Especial to the Daily Worker)
TULSA, okla, Oct. 27.-Negroes
here may force federal grand jury
investigation into the refusal Of GER
tain Oklahoma registrars to permit
Negro voters to register for the gen.
eral election.
The decision to try to force an
investigation has followed on the re-
fusal Of the district court Of a writ
Of mandamus seeking to compel
okfusgee registrars to register Neg
70 voters.
In denying the writ, Judge F. {.
kennamer was forced to admit that
it looks as If there were "a conspir-
acy in the state capital and the
state election board to deny the
right of voting to certain citizens be-
cause of race or color"
"ln some precincts registrars go
around and find only those voters
to register whom they know will
vote. right" Kennamer admitted.
That Negro has virtually no
chance of getting suffrage rights
thru appeal to the state supreme
court was not denied by the judge.

Protests Of lawyers at the APP

defendants proved so embar-
RAISING to Judge Padden, of the
municipal court, that he found
it necessary to appeal for reas-
signment of several cases in
volving Negroes.
The outbreak of protest came
with the trial of William Beas-
Icy, Negro musician, on a charge
of pandering.
"Thlrd Degree" by Investigators.
Betty Beasley, white woman, the
wife of the musician, was also arrest
ed in connection with the case, and
it was on her that the 'so-called social
investigators on the case used the
well.known "star-chamber" methods
The first indication that race pre-
judice would be a factor in the trial
was the unusually high bond set for
Beasley. He was placed under 81.

Attorney William Westbrooka en-
tered the ante-room behind the bar,
and discovered that the social inves'i-
gators" had taken Mrs. Beasley IL
there to persuade her to testify
against her husband. Attorney West
brooks overheard the following CONVEX.

When Westbrooks interrupted court
to tell Judge Padden what he had
heard, Padden flew into a rage and
asked if Westbrooks meant to insinu-
ate that he was involved in the third
degree methods used on Mrs. Beas-
ley.
The Judge finally ordered the case
brown out of court, not however, be-
ore he had raised Mrs. Beasley's
bond from S4OO to $1,000
Judge Ward, before whom the case
came up later, threatened to throw
Westbrooks into Jail.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Beasley have
demanded a jury trial.

with this reply to your letter Of
November 9Th which you wrote in an
swer to my letter of November End,
in which l brought to your attention
information given me by board mem
Der Dobbins concerning statements
you were alleged by him to have made
before the International Executive
Board and to him personally to the
effect that things in Illinois were
corrupt and that Vice President Fish

you under date of November End, 1

him before hand that l was going to

doing so and after taking down his
statement in long hand | read 1t over

quite certain that l had correctly
taken the statement as made by him
concerning what you had said about
me before the International Executive

CHARGED WITH
GRAVE OFFENSE
Returns the Compliment

BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.
ARTICLE Fourteen.)

Williamson County, Illinois,
first burst into the national
lImeIight during the coal miners
strike of 1922, when William J.
Lester, owner of strip mine,
hired a number of strike-break-
ers to operate his property. The
scabs along with'trying to break
the strike, also became exceed
ingly offensive in the commun-
ity going around the country
insulting women, beating up old
men and setting the example for
the conduct subsequently
followed by the Ku Klux Kan,
who are in every way worthy
successors to the Lester strike
breakers.
All did not go well with the scabs
however Then opened fire on body
Of union miners who went to the bar
ricaded coal mine with the object of
making certain suggestions to them,
with a view to relieving the tension
created in the neighborhood by their
presence. When the smoke Of battle
cleared, the number of scabs who
looked healthy could be counted on
the fingers Of one hand. A sensation
was created turnout the country and
chambers of commerce and capitalist
newspapers called for the blood Of the
union miners.
Lester Got Permit
1t was afterwards learned that Les
ter received a permit from Harrington
to clear off the dirt of his strip mine.
Other went further and said that Les
ter had paid a round sum of money
to harrington and Vice-President Fish
wick for that concession. Of course
the president Of the Illinois Miners
Union denies these charges but as
the correspondence published below
will show, no less person than John
L. Lewis president Of the lnterna'
tional Union makes this charge
against Harrington according to the
statement Of International Board
Member Dobbins.
harrington collected fund Of s2,-
100000 from the Illinois miners by
assessment for the alleged defense OF
Williamson County cases. He has
never given an accounting of the e0
penditures and it is widely believed
among the miners of District IL, that
he has used this money as siush
fund to build up his own personal
machine and to enrich himself and
his family with 1t.
The correspondence which follows is
as damaging to Lewis as it is to Far
rington. How both could unite after
what they say about each can only
he understood in the light OF the
reason given in the previous article;
their deadly fear Of the progressive
elements in the union who are out to
rid the organization Of both crooks
