The de-| Jegation appeared at a hearing be- fore Deputy NRA Administrator D. ‘A. Whiteside to oppose proposals to include some groups of sik and rayon worker under the cotton code, which provides $12 and $13 a week minimum wages. The workers who would be thus shifted now earn an average of $20.8 week. They learned at the hearing, through an announcement by Deputy Administrator Whiteside that Presi- dent Roosevelt during the week-end signed a silk code providing minimum wages of $12 and $13 a week for ‘workers in the North and South Yespectively. Burlak immediately an- nouficed “we'll protest against that too.” ‘The big strikers’ delegation, in- eluding representatives of the In- @ependent Silk Workers’ Union of Allentown, Pa.; about 200 of the ‘American Federation of Silk Work-| ers; and rank and filers from all sec- tions involved in the strike, including Scranton, North Carolina, and some| New England mills, were escorted by police on their march to the hearing | in the Commerce Department.

The three boys are Candelario Montava, 18; Joe Saiz, 19, and Roy , 18. Their frame-up rose directly of the struggles of the Spanish- speaking workers of Colorado in the heet-fields, and is part of the terror Offensive launched against tnem by ‘bosses. —Death The International Labor Defense, ‘waging a mass and legal campaign to pave them, proved that the three were tricked into signing “confes- ” to the murder of George Ar- 72-year-old farmer, a year ago last September 10, by being told that the papers put before them were “routine documents” required from all prisoners. The court records show that Oscar Arnold, son of the murdered man, and leader in the frame-up process, @ame back to the farm from Denver the day his father’s murder was dis- covered, told the three boys that 1 had happened” in the house before—he claimed—he entered it, and persuaded them to go in be- fore him in order to establish the frame-up through fingerprints. This done so crudely it failed com- to show any evidence of guilt ‘on the records, but the jury, picked from among the most reactionary 2 of the county, found the x guilty anyway. TLD. is holding ar eiern hey protest meetings against the refus of the Supereme Court to reverse the sentence, and has called on workers it the country to protest this vicious frame-up and demand the im- mediate release of the Brighton boys, from Governor Edward C, Johnson at Denver, Col.” _ Pacific Coast Farmers Join ‘The State Committee of the United Farmers League of Washington voted to ‘support the Anti-War Congress, farmers’ organizations continue ‘to elect and send off delegates to the opening session in New York on Sept. 29, Shoe Striker Badly Beaten on the Picket Line of Jacobs Co.

F. of L. and of our economic policies. For more than 20 years he served as Gen- eral Counsel of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers and affil- jated organizations. I feel sure we all feel a deep sense of loss over the passing such an outstanding | able champion of labor’s cause.” | And Chairman Green, from the | rostrum of the mirror-lined luxuri- | ous grand ballroom of the Willard Hotel, appointed a committee to “draw up a suitable resolution.” Barbusse in Talk With Daily’ Outlines Anti-War Tasks “What is the task of the American worker today, in the day-to-day | struggle against war?” a Daily Worker reporter, yesterday asked Henri Barbusse. | In closing the historic United States Congress Against War, the final words of the famous French writer and fighter against war had been: “Now your work begins.” The Daily Worker reporter there- fore asked Barbusse for a message to American workers on carrying on that work. “The will to unite against war which was manifested in this impos- ing conference was magnificent,” he answered. “And it is the experience of what was possible at this Congress which shows the way to carry for- | ward its work, Task Rests on Vanguard “The task of carrying on its work rests on the whole advance-guard of the working class, on those men and women who represent the aspirations of the workers. To me, of course, this means first of all the Communist Party. “But we have seen that among the masses of non-party workers, and among those who still follow the lead_ ership of the Socialist Party, there is a deep and real Socialist spirit. It is the task of all fighters against war to open the eyes of these great masses of serious and sincere workers to the misleadership of the reformist trade union and Socialist Party lead- ers. “We must make them see through the theories of compromise, of con- cesions to the capitalist class, of re- formism that are used to break the revolutionary will of the masses. “I had an experience early this year which ‘will be illuminating to those workers of real socialist spirit who still follow the Socialist Party leadership. Socialist Leaders Refuse Advances “On February 19 last, the leaders of the Second (Socialist and Labor) In- ternational issued a manifesto, call- ing for united action with the Third International. I knew Emile Vander- velde, Fritz Adler, Otto Bauer, as well as the leaders of the Communist In- ternational, and I took the initiative Party leaders. “I wrote to them, saying that I in- terpreted their manifesto as a deci- sion to stop their boycoutt of the Amsterdam Congress Against’ War, and I offered my services as inter- mediary if they wished to discuss a united front with the Third Interna- tional. “All the Socialists made excuses, and evaded the question. Vander- velde wrote that he was sick. and had to go to Morocco for his. health —in reality he went to receive a dec- oration from‘the Sultan of Morocco, Finally, Fritz Adler was delegated to write to me—but he never did. Must Open Eyes of Masses “We must let the masses know about these events, so contrary to the spirit of socialism. We must show the sincere socialists that we really wish to make a gentiine union against war—and that our advances meet only with hostility on the part of the Socialist leaders. “We must show every worker, farm- er, professional man and woman, in- tellectual, that if they agree to the program of the Amsterdam Congress, as did the Congress in New York, it is their moral duty to take a correct, precise attitude, not simply of hatred |neighborhood at 363.Sutter Ave., of communicating with the Socialist | City Events To All Party Members in the F.

