| | ON TO WASHINGTON FOR THE FREEDOM OF SCOTTSBORO BOYS THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE 13th, 14th, 15th AMENDMENTS EDITORIALS “A Highly Intelligent Jury” The latest utterance of the “impartial” legal lyncher Judge Horton once and for all reveals him in his true place—side by side with the most savage lynch pack. With the most cynical hypocrisy, Judge Horton sentenced Haywood Patterson to die in the electric chair, and in the same breath, proclaims that the statement of Leibowitz about the bigotry of the South now makes 4 “fair trial” impossible. Judge Horton now lets loose the traditional tirade of the Southern masters against all who fight for the rights of Negroes, that it is the ene- mies of the lynch system who are responsible for the “prejudice” lynehers. The 300 years of merciless exploitation and brutality of the southern slave-drivers are forgotten. The five thousand Negro bodies that: have been tortured by fire and rope in the last 30 years, the unspeakable jim-crow degradation of the centuries—all this is forgotten by the “fair and humane” Judge Horton. Leibowitz denounced the lynch verdict—and presto: a “fair trial is no longer possible!” Judge Horton thus asserts that it is the defenders of the Scottsboro boys who are responsible for the lynch sentences. Says Judge Horton: . Certain influences which to this court appear sinister ... are actuated by a desire to stir up and foment strife between the races in the South...” | The tremendous fight of the I. L. D. and the world protest appear to this “compassionate” judge, as “sinister influences”! To Judge Horton it is not the lynch pack, but the defense which stands between the boys and execution which is sinister! Could one state any more clearly the detestable creed of the lynchers? ‘The statement of Judge Horton as he sentenced Haywood Patterson to die is the statement of a slave-driver who is fully prepared “to defend | the peaceful relations of the South”, who is prepared to defend with lynch terror the whole hideous structure of the national oppression of the Negro people. Judge Horton defends the lynch jury which smilingly delivered Hay- wood Patterson to the executioner as a group “of highly intelligent men who wished to do what was right in this case.” Judge Horton is now the leading defender of the lynch verdict. This adds irrefutable confirmation of-the policy proclaimed by the In- ternational Labor Defense, that the lives of the boys will be lost if the vigilance of the masses is dulled by legalistic illusions. Now more than ever must the mass protest be vigilant and strong Now more than ever must all faith fn the justice of capitalist lyneh courts be ruthlessly destroyed. The Negro people, and the toiling masses are determined that the Seottsboro boys shall not dic. As the lynch judge Horton takes his rightful place at the head of the lynchers, the Negro people aud the aroused peoples of the world tighten their ranks, and prepare to accept the challenge of the lynch masters Militarizing The Jobless A quarter of a million unemployed workers taken from their homes and concentrated in forced labor camps; this is a part of Roosevelt’s pro- gram. In his inaugural speech on March 4 the President said: “Our greatest primary task is to put people to work... .” “It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war.” Put people to work in forced labor camps, that is what he meant. Pay them one dollar a day and then use it to support their dependants. In other words, make them work without pay at projects which the gov- ernment will later turn over to big corporations to reap millions in profits. This can be accomplished if we treat the task as in the emergency of a war, says Roosevelt. It is clear that this army of young men be- tween the ages of 18 to 25 is to be prepared for the “emergency. of a war.” With complete silence on the part of the press, the idea of a civil admin- istration is being eliminated for the camps. As is credited to a report of General Drum, 1,500 captains and 3,000 lieutenants, well fed slave- drivers for the ruling class, will with rigid military rules force the men to labor in the forests. Alluring pictures were painted of the wenderful surround:)-s the men will have. But a United Press report from a camp near Luray, Va., ad- mits that, “Some slept in pup tents, some slept unuer the stars” and in the morning “they washed . . . in the icy waters of Passage Creek!” Very poetic words from our bourgeois reporter. What does the government care when workers sleep “under the stars,” in the forests where pneu- monia can easily be contracted. There are 17,000,000 jobless all over the land to replace them. Are we against a program of public works? Of course not. But a program whereby unemployed will be put to work destroying the slums in workers’ sections, especially the dilapidated sections prevalent in Negro localities in every large city. In its place build new workers’ homes, re- creation centers and hospitals. This to be done at trade union rates of wages, with committees of organized and unorganized workers supervising the work, Already many have left the labor camps. In some cities demonstra- tions have taken place directly against this dastardly program. But so far most of these struggles were sporadic. They must unite broader masses of employed and unemployed workers. Locals of the A.F.of L. should go on record against the Roosevelt hunger program. United front movements should be built comprising the trade unions, Unemployed Councils, Citizens Leagues, all workers, to fight against forced labor. The demands of the majority of workers is immediate cash relief to support their families and not forced labor for their children, The Ri ‘elt administration must not be allowed to forget for one moment the demand of the workers—Unemployment Insurance. Not these measures of further beating down the conditions of the unemployed, but taxation of the swollen incomes of the bosses, using the billion dollar war- budget—this can supply sufficient funds for Unemployment Insurance. Support ek Workers The Ivish masses are rallying for another onslaught against imperial- ist oppression and their native bourgeoisie, The reaction that followed the Easter (1916) uprising and the heroic civil war of 1920-23, fierce as it was, did not succeed in crushing the workers’ movement. Revolutionary Ireland is stepping forward again. The Irish masses are consolidating their strength. Strikes are more frequently breaking out, and many of them clearly show that there is a realization of the use of the strixe weapon against political tyranny, and as a weapon that enables the workers to move toward the offensive. The recent Ulster railway workers’ strike brought forth characteristics which clearly showed the Irish workers are not afraid to defy government decrees. In the ranks of the Irish Republican Army, greater political under- standing is developfng. The rank and file have shown this in their shoulder to shoulder fight with the employed and unemployed of both the Ulster and “Free State” areas. The working class of the United States, and the great section of Irish-Americans within its ranks, must demonstrate their support of this new stage of struggle. Material support to the revolutionary movement, must be given. The Easter anniversary celebration this year can and must be turned into mass demonstrations against the servile De Valera government and the vacillating leadership of the Irish Republican Army. These dem- onstrations must fully support the fight for the Irish Workers’ and Farm- ers’ Government. During this month the Irish Revolutionary Workers’ Groups will con- vene a congress which will start to forge the weapon that will lead the working class and the oppressed peasantry to the destruction of the hydra-headed monster of British imperialism and Irish capitalism. That weapon is the Communist Party of Ireland. In the past weeks, the Irish capitalists, agents of British imperialism, have launched attacks against the revolutionary workers. Thugs of the Army Cossacks Association, the fascist bands of Cosgrave, to whom De Valera is supposedly opposed, have burned down the Connolly House in Dublin, Their efforts were aided, after an all-night resistance by 14 workers, by the Civil Guard, British-created police force of the ‘“anti- imperialist” De Valera government. Further attacks were made upon the Workers’ College and the na- tional headquarters of the Irish Unemployed Movement. ‘These attacks thus far have been beaten back by the Defense Corps of the Dublin workers, who lave sel an example of resistance whieh in heme an- plauded and followed in many parts of freiand’ ’ of the \ Dal Central 94 Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at New York, N. ¥., under the Act of March 8, 1878 —3 Org (Section of the Commurist Interia |Final Conference Sunday for Mamch to Wash- | ington, D.
