e LAOA J AfAN NJ AtttNs :
Three Negroes have recently beer
lynched in the most horrible and
brutal manner in the state of Mis-
sissippi. A mob of over 5000 bat
tered down the jail at Brookhaven
and dragged out two Negroes who
had been arrested because they had
resisted two white men who had at
tackled them with a gun following a
dispute. The mob tied these men to
automobile trucks, dragged them
around the town, and strung them
up to an electric light pole within
so feet of the City Hall. While they
were yet conscious, these Inflated
blacks were lowered to the ground
mutilated, and their remains again
strung up. Among the mob were
business men, prominent city Off
cials. physicians, lawyers, schoo'
heads, and church leaders. At Sum
nit, another Negro was given over
by officers to lynching mob which
hanGed its victim to tree along the
road
ONLY a few days before, at Hous-
ton, Texas, a young Negro was
lvnched as the democrats assembled
for their national convention. H
had exchanged shots with a detec
tive who had been bounding him. He
was taken from the hospital, where
he lay wounded. by five men, one
2 policeman in uniform, and hange
from a BRIDGE. While the body Of
this young Negro swung limp and
lifeless, the democrats. assembled at
Sam Houston Hall eight miles away
showed their complete accord with
the system of lynching and exploita-
ton by their failure to write any
plank in their platform or even to
utter single word against this hor-
rible practice of lynching.

Lynching. mob violence, burning at

Negroes, and thousands of white
workers, also, have been put to death
by this savage terror.
Lynching is openly defended in
congress, it is condoned in the
courts, it is preached from the pull
pits. 1t is purposely maintained by
the wealthy rulers of America as 3
necessary part of the vicious sys-
tenn of oppression and exploitation
which keeps the Negro masses as
a slave class at the bottom of capi-
talist society, degraded and driven
in the most merciless fashion, to
produce wealth for their inhuman
exploiters. 1t is the naked engine of
terror which upholds the whole vile

Especial to The DAILY WORKER)
PITTSBURGH, July 19.-Bitter
denunciations from militant mine
leaders as well as from the rank
and file coal diggers from prac-
tically every mine district continued
today to pour into the headquarters
of the National Arrangements Com
mittee for a new miners union, Of
which John Watt is chairman, fol-
lowing the last strikebreaking act
of John L. Lewis, who yesterday or
dered the miners back to scabbery
on whatever terms they could Sc
cure.
Deeply Aroused
Nothing has so aroused the min
ers of the country since the infa-
nous betrayal of Lewis of the 100,-
COO west Pennsylvania miners in
1922, whom Lewis deliberately left
out of the agreement which he
signed up for the other strikers.
The final act of strikebreaking, as
it is termed, in practically all the
communications to the local head
quarters of the progressives, is de-
clared to be the outcome of Lewis
treacherous policy of signing up
separate agreements for Illinois,
for Kansas and for other districts
while leaving the Pennsylvania and
Ohio miners to battle with divided
forces.
kilograms and letters from pro-
gressive mine leaders from the an
thracite are equally bitter in de-
nouncing the policy of the strike
breaking Lewis machine in keeping
the hard coal miners at work under
an agreement which expired at
different time from that of the
bituminous.
Still Determined
The tenor cf the communications
pouring into the local progressive
headquarters indicate a sentiment of
surprising determination on the
part of the miners already out for
fifteen months not to be routed by
Lewis, who is now seen more clearly
than before to be in league with
the open-shop operators.
The last move of Lewis, accord
ing to all indications, has brought
into sharp relief the necessity of
building a new union of the coal
diggers under rank and file con-
troll directed by progressive poli-
cies of uncompromising struggle
against the coal barons. Consider
able impetus has been given to the
call for national miners conven-
ton by the progressives, which will
be held here September 9-16.

miners to go back to work on any
terms followed meeting in India

ecutive board and representative
