7 DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1934 Page 3 Amter Stresses the Real Issues in the Scottsboro Case Southern Lynchers Use Leibowitz as Tool Against Negro Negro Upsurge Communist Candidate for Governor Analyzes Aid of Renegade Lawyers and Negro Reformists to Southern Ruling Class By Israel Amter Communist Candidate for Governor of New York The shameful game that the Leibowitzes and Chamlees are playing in the Scottsboro case is clear and proved by the records. are typical products of a corrupt capitalist society. But this need astonish nobody. These people The Leibowitzes have no other principles except to make money and to get laurels, which can bes transformed into money. Leibowitz, who, as a famous gangster lawyer, made hundreds of thousands of dollars—without doubt he is a very able criminal lawyer, able in every regard—wants to play a political Tole. Perhaps he hopes to become a Supreme Court judge, or a Demo- cratic Party candidate for some) high position. All this is clear. That he is leading Chamlee, the Southern lawyer, like a dog on a Jeash can also be explained by defi- nite reasons, by the political cha- meleon character of Chamlee. But important as these types con- sider themselves to, be, they are in- teresting only as typical juridical products of this corrupt capitalist society. If one could criticize the International Labor Defense, one could do so only in this regard, that, despite the necessity to em- ploy legal specialists, versed in all of the forms and trickery of the capitalist courts, nevertheless the I. L. D. must be much more cau- tious in the employment of law- yers. We agree with the I. L. D. that it is very difficult in this cor- rupt society to say at any given moment what a lawyer, bound by a thousand threads to the capital- ist courts and law, will do and the greatest caution cannot sometimes prevent such Leibowitz and Cham- Jee incidents. Lenin wrote very often about these dangers con- nected with the necessity of em- ploying lawyers. The Main Issue But these types and their meth- ods are not the main question at the present stage of the Scottsboro case. Nothing would be more dan- gerous than to submerge the real essence of these attacks on_ the I. L. D. and the Communist Party in the necessity of unmasking the methods of these types. Much more important than the explanation of the shoddiness of such instruments as the Leibowitzes and the Chamlees is the necessity of making clear what really is at issue. What was and what is the issue in the Scottsboro case? The lives of nine Negro boys are chosen for extinction in the true manner of the Southern lynch-mad slavehold- ers, to prove to the Negroes that they have to remain a suppressed and “inferior” nation. With the killing of these boys, the Southern lyneh ruling class wants to demon- strate to the awakened Negro masses by the worst form of terror that the old spirit of the slavehold- ers is unbroken, living and power- ful. And as the treatment of the Negroes throughout the U. S., in- cluding the North, shows, this spirit is the policy of the entire ruling class, though in a more concealed form. The Issue of Negro Liberation What did the Communist Party and the I. L. D. do when the Scotts- boro case first began? With all their strength, with all their force and ability they took up the issue of the defense of the lives of the nine boys, and made it an issue of the liberation of millions of Negro lives; a matter of the liberation of the Negroes, and an offensive against the growing lynch terror to which ‘the Negroes are subjected. In this struggle, in the United States and in all countries of the world, millions of white and Negro people were drawn in. Ever greater Negro and white masses recognized that the liberation of the Negroes, the extinction of the slaveholding traditions, the annihilation of the pestilential stink of the suppression of the Negroes, this parallel to Hit- ler’s suppression of the Jews in Germany, against which a whole world is arising, is one of the most important tasks in the struggle for freedom of the American working class.

