LILA JIMERS0N'S TRIAL
AWAITS COURT RULING
Indian Woman to Have Second
Hearing for Murder Of Mrs.
Marchand, Artists Wife.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May 20.-Lila
Emerson, Cayuga Indian woman, will
not go on trial a second time for the
murder of Mrs. Clothide Marchand,
wife of the noted artist, Henri Mar
chand, until Supreme Court justice
rules on the legality of the mistrial
which was declared at her first trial.
The Indian woman's second trial was
scheduled to start yesterday, but County
Judge Rowe adjourned the case indefin-
ately.
Attorneys for the woman argued last
week before sthe Supreme Court that
the declaration Of a mistrial at her
first trial amounted to an acouittaI.
inasmuch as her collapse in the court
room was not sufficiently serious to
justify postponment of the trial.

nor exposed. After that exposure her trip was
spoiled and she came to New York
What she did here we don't know but since
she arrived back home in Los Angeles on

Well, It's Over

Life is just one damn Plenum after another.
But this last one of our Central Committee was
described by one of our astute leaders as the
"deflation Plenum." That is, "less high-falutn
talk and more practical work"
Which is all to the good, and was the keynote
Of the affair, in spite of one two discordant
speeches of comrades who insisted on splitting
hairs over which came first, the hen or the egg.
One Of the shining examples of this was
comrade, who perceived in the speech of another
comrade, terrific Importance between tweedle-
dun and tweedle-dee. So he made speech
about it, offering exhibits "a" "B" and so ON,
to prove his point, using up thrifty valuable min
utes or SO to keep the Party from slipping on a
theoretical banana peel but had to wind up by
saying that it had all been explained already in
a Daily Worker editorial weeks ago.
Now why didn't he say so at the beginning,
IN the first three minutes, and devote the rest
Of this time to concrete tasks and methods Of
work?
Hanged if we know unless 1t be an ingrown
desires to show that he's smarter than anybody
else-as distinguished from actually being
smarter. If he was so. he would have used the
time to outdo everybody on the issues of the
Plenum-approach to workers, partial demands,
concrete and planned work.

A Paterson COmmissar
By JORGE

One of the points of the discussion at our
recent Plenum was ON approaching the work.
ers One of the evils noted was that of acting
like drill sergeant in ordering and commands
ing the workers, instead of acting like human
being, convincing Others making them see the
point and working with them in the tasks of
the whole class.
We returned to the Office, to find on our desk
the following excerpts from an article sent in
by Paterson comrade about the conference
there for the protection of the foreign-born.
About which the correspondent said:
"All workers organizations and shop commits
tees are to send delegates to this conference"
Which sounds bit too much like Top Kick
giving orders to bunch of rockies. And if
they don't obey ORDERS we suppose there'll be
complaint that the workers are conservative"
or something.
Added to this was the categorc order to the
Daily that: This release is to be published in
your paper beginning Tuesday edition until and
including Friday" The full carrying out OF
which may be or may be not possible. Anyhow,
we had our orders, too
About this, one of the staff correctly remarked
that: This guy evidently thinks the revolution
has already occurred"

Articlel 5

THE st. Louis convention of the League Of
Struggle for Negro Rights definitely placed
before it's membership and affiliated organza-
tons the essential immediate tasks in the strug-
gle against the white ruling class terrorism and
oppression Of the Negro masses and for uncondi-
tional equal rights with all other natonalities
While the ST. Louis convention decided upon
a loose form of organization of non-dues paying
members and group affiliations, all branches of
the League and all affiliated organizations will
be expected to carry out these immediate tasks
in their various fields of activity.
Must Build Mass Organization.
One of the most important of these tasks is
the creation of an effective instrument of strug-
gle against the special prosecutions and OPP
pressions of the Negro masses in the United
States" and against the reformist allies of the
expressing class within the Negro race. This
must be achieved by building the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights into real mass Or
ganization of Negro and white workers and poor
farmers. In its manifesto to the workers, the
convention pointed out:
"Only through militant struggle of the Negro
masses under the leadership of the Negro work
ers in close alliance with the militant white
workers can the Negro masses achieve liberation"
Must Rally White Masses for Negro Demands.
And towards achieving this unity of white and
Negro workers in the struggle for Negro rights
the convention gave the League a united leader
ship by eecting white workers to its Executive
Committee, among them William z. Foster, Earl
Browder, r. Baker and Clarence Hathaway-all
well-known white workers and trusted leaders
of the militant working class movement in this
country The convention itself, with white work
ers from both the South and the North con-
shutting almost one-third of its delegates was
the first step of the League in this direction.
The major task of the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights is the rallying of the Negro and
white masses to the fight against lynching and
special oppression and in support of the demand
for the right of self-determinaton for the Negro
majorities in the BLACK Belt'-state unity of
the BLACK Belt"-and confscation OF the land
of the white plantation owners for the Negroes
who work the land. Not only the Negro masses
and the northern white masses but the white
workers and poor farmers of the South must be
won for this essential demand. This demand
already exists in the consciousness of the south
ern Negroes but needs crystalization and express
sion. In the past it has manifested itself in re-
sentiment even to this day over the broken prom

"The situation of the poor peasant is vast i'm

population, owned 343469,000 acres of land SIS

When Kondratiev asked how it was that the

seems that the latter answered that this can

In November, 1872, Kondratiev considered that
the reputation of his line by the right wingers

In support of this, IN Kondratievs opinion, were
all those extravagances and distortions of the

to strengthen the position Of the right wingers

New Man Optimist

New York. July 1 Tn the opinion of Andrew McCampbell, newly ap- pointed prohibition administrator for New York state, this city can be made 'as dry as any other city in the country"
 He said for complete success he would need the full cooperation of local officials and the police, and that he intended to invite that CO., operation. Heretofore the local po- lice have confined their prohibition activities to raids on spcakeasies and night clubs of the type they describ- ed as "crimc-brceding.'
 MT. McCampbcll cited two sections of the internal revenue law which he said would be used as aids in en- forCement. One of these provides that any "sellcr" of alcoholic bever- ages operating without a permit is subject to a tax" of $25 a year without a court trial. He sahl ad- ditional penalties provided under the prohibition law can make this tax as much as s2,00o.
 Another section of the internal revenue laws he plans to invoke provides that property in which a still has been found operating, can be seized and forfeited provided the government can show that the owner of the premises knew of the stills existence.

PRIMER TENDENCY
 SEEN IN MARKET
Trading Expands to Profit Of
 Railroad Issues

New York. July 1 tP) - Bonds were steady today, little disposition being apparent in the listed market to move from the present base. Some signs of a firmer tendency de- veloped but the upward movement was hardly perccptible and the sluggishness which has marked the course of prime issues was still re- tarding improvement.
 Trading expanded with convorti- bles and railroad issues profiting from the increased activity, but even there price levels were little disturbed, Foreign bonds were dull but continued on an even keel. There was practically no market for United States Governments which tended higher.
 The test to which the absorptive powers of the market for fixed in terest securities has been subjected during the first half of the year is revealed by figures on new financing during that period. While the total of s4,012,33S,0OO represents only a small increase over the first half of 1929. bond offerings con- stituted S5 per cent Of the total, amounting to $3,519,65A0o0 against s5S2,474,OO0 in equity issues. whereas in a like period last year bond issues represented a little more than half, or 55 per cent, of the new securities. The swing Of the pendulum back towards bonds is attributed to the waning public interest in new stocks issues which followed the fall panic.
 New offerings in June amounted to S673,o5G,ooQ of which S61f,306,- GOO were in bond issues
 New financing today totaled S4t,- 334,o0o including the $1S,97o.O0O per cent bond issue of the City Of Chicago.
