STATE ARE SICK Epidemic of Measles Spreading NEW YORK.—An admission that| the crisis was seriously undermining the health of the unemployed was made by Commissioner Thomas Par-| Tan, Jr., of the State Department of Health, in a radio speech in connec- tion with the 127th annual meeting of the Medical Society of the State of New York. Parran revealed that a survey of 1,600 families, made in December, but kept secret until now, had shown that one person in six among these families was ill. He declared this was typical of conditions throughout the| state. More than one-half of these illnesses had received no medical care whatever,” he said. Parran admitted that even ~those| unemployed who are not sick are not getting enough to eat and their| health is threatened. He also said that unemployment has had a serious effect on mental health. An epidemic’ of measles is now sweeping the city, affecting chiefly the children of the unemployed. New measles cases continued to increase during the week ending last Satur- day, according to an announcement by Commissioner of Health Shirley ‘W. Wynne. The failure of the city and state relief authorities to provide adequate relief is directly responsible for this undermining of the health of tens of thousands of unemployed workers and their families. The situation would be even worse were it not for the fact that the Unemployed Councils and block committees have forced the Home Relief Bureau to grant relief in many cases, WHAT’S ON | Friday | (Manhattan ) LUNCH TODAY?

If the worker, black or white, na- tive or foreign-born, or those sym- pathizing with him, has sought to protect working class interests or lives, he finds, in the administration of the law, the hand of the State against him. The class struggle be- gun on the streets or in the shop is carried into the court room. The | forces of working class defense rally the forces of capitalist “justice” and “democracy.” Capitalist “Justice” Capitalist justice in theory is ¢ pressed in the beautiful democratic phrases contained in the constitu- tions of the capitalist governments, ir the high-sounding phrases which the Judge and the Prosecu' proclaim even-handed justice. The | real class essence of capitalist justice | is exposed when an Angelo Herndon is given 18 yei at hard labor on} the chain gang- is “crime” was that | he demanded bread and work for un- | employed and starving “forgotten” | black and white toilers; when Moo- | ney and Billings, whose “crimes” were that they demanded for the | ing class the right to apply its right to organize, its right of free | speech, are given life imprisonment | by a capitalist court; when Sacco | and Vanzetti are ruthlessly murdered | to terrorize an awakening working | class; when nine innocent youths of | an oppressed nation are railroaded | to the electric chair to smash with terror any striving of their people for national liberation. A clear ana- lysis of these events helps to destroy the illusions of the impartiality of capitalist justice and capitalist fair play. por front little makes Pea eee: The “Militant,” organ in the Uni-| ted States of Mr. Trotzky, who en- joys such prestige in the press of the capitalist world, hurls a bouquet of slander and invective at the In- ternational Labor Defense because of its utilization of the services of Mr. Samuel S. Leibowitz, prominent at- torney, in the Scottsboro case. These “defenders” of principle tell us that this is proof that the International Labor Defense has fallen upon evil days. “It begins to look as though the International Labor Defense were teetering on the brink of a piece of | rotten and dangerous opportunism,” | we are informed. To these saviors of the Interna- tional Labor Defense, who seek also to “save” the only political party of the working class by betraying its fundamental principles, we answer, dear “friends,” we are afraid that the wish is father to the thought. But our contempt for these friends does not relieve us of the duty of dispelling the confusion they seek to create in the minds of their follow- ers. Their demagogy must be ex- posed as relentlessly as we expose the democratic illusion about the im- Partiality of justice which appears in the pages of the degenerate cap- italist press which so readily hires the services of their leader, Mr. Trotzky. Lawyers and Mass Action | ‘We are told by the “Militant” that the International Labor Defense, when it retains lawyers, swears them to silence “on all points where they disagree with it.” But the “Militant” editors lie deliberately. The Inter- national Labor Defense imposes no such obligation, nor is it so simple as to regard this as possible. International Labor Defense law- | yers are engaged to serve it on the basis of their ability as “court-room technicians.” The services of Mr. Walter Pollak, for example, were re- tained to argue the Scotisboro ap- DOWNTOWN Stage and Screen | RINGLING BROS.