The liberation struggle of the Negroes is the ally of the proleta- rian revolution. This is becoming understood more and more by the white workers. At the same time \it is more consciously recognized by |the awakening Negro masses—that their struggle is inseparably con- nected with the struggle of the whole working class. Rulers Fear as Masses Learn |. The campaign around the Scotis- boro case has educated broad Negro masses, has opened their eyes to the truth that not by lying down and submitting, but only through the fiercest struggle lies the way to |freedom from race oppression. The Southern ruling class sees with anger and fear how thoughts of liberation of the Negroes are |breaking out in all strata of the toiling population of the United States. The whole American bour- geoisie sees with growing disturb- ance that the Negro question tears off the whole lying hypocritical mask of bourgeois democracy. The Scottsboro case has brought to a head this whole question in the most concentrated form. And so the bourgeoisie in the South, as well as in the North, would like to wrest the Scottsboro case from the heart and fists of the millions, They are afraid of the mobilization, the agitation. They want by all means to discredit in the eyes of the Negro masses the only Party, the Communist Party, that has written on its banners “The liberation of the Negro masses,” because this Party is the deadly enemy of this capitalist so- ciety which enslaves the Negroes, Seek to Stifie Upsurge By attempting this the ruling class utilizes such instruments as Leibowitz and professional mislead- ers of the Negroes, groups of Negro reformist preachers. With the help of such forces, they try to stop the mass mobiliza- tion for the Scottsboro boys. They strive to prevent, from every town and hamlet in the United States and throughout the world, the ris- ing cry: “America! What are you doing with these nine Negro boys!” The official lynchers are using the Leibowitzes and these cliques of Negro reformists to silence the growing upsurge of Negro and whites. They want to divert the attention, the watchfulness, the ac- tivity of the broadest masses against the lynchers and their lynch system. That the Leibowitzes, those poli- | ticians in the Democratic Party, in the traditional Party of slavery and lynching, play their role with the greatest pleasure is quite natural. Mr. Leibowitz is after all a Party friend of the Southern lynch offi- cials, Talmadge, Governor of Geor- gia, and Miller, Governor of Ala- bama. And we remember the old proverbs: One hand washes the other. One crow doesn’t pick out another crow’s eye. Birds of a feather flock together. But it is incredibly shameful that there are Negroes, themselves peo- ple of an oppressed nation, who of- fer themselves to play the role of a screen behind which the lynchers can carry on their dirty business. The Fight Goes On Tt was always the tactic of a sup- pressing class or nation to take from the ranks of the suppressed, through bribery and other means, foremen and overseers to ald them in supervising and oppressing their brothers. That is the role which is played now in the present stage of the Scottsboro case by groups of Negro reformists working with Lei- ‘bowitz and the Southern lynch offi- cials. This is a shameful treason to the cause of the liberation of the Negroes. But these gentlemen, and the Lei- bowitzes, and the true master minds in this whole game, the Southern lynchers, are mistaken. The strength of the attacks, the dirti- ness of their methods, the extent of their lying and cheating, show only one thing: that the movement for the liberation of the Negro masses and for the Scottsboro boys is marching on. Nobody can stop it. No criminal lawyers of this de- caying and stinking corrupt socie- ty; mo treacherous so-called Negro leaders, will be able to do it. The struggle for the liberation of the Scottsboro boys must be inten- sified. And we Communists say, loud and clearly: Yes, more masses, new millions, more demonstrations, more agitation, more awakening of white and Negro in this struggle. The Scottsboro boys must live. The cause of the liberation of the Ne- groes must be carried on. It is a difficult struggle, yes. But never in history was the liberation struggle of a class, or of a nation an easy one. Action in East Side and Williamsburg The City Committee of the} Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League | yesterday called upon all its posts to establish picket lines around the Home Relief Bureaus in their} neighborhood. Single veterans are being cut! from relief and are sent to Gray-| court, camp, formerly a prison farm,| where the veterans are compelled to work for a dollar a day. Post 204 has been picketing the Relief | Bureau in Wifliamsburg for the | ; Past two weeks, Last Monday Post 191 started to picket the Home Re- lief Bureau at Sheriff and Broome | Streets. Post 191 will hold a demonstra- tion at the Relief Bureau on Sher- iff and Broome Streets at 2 p, m. Friday, Nov. 2nd. All veterans on the lower East Side are asked tos participate in this demonstration and voice their protests in regard to veterans and ex-servicemen being sent to