FRAME LINDEN. N.
J. NEGRO WORKER
Attack Charge Raised
Against J. Peters

LINDEN, N. j. - Another Negro
worker has been framed up on the
charge of attacking" white wo-
man. Thus the courts of the north
are proving to tie courts in the
south that they are children of the
same capitalist mother
Jacob Peters, a Negro worker of
Linden, who was arrested on March
z, was sentenced on June 8 by Judge
Alfred Stein of the Elizabeth Coun-
ty Court to three years in the state
penitentiary on a fake "attack"
charge. Two Investigators for the
New York District of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense have definitely
established that Peters was framed
up and found guilty for no other
reason than that h els a Negro.
On the evening of December 90,

of Bertha Joest, was attacked and

formed a posse and went hunting

The case was forgotten until March

u. 5. DEBT
MOVE is A
Step TO WAR
Wall Street Rushes In
To Save German
Capitalism
Seek Arms Supremacy
Forge Anti-Soviet War
Front Of Imperialists

WASHINGTON, June 21-On in
structions from Andrew Mellon, Sec
rotary of the treasury, now in Lon
don, and after various conferences
between leading Morgan bankers, in
Guiding Owen D. Young, Gates Nc
Garrah, ETC., President Hoover has
issued statement proposing the
suspension of war debts payments"
for the duration of one year.
American imperialism in an effort
to prop up the collapsing capitalist
regime in Germany and to strength
en- the anti-Soviet front throughout
the world, has taken direct measures
regarding the payment of repara-
tons. Hoover, in his statement, how
ever, points out that this by no
means signifies the cancellation of
war debts. However, he has been
compelled to retreat a slept from
his former policy. He states that
these payments are merely postponed
for one year, in order to give the
Bruening dictatorship a shance to
strengthen itself and beat back the
advancing revolutionary workingclaSs.
The pressure on the German masses
will be greater than ever, as Ameri-
can Imperialism tightens it's debt
supervision and the payments must
be continued after the year.
Andrew Mellon who has conferred
with the British imperialist Labor"
premier, Ramsay Macdonald, also
held conversations with Mon
tague Norman, governor of the bank
of England. 1t was after these con-
versations that Hoover issued the
Preparations suspension" statement.
Previously Hoover and Borah dec
Jared that reparations were linked up
with ornaments. Hoover proposed
that the European competitors of
American capitalism limit their ar
maments, thus giving American capt.
talism supremacy in world armed
forces. The suspension OF payments
amounting to s35o,ooO,Ooo annually to
the United States, and with it the
forced reduction of European arma-
ments, would result thereby in sup
remacy In ornaments of the United
States, position which would other
wise cost it over $1,00o,00o,OOO year
in addition to present war expendi-
lures. In this way American impe-
rialisin gains cheaply what it has
been striving for in preparation for
the next hnperialist war.
1t was announced recently in
Washington that Secretary of state
Stimson. would make trip to Lon
don, Paris, Rome and Berlin in July
to discuss ornaments in connection
with reparations.

Huntsville Cop
Tries To Hide
Lynching Of Negro
Threatens |. L. D. Or
g'anizer for Lynch
Protest

CHATTANOOGA, June 21.-The
Southern district of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense toegy received
telegram from H. c. Blakemore,
chief of police of Huntsville Ala, in
reply to its protest against the lynch
ing of Thomas Jasper, a Negro
worker. Jasper was kidnapped from
the city Jail at Huntsville by two
white men, one of them his former
employer.
The crime occurred last Tuesday.
AT that time the police told a fairy
tale of being lured from the jail
building by a fake emergency call
and returning to find the lock of
the jail filed off, Jasper's cell broken
into and Jasper missing. The chief
of police at that time expressed "the
fear that Jasper had been lynched.
Now, however, finding that work.
ing-class organizations are protest
ing this latest outrage against the
Negro people, the chief of police
springs the lie that Jasper broke out
of Jail. He attempts to back up this
brazen lie with vicious threat to
the I. l.. D. organizer. His telegram
follows;
Jasper not lynched, but made get
away. Police department has done
everything possible to apprehend alb
ductor. Believe in unfolding law
and resent your implication of this
departments cooperation with law
v.olators. Come to Huntsville and
make your charges in person, and
don't send us any messages as to
how to attend to our business. We
swore to uphold and defend con-
stitution when we took office. Can
you say as much? We do not con-
slider 1t any of your business what we
do at our Jail. You are not tax
payer of this community"
This tool of the capitalists will in
creasingly find that not only the
workers of the United States, but the
workers of the whole world are in
terested in stopping the crimes OF
the Southern ruling class against the
Negro people.
