ee Page Two Negro Scottsboro Witness Dies of E. L. Lewis, Negro, Was Threatened By Ku Klux Klan Home Burned Down After He Testified at Decatur “Trial” OHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Oct. 18, — B L. Lewis, Negro defense witness in the Scottsboro trial, died yesterday of poisoning. aS An investigation is being conducted into his death by the International Labor Defense. The circumstances around the sudden death by poison- ing of this important Scottsboro de- fense witness, who has been threat- ened with death by the Ku Klux Klan, indicate that he was done away with in preparation for the new Scottshoro lynch trials. Lewis’ testimony at Decatur last April, that he saw Victoria Price and Ruby Bates in company with Lester Carter and Orville Gilley in the jungle at Chattanooga the day before the train-ride from which followed the arrest and frame-up of the nine Scottsboro boys, was very important in breaking down the perjured testi- mony of Victoria Price. While he was in Decatur waiting for the trial of Charlie Weems, which was to follow that of Heywood Pat- terson, bet which was indefinitely postponed, his home in Chatta- nooga was burned down by in- cendiaries. Twice since then his life has been threatened by Ku Klux Klansmen and emissaries of Attorney-General Thomas E, Knight of Alabama and ex-Senator Thomas J. Heflin. Each time he succeeded in escaping from them. He had declared his willing- ness to brave the terror of the white Jandlord Kians of Northern Alabama to return at any time to repeat his testimony. A demand is being raised by the International Labor Defense for an open, public investigation of the death of L » Which is seen as a development of the campaign of ter- ror and intimidation against the Negro witnesses in the Scottsboro case. This demand, it was pointed out, must be supported from every part of the country, by every sympathetic in- dividual and organization, in letters, resolutions, and telegrams to the mayor of Chattanooga.

The Communist Election Campaign Committee, 799 Broadway, wishes to| inform workers that there is no need for a permit for street meetings. “It is unquestionably settled that in the City of New York, no permit to hold a street meeting is required. The only time that permission to hold a street meeting in this city is necessary is when the meeting is 4 religious meeting,” stated the Com- mittee. “This matter has been passed upon ‘ically by the highest court in state, the Court of Appeals, in the case of PEOPLE v. SMITH, 259 N. Y. page 48, where the Court of Appeals laid down the law as above stated. “The procedure now followed of calling the police station and inform- ing ti of the fact that a meeting will be held, is done only for the urpose of obtaining police protec- for the meeting against hood- lums and from interference by out- side elements, It is not even neces- sary that the police station be in- formed by telephone of the street meeting, but as a matter of policy, it is good to do so.” ' The bosses don’t support the Daily Worker.

NEW YORK.—Many workers are| F ur Code DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1933 Hearings Bare Secret Deals of AFL and Fur Bosses | WASHINGTON, D. C,, Oct. 18.—Irving Potash and A. Winogradsky, rep- | | resenting the fur workers of the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union, | | had their inning at the N.R.A, hearings on the fur code in Washington yesterday, when they compelled the N.K.A, administrator, Worthy and the fur manufacturers to recognize them as the only spokesmen of the worke’ weree- The union representatives not invited to the preliminary hear- | | ings on the fur code, but they de-j manded the right to be heard in the | name of nearly 13,000 fur workers} enrolled as members in local unions | in the, largest cities in the country. | When they showed proof of con-; | tractual relations with 1,100 firms! and support of the majority of the} | fur workers in the country, their} | right to speak for the fur workers} was admitted even by Filmore, at- torney of the Associated Fur Manu- facturers, The International Fur Workers was represented by Mandel, a St. Paul