Prosecutors obtained from Mrs
Lynn her confession supporting her
grand-daughters' assertions.
The puncturing of the cooked evil
dence, however, was not strong
enough for the white jury to order
immediate acquittal. "The public
must know the facts" Attorney Gen
eral Aggleston said when ordering
continuation of the trial in order to
secure the ten-year sentence.
"That conviction is on false evil
dence is only incidental to the pro-
gram of suppression against Negro
workers throughout the United
States Harold Williams, Negro Di-
rector of the New York District of

Worker yesterday, Such suppress
sion-along class and race lines
can be ended only by unity of Negro

TRAITORS STAB
BRITISH STRIKE
Textile Workers Solid;
Fight Bureaucrats

Continued from Page One)
Cotton Spinners' Association has
forced home its advantage by cam
paigning for the principle of wage
reductions even before further pro-
ceeding.
Against the open alliance of the
nillowners, union bureaucracy and
the labor rulers are the rapidly or.
gained rank and file committees
which advocate copnter-d demands for
higher wages, shorter hours and i'm
proved working conditions. The
British Minority Movement is an ac-
tive propaganda for these demands.
Pointing to the long record Of
vacillation and open treachery of the
present union misleaders, they en-
pose them as being for years the
most vigorous advocates of indus
trial peace. Only through firm strug-
gle against the betrayers, they de-
clare, will the cuts be averted.
Macdonald Aids Sellout.
While Premier Ramsay Macdonald
maintains his policy of keeping in
the background in order to disavow
responsibility for the seilout. en-
ployers have already expressed their
gratitude for his personal interven-

lead, the Daily Herald, labor party

The Communist nominee knows by

Negro worker-in New York City.

"In all my experience 1 found that
if it were true that the white women
workers needed organization, this
was doubly true of the Negroes. In
1918 I helped organize the Women's
Day League. Within three months
we got our first demands for So

Race Unity Essential"
Glow do we propose to get the
eight hour day for women workers 2"
she replied in answer to question.
obviously, Negro women workers
can never hope to accomplish this as

workers is absolutely essential"
Broadening the question, Austin
held that women workers-whethe
Negro or white-could achieve eman-
cipation only with the complete over
throw of the capitalist order on
which is reared a whole system of
suppressive measures. She came to
this conclusion, when attending the

must still study even more intensely

confess that the so-called 'regula-
ton against meetings would be set
aside later on when the republicans
and democrats get ready to hold
open air meetings. This clearly re-
veals the methods by which Tam
many Hall fights it's working class
foes rallying in support of the Com
munist Party.
"Workers in Harlem feel acutely
the misery that is their lot under
Tammany Hall misrule in municipal
government The unbearable hous-
ing conditions have resulted in the
organization of the Harlem Tenants
League, that has organized the only
class resistance to the landlords.
Rent strikes and other forms of re-
sistance to increased rentals have
sent the landlords scurrying to the
protecting arms of their defenders
in the Tammany Hall city admin
stration. Mayor Walker, Governor
Roosevelt and Tammany Hall gen
orally have been profuse in their
promises to the tenants, but all
their support has been given to the
landlords. Mayo Walkers prom
Uses have now been thoroughly dis
counted by the workers in Har-
lem, who are planning a city-wide
conference of tenants for the pur-
pose of organizing a Metropolitan
Tenants League. The housing sit
uation alone SITS all Harlem deeply.
Tammany Hall knows that Harlem
is against it on this issue, as well
as on other municipal problems.
at will not avail the landlords,
who inspire Tammany Hall police
attacks on Communist meetings, to
charge that the Communists are at
lacking the government This will
n prejudice Harlem workers
against the Communist Party. The
Negro workers in Harlem do not
feel that they should worry much
about the Hoover Walker bipartisan
government of lynch law, jim crow
ism, segregation and the most bru-
tai exploitation.
"No republican or democrat has
come forward to protest against the
jim crow rule announced by the Hud-
son Day Line boats, which has
aroused all Harlem.
"The Communist Party and its
candidates do not intend to be 81
fenced on these and other issues.
Police oppression even when con-
tinued in police stations with the
beating of y.lth workers arrested,
as in the case of Jack Rosen, men,
Der of the Young Communist
League, will not gag the Commu-
mist exposures, but rather testify
to their correctness and the fact
they are worrying Tammany Hall,
tool of the capitalist class"

Thousands of workers are sending

Workers throughout the land are

Committee declares.
The petition will demonstrate the
solidarity of the American working
class behind the Gastonia prisoners
and will be presented to the various
North Carolina officials at the
time of the trial.
The work of the petitions is a
phase of the organization of united
front committees of all workers,

PENDANTS from the chair or long
terms in prison.
Commenting on the voluntary"
grant of shorter work day with
out reduction in pay by the cotton
mills of CASTOR County, Jim Reid,
president of the National Textile
Workers Union, said: "The Casio
MIA Goose Stopper in its report tells
of how this concession has been con-
templated' by the mill executives for
some months This small conces-
sion was far from voluntary on the
part of the mill bosses. The mill
executives would be still 'contem-
plating it many months hence if
they were not disturbed, by the en-
ergetic and fearless work of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union in
sending in organizers to organize the
worker slaves of the Manville-
Jenckes and other slave-driving out
fits.
while this shows that the blows
of the union are having a telling eff
feet on the robber mill barons, and
they are trying to placate the work
ers and make them slow up on their
organizing campaign in the South,
it is having the opposite effect. The
workers are working harder to make
a solid fighting union, for they say,
If this can be wrested from the mill
owners with our present strength,
when we are we'll organized we can
get better and better conditions
THE workers are under no illu-
sions as to the positive gains. They
know that the majority of workers
are paid by the piece, but they know
also that the union is working for
the abolition of the piece rate sys-
tenn.
"They know that the union is
working for an S-hour, 5-day week.
They will not be satisfied with the
5-day week with the unbearably long
hours.
"They know that the speed-up that
the bosses have put over makes it
possible for them to squeeze just as
much profit out Of their slaves as
before"
