Between 14th and 13th Streets wv identify a single person in the mob, told Ralph Matthews, city editor of the Baltimore Afro-American, a Negro newspaper, that one Shelburn Lester of Princess Anne, was the mean who attacked Capt. M. Johnson of the state troopers, which was swiftly followed by the mob’s drive into the jail. Spencer also identified the 19-year old youth who cut off Armwood’s ears with a butcher-knife to the applause of the biood-thirsty mob, as one Craig Clarkson of Princess Anne, State's Attorney Robins Gave O.K. Among those mob leaders who have also been identified is one John Hines, “definite address as yet unascertained, but supposed to be a resident of the Eastern Shore where the lynching tock place.” Hines is believed to be a kin of the woman whose arm Armwood is al- leged to have grabbed. The owner of the Princess Anne radio store (name not yet ascertained) is said by an eye-witness to have got the keys to the jail from the Sheriff's daughters, Since the town has only one radio store, Patterson said there should be no difficulty in establish- ing his identity. In the amazing affidavit telling the story of the lynching and the mob spirit that immediately preceded it, Spencer states: “With my own ears, I tell you, I heard him, State’s Attorney John B. Robins, three hours before the lynching, tell part of the gathering crowd of mobsters: ‘Boys, if there’s going to be trouble I don’t want to be -here, Let your conscience be your guide. You won’t find any op- position against you tonight when you go after him.’ And then Robins left Princess Anne, going back to Crisfield; that’s why he wasn’t there during the murdering of the boy. That’s why.” Spencer, in his affidavit, then tells that he is a chef by trade, at: pres- ent unemployed, who had spent 14 years in the U. S. Infantry. He had gone into the World War as a private and came out a captain, 42nd Divi- sion, C Company, Colonel House, Commander. Judge Duer Knew of Mob’s Plans Three days before the lynching he left Washington to visit one James Morrison, a friend of his living two miles outside of Princess Anne. While the mob was gathering to lynch the Negro, Captain Spencer pleaded with his friend to loan him | his revolver to hold off the lynch- ers. His friend, according to the affidavit, replied: “You're crazy to interfere, It’s suicide if you try to stop them.” “I know why Morrison wouldn't let me have the gun,” Captain Spen- cer continues, “he was one of the leaders of that mob that night.” Spencer continues in his affidavit: “Certainly Daugherty, Robins, Duer and all that bunch knew they were going to lynch Arm- wood that night. Everybody in Princess Anne knew it, I heard it from every group on the street I saw. I was standing by a group of which Daugherty was a member at noon Wednesday, and I saw Carl Henderson, who lives on R. F. D., No. 2, Box 64, Princess Anne, when he came up to ths bunch and said: ‘We'll have a bizger lynching here than when Williams was lynched two years ago, and Sheriff Daugh- erty heard every word. Any num- ber of other people told the sheriff the same thing, I myself heard him reply to one such statement: “‘What's one nigger more or less?" “I left Princess Anne and when I vned a few honrs Inter I met the Commander of the American Taxi Workers Union To Protest Against )-Cent City Tax To Demand That Tax! Be Withdrawn NEW YORK.—A demonstration of taxicab drivers against the city 5-cent cab tax will be called next week by the Taxi Workers’ Union at City Hall to express the protest of thousands of taxi drivers in the city who are bein3 robbed of their earnings by the imposition of the tax. Cab drivers are getting fewer tips where the tax is being de- ducted automatically at the meter, and many hackmen are still being forced to pay the tax out of their earnings. The pressure of the taxi drivers and their threat of a strike which would tie up the city forced the Board of Aldermen to revoke a previous decision to withdraw all licenses from drivers failing to pay the tax. But instead they substi- tuted an equally burdensome ruling that all drivers will have to pay interest on taxes they fail to turn in, The taxi drivers are insistent that they will not stop their fight against the tax until it is com- pletely abolished, since it actually constitutes a wage cut. Paris taxi drivers, the union pointed out to the Daily Worker, have just waged a fight against a similar tax and carried through a tremendous protest demonstration last week. The Taxi Workers’ Union at 87 E. 13th St. is arranging the dem- onstration, the date of which is to be announced. The union is also arranging a symposium on_ the elections, at which candidates of various political parties will be asked to speak. Salem Metal Men Win More Pay Thru Strike NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—Workers of the Salem Brothers metal lamp shop, 122 Center St., returned to work today after a week’s strike, assured of a 15 per cent wage in- crease. The boss will pay time and a third for overtime, and there will be a 40-hour, five-day week as a result of the strike. The strikers joined the Steel and Metal Workers’ Industrial Union -_ Legion there on the street and 1 asked him what he expected to do towards stopping the lynching. He asked me what I expected him to do. ‘There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight,’ was his answer to my plea for action on the part of the Legion, Saw Sheriff and Legion Head In Mob “A niece of Mrs. Denston, about 20 years old, was in the city all day, in- citing the mob to lynch Armwood. She was there last night, too, pacing back and forth, urging the mob on. “They cut Armwood's ear off as soon as he was brought down the steps of the jail. (Editor’s note: After Captain Spencer had signed his affi- davit, he saw the boy who slashed off Armwood’s ear on the street in Princess Anne, followed him and as- certained that he was Craig Clark- son.) “The same boy who had cut off his ear was the one who threw the rope over the tree limb to hang him, “And there’s another thing the papers didn’t tell. In that mob I saw positively Sheriff Daugherty, Deputy Sheriff Dryden, State Po- ice Captain Edward M. Johnson, several of the State police and members of the American Legion.

Keep Absolutely Secret! September 23, 1933. Uschla Berlin Alexanderplatz 812 No. X In reply to your letter of September 5th: The development of the special division cannot take place as rapidly as you desire, since conditions here are more difiicult than you suppose. We are being watched and must be careful, Count Sauerma is out of the question for the proposed position, as he lacks experience. It is better to employ him for the Bunaste. Count Norman returned from Berlin, bring- ing his brother with him, Dr. Spanner asks energetically that the Gen- eral Electric representatives in Germany be watched, as they intend to carry on esvionage there. The General Electric stole his invention, and he is now going to take steps against them. As his brother in the Medical Center has done a lot for us,—for instance, he has won two of the profes- sors there for our cause,—we requestthat Dr. Spanner’s business affairs be speeded up and given protection. Send us a young lady of good appearance, who is very reliable; it is best if her father and brothers are S.A, men (storm troopers). She should speak some English and Russian fluently and must take the place of our agent in the Amtorg. She should come bver on the Europa or Bremen as a hairdresser, then we'll send another person back to Germany on the ship, thus evading the immigration authorities and avoid a check-up by Untermeyer. eo +++» cannot find a place for Van der Lubbe here; it is best if you throw him overboard into the ocean while en route to another country. Whom do you intend to hang in his place in Germany? I agree with you entirely that it would be good to give the damned Communists in Leipzig an in- jection of syphilis. Then it can be said that Communism comes from syphilis of the brain, Send us a new code; we believe that the old code can be read by Unt=rmyer. Spanknoebel has just entered the room and sends you his best wishes. He would like to have a physicist assigned by the Office for Exchange Students, to do a few little jobs for him. Theremin is lazy and wants too much money, and what is more, he seems to be half a Jewish swine him- self, The man betrays his own country and therefore we cannot trust him, despite all assurances. And the little Katja—that is how Count Sauerma calls Konstantinov—is a dumbe and conceited girl, who is doing good work on" the whole, but is always crying now; therefore I think she would be better taken care of over there. She could be used for Russian translations, Let us know how things stand with the Hitler book. We must distrib- ute many of them free; we'll have considerable success with it.

HAAG, Adjutant of the National Leader. (SEAL) Friends of the New Germany. National Intelligence Office, U.S.A. UNTERMYER READS DAILY WORKER ger to stop that mob” NAZI EXPOSE AT CITY HALL HEARING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Ridder, publishers of the German Jan- guage “Staats-Zeitung” of New York charged that Heinz Spanknoebel, leader of the “Friends of New Ger- many”—recently exposed in the Daily Worker—was sent here by Hitler to “influence the policy of the German Press in the U. 5.” They were followed by Bernard Deutsch, of the Jewish-American Congress and a spokesman for the Jewish War Veterans, Dr. William Popcke, a minister, in charge of the Nazi celebration’on the 29, denied that he knew Spanknoe- bel, leader of the Nazis. He caused considerable merriment when, in answer to a question put to him, he declared that he was “perfectly and entirely in the dark” regarding Spanknocbel’s activities. Charges that the Nazi storm troop- ers in New York had engaged in “gangsterism at our meetings” were made by formerly prominent leaders of the United German Societies. “Mr. Mayor,” Minor began, in a voice which rang through the cham- ber, “the purpose of the Nazis in the United States is to establish a cer- tain system of organization here, The | organization they wish to establish as talked of in their own letter in plain German is an organization for extra- legal violence which is easily com- parable to the system of ‘fehme mur- ders’ in Germany. The purpose of this organization here is to establish an anti-Semitic, and, still more im- Dortant because more substantial, an anti-labor extra-legal system of vio- lence. They wish to establish a sys- tem which will not only peddle strike- breaking forces to employers, but also as instigators of race riots not only for the murder of innocent Jews, but also for the assassination of the lead- ers of the labor movement, not the harmess, of course, not the toothless bureaucrats, but the revolutionary leaders of the labor movement.” Minor deWared that “for the sake of the German people, it is necessary not to permit these people (Nazis in New. York) to proceed in this man- ner.’ “There 1s before you perfect evi- dence in documentary form,” contin- ued Minor, “justifying not alone the refusal of the demands of these Na- zis, but the immediate arrest of the criminal Heinz Spanknoebel and his associates and their being held in complicity In the murder of innocent Jews and of workers in Germany. It is already documentarily shown that they are connected directly with the infamous frame-up in Berlin by which innocent men are being rail- roaded to not even the gallows, but the headman’s block with the bloody axe that Hitler has ressurrected from the dark ages. These Nazis in the U.S. are directly connected with the frame-up in the Reichstag trial, with the plan to murder innocent men for the crime committed by Adolph Hit- ler and by such men as Heinz Span- knoebel, Nazi leader, who came to Affierica at a date which very interestingly corresponds with the date on which the real Nazi incendia- ries were fleeing from the scene of the Reichstag fire, Continuing, Minor said that “it ts for the sake of the German people suffering under the butcher Hitler that we demand the sternest action against them, I speak for an organ- ization that is especially interested because these instigators and organ- izers of murder have openly ex- pressed their mission to include the murder of myself and other leaders of the working class movement and the Communist Party. They have ex- pressed that as a part of their mis- sion both in Philadelphia and in New} York. “Everybody knows that when in the next few months, the German people hang Adolph Hitler, which they wil!—” (here Minor was inter- rupted by applause) “for the mur- ders that he has committed, it will be done under the leadership of the Communist Party of Germany.” Loud cheers greeted this state- ment, Minor declared that it was neces- sary to reject “the senile views of Mr. Harry Weinberger (Civil Liberties] Union—Ed.) who expresses the ideas of @ decrepit and bankrupt middle: Class liberalism. The bankruptcy, the ‘poverty, the miserable role of the American Civil Liberties Union was inal? more terribly exposed than ere,” Weinberger put forward the sinis- ter proposal that the Nazi meetings be permitted “with police and mili- tix on hand to cope with disorder.” At this point, gazing wrathfully first at Weinberger and then at Mayor O’Brien, Minor declared that the Civil Liberties Union “did not have suf- ficient time to come this morning to a court where Fascism is being put over by degrees in America, where I face a criminal prosecution just in the fashion of Hitler for the fact that I have insisted on the right of the working class to picket and-to strike and to join unions of their own choice despite injunctions, These liberals have.no time to interfere with the Fascism being introduced by Mayor O'Brien's court, by the courts of the Democratic Party.” At this point, O’Brien, who up to then had mzintained his pose as one who is “shocked” by the “Nazi invasion in the U. S.” began to squirm, “Just a minute, Mr, Minor, you know the issues before us...” Unperturbed, Minor went on to say: “I wish to point out that when Spanknoebel’s men raise the ques- tion of the N.R.A., they are pursuing @ consistent policy in America.” “The fascist Oswald Mosley in Eng- land,” continued the Communist leader, “has stated that he readily ac- cepts as a part of his program Presi- dent Roosevelt's program in America, and it is well known that both Mus- solini and Hitler have found points of comparison between the N. R. A. and their systems of dictatorship.” As Tammany police, to whom Minor is extremely well known be- cause of his militant activities, be- gan edging toward him, and O’Brien continued to announce that Minor's time was up, the latter declared: “May I then point out this, Mr. Mayor—that’ already the proposal of Hitler in Germany to have positions in schools and in the liberal profes- sions allotted by percentages to dif- ferent races has already been raised in the city of New York, Our dis- tinguished rival, Mr. Mayor, your rival candidate and mine,” (laughter here) “Mr, McKee, has raised the question in harmony with Spank. noebel, of the apportionment to the Positions in the professions and in- stitutes of learning in proportion to the number of Jews in the popula- tion, He has already put it in prac- tice in some of the institutions of learning. “Mr. Mayor, I, wish to show that the administration is itself pursuing a policy with the issuance of injunc- tions against trade unions, their ef- forts to break up political meetings on the streets of New York and by! \Strike at Robins Drydock Stronger As Pipefitters Join Metal Union Calls On Strikers to Picket NEW YORK. ot Robins Drydock wa! strike Tuesday at noon,and j the striking boilermaker:, rigg ani other workers, The action of the pipefitters strengthened the strikers’ ranks immeasurably and made it more difficult for Peaboly of the A.

