CHI. COPS MURDER
NEGRO LAD OF IA

CHICAGO, Maroh tom Bar
nett, Negro lad of IA years, is the
third victim Of police terrorism on
the south side of Chicago. Last
week, a police squad brutally muir
dered him by loading him with bull
lets from sawed off shotguns.
A grocery store was robbed by
workers in the poverty stricken south
side. Barnett, employed in the store,
was given a gun and told the get
the robbers" by the store owner. He
gave chase and got one-haf block
away when a police car rushed on
the scene. They opened fire on the
boy in spite of the fact that he stop
ped running when he heard the siren
of the squad car. They made no at
tempt to find out Barnetts iden-
tity. The policy of shoot and ask
questions later" took another life.
The republican machine of Chicago
knows that mass unemployment will
lead many workers to steel in order
to live. The Chicago political ma
chine allows for wholesale graft.
They overlook the shooting of by
ISLANDERS by the rival gangs with
whom the city officials are intimate.
But the stealing of a loaf of bread
is a crime that must be answered
with death. The police we're COM
pletely whitewashed at the coroner's
inquest.
Barnett was the sole support Of
his family. He left school at the
age Of IA and went to work. BY his
work, he supported mother. father
who was hurt in his shop, and two
younger brothers. The family is des-
titute. The city doesn't make even
fake pretense the aid the family.
They want to forget the incident as
they forgot the murder OF Mason, a
Communist worker and Gray, an I'M
employed worker.
The Youn ogCmmunist League
League and Communist Party OF
Chicago have arranged for a mass
protest meeting to demand arrest OF
