DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRI DAY, MARC H 10, 1933 Lenin--On “Democracy” rem Take the fundamental laws of modern States, take their internal administration, take the right of meeting and freedom of the press and the so-called equality of all citizens before the law, and you will see at every step evidence of the hypocrisy of bourgeois demo- cracy, with which every honest and intelligent worker is familiar. There is not a single State, how- ever democratic, which does not contain loopholes or limiting clau- ses. in its, constitution, which guarantee the bourgeoisie the legal possibility of dispatching troops against the workers, of proclatm- ing martial law and so forth, in the case of- the disturbance of -public order, that is, in the case of “disturbance” by the servile elass of its servile conditions, and of attempts to strike a non-servile attitude, . . Proletarian democracy. ¢{ whiah the Soviet regime con: .itutes one of the forms, has zg’ / to the world a hitherto unknown expan- sion and development of demo- cracy for the gigantic majority of the -opulation, for the exploited and laboring masses. . . ("The Proletarian Revolution,” by N. Lenin.) FOR NEW HEARING ON VENUE FOR 9 CHATTANOOGA, March 9.—A vi- gorous effort will be made by the In-| ternational Labor Defense attorneys) to reopen the hearing on their mo- tion for a change of venue for the} new trials of the nine innocent) Scoottsboro boys. | At the hearing Monday, Judge A.! E. Hawkins, under pressure of the world-wide protests against the at-| tempted legal lynching of the Scotts- | boro boys, accepted the motion for a change of venue, but selected the small town of Decatur for the new] trials. He rejected the proposals of | the I, L, D, attorneys that the new trials be held in Birmingham. The| town of Decatur is like Scottsboro a/ rural center of. a backward popula-| tion whose minds are still completely poisoned by the race hatred prop- aganda of the white ruling class. The I. L. D. attorneys are prepared | vo present evidence that feeling | against Negroes is almost as strong in Morgan County, site of Decatur, as in Jackson County in which| Scottsboro is situated. In both Jack- son County and Morgan County there are communities where Negroes are not permitted to stay over night, and where insulting signs face Negro travelers warning them as, “Nigger, don’t let the sun set on you here.” If the trials are‘ held at Dectaur, they will be presided over by Cir- cuit Judge Horton of Athens, Ala. ‘While Horton has not yet set a sack for the trials b has expressed ‘will: ingness to con ne a special session of court at the earliest possible date and in other ways co-operate with the State in speeding through the trials, Attorney General Knight, of Alabama, already has declared that the State is ready. to proceed with the trials on March 20. The defense attorneys are vigor- e@usly pushing the fight against the exelusion of Negroes from juries in Alabama, and will continue to push their motion for the quashing of the indictments against the Scottsboro boys on the grounds that Negroes were excluded from the Grand Jury bringing in the indictments, and from the petit jury which rushed through the death sentences against eight of the boys without permitting them to communicate. with their pa- rents or arrange adequate legal de- tense. The defense attorneys will also demand separate trials for each of the boys. Protests backing up the defense demands should be rushed immedi- ately to Gov. B, M.

