The news of the new trial for Hay- wood Paterson, one of the fine iyamed on a rape charge, stirted the marchers and those on the sidelines to great enthusiasm for the Inter- national Labor Defense. Four different street meétings were held. Speakers at the main meeting were Otto Hall of the Communist Party, William Fitagerald, of the Harlem Branch of the International Labor Defense, Griffin and Thomson of other LL.D, branches, and Spen- r, of the Young Communist League.

Herndon, the bosses maintain, is a} dangerous criminal. He is, they in-| sist, not at all the quiet, studious boy | who sits talking with the interviewer in Fulton Tower. He is not the jemaciated, tired, obviously worn) youth who shows the strain of un-| healthy diet and foul air. He is not/ a vietim of a dilapidated plumbing| system which continually allows ex- crement to dribble in slugging rivu- lets across the floor of cells, the “law” would have you believe. “What is happening in the labor ‘movement? Are there new deyelop- ments in the relief situation? How is the Scottsboro ¢asé coming on? | What are the German workers doing to fight Fascism in Germany? What will be the next step in the Mooney ;case? Have more Negfo farmers been murdered?” These aré the questions which |Herndon asks. These things make up his life today, just as they did a year ago, when he committed the “crime” of being a Negro worker who understood the need of militant action to force the bosses to con- tinue giving something for the relief of the unemployed white and Negro workers. Because he was these things, he led an unemployed dem- onstration. And, because he led an orderly demonstration which broke no law, though it did break the tra- ‘dition of racial hatred established by the white bosses, he has been sent {into the living death of Fulton Tower. Looks Toward Future Today Angelo Herndon looks to- ward the future. The state of Geor- gia maintains he is @ desperate; chatacter, not fit to be allowed his liberty on bail. This attitude does hot surprise the man Angelo Hern- don. Not dogs it surprise those who are familiar with the case. They {know, as he knows, that Eugene Talmage, John Boykin and the ‘rest of the official gang responsible for the continued martyrdom of Hern- don, are hiding behind the flimsiest of legalistic technicalities when they deny him freedom on bail. They | the ‘Herndon in Prison Has Faith Workers Will Set Him Free Negro Youth Suffering As Result of Bad Food; Asks Workers to Send Him Books to Read ereased protests and stronger de- mands on the part of the masses of workers will enforce his right to bail while the case is being fought. They question, as he questions, the con- tinued illness of the judge which has repeatedly postponéd court action looking towards a new trial. “Well,” says Herndon, as his vis- itor turns to go, “I kitow I'm com- ing out. I know the things the law is doing to me tight now make that certain. You see, the workers of Georgia, both white and Negro, won't stand for this sort of thing. They know what I actually did. They know their own hunger and misery, They know my case and their own cases are all a part of the big fight for food ahd shélter for the starving workers who pro- duce all food and shéiter. Through their organization and their pro- test, both white and Negro, em- ployed and unemployed, they will better theif own conditions and they will free me.” There is conviction in the quiet tone of the young than. His slender shoulders, bowed by years of hard labor in a coal mine when he was a mere child, straighten. “No,” he says, “the workers won’t forget me. Goodbye. And tell them to keep fighting.” He calls after the visitor: “Say, Send me some books if you can. Be sure to remember the pamphlets. I want to know what is happening in the fight outside while the bosses have me cooped up here.” The grated door swings shut. Out- side is streaming the free Georgia sun. Inside, behing his thick glasses, Angelo Herndon is following the fight for food which he has led and will lead again. Workers Called to Aid And as the fight is watched from within the walls of Fulton Tower, International Labor Defense, leading the struggle from without, calls on all workers to take an ac- tive part by flooding the office of Solicitor John Hudson, Atlanta, with telegrams, lettérs ahd resolutions of protest against the confinement of Herndon. Funds for the case are urgently heeded and contributions, addressed to Room 210, 141% Auburn Ave., At- Janta, or the national officé of the International Labor Defense, 80 E, lith St., New York City, from work- ers all over the land, will show clearly that those outside are earry- ing on the fight being so closely fol- lowed from within the prison walls. know, as he knows, that only in- 4 4 , RED PRESS Y 15T e+e CARNIVAL the deficit of $8,000 which the past campaigns conducted in New York have entailed, has arranged a lecture for this Friday, June 23, the pro- ceeds of which will go to the Com-| munist Party.
