The Supreme Courts of the States of Alabama and Georgia have brushed aside the overwhelming evidence of the inno- cence of the Scottsboro boys and Angelo Herndon and have refused to reverse the yicious verdict against these victims of class and National oppression. The fact that the trials of Herndon and the Scottsboro boys reeked with prejudice, the fact that the most elementary rights of the working class and the Negro people were trampled underfoot— all this means nothing to the highest legal tribunals of these two Southern States. ‘The International Labor Defense presented evi- dence for the Scottsboro boys. One-tenth of this evidence would have been sufficient in the ordinary course of a legal case, to warrant the freeing of the prisoners. Yet in the face of all this, the Alabama Supreme Court cynically states: “We find Ro error to reverse.” Sentence of death has again been passed against two of the Scottsboro boys. Angelo Hern- don, heroic young leader of the white and Negro workers of Atlanta, after two years of torture in jail, is on his way to the chain-gang. HE plan to murder the Scottsboro boys and T Angelo Herndon is the answer of the rulers and the ir courts to the rising rebellion of the white workers and the Negro people. Against the misery of this rotten capitalist system a wave of strikes has been sweeping the country. North and South, East and West, workers of all races and nationali- ties have struck against the denial of their rights, against the slavery imposed on them by the “New Deal” and the N.R.A. Bullets, tear-gas, and ma- chine-guns, all the forces of the government and the employers, have not been able to stop the workers and the Negro people. The Southern workers, especially, have struck against the vicious wage differentials. In answer to these mass struggles, the govern- ment*of the landlords, factory-owners, and bank- ers, plan to throw into our faces the charred bodies of the nine Scottsboro boys, and the broken body of Angelo Herndon, done to death on the murderous Georgia chain-gang. The new decrees against the Scottsboro boys and Herndon say plainly to the Negro masses: ‘You have no rights. You are servants and under- lings. You must stay in the place assigned you. If you protest, you will face the chain-gangs, the prisons, and the electric chair. The decisions against Angelo Herndon and the Bcottsboro boys are a danger signal for every worker, every toiling farmer, every honest intel- lectual in the United States. These* decisions in- volve far more than ten people. Fascist organi- zations of the kind that are murdering our class brothers in Germany, are springing up all over the country. The menace of fascism in America in- creases day by day. Such cases as these of Scotts- boro and Herndon are the testing ground for fas- cism in the United States—the first feelers put out by the Brown Beast. Just as Hitler, to suppress the German masses, incites murder against the Jews, so the American rulers, to keep the workers divided, to divert them from the thought of their starvation and suffering, to confuse them and keep them from joining in solidarity against their common foe, lynches and burns in the electric chair the Negro workers. ‘The United States today is in upheaval. The class lines are tauter, the issues are more sharply drawn. The measures of oppression are more vicious. . * . MEET this situation, we must have a mightier mass movement than ever before. ‘Those who would betray the working class and the Negro people—the misleaders of the N.A.A.C.P., of the Socialist Party, of the A. F. of L., and of other organizations of this type—will tell us: The Supreme Court will save the Scottsboro boys and Angelo Herndon. Yes, we will take these cases before the Supreme Court. But this counsel to put reliance in the ruling class courts is given to weaken the organized campaign of the white and ‘Negro toilers to force the freedom of these victims. ‘There must be no illusions about the Supreme Court. The last Scottsboro decision by this highest court refused to consider a single one of the burn- ing issues involved in the case—the issues of prin- ciple. It refused to pass on the question of the right of Negroes to serve on juries. Since that time, it has refused to consider the same question as raised in the case of George Crawford, another ‘Negro framed in the State of Virginia. Only the mightiest mass movement, the most determined action by white and Negro toilers, can force the Supreme Court, which is the supreme legal agent of the white rulers, to hand down a decision favor- ing the Scottsboro boys and Angelo Herndon. The Supreme Courts of Georgia and Alabama, with the full support of the national government, of Roosevelt, of the New Deal regime, has by these decisions spat in the face of the Negro people and the white