JINT’L LABOR OFFICE PLOTS WORLD STAGGER SYSTEM | League of Nations Labor Bureau, With Aid of Social Fascists, Trie s to Spread Hunger ‘Only Revolutionary Unions and Communis' Parties Fight to Cut Hours and Raise Pay, Says Pravda The same sort of stagger system | represented in the Black 30-hour bill, which the bosses, with the aid | of William Green of the A. F. of L., and the Socialist Party are trying to put over in the United States, is being attempted on an inter- national scale. through the Inter national Labor Office. This Inter> national Labor Office is an outfit run by the League of Nations, and | its leading members are also mem- | bers of the Second International. A recent conference at which a 40- hour stagger system was proposed | is analyzed in an article in ‘Pravda,’ which jis as follows: | LEADING ARTICLE OF ‘PRAYDA’ } OF FEBRUARY 6, 1933 The Geneva_ Preparatory Con- ference of the International Labour Office has spent two weeks dis- cussing the question of the 40-hour week. The social fascist parties and | reformist trade unions made a great | |fuss about this Conference. They | | declared that the shortening of | working hours to 40 hours a week | was the most important and remark- | jable means of combatting the crisis | and unemployment. Green, the lead- er of the reformist trade unions in the United States, even declared that the American Federation of week, M. Jouhaux, the revresentative of | the French C. G. T., a man of great experience in regard (> de- ception and betrayal of the \.ovsing masses, even went so far as to declare: “If nothing is done, a catastrophe can occur, It is the task of the con- ference to avert the danger, for the | present situation cannot Jast in-| definitely. The moment it becomes provement, , the ‘sufferings of the working people will ‘€ause an. out- break which will land us no-one knows where.” Jouhaux, in appealing to the good them to agree to the shortening of the working week in order to ensure the safety of the capitalist system, in order to preserve it from the proletarian revolution, openly de- clared at the Conference that the whole caropaign which the refor~ mists are conducting for the” 40- hour working week is for them only a, means of offering a prospect to the working people, of filling them th hope of the possibility of im- roving their situation under capi- ‘talism, “of being rescued from the fearful—sufferings. and terrible mi- sery which the crisis hag brought them. The German social fascists and reformists trade unions have launch- ed a big campaign fcr the 40-hour working week. The rapid reyolution- isation of the working masses of Germany, who have learned from bitter experience that. the social de- moeracy is the faithful watchdog of finance capital, is compelling the social democratic leaders to resort to ever fresh manoeuvers. They see in the slogan of the 40-hour work- ing week a further means of keep- ing the workers from going over to Communism, As the social democrats declare, the fascist Schleicher government was to have taken the first step to “socialism” by realjzing the slogan of the 40-hour, working week, i. e., by reducing all employed workers to the position of short-time workers. The social democrats are now de- manding the same thing of the Hitler government! At the Geneva Conference the Donations Decline to $155 Wednesday; Lowest Drive Total Since January 26th Bus Drivers Strike Paris bus drivers stopped traffic for 10 minutes and staged demon- strations in protest against planned wage cuts. Here is a crowd that had gathered at the end of about | two minutes. | representative of the fascist Schlei- cher government defended the pro- posal of an international shortening of the working week, of course with corresponding reductions of wages. The representative of the German trade unions adopted the same at- titude. In spite of the endeavours of the reformists, the Geneva Con- ference remained without result. The arguments of the reformists failed | to convince the representatives of | finance capital who were present. In order to save the face of the Conference, a resolution, which does not pledge anybody to anything, was adopted, stating that the reduction of the working week is one of the means of combating unemployment and recommending that this ques- tion should be studied in detail. What is the real meaning of the; “yeforni” which the. social fascists | and their trade unions thus de- fend? si The shortening of the working week, (of course with corresponding wage reductions) which is recom~ mended by the reformists and by @ number of bourgeois .econoinists as a remedy against the. crisis, does not represent anything new in prin= ciple. It is a means of converting the workers in employment inte short-time workers, a means of re- ducing the standard of living of the workers and of attacking the working class. The present crisis, which has already lasted 342 years, is, with its enormous unemployment, charac- terized by the fact that the con- version of workers into short-time | workers is assuming enormous di- | mensions. The workers in the fac- tories ate compelled to remain idle} three or four days a week, As 2 result, even according to the figures of the International Labor Oftige, the working week in the whole industry of the United States amounted to on an average in Sep- tember 1932 to 34.8 hours. 67 per cent of the workers in the U. 5, A. are on short time, In Germany, in September 1932, 403 per cent of the workers still employed were on short-time. This fact has played a not unimportant role in the disas- trous drop in the average wages of the the workers in the capitalist countries. The circumstance that the capi- talists are opposed to a legal reduc- tion of the working week on an in- ternational scale is to be explained as solely due to the fact that they prefer to shorten the working week, With simultaneous reduction of wages, according to their own re- quirements, each in his factory or MEMPHIS COPS KILL PRISONER \Prisoner Is Beaten to} Death by Dicks MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 9.—Pres- sure of the International Labor De- fense campaign against the murder | of Levon Carlock, young Negro, by | | six Memphis police officers, has forced | Police Commissioner Cliff Davis, Mayor Overton and other city o! cials to the point of ridiculous squirmings in their attempts to evade the spotlight being placed upon their killings of Carlock and now of Lloyd Lowe.

A Crude Lie. “He fell against a radiator,” is the story the police give out, trying to convince the thoroughly aroused population that this latest third de- gree victim had planned to throw an epileptic fit. Long and intricate explanations following frantic conferences have been attempted as a result of the charges brought by the I. L.
