Call for Acti BY WELL-ORGANIZED GROUP, LL.D. ATTORNEY REVEALS Allen Taub, in Interview, Describes Events That ~ Led to the Lynching of Framed Negro Lads NEW YORK, Aug. 14—The story of the events leading up to the brutal lynching of Dan Pippin, Jr. and A. spectively, by a group of Tuscaloosa, T. Hardin, 18 and 16 years old re- Ala., “solid citiz: ,» was told today by Allen Taub, one of the lawyers forced from the murdered boys’ defense by the local lynch court. Taub told the story to a Daily Worker reporter—a story which proves that the lynching wa: not by a “frenzied mob,” but by a well-organized group intent on the boys’ death. “The announcement of the I. L. D. that it would enter the case of Pip- pen, aroused furious hostility among the ruling whites,” Taub declared. “They terrorized the local Negroes; they called mass meetings of leading Negroes of Tuscaloosa and demanded that they pass resolutions against the I.L.

Armed Guards At Court | “We arrived at the Tuscaloosa / courthouse on the morning of the} trial, Aug. 2, at 9 o'clock. There was an immense crowd in front of the courthouse, and the corridors were jammed. “Inside the building, barricading the entrance to the stairway, was a| high wooden fence. Guarding this| entrance were armed deputies. | “When we entered the courtroom, | we found every seat taken. Many of the leaders of Alabama's ruling class were there, among them William Brandon, formerly governor of Ala- bama.

Students Send Scottsboro Protests NEW YORK.—Five hundred Ne- gro and white students assembled at a symposium at McMillen Thea- tre, Columbia University, after hear- ing William L. Patterson, Executive Secretary of the International Labor Defense speak on the Scottsboro case and the role of the ILD, passed a resolution to send protest tele- grams to Governor Miller of Ala- bama and to President Roosevelt to demand the immediate release of the Scottsboro boys. The symposium, on the theme of h Way Out for the Negro— Revolution or Legalism?” was con- ducted by the World Problems Club as part of their campaign to fight the proved discrimination against Negro students on the part of the Columbia administration. Patterson gave a brief account of the revolutionary history of the N gro people and showed concrete! how effective was mass protest in the Scottsboro and other cases. Patterson in the discussion period | effectively refuted the plea of Wibe-! can of the Elks to let the law take its course, Milton Howard spoke for the Communist Party, giving an an- alysis of the position of the Ne- groes as an oppressed nationality in America. He showed how cap- italism subjected the Negroes to special exploitation to wring su- per-profits from tnem. i He pointed out that the solution to the problems of Negro and white workers lay in the destruc- tion of capitalism. He also pointed out that the Communist Party is the only Par- ty that fights for social equality and all democratic rights for the Negroes. As a first step in this fight they struggle for self-de- termination for the Black Belt.

City Hospital Jumps 500 Per Cent NEW YORK, Aug. 14—Because of the disastrous effects of the crisis, the Beekman Street Hospital, lo- cated near the tenement sections of the lower East Side, is receiving | over 500 per cent more patients than before the crisis. The presi- | dent of the hospital, Howard Cull- | man, said “The number of unem- ployed patients has been steadily | on the increase.” The enormous increase in the number of patients has strained the capacity of the hospital to the utmost, so that the character of the treatment handed out has suf- fered greatly. |Milk Drivers Discuss | Strike; Officials Try to Halt Them NEW YORK.—Milk drivers of Lo- cal No. 584, objecting to being clas- sified as “salesmen” in the NRA code drawn by the big distributors, discussed a strike call yesterday for more wages and less hours.

In Havana, Colonel Manuel Rodri- guez Batista, chief of the palace Porra, was chased over rooftops by infuriated men and women, and finally killed by soldiers and marines. Four other important Porristas were cornered in police headquarters, handed a revolver and ordered to kill themselves in half'an hour. The crowd was finally dispersed when the chief of police appeared and an- nounted that they were prisoners and not refugees. ‘The Havana newspapers estimate that at least 350 persons have met the vengeance of the revolutionists and been killed, and~ that the wounded number at least 750. Terrorist Bourgeois in Cabinet. In the Cespedes’ new cabinet are four A. B. C. members, Carlos Sala- drigas, minister of justice; Joaquin Saenz, treasurer; Eduardo Chibas, minister of public works, and Guil- lermo Belo, minister of education. Laredo Bru, secretary of the*interior and acting secretary of state, is a member of the nationalist party, of which the A.B.C. was the illegal ter- roristic wing.

C. and calling on them to fraternize with The strikers and Peasants, and to refuse to obey if they were called on to attack dem- onstrations. In this manifesto the Communist Party brought forward a series of special demands of the Cuban sol- diers and marines, against the harsh barracks regime, for an eight-hour | day, against the compulsory saluting | of superiors, against the special hu- miliations and oppression to which | the privates are subjected, and/ against the punishment of soldiers | who refused to become instruments of the government and of the mur- derous exploiters. Frame Makers and Upholsterers in Third Week of Strike NEW YORK.— The parlor frame makers and the upholsterers are en- tering the third week of their strike full of determination to carry their fight to fin@l victory under the lead~ ership of the Furniture Workers In- A large number of upholsterers on strike are members of local 76 of the A. F. of L, and these are fraternizing with the work- ers of the Industrial Union. The AFL. officials are attempt- ing to arbitrate the strike. Mem- bers of local 76 should be on guard to prevent a shameful compromise by their officialdom. The workers are urged to elect a rank and file com- mittee to be present at the coming] negotiations, The Progressive Table Co. has ap- plied for an injunction against the Industrial Union in an attempt to bring the workers back to work un- der the old conditions of long hours and starvation wages which existed in the shop before the strike, The Industrial Union has estab- lished kitchens for the strikers. Hun- dreds of workers, including A. F. of L. members, are fed daily at these kitchens, and in many cases food is sent to the strikers’ families, All sympathizers are requested to bring what they can for the upkeep of these kitchens, to the Industrial Un- jon, 618 Broadway, New York City, cents during the last few months, according to the report just made public by the Goyernment Farm Ad- justment Administration. Milk Costs More In Chicago the application of the NRA code to the milk situation has resulted in the raising of the cost of milk and the elimination of the small independent milk producers, it was revealed today in the statements of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Wallace issued an order placing all milk distributors under a licensing system. No license will be issued to any distributor who will sell milk at less than 10 cents a quart. Helps Big Companies This puts an end to the selling of milk at from 6% cents to 7 or 8 cents in the stores. The action of Wallace is already causing great hardship among the working class sections of the,city where the sélling of milk at less than the monopoly prices of the big companies was widespread. ‘Wallace's action also has the effect | of cutting out of business the small dairy farmers near the city, and practically guarantesing the big Bor- den and Bowman monopolies the continuation of their enormous mon- opoly profits. Thugs AttackWorkers Protesting Local 24 Millinery Officials NEW YORK.—Gangsters, led by the A, F. L. chairman, Mendalo- witz, attacked several. workers at a meeting of several hundred millinery workers who crowded Bryant Hall on Thursday to protest the administra- tion of A. F. of L. Local 24. The workers also demanded a dis- cussion on Zaritzky’s report to the NRA. Despite the thug attack the work- ers decided that no gangster methods employed by Zaritzky and his fol- lowers will stop the millinery workers in their struggle for better conditions. Louis Weinstock, secretary of the A. F. of L. Committee for Unem- ployment Insurance, spoke, of the In- | dustrial Recovery Act and pointed | out that despite the fact that the NIRA on the face of it seems to favor the workers, we can only gain | better conditions through struggle. After his speech two delegates were elected to the conference in Cleve- land, against the NIRA, which will be held the 26th and 27th of August. ‘The meeting in Bryant Hall Aug. 10th unanimously adopted a resolu- tion condemning the administration for the brutal attack on the mem- bers of the union, Red Press Bazaar To Open October 6 NEW YORK—A call to the Con- ference, August 17, for the Daily Worker, Morning Freiheit and Young Worker Bazaar in Madison Square Garden, October 6, 7, and 8, was is- sued yesterday. “The greatest affair; the call reads, which is being ‘arranged this year for the revolutionary press is without doubt the yearly bazaar which takes place for the first time this year in the main hall of Madison Square Garden.