Complete whitewash of all concerned in the lynching of Dan Pippen, Jr., and A. T.

Shamblin, Deputies Murray Pate, Harley W. Holoman,,and Private De- tective W. I. Huff, tn preparing and carrying out this lynching, was pre- sented to the Grand Jury by the In- ternational Labor Defense, the only reference made to these men by the Grand Jury in its report was to praise them for their actions. “We find no evidence to warrant any indictment,” the Grand Jury said, officially (they imagine) closing the matter. The special Grand Jury called to repeat the same process in the lynch- ing of Dennis Cross a week ago will meet next Monday. New facts in regard to this lynch- ing were disclosed today when it was revealed that Dennis Cross was 50 years old and a paralytic, who for twenty years had to have his wife dress and undress him, both arms and his left leg being completely useless. Police claim now he tried to “attack” a white woman, Crogs’s only “crime” was that he was the one remaining witness to the murder of a Negro in a store owned by a “Mr. Henton.” Two other witnesses were disposed of by being framed on charges of robbery. and sentenced to long prison terms, olute struggle against the basis of war wa the roots of capitalism it- self. “The United States Congress Against War has given imposing re- sults.

Warns Prison Authorities Are Trying To Kill Scottsboro Boys Innocent Lads Victimized, Denied Medical Aid; Robbed of Comforts Sent Them by Workers; Patterson in Solitary Confinement NEW YORK.—That the Scottsboro boys are being robbed by prison authorities of comforts sent them by workers, that Heywood Patterson has been held in solitary confinement for six days, and that all the boys need medical attention, which has been denied them, was the report received to- day by the national office of the International Labor Defense from workers 2 Flee Prison As Matthews’ Murder Protests Increase NEW YORK.—Two Negro prisoners risked their lives early yesterday morning in a sensational escape from Riker’s Island penitentiary. The men, John Allen, 23, and James Smith, 20, used a rowboat to row through a heavy fog to the Bronx or Long Island shores of the East River, after they had succeeded in cutting | their way through the bars in the windows of their cells. Allen was sentenced to the peni- tentiary on May 9 last, on a charge of grand larceny, and Smith, on December 22 last, on a charge of third degree burglary. Both were serving indeterminate sentences, Their escape makes a total of seven from city penal institutions in the last ten days, five prisoners having escaped from, the hell-hole of Wel- fare Island penitentiary, where James Matthews, Negro inmate, was brutally murdered six months ago by a guard, and the murder hushed up by Wel- fare Island and other Tammany of- ficials. The murder of Matthews and the suspicious deaths of other Negro and white prisoners were exposed by the Daily Worker. Mayor O’Brien and other Tammany officials are still blocking an investigation into these crimes, for fear of embarrassing Tam- many in the elections, Finds Resentment Is Widespread Against Blue Eagle in Phila. By a Worker Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—I work in a large printing house as a messenger boy and I am past 45 years of age. I was getting $10 a week. Now with NRA, the boss had to raise my wages, All the skilled help were unsatis- fied with their starvation wages and were talking about striking. The boss heard about it and the following morning when the men came to work their time cards were taken from the rack. The boss then called the men in one at a time so that he could find out exactly who were the militant workers and so keep the men from organizing for a strike. The boss then called me in and asked my grievances—especially after’ ‘I had given you a raise,” he said, I told him that I had to accept his wages, but not because I was satisfied, and if the men*went out on strike I would go with them, Whenever and wherever I meet workers the story is the same—that of revolt against the N.R.A. and the bosses. Keansburg Spends $4 a Month for Relief KEANSBURG, N. J., Oct. The borough council spent exactly four dollars