Mass Marches. - ~*~ ~ At the same time mass marches are being organized in Washington and Westmoreland counties on April Ist, to voice the demands of the unem- Ployed for immediate relief.

Over 20 such demonstrations are being arranged and news coming in from the field indicate that the miners are speed~ ing up preparations for the coming struggle. As a result of the tremendous sen- timent for struggle, the operators are mobilizing their armed forces against the strike. "MLW.A. Slanders The U....W.A. leaders are carry- ing on a slander campaign against the united front in an effort to stop the tremendous support being given the cali for struggle by the rank and file of the U.M.W.A. Together with the operators these officials have caused reports to circulate that yol- untary increases in pay will be given, in the hope of stemming the strike preparations. PLAN TO DOUBLE ARSENAL OUTPUT WASHINGTON.—Plans to double production at the Rock Island, DL, arsenal are being pushed by Repre- sentative Chester of Tli- nois, and B. M. Jacobson, of Iowa, both democrats. “We hope to in- @tease production there,” Thompson said, “until the output exceeds war- time production.” The two congressmen expect to get government backing for their plans, as Roosevelt is only too eager to carry out the war and hunger program of the bosses.

Here spring is far advanced, the trees bear young, fresh leaves, the grass is rich green. pringtime an wall and flimsy prison bars isolate them from the defense table, from the public gaze. ‘The first night in the Decatur jail, the boys know that the jail is weak.

The nine boys feel at home thru- out the whole court proceeding. They chat easily with each other, laugh heartily when the defense makes a good point—and that is very often. They read the newspapers eagerly. In their whole bearing is that same confidence which brings hundreds of Negroes to the courtroom everyday, which brought Negro witnesses from Scottsboro and Jackson County to state openly in court that Negroes are systematically excluded from jury service. HIS courtroom is the nerye center of the whole struggle symbolized by the Scottsboro case. And in these Negro boys we have at one and the same time the intended victims of bourbon supremacy and the defiant reply of the roused toiling masses. Directly in front of the nine boys sit the attorneys of the International Labor Defense.

Milk Drivers’ Strike Looms As Troopers Club Dairymen ROCHESTER, N. Y., March 31.—A 24-Hour suspension of the we Producers Association striko —_—_————— farmers stormed the legislature, some of the speakers made comparisons be- “ ‘high wages” of the drivers of the dairymen. The present situa- tion reveals drivers and the dairy farmers as being equally victimized by the milk trust and their small-fry As farmers continued their militant tactics in preventing the entry of milk into the city, Major John A. ‘Warner, son-in-law of Al Smith, to- day ordered 150 additional state troopers to join the uniformed thugs who for the past three days have been clubbing the striking pickets. Yesterday two of the dairymen were sent to a hospital while scores of oth- lawyers who have come to plead their case. They know that behind these lawyers there looms a mass support which circles around the world. They know that not only the 400 specta- tors in the courtroom, but millions of toilers have their eyes fixed intently } on the courthouse in Decatur. Their whole demeanor, their proud and dignified bearing, their ease; ex- press the power of a movement which has made possible the concentrated and rapid victories being recorded in the courtroom. ® .

Roy, the youngest of the boys, is the most restless. )They try the bars. They stamp on the floor for hollow space below. They measure with their eyes the 10 feet from the cell window to the ground, They examine the wood to see how easily kindled it can be. The examination makes them still more nervous. For they pace the floor the whole night, now and then sitting down to read, addressing a few nervous remarks to each other. For here in the jail house, in the dark of night, the rest of the world which is theirs {s dimmed, is not so apparent, seems far away. Much closer seems the bourbon south and lynch rage; much closer the rage of those who have accepted as unal- terable principle the doctrine of white supremacy, which is being so openly challenged.

To become a voter in Morgan County, it was pointed out, a Negro must be able to remember by heart and recite the whole Constitytion of the United States, and interpret it to the satisfaction of their lynch mas- ters, a feat which few whites or Ne- groes can accomplish. Similar limit- ations are imposed upon white work- ers, it was pointed out, unless the boss-controlled political machine is convinced that they are “all right.” Other disqualificatory rulings and “customs” exclude most Negroes and many white workers from jury ser- vice, Threats have been made against the lives and safety of any Negroes who dare testify for the defense in aroused around Scottsboro defense, pared to testify.

