Meeting Tomorrow Protests Terror Against Negroes DETROIT, May 20.—A mass pro- test meeting will be held Tuesday, May 22, at 8 p.m. at Israel Baptist Chutch, 3900 Leland, to rally the Negro and white masses of this city against the terror dtive launched against the Negro people by the police and city officials. During the past week a widespread manhunt against Negroes has been started by | the police, following the charge of Southern white women living here that they had been slashed by a Ne- gro. James Victory, Negro worker, has already been “identified” by the women and is now held in jail on the outrageous bond of $50,000. In addition, 40 other Negroes were ar- rested and beaten up by special police.

Mae Wernick, a Y.C. L. organizer, and the only white person arrestéd, nearly died of her injuries. Pointdexter, Henry Coe, | Hampton, Smith, and Delia Page were also badly hurt and arrested.

A lying in- dictment, charging all six with 29 crimes, ineluding attémpt to mur- der, attempt to commit mayhem, and so on is brought in by the grand jury. Negroes Barred From Jury; Jews “Excused” The case dragged through the courts for over a year. Time after time, Negro and white workers packed the courtroom, putting mass pressure on the judges who had the preliminary hearings. On Monday, May 14, the case finally came for trial. The rotten juty-packitig tactics of the prosecution have been al- ready exposed in the Daily Worker. | Negroes were barred without cause. Jewish people were excused. Every Person who was receivitig relief Was prevented from serving. Mae Wernick was accused of breaking through a defense squad of nine cops sutrouniding Capt. Mooney and clubbing him with an ron bar 3% feet long, which she supposed to have concealed under her dress. Mae, who is very short, wore a dress 315 feet long that day. How she could have. concealed the | bar, and how she, small as she is, could have broken through the mass of husky police to attack | Mooney was not explained. Cop Admits Police Started Attack Many contraditions developed in the police stories of the fight. One of them, apparently not properly coached, admitted that the police began the attack. Different cops told different stories about who had what Weapons. Over 20 witnesses, including four white relief workers, one of them now a professor at Northwestern University, told the same story of an orderly meeting, no weapons | visible, atid a viciotis, unprovoked attack by police who had told the workers to go ahead and hold their | meeting. The jury was out 17 hours. When they returfed the courtroom was packed with police to prevent a demonstration ationg the workers present, all of whom had been searched. The verdict of capitalist ‘justice’ was, guilty on every one of the 22 counts, for every one of the six defendants. Miraculously, the jury decided that every one of the de- fendants did exactly the same things that day. Immediately the judge denied motion for a new trial and stay of judgment. He ordered bonds raised to $7,500 apiece. He passed sentence of one to five years, with a $750 fine. They were ordered to thé penitentiaty on May 23 pending appeal. Preparations for an appeal are under way. A mass campaign of protests to Al- legretti, to Governor Horner in Springfield is being organized and a flood of resolutions is desceriding upon the heads of these gentlemen. The IL.D. is raising funds to bail out the defendants and to carry the appeal onto the higher court.

Police attempted to establish fire lines around six square miles of threatened territory, anhouncing intéhtich to prevent anyone from entering this zone. These lihes were not kept because hundreds of workers poured throtigh them to Jend a hatid itt the fight to save their homes. In many cases these workers carried on the fight when the regular firemen fell, overcome by heat and smoke. The complete inadequacy of the city fire department was revealed by its inability to cope with the fire in its éafly stages. Long yedts of grafting at the expense of the efficiency of the department, and particularly the recent economy measures of the city administration, have cut the department to the bone. The same appliés to the city water system that completely failed to maintain adequate pressure on the hoses. Cases of heroism by firemen and volunteers Were reported by the dozen.

The fire, with its $25,000,000 loss, is just one incident in the wholesale destruc- tion of the drought that has ruined @ million poor farmers. It is also one more tribute to the “initia+ tive” and “private enterprise” that makes machinety more valuable than lives, that rejects “safety” measures When they are too ex- pensive, Misery and starvation are added to the hardship the homeless refu- gees are suffering. Herded about by throngs of police and National Guardsmen, they are desperately trying to find an answer to the question: “Where will we live? Where can we get food?” 1,100 Hurt in Fire A total of 1,100 people were hurt in the course of the fite. Flames were still faging this afternoon, though ‘they were under control.

