Negro Rights, the i-Imperialist
League of the United States. Last
night the Young Communist League,
New York District, sent the following
telegram to Gov, Miller:
''Young Communist League of
New York representing thousands
of working youth protest legal
Iynching of eight young Negro
members of our class, the working
class, at ScOttsboro, Ala. Demand
you stop this legal murder. VIII
back demand by mass protest
ralIying all youth organizations to
their defense"
Solidarity Message To Prisoners.
The League also sent telegram to
the young victims of this latest
frame-up of workers, addressed to
Charles Weems, 20, the Oldest of the
eight boys, at Scottsboro City Jail:
Young white and Negro workers
of New York realize that you have
been framed and are being rail-
rOaded to the electric chair with
your seven comrades. MObiliZing
mass protest to demand your re-
lease. viii do all in power to free
you. Thousands of working youth
rallying to fight for YOU"
All working class organizations are
urged to send protest kilograms to
the governor of Alabama. Rank and
file workers in the A. F. of L. unions
must raise the question and make a
fight to see that their locals join the
growing protest movement against
the legal lynching of these Negro
lads.
Workers Must Raise Issue Everywhere
Members of the refornist Negro
organizations must give their support
to the fight to save these framed
young workers in defiance of their
refornlist leaders who have always
betrayed the struggles of the Negro
masses and cannot be depended upon
to rally their organizations for de-
tense of these eight young workers.
All Out May Day in Protest!
Meetings must be held immediate
ly to mobilize the entire working
class to protest and fight against the
attempted murder of these youths.
The May Day demonstrations, which
will be used to register the deter
mined protest of the working class
against the persecution of Negro and
foreign born workers, against lynch
ing and deportations, against unem-
ployment, starvation, wage cuts, and
preparations for imperialist war
against the Soviet Union, must bring
into the streets on May l every class
conscious worker, every worker OPP
posed to the boss system of starvation
and terrorism.
Negro and white workers! Down
tools May Day and demonstrate
against the boss murderers of white
and Negro workers, and for unem-
pioyment relief and insurance, for the
right of self determination for the
Negro masses of the Black Belt, of
the West Indies and Africa.
The International Labor Defense
has sent a lawyer to Scottsboro to
demand a new trial of an appeal for
these eight youths. The I. L. D., in
order to make it possible to push
this case with the utmost vigor, is
calling upon all workers and sympa-
thizers to Immediately rush funds to
its national office, 799 Broadway, New
York City so the defense will not be
hampered in its work.
Every worker, Negro and white, ma
tive and foreign born, must take up
in his organization this question of
financial support for the defense.
Collect funds in your shops. Rush
money to the I, L. D. for the defense
OF these eight victims of capitalist
Justice"
