Woll Wants Lynching
President Green, evidently some
what awed at the worldwide pro-
test going up against the attempted
murder by legal chicanery of the
Gastonia case defendants, has writ
ten letter to the Nation, disavow-
ing the appeal to lynehing contained
in the international Labor News
Service, which has always meen the
official spokesman of the A. F. of
L. bureaucracy. Green takes refuge
in a teehnicality, and says "The
|. L. N. S. is not published by the
A. F. of L." He forkets to mention
that Matthew Vol, vice president
of the A. F. of L. is president of the
International Labor News Service.
This service recently carried the
following suggestion for the muir
der of the Gastonia defendants and
other union organizers:
"In Gastonia some Communists
are to be tried for murder. If
Americans-or Russians-tried to
do in Russia what these Reds tried
to door threatened to do-in
America, there would not be any
trials. There would be just some
quiet shooting"
