At the last meeting of the local sponsoring committee, its first en- larged session, A. A. Towns, a mem- ber of the executive board of the Birmingham Trades Council, did his utmost to break up the meeting, After the report of the secretary, Towns challenged the right of the committee, which is composed most- ly of trade unionists, to meet in union halls. He then demanded that the com- mittee first obtain the support of the Trades Councils and the State Federation of Labor before taking initial steps in preparation for the Congress. Although Towns delayed the work of the committee somewhat, Mr. Bowers of the Blacksmith’s Union, and Mr, Strange of the Dairymen’s Union, will present the Workers’ Bill and the congress call to the Birmingham Trades Council and urge endorsement and election of delegates to the National Congress | for Unemployment Insurance. Mr. Harris, president of the Na- tional Foremen’s Association, has Pledged support to the National Congress, and will bring the Con- gress Call to his organization for the election of delegates. The next meeting of the local sponsoring committee, which will be held in Carpenters Hall, will be addressed by several prominent trade unionists who have been added to the committee. Plans will be made for a delegated conference and city-wide mass meeting to bring additional workers in support ef the National Congress.

Reveals Fiendish Torture With Knives, Gave Him 200 Wounds By CYRIL BRIGGS The lynchers of Claude Neal cut off his genitals and forced him to eat them, an eye-witness to the hideous lynch murder of the young Negro worker has revealed. It was jalso revealed that there had been @ secret romance between Neal and Lola Cannidy, the white girl for whose murder he was arrested. A report prepared from first hand information by a young Southern white university professor and sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in- dicates that the girl’s relations with the Negro worker were resented by the lynchers, and that they mur- dered her and later had Neal ar- retsed for the crime. Lynchers Sliced Stomach and Sides The eye-witness quoted above gave the professor further details of the fiendish torture of Neal, who was handeq over by Alabama prison authoriteis" to a lynch-committee, kidnaped across the state line to Florida and held for 36 hours while the lynchers openly publicised their plans and went ahead with the preparations for the lynching, with- out interference from the State and county governments or from the Federal government which has shown itself quite relentless in hunting down and punishing the kidnapers of rich men. Neal was subjected to a terrible torture for 12 hours and wounded in some 200 places, the eye-witness told the investigator. After the lynchers had cut off his genitals and forced the tortured worker to eat them, “they sliced his sides and stomach with knives and every now and then somebody would cut off a finger or toe. Red hot irons were used on the ‘nigger’ to burn him from top to bottom. Hung from Limb Several Times “From time to time during the torture a rope would be tied around Neal's neck and he was pulled up over a limb and held there until he almost choked to death when he would be let down and the tor- ture would begin ail over again. After several hours of this torture they decided just to kill him.” The investigaor’s report, after quoting the eye-witness of the actual lynching, gives further de- tails collected from other sources: “Neal's body was tied to a rope on the rear of an automobile and dragged over the highway to the Cannidy home. Here a mob es- timated to number somewhere be- tween 3,000 and 7,060 from eleven Southern States, was excitedly awaiting his arrival. When the car which was dragging Neal's body came in front of the Cannidy hothe, a man who was riding the rear bumper cut the rope. Woman Drives Knife Through Heart “A woman came out of the Can- nidy house and drove a butcher knife through his heart. Then the crowd came by and some kicked him and some drove their cars over him. “Men, women and children were numbered in the vast throng that came to witness the lynching. “It was reported from reliable sources that the little children, some of them mere tots, who lived in the Greenwood neighborhood, waited with sharpened sticks for the return of Neal's body and that when it rolled in the dust on the road, these little children drove their weapons deep into the flesh of the dead man, Fingers for Souvenirs “The body, which by this time was horribly mutilated, was taken by the mob to Marianna, a dis- tance of ten or eleven miles, where it was hung to a tree on the north- east corner of the courthouse Square. Pictures were taken of the mutilated form and hundreds of Photographs were sold for 50 cents each. Scores of children yiewed the body as it hung in the square. “The body was perfectly nude until the early morning when some- one had the decency to hang a bur- lap sack over the middle of the body. The body was cut down about 8:30 Saturday morning, 4 and toes from Neal's body have been exhibited as sou- venirs in Mariana where oné man offered to divide the finger which he had with a friends as ‘a special favor.’ Another man has one of the fingers preserved in alcohol.” Lynchers Terrorized Negroes After the lynching of Neal, the white lynchers went on a rampage in the Negro section of Mariana, Fla., beating up Negroes on sight, burning their homes and attacking Negro women, While this was go- ing on, not a policeman or sheriff deputy could be found. It was only when the Negro workers began to defend themselves that Gov. Sholtz |Mob Cut Body of Negro |of Alabama sent in the National ard “to keep the peace.” The Guardsmen kept “the peace” by breaking up protest meetings of Negro workers and generally dis- organizing all defense by the Ne~ groes. A Grand Jury which was ordered by Gov. Sholtz to “investigate” the crime, was returned a verdict that Neal met his death at “the hands of persons unknown”—the tradi- tional verdict of the lynch rulers of the South. Workers Must Protest Horrible Crime U. §, Attorney-General Cum- mings, who rejected the deniands of the League of Struggle for Ne- gro Rights and the International Labor Defense that the Federal government intervene to punish the interstate kidnaping of Neal and to prevent his lynching, has re- |fused to use the Lindbergh kid- |maping law against the lynchers. The horrible torture anl lynch- jing of Neal, the open collaboration |of the Federal government and the | State and county governments of | Alabama and Florida in this hide- |ous crime against the Negro people }and the working class, must serve |to rouse the entire working class and all opponents of fascist lynch terror to the fight against lynch- ing and Negro oppression and for the passage and enforcement of the Bill for Civil Rights for the Negro People and Against Lynching, which has been proposed to President Roosevelt and the U. S. Congress by the League of Struggle for Ne- \gro Rights. Negro Lichter of Unemployed Is Convicted LL.D. Will Appeal Case of Ramey in Cincinnati CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 26.— The International Labor Defense today took the case of Will Ramey, Negro unemployed leader, to the Court of Appeals. Ramey, who was declared guilty | of “assault and battery” by a lily- white jury, was one of an Unem- ployment Council delegation of five who were arrested on Oct. 25, when they attempted to enter the Tran- sient Service Bureau to present the grievances and demands of the un- employed workers. Matthews, a guard at the bureau, had covered the delegation with his gun while other guards brutally attacked the workers with blackjacks and brass knuckles, and then swore out a war- rant charging the delegation with “assault and battery.” The conviction of Ramey has aroused great indignation among broad sections of Negro and white workers here, since the five ar- rested, only the Negro worker was convicted in an obvious attempt to break the solidarity of Negro and white workers. Of the white de- fendants, one was acquitted, and the three others not even brought to trial. An intensive mass cam- paign is being conducted for Ramey’s release. Miss Dilling In California ‘On ‘Red’ Hunt Author of ‘Red Network’ Plans Aid to New Provocation LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 26.—~ Bringing to Los Angeles and the Junior Chamber of Commerce her “broad” understanding of the “red menace,” Elizabeth Dilling is now in the city looking for plots. Miss Dilling, author of “The Red Network,” has offered her services to the institutions of higher-learn- ing as an investigator. She, the university heads being willing, will ferret out locally “the comprehen- sive plan” of what she says is “a revolutionary program to influence the minds of students.” Quite appropriately she will add these “facts” as a supplement to her ready sale among the jittery mem- bers of the Chamber of Commerce and their sophomoric offspring, the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Meantime, while Miss Dilling pantingly waits to prowl the univ- ersities, she will pick up some pin money for the Junior Chamber of Commerce at a meeting at the Phil- harmonic Auditorium on Dee, 1. She will reveal information on “Gom- munistic attempts to overthrow the established government.” Facts of Crisis Are Analysed In LRA Notes “Capitalists Unable To Solve Crisis” is the conclusion of a three- page factual article in the Decem- ber number of Economic Notes, just issued by Labor Research Associa- tion. Business activity indices indi- cate that the drop in business be- tween May and September was greater in 1934 than in any year of the crisis. Tariff, housing, government spending, dollar devaluation and other major Roosevelt proposals are analyzed for their long-range worth and the conclusion is reached that U. S, capitalists cannot solve the crisis because they cannot profit- ably create the necessary mass pur- chasing power. Decline of mass purchasing power | is further indicated in an article on retail sales and food prices, the lat- ter being nearly 30 per cent higher than in April, 1933, one month after Roosevelt took office. The current level of prices adds about $3,000,- 000,000 annually to the retail food bill of the masses, Economic Notes points out. The feature of this issue is an article on “Class Lines in Farming,” which gives for the first time basic detailed data on the different types of farmers and their incomes. The story, prepared from census figures analyzed by Farm Research, shows that nearly half of the farmers in the country are poor farmers, whose total value of proclucts is less than $1,000 a year. Economic Notes is on sale at local Workers’ Book Stores, or directly from Labor Reséarch Association, 80 East Eleventh Street, New York City. Five cents per copy, or 65 cents a year by mail. Communist Vote Is Tripled Over 1933 In Northern N.Y. ROCHESTSR, N. Y., Nov. 26.