for relief during Sep- tember. This information was given in a report by Mrs, Cather- ine Compton, oversear of the poor. against war in all countries, The population of Keansburg is 2,197 ® who succeeded in visiting the boys. Steps were immediately taken, William L. Patterson, national sec- retary of the LL.D., said, to force the warden of Jefferson County jail, to release Patterson from solitary con- finement, to stop the robbery of com- forts sent the boys, and to supply them with adequate medical treat- ment, A lawyer is being sent to Birming-| ham from New York immediately, to investigate and to take legal steps to back up these mass demands. A wire raising them has also been sent to the warden. “This is evidently an attempt on the part of the Alabama lynchers to kill the boys in jail,” Patterson said, “to prevent them from re- | gaining the freedom for which the masses of the world have fought, and which is now, on the basis of Judge Horton's decision, legally theirs.” At the same time, Patterson said, a letter/was received from Ned Good- win, Negro worker who is also held in Birmingham jail, in connection with the attack of police upon the May Day meeting there, in which he reports that he is constantly beaten, kicked, and maltreated by prison guards, Goodwin is so ill from the beatings that he was s¢arcely able to write the letter. He also is robbed of the comforts sent to him by workers from outside, and besides is allowed to receive no visitors, The TI. L. D. called on all workers throughout the country, on all I. L. D. branches, sections and districts, on every working class organization, and sympathetic individual, to flood the warden of Jefferson County Jail, Birmingham, Ala., with telegrams, letters and resolutions, raisig the de- mands of the I. L. D., and to write to the Scottsboro boys and to Ned Goodwin expressing their solidarity with them. Protests raising these demands, and demanding the immediate, un- conditional release of the Scottsboro boys, Willie Paterson, framed tuber- cular Negro war veteran, and Ned Goodwin, to Governor B. M. Miller, and Attorney-General Thomas E. Knight, at Montgomery. Demands for release of the boys should also be send to Judge James E. Horton, at Dacatur, Ala,, who has admitted their innocence but has so far refused to set a date for a hearing on a writ of -habeas corpus to force their release on bail which has been filed by I. L. D. attorneys. Pocket Book Union Cites Shop as Union, But Wages Are Same NEW YORK.—Although requested by éne of its workers to step in and organize the Stokowsky Bros. pocket- book shop at 541 Thatford Ave., Brooklyn, the International Pocket Book Workers Union has failed to send any one to the shop but has an- nounced that it is now a union shop in the columns of the Jewish Daily Forward, socialist,“ daily, In the September 11 issue of the Forward, in boosting the activity of the International Pocket Book Work- ers Union, the Stokowsky shop is cit- ed as one recently organized. Workers of the shop report that | propagandists entered the country TammanyBossTries | To Prevent Meeting Of Marine Workers NEW YORK, Oct. .—Joseph P. Ryan is apparently dictator to the Public School system of the City of New York, and a threat. of violence from Joseph P, Ryan is a law-abiding trick, to judge from the latest devel- opment in Mr. Shea’s Tammany rid- den jurisdiction. f. The Marine Workers Industrial Union had applied for and received permission to hold a meeting on the NRA in a public school in.the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. The School system took a six dollar pay- ment for janitor and other services in connection with the building. Today the schoo! authorities called up the union and informed them that the International Longshoremen’s As- sociation, of which Joseph P, Ryan is president and big boss, had warned them that the IL.A, would wreck oe place and the meeting if it were eld. Ryan is a big shot in Tammany Hall, so his warning was sufficient for the school board to cancel the meeting. The M.W.LU. asked the woman who called up if Ryan was running the School Board, and she evaded the question by saying they didn’t want riots. Asked