attorney, who was quickly dis- | credited by the Industrial. Union re- | presentatives when he was unable to provide any proof of his claim that he represented “15,000 fur workers.” The meeting revealed many secret | Maneuvers between the bosses and | the A. F. of L. union to betray the| fur workers. When Filmore proposed that a 40-hour week be written into | the code, the lies spread by the In- ternational Fur Workers several weeks ago in New York that they| had “won” the 35-hour week with the “generosity” of the employers were fully exposed. The 40-hour week proposal of the | fur manufacturers blasted this fake | statement of the International com- pletely. The Associated had no in- tention of providing a 35-hour week; it merely was aiding the A. F. of L. | to smash the fur workers’ union. | A treacherous secret agreement | | signed by the International and the | fur bosses in Chicago which provides | a 44-hour week and wage scales which are $10 lower than the New York scales was also revealed at the hearing. | | Mandel pleaded ignorance when | | pressed about this betrayal. It was | clear that the agreement was signed | | Secretly without the knowledge of the | workers. The fur bosses declared | | that the “gentlemen of the Inter- | | national were considerate of their} | plight.” In St. Paul, an agreement | was signed proving to be even worse, with scales for cutters as low as $26.50, while the union scale in New York is $50.60, and other wages $15 below the minimum scales in New| York. Mandel was silent. in the face of this exposure. Potash and Winogradsky attacked | the Chicago and St. Paul agreements | and declared that the union would never stand for a differential in wage scales for workers outside of New York. “These agreements will not be recognized by the workers or the| Union,” they declared. They stated | strikes are being waged against them | and will continue until the New York | scale is established. | Other important issues raised in| the hearings were the proposals of the retail employers to establish a 40-cent hourly wage rate for work- ers and that of the representatives of the department stores who de- |manded exclusion from the code of | all fur workers employed in the fur | departments of their stores. They | demanded a 44-hour week and wages | far below union scales, | Both Potash and Winogradsky de- |clared that the union recognized no | divisions among the workers in the | trade Both representatives went on rec- ord squarely for a 30-hour week de- | claring that at best with union wages |the fur worker is able to earn only | $700 a year due to the short seasons and that the 35-hour week has failed to provide sufficient jobs for the thou- | sands of unemployed. So challenging were the union} representatives that the bosses, Man- | }del and the administrator were placed in the position of being unable | to contractict their statements. The administrator then declared that the | hearing was called for information only and hastily adjourned the ses- sions. | At the same time in New York the furriers held a huge mass meeting to mobilize for a struggle to establish |the 30-hour week in the trade in | slack time. Plans were mapped for | the campaign and in preparation for | the coming expiration of the agree- | ment. The fur workers approved the shop | conference of the Needle Trades In- dustrial Union to be held at Cooper Union on Oct, 21, The meeting endorsed the election campaign of the Communist Party. | Among those who spoke in behalf of | the Communist Party candidates was Apochinsky, former right winger and now loyal supporter of the Industrial | Union, ‘Torgler Challenge Damns Nazi Court (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) | lowed by the principals in the trial, | went down to the cellar to inspect the tunnel, The tunnel is about 660 | feet long, lined with heat pipes and \lighting wires.

Another bit of testimony damag- ing the prosecution’s efforts to whitewash the Nazi leaders was the declaration of the Reichstag chief | engineer that he made his first round of inSpection on the night of the fire at 10:34 p.m., or more than one hour jafter the fire was set.

