DAILY WORKER, EW YORK, T BSDAY, EMBER 7, 1933 Page Three Farmers from 40 States Start for Nov. 15 Chicago Conference ALL PORTLAND UNEMPLOYED Cleveland Jobless ORGANIZATIONS UNITE FOR SOCIAL INSURANCE FIGHT 125 Delegates Form Committee to Push Cam- paign for Workers Relief Ordinance PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 6.—Approximately 125 delegates, representing every local of every unemployed organization in Portland, met in confer- ence Oct. 30, and after ironing out differences of opinion, organization and program, agreed upon a program for militant struggle for relief and aunem- ployment insurance. Organizations represented were the Unemployed Citizens League, Civic Emergency Federation, Kenton Un- employed League, and Unemployed Councils. In spite of organizational differ- ences it was soon realized that all were assembled as unemployed work- ers and that only by united action could adequate relief be secured. A resolution providing for per- manent organization was introduced by the Provisional Committee, which, after stating the need of the unem- ployed uniting, concluded “that in conformity with this resolution, we hereby establish in Multnomah County, a federation of unemployed pe facie organizations constituted by elected delegates from the basic organiza- tions, locals, branches, committees of action on the basis of two delegates for every fifty members or major fraction thereof, as well as three, | delegates from the central body of each participating organization.” This Executive Committee of 12 will meet soon to lay out plans for struggle around the immediate de- mands of the unemployed. This Federating Convention adopt- ed the Workers Unemployment In- surance Bill and the Unemployed j Workers Relief Ordinance sponsored | | by the Unemployed Council. Minor Denounces Ritchie’s Attempt to Excuse Lee Murder ‘Answers Lie Ne gro Was Given a Fair Trial (Continued from Page 1) the whole system of segregation, the whole atmosphere of brutality, class exploitation and discrimination in schools, jobs, railroads, theatres, res- taurants and courts of law in Mary- land and elsewhere, is the complete guarantee that no Negro, under the present fem maintained by the ruling class, can obtain on unpreju- diced trial Euel Lee, an innocent man, was ““found guilty by two juries.” Yes, in the first trial the jury was selected illegally from an oid list for the pur- pose of ensuring a lynching, and a lynch verdict secured within thirty- two minutes. Then, not because of any love of justice on your part, Gov-| ernor, or on the part of any of the office:s of Maryland State, but only | because of tite intervention of Com- munists, the first. verdict was upset. The second trial was different only in the sense that the officers of the Jaw used certain subterfuges to cover up the same lynching—the few Ne- groes on the jury panel were elim- inated by peremptory challenge and the same results obtained, with what on the surface appeared to be a legal jury. ‘ i challenge your statement that “every conceivable legal right the Ne- gro had was fully protected.” He was denied even his constitutional right to choose his own attorney, once at the beginning of the case, and again toward the end. Judge Joseph L, Bailey, in order to perfect the lynching, declared thet Attorney Bernard Ades, who held a retainer from Euel Lee to defend him, had no standing in that court, and at- tempted to bar the attorney from the defense. On the same day, Mayor J. O. Byrd of Snowhill issued a state- ment prohibiting the attorneys of the International Labor Defense from entering the town of Snowhill on the business of defending Euel Lee. On the same day, as a result of this + Purposeful incitemeut to lynching on the part of a judge and public offi- cials, the attorney and a woman assistant were attacked in Snowhill by a gang intent on lynching, and were compelled to seek refuge in the local jail. At the end of the long fight for Lee, his constitutional rights were again violated, when the Federal District Court in Baltimore barred the attorneys, Ades and Lev- inson, from arguing at itc bar a mo- tion filed by these attorneys for writs of habeas corpus and certiorari. Your allegation, which seems to mean that the evidence “was thor- oughly considered and decided against him by the Court of Appeals of Maryland,” etc., is not in accord with the truth. No court of ap- peals has ever passed on the evidence on which Lee was convicted, or on the preponderant evidence of his in- nocence, or the evidence | states, including yourself. Lynchings | | are a method of turning the wrath) of an exploited southern white farmer | class away from the real cause of their misery. Diverting the anger of | the ruined southern white farmer | from the southern ruling class of | bankers, speculators, and other ex- | ploiters to the Negro as a scapegoat is a method of “divide and conquer” which is not unknown to history. The Communist Party is growing very rapidly in the South as well as in the North. As its standard-bearer in the current election campaign in New York, I am fighting against the same sys#m of persecution and in- equality ‘of the Negro masses in the slightly different forms of the North. The Communist Party is destined to lead the white and Negro masses of the State of Maryland and of Amer- ica to a united and successful strug- gle for the complete overthrow of the brutal system that you repre- sent—the system of capitalism, land- lordism, and national enslavement of | the Negro people. You defend that brutal system which is now starving the people of Maryland, both black and white. And | in order to defend it, you quite logic- | ally support the murderous extra- legal and legal terror against the Ne+ groes. The Scottsboro case, the Wil- | He Peterson case, the Buel Lee case, and hundreds of others are, however, having an effect of waking up the masses of the South, both white and black. The white workers and labor- ing farmers of Maryland are not fools. It will not be long before they, under the whiplash of hunger, begin, like the farmers of Iowa and other northwestern states, to discover who their enemies are. We are helping them to understand, through ex- plaining these lynching cases, the brutal method that you have of blinding the white masses, particu- larly of the South. History is moving fast. It is my firm belief that in the near future both you, Governor Ritchie, and the other officers of the law in Maryland who have partici- pated in the lynching of Euel Lee, will yourselves be brought to ® court in which you will have to make a better explanation of your action bran you have made in your letter me. I am coming to Baltimore, where |I shail speak on this subject at a | mass meeting of white workers and | Negroes on Nov. 10. I shall invite you to be present.