forced labor camps. This is the answer to President Roosevelt's statement in his Roa- noke speech that “veterans as a class were better off than the other sections of the population”—C.C.C. camps at thirty dollars a month, forced labor camps at six dollars a| week, transient bureaus at ninety cents a week, Veterans have been called upon! to answer this attack; to send let-| ters of protests to Mayor LaGuar- dia, Commissioner Hodson and the} New York State Veteran Welfare Department, demanding that no one, whether he be a veteran or a non-veteran, be sent to a forced la- bor camp. HandbagUnion Tax Revoked By Members A decision that the present tem- porary Management Committee shall remain in power until after the elections of new officers was adopted at the membership meet- ing of the International Pocketbook Workers Union, A. F. of L., on Mon- day night in Stuyvesant High School. First nominations for the election were made at the meeting. The meeting also decided to re- call the 15 per cent tax that has been decided on and to substitute for it a tax of $1 for mechanics and 50 cents for helpers, to be used | for aid to out-of-town strikes. | Special section membership meet- | ings of pocketbook workers will be held in the immediate future where nominations of candidates for the Joint Council and the election of Election Committees will take place. A resolution condemning Gold- man, the secretary of the union, for the activities conducted by him dur- ing the strike, was introduced by the workers employed in the Morris White shop. Quite a fight developed on the resolution, and it was re- ferred to the Joint Council. In accordance with the decision of the meeting, the elections will be conducted under the supervision of the American Civil Liberties Union and “leaders of the labor move- ment,’ The protests of the membership and its animosity to the old admin- istration clique prevented it from disturbing the meeting, as has been done by them at previous meetings of the union. Bedacht Will Speak For Milliners Tonight On Election Campaign New York, a forced tabor | “Why Millinery Workers Should Vote Communist,” will be the sub- ject of an address by Max Bedacht, Communist candidate for United States Senator, tonight at 6:30 be- fore the Locals 24 and 42, affiliated with the Millinery United Front Committee at 158 W. 44th Street. A puppet show by the Workers’ Laboratory Theatre will be presented following Bedacht’s speech. All millinery workers were urged by the United Front Committee to attend the meeting and to make efforts to ye friends and shop mates with em. Bakers Call Meeting For Saturday to Ratify Communist Candidates Locals 79, 505, 507, and 509 of the American Federation of Labor, Bak- ers Union, who have organized themselves into the Bakers Progres- sive Groups, will hold a ratification meeting to endorse all candidates of the Communist Party in the com- ing elections, at Irving Plaza at 4 P. M. on Saturday. Fred Biedenkapp, leader of the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union and Communist candidate for Judge of General Sessions, will address the meeting. The Bakers Progressive Groups urge all members of the Amalga- The Daily Worker is forced to; speak bluntly today to the I. W. O.| membership in New York. The I. W. O. is falling down | on the job! The Order has a quota of $3,500 in the Daily Worker’s drive for| $60,000—but with 17 branches, with approximately 15,000 members, it has completed only 44 per cent of its quota! The fault lies in every section—| |though some branches are proving constantly that serious effort brings results, In the Jewish section, 11) branches have gone over the top.| A number have also been success- ful in the Youth Section. But how bad the picture is may be seen from| a study of the Jewish section itself. Eleven branches have gone over the jtop, but the Jewish Section has more than 80! In this section, for instance, we .| have Branch 2 with a quota of $297. This branch has so far contributed $25! A step farther we find Branch | 3 with a quota of $130. This branch| his contributed nothing! And so on down the road! Branch | 4, $25 out of $117; Branch 6, $48| out of $140; Branch 7, $12 out of $103; Branch 24 has contributed nothing out of a quota of $105; Branches 53 and 63, nothing out of | quotas of $66 and $80; Branches 87,| 88, 89, 166 and five other branches— zero! Little from English Section Almost one-half of the branches} \in the English Section have con- tributed nothing. Branch 615 has turned in $14 of a quota of $157. Branch 504 has turned in $8—quota $110. Branch 500 has turned in $33| jon $118. In the Hungarian, Ukrainian, and Spanish sections we find only one contribution; the Slovak has made two; the Italian section has not turned in even one; 12 branches in the Youth Section are also in the zero boat. Contrast the conduct of the branches which are causing this | poor showing of the I. W. O. with |that of Branches 9, 60 and 154, for instance. “As class-conscious revolutionary workers, we are aware of our duty to the revolutionary press, our press, ment of Branch 9. This branch has already raised | $106. Tomorrow night it continues its good work.