A shop delegate conference is called by the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union for Saturday, Oct. 21 at 10 a. m. at Cooper Union to which every shop in the trade, organized and unor- ganized, regardless of union affili- ation, is urged to send representa- tives. The conference has the all important task of mobilizing the needle workers to struggle to re- of increased standards in the recent Every shop in the industry should have a delegate at this conference to build a united front against the coming attacks of the bosses aided by the N.R.A. and the officials of the A, F. of L. Fur Dyers Call For United Front toStop N.R. A. Wage Cuts A. F. of L. Locals Are. Urged to Fght Code | Proposals | NEW YORK.—After hearing a re- port on the recent N.R.A. confer-| ences on a code for the fur dyers,| which proposed to lower the level of} the skilled workers’ wages to that! of the unskilled, the members of| the fur dyers section of the Needle ‘Trades Workers Industrial Union at! a membership meeting at Webster Hall, Tuesday night, decided to call on the workers of Loce! 2 and Loval 3 of the International Fur Workers’ Union to join with them in a united| front against the alliance of the boss- | es and the government to slash their| wage standards. The report was made by Sam Burt, union organizer, According to the proposals made.| which met with the approval of the) N.R.A. administrator, the wages of the industry would be fixed at 65 cents an hour for all the workers, re- gardless of the prices now in exist- ence. This would constitute a sub- stantial wage cut for the majority of the workers in the industry and would enable the bosses to establish new low levels. Only the Industrial Union carried on @ fight against) this wage cutting. A united front) of all the workers in the industry will defeat this move to smash union| standards through struggle, regard- less of the code, it was pointed out. The meeting decided to send a delegation to the hearing on the code| of the fur dyers and dressers to be! held in Washington, Approval of the recommendation of the executive board to begin payment| of unemployment relief was also| given by the members and a special committee was elected to administer relief to all workers unemployed for @ period of three weeks. At the same time, it was agreed that an Unemployed Council must be organized to lead the workers in struggle for unemployed relief, Although large numbers of work-| ers in the union are members of the| Democratic and Republican Parties, | the membership endorsed the Com-| munist Party election campaign, Evicted Worker’s Furniture Is Put Back By Strikers NEW YORK, N, Y.—Strikers of Allen St. neckwear shops helped the Unemployed Council put back the furniture of an evicted worker. The possessions of an unem- ployed worker at 170 Allen St. were carried upstairs by strikers from the neckwear factory on that street. and neighbors under the leadership of the Downtown Un- employed Council. The unemployed worker is a Syrian Jew and has 11 children. He works two days a week for the city, and gets. about $42 a month on Which he must feed the family. | He was evicted when he was only one month in arrears, He had been to court two days ago, When the judge gave him nine days in| which to pay the rent.

Demand Stop of Inqui- sitorial Investigations NEW YORK —At a mass meeting of professional workers now em- ployed by the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration, held Tuesday evening at the Grand Opera House, representatives of many groups pro- tested against the impending cut in salaries and against the inquisitorial treatment to which applicants are subjected by investigators, According to a recent statement by the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration, the relief workers are not “employees,” but “relief clientele” and therefore the N.R.A. did not ap- ply to them. As a result, the so- called white collar workers were out- lawed from the provisions of mini- mum hours and wage scales and max- imum working week. At frequent investigations the un- employed workers are subjected to all sorts of interrogations, one worker was asked how he dared to get mar- tied while he was getting relief. The meeting, which was attended by teachers, architects, musicians, statistical workers and others, de- cided to establish a permanent or- ganization, They formulated the following de- mands: No lay-offs withoiut an ade- quate presentation of the relief workers’ arguments at a public hear- ing, no wage cuts, and no sta’ system, a maximum working week 4 | of 38 hours, and a minimum wage | Seale of $4 and $5 a day according ; to the needs of the family. | Philadelphia To Hold |Gala Concert for Daily PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—A_ gala concert will be held here Friday evening, Oct. 20, at the Turnge- Ave., to raise funds in the Daily Worker Drive, An outstanding program which $40,000 arranged, ive hundred dollars must be raised at this affair if this Dis- trict is to catch up in the drive, All party units are asked to in- tensify their campaign so as to bring at least $5 each to the con- cert for the “Daily.” Party members must be prepared with application cards to approach Workerh for membership in the Party.

