Patterson, na- tional secretary of the International | Labor Defense, said yesterday. “The decision is a complete repu- diation of Judge Horton’s own state- ment, made after the retrial of Hay- wood Patterson, that he was post- poning the retrials of the other boys beeause of remarks attributed to Attorney Samuel 8. Leibowitz, who defended Patterson. Exposes Frame-Up “It exposes the fact that the Ala- bama prosecutors of the boys simply ad no evidence to offer in theit| ttempt to send these boys to their léaths on framed-up charges, “The decision also is evidence of the splendid example of the courage of the white people in fighting on behalf of the boys as exemplified in the stand of Ruby Bates and Lester Carter, whose testimony laid the basis for the tremendous victory in Athens, as well as of the colored Workers who united with the whites | in the struggle and the world-wide | protesis. | Resuit of Protest “The tremendous mass protest de- veloped by the I. L. D. drew to the attention of Ruby Bates, formerly star witness of the prosecution, and Lester Carter the underlying issues of Negro national rights, including that of serving~on juries-and the abolishment of Jim-Crowism which were involved in the Scottsboro frameup.” Although hailing the decision as a ‘eat victory for the I. L. D. ané che mass protest movement initiated yy hundreds of thousands of persons hroughout the world, Patterson warned that only an even more pow- erful such moyement would finally attain the releate of all the boys. “This victory must also give greater support to the fight to free Tom Mooney,” he said, “who is an- other one of the victims of the ruling class frame-up.” | The I. L. D. secretary called for resolutions demanding the immediate dismissal of the cases, and safe re- lease for the nine Scottsboro boys, wires to be sent to Gov. B. M, Miller, Montgomery, Ala. He also called for the broadest united front for the lib- eration of the Scottsboro boys and Mooney, appealing to all workers, Negro and white, in trade unions, churches, as well as liberal and fra- ternal organizations. Funds ay’ urgently neéded, Pat- terson 9” ed, to catry on the fight tor svelease of the Scottsboro boys, pointing out that despite the decision of Judge Horton, many legal and other moves remain to be made efore the freedom of the boys is chieved. “We ask all workers and other sympathizers to help with immedi- ate contributions, so we can carry the fight to complete victory. These con- tributions should be sent to the Na- tional International Labor Defense headquarters, at 80 East 11th Street, New York City,” Patterson said.

The final results of the negotia- tions between the rail officials, the labor representatives and the coordi- nator on the issue of the 22 and a, half per cent wage cut proposed by the owners were announced today. With thé favorable decision of the labor officials the slash of 10 per cent in the basic wage scale continues for eight months after the next agree- ment expires November lst, that is for another year. This is even longer than originally proposed. In the face of rising living costs due to inflation this decision is an ever sharper blow to the railroad workers. The workers will be hog tied until February, 1934 at which time nego- tiations will again be opened, R. R. Workers Must Fight for Rigsht to Live. Eastman’s plan for a postpone- ment of the wage question is the same tnade by Hoover when the roads proposed a basic cut before the November elections. It is the line of Atterbury, in the speech re- cently made by him at Harvard, that the wage question must be taken out of the jurisdiction of the Railway Labor Act and placed under the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, because freight rates cannot be reduced (and so induce traffic in a depressed market) unless wages are | also reduced. This theory, that wages must de- pend on good business, plays dir- ectly into the wage cutting policies of the railroad executives. It as- sumes that if there are not enough profits for the railroad owners, then the railroad workers must starve! AS against this, the railroad workers maust demand that the first charge egainst the railroad industry, as against any industry, is that the liv- ing standards of its employes must be maintained. The right to live, must come before any other right. CHICAGO SHOW A FLOP CHICAGO, June 22.—The s50- called Century of Progress Exposi- tion is turning out to be a dismal affair. The attendance has never reached the figure of the Chicago “world’s fair” of 40 years ago, when this city was only an overgrown country town compared to the Chi- cago of today. In the seven days from Sunday, June 11, to the follow- ing Saturday only 606,464 persons paid admission to the show, while for the corresponding week 40 years ago the paid admissions were 732,149. The fair visitors are subjected to the worst kind of racketeering, having to pay exhorbitant prices for every- thing they get. The things to see are tawdry, cheap and of no scien- tific or educational value whatso- ever. : .TRY TO BLOCK REPEAL WASHINGTON, June 22—Altho staggered by the blow of losing the formerly dry state of Iowa by 2 to 1, making the fourteenth consecu- tive state to vote against prohibi- tion, the drys are now concentrating on 13 states in the hope of prevent- ing repeal of the Eighteenth Am- endment. If they lose any one of them the prohibition amendment will cease to be a law. They hope the July votes may turn the tide that has been running strongly against them. Alabama and Arkan- sas, two Southern states notoriously dry, are to vote July 18, and Ten- nessee, another traditionally dry State votes on the 20th, ‘Starlight Affair Sunday for Marine N.Y.

Grocery Store Strike NEW YORK.—A strike at the Dob- kins Fruit Store, 255 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn, was called to de- mand reduction of hours and in- crease in wages, The worker em- ployed here is compelled to work 102 hours a week, 7 days for $17 a week. ' Two grocery stores are on strike at 44 Hester Street, Manhattan, and 47 Sutter Ave. Brooklyn. The work- crs were locked-out when they re- fused to take a cut in wages. AFL.

He was taken out of a shop meeting whieh he was addressing. A number of scabs appeared at the office of the Joint Scab Council claiming that they are being thrown out of the places where they were sent to scab and that the manufac- turers are settling with the Industrial Union. At the same time they dis- closed the fact that although they were scabbing, they were underpaid and not even given the scale ‘of wages. . . At a meeting of the fur trade \board last night it was pointed out that a number of manufacturers are utilizing the present situation pre- yailing in the trade to violate their agreement with the union and not maintaining conditions. The trade board decided to take strict meas- utes and see that the agreement for a minimum wage scale, the 40-hour | 5-day week with no overtime, and unemployment insurance is being en- forced. A spécial committée was elected for this purpose and it was also decided, if necessary, to inérease the staff of organizers in order not to permit such violations.

After their expulsion Redler and| Gersch took the case to court, Re- Solutions of protest from the rank and file in many unions and the campaign against the District Coun- cil carried on by the rank and file painters’ locally exerted pressure in bringing about a favorable decision.

At the offices of the United Charities they were also refused any consideration. The committee in- formed the officials “we will remain here until relief is issued.” At five o’clock the officials called the police and 13 of the committee were ar-} rested.

A committee of the Steel and Metal Workers’ Industrial Union held a meeting with the workers. Learning of this, the superintendent an- nounced to the workers that the cut had been withdrawn. The action was due to fear on the part of the com-~- pany that the strike would spread and that the workers would turn the strike into a struggle for higher wages. ‘The Stee] and Metal Workers’ In- dustrial Union calis upon the work- ers to organize committees in every department elected by the workers and pledges its assistance to prepare a real united struggle for better con- ditions.
