Page Four Negro Misleaders Exposed As Aides of Writer Apes Boss Class In Attacks Hurls Insulting Terms At Negro Masses, Hits At Scottsboro Defense By CYRIL BRIGGS | In an article in the August issue of the “liberal” American Specta- | tor, the Negro people are con-| témptuously referred to as “blacka- moors,” the Southern lynch courts | ardently defended, a Scottsboro de- fense attorney denounced for | “challenging the fairness of the | Alabama courts and attacking the exclusion of Negroes from juries,’ and an “amazing forbearance” | claimed for the Alabama lynchers in the face of such “provocation.” The author of the article sneers at the world-wide mass fight of mil- lions of white and Negro workers and intellectuals for the freedom of the Scottsboro Boys, for the trampled rights of the Negro people He paints, with undisguised delight and sadistic relish, a picture of nine young “blackamoors” being “fired in the electric chair, “baked in their cells or broiled at a stake,” and glee- fully predicts defeat for the heroic efforts of the world working class and its allies to rescue them. The author’s attitude leaves no doubt that he is keenly disappointed at what he alleges to be a display of “amazing forbearance” on the part of the lynchers. Striking Similarity to Callahan's Charge to the Jury This vicious attack on the Scotts- boro defense, the Negro masses and their allies among the white toilers, might well have been written by the notorious Ku Kux jurist, Judge Callahan, who clamored for the blood of the Scottsboro Boys in the | Decatur, Ala., lynch court last No- vember. Indeed, it contains a striking similarity to Callahan’s charge to the jury. But—let those prepare for a shock who do not yet | realize the shameful role of assistant lynchers and social props of the jim- | crow lynch system being played by the Negro reformist leaders. The article is by George Schuyler, Ne- gro writer, who in his weekly col- umn in the Pittsburgh Courier, un- official mouthpiece of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, attacks the Scotts- boro defense with a regularity and viciousness only equalled by the lynchers themselves. Sinks Deeper Into Mire and | Treachery Eugene Gordon recently painted | a word picture of Schuyler, in which he depicted him as a modern Hand- kerchief Head, a “gentleman’s Ne- gro,” an Uncle Tom today, and “an ideal tool in the hands of those who desire his services enough to pay for them. Gordon did not exag- gerate. In his article in the Amer- | ican Spectator, Schuyler sinks still | deeper into the mire of treachery. Schuyler’s article is revealing. Not in the sense that it unmasks an already c¢ sed renegade and tool of the lynchers, but that it brings out more clearly than ever the lengths to which the upper class Negro misleaders will go in service to the lynchers, and further exposes intellectual and moral His slanders against the International Labor Defense and the Communists have long been recognizable as the arguments of the lynchers, peddled by their lackeys. The epithets of “blackamoors,” etc., which he hurls at the Negro masses | in his article in the American | Spectator are likewise from the ar- senal of the lynchers. | Formeriy Courted Leibowitz | It is significant that Schuyler now includes Samuel Leibowitz who, a few short months ago was being courted and praised by the mislead- ers, among the objects of his at- tac Under the caption, “Samuel | Leibe Jonah in Modern Dress,” Schuyler writes: “The Scottsboro Boys have been Jonahed. Properly defended they might ere this have:been Pull- man porters, jazz band players or Jaborers for the C.W.A.” Why this sudden change of front on the part of the misleaders toward Leibowitz? Leibowitz carried out in the Deca- | tur court room the militant defense policies of the IL.D. .With Joseph | Brodsky, chief of the I.L.D. legal | staff, attacked the hideous | frame-up of nine innocent Negro | children. The LL.D. attorneys ripped | the lid from the monstrous system of jim-crow oppression and plunder- | ing of the Negro masses, out of | Which the frame-up arose. The! ILD. attorneys fought relentlessly | at every point for every right that | the State of Alabama had denied the Negro people. For this Schuyler attacks Leibo- | witz. The I.L.D., attorneys, he says, | should have kowtowed to the South- | ern lynch courts, “played upon” | their pretenses of “virtue, chivalry | | alistie program, when fase!

His full statement | is therefore of political importance The text follows: By GEORGE BRUNSWICK Sec’y Y.P.S.L.; Treas. Y.P.S.L.; former Executive Com. member, S.P. Hartford; delegate to Continental Con- gress, Washington, D. C. former local, To the Daily Worker: Dear Comrades: The results of the Socialist Party Convention in Detroit, June 1-3, prompt me to withdraw from the SP. and Y.P.S.L, No concrete program, based on revolutionary principles, was adopted. The burning issues of present day working class struggle. namely the fight against fascism, the building of the united front, | were practically ignored by the S.P.| leadership. Much “left” talk pres vailed and phrase-mongering to the ninth degree by the so-called mili- tants, headed by Thomas and Hoan who covered up very effectively any | genuine attempts to press forward a real revolutionary program. Squash United Front The same policy of working hand in hand with the A. F. of L. bu- reaucrats still remained. The Mc- Levy, Sharts, Lees, ete. still re- main. When Socialist mayors en- | dorse the beating up of unemployed workers, when Socialist candidates for public office endorse a nation-| Ss en- dorse the S.P. candidates, as in Pennsylvania, it is high time for every honest revolutionary worker | to leave such a patty. For here in America we see the S.P. openly fol-| - lowing the line of the Social-Dem- | ocracies of Germany and Austria. | The resolution dealing with the united front was referred to the N.| EC. This automatically withholds | the rank and file of the S.P. from| entering any united front, even as| members of other organizations, without the consent of the N.EC.| I have always opposed this gag- | tule policy and have always ad- vocated the united front. The constitution of the S.P. still remains the same, with only BOMIE:| Trewording of a few meaningless Phrases. Any person who signs an| pean card can become a mem- | r. | Aid A. F. of L. Bureaucracy the same role as the Social-Democ- racies in Austrian and Germany by refusing united action by the en- tire working class. Instead of join- ing the American League Against War and Fascism, the S.P. is at- tempting to form its own anti-wa: organization and viciously attacking | the A.L.WF. This is just another | example of the splitting tactics of | the S.P., whose chief purpose can only be to divide the strength of the working tlass. Through mili- tant action by the rank and file of S.P. locals and Y.P.S.L. circles, in spite of the leadership, delegates were elected and sent to the US. Congress Against War, Tom Moon Congress in Chicago and the Unit Front for National Youth Day in which Y.P.S.L.ers participated. Only the unity of the workers, farmers. intellectuals, professionals, etc., will crush the power of the few capital- | sts who own and control the life of the nation. Then we can estab- lish a classless society for the good and welfare of all who work, in short, a Soviet America. I do not recollect the S.P. ever | taking the initiative in united front activity, but always sabotag- | ing all attempts for unity of the workers. Facts prove that the Communist Party has taken the initiative for a united front. always Expel Militant Workers Scores “Left Talk” and Phrase-Mongering at Recent Convention represent the revolutionary youth here. Winston Dancis, National Secre- tary of the Y.P.S.L. took into his gan of the S.P. and Y.P.S.L. by send- ing ultimatums to the editor and others on the editorial staff, ete., demanding their immediate with- drawal from participation in its publication. Dancis was answered that he was trying to break up the militant left wing of the Y.P.S.L. and that in spite of all his man- euv the “United Struggle” would continue. Dancis dared not go any further. Noah Walters and _ Bill Gomberg, national leaders of the Y.P.S.L., broke up the Connecticut Valley Federation of the Y.P.S.L. in fear of a real struggle against the Y.P.S.L. bureaucracy through the unity of the rank and file in New England. Arnold Freeze, part of the McLevy machine and State Secretary of the Connecticut S.P., a former State Trooper and factory superintendent, stated that he was opposed to or- ganizing the unemployed as it was too much trouble. He also helped smash the strike of workers at the Norwalk Tire Company with the aid of James Egan, Secretary of State Federation of Labor (A. F. of L.). In Bridgeport, the Socialist city, Mayor MeLevy, former N.E.C. mem- ber, instigated the police into beat- ing up unemployed and C.W.A. workers who demonstrated for wages due them and against wage- cuts. The American Civil Liberties Union and the International Labor Defense joined in defense of the workers who were arrested for As to the youth question, the| Y.P.S.L. has followed in the steps | of its parent organization, the S.P. The left wingers, George Smirken, | Sol Larks, Diana Wolman, Burnard Mishkin, Chase, and others were ex- pelled because they fought for the united front, because they had cour- age enough to defy the reactionary N.E.C. and take part in the workers struggles with the Y.C.L. The Fighting Vet | Ry H. FE. BRIGGS ULY 28th is an important day, a red-letter day, for the rank and file veterans of America. Two years ago today, two young men who were once ready to sacrifice their lives for the greed-inspired slogans of Wall Street met death at the hands of Chief Pelham D. Glassford’s police, on Pennsylvania Ave. Wash- ington, | ‘This was their reward for doing their duty in 1918. In ail inno- cence, they had come to Washing- |ton to petition the Great White Father for their overdue back pay, commonly called the “Bonus.” |'These two young men, Hushka and |Carlson became the symbol of the | struggle against the hypocrites who sit under the gilt-edged dome on Capitol Hill. Every vet who was in Washington then or since (and |there were 35,000 in 1932) took a solemn pledge to avenge the death |of Hushka and Carlson by waging jan uncompromising and unceasing __|struggle for the Three-Point Pro- | gram, It wiped out the trust in all the Behe in the American Legion, | | VFW, DAV. It became an inspira- |tion to build a real rank and file | Ex-Servicemen’s League. It gave |impetus to the rank and file move- jment of ex-servicemen in America. \It strengthened the bord between jthe ex-servicemen and their fellow workers. No longer would the vet- Jerans be divided by the talk that they had nothing in common with |the rest of the working class. Bul- lets instead of dividing the vet- |erans, cemented their solidarity. | Today, throughout the Unitel | States, wherever two or more rank jand file vets gather, the main topic | hands the task of trying to kill the|or conversation centers sbout the | “United Struggle,” the left wing or-|neroic death of Hushka and Carl- |son, and a renewed determination |never to rest until THE IMMEDI- ATE PAYMENT OF THE BONUS, ACT AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN- | SURANCE IS WON.

American Federation of Labor leaders, leaping to the snap of the N.R.A, whip, have promised to or- ganize labor battalions for the front when the bands begin to play and the mobilization orders are given. Indeed, the top leaders of the A. F. of L, never make a move with- out consulting a government agency on the policy to be pursued. A. F. of L, Leaders With N.R.A. The tying up of the A. F. of L. leadership with the capitalist gov- ernment has been completed under the aegis of the New Deal. The aim of the N.R.A. is now to bind the workers to the will of these leaders, which is the will of Ameri- can imperialism. Social-chauvinism, “the defending of one’s fatherland,” is the philoso- phy that is being preached in all top A. F. of L. councils. Out of this philosophy flows the repudia- tion of the class struggle in war time, the abandonment of the strike weapon and complete submission to the imperialist war lords. Building up a strong resistance against the war propaganda that is being peddled in the unions at the present time by leaders who shout for support of the N.R.A. is jone of the first tasks of militant |rank and file members. Every lead- er who calls on union members to ‘ “The Right to Work Act.” SEC. 2.

Militants in the unions should continually raise the question of the war danger in the locals. Reso- lutions on the refusal to transport war materials, resolutions pledging the defense of the Soviet Union, resolutions against war and fascism should be discussed and brought up for a vote in every union in the country. But resolutions alone will not smash the bosses war. It takes ac- tion to do that.

PURO The militant farmers of the United States met in the First Na- tional Convention of the United Farmers League, in Minneapolis, Minn., at the end of June. Delega- tion consisted of 142 delegates and fraternal delegates from 14 states. The Convention met at a time when tremendous drought had followed | Roosevelt's destruction program. Convention reports and discus- sion gave a thorough analysis of the position of the impoverished farm- ers since the beginning of the ag- ricultural crisis and especially pic- turing the ruinous efforts of the combined industrial and agrarian crisis during the last four and a half years. New Deal Exposed Roosevelt's New Deal destruction and its development into the com- pulsory fascist measures, exem- plified by the Bankhead Bill, which especially affects the poor Negro and white sharecroppers in the South, driving tens of thousands of them from their lands, was fully exposed, as an aid for bankers, monopolies and big farmers and landlords, The Convention outlined as one of the main tasks of the movement of the impoverished farmers, to fight and defeat the New Deal measures, In this connection dele- gates unanimously endorsed the proposal of the Executive Council, to give unqualified support for the Farmers Emergency Relief Bill, Jaunched by the Communist Party and already endorsed by the Ex- ecutive Council of the League. Clarification of the Program Very interesting discussion de- veloped in the new program of the United Farmers League, which the Executive Council has submitted for the Convention in draft form. Some Communist delegates raised the question in the Program Commit- tee on two important points: (1) Demanding the outright endorse- ment of the Communist Party in the program; (2) Demanding in- clusion into the program of the revolutionary way out—workers’ and farmers’ government. Campaign for Farmers Emergency Relief Bill The Farmers Emergency Relief Bill also should be distributed widely among all toiling farmers, no mat- ter what organization they belong to, and the broad campaign for the endorsement and enactment of this Bill should be carried on in connec- | tion with the preparation of the farmers relief marches. It is to be | understood that we must demand | the passage of the F.E.R.B. in its original form and not in the weak- ened for introduced by Congressman | Carpenter. Farmers National Weekly, the or- gan of the toiling farmers, and the most effective weapon in mobilizing | farmers into action for their imme- diate demands, can be made a real mass paper with the circulation of a hundred thousand, if systematic attention is apid to building the circulation for it. The decisions of the National | Convention of the United Farmers League can be carried out and the much broader influence of the Com- munist Party among the toiling strata of the farmers achieved, pro- vided that the Party in every dis- trict, section 4d locality will really undertake to give leadership for our work among the farmers, Earn Expenses Selling the “Daily” i 1 | —— Red Buil If you “T want 2: |] Swerters $1; Aprons 400; |] Caps 20c; cash with order; |] send sizes. postpaid. | CHICAGO | 2019 West Divsiion St. NEWARK 7 Charlton st.
