PRESS REPORTS
HECKLINC CHARGE
Trial Attempt to Stop
Jobless Organizing

ATLANTA, Ca, June livery
body can see here the hand of the
American Federation of Labor bu-
reaucracy, working alongside the
hand of the cotton mill owners and
their state government, to burn to
death not only Powers and Carr, but
the other four labor organizers. The
United Press news service, in a
special article from its Atlanta
correspondent, refers to the indict-
ment Saturday as being ION charges
of instruction growing out of the
Communist demonstrations here
and the alleged heckling of Presi-
dent Green of the American Fedora
ton of Labor during an address
here" and states, "the new defen-
dants are named Mary Dalton, At
lanta, charged specifically with
heckling President Green; Ann Bur-
lack, Atlanta; Henry Storey, Atlanta
Negro, and Gilmer Brady, Negro,
New York"
Though the charge of heckling
Green does not, as matter of fact,
appear as one of the counts in the
formal indictment as signed by the
Fulton County grand jury, it is I'M
deniable chat the United Press ac-
curately reports one basis of the
charge and reflects the argument
for rendering the indictment.
Bosses Hate Union.
Although the industrial and finan-
cial interests of Atlanta and Georgia
have not voiced themselves openly
the prosecution, it is clear
that these elements are led by such
forces as the Fulton Bag and Cot
ton Mills, where the National Tex
tile Workers Union, with Mary
Dalton as organizer, has been &C.
tive in organizing the workers.
Fulton Bag" is one of the few
textile mills in this section that is
still working full time. There are
two shifts, 10 hours and 40 min
utes for the day shift and IL hours

MILITIA AIDS
OKLA. MOB TO
LYNCH NEGRO
Capitalist Officials
With Fake defense"
Aid Lynchers
Absurd Resistance"
Oppressed Must Defend
Selves from Mobs
Absurd Resistance"

OKLAHOMA CITY, June 1.-The
-lynching of Henry Argo, a Negro, at
the town of Chickasha near here,
follows the same form as that of
the lynching of George Hughes, Ne
gro worker murdered by white CAPT
talists at Sherman, Texas, recent
ly. 1t is the old fairy tale about
TIE capitalist authorities defend
irg" the Negro against the mob,
which "over:omes" the authorities
and murders the Negro without any
body being hurt hut the victim.
Argo, as usual, was accused of
"rape," as was Hughes, although
Hughes was later shown to have
committed only the "crime" of de-
manding three weeks wages due
him from his employer. Argo, de-
nying the charge, was put into the
Chikasha Jail.
A mob gathered, and the ancient
formalities of a pretended defense"
were gone through. The mayor
"argued" with the mob. The citysat-
torney and county attorney "plead-
ed" with the mob. If it had been a
crowd of unemployed workers led
by Communists demanding bread,
there would have been clubs, bullets
and gas bombs unsparingly used.
| But the mob didn't demand bread,
only the life of a Negro. So they
were allowed to go ahead by the
capitalist government authorities.
The National Guard was called,
but not to protect the Negro, a
militia officer who undoubtedly
would have turned machine guns
without hesitation into a crowd OF
strikers, "failed to quiet the mob"
by adding his argument" to the
other capitalist officials. When he
ordered his men to fire, it was only
with blank cartridges!
SO the militiamen were on the de-
fensive and "took shelter under a
rain of bricks" The farce was con-
tinued by the mob besieging the
militiamen, virtually imp r s o n d
with the Negro in the Jail. Then
the militia made an agreement with
the mob to allow the mob to get at
the Negro while the militiamen,
guns and all, walked out of the
Jail! Not the slightest effort was
made to afford the Negro any
chance.
Then when the mob entered and
shot Argo through the head, he was
taken out, wounded, to a hospital,
but the hospital refused him. Then
he was carried back to the Jail,
which was supposed to be guard
ed" Nevertheless, the husband of
the supposed raped" woman, one
G. w. Skinner, was allowed to enter
the jail and stab the Negro through
the chest, thus adding to his wounds
from which he died here later after
being brought from Chickasha.
Skinner and two or three others
were arrested, but let go free with
out even any bail.

Police Break Up
Anti-Lynch Meet

Police, one with a drawn gun,
broke up an open-air meeting held
to protest the lynch terror in Mount
Vernon under the auspices of the
Young Communist League.
One after another the speakers
were dragged from the stand and
taken to the police station, while the
crowd of workers, including many
Negro workers, booed the police.
On the following day a leaflet
was given out explaining the role
of the police and calling upon all
the workers to participate in body

BRETON DISCUSSES
 POLITICAL FORMS
s. K. Radcliffe Lectures on U.S., England and Russia

Salient characteristics of America, Russia and England were discussed by $. K. Radcliffe of London, in an address delivered yesterday after noon before the Now Britain Wom- ans club. Taking as his topic, America, Russia. Brtain-Thrca Rival Systems" Mr. Radcliffe sail he did not wish 90 draw conpari- sons as to which is best, but to in dicate the different influences being cNrrted in the world today
 "rhr map of Europe shows trr- mcndouS changes in gOvcrnmcnts ls q result of the World war" tn" speaker declared. All countries with the exception of Scandinavia and France have changed political iy and socially during the past l5 years. having gone through period ; of revolution and reconstruction. An outstanding feature of this period has been the disappearance of mans kingshipS and only Britain remains today as q first class monarchy. al ; though many countries retain their citizen kings or hereditary heads while surrcndcrinG the governments to dictators who are monarchs in fact.
 ''Thc United States, Russia and i Great Britain are different in pran- tically everything" he continued. Russia represents the Communstic theory, the United States inc great est single government in tho world and Great Britain, the exponent Of colonial and empire rule.
 "Eussia with it's Soviet holds the unique position of demonstrating for the first time the MarXian theory of socialism in maintaining over q period of l , years q sOcialistiC state. Karl Marx was student of indus triallsm and never thought of his form of socialism being worked out in other than an industrial country. However the remarkable part of the Russian experiment is that there, where peasant power is dominant. one sees his theory applied under circumstances which would have tranScended the widest expectation of the founder.
 The Soviet scheme of reprcscn- tatlon IS founded on the idea of work or occupation, their slogan be- ing that all power shall be given to the sovicts representing the work men, thus setting up dictatorship of the proletariat which has brought about the virtual cxtinctior Of the middle classes.