New York Farm Leader Breaks the Milk Strike | Woodhead 1 Puts Farm- ers at Mercy of Leh- _man and Milk Board ALBANY, Aug. 14.—How much can be expected from Gov. Leb- man in the “truce” of the milk was made plain today when biunt'y announced” that he would not, uffder any cireumsian- ces, talk to a group of 1,000 farm- | ers who plan to visit him at the Capitol. Lehman has repeatedly expressed his support of the State Milk Board. whose policies have caused the farmers so much suf- fering. strike, ALBANY, Aug. 14.—Of the two jleading groups in the New York | milk strike, one group led by Albert Woodhead, ex-detective from Roch: ester, has openly betrayed the strike, and the other group, led‘by Stanley |Lehman into calling a “temporary” true: ite these ,actions, however, many sections of the farmers are still withholding their milk from the market. These farmers, particular- ly those with smaller farms, have been taught by their experiences with the Legislature, the State Milk Board and with Governor Lehman, that the “temporary” arbitration proccedings of Piseck, however well meant, will only strengthen the big companies and disorganize the farm- ers’ struggle against them. Woodhead Depends on Milk Board Woodhead sent a telegram to Leh- man telling him that he had called off the strike, denouncing the “truce” which Piseck had declared. Wood- head’s betrayal had been signalled almost a week ago when he began to urge the farm pickets to stop their voad picketing and “violence.” Wood- head was dropped from the Roches- ter police force because of his im- plication in a shady case of arson involving insurance’ payments. He has led the farmers in strikes both for and against the State Milk Board, always calling the strikes off at the crucial moment. In his statement calling off the strike, he declared that he was will- ing to place the case of the striking farmers in the hands of the Milk Board, the very group that is re- sponsible for the farmers’ present sufferings. Lehman Coached by Roosevelt Piseck seems to have been tricked by the promises of Lehman for a hearing of the farmers’ demands if the strike was called off. Lehman made this promise after a confer- ence with Roosevelt. Piseck, however, has refused to promise that he wiil not call an- other strike if the demands are not heard soon, nN City Workers Sympathetic _ The strike created the most wide- spread sympathy among the workers and small business men of the near- by cities and towns. The picketing of the farmers was notable for its heroic reply to the attacks of the State Troopers and police who as- saulted the pickets with clubs and tear gas bombs. The farmers are getting four cents and less for milk which the big milk monopolies, Borden and Sheffield, controlled by Wall Street banks, sell in the cities for 12 and 14 cents.

By EDWARD NEWHOUSE It happened for the first time when {the Yanks went to Sportsman's Park lin Si. Louis for the final gama of (the 1928 World Sezies. Heciled-by {Cardinal players, Ruth strode to the plate in one of the early innings and {raised three pudgy fingers to indi- jecate the number of home runs he ; would hit in the course of the day. In a later inning, after his third) four-base hit had streaked into the roaring center field. Lou Gehrig came to bat and hit the first pitched ball into the right field bleacher. Then the third game of last year’s | serios against the Cubs. Again Ruth raised his hand, this time with the |index~ finger stretched toward the distant center field. Cub players streamed out of the dugout in a body to jeer, Ruth called his shot and} made it. Not a spectator but con- cades it was the big baseball moment of his life. Lou Gehrig came to bat and hit the first pitched ball into the right field bleacher. Ever since Gehrig started his con- tinuous game streak in 1925, he has been the “Crown-prince,” the second fiddle, the anti-climax. He has con- sistently topped Ruth in most every important department. He has led the league in batting, number of hits made and runs batted in. He has. polished up his work around first base until he became more than a competent fielder. But sports writers declared he had no color: and the déadly accusation stuck, Twenty-dollar-a-week clerks and starving taxi drivers wagged their heads at the spectacle of poor eclipsed Lou and his annual $25,000 pittance. Now, with Ruth’s perceptible if in- termittent fading, the first baseman is coming into his own. Suddenly publicity men, baliyhooers, sport writers whose bread and butter it is to create mythical figures, come to a realization of his sterling qualities. Gehrig is self-effacing, Gehrig loves his mother, Gehrig doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t stay out nights. Gehrig, -the college football player, Gehrig who worked his way up, Gehrig the massive, the righteous Rock of Gibraltar. Lou Gehrig is about to snap the record for continuous games played. Everett Scott has been invited to see his record fall, a good gag, good for boxes and even feature stories in local sheets. The Yanks are tired and patently slumping, but the merry music of the turnstiles continues. While Carl Hubbell stages a 17-in- ning shutout performance in the lit- eral solitude of the Polo Grounds, 45,000 come to the Stadium during a Washington game. * Lou himself is slumping. His field- ing is spottier than ever before and his batting average is hovering dan- gerously near the 300 mark. Lou of the .343 life-time average is being outhit by both Chapman and Dickey. Mother's boy is riding a tidal wave of publicity. Even his own hitherto stolid soul has been seized by the creative urge which so often assails prominent athletes. “He unburdens himself in Mr, Bernarr MacFadden’s “Liberty” with a piece tagged “Am I Jealous of Babe Ruth?” Jake Ruppert’s fair-haired boy | bears no ill-will, it develops, It’s all for the team. He proposes to live out his hero's lease on a depression basis, sans Ruth's lavish display. He speaks winged words, haunting, pos- sibly because of the ghost they bring to mind: “T'm not rich in the accepted sense of the word, but what millionaire can Worker Shows Hunger in New York Hospitals Reveals How Social Service Department Acts: As Spy Against Foreign-Born ; BY A WORKER CORRESPONDENT. m NEW.
