There are no Negroes on juries in New York, yet you fellows say noth- ing about that.” i This was the first expression of the judicial attitude Callahan was to show so brazenly in the coming trial.

On the Saturday night and the Sunday before the trial actually got under Way, @ house to house canvass was! made in Decatur, telling the resi- dents to keep away from the court-| room and that “all trouble was off.” No explanation was made for this action, Whether the pressure on President Roosevelt and his action in forwarding the protests without comment to Governor Miller had any- thing to do about it, I do not know. ‘There is one thing certain though: The world-wide publicity given to the | set-up and the flood of excoriating and denunciatory protests undoubt- edly left its effect upon the Alabama ; officials.

Framed Negro Calls for Fight on Fascist Lynch Terror in US. 1. L. D. Organizing Mass Campaign to Save Jordan SALEM, Ore., Dec. 3.—An appeal to the workers of the country to fight against fascist lynch terror, has just been issued by Theodore Jordan, Negro worker framed to die in the electric chair, from the death cell in the state penitentiary here. A legal and mass campaign to re- open the case before the state su- preme court here is being conducted by the International Labor Defense, along with a campaign to force Goy- ernor Julius L. Meier to free Jordan unconditionally. “Only mass pressure and action can force these issues,” Jordan says in his appeal. “Tom Mooney knows what I am talking about. He has been in prison 17 years, and a giant corporation was the direct instru- ment of his frame-up. In my case it is the Southern Pacific Railway Lines, which has directed that I must hang. “Sloppy sentiment, tears, and sympathetic expressions can do no good, Mooney, the Scottsboro boys, the workers and the Jewish people of Nazi Germany, Euel Lee, George | Armwood, the Tuscaloosa and St. Joseph lynch victims, could tell you this too.” CWAMakesNegroes Register in Harlem Say “Only White Folks Apply in Bronx” NEW YORK.—The vicous Jim Crow Policy practiced by the Roosevelt ad- ministration in the Civilian Conser- vation Corps is revealing itself in the registration for the Civil Works jobs, now gong on.

These demonstrations are proof that if the Commu- nist Party, in every district and unif lives up to its responsibility, a tremendous wave of protest can be immediately developed, despite the speed of the trials. The task of mobilizating the toiling masses against | the fascist lynch terror lies first of all with the Com-~ munist Party, revolutionary leader and vanguard of (AN EDITORIAL) the oppressed masses of all races. The Communist Party in every district, section and unit must see that the message of militant struggle against the lynchers is carried into every shop, into every neighborhood, into every rural district. Mobilize the workers in the revolutionary unions, in the reformist A. F. of L. unions, Members of the A. F. of L. and other unions, and all organizations where workers gather, should be brought into the united front against lynching, against the lynch verdict. ‘The International Labor Defense, which has led the fight for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys, has @ special responsibility in the mobilization for Satur- day’s demonstrations. UNDAY’S emergency conference in New York City decided to set aside next Saturday, December 9, as a day of nation-wide mass protest against the Scoits- boro lynch verdicts.
