The troopers returned, and charged

truck full of men, women and chill
dren, dubbed the adults unconscious,
and taking the small children up in
their hands, dashed them down on
the paved road. Here too the miners
fought back, and the troopers sud-
denly began to shoot. Over hun
bred shots we're fired, according to
some accounts. Two miners were
shot: William Parsons of Slovane,
shot in the back, and Mike Sklarski,
of Gilmore, shot through the arm.
There are reports that one mined
took gun away from trooper and
shot him with it, but these are I'M
confirmed.
The strike is being spread. Locals

the nVeS or the nine boys,
William Pickens made that discov-
cry Sunday night. Pickens, who first
loudly praised the efforts of the In
ternational Labor Defense to save the
boys, has under pressure of the inn
perialiSt contributors to the N. A..
A. G, P, joined the rest of the N. A.
A @. P. leaders in attacking the
Scottsboro defense Sunday night at
a meeting in a church here he at
tackled the boys parents, who have
all along refused to have anything to
do with the N. A. A. c. P, as igno-
rant and uneducated. He spoke OF
the Negro workers and farmers who
have rallied to the defense of the
boys as the "densely ignorant portion
of the colored population" He at
tackled the I. l.. D. and the Commu-
nists who are leading the fight to
save the boys. After his speech, Ne
gro workers present at the meeting
seized the floor and thorouhgly ex-
posed him. Police called to evict
these militants found that two Negro
working class leaders, Joe Burton
and Gene Braxton, had completely
won the audience ef 100 persons. The
refornists and their police allies
found themselves helpless before the
support of the audience.
DEFENDS KHAN LAWYER AND
WHITE SUPREMACY.
In his speech, Pickens completely
exposed the treacherous character
of the N. A. A. c. p. leadership. He
defended the Khan lawyer, Stephen
II. Roddy,' who helped to railroad
the boys toward the electric chair
in the original trial" He unwit-
tingly revealed the position of the
N. A. A. c. p. leadership as con-
cerned chiefly with maintaining
the present race relationship in the
South of white supremacy and
frightfuI exploitation and degrade
ton of the Negro masses.
1.-The logic of Communist activities
would be the creation of a new ana
more serious race problem in the
South"
He defended the honesty and
motives of the Alabama bosses and
their courts In railroading the nine
innocent Negro boys to the electric
chair. He said:
fhe Communists have poisoned
the minds of these humble, helpless
Negro people concerning the honesty
and motives of the state, courts and
even of Communist Negro lead
ers. The Communists in sapping
through the denSely ignorant portion
of the colored population are GER

relations

and Slavery.
In the face of As known lylnchings
last year and the increasing legal and
extra legal terror against the Negro
masses, millions of whom exist in &C.
tual slavery on the plantations of the
big landowners, Pickens prated about
good race relations" ana defended
the authority of the white ruling
class which robs, exploits and de-
grades the Negro masses. He said:
Red agitators have threatened ev-
cry authority in Alabama. and also

MEN, Continuing his speech,
Pickens unwittingly exposed lies OF
the N. A. A. C. P. leaders that the
parents had asked them to defend
the boys. He admitted that the
parents were soldlyl behind the In
ternational Labor Defense even
though ne continued the SANDER
that they were zoo ignorant to
know what was good for them. He
said:
1.-THE Communists have corralled,
abducted, fenced in and hidden the
relatives to prevent their being APP
preached by agents of laW-abiding
organizations"
GETS ON KNEES BEFORE WHITE
OPPREsSORS.
PiCkens then proceeded TO apollo
gize on his knees 10 the white rul-
ing class oppressors and murderers
of the Negro masses for the mill
fancy of the Negro workers in the
fight to save the boys. In line with
this servile attitude he refused to
admit that an injustice had been
done the nine Negro children SEN
fenced to burn in the electric chair
after a murderous frame-up and
farciaI trial" He said:
IF defendants in the Scottsboro
trials need justice they should get it
from law-abiding Negro and influ-
entail, just-minded whites. The in
fluential South shouldn't take a Sec
ond chance of an age-long rift in the
good relations of the races of this
section. (Ie covered up the fact that
it is the influential South which con-
trolls the court which framed up and
sentenced these boys to burnD
He then pledged the N. A. A. C..
p. leadership to continue its efforts
to curb the resentment of the Ne
gro masses and to strange the
mass fight which alone can save
the boys. He said:
Whatever conservative efforts are
put forth by the N. A. A, c. P. to
defend these cases must first wipe
out the mischief breeding impression
already made by these Communists"
Pickens' traitorous attack on the
defense is endorsed by the Chatta-
nooga Times, boss paper viciously
hostile to the defense. This paper
gives column and a half to his
speech under the significant head:
