LYNCHING WAVE
SWEEPS COUNTRY
LABOR PROTESTS
Harlem Will Protest
Lynch Terror

That a general wave Of lynching
is sweeping the South is evident
from reports from various cities.
The leaders of the Gastonia strike,
both white and black, have been
saved from the rope only by the
vigilance of the workers whom they
have led.
The lynching of Willie McDan-
iels, in Charlotte, only few miles
from Gastonia, was reported soon
after, and white courts are doing
their utmost to hide the real nature
of the crime by a long "investiga-
ton"
Many Negroes have fled from the
terror started by the "investiga-
tors"
Last week came the report of the
mob threats in North Platte, Neb.,
which drove the entire Negro pop
ulation out of town with shctguns,
in many instances not even giving
the fleeing Negroes a chance to
gather up their belongings. The
governor of the state has Inter
vened" in this case. About the
same time, the Negroes of Princess
Anne, Md, were similarly driven
from their homes because some Of
them walked on the wrong side of
the street! On July Is Negro of
Raleigh, N. c., mysteriously "dis-
appeared"
The interracial branch Of the In
ternational Labor Defense of Har-
lem is calling an anti-lynching pro-
test meeting Friday night, with the
cooperation of other labor organ
izations. The legal lynching of
strike leaders, now being attempted
in Gastonia, will be the main sub
ject of the meeting.

Conference Called

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 49,
Three members Of the Young Com
munist League, Sam Herman, Bill
Albertson, and Freda Truhar were
today sentenced to ten days in Jail
or ten dollars fine by Magistrate
Rothenberg in the Morals Court.
They were arrested for arranging
and speaking at a Gastonia defense
demonstration held at Union Ave,
and Ohio St., North Side, without
a permit, after several attempts to
secure a permit had failed. The In
I ternational Labor Defense was in
lcharge of the case.
Speed-Up Gets Victim.
The speed up system wore out
Felix T. Mosley, Highland Park
mill employee at North Charlotte,
near Gastonia, and forced him to
stop working. When the mill Off
Gals retaliated by ordering Mosley
from his company-owned home, the
worker drew pistol and fired at
L. E. Anderson, city councilman and
superintendent of Highland Mill No.
3. One of the shots struck the boss
in the shoulder, but he will recover.
These facts were. yesterday
gathered from the bloodthirsty Gas
tonia Gazette, which is crying for
the lives of the fifteen members of
the National Textile Workers Union,
who go on trial in less than two
weeks.
The International Labor Defense
is rallying the workers of the nation
to help the N. T. W. U. fight for the
right to form militant unions, to war
against the speed-up system which
caused Mosely to shoot his boss in
desperation. The I. L. D. also fights
for the right of workers to defend
themselves against the brutal at
tacks of the boss-controlled govern
ment military forces, police and
gangsters.
n Realize Southern Horror.
II From all parts of the country re-
h ports are coming into the national
U office of the l. L. D. of workers
conferences, of united front of work
ers rising to the horror of the situa-
ton in the South and aiding with
all the strength they possess. From
Chicago, from Detroit, from the
East, and especially from Gastonia
and the South, come reports of
workers mobilizing and forming a
mass l. L. D. to save the Is workers
from the chair, to build militant
unions, to fight for better conditions,
to fight the bosses press, gunner,
police and government.

Wayne EmmeIman Gets Job
as County Inspector.

County commissioners appointed
Wayne Enlnelman, Republican city
and county secretary, county bridge
inspector at $214 month, June l,
it was discovered today. Emmelman
is not an engineer.

to see that the county gets its
moneys worth when bridges are
built. The county is building no
bridges.
Meanwhile Emmelman, veteran
lieutenant of George v. Coffin. Re
publican city chairman, draws a
salary close to the $233 a month

chief deputy county official in the
county. The last bridge inspector,
John Mac Gregor, was paid S125 a
month.
The job is good for seven months
at least as the commissioners have
a s1,500 appropriation for bridge
inspection.
