| Class Battles Now on,” Says Browder CLEVELAND, Ohio.—A stirring ovation was given Earl Browder, secretary of the Com munist Party, when he rose to speak toward the conclusion of the United Action Conference I held here August 26-27. Browder dealt with the role of Com- ference we have not been able to achieve a united point of view.

What is the meaning of this wave of terror? This wave of lynch orgies is for the purpose of crushing the rising resistance of the Negro toilers and white toilers to the Roosevelt New Deal—the hated National In- dustrial (Slavery) Act ~~ and the it program of plowing under economic crisis takes on -its test and most aggravated form in the South, developing on the basis of a chronic agrarian crisis, resulting m a breakdown of agricultural eco- al } Joan’ was refused, the State being con- sidered a bad risk. The result is that the whole economic situation grows more acute for the Southern rulers. ‘The ruling classes of Alabama and the entire South have’ turned to the National Industrial Act for a way out -of the crisis, by loading the burden of the crisis-on the banks of *the masses. But it is the Negroes, as the weakest section of the toilers—those with the least rights—who are forced to-bear the main brunt of the crisis and the attacks of the rulers, The cotton plow-under program, which is a complete and legalized swindling of the renters, croppers and small farmers, is part of the way out for the landlords. The NRA, with its ‘wage differentials between North and South, between white and Negro labor, with its speed-up and stagger- plat, is looked to by the industrialists to-protect them from the ravages of thé-xerisis, The NRA codes ignore tacular attacks upon the Negroes, Formation of NRA vigilante com- mittees is advocated by thé press. In the Carolinas already, the Ku Klux Klan has been re-organized openly to enforce the plow-under program, In the steel mills and mines, so far, only the intervention of the American Federation of Labor has prevented the widest outbreaks of strikes against the New Deal program, However, the workers are not wait- ing for the codes as patiently as was expected. ‘Even now, strikes are Spreading in the coal and steel fields. On the basis of the NRA prosperity ballyhoo, the Red Cross, R.F.C., and other relief agencies are cutting thou- sands of workers off from .all relief.

The prestige of the slave-drivers is being undermined. The Tuscaloosa and Decatur lynch- ings on the eye of the now Scotts- boro trials, are part of the prepara- tions for the murder of the Scotts- boro boys, Hence the sharpened and desperate attacks upon the Commu- nist Party and the International Labor Defense, to behead the revolutionary moyement of the Negro and white masses, to remove these obstacles from the path of the lynchers.