working class. It has trampled underfoot all our rights and refused as much as. to listen to our demands. What must be our answer? The Communist Party calls upon all organizations of workers and of the Negro people, on all honest, sincere intel- Jectuals; on all those willing to fight against op- pression; to give unconditional support to the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and the Inter- national Labor Defense in the fight to free the Scottsboro boys and Angelo Herndon. In every city, broad united fronts should be organized; con- ferences should be called to plan the fight for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys and Herndon and for Negro rights in a campaign that shall draw in thousands of workers never reached before. United front committees must lead this struggle—workers, farmers and intellectuals of every nationality, creed, t DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY ,JULY 11, 1934 SS and political belief must be drawn upon to form these Scottsboro-Herndon committees. Into the streets with demonstrations and pro- tests. Shout into the ears of the murderers: “The Scottsboro boys shali not die! Angelo Herndon shall not be done to death on your chain-gang! They must live and they must be freed!” The Bridgeton Stirke IVE hundred farm and cannery workers at Bridgeton, New Jersey, are fighting terrorism and reactionary repression in their struggle against the wealthy land- lord-farmer, Charles F. Seabrook. This struggle of agricultural workers in New Jersey is of more than local im- por The Seabrook Farms are the largest corporation farms in the East. Agricultural work- ers are among the most exploited in the country. The beginning of militant struggles by the agri- cultural proletariat, who have been isolated from the labor movement, marks the advance of the struggles of the entire working class. The Bridgeton strike is being led by a class struggle union, the Agr cultural and Cannery Work- ers Industrial Union, affiliated to the T. U. U. L. It is this which frightens the big farmers like Sea- brook who pay their labor 5 to 17 cents an hour. The central problem in this important strike is to cement the unity of the farm laborers and the small farmers of the surrounding countryside. It has been a weakness of this strike thus far that insufficient efforts have been made in this direction. The rich farmers and businessmen have been making feverish efforts to win the support of the small farmers and direct these impoverished farm- ers against the strikers in all kinds of “vigilante” committees, etc. But the small farmers and being robbed and plundered by the Seabrooks almost as much as the farm workers. The rich farmers are crushing the small farmers through beating down the prices, through mortgage usury, through buying up of delinquent tax claims. The small farmers are being crushed to the wall by the Seabrooks and the rich farmers and local banks. Therefore, it is necessary for the Strike Com- mittee to strive to weld the strongest unity with the surrounding farmers. Demands for the small farmers should be formulated and supported by the strikers. The splendid militancy of the strike has called forth a most vicious campaign of terrorism and “ved-baiting.” The K.K.K. has been mobilized. Donald Henderson, Elinor Henderson, Vivian and Lief Dahl, militant strike leader, have been seized on “conspiracy” charges. Hired thugs are slugging pickets. Workers in the cities, farmers in other sections, and liberal groups must give this strike immediate support. Still No Answer on the United Front T IS inspiring news that comes from France on the remarkable outpouring of Socialist and Communist workers in mighty United Front anti-Fascist demon- strations. In Paris alone more than 30,000 Social- ist and Communist workers, clasped hands in working class solidarity against the monster of fascist reaction. And all over France, in cities and towns, similar unity is being welded in action, in common solidar- ity against the menace of Fascism. What is to prevent this working class united front from being realized in this country? The Communist Party, U.S.A. just like its brother Party in France, has issued repeated united front calls to the Socialist Party on the basic issues now confronting the working class in the fight against fascism and imperialist war. Only several weeks ago, the Central Committee of the Communist Party addressed an open letter of invitation to the newly-elected “left wing” Executive Committee of the Socialist Party pro- posing united action against the approach of fas- cism in this country, for the freedom of Thaelmann and all anti-fascist fighters. Up to the present moment this call for a dis- cussion of United Front actions against fascism in the United States has been received in cold silence. : . . pees not the leadership of the Socialist Party wish to discuss united front actions? Is it willing to take the responsibility for a divided working class in the face of a rapidly advancing fascist reaction in this country? Is it not inter- ested in fighting for the liberation of Thaelmann and the thousands of anti-fascist fighters in the hell-dungeons of Fascist Germany? Surely, one must be blind not to see in the growing violence and police brutality, in the ob- viously advancing march of jingoism and “red- baiting” chauvinism, the approach of fascist reac- tion in this country. Why then does not the Socialist Party act? The Socialist Party leadership has been in the habit of telling the workers that all united front action with Communists is impossible. But does not the splendid example of France prove quite the contrary? Does it not show that all that is necessary for united front actions is the willingness of the Socialist Party to agree to such action, a willingness which Socialist workers are showing to an increasing degree? Where is the Revolutionary Policy Committee of the S, P.? Where are the “Militants?” Why do they not demand action in reply to the call of the Communist Party Central Committee? . . * ERE is no time to lose. The united front of the working class is not a scholastic question for endless debate. It is a life and death matter which will determine whether or not the beast of fascism will take its bloody and terrible toll of the flesh and blood of the working class. Let every worker, especially in the Socialist Party locals, face the question of immediate steps toward the organizing of united front actions with Communists. In the A. F. of L. unions, with the use of fascist tactics by the bureaucrats, there must be the organization of a united front movement of all workers, regardless of political affiliation, against the growing terrorism, not only within the unions, but against strikers, picket lines, demonstrations, etc., all over the country. For it is just with such brutality against workers everywhere that fascism advances and strengthens itself. The working class must not yield an inch to this terrorism. There must be united front action against it. In the A. F. of L. locals, it is the duty of Communists and other class-conscious workers to bring this issue boldly to the front.

On the World Front By HARRY GANNES A Prince and Socialism Chemists Against War “Sedition” in England Jesus on Markets OCIALIST leaders Sweden do whatever they can to help popularize the de- generate ruling family. That King Gustav V, a multimil- lionaire and one of the richest men of the country, gets his wealth from the exploitation of hundreds of thousands of workers, bothers them not’ at all. On the occasion of the birthday of Prince Wilhelm, Duke of Soder- maniand, June 17, the offical organ of the Socialist Party of Sweden, “Social Demokraten” printed whole columns of bootlicking praise for the prince. ree eee EY talk of the prince “who has gained a literary position inde- pendent of princely pedigree. He is a man for himself and he is hon- ored very highly in all circles, Simi- lar to his brother, the crown prince, he has, by his personal endeavor and goodness and devotion to his work, earned the good will and love of the people and the nation,” and so on, to a sickening degree.

One ae | | Goad § at a meeting of over 200 chemists in Athens, Greece, when a motion was put to join the anti-fascist united front, 40 votes were cast in favor of the motion. The reactionary leaders of this or- ganization, all of whose members belong to the Greek Academy of Science, tried everything possible to avoid a vote on the question. When the chairman declared dur- ing the sessions of the scientific con- gress that they would now devote their attention to the subject of poison gas and preparation for war, cries of “Down with war!” shook the hall. The chairman was forced to allow an anti-fascist to address the meeting on the struggle against war and fascism. * -” * i ter sedition bill in England is de- signed as the most vicious fascist attack on the British workers yet undertaken, and under the disguise of prohibiting anti-war propaganda among the armed forces is a direct blow to all Marxist-Leninist agita- tion and education. For example, Mr. Stanley Unwin, of the pub- Ushing firm of George Allen & Un- win, Ltd., which publishes a num- ber of revolutionary works of Marx and Engles, recently wrote about ihe sedition bill as follows: “4S the publisher of English edi- tions of the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (is- sued by my predecessors more than fifty years ago) I am per- manently in ion of “sedi+ tious literature. As successor to the Swarthmore Press I issue much Quaker literature consider- ed highly objectionable by army authorities.

But when are such Acts ever ad- ministered wisely, and what value can be attached to assurances given in Parliament by Ministers anxious to get their own way?

Has Not Changed, Its Role More Obvious By HARRY HAYWOOD ARTICLE It. E N.A.A.C.P. could do no other than it did in the case of George Crawford. From its noble phrases and high promises, it ar- rived at this shameful treachery as surely and inevitably as a man Sliding steadily ; = downhill will ar- rive at the bot- tom. There were years when the treachery of the NAACP. was not* so obvious, But the policy of the organiza- tion has not * changed. It is the situation in °™*Y Maywood which i functions that has changed. The capitalist world is in upheaval. On the one hand there are the revolutionary work- ers, and their allies, the oppressed peoples and nations, fighting with every weapon for their freedom, for full equality, for land, for the right to self-determination. On the other Policy of Organization) seeing their system crumbling, using more terror, more oppression, more cruelty than ever before against the people they must keep under control in order to retain mastery of the earth, The struggle grows fiercer, the light grows clearer, and we see the combatants for what they are. Twenty-five years ago, the mincing words, the half-measures, the compromises of an organization like the N.A.A.C.P. were not so easily seen in their true light. Today every hesitation, every treachery, stands out in bold relief. The struggle draws closer to its climax. : Two Roads The old world of wage-slavery and national oppression is fighting for its very life. There are but two roads and the Negro masses must choose between them. There is rio middle path. Every organization must stand forth clearly and pro- claim whether they would help to deliver the death-blow to the old way of life, and bring about a new way, or whether they will pit their forces with the present masters and help them live a while longer. The N.A.A.C.P. has answered this question. It has answered it most clearly in the case of Crawford, It is on the side of the old order, the capitalist system. It would not dis- turb the relations of the present. hand stand the oppressors—the landlords, factory-owners, bankers is the agent of the . It is dependent on the white rulers—witness Houston's statement that “the very existence of the N.AA.C.P.” depends upon the “good-will of the dominant ma- jority”—that is, of the American ruling class. The N.A.A.C.P. acted as it did in tye case of George Crawford, because it could act in no other way. The Way Out Against the treachery of the NAA.CP., the revolutionary work- ing-class organizations of white and Negro people come forward with a Policy of struggle. The Communist Party, the International Labor De- fense, the League of Struggle for Negro Rights — and others — say Plainly: The oppression of the Negro people is part and parcel of the whole system of capitalism. The capitalists will not give up their Profits without a bitter fight. There is but one way out for the Negro people— the way of militant, un- compromising struggle, in alliance with the revolutionary white work- ing class, under the leadership of the Communist Party. The treachery of the N.A.A.CP. in Virginia is not the backsliding of an honest but confused group. The Crawford treachery is the in- evitable outcome of the class posi- as the struggle becomes fiercer. tion of the N.A.A.C.P. leadership, This treachery will repeat itself, over and over, in yet sharper forms, N.AA.GP.

On the other hand there is the road of passivity, of agreement with the policies and systems of the lynchers. This road will help keep the old world of op- pression and slavery in the saddle @ while longer. To the Negro people, to the white workers willing to fight for Negro freedom, we say: Join the organiza- tions that struggle uncompromising- ly for the rights of the Negro work- ers, Join the Communist Party, the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, the International Labor De- fense, the revolutionary trade unions. Build a broad united front mass defense movement for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys and Angelo Herndon, and for the ele- mentary rights of the Negro people! To the honest workérs and intel- lectuals in the N.A.A.C.P. we say: Denounce the treachery of your misleaders, the Houstons, the Wal- ter Whites, the DuBoises. Organize oppositions within the N.A.A.C.P. branches to fight this treachery. On the basis of concrete struggles for the immediate needs of the masses, the masses join with the workers The Negro people must choose.
