VICIOUS SPEED-UP CAUSES DEATH
OF NEGRO LONGSHOREMAN WHILE
LOADING AT NORFOLK ARMY BASE
Head Crushed in By Heavy Steel Block AS Port
Boom Gives Way Under Overlooking of Nets

NORFOLK, VT, July 19-Speed-up
claimed another victim Thursday,
July 9, among the Negro longshore-
men unloading cargo on the motor
ship "Unicoi," lying at the army base
in Norfolk, Va.
The white stevedore boss was
standing over the hatch, telling the
longshoremen to speed up in order
to get the ship out in record time.
The men were working at full speed
and exerting every muscle under the
watchful eye of the boss. Only long
shoremen who work fast can keep
their job. Speed-up in the hole
means also loading up the nest be-
yond capacity.
In No. 4 hold, net loaded up ex-
ira heavy with jute bales was going
up, and, without warning, the goose
neck Of the runner block attached to
the end of the port boom, gave way.
Overlooking of the cargo sings, to-
gether with defective running gear,
was responsible for the accident
Hurting down 40 feet, part of the
steel block struck a Negro winch
driver on the head with such force
that it crushed in the side of his
head. The dead man sprawled be-
tween the winches, his blood and
brains scattering the deck about
him. On the deck and in the hold

Detroit Workers to
Support Communists

DETROIT, Mich, July 18.-Unen-
ployed workers families are being
evicted in masses. On July II, five
families were evicted in one block
alone. July Is to 49, workers were ar
rested and thrown into Jail for NOV
ing in furniture of evicted unem-
ployed families. The relief has been
cut off all together. The flop"
houses have been closed. Thousands
OF workers are sleeping in parks and
abandoned houses. Police autos are
cruising the streets at night and ar
resting the unemployed and home
less workers and throwing them into
jail holes.
Because of all of this, the workers
are being convinced that the city
administration and the bosses are
for starving out the thousands of
unemployed workers and their chill
dren and they are ready to fight.
All open air meetings, all demon
strations are attended by masses Of
workers and the spirit is a militant
one and ready to fight.
March Police Commissioner
Nominated for Mayor
This militancy of the workers
scares the bosses. They already an
nounced that they will build Citi-
zens Militia to break the workers
demonstrations and meetings. In
addition to this, they strive to put
into the city offices, men who in the
past showed their unlimited hatred
toward the workers. One of such
henchmen is Emmons, ex-Polce
Commissioner who in an unheard of
of barbaric way, broke the unem-
ployed demonstration March 6, last
year in which a hundred thousand
workers participated.
This bloody servant of the bosses
has been already presented with
10000 signatures for Mayor, where
only $4,000 are needed Who were
those signed petitions for him? Nat
urally the bosses, petty business men,
legionnaires, K. K. K. and all the
other of that type
The workers must remember this
henchman and others like him and
rally around the candidates of the
Communist Party, they are: John
Schmies for Mayor; Antonio Ger
ZACH, William Novel;, Joseph Billups
and Nellie Belunas for Councilmen
The first step in this election cam
paign is to get 10000 petition sign
atures for each Of the Communist
candidates. The petitions have to be
filed September and because OF
not very much time is left. We caen
upon workers to take the petitions
and solicit signatures. The petitions
can be obtained at the Election
Campaign Headquarters, 2419 Grand
River.

Tense is the issue around which the

leader, touring nationally for the In

One thousand workers of Seattle

Scottsboro case, showing its connec-

economic basis for the persecution of
the Negroes and called upon all
workers, black and white, native and
foreign-born, to join the defense
movement to free the Scottsboro boys
and liberate all of the class war pris-

There is a tremendous display Of

in the United States.
That wage cut is coming in the
steel industry following the dividend
cut and the cut in wages of office
workers, is admitted by the New York
American. This paper, on its fin

"The drastic reduction In steel's
dividend was unanimously determined
upon by directors not alone in re-
Election of earnings, but certainly
with an eye toward paving the way
for reduction nj wages"
In short, big wage cuts-at least
around 10 per cent-are coming for
the steel workers. At the same time
the u. S. Steel Corporation has over
600,oo0,000 in profits which the boss

slogans Of Full equality for the Ne

This demonstration was one of a
series of meetings held in the Seattle
district of the International Labor
Defense with Richard Moore. The
first held was In Portland where
some 300 workers rallied to hear of
the Scettsboro case. At this meeting
the case was linked up with the Vi

rested and charged with criminal
syndicalism. One of these, Ben b.

It was in Seattle at the Negro Ma
sonic Hall that Moore's meeting drew
the greatest number of Negro work
ers. Out of the $50 workers present,
100 were Negroes. Mass expression
was voiced by the workers present
when the speaker pointed out that it
is the capitalist system that exploits,
starves, persecutes all workers and
doubly so, the Negro workers; that
the attack upon the Scottsboro boys
is an attack upon the entire working
class andu calls for the united action
of all the workers.