O. Ford, Communist Candidate for Mayor visited the City Council, Monday night to protest this recent cut. Ford was granted the floor for about 25 minutes during which time he pointed out what suf- fering this relief cut meant for the unemployed, how under the NRA this is the second cut, the first being the rise in prices of food, etc. At first the politicians tried to pass the buck saying that they had no- thing to do with relief, that the responsibility rests with the County. Ford demanded that the City Council go on record against the cut in relief | —that a delegation go to the County! Commissioners together with the un-| employed councils and city imme-| diately make up differences from the | City treasury Then the Councilmen found they had no power to do anything of this nature. They demanded of Ford that he give them a legal method to handle the unemployed problem.| Ford retaliated by reading the Work- ers’ Relief Ordinance proposed by the | Cleveland Unemployed Councils and proposed this to be put into the sta- tute books. They then claimed they had no resources — that it was impossible whereupon Ford pointed out that sev- eral mililon dollars recently was given from the city Sinking Fund to repay the City bonds controlled by Wall Street bankers. Which was more vital, bread for the unemployed or interest for the bankers and parasites? | The arguments waxed hot for about 10 minutes when Ford hurled an- swers back to these scum and the President of Council adjourned the meeting saying “the city would take it under consideration.” No immediate answer was given re- gerding the relief cut, but the Un- employed Councils will show by the demonstrations in the various neigh- borhoods that we are determined to resist this cut and increase our relief.

Committees have been elected | to meet with the Unemployed Coun- cil for the purpose of making plans for carrying out this program. The program calls for the putting of a stop to the employment of out- of-town miners at less than the union scale; the enforcing of the colliery rate sheet in the mine; shorter work hours without reduction in pay; the abolition of the physical examina- tion, and the stoppage of all new strip mines, and the shutting down of all stripping and culm mines that are now working.

The pledge of sup- port follows: The National Executive Board of he Trade Union Unity League calls upon its entire membership, the members of the American Federation of Labor, and the unorganized work- ers to rally to the support of the ‘farmers who are fighting against the ‘obbery inflicted upon them by the bankers and their Wall Street gov- ernment. Trade Union Unity League so endorses the National Farmers Conference, to be held in Chicago on November 15 to the 18, at which the representatives of the poor working and oppressed farmers will gather to discuss their problems and how: to carry on the fight for their means to live. The great masses of poor and working farmers are today suffering from the same Roosevelt “recovery” as are the industrial workers. The AA.A. (Agricultural Adjustment Ad- ministration) has done exactly for the farmers the same things that the N.R.A. has done for the industrial workers. In both cases the Roose- | velt legislation has resulted in further squeezing out profits from the poor toiling masses for the benefit of the big capitalists and bankers. Just as the workers have answered these attacks with increased strike struggles, the poor and working farm- ers are answering these attacks thru the growing farmers’ strikes, Just as the Greens and Lewises are trying to stifle the struggles of the workers, so the Milo Renos are | trying to crush the struggles of the farmers. Just as the Greens and Lewises stand on the program of no strikes, so the Milo Renos, faced with the struggle of the farmers, preach to the farmers passivity, stay-at-home, against mass picketing. The bureaucrats of the Railroad Brotherhoods, while pretending to be in sympathy with the struggles of the farmers, refuse to mobilize the rail- road workers in support of the strik- ing farmers. They are opposed to and fear the solidarity of the work- ers and farmers.
