N. Y. Labor Defense
MObilizes Workers

Three important new cases are
now being defended by the New
York District of the International
Labor Defense as part of its drive
against the capitalist terror. The
cases include Negro worker, an
Italian and Greek worker.
Andrew Turner, a Negro truck
driver and member of the Chester,
Pa, Drivers Union and of the In
ternational Labor Defense, is now in
the Freehold, N. j., jail on a charge
of manslaughter with bail set at
$4,000. The LID. is investigating
this case and seeking to secure his
release.
Ernest Zinalevine, an italian
worker, has been framed up by fas-
cists on charge of felonious as
sault. He will receive hearing to-
morrow wednesday, and will be
defended by Jacques Buitenkant,
LID. attorney.
Michael Orfanos, a Greek worker,
is now at Ellis Island, where he is
being held for deportation to Greece,
where the white terror RACES, on a
charge of illegal entry. The charge
is without foundation as Orfanos
lived in this country for Is years
and left for a few months. On his
return the charge was made that
somebody had already entered un-
der his name.
The LID. is modifying the work
ers in the New York district to

Stocks Fall Over Two Billion in 1929

Reports, post mortems on the
market crash, by accountants and
financial "seers" like Frazier Jelke
a Co., released yesterday show that
100 leading stocks dropped a total
Of s2.709,474, 900 during 1929. The
finaneiers console themselves with
the idea that outside of the seven
motor stocks, most of them are a
little higher than at the end of 1927.
Ten Of the utilities are s2,074,134,-
600 less than last August, but are
q little higher than at the beginning
Of the year. The figures show the
peak Of stock prices was in August.
The debacle took place in September.
And automobiles particularly, didn't
recover much.
What the survey does not show,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-01-09

at least in the news released yes
terday for the press, is that for
months before the crash came, the
general industrial conditions, and
particularly the automobile situation
was getting worse and worse.
Stock prices were kept up for a
while to fleece the lambs and to try
and bolster business, artificially.
But it couldn't last.
Neither does Wall Street now
worry much over the misery, star
walton and cold that lies over large
sections of the working class as a
result of the unemployment which
is one side of the depression. That
worry will come when the unem-
ployed follow the lead of the Com
munist Party and organize to fight
for relief.

Third Party Plan

they get what they want, a place at
the feed trough, and the economic
interests that require a third party
are still to tumble around for q
while.
The finance committee meeting to-
day at which the Smoot vote changed
was supposed to be ultra secret. But
the first part of the meeting was
taken up with an acrimonious debate
over who could have betrayed the
proceedings of yesterdays suppos-
eddy just as secret meeting. Tomor-
row there will be another meeting to
fix the blame for today's exposures
Somebody suggests there isn't even
honor among senators.

Edwards, LID Delegate
Exposed Murder

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Jan. g.
Threats to kill jim Edwards, who
signed an affidavit that Willie Nc
Daniels, a Negro tenant farmer
who was found with a broken neck
several months ago, had been
lynched by a group of wealthy
landowners, continue to be made,
according to a letter received to-
day by the International Labor De-
Tense. Edwards is now missing,
and the gravest fears are felt. He
was a delegate to the Fourth Ma
tional Conference of the LID.
McDaniels was lynched because
he demanded that his wife be paid
for picking some blackberries. His
body was found the following day
near the farm on which he worked
for Grier.
Tried To Murder.
1t is common knowledge that
Grier, the wealthy farmer, looked
for McDaniels with a gun, with the
intention of numbering the Negro
worker. 1t is also known thai
Grier tried to have McDaniels ar.
rested to prevent him from leaving
the farm and applied to the RuraI
Police to have him arrested.
The police gave their permission
that McDaniels be lynched wher
they said "You don't need any war.
