BOSSES
Face TRIAL FOR
NEGRO'S MURDER
Whipped LabOrer and
Burned Body

CROSS CITY, Florida, March "a
The first Of the murder trials growing
out Of the killing and burning of Lewis
Barker, Negro logging Iaborer, got
under way here today when the case
Of G. w. Mecrane, one of six men
under Indictment, was called in the
circuit court with Judge Mallory F.
Horn presiding.
Four other white men and one Ne
gro are to face separate trials on this
murder charge at this term of court.
Two of them, Thomas w. Higgin-
botham, whipping boss in the Martin
Tabert peonage case in 1923, and E.
G. Priest, pleaded not guilty along
with McCrane, when arraigned.
The other men under indictment for
first degree murder are: d. A. Parker,
logging superintendent, who is still
at large and John H. Winburn, a
deputy sheriff. Winburn was expected
to be brought here today from a jail
in an adjoining county to testify for
the state in McCranes trial. Charlie
Hart, a Negro. who is alleged to have
confessed and implicated the white
men under indictment, also will face
trial.
Barker mysteriously disappeared
from the lumber camps here October
10 last what was believed to be his
funeral pyre-a bed Of charred bones
beside an old stump in the swamps
near Shamrock-was unearthed by in
vestigating officers later.
States Attorney J. X. Kelly is bas-
ing his case on the theory that Barker
was severely logged and then shot
and his body burned to cover up the
crime.

berg here. This is one Of the places
where wage reductions were taken
under HilIman's direction two years

great victory. The workers are now
trying to regain what, they lost thru
such leadership.
This morning at a mass meeting
Jenkins spoke in Lithuanian as

Eighteen hundred members of the
Cleaners, Dyers' and Pressers' Union,
No. 17742, walked out on strike yester-

The AmaIgamated members flocked
to the hall to hear Sam Litzpin of

the workers arrived they found the
army of sluggeFs armed with guns and

Levin and his sluggers went thru

LOCAL 1871 Win
Big VICTORY
Expelled" Members
Are Restored to Rights

The long fight Of Local 1871 of the
Carpenters Union for the five mem
bers who were declared expelled by
a former president fthe local ended
VIGOROUSLY last Monday night when
the five were restored to full mem
bershp rights at a weIl-attended
meeting in Wicker Park Hall.
The militants in Local ISL scored
double victory when they elected
Phil Flicker as president of the local
against Jacob Olson, Harry Jensen's
man. While the voting was taking
place Jensen and his henehmen were
standing right by whispering to the
members to Vote for Jacob Olson"
the old party political hack who does
odd jobs around city hall for the re-
publican party.
This is a violation of the consti-
tuition, but what is the constitution t.
a labor faker? However, the whis-
pering campaign was unsuccessful
and the candidate supported by the
militants was elected.
Committee Reported.
The committee appointed at a pre-
vious meeting of the local, to inyesti-
gate the expulsion and all the cir
cumstances surrounding it, reported
that there was nothing illegal in the
resolutions signed by the expelled
members but that the language might
be improved. The committee there
fore recommended that the defend
ants apologize for the offending tone
of the language used in the resolu-
tions which were the basis for the
proceedings against them and that
they would promise to have nothing
to do with any organization opposed
to the principles of the United Broth
erhood. This was an easy condition
to comply with as none of the lex
PEELED" members belonged to any
such organization.
When the five members entered
the hall, they were given a great ova-
tion the members cheering them
wildly. Each of the five were re-
quested to comply with recommends
ton Of the committee as a condition
for reinstatement. They admitted
that they were not college students,
and that it was quIte possible the
language could be improved on, but
they had nothing to take back so far
as the principle and content of the
resolution was concerned.

the constitution of the Amalgamated.
1t seems that you cannot face the
masses and that you found yourself
forced to use the gangsters of the
underworld to "cover" your shameless
ness. And furthermore, at the ma

our friendship in your and HilIman's
struggle in Chicago against Frank
Rosenberg. And you were even ready
at that time to call yourself a left"
but only in order to make us believe
that Rosenberg was a reactionary,
and that we should get the support of
the New York members for you in
your fight against Rosenberg at the
convention. You did not even think at
that time of the bad CONSCIENCE to
the organization. Luckily we knew
only too well the politics of the Chi
cago Amalgamated. We listened to

were being used for. AS a result they
are fighting side by side with the white
miners against any reduction in pay.
~ 1t is bad enough to have to dig coal
with pick at rate of S1.50 for a
three or four-ton car, but the operators
want to reduce this price to S1.05 for
the same amount of coal. The diggers
feel that if they have to starve they
will do so, but not. starve piiing up
profits for the operators.
So-caIled independents" Wait
Outcome.
So far about IL mines attempted to
cut wages. The Frick Coal and Coke
company and the other independent
mines are awaiting the outcome of the
strike, whether they will also cut or
pay the same wages. If an attempt
is made by them to cut wage the feel
ing against any reduction in wages
is such that it will result in a strike
of the entire Fayette county field.
The capitalist class in its greed for
profits soon teaches the workers to
close up their ranks Once a group
of workers is used against the other,
they begin to see the need of class
solidarity.
