Ic peed-Up Kills Workers on Scrap Iron for Japan By a Worker Correspondent CHEST1.., Pa.—Workers in the Sun Ship Yard here are working under the terrible pressure of the speed-up system. There have been 45 men taken to the hospital in the past two or three weeks from speed-up and gas. One man got killed yesterday. Men are forced to labor under this system to the point of dropping, with weakness. In fact the men are forced to quit or are carried out, or sent to the hospital in such numbers that it is impossible to keep their places filled. Why? Because this is a government job. Goyernment ships being scrapped to load Japanese ships so that iron and steel that is.salvaged.from these boats can be sent; with the consent and cooperation of the United States government, through the U. S. to Japan and to be used by the imperialist government of Japan as war machines, bombs and heavy artillery and every other method of machinery used in slaughtering the Chinese masses. Two Japanese ships have already been docked here, one is loaded and is on its way, another is now being loaded and more are expected.

WASHINGTON, April 3.—Regula- tions covering the forced labor camps will place states on a quota basis, according to plans worked out by the war, labor, agricultural and interior} departments. No camp will have more than 1,000 men, working in prison garb under military regula- tions for a year at one dollar a day, which is the figui# Roosevelt sets as that officially apptoved by the “new deal” administration for the working class of the country.

They “accept in principle,” which, as old Bismark used to say, means to reject in practice. The French will maintain that any revision of fron- tiers is impossible at present.

It was evident from the line of ques- tioning, however, that the defense would soon prove that the witness had had relations with men a day or two before she was picked off the train at Paint Rock, thus accounting for the slight evidences found by doctors who examined her in that town. Knight To the Rescue of a Liar While Leibowitz tried to show that the Price woman had been with Gilley, and Lester Carter with Ruby Bates, in a box car all night before leaving the freight train, Prosecutor Knight lost his temper and ex- claimed : “I don’t care what her previous convictions or actions were—but she never lived with niggers!” Gilley and Carter were among the seven white youths on the train, Judge Horton sustained the pros- ecution objection to the defense in- troducing in evidence official docu- ments, and the record of Price's con- viction on lewdness in Huntsville. When Leibowitz declared that he would prove by medical testimony that Price, having had intercourse two or three days previously, might still later retain evidences of it, Price exclaimed nervously: “You cannot do that!” Wayers On Details From previous cross-examination this morning, it was evident that the Price woman, despite careful coach- ing, was not sure of the details re- garding what she claimed happened in the gondola car. Questioned by the pi repeated the now-famili v as though she had memorized it: That the Negro boys, among them Haywood Patterson now on trial, Jumped upon her and Ruby Bates from a box car into the gondola, swinging knives and guns and throwing all seven boys but one off the car.

The Daily Worker was the first paper in the United States to ex- pose the hideous lynch frame-up against the nine innocent Negro boys and during the past two years has carried on an unceas- ing campaign in their behalf. The Daily Worker has not only re- flected the international mass movement organized by the Inter- national Labor Defense, but has, as the central organ of the Com- munist Party served as organizer in mobilizing mass protest. Now especially when the capi- talist press is seeking to lull the workers into a sense of false se- curity while the lynch prepara~- tions go on in Alabama, the need is urgent for bringing the true facts of the case and the whole system of Negro oppression to the workers and farmers of the United States. : The Daily Worker has special correspondents in .covering the trial.

With Judge Horton peering over the prosecutor's shoulder, Knight, for the first time during the two years of the case introduced in evieence the “step-ins” worn by the Price woman, which she claims the boys tore dur- ing the alleged struggle. Coat Untorn Under relentless cross-examination by Leibowitz, Price declared that the coat which she wore at the time of the alleged rape was cleaned before the first hearing, and she offered this as an “explanation” for the fact that it showed no spots, tears, etc, This point is especially significant in view of the fact that the hearing was held almost immediately after the arrests of the Negro boys, and the girls were taken to jail at the time they were taken off the train. A dramatic moment occurred at the morning session when Attorney Letb- owitz set up in the courtroom facing the jury a miniature freight train and tracks, which the lawyer will use to show,,the falsity of the “evidence” | send the Negro boys to the electric {chair, Later Victoria Price looked upon the tiny train with suspicion, and under questioning by Leibowitz, refused to say whether the train bore any resemblance to the one on which she had ridden. Afraid of Ruby When the witness became upset un- der the lawyer's cross-examination and lost her temper, she sought to avoid answering questions directly by saying, “that’s some of Ruby's dope that you have got there,” referring evidently to the repudiation which | Ruby Bates made of the frame-up testimony against the boys at the original Scottsboro trial.

Hardly was the ink dry on President Roosevelt's sig- nature ordering the cuts then Vet erans’ Administration officials nounced a new slash not contained the original order. This is a reduc- tion of 10 per cent, effective July 1, in pensions of Civil and Indian War veterans and their widows.