RUBIN NEW YORK.— Following several weeks of firing of the workers active in organizing the Foltis-Fischer ca- feterias, the Union was faced with the problem of either permitting the company to throw out all those work- ers who participated in the organi- zation or of declaring a strike. On February 13 a committee went with the laid-off workers to the 43rd Street store demanding their rein- statement. When the union was told by the receivership and the manage- ment that they did not recognize the committee, the union placed the first picket ne. 3 Re-instatement of all striking workers, right to belong to the union, recognition of the shop committee, 25 per cent flat increase in wages, 10- hour day for the workers, return of the money paid by the workers to Foltis for “shares,” free laundry for the girls’ uniforms, decent rest rooms. Solidarity Will Win Strike The company has used all the tricks in its possession, from under- world terror to other schemes, to in- timidate the workers into returning. When this failed they decided to sue the leadership of the union and a number of strikers for contempt of court. With these contempt of court proceedings they are trying to estab- lish a precedent that the workers Bee ec ie, acc peers et These were defied by the defense attorneys who announced they would not be deterred for one mo- ment in their battle for Negro rights, and to save the Scottsboro Se The attack upon the jury list is expected to last the remainder of this week, postponing the picking of the jury itself until Monday.

It must become the concern of every organized worker regardless of what his union affiliation may be and of every unorganized worker. SPORTS The Eastern District of the Labor Sports Union has issued an appeal to its members to come out to the anti-fascist demonstration at South and Whitehall streets today in athletic jerseys if the weather per- mits. Special appeals have been sat to Socialist and Jewish sport bodies to participate in this demon- stration. Reports from Germany, particular- ly from the headquarters of the Red Sports International, state that the German labor and Jewish sportsmen are prohibited the use of their gyms, and sport fields, their sport equip- ment, is being smashed, and the leaders of their sport organizations arrested and attacked by fascist bands, BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT SUNDAY This Sunday some 15 teams will battle it out at the Kaytee Hall for the right to represent New York at the finals for the National Open Labor Sports Union basket- ball championship, to be held in Cleveland two weeks later.

Doug- las on ways and means of forcing the hundreds of thousands of indignant veterang throughout the country to swallow the various cuts in ex-ser- vicemen’s benefits contained in the Wall Street-Roosevelt economy bill. Among the organizations represented were the American Legion, Veterans Veterans and Spanish War Veterans. It is now being openly admitted, as charged by the Veterans’ National Liaison Committee, a militant united front group, that the cuts are even more drastic than at first announced. Instead of reductions totalling $383,- 530,000, Budget Director Douglas de- clared yesterday they would amount to $425,000,000. Other semi-official sources have put the figure as high a8 $485,000,000. Faced with the revolt of their rank and file, the leaders of the veterans’ | organizations yesterday pleaded with Douglas for a few concessions. The government, however, is determined to gouge all it can out of the vets. It is also being admitted that the service-connected disabilities will also be drastically reduced while the s called non-service-connected disabil- ities will be eliminated entirely. Span- | ish war veterans will be cut to the limit, while those getting pensions who cannot prove service-connected disability will have their pensions taken away. Since the veterans’ administration | is being given sweeping powers in | carrying through the cuts, the total) to be slashed off the benefits is like- ly to be increased. | While the leaders af the American) | Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars,| ete., have called on their members to back up “their commander-in-chief” (Roosevelt) and take the cuts lying down, the Veterans National Liaison Committee is going shead with its plans to mobilize the masses of vets all over the country in a powerful| movement to force Congress to stop |the cuts and pay the bonus. Rank | and file action around local relief is-| | sues is being organized in preparation | |for a march to Washington May 12.) | Members of the Legion and other} | veterans’ organizations are called on| ; to raise these issues at their post | | meetings and rally their comrades for | the march to Washington.