R.A. Fights Strike NEW YORK.—‘At no time has our strike been more solid and more militant than now after five weeks of struggle,” declared A. Hoffman, strike leader of the custom tailors affiliated with the Needle Tzvades Workers’ Industrial Union, at strike headquarters yesterday. Of the 3,000 workers who work on the exclusive clothes for the rich in Fifth Ave. shops, tenements. kitchens and other sweatshops, 2,500 are organized in the Needle Trades Workers’ Indus- trial Union. Conferences with Whalen have been geing on for a few weeks now, with | the last conference at Whalen’s of- |fice on Wednesday. A. Hoffman, representing the strikers, told Wha- |len that the union speaks in the mame of the entire trade. “The workers are disillusioned about the N. R. A, recognizing that you are merely prolonging the strike,” Hoff- jman told Whalen. None of the bosses were represented at the con- ference. Whalen replied that the N, R. A, could force collective bar- gaining but could not force recogni- tion of the union, He then decided to call another conference with the | bosses for Saturday morning at 11 )a, mM. Hoffman told the Daily Worker | that the N, R. A. is openly helping | the bosses to starve the workers into | submission. Before the conference | with the N. R. A. the bosses were | compelled to sign up with the union. | Seventy-five shops, involving 350 | workers, have already settled with | the union, including some important | shops, such as Louis Berg, Blau and | Bolnick and others. As soon as the |hosses learned of the negotiations, | applications for settlements stopped, | indicating clearly that the bosses | expect the N. R. A. to aid them in smashing the strike, Strike settle- ments resulted in increases in pay for the workers averaging 40 to 100 per cent, recognition of the union, the abolition of piece work and home work, All the workers who have re- turned to the settled shops have taxed themselves 19 per cent of their pay to aid the si “se. The strikers themselves exposed a recent attempt by the bosses to frame Hoffman and demoralize the strike. A picket, overhearing the statements of a few drunken policemen that Hoffman would soon be arrested for a “crime” committed in Chicago, re- ported at once to the union. De- tectives searched for Hoffman for several days in vain, On the picket |lines attempts were made to bribe || strikers to break up the strike from within. But the strikers ‘faithfully | reported every move of the bosses to smash their strike and stood sol- idly together in defense of their | leaders and their union. Picket lines go to the striking shops daily, The strikers present an unbreakable front. This must be cred- ited to the policies of the Industrial Union so ably applied by Oswaldo | Eusepi, union organizer who organ- ized the strike after months of care- ful preparations in the shops. Every shop in the trade will be rep- ,tesented at the shop conference called by the Needle Trades Work- \ers’ Industrial ! a.m, | | "ugene Schwartz of | Food Workers "Jnion Died, Funeral Today NEW YORK.—Eugene Schwartz, for many years an active member of the Food Workers Industrial Union, and employed at the Bronx | Co-operative Restaurant, died | Tuesday night, leaving his widow and one child, The funeral will take place Thursday, 11 a.m., from the Co-operative Auditorium, Bronx Park East.

For Unemployment Insurance, Immediate Cash Relief — Vote Communist! Jewelers’ Strike Is Solid As Negotiations With Bosses Continue NEW YORK.—As the jewelry work- ers’ strike enters its second week, negotiations are still under way with the Bape The pressure of the militant strike was so great this week that a proposed wage cut for the diamond setters was prevented and the bosses were forced to retreat on their proposal, Negotiations with the bosses are still deadlocked on the issue of the “four weeks” clause which provides that no worker may be discharged after a four weeks’ trial. Some of the union officials are trying to sub- stitute an arbitration board for this demand, but the workers are de- termined to resist this sell-out plan and hold out for the four weeks’ rule. Great enthusiasm is evident among the strikers and increasing militancy as pickets line up in front of the shops. The strike is expected to spread to non-union shops, especially the J. R. Woods shop, one of the largest non-union shop in the city.

