Sees Attempt to Railroad Boys in New Trial Order NEW YORK, July 27—In order- ing Heywood Patterson to a fourth lynch-trial in October, Judge James E. Horton is attempting to prevent the release of the nine innocent Scottsboro Negro boys on bail. This was the charge made by the I. L. D. today when it revealed that previous to Horton's Florida vaca- tion General George W. Chamiee, I. L. D. attorney in Chattanooga, left with him the habeas corpus {writs demanding that bail be set,| with the understanding that he would set a date for hearing Instead of setting a day for the hearing to set bail, which under Ala- bama law he is boys following hi evidence preponderates in their favor, Judge Horton is attempting to rail- road the boys to a new lynch trial Must Revive Protests Pointing out that it was only mass pressure which forced Horton to grant Heywood Patterson a new William L.

Gusev, old Bol- shevik leader, a meeting of function- aries of the Communist Party in Hamtramck, Michigan adopted a res- olution which was sent ot the Com- munist International in Moscow. “We feel Comrade Gusev’s death be a great loss to the revolu- tionary movement internationally,” states the resolutioy. “Especially we workers and Communist Party mem- bers feel the loss because comrade Gusev was much interested in the re- volutionary movement in the United States. One of our members recalls a conversation with Comrade Gusev some years ago. At the time he ex- pressed himself that probably the first Communist administration in the United States will be elected in Hamtramck.” The Communist Party members feel proud of this recogni- tion of their activity. Increase Efforts “We pledge to carry “on organiza- tional activity and education among the workers. In the election which is to take place in March and April, 1934, we will through our daily activity give our efforts to see that the wishes of Comrade Gusev to elect Commu- nists become a reality.” The resolution concludes by empha- sizing “tasks set before us by Com- rade Gusev in an article, printed in the Communist International on de- veloping a united siruggle of all work- ers for social insurance, especially for unemployment insurance. We will lead the masses in the struggle for the defense of the Soviet Union; against imperialist war; for the over- throw of the capitalist system and the establishment of a workers and farmers government in this country.” he | ‘Front Doors Are Two. | Fleet from Filthy Toilets (By a Worker Correspondent) PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Philadel- phia is called the city of “Brotherly | Love,” but we find that names don’t | mean anything as far as the workers are concerned. It is the city of| “Homes and Mortgages.” The work- | ers live in shacks, and are faced with evictions and starvation. | I investigated Vah Horn St. Court and found discrimination and starva- tion prevailing. First I saw a narrow! alley called “entrance,” the front) doors opening direct to the toilets | two feet apart, flies racing back and forth. | Frank Thomas, living with his family in their triple-deck shack, told a story of how the COHarity racketeers called the Welfare Bu- reau, cut off his family’s miserable | relief allowance, because a jealous neighbor informed the Bureau that | he drank whiskey which he pur- | chased with his food order. | But. when he took the investigator to the store where he received his crumbs for, food order, the shop- keeper verified that he received food | and not rum. This carried no weight with the racketeers, so his family of | small children starve, Next door to Frank Thomas who | lives at 116 Van Horn, rear, two| women past 70 years of age, told! their tale of discrimination, Mrs. Garwig, who has been a widow a number of years, and unemployed three years, applied for food at the relief board.

Also Annie Anthony, who is disabled and lives in the same shack, never received a crumb. Just misery and slow death awaits these old workers, and in the richest coun- try too. But when the vast nurhber of | workers realize that capitalism with | its false promises and Raw Deals has nothing to offer them but fur- ther misery, then and only then can we live like human beings.

Letters from | Organize Our Meetings July %, 1933 | Editor, Daily Worker Comrade: The very poor attendance at the | Memorial meeting held yesterday at | the New Star Casino, under the aus- | pices of the Party in honor of Gussev, | Zetkin and Stokes, should serve to | teach a very much needed lesson. We | must learn that we must not depend | on spontaneous action on the part of Party members and sympathizers, but that all mass demonstrations must be organized thoroughly or they are doomed to failure. The hall should have been packed jon this occasion when the memory |of three departed Bolsheviks was being honored and what is more, when these represent the three most important sections of the Comintern, and especially now when the sharp- ening of the class struggle in this | country makes it imperative to utilize just such occasions to stir up the courage and the fighting spirit that thesz three fallen comrades personi- fied in their lives. Why did the masses fail to respond? Because they were not mobilized Notices in the Daily Worker are nol sufficient. To receive mass response, more than an announcement is needed. And I consider it my duty to suggest a method which I believe when properly applied will bring re- sults. The district should announce quotas of minimum representation from party units, sections and all or- ganizations close to the Party, when- ever mass mobilization is considered necessary, The fractions in unions, shops, clubs and other organizations should responsible for bringing out the allotted quota. Of course there will be no objection if more respond than called for. If this system is deyeloped, it will be possible to plan properly because fairly approximate Our Readers figures will then be available. I sincerely recommend this sug- gestion for consideration to the Party. A.W. N. Y. City.

LaGuardia is | offered the candidacy for president |of the Board of Alderman. This whole crew of politicians are bargaining for a division of spoils by wresting the administration from the Tammany machine so that they | will do the oppréssing of the work- jers and reap the graft. General O’Ryan is a democrat high in Tammany circles an out- standing jingoist. All of the fesionists are the most outstanding labor haters in the republicen and demo- cratic parties, They are headed by Charles Whitman, former governor and active in breaking strikes during his own administration. Samuel Seabury in a statement yesterday said: “Some of these Republican ma- chine leaders for whem Governor Whitman speaks and whose will he is registering are, and have long been, the owned and operated chat- tels of Tammany Hall.” Yet Seabury will give his approval to the ticket he: by O'Ryan and supported by Whitman. City Persecutes Militant Worker Tammany Blamed for Death of Baby NEW ‘YORK.—The demand for immediate relief and housing for himself and his family, and the dis- missal of the framed charges of “at- tempted assault” made against him when he resisted eviction, made to the “Relief” authorities by William Bryan. an unemployed worker, of 1473 East New York Avenue. The Brownsville Yeon rags tg cil has made his letter public.

I was in the hos- pital for four months and am still getting treatment from a docter. “In April, 1982, my family was evicted from our apartment at 548 Rockaway Avenue beeause the land- lord refused to accept the rent check Assued by the Home Relief Bureau. “Im the face of the desperate con- dition of my family I resistéd the eviction, was arrested and ingtead | of being given rent and relief for my familv was charged with “attempt- | ed felonious asgault.” My case comes | up for trial on the morning of August 8th, in the Court of Special Sessions, Smith & Schermerhorn Strs. “IT am again being faced with evic- tion because the H, R.
