The Tweed Ring, which stole a
minimum of S2OO,O00,O00 from the
city, could not have functioned for
a minute if the church, judges,
police, city officials and news
papers hadn't worked hand and
glove with it. Eve nthough class
lines We're not so sharply drawn
then as now, the exploiting classes
realized that a complete exposure
of Tammany would mean not only
an exposure of the Hall but a
revealing glance into the very
nature of capitalism itself.
Capitalism, corrupt at its core,
exudes such organizations as
Tammany just as filth exudes a
plague. If Tammany didn't exist
in New York, its function would
be taken over by an exactly SINH
lar institution. Philadelphia has
its Ware, Chicago has its Thomp-
son, Jersey City has it's Hague,
Milwaukee has it's Socialist
Hoan and Albany has its O'Con-
nell. The function of each is ex-
actly the same. To provide a

BOSSES WHIP
UP PREJUDICE
in GA. TRIALS
Latest Lynching Used
to Stir Race Passions
in South
Trial Opens Tuesday
Court Orders Negro
Comrades on First

The southern bosses are franti-
cally setting the stage for judicial
lynching of Herbert Newton and
Henry Storey, the two Negro Gin
surrection" defendants who go on
trial next Tuesday in Atlanta, Ga.
Two events which occurred yes
terday at widely separated points
in the South show the extent to
which the bosses are going in whip
ping up lynching sentiment against
the two Negro defendants, whom
the Atlanta courts have deliberately
isolated from the four white work
ers held on the same charge.
In Thomasvill, Ga, yesterday, a
20-year-old Negro worker, Willie
Kirkland, was lynched by a mob or.
ganized by the bosses on the lying
charge that he had raped the nine
year old daughter of his boss.
Southern bosses always have con-
venient at hand wives and daugh-
tiers willing to do their bidding in
framing up militant Negro workers.
The International Labor Defense
has been warned by telegram from
its southern organizer, Jennie Coop
err, who is now in Atlanta, Ca, that
the Atlanta bosses and their press
have seized upon this lynching and
its rape charge to stir up sentiment
against Newton and Storey.
In Miami, Fla, another group OF
the southern bosses, staged a vi
cious attack on David Weinberg, a
local member of the l. L. D. Vein
berg was thrown from an automo-
bile into a downtown street early
yesterday morning after being kid
mapped, brutally beaten, bound and
gagged and covered with tar and
feathers and then wrapped in a
white, hooded garment.
Taken to a hospital by passers-by
who picked him UP, he was instant
ly placed under arrest by the Miami
police who made no effort to find
those responsible for the outrage.
The police, who seem quite familiar
with the motives back of the attack,
declared today he was attacked be-
cause of his Communistic talk and
the presence in his home of Com
munist booklets advocating race
equality. This attack is significant
in view Of the splen'Hd support
given the Atlanta derc~ rs by the
Miami workers, many of them going
hundreds of miles to attend meet
ings called to demand the uncondi-
tional release of the six defendants.
A statement issued by Louis Eng
dahl, national secretary of the l. L.
| D., denounces these two latest out
RACES as deliberate attempts on the
part of the southern bosses to stir
up lynching sentiment against New
ton and Brady and calls upon the
workers, South and North, to defeat
the murderous plans of the south
ern bosses.

J0BLESS FORCED

SHELTER IN JAIL
5000 Arrests Daily in
New York

NEW YORK.-Six thousand peo-
pie are arrested evedy day in New
York, Richard C. Paterson, Jr., COM
missioner of Correction" stated
yesterday. All prisons are over
crowded. At the Tombs, which has
cell accommodations for only 446
prisoners, 804 are housed now, all
of them ::doubled up" in the cells
in order to provide sleeping quar-
tiers for all of them. Mr.. Paterson,
who stated that the present figures
on the number of people arrested
every day are the highest since
1914, predicted rise to 1000 pris-
oners daily during the winter
months.
The frightfully large number of
workers locked up in the over
crowded, filthy, disease-infested
New York prisons, is one of the
features of the present plight of
over eight million unemployed work
ers in the richest capitalist coun-
try. Many unemployed are trying
to get arrested on various kinds of
"crime" in order to find whatever
shelter" and flood" they can get
from the city administration, by be-
coming prisoners.
That is how Tamany and all cap.
italist parties are trying to ere
lieve" the suffering of the millions
of unemployed, by offering some
thousands of them the city jails
or an old suit of clothes of Mayo
Walker, or the garbage pals of tn,
rich.

of thousands of graft to prevent
the state from owning public
power sites. How profitable it
was for the lecherous Jimmy
Walker to below for a five-cent
fare while he and Senator Hast
ings were being given 100000
each to railroad through a bus
franchise for the B.M.T. that
would have made that fare i'm
possible.
How charitable it was for
Tweed to distribute several hun

gang robbed the city treasury of

Unexplained Item of $4,000. 900
Today Tammany opens an EN-.

is nothing more than a part Of
the wage-cutting drive instituted
by capitalists to take advantage OF
the more than eight million I'M
employed) and the New York
Times gurgles contentedly on the

City is taking in its "unemploy.
ment problem" This morning q

that there is an unexplained"
item of S23,00O,o0O.
Unexplained to whom? Yester-
day Grover Whalen took a hun
bred thousand dollars to prevent
taxi drivers from charging less
than the prevailing rate. To-
morrow the Sixth Ave. L will be
RACED, with resultant discomfort
to hundreds of thousands of strap
hangers, and Tammany property
holders will benefit to the extent
of hundred of millions of dollars
in increased valuations.
1t is nothing more or less than
the old "shell game" as old as
democracy itself. Capitalism,
realizing that its own representa-
tives inspire fear and hatred in
the masses" to further it's own
exploiting ends. Wasn't Jimmy
Walker born on the East Side I?
And AL Smith? And Grover
Whalen? Wasn't Hoover the son
of a poverty-stricken blacksmith?
How much easier it is to use
Jimmy and AL and Herbert instead
of Morgan and Rockefeller and
Guggenheim?