Tugmen Reject Arbitration BUFFALO, May 20, — Tugboat men who walked out on strike here on May 17 turned down point blank an offer of the Regional Labor Board to turn the question over to arbitration. Shipping has been slowed up considerably. The Mariné Workers Industrial Union is supporting the strike 100 per cent and has issued a leaflet warhing the tugmen against relying on the Regiotial Labor Board and the A. F. of L. leaders. Seamen, through their militant action, won an ineréase in relief for the unemployed. They were getting 30 cents a day. Now they are get- ting 50 cents. The movement of the jobless seamen was led by the M.W.LU. Ryan Moves to Call Off N. Y. Strike NEW YORK.—Joseph P. Ryan, president of the International Longshoremen’s Association, man- euvered with the Regional Labor Board offizials to call off the strike of 200 longshoremen on the west side piers here. He has ordered the men to return to work today, pending a plebiscite to be held under the auspices of the Regional Labor Board which is to decide whether or not the men want a union. Nothing has been won by the strikers, who were not permitted by the L.A. officials to picket the piers: Yesterday longshoremen were dis- cussing the question of continuing the strike under rank and file lead- ership for increased wages and against the speed-up. eee ea not yet known what action Boris will take against the Macedonian movement which is directed against Jugo-Slavia.

P. Morgan & Company's General Electtie Com- pany, made the following “com- ment” on the supplementary re- port’s final paragraph: “Stripped of shadowy verbiage, this means that the choice of the American people is between Fas- cism and Communism, neither of which can be espoused by any- one who believes in our demo- eratic institutions of self-goverh- ment; nor can any public official who has taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States adopt or officially advo- cate such a program. The sup- plementary report demonstrated completely the prtopriety of my recommendation that the review board should be abolished.” Donald Richberg, N.R.A. General Counsel who recently described the N.R.A. as “counter-revolutionary,” in a report accompanying Johnson’s letters to Roosevelt and published together, denounced the Review Board as a “haphazatd, one-sided investigation.” The only thing that didn’t rile the N.R.A. officialdom was the re- port submitted by John F. Sinclair, who declared that “the inability to secure credit has been the major eatise in mafiy cases of extreme hardship. Armiple and safe credit, easily available, for the little man, is necessary to give him equality With his largest competitor.” Sin- clair recommended that “a Review Board of Appeal” be established by “Executive order, independent of the N.R.A.” This board, he wrote; should be “non-political,” some; thing never yet established in Washington or anywhere else. “Small Man” Doomed The N.R.A. Administrator was also disturbed by the Darrow- Thompson suggestion that industry should produce “for use and not for profit,” This part of the supple- mentary report, obviously, opposed the childish recommendation of the majority report, written by Charles Edward Russell, old-time reaction- ary Socialist Party celebrity, to go back to the anti-trust laws and “re- store” competition. “To go back to unregulated conipetition in which the small man can gain his share of the market by some special advantage of skill or other factor, is not pos- sible in a sitwation where techno- logical advance has produced a surplus so that unregulated com= petition demoralizes both wages and prices and brings on recurrent and inereasingly severe industrial depression.” The supplementary report said only by the fullest ‘use of productive capacity for the raising of standards of living of individuals and the community can a steady balance be achieved in an age of abundance, “This, however, is possible only when industty produces for usé and not for profit, since it is essential that enough wealth should be dis- tributed through the return to the workers to set them as constiiers free to use industry's plentiful out- put.” Few people expéctéd the Review Board to prodtice any excitement. Tt was created as a sop to the Nyé- Borah _little-busitiess-man faction in the Senate, to stop the Senatorial attacks on the monopoly character of the code setup. The $25-a-day Board members were expected to spend their energies in dull, sterile research. The demagogic language of the instructions—“ascertain and report to the President whether any code of codes of fait competition approved under the aiithority of the NRA. ate designed to promote Monopolies or to elithinate or op- press small enterprises or operate to discriminate against them, or will permit monopolies or monopo- listie pfacticés,” made it clear that the product of the Board was in- tended to be an anesthetic. Steel Monopoly The Review Board heard 113 com- plaints against 18 codes. Those re- ported on tonight concerned codes for the electrical manufacturing in- dustry, footwear, rubber manufac- turing, motion pictures, retail solid fuel, steel, ice, cleaning and dye- ing and bituminous coal. Code hear- ings from which recommendations have not been drafted include pe- troleum, lumber and lumber prods) ucts, Wood case lead pencil, as- bestos, motor vehicle retailing, saw and steel products. “A more superficial, | intemperate, and inaecufate docu-/| ~ WILLIAM FUCHS ¢) Met at Sunrise! WO or three weeks ago, in the course of confounding the unrégenerate, I tiekled the intellectuals who econduét the metropolitan sports Coluitins. I meditated that they were a hot and dazzling bunch and gave an example in the case of Mr. Hugh Bradley, of the I also rémarked tipon a sump-* tuous banquet given to Mr. Jack Curley, in testimony to his sufferings for humanity. This little lectiire, delivered with the utmost solicitousness, has been taken to heart by Mr. John Lardhéf, whose syiidicated column is one of