who would cause the riot, she left it understood that the I.L.A. had made the threat. The M.W.LU. intends to hold a meeting in front of the school at the hour when the inside ‘meeting was scheduled, and if Ryan’s gang- sters start trouble, there will be plenty of it. Ryan may run the School system of New York, under Tammany, but he déesn’t run the waterfront as completely as he wants to, And his grip on the longshore- men is getting less, in spite of police cooperation with his thugs arid gun- men, A worker distributing leaflets for this meeting was grabbed by a gang in a touring car, and the leaflets taken away from him. It was a car used by LL.A. officials in Brooklyn. Protest Nazi Plots (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) | of the Communist Party, will be chairman. Interest in the protest demonstration is heightened by the transfer of the Leipzig frame-up trial to Berlin, where the defend- ants will be in serious danger of lynch attacks by Nazi storm-troop- ers, Discussing plans for a proposed investigation into Nazi spying in the United States, Congressman Dick- stein said, referring to the “Friends of New Germany”: “There is no doubt that such an organization is functioning here,” Dickstein told the Daily Worker. i:It is evident that many of these people entered he counry illegally, under some guise or other, in order to avoid the entanglements of the immigration authorities.” Enter As Consulate Attaches While Dickstein would not commit himself on this point, evidence exists that many of the Nazi spies and presumably as attaches to the various German consulates, but actually in order to operate as Nazi spies and propagandists. Samuel Untermyer, who was men- tioned twice in the letter sent by the chief of the “Friends of New Ger- many” to headquarters in Berlin, yesterday said that he would make a formal statement “within a day ro two.”. Immediately after the pub- lication of the Daily Worker expose, Untermyer said he would first have to satisty himself “personally as to the authenticity of the document.” Protests against murder plans of the Nazih in the U. 8, continued to come to the Daily Worker yester- day, Roger Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties Union de- clared that: — “The Daily Worker is to be com- mended for obtaining and pub- lishing the evidence of the lengths to which the Nazis will go on foreign soil in espionage and con- spiracies for cruelty and murder. It is a scathing commentary on American policy that such criminal conspiracies can be conducted on our soil without government inter- ference, while any alien may be Meported merely for joining the Communist Party. No better evid- ence of the class nature of our gov- erment is needed.” Over the signature of Ela Winter, its secretary, the American Commit- tee Against Fascist Oppression in Germany, issued the following state- ment:— “We have read with horror and amazement the Daily Worker expose of a letter written by W. Haag, Ad- Jutant to Heinz Spanknoebel, Na- tional leader of the “Friends of New Germany,” revealing the vicious ac- ivites carried on in the United States. “We view wih increasing alarm the spread of pernicious fascist pro- paganda in this country, and the o1 ganization of secret sccieties creat for the purpose of undermining and destroying liberal opinion, These or- danger. } “It is by publishing data revealing such activity that this evil can, in a measure, be ‘counteracted. We con- gratulate you on your alertness and courage in publishing this letter.” “Nation” Editor Dodges Ernest Gruening, one of the editors of the Nation, liberal weekly, clum- sily evaded a Daily Worker reporter who sought to get his opinion on the antoi-Nazi disclosures. The reporter had talked to Gruening’s secretary in the morning, and the latter had asked that the “Daily” call later in the day. When the reporter phoned the second time, the switchboard opera- tor informed her that Gruening’s wire was busy. The reporter waited and was switched onto Gruening’s extension: When the “liberal” editor realized that he was talking to a Daily Worker reporter, he immedia- tely switched the call onto his sec- “IT’S damn silly.

