CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR
ASSAII4S JOHNSON FOR
PRESENT RIVER STAND

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Oct. 10 FJ-
All opposition to unconditional rati-
fication of the six state Colorado river
compact at next Fridays special ses-
sion of the legislature has it's origin
in the fears of one man, says GOV.
ornor Friend w. Richardson in a
statement issued here today. That
man, the governor asserts, is United
States Senator Hiram Johnson, who
fears that ratification Will mean the
success Of the Swing-Johnson bill
which he helped to frame.
The governors statement says:
"The issue to be presented to the
Legislature is a simple one. Ratifica
ton of the SIX state Colorado river
compact means chat congress can in
December act promptly upon river
Legislation. Prompt action is needed
to save the Imperial valley from the
menace of flood, to provide for water
fer southern cities and to harness
the power now going to waste.
Failure to ratify will menace the
whole plan and may delay action for
many years. Under these conditions
it seems strange there should be any
hesitancy about prompt ratification"
Declaring that opposition to the
special session is political the gov
ernor's statement says Senator john
son fears to have his rewritten and
revamped bill passed and work start
ed on the Colorado river" because,
'It means the settling of an issue
upon which Johnson and his fol.
lowers expect to continue in office.
$50 the issue with the Johnson
machine, is the political welfare OF
thc senior senator and the safety or
the lives and property of the people
in the Imperial valley. The south
may suffer for water but what is
that to the Johnson political ma
chine? The power of the great Colo
rado river may go unused into the
golf but what of that so long as the
Johnsonites have public jobs squanG,
ering public money and playing the
role of PhariSeeS"

DETROIT, April 1s.-The trial Of
Henry Sweet, younger brother Of Or.
Osslan Sweet and one Of the eleven
Negroes charged with conspiracy to
murder Leon Brelner, has been post
poned to April 10.
The eleven Negroes are charged
with conspiracy to murder Leon
Breiner, a white hoodlum that was the
leader of a mob that attacked the
Sweet home. This mob attacked the
Sweet home with the intention of
lynching the occupants Of the house
for resisting attempts by the khan
and other exclusive white" groups to
force the Sweets to move back into
the "black belt"
Ends In Jury Disagreement.
The first trial that was held ended
in jury disagreement. Each of the
eleven are to have separate trials
The case of Henry Sweet is attracting
nationwide interest as it will decide
whether a Negro has right to de-
fend himself against an attempt on
his life.
The outcome Of the Henry Sweet
trial will have an important bearing
on the outcome Of the trials Of the
other 10 defendants.
Workers Rally to Support Of Sweet.
Workers of all races should rally to
the support Of the Negroes involved
in this case. The only crime that these
Negroes are guilty Of is Of defending
themselves when attacked by hood
lums who were determined to lynch
them, because they had refused to
move when ordered to do so by khan
inspired mobs.
The American Negro Labor Con
gress is one of the many organizations
supporting DR.. Ossian Sweet and his
10 co-defendants in the battle against
an attempt on the part Of the prosecu'
ton to sentence these Negroes to long
Jail terms.