— Returns just made available show that the Communist Party in this country tripled its vote over 1933, polling 1,128 votes for Israel Amter, candidate for Governor, as com- pared with 478 votes cast for the Communist candidate for Court of Appeals Justice in 1933. The Socialist Party also made gains, Charles Solomon, candidate for Governor, polling 3,954 votes, compared with 2,587 last year. SISSETON, S. D., Nov. 26.—Sharp gains were recorded for the Com- munist Party, returns now indicate. For the entire State, there was an increase of five times, with Julius se.| Walstead, candidate for Governor, Polling about 2,000 votes. In Roberts County, the Commu- nist candidate two years ago polled ne votes, this year the vote was In at least two townships, the Communist tied the Republican candidates, and in some places poh very close to the Democratic Obes, Oe DULUTH, Minn,, Nov, 26—Run- ning for Secretary of State, the Communist candidate, Robert Tur- ner, a Negro worker, polled 5,791 votes, official returns now show. The candidate for Governor, Al- fred Tiala, polled 5,620 yotes, This compares with 5,618 for the Social- ist Party candidate, Morris Kaplan. Food Plentiful IntheU.S.S.R., Workers Find Food is abundant in the Soviet Union, according to a cablegram received today by “Soviet Russia Today,” publication of the Friends of thé Soviet Union. Forwarded by the workers’ delegations of the F.8.U., the report is based on ir thousand mile trip through e Soviet Union, in which the food situation was investigated in the Ukraine and elsewhere, The dele- gation visited farms, spoke to peas- ants and discovered that the crops were good, the farm equipment ex- cellent, and food abundant. The present report once again disproves the slanders about famine in the Soviet Union and especially in the Ukraine, that had been cir- culated by the Nazis, the Japanese press, and by the White Guards through the world and particularly in the United States. The delegation consisted of a textile worker from Rhode Island, a Pittsburgh Westinghouse worker, @ dirt farmer from South Dakota, @ hosiery worker from Philadelphia, a Boston seaman, and was headed by Herbert Goldfrank, National Secretary of the F.S.U. The déle- gation left for the Soviet Union on October 20, 1934, and will report on their experiences at a welcome meeting on Wednesday, Dec, 12, at Irving Plaza. The full cablegram received to- day reads: Kitchkas. “Have travelled thousand miles, investigated food situation in the Ukraine and elsewhere. Visited farms, talked to peasants, crop good, equipment fine, food abun- dant, adverse reports lies.” “Workers Delegation.” St. Louis Conference Against War Attended By 40 Youth Delegates ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26—A total of forty delegates representing thirty- One organizations met here on Fri- day at the Central Y.M.C.A. in a conference against war and fascism called by the Youth Section of the American League Against War and Fascism. Prof. Elmer Arndt of Eden Seminary addressed the group and spoke of the need of the youth unit- ing to fight against these two great menaces. This conference was very repre- sentative of the youth of St. Louis, delegates coming from the Y.M.C.A., Y.M.HLA, settlement houses and churches. The conference endorsed Unem- ployment Insurance Bill H.R. 7598, the freedom of the Scottsboro Boys, and Tom Mooney. Resolutions wete passed condemning the atrocities committed in Germany and for the immediate and unconditional safe pee of Ernst Thaelmann and all anti-fascists imprisoned in Germany and Spain, book, which, undoubtedly, will find | ‘For Revision Of Agreement Enlist Locals for Ending | “No-Strike”’ Clauses Forced by Lewis PITSBURGH, Pa. Nov, %— District Five rank and file miners are preparing a fight against the |crippling, no-strike agreement with |which they were saddled by John | |L. Lewis and Pat Fagan last April. Two local unions in Pennsylvania, Ellsworth and Marianna, have drawn up @ joint resolution em- bodying changes in the existing contract which will be demanded at the next conferences in Febru- ary. The proposed changes have been printed and are being distributed to each local union in the district for discussion and approval, as the basis for organizing a concerted drive to compel the U.M.W.A. offi- cials to incorporate them in the next agreement. The resolution calls for the strik- | ing out of Articles 48, 55, 58, 59,| 60, 61, 62, and 63 of the existing | Appalachian agreement. All of these | are articles illegalizing strikes or stoppages, limiting the powers of the mine committee, and providing for the fining of