NEW YORK.-Frame-ups, legal
lynching, terror, are increasing in
the United States. The Interna-
tional Labor Defense is the only
working-class- defense organization
that struggles continually to smash
the frame-up system and the other
weapons of persecution used by the
judicial arms of the capitalist state.
Certain phases of the Sacco- Van
zetti agitation may be useful as a
guide for future action. In 1926
and 1927 especially many attempts
were made by the Jewish Daily For
ward and other professional red
baiters to injure the work done by
the !. L. d. to rally the masses of
the workers in protest against the
frame-up.

Here we had both the national
and local offices of the |. l.. d. do

of the framc-up and to rouse the

many comrades who helped in the
work. And then would come Shiny

DETROIT, Aug. 14.-Philip Ray

Auto Workers Union, is the Com

elections that take place on Sep
TENDER 9. The Communist Party,
Detroit, has issued leaflet TO all
workers calling on them to sign the
petitions for the Communist eandi-
date and to vote for Raymond, ON
September 8.
After exposing Bowles, the pres
ent mayor who has been recalled,
and the other capitalist candidates,
as tools Of the auto bosses, the
bankers and the underworld, the
leaflet states:
There will be only one Party
and one candidate representing the
interests Of the workers. The
Communist Party has put forth
Philip Raymond, National Organ
izer Of the Auto Workers Union,
militant auto worker who has
shown in more than one struggle
his devotion to the interests of the

date for Mayor in the election on

asked to sign petitions for Philip

Lynchlngs of
Marion Teach
T0lIens Lesson

Several significant features stand
out glaringly in the brutal double
lynching at Marion, Ind, last Thurs
day, of two Negro young workers,
Thomas Ship, is, and Abram
Smith, 10.
First, is the open admission by
the capitalist officials and press
that these mob murders were COM
mitted by leading business men.
The Marion Chronicle declares that
the lynching was done by good
citizens"
Second, is the confession that
these men are known to the sheriff
and other officers who do not intend
to take any action against them:
Third, the prosecuting attorney
made no effort to conceal the role
of the capitalist state in supporting
lynch law.
Fourth, the treacherous, stool
pigeon role of the Negro petty bour-
geoisie was clearly revealed in the
action of two Negro preachers, DR..
w. 7. Bailey and Rev. William
Oglesby, local head of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People in warning the sher-
iff that the Negro workers planned
retaliation against the business men

Fake News
by a Worker Correspondent

by q Worker Correspondent
ALLENTOWN, Pa.--A couple of
weeks ago all Allentown papers
carried the optimistic news that 500
men are going to get jobs on street
construction. But when the men
came out for the jobs they found
that the contractors could not even
supply "his own" two hundred
workers who have been waiting for
this job some time.
For more than a week two to
five hundred men came around ask
ing for jobs but only one or two
would sometimes be taken on, and
sometimes no one. These men were
mostly skilled workers and were
now ready to take this job as plain
laborers at 40 cents an hour, for
perhaps a few days.
This broke some of the illusions
that these workers who are mostly
Pennsylvania Dutch had about their
city council. So that when the
Daily Worker was passed out
among them they all took it eagerly
and next time we came around they
asked for more. After a few days
of personal conversation with these
workers a short meeting was held
on the corner of 7th and Gordon
Sts., where these men were waiting
for the jobs. From this meeting
about 1875 marched to the new
Workers Center of Allentown. They
did this in spite of the fact that
the "boss" hadn't been around as
yet for after the short meeting and
the weeks experience they realized
that it was no use waiting for any
work there.
At the Workers Center, 337 Ham
ilton ST., we had a regular business
meeting where rs workers signed
up and Joined the unemployed coun-
Gil of Allentown; an executive conf

(By Worker Correspondent
DETROIT, Mich.-This week the
newspapers splashed over the first
page and in editorials about the
fact that the crisis is over and that
we are starting to work again Mon
day, August 4th. Monday morning
there was big headlines about the
100000 workers that went back on
the job.
But they did not tell about the
story that l am writing you. | am

land Park. After being laid off for
two weeks we were glad when they
told us that we start work on
August 4th. So that night / went
to work. After working three hours
l was told to 60 home. Others
were sent home even earlier and at
most some worked for hours. We
were not only sent home, but our
pages taken away and told to come
for our pay on Saturday. This
means that we are all fired and
now the newspapers do not say a
word about what happened the first
night we were back on the job.
Husbands Jobless.
Many women cried as they were
fired after being out of work al
ready for a few weeks. No hope
was even given to us to return.
Most of the women, whose husbands
have not worked a day this year
depended on the few dollars brought
home by the wives after Shaving all
night at Briggs. And now even this
is cut off with no opportunity of
getting work again.
The only shift that remains is the
day shift. And they have already
cut the wages again fifty per cent.
When we get the pay envelopes on
Saturday every one is sure that it
will be a fifty per cent wage cut.
You know in Briggs they don't an
nounce wage cuts in advance, you
just get your pay and find less than
last week, that's all.

leaders of trN Auto Workers Union
every time they tried to tell us what
is coming. But now | see the rea-
sons clearly. Every worker in
Briggs must see that it is no use
hoping any longer. Every one of
us separately they can treat like
cattle. Just throw us out now to
starve. We must answer it by or
ganizing. Even if we have no Jobs
let us all get together and fight
together; it makes no difference,
men and women.
Yours for the building of a strong

TWO BETH. STEEL
men DIE OF BURNS.

BETHLEHEM, Pa.-On Aug. 9th,
two workers in department D. F. of
the Bethlehem Steel Co. were burned
by the fire from a broken blast
furnace. One of them suffered "a
hours before he died, the other suf-
fered few days more. Both were
young men 30-35 years of age.
According to the bylaws of the
Bethlehem Steel Co. a furnace is
supposed to be stopped while it is
being repaired but the bosses say
that it costs the company $25 a
minute when a furnace is closed,
and so the men were forced to fix
the furnace while it was on.
The conditions of the workers in
the Bethlehem Steel Co. have been
going from bad to worse in the last
year. Most of the workers are only
working or days week. Wages
are cut daily. Skilled workers
working 10 hours a day make as
low as $15-$20 a week. But the
company made $4O,OO0,OO0 profit in
the last year.

900, 900 so it can pay its employees,
buy coal to heat poorhouses and
hospitals and keep its children in

indicated tentatively that they
would furnish the golden flow of
money to lubricate the wheels of

Six different plans for relief,
proposed by as many groups, were
considered. Of the six, the one
advanced by William H. Malone,
state tax commissioner, appeared
to offer the most hope.
Thursday, Malone, who said he

the proposition that they put their
