CONNECT WHITE
LANDL ORD WITH
NEGRO LYNCHING
Reprieve Florida Killer
Of Negro

CHARLOTTE, N. c., eJuly T.
The body of the young Negro
worker, Willie Mcdaniel, will be
exhumed tomorrow in an effort to
cover up the fact that he was
lynched and mutilated at the insti-
cation of Nell Grier, the white
landlord for whom he was working.
The effort will now be made to
prove that he was not hung, but
was killed by shooting.
Mcdaniel was found last Sunday
lying face downwards in a patch of
woods near here, where he had been
dragged after being hung. Indica-
tions were that his wrists had been
tied, his neck broken by a strong
blow and that he had been other
wise brutally mishandled.
Police Ignore Evidence.
Jake F. Newell, who has been en-
gagged as attorney by number of
Negro tenants and friends of the
murdered man, has unearthed facts
which the police, who give solemn
assurances that they are working
on the case" are studiously ignor-
ing. From Negro neighbors of
Mcdaniel he learned that Negro
cropper had driven to Grier's home
in his wagon on Saturday and had
demanded that Grier pay him for
some work he had done and pay his
wife for blackberries she had picked
for Grier. Grier arrogantly refused
to pay a cent. After heated words,
Mcdaniel started to drive off.
Grier ran after him and insulted
him. The Negro jumped off his
wagon and began graphing with
Grier, but the white man ran into
his house in fear, emerging a mo-

CAST0NIA JUDGE HOLDS HAMPTON ON MURDER CHARGE
NH Striker
Tells Of Gas
Bomb Attack

After their attempt to break the
strike of the Gastonia mill workers
hy having their thugs and the police
attack the tent colony of the strik-
ers had failed the Manville-Jenckes
Co. rescrted to a second desperate
attempt to crush the spirits of the
strikers.
The raid of the mill thugs and
police on the Workers International
Relief tent colony resulted in the
wholesale arrest of strikers and
their leaders on all sorts of trumped
up charges.
In the prison of these strikers tear
gas bombs were exploded by Gas
tonia police. Men and women strik-
ers gasped, choked and cried for
water, and even this relief was at
first denied them.
One of the strikers who was in
one of the cells at the time the tear
gas choked the arrested men and
women was John L. Brewer, who is
one of the strikers now in New York
to aid the International Labor De-
Tense in its campaign against the
frame-up of the II workers charged
with murder.
Tells The Daily"
Brewer visited the Daily Worker
yesterday, and told of the horrors
undergone by the strikers in their
prison cells during the gas-bomb
attack.
Brewer is an ex-servise man, and
has slaved in the mills for many
years. Il fought in the world war;"
he said, "the so-called war for free
dom, as they fooled us workers into
believing. Well, during that time
l managed to escape gas poisoning.
But on June s, it remained for the
Manville-Jenckes Co., in this So
called free country, to poison me
with gas, when they had their
thugs, their so-called deputies and
the police, throw tear gas bombs
into the cells packed with men and
women strikers.

ing up Loray St., when | saw

P Police e Aderholt, Policeman
Gilbert and Roach Roach is not an
officer at all but just a mill thug).
Horde testified that he tried to
disarm guard and that the shoot
ing followed.
Rankin Repeats.
Policeman Rankin repeated his
testimony given before the habeas
corpus hearing of Hampton last
week. Rankin said that he was
told by Hampton in an auto on the
way from South Carolina that
Hampton was captain of the guard
at the tent colony on the night of
the shooting and was armed with a
pistol, that Hampton and Beal were
talking in the inner office of the
union when the shooting started.
and that no shots were fired from
the union office.
At the habeas corpus hearing
Rankin admitted that he had not
warned the defendant that what
ever he said would be used against
him. 1t was also brought out that
Hampton's revolver could net have
been used against Aderholt. as the
dead chief of police had only shot
gun wounds.
There was no other evidence Of
fered, but Jones nevertheless sus-
tanned the charge of murder in the
first degree" and Hampton will 90
to trial with the others.
More Evictions.
A family of workers in the Rex
mill was evicted Friday for men,
bership in the National Textile
Workers Union, and are being pro-
vided with a tent in the Lorav
strikers tent colony by the Work
ers International Relief.
Attorney Sigmon, of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, is handling
their case against eviction in the
court Another eviction notice has
been served. Many more evictions
are threatened and the w. 1. R.

colony and provide needed relief fer
these.

These two banks, as bond holders

ing men possessed real class con-
seriousness. In the measure, how
ever, as the mutiny movement devel-
oped, this class consciousness spread
further and further among the
masses. Many sailors showed so
much intrepedity, energy and clod-
bloodedness that they would have
succeeded in leading the whole fleet
into revolutionary fight had they
been inspired by Lenin's lucid the
DRY. Their theology however was
confused, many of them tried to
convince" the officers, they accept
ed their rehabilitation in order later
to be arrested as ringleaders on the
first occasion which offered itself.
The fact that the sailors Joined
in the fight inspired the whole ma
ton with intensified acrimony. The
crews of the "Protet" and of the
"Waldeck- Rousseau" were at a loss
whether to return to France or enter
the port of Odessa, i.e., join the re-
volution. In the period of Goth to
22nd of April, the crew on board
the warship France" was prepared
to reply to any attempt to bring
colonial troops on board by cannon
fire. The crew was in possession of
the guns and ammunition; they turn
ed the muzzles of their 305 MILL
meter guns on an English armored
cruiser which threatened them.
Nevertheless they did not comply
with the slogan of the Russian
workers calling upon them to arm
themselves and to fire on headquar-
tiers. On the contrary, a large num-
Der of them preached peace, caution
ing against unnecessary deeds of
violence" "as the right was on our
side"
The third phase is characterized
by an undeniable class movement:
mass meetings, attempts to proceed
in unison with the workers, demon
