"a ruling class never surrenders
without violent struggle to maintain
it's power and privilege" said Dunno.
''The Communist Party is not now
attempting to organize an ata!ed III
surrection in the South or else
where in the U. S. It's task at this
time is to organize the workers for
a militant struggle for higher wages
and better working conditions and
for the political demands that arise
from this struggle, to win the sup
port of the masses for these de-
mands. This struggle consequently
is not only against the bosses but
also against the bosses government.
For the capture of power in a revo-
lutionary crisis which will be pro
duced by the contradictions of CAPT
talism itself, majority of all ex-
plotted classes is necessary"
Right of Self Defense.
Dunno declared that "the prosecu-
ton has done everything in its
power to obscure the central issue
in this case, the right Of workers to
self defense. They ha ,a tried to
make the views of the defendants
on the Negro problem and on reli-
gion overshadow everything else.
There has been no compromise, how
ever, on the part of the N.TW.U. or
the Communist Party on the racial
issue which has been raised in the
trial. The necessity of organizing
the Negro workers for a struggle
shoulder to shoulder with the white
workers has been emphasized. The
Communist Party has feariessly put
forth its program for full racial
equality"
Here in the Southe," declared
Dunno, "the bosses are still able to
create dissention in the ranks of the
workers, by their appeals to preju-
dice but the Communist Party has
done more to overcome this preiu-
dice in the past six months than
was done in the previous six years.
The white workers are realizing that
it il impossible for them to become
force by stepping on the necks of
powerful economic and political
the Negro workers"
"The class issues in this trial have
been put squarely before the work
ing class of the United States de-
spite the pretenses of the prosecu-
ton, the state and the capitalist
press that this is an ordinary MUIR
der trial and that class issues are
not involved. The state has been
forced to recede its original position
that "this is an ordinary murder
trial which will be conducted in q
fair and impartial manner" 1t has
been forced to release all but seven
of the original seventy defendants
and to give up it's hope to burn
them in the electric chair. These
things do not just happen. They
are the result Of the militant CAM
paign to arouse the working class
to a realization of the class issues
in the trial and their significance
to the whole labor movement. One
result Of this has been that the capt.
talist newspapers throughout the
nation and especially in the South
have devoted an enormous amount
of space to conditions in the mills,
wages, hours, and so forth, to the
prevalence of pellagra due to star-a-
ton wages. Since the struggle be-
gan in the South a few months age
in which the Communist Party has
been the stalwart leader, the South
ern working class have advanced
further because TO the sharpness OF
the struggle, then they would have