the jewels in thé diadém of the Post, a newspaper Whose virtues are manifest by thé fact that Oswald Garrison Villard, when he sheds his blood, wants to shed it on the Post's pages. Mr. Lardner is a young man of culture, tact and ideas, and he has answered me with garlands and humor. It is evident that he understands what “broad and basic” criticism, as he calls mine, is, It is unfortunate, theréfore, that because he works in the jungle, he must look out for the wild life. Particularly must one wriggle and jump hither and thither if one is writing for a newspaper which nourishes the liberal, like the Post. I am an old-timer and my beard comes down to my khéés, aiid I do not like to speak condescend- ingly; but I must poirit out to Mr. Lardner one or two defects and omissions in his essay, which he, being an enlightened man, nitst allow. Se ROR K THE first place, let us consider my felicitous reference to Mf. Bradley, who is the sports editor of the Post. I related that Mr. Bradley had eoinimended the désire to win, no matter by what hook or which crook. Mr. Bradley had boasted (I quoted) that to Amefica belonged the credit for discovering how best to put “a game on ice” by beforehand attangeméit. This, I averred—and if I am wrong, hang me—is far from a sportsmanlike sentiment. It has some of the glow of the néwspapers which advise their readers not to bet on fights and priht the odds on the horse races. The Stn, for instance, which surely wants none of its readers to go to a gambler’s grave, reported on the day of the opéning of Bel- mont that society had mixed with the touts, thus giving the impres- sion that any tout was as good as a society leader, and that, in fact, serving an apprenticeship as a tout was a good way of getting into society. Mr. Bradley's state- merit, I said, was typical of the ideology of his colleagues; though one or two of them, of course, would never agree to anything like it. But Mr. Lardvér had nothing to sdy abotit iny reférence to Mr. Bradley; ahd Mr. Bradiey; natu- rally, has maintained a dignified silence, pepe ae MY CRITICISM, implied Mr. Lard- ner, was as penetrating as some of the “broad ahd basic” criticism which is publishéd in the “Letters to the Editor” departrients. I do not know whether he thus intended to put me, an old American Mer- cury reader, in the proper stratum. But -five years ago @ letter, written probably by a crooked and dis- gruntled matchmaker or manager, and heaping ealumhy upon the men whose names head the most impor- tant svorts columns in the New York papers, was circulated through this city’s newspaper offices. It was @ perfect stool-pigeon document, and whether what it said of each personage was true or not is of no moment in the whole nk and impoverished picture of American Sports writing. Post, of their lofty thinking. But how many of the sports writ- ers in New York mentioncd it? It painted a scene which is common- place in the thoughts of every sports writer in this country. Not only among the sports writers, but even the customers accépt as fact the rumors that are circulated about the business of sports journalism. Col- lier’s once printed a little article by a hero of the ring about these things. He later endeavored to re- treat but the damage had already been done. Indeed, if a certain famous columnist, at that time the sports authority for Collier’s, had not deleted from the article (So I am told), the fire and brimstone would have been excruciating. I was in Penrisylvania, covering some fighter’s training camp, when I first heard the letter mentioned in polite company. It was mentioned only because one of the luminaries among the sports columnists had guardedly referred to it. Thosé of my colleagues who discussed it were sorrowful that it_should have béeén openly noticed. They considered it a dirty trick, indeed: The one who openly noticed it was Mr. Paul Gallico. Mr. Gallico used it as an occasion to impress upon the News readers that all the men on their favorite home news- paper were honest to the core and that while he lived no ball club would ever pay their expenses. One could see him striding up and down his office, beatitig his breast proudly and making speeches. But he did reveal that there were few news- papermen who could kick a hundred dollar bill in the face; ahd he did remark that managing editors wére seldom unaware of what was going on. Why is it that the tom-toms aren’t beaten in order to dispel some of the illtisions that the in- fidels create? . = 8 R LARDNER credits me with being “sturdy and cynical” and oe of his paragraphs is entitled, “Sports Writing Manhandied.” Yet, Mr. Lardner is careful not to em- phasize any agreement with my text. He can claim immunity either way. He progresses, without further ado, to analyze a few fluffy sen- tences that q included. . * LL, however, is not milk and honey, and Mr. Lardner scores up an error for the opposition (me) in his conclusion. I had hinted that Mr. Curley’s monsters were not ex- actly the type of idols that children should be taught to worship. “It’s been the custom” (writes Mr. Lard- ner, meaning the newspapermen), “to inform the public that there are better shows eight times a day in any zoological garden.” But Mr. Lardner iterates there is no point in quibbling with me and I re- Sponded that there is no point in quibbling with him. In the sate paper his article appeared in we find proof of what he says. On May 7, the Post de- voted almost a qiiatter of a page to pictures and a story about the wrestling that night. The follow- itig Week the Post ran a 4-column, 4-inch cut of the participants in that evening’s bout and an accom- panying story. But I do not begrudge Mr. Curley space. What I want to point out is that in addition to the Post, the Sun printed articles, of equal length, on both bouts, and went the other newspapers one better. The signed aricle on the second affair was polished off with a superior dig at those naive enough to think that wrestling bouts are faked.