It ran here a few‘ days -ago under the title of “Pa Knick’s Stepchildren” and letters are still finding their way through our numerous outer offices. The problem is more pressing than I thought. I live. for many years in Yorkville, one of New York's most crowded sectors, and never .experi- enced difficulty. in finding play- grounds, This may be attributed to a peculiar brazenness in invading hostile territory or a failure to realize what was good for me. At any rate, T've neglected to devote sufficient at- tention to this condition. The problem, as a rule, is never terribly acute to children whose factulty for making the best of things apparently functions more effectively than ours. Inadequate athletic facil- ities seem to‘afflict adults to a con- siderably larger extent. Under the circumstances it is as much a question of inclinations as it is of facilities. Assuming a person could afford to join a “Y,” certainly a basketball game isn’t sufficient in- centive to dislodge one from an arm- chair after a day's work or an after- noon of pounding the pavements. Certainly the “Y” revival meetings are no added attraction. Let’s have more letters on this. Tel] about the situation in your own neighborhood, your own branch of sport. There are organizations with varioys degrees of experience in the field who could offer all sorts of advice on the subject. Entire municipal athletic fields have been taken over by workers’ elubs. Clubs have built swimming pools of their own. There will be a number of pieces on this in the near future, but let’s have those letters too. The Old Army Game By BEN FIELD ‘ORT HAMILTON overlooks the Narrows. Behind the fortifica- tions bristling with cannons stretches a “pleasant” green field flanked with aspen trees where polo matches are Played of a Sunday afternoon. At the entrance to the playing field soldiers in their best khaki with pip- ings that look like small hoses. A quarter admits you to the field, but you've got to stand. “We get score cards, Though the public is requested to keep off the polo field, we tramp across. We squat down on the grass in front of the ropes and white fences. The polo players on the home team, the First Division, are already out on the field. They whip their mailets around. They are a “brave sight” in their green jerseys and white caps. The horses have a peculiar jog. They trot about stiff-legged. It is more like a dance that they do. Their front legs from the hock almost up to their knees are in anklets. Their hocks are clean-shaven. They are not handsome horses. Some of them are ewe-necked. Their tails are braid- ed, twisted and look like rattails. But they can fly like swallows. As for the polo players, all we know is that they afe officers, ma- jors, lieutenants, lieutenant-col- onels. That stout playboy of the World-Telegram, Heywood Broun, - may poke fun at Newhouse for at- tempting to classangle sports. But his pope’s nose is in the way of his hen’s eyes. Of all sports here is the classiest of class sports. One of the boys who has come down to the game is a Univei sity of Arizona graduate. Now a bookisesper and a truckdriver in a large butcher shop, At the university the only boys on the polo team were the rich fellows. “It's hard on fellows of moderate means. It’s harder on the horses.” ND here on the grounds the com- mon soldiers sell the tickets. The orderlies trot the horses. They cover them with blankets. They help keep the flies off. “Back to the ropes, back to the ropes,” they cry. They get a top sergeant’ to help them. We squat in a row, however, like a group of solemn owls just hatched, and blink in the sun. It will take the whole army to dislodge us. It is almost four o'clock before the game starts. The band crashes into music, The two teams, Governors Island and First Division, trot up and salute the big shots in the re- served section. The umpire on a black horse throws out the ball, Sal- ter, Al, made in England. Governors Island is given a handicap of two points. It doesn’t take long before Cullins of the same team scores, The soldier at the goal post waves a red flag. A light. buds red next to the name of Cullins on the score board. When the ball is hit out, the soldier waves the flag low as if he were only dusting it. The umpire stands on the other side of the sideboards, the teams pivot around like basketball players. A horse gets the ball in the rump, Kiefer, the high scorer of the game, bends over the horse and takes @ beautiful crack at the ball. The ball flies ‘under a horse belly. Now they are all after it, The end of the first chukker, the visitors 4 and the home team. 0. ’ * Dini each chukker, horses are changed. Sweat makes them look as if they were soaped. And the men in the band play. First, it is “In the Valley of the Moon,” Then be- tween halves they cross the field over the horsedroppings, recross, the drum major with his shako like a bunch of cotton wadding, the big drum retary who informed the reporter a few moments later that Gruning “was out,” Help improye the Daily Worker, instead of its being a union shop it fs a real sweatshop, where the workers are employed seven days a week and’ send in your suggestions and criti- cism! Let us know what the workers in your shop think about the “Daily.” banging, the blaring of brass tubas, the small drum like a spool. They halt before the bandstand.

Fruit-dump- at.” This passage seems to have touched a painful spot, to coin the bone just a short time ago? At 5:15 the game is tied up in a knot, 7 to 7. The sun has disap- peared. With it the little flies that have been having their own game in the sun. A mist creeps in from the sea. And then suddenly a gun booms. The flag is being lowered. We all raise up as if we were greased jacks. The polo players cup up their hats over their hearts. Its the Star Span- gled Banner. A foul for Governors Island. The ball leaps between the goal posts. And the game is over. We go out with the notice in our hands: “Don't forget, folks—another tilt, Columbus Day between the two teams. Don’t miss it.” I’m afraid we shall.
