ing. Ii has been confined in the
sinking jail of Ellis Island ever since
May Is, when he was ordered de-
ported but stopped at the last minute
by a writ of habeas corpus obtained
under the pressure Of a storm of
mass protest. The bail which was
reduced from $4,000 to $1,000 was ar
ranged by the New York District of
the International Labor Defense.
An appeal has been filed for LIS
case in the Court of Appeals and the
case will come up for trial probably
during the summer However, &C
cording to information obtained by
the International Labor Defense,
there will be no decision for Lis case
until after the Serio case which is the
first of its kind on the calendar, is
settled.
The struggle against the persecu-
ton of the foreign as well as native
Negro and white workers must go for
ward at greater speed. We cannot
rest until the trial date is set. Only
continued mass activity, protest and
organization can save our comrades.

WORKERS BATTLE
COPS ATTACKING
MEET
Denounce Murder of
Negro Worker

BARBERTON, Ohio. May 3D.
Five hundred workers battled police
and American Legion thugs here last
night when the police and their al
lies attempