Patterson left immediately after seeing Howe to attend a protest meet- ing in Baltimore and to attempt once more to see Governor Albert C. Ritchie to renew demands on behalf of Lee. Ritchie was charged with direct responsibility in the Armwood lynch- ing by the delegation in the White House. The workers’ spokesmen in- cluded Jean Hurling, a representative of the Needle Trades Workers’ In- dustrial Union; Tessin Zorach, John Hopkins University student from the Baltimore Branch of the National Student League; Alex Bell from the the Leavue for Struggle for Negro Rights; F. D. Griffin, New York renrssents- tive of the L. 8. N. R. and Charles Ingram of Boston, representing the I. L. D. in New England. Fourteen other mass organization leadcrs came to Washington to see the President, but the White House} would permit only seven to come into| the conference. When these arrived,| police dotted the Plaza outside the! executive office and others ambushed themselves in the shrubbery of the Toot of a cloister leading away from the low office building. Edwin Kel- ley, huge captain of a local police precinct, strolled in the sunshine say- ing, “I've got 15 of my men on this.” John Postilitis, notorious black-jack wielder of the “red squad,” known more familiarly as “Jerry the Greek,” Swaggered beside reporters announ- cing, “I’m just gonna keep ’em in the sunshine.” » Outside the gate of the iron fence of the spacious White House lawn stood William T, Murphy, another “red squadder,” recently active in the dual capacity as sergeant-at-arms of the official American Federation of Labor Convention, and _stool-pigeon in the rank and file A.

Even a uniform- ed stalwart of the capital park police was on hand, all to protect the White to protest a lynching at which dozens of heavily armed police participated as spectators, Naturally the delegation didn’t have to introduce themselves; even reporters laughed as they were quiet- ly ushered into the marble floored offices after the secret service stop- ped them and ordered “only six come in.” Once inside Howe's office they were allowed to send for the seventh “Give the key to McKee McKee’s “Recovery” Party. Framed Balti Foliowing is the chronology of the heroic struggle made by the In- ternational Labor Defense, supported by broad masses of Negro and white toilers, to save the innocent 60-year o!d Negro worker, Euel Lee (Orphan Jones) from the legal lynching decreed by the courts of Mary- land,—a ghastly lynch decree upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court and Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland and the whole white ruling class: @ Oct, 12, 1931—KHuel Lee arrested on framed-up charge for murder of} Green Davis, white farmer, and his | family at Taylorsville, Worcester | County, Maryland, a few hours after the murder.

Patter- son, national secretary, announced, Judge Horton, Patterson pointed out, is aiding in this effort by re- fusing to set a date for hearing on writs of habeas corpus filed by the I, L, D. lawyers demanding that he set bail for the Scottsboro boys, as he is legally obliged to do by is own rulifig in the decision granting Heywood Patterson a new trial. Besides going up to Decatur to confer with Judge Horton and Judge Callahan, Knight has written a formal letter to the Ku Klux Klan judge king that he take over the cases, the I. L. D. learned. An attempt is being made to force the boys to face a lynch- court again in the beginning of in the town of Decatur, being prepared for the new “trial” by a wave of lynch= ing, terror and frame-up of Negroes, ‘ ued @ call today to icts and branches of the LL.D., to all friends of the Scotts- boro Boys and the oppressed Negro to Heads of Anthracite Union BattleOn Who Is to Serve Bosses Capellini Gangsters, Lewis Machine Out for Control By a Worker Correspondent WILKES-BARRE, Pa—The an- thracite miners are witnessing a war between the leaders of two sets of unions—those of the self-admitted company agent, John Boylan, incum- bent President of District 1, United Mine Workers, and those headed by the underworld gangster, Rinaldo Capellini, leader of the Anthracite Miners Union of Pennsylvania. R. Capellini was forced to quit the office that J. Boylan holds now, in 1928, when he openly and publicly was accused of several murders of the rank and file miners by his gur- men. It was the time when Alex Campbell and Peter Reilly were mas- sacred by machine guns in Pittston, Pa. ‘The Capellini and Thomas Maloney faction called a strike this fall in the collieries of two coal companies—the Hudson Coal Co. and Penn Anthra~ cite Coal Co., demanding recognition of their union, the Anthracite Miners of Pennsylvania. The forces of the miners are di- vided about 50-50. All those with Boylan are working, while those of Capellini are striking, There are no Pickets around the mines at all, for Capellini and Maloney have agreed with the county sheriff that picketing is too radical a method. Every day there are more men go- ing to work. The Rank and File Committee of this district proposed a program for all miners in the anthra- cite, demanding, for example, that trate sheet rates should be paid, un- employment insurance, ete. But Capellini and his crew flatly reject=d such a program. Now they have no program or demands, with the excep- tion of one: Recognition of their union and their self-appointed lead- ership. In his radio talk, Capellini ‘once more reassured the coal owners that he believes in capitalism and that he is seeking the coal owners’ coopera- tion. Well, he is getting what he was looking for, but the miners are get- ting wise to him. Miners know that he is the biggest coward ever seen on two legs. While just a little while ago he was released out of jail for being convicted of arson, and while he is under bail for distribution of counterfeit money, every time he wants to attack Communists, he as- sures his audience of being a “good law-abiding citizen,” not like those Communists, who openly advocate the abolishing of this system of thievery and racketeering. No one can see him alone unless there are a dozen gunmen around him. No one ever saw or ever will see him on the picket line. He is afraid to advise miners to picket in mass. For the last two weeks he js even afraid of his own followers. All of his speeches are nothing but praise of Roosevelt and the N.R.A.

Faced by Unemployed | tris: NEW YORK.—The Action Com- mittee for Adequate Winter Relief initiated by the Unemployed Coun- cils has taken steps to obtain relief for the workers of Brownsville. A delegation visited the Borden and Sheffield milk companies demanding that the prices of dairy products be cut. In answer, the companies shifted the responsibilities for the high prices to the State Milk Control Board. At the Home Relief Bureau, at Public School 150, a delegation headed by Mollie Samuels, Communist can- didate for the assembly in the 23rd Assembly District, compelled Mrs. Wallace, the supervisor of the Bureau, to promise relief within the next few days. The Unemployed Council has also undertaken to end the discrimination against destitute Negro families at the Home Relief Bureaus. Two cases were pointed out, the eviction of Mrs. Bryan and her small children, and the inability of Mrs. Squires to obtain relief. “Dally,” 50 B. 13th St., N.Y. City.

For the first time since the days when I was a trusted and welcome bystander at secret practices, I have failed to take the trouble of telephoning Mr. Guffy or Mr. Stein, prominent alumni, now engaged in a fascinating and thriving ticket. practice somewhere midway between Washington Square and University Heights. Football still looks good from the field. ‘The factors which taint my enjoyment of it must seem extrane- ous and irrelevent to some confirmed football-for-football’s-saker. I have yet to attend my first full game of the season. The only real gridiron experience I had this year came on the Queensboro line of the B.M.T. subway in the form of a short story by Harry Stuhldreher and W. Thorn- | ton Martin, in the Saturday Evening | Post. . IN the manner of James Durante, Harry Stuhldreher, who was one of the Four Horsemen and now coaches some prominent combination of lumberjacks and copper miners, needs no introduction. I have no way of telling whether or not he did col- laborate on the story but the thing certainly has all the earmarks of the grid craftsman. That story is an es- sence of all the important or dis- | | tinguishing values of football as he’s played and managed. OV Man Thomas, the Hillside coach brings his modest squad to take its yearly inaugural shellack- ing in the great Puma Studium. “He knew that if by some freak of luck he licked the Pumas, they would be dropped from the Puma schedule like a red-hot coal. He knew that he was on the schedule because experience had proved that his team put up just enough oppo- sition and not too much... . It was his bread and butter crowd. ws train fare and new equipment for the first team and a salary for himself and one assistant and a rubber. It was subsidy for basket ball, baseball and track ... He knew also that Hillside opposition this year would be stronger than usual. For some inexplicable reason, the squad ; a full three weeks ahead of their ustal early-season form. “And he knew that one or two or even three of his men would be too bruised and spont, too sore of muscles and bones, to play again before the third or fourth game of his schedule.” . cee | Ol’ Man watches his team line up. There’s the Kid, the nople- hearted boy who had turned down the soft advertising job at Puma and come to Hillside which had only “a milk route and a few pearl diver's jobs. Jobs like that. The Kid chose the power house job.” And there's cagy Mike Tyrone, the ! villain coach of Puma, commercial and stagy. “Well, I teach 'em how to piay this game but if they’re dumb I can’t help it. If they followed out my coaching everything would be jake.” Tyrone’s team had a com- | pressed air drinking wagon of pol- ished metal. Hilside used a bat- tered bucket and a cracked dipper. Nail heads came through their cleats. Hilleide played lke mad. The OY Man never knew they had that in them. They're stoppin~ the vaunted triple-threat men and fli‘ing the air with balls on passes. Just playing themselves off the Puma schedule and out of the money. “Behind him, the crowd massed around the openings of the ramps, Above him on the score board the block letters seid: Fuma 0, Visitors 13.

Tyrone must be screwy scheduling a bunch like that for @ warm-up.’” A vista of future years of poverty— . “bleak years, years of poverty.” It was all the kid's idea. He had “got ‘em all jobs in a logging camp so they could be together all sum- mer, They kept training hours and they laid off the fried stuff, and they ran through plays after hours and took turns conducting skull practice. He told ’em that instead of chipping in at the end of the season and buy- ing the Ol’ Man a pipe or a travel- ing bag, why not take the Pumas?” iy Ei big man in a derby hat put out his hand.” Carruthers, the power behind the Puma athletic throne. “I sat with Fowler and Tay- lor at the game today. I've talked it over with them. Together we're a majority of the athletic committee We want you to come up here next year and take over the ccaching job.” “Tl take you up on one condi- tion,” the OI Man said, “I want to open with Hiliside next year and I want to boost their guaranty five thousand dollars.” pagar ess IARRY STUHLDREHER wrote that story. He has keen steeped in football talk, football practice and football values all his life and 2 fietion sketch by him is more revealing than a thousand factual exposes of the game. ‘The Kid is big-hearted. He takes the power-house job. Tyrone is fired. He couldn't win” a game. The Ol Man is big-hearted. He throws in the extra five thousand. “Whoever made up that schedule puiled & boner,” says one of the Puma men. “I wonder where the Hillsides get those guys. They must comb the coal regions.” Helping the Daily Worker Through Ed Newhouse Contributions received to ‘the eredit of Edward Newhouse in his effort to catch up in the Socialist competition with Michael Gold, and Dr, Luttinger to raise $1,000 in the $40,000 Daily Worker drive.