He said he would confer Fri- day with the railroad officials in con- nection with the reuef administra- tion’s plans to care for transients, “We are rapidly establishing tran- sient camps,” he continued. “There's one in Florida now with 575 people in it. A lot of people are thinking of pretty imaginative schemes for han- dling these fellows. “The men will live in tents, houses, colonies. There will be 200 to 300 of these transient centers. O* course, I know we have bitten off t big job when We say we're going 1 handle the transient probiem, Bu. ‘; is one the administration conside:t impor- tant. We are not a police depart- ment, however, nobody's going to be put into these camps by force.” “Suppose the railroads pull them off trains by force and send them to the camps?” Hopkins was asked. “That's their (the railroad’s) busi- ness—that’s private property. We're not going to do any policing for them.” Women’s Camps, Too Plans are already complete for the operation of camps in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, Akron, New Orleans, Chattanooga, Memphis, Muscle Shoals, Mobile, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Pensa- cola, and a number of other cities. They will be under the direct super- vision of the Washington relief agen- cies, with Marvin Lewis, director of transient activities of the federal or- ganization, in charge. Casually, Hopkins detailed the dif- ficulties. of “solving the transient problem.” For instance, he expound- ed, “there’s a nice distinction between hoboes and tramps.” And he told how “for year's there’s been a crowd who do the ‘al labor of America; the set-up of industry demanded it. A hobo has a distinction acquired by tradition and experience and they don’t like to be concentrated in camps—that was conveyed to me when I spoke in Chicago.” “Hoboes have been organized by James E, Howe, a millionaire, “one of the press remarked. “That gives them standing, too,” Hopkins joked. When somebody asked whether his relief program included camps for women he said, “We're considering several projects for women and it may include camps.” segregation of the Negroes in Har- Jem, which is in direct line with Spnaknoebel himself. I should like to ask Mr. Untermyer if it is true or not that the Negroes are segre- gated. “I demand that the Naz! mur- derers be driven out . . .” Minor concluded as he was halted by Mayor O'Brien, When, after O'Brien had: dema- gogically asserted in the course of the hearing that “this sounds like a se- cret invasion of this country,” his supporters cheered him, and one of them was so indiscreet as to shout: “Vote for O'Brien!” ‘The mayor looked embarrassed and hypocritically pleaded: “Please omit cheers of this kind.

I saw his debut in this country against Big Boy Peterson. That was Carnera’s first bout in the initial tank tour which carried him across the continent. He came out of his corner, pawing, and miss- ed two punches by feet. They tang- led in a clinch and parted and Car- nera pawed again. Peterson didn't meke an effort. A nudge to the face put him on the canvas and he was counted out, . LL the papers laughed at Carnera, his bulk, his muscle-tied efforts at jabbing, his snail-eating manager. There was a note of indignation at the insult to the fans’ intelligence. But, more important than the most spectacular fighting ability, the vast Venetian had demonstrated his at- tractiveness as copy, therefore as a card. He ran through the sticks like an epidemic, bowling over the help- less setups with a frequency and dis- patch that could not fail to arouse comment of one sort or another. Some even claimed he was the goods. Later, to establish the outfit’s sincerity, Leon See, who at the time was a leading spirit among the Leaning Tower’s corps of man- agers, sald things like, “But this one is on the level,” and “Primo is through with all that.” Primo was put in with “names” like Mal- oney and Stribling, men with a 60 to 70 pounds disadvantage. Whether these bouts were on the level or not I don’t know. Though after each of them the Gorgonzola punch,” the “terrific right upper- cyt” materialized in the sixth. Poop. It was nothing. Nothing but shove. Not one of the news- papermen I spoke to thought it was anything. They said as much in the papers. But as the week and the post mortems wore on, the punch seemed to become more and more impressive. Primo was get- ting the best press of his career. oe eo ND now the Uzcudun bout. Pao- lino had been laying off for a ear after a series of disastrous beat- ings by everybody including Mickey Walker. Il Duce intimated he would be gratified to attend a boxing show featuring his champion. Paolino was Primo’s man. Almost a full foot, shorter, 70 pounds lighter, with an abnormally small reach, out of con~ dition, 34 years old, just the man for a real Roman holiday. Wearing the gaudiest uniform per- mitted the Fascist militia, the repre- sentative of “New Italy's best” made his triumphal entry into the stadium set for an early knockout and cele- bration. Max Schmeling was in the champion’s corner, the man who had battered Paolino into helplessness, Il Duce raised his hand and smiled. Paolino squared off and fought Car- nera for fifteen dismal, hopeless rounds. Primo couldn’t knock him out. The Basque bored in, head on chest, to get his opponent, who pummeled him at will, Il Pon- deroso had as much of a secret punch as he displayed at the Sunken Bowl. Round by round the volume of the derision swelled. The old Bronx cheer and lots of it, It Duce commanded silence. Blackshirts dispersed into the crowd to make it let up. The boo- ing grew. Carnera hit with every- thing in sight to knock him ont. Paolino laughed, The last rounds were fought in a pandemonium. The Italians didn’t go for “the symbol of New Italy.” Guzzler was universally pronounced as finally deflated, he’d crop up in other sections on major cards and his plodding, spiritless, ludic- Madison Square Garden is plan- .rous victory would put him back | ning for a return bout in this coun- in ths dough.
