UP HOLDS RAID
ON UNEMPLOYED
Philadelphia Workers
Given Fines
Especial To DAILY WORKER.)

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-De-
claring that the five workers who
on February IL led an unemploy-
ment demonstration were enemies
of the constitution and by inference
that they had no standing before
the law, Judge Alessandroni, we'll
known Ware machine tool, yesterday
refused the appeal of these workers
who were attacked by the police
when they urged their demands for
unemployment insurance and other
support for the jobless.
The decision on this case, which
has been pending since February, up
holds sentence OF Herbert Benja-
min, district organizer of the Work
ers (Communist) Party in Philadel-
phia; Michael Tuoler, Jennie Cooper,
Fannie Cutler and George Evans,
who are charged with villifying the
mayor and the president when po-
lice prevented unemployed workers
from entering the headquarters of
the Workers (Communist) Party,
where meeting of unemployed had
been called. The original sentence
imposed fine of $40 on the work
ers.
Eleven others, who were arrested
together with Benjamin, and also
fined in the original hearing before
Magistrate Fahnstock, were released
and their appeal sustained.
The International Labor Defense
will carry an appeal against this
conviction to the higher courts with
view to establishing the right Of
workers to meet without police per-
nit.

The average American is born
with certain talent for lying. But
he treats it so lightly it is seldom
more than a hobby. Not so with
senator's. Their mendacity has a
professional quality. For instance.
Nye and Brookhart, before the G. o.
P. convention said that Hoover
would sink the farmers. Now these
two senator's say he will save them.
He will do neither. The farmers.
ultimately will save themselves with
the aid of the workers by setting up
a government of their own.

Race Prejudice
(By a Worker Correspondent

by q VORTEX Co1Tespondent)
The Negroes of Palo Valley
Southern California, adjacent to the
Colorado River, are making a deter
mined fight to prevent the introduc-
ton of segregated schools for Mex
lean and Negro children to begin
with the coming September school
sessions.
This is cotton producing valley
and is settled chiefly by people from
Texas and the hinterlands of the
old South, who nurse all the hatreds
and prejudices of the old Negro slav-
cry regime. The entire move for
separate schools has the backing of
the local American Legion, which in
California has become Negro hat
ing, labor batting organization. Its
activities parallel those of the KS
Klux Khan.
The Negroes have formed an Anti
Segregation Society under the lead
ership of George Ivans, Sam }
White, John Davis and John H
Owens. Funds are being collected
in preparation for a legal battle to
test the constitutionality of such a
procedure. The state constitution
provides against separate schools.
A spirited mass demonstration
was held on July s, in the Methodist
Church at Blythe Cal. Plans were
completed for bringing in Attorney
Macbeth of Los Angeles to handle
the legal end of the matter. A COM
mittee, consisting of John H. Owens
Ed. Bell and Wade Bowen, was APP
pointed to confer with the local
school board and superintendent of
school, Prof. George R. Scott.
Prof. Scott has been acting in 3
very vacillating manner, and his
sympathies appear to be directed
against the Negroes. Previous COM
mittees sent to confer with him have
received very unsatisfactory replies