The question ther he agreed or disagreed h the basic policy of the Inter- ional Labor Defense was not an Certainly t ‘e Was no talk eeing “to interfere neither in word or deed with the Interna- tional Labor Defense’s conduct of t litical struggle.” i Pollak could not interfere with the mobilization of mass pressure by the International Labor Defense one way or another. Nor can any other Leibowitz on questions of politics and economics are not considered by the Interna- tional Labor Defense. His attitude in the court room is, however. Were he to hesitate “so speak and compel the court to adhere to the rules of court procedure formulated by the government itself, but which were systematically violated by the agents of the court” when workers and their sympathizers were on trial, his con-!| nections with the International La- bor Defense would be severed, Leibowitz’s Task. Mr. Leibowitz is carrying out the line of the International Labor Defense in the court room in this particular c This was the condition im- pr upon him, He was not asked to nor could he engage in the polit- ical defense of the accused, but his legal defense of the accused is polit- ical. It is not @ condition that he agree with the entire viewpoints of the International Labor Defense. But he has openly declared in the court room, “If it were got for the International Labor Defense these nine boys would now be dead.” Mr. Leibowitz is asked to fight the/ Scottsboro frame-up from the legal | point of view, to take advantage of every contradiction in the bosses’ law, and Mr. Leibowitz is satisfac- torily carrying out this task. Our own task is to draw the correct polit- ical conclusions from the attempts of Mr. Thomas E. Knight, Jr., rep- resentative of the State, to deny to ne their constitutional rights and to murder innocent boys. Our own task is to awaken the working Class! Our dubious friends of the “Mili- tant” demand a united front with members of the bar. So, gentlemen, this is your conception of the “Len- inist tactic of the united front” on the field of working class defense struggles. We contemptuously feject your viewpoint. It was not in this sense, take note, that Lenin ever said that the lawyer was “the instru- ment, the tool of the class which employs him.” You say: “Only if the relationship is on such basis (united front with the lawyer.—W. L. P.) can the International Labor Defense relate a good legal fight to the fundamental and essential polit-' Incidentally, the ruling class of the | WILLIAM L. PATTERSON ical fight.” (Emphasis mine—WLP.). | The International Labor Defense does not “relate” the one to the other. With the International Labor Defense these struggles remain inseparably related. Gentlemen, it is not the lawyer| who represents the working class in the capitalist courts. We are the rep- resentatives of the working class, as is also the defendant. The lawyer | is not a revolutionist, nor does the} sale or contribution of his services| believes that only mass pressure can | to a revolutionary organization make | pring about the release of a class) It 1s, of course, not un-| war prisoner; that pressure must be | natural that you should think in| supplemented by legal defense.

It is not the lawyer who politicalizes the defense strug-| gles led by the International Labor | Defense, but his legal defense which | is politicalized by the International | Labor Defense. Mr. Leibowitz, under | the direction of the International | Labor Defense, is fighiing for the | constitutional rights of Negroes and| the class character of this case with! of white workers as well. Thus he | is helping to politicalize the Scotts- | boro case. Where Verdicts Are Rendered. The courtrooms of the working | class are the streets. It is in the) streets that they must pass their verdict of innocence on a class war victim. When they in sufficient numbers have done this, that verdict will be reflected by a judge and jury in capitalist courts. That Mr. Pollak | did or did not express any disagree- ment with the policy of the Inter- national Labor Defense did not influ- | ence the Supreme Court in the re-| versal of the lynch verdict of Ala- bama. The Scottsboro boys’ were saved by mass pressure. The cam- paign of the International Labor De- fense balanced the scales in favor) of the boys. The united voice of an outraged working class was too loud to ignore. LAUNCH HARLEM LIBERATOR; FIRST ISSUE OUT APRIL 15th Gala Affair at Alhambra Hall Same Night; To | Be Fighting Paper |_NEW YORK—The first issue of the Harlem Liberator which will appear on April 15, will be greeted by a ball at the Alhambra Ballroom 126th and Seventh Ave., the same night. The very conditions in Harlem make it possible for the building of @ powerful weekly paper among the Negro people, soldifying their strug- gles wit!. those of the white workers. The establishment of a weekly newspaper is not an easy matter, es- pecially in view of the deepening economic crisis, Yet there are thous- ands of Negro organizations which, if we can penetrate them, will be only too glad to support such a paper. At the same time, every ounce of energy must be exerted to mobilize the support of our language mass or- ganizations in the Harlem section to establish the Harlem Liberator on a firm footing, We therefore appeal to all organi- zations, especially those in the Har- lem section, to cooperate by sending greetings to the first issue in the Harlem Liberator, 2149 Seventh Ave., Room 103; arrange to take bundle orders regularly every week and par- ticipate in the Liberator Sunday drive on April 16. If these initial steps are carried though it is certain that we will be able to succeed in carying through our quota drive of 1,000 new subscribers from April 15 to June 15.