There’s“a bour- geols traditon that when taking it on the chin the manly thing to do is to bear it and grin, Personally, when we feel that way we much prefer to let go of our emotions and ‘weep. This summer, way out in Des Moines, Iowa, I guzzled milk around a table well into the wee hours of one morning with two former major league baseball players who are now in the Class B minors and still slip- ping. Naw, they didn’t mind a bit. | Until about the tenth glass when} they began to reveal that inner sore- | ness of heart which was burning them to the quick. Just as industry throws out its workers when they are no longer able to show profits for the boss, so do the bourgeois sports cast into limbo their hired hands who no longer can “produce,” | At the point when they cease drag-| ging the cash customers through the turnstiles they're cast aside like an old shoe. ri. tae ‘S man Warner was the noblest Roman of them all. There hasn't! been another teacher of fundamen- tals like him in the game. His teams always displayed a brand of tackling and blocking that has been un- equaled in the annals of the sport. Others more powerful physically may have beaten them, but Pon's teams always put on a smooth performance and no one ever saw them play rag- gedly, His single and double wing-| back offensive formations virtually | revolutionized the game, These were stigmatized originally by opponents as suited only to a power attack.) But the smart alecs soon began to rub their eyes in amazement while their “rumps were being pounded against their own goal posts by per- fectly executed lateral passes, for- wards, cut-backs, reverses, intricate spinner plays, and everything else known to the game, with plenty that wesn't previously know to boot. And all executed with a smooth-as-silk finesse. ‘And so Pop moved up the ladder | fast. First achieving national re- nown with the Carlisle Indians a quarter of a century ago, he moved on to Pitt and thence to the top at Stanford. Then something went wrong with the scouting system at the west coast. Possibly that was Pop’s fault all right, He was too big a guy to go in for this slimy sort of stuff with his real heart and soul, and his ma- terial began to peter out. The tre- mendous power being assembled in the meanwhile at Southern Califor- nia, Stanford’s chief rival, was a little too overwhelming and Howard Jones’ Trojans began to take War- ner over the jumvs. The latter's sound strategy ard perfected tech- Oodward Yewhouse Back to the Bushes By JACK HARDY Batting for Edward Newhouse LENN SCORBEY WARNER, more familiarly known as played, is back in the bush leagues of the game. This sullen-browed patriarch of the sport, sixty-two years of age and still at it, after coaching for some forty years, finds himself directing the gridirion destinies d te the heretofore virtually unheard of Temple University. In his day he climbed the heights. To get a glimpse of him this season you have to travel seven miles * fected aerial attack when that style of play was in its infancy. Rockne, until his death two years ago, was another of those excellent coaches. He was the perfector of the shift style of attack, so designed as to completely obscure from the de- fense the point at which his backs were going to strike, Along with this he combined the difficult man-for- man system of blocking, instead of the two-on-one, high-lowing usually employed by those who use the Warner system. Yes, Rockne’s methods were good, yet for years they availed him little. Then, like a bolt out of the blue, there arrived at South Bend the grandest galaxy of stars ever as» sembled on a single gridiron (you'll have to ask someone from Notre Dame how they came to be there). With players like the “Four Horse- men,” with men like Carideo, Brill, Schwartz, Jim Crowley, Harry Mehre and Slip Madigan in his line-up, even Eddie Newhouse could have turned out consistent winners for the “Fighting Irish.” No, it wasn’t that Warner went sour while Rockne got good. One knew how to proposition the Prep School stars of the country, while the other fell down at that end of the business, Incidentally, that’s an art in itself, At New York Univer- sity Chick Meehan brought them into the fold in that real big way that nobody before or since him has even begun to approach, But he didn't know the art of keeping the smell out of the newspapers, So while he was a success at the main task of putting N.Y.U. on the foot- ball map, he was sent scurrying any- way. Up in the Bronx, wht now punches the clock at Manhat- tan College, the material is neither plentiful nor what you'd call extra hot, So that great man is destined to again have his troubles. Pear ae It’s the same old story throughout the length and breadth of the capital- ist sport world, whether amongst the so-called “amatures,” the collegiates or the honest-to-goodiess profession- als. Produce a winner or get out. Show “results” at any cost—regard- less of how that end is achieved, If you have to go out and spike or cripple an opponent, very well and goed. But win. Sportsmanship! Playing for the sake of the game! Fine, well-drilled teams! Polished technique! Excellent play! Don't make me laugh. In this day and age when capitalist suc- cess is measured in terms of ability to rake in the shekels, such silly non- sense doesn't erase red ink from the ledgers. If you don't win, your boss deesn’t want to hear the reason why. We wish Pop Warner the best of luck at Temple.