miners who resort to stoppage to force action by the operator. eas Other sections of the resolution provide for the specification of price for wet places, the right to test scales on idle days, “house coal to be furnished to employes at the cost of production,” and the “com- pany to furnish power and deto- nator, fuses and squibs used in blasting coal and slate in the mines.” A change in Article 39 provides that the checkoff shall be remitted to the local union treasurer, and a change in Article 46 demands that the right of the operator “to hire and discharge shall be with the approval of the mine committee.” Other provisos are for the 30- hour week, that all contracts of the union shall remain unsigned “until the majority of local unions ap- Prove and authorize” the signature of the scale committee. The final clause of the resolution demands that “wages shall be raised above the contract whén the cost of living is raised above the prices at the time of signing the contract.” The joint measure includes the remedying of almost all the crip- pling clauses which the Appala- chian agreement now contains, but fails to cover one important point. This is the provision for compulsory arbitration and settle- ment of disputes by an umpire which is part of the present con- Rael embodied in Articles 52 and Without elimination of these ar- ticles the right to strike can not be guaranteed to the miners. With these exceptions the joint resolution declares for most of the economic demands included in the regular U.M,W.A. rank and file program. | Worker Faces Murder Frame-Up for Activity In Truckmen’s Strike MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 25.— The Citizens’ Alliance of Minne- apolis is now carrying on a cam- paign of frame-ups against the mil- itant workers who participated in the last two truck drivers’ strikes. A few weeks ago they arrested Emanuel Holstein, who was kept in jail for two weeks without any charge against him, Immediately after he was released on a writ of habeas corpus, he was again re-ar- rested and a charge of murder was placed against him in connection with the death of the deputized thugs used against the strikers in the May strike. The Citizens’ Alli- ance aims through this frame-up to terrorize the whole labor move- ment of Minneapolis and to smash the drivers’ local union. The International Labor Defense of Minneapolis is issuing a call to all workers of Minneapolis, organ- ized and unorganized, to rally to a campaign of protest and mass struggle for the release of Holstein and against further frame-ups. speak about the “Daily” to the worker sitting next to you, and ask him to contribute to the $60,000 At a lecture, during intermission, | iD¢.

Soviet Press Reveals Japan’s Actions in Inner Mongolia (Special to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW, Noy, 26 (By Wireless). —Commienting on a report that the Ja@pano-Manchurian authorities have demanded the evacuation of all Chinese officials and troops from Chahar and that all the signs are present of a new imperialist drive against China, Prayda, Com- munist Party organ of the Soviet Union, writes: “Japanese imperialism is utilizing every means in order gradually and in parts to subject to itself the whole of Inner Mongolia. But ap- parently not desiring to complicate the position of the Japanese ele- ments within China and its own Position, the Japanese command has published a denial, in which it pointed out that it is a question not concerning occupation, but con- cerning the demand of “clearing” (by the Chinese) “of territory lying between the boundary of Jehol and the Great Wall running through Chahar.” At the same time it is alleged that this demand emanates not from Japan but from Man- chukuo, “But in the first place the ad- ministrative boundary of Chahar almost coincides on the south with the line of the Great Wall. In the second place, who does not know that Manchukuo—is Japan itself? It is a question not concerning ‘the fixing of boundaries’ but concern- ing the seizure of one more Chi- nese province, which not only has economic but also great strategic significance. The south and south- west boundaries of Chahar province come close to the boundary of Sui- yan Phovince and to the strategi- cally important point in this prov- ince—Kalgan. “In the north-west Chahar bounds with the Mongolian National Re- public. Japanese imperialism in- sistently strives to gain a firm foot- ing in this region, this attempt arising out of its far-reaching con- quering plans on the Asiatic conti- nent. After the events in Jehol and Northern China, when the Japanese authorities reached the outskirts of Peking, the Chahar occupation will be the greatest event marked on the road of Japanese imperialist policy Pennsylvania ‘Red Nominees Get Big Vote PITSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 26.— Results of the official count of votes in Allegheny County show two Com- munist Party candidates polled higher totals than their Socialist Party opponents in the First Legis- ativle District on the “hill.” William Thornton and Max Jen- jKins received 219 and 184 votes, re- spectively, to 173 and 137 for Abe Solomon and John Sciens,, S.