Basic International Labor Defense Policy. The International Labor Defense legal defense must be of the most expert character. Every legal tech- nicality must be used. The more far- reaching the knowledge of the lawyer retained by the International Labor | Defense, the more easily and effec-| It is the worker defendant who | tively can the worker be shown that | It is) the guarantees of justice extended | him by the ruling class are mean- ingless. Mr. Leibowitz has this expert knowledge. Every report coming out of the Decatur court house shows him in the forefront along the line of the International Labor Defense of the legal battle for every right supposedly guaranteed the innocent defendants, by State and Federal Constitutions. He has brought out the utmost clarity because he fol- lowed the International Labor De- fense line. Mass Pressure Only Guarantee. Mass pressure by the American working class, mobilized to that point where the ruling class recognizes its potential force, is the only guaran- tee of safety for the Scottsboro boys. This mobilization does not rest alone in the hands of the International La- bor Defense. It rests in the hands of the entire leadership of the Amer- ican working class. This mobiliza- tion can be realized only to the ex- tent that the American working class is made to recognize that the strug-| gle against the system of national | oppression, and for the democratic rights of the Negro masses, is part jand parcel of the strjiggle for the democratic rights of the working class as a whole. In the Scottsboro case, the Inter- national Labor Defense has achieved its greatest success defending the rights of members of an oppressed nation. It has, therefore, achieved its greatest success in the defense of the democratic rights of the work- ing class of America as a whole. It has advanced this defense to a high political level under Lenin’s slogans repudiated by the righteous “de- fenders of principles” who control the “Militant.” united struggle for equal rights for Negroes, white workers cannot realize complete democracy.

The delegation went on record against piece-work and de- manded that week work be retained, calling attention to the present situ- ation where agreements are gener- ally violated without any action by the union. The delegation called for a general strike to enforce week work. METAL WORKERS WIN SHORT STRIKE ‘The organized metal workers of the Century Metal shop on Avenue C went out on strike Wednesday, when the boss attempted to hire a rela~ tive in place of one of the workers. After a few hours strike, the bosses had to retreat and give in to the demand for reinstatement of the fired worker. The workers of the Century re- cently joined the Metal Workers In- dustrial Union and were thus able to force the bosses to give in to their demands. The workers of the Cen- tury are actively supporting the Cromwell and Colonial strikers and participating in the building of the Union. A general membership meeting of the Metal Workers Industrial Union will be held on Friday, April 7, at 8 p.m. at the new headquarters of the Union, 35 E. 19th St., New York. METAL UNIONS REJECT BOSS PROPOSAL NEW YORK.—The Metal Workers’ Industrial Union and the Metal Spinners Union, which are leading the strikes at the Cromwell and Co- lonial shops today rejected the pro- posal made by the bosses at a con- ference which they called for a set- tlement of the strike in one shop only, the Colonial. N.Y. NAZIS FLED AS WORKERS CAME Hitler Effigy Carted to Fascist Camp By ROBERT CHASE NEW YORK.—The cowardly Brown Shirts, closed their headquarters at 309 East 9nd Street, Tuesday night and slunk away when they heard of the plans by German workers of that section to parade in front of their camp and burn an effigy of Hitler. Before the parade urrived the street was already crowded with workers and others, There was the inevit- able horde of cops scattered around the street and tonight something ad- ditional, a police patrol already there, drawn up protectively right square in front of the entrance to the Nazi headquarters. Around 9.15 the sound of the Red Front Band heading the parade was heard. Soon it was entering the “war zone,” with 200 workers swinging behind a truck carrying the effigy of the brutal Hitler. A spontaneous cheer arose from the hundreds of workers crowding the sidewalks and windows, with many taking up the cry of the marchers “Down with Hitler,” “Fight against Fascism.” As the truck crawled closer and closer to the Hitler house, everyone was tense. The cops swung into action their long clubs prominent, husky thugs came to the front. “You can’t stop.” Behold the blue coat fascists of the United States protecting the Brown Shirt fascists of Germany! As the parade passed, with hun- dreds following it, I spoke to a young worker from the neighborhood. “Are their headquarters always closed”? I asked pointing to the dark windows of the Brown Shirt rooms. “No,” he said, “The'’re lit up every night in the week, with meetins’, dancin’ and singin.’ “Well how about tonight?” “I guess they lost their nerve,” That’s the answer.
