Gov. Who Sent Troops
to Elizabethton, Quiet

ALAMO, Tenn, May 29.-Urged
on and led by the blackly reaction
ary business forces of Tennessee,
the same ones who sent the mill
tia, thugs and police against the
textile strikers of Happy Valley,
mob of about 100 crashed into the
Alamo Jail early today, grabbed Joe
Boxley, an 18-year-old Negro farm
worker, and lynched him, by hang
ing him to tree.
The teeth of the exploiters were
barred and sunk into the neck of the
Negro worker on the suspicion"
that he had attacked the wife of a
Crockett County magistrate. Box
ley was working in a nearby field
when the woman claimed that she
had been attacked and he was i'm
mediately siezed. With the purpose
of intimidating the Negro workers
of the south in order to keep them
from organizing and forcing them
to scab against workers on strike,
Boxley was Immediately thrust into
Jail, without trial and without any
evidence, all of which invited the
lynching.
Magistrate Probably in It.
1t is not Understanding capital
ist justice to say that this same
magistrate, together with his po-
litical hangers-on and business
friends, were the ones who drove up
in automobiles at the home of Sher-
iff Carl Emmerson, who turned over
the key of the Jail to them, and
then entered the cell and lynched
Joe Boxley.
Boxley had been arrested in Glib
son County and placed in Jail in
Trenton. The mob of vicious chau-
vinists broke down the front door
of the Jail, but the Negro worker
was transferred to the Alamo jail
before they could reach him. He had
only been there about one-half hour,
when Is or 20 automobiles, drew
up before the sheriff's house where
they procured the key. Boxley was
then taken from Jail by the expo

known as the International Ladies
Garment Workers, and urged the
workers "to understand clearly the
present situation and to act like
class-conscious workers" The call,
contained in printed circular, ap-
peared over the signature of Joseph
Boruchowitz, general manager b of
the Joint Board, and was distributed
by the thousands in the garment dis
trict yesterday.
Fake Fight is Noise.
The call pointed out that the
turmoil in connection with the fake
"strike" is growing louder each day
in the headquarters Of the corrupt,
right wing clique. The manufactur-
ers and their agents in the company
are playing to the galleries, and pre-
sumably, are carrying on a most
terrible and bloody battle. Schles-
niger, Dubinsky, Breslau and the
rest of the leeches on the cloak trade
are trying to convince" the cloak
makers that they, the takers, are
actually battling against the 10 per
cent discharge clause, against piece
work, and against what not.
The Industrial Union, has there
fore, spread a message of warning
and a manual of arms to the
thousands of workers in the market.

Vote; Hear of Strike

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, May 20.
The United Textile Workers officials
who sold 5000 rayon strikers here
back into slavery to the American
Bemberg and Glanzstoff corpor-
ations have lost so much influence
that it can be said the workers are
through with them. More and more
workers are calling for leadership
from the National Miners Union.
The fear of the business men who
run this town, and of the misleaders
of the U. T. W., is so great that to-
day they nailed shut the doors and
windows of the city owned "Taber-
nacle" to prevent the rayon workers
from holding a mass meeting which
would be addressed by the commit
tee of National Textile Union strik-
ers from Gastonia.
Threaten Arrest.
The city officials have told Vera
Bush and Fred Beal of the Gastonia
delegation that they will be arrested.
William Kelley, vice-president of the
United Textile Workers Union, and
a chief agent in the arrangement of
the surrender of the strike against
the wishes of the workers, has fol-
lowed the example of A. F. L. Rep
resentative McGrady and offered his
services to the lynching gang, the

For the third time this week, a

which proves that the strikers are

was centered around the Brunswick
Cafeteria, 237 West 37th st.
The large squad of policemen

Tom was one of our very
earliest sportive contacts, Is

and we were a budding, yea,

these old, old friendships, and
the cake made us very happy,
indeed.
Clark Griffith and Eddie
Eynon will see the Philadelphia
games of the world series, but
will not take the long trek to
Chicago. It may be that, while
in Philadelphia, Griff will find
that long-sought-after right
hand hitting outfielder which
was supposed to be the missing
link in the Washington ball
club this year.
The first big bet placed on
the impending world series has
been made with j. S. Field &
Co., of Wall Street, who report
a bet of $4,000 against $17,50O
that Chicago would win the
series from the Athletics.
Knute Rockne is probably the
lowest paid coach of any of the

so far as his salary from Notre
Dame is concerned. However,
he has other emoluments, such
as his Studebaker connections,

tours. to Europe which he heads,
that keep the wolf away from
the door.
Somebody is always taking
the joy out of life. The director

Whoever thought of the idea
Of giving Joe Judge a testi-
monial has the wholehearted
support of this observer, and,
we hope, many readers of these
efforts. While the general
opinion is that there is little
sentiment in baseball, you will
no doubt find that in the case of
Joe Judge, the public would
rally to some form of honor for
one of the greatest first base
men of current baseball.
You would indeed have to split
hairs to determine how much
greater first basemen than
Judge, were McInnis and Chase.
We are in hopes that before the
winter is over, Washington fan
dom will take an opportunity
to remember Joe Judge in some
substantial manner, while he is
yet with us as an active dia-
mond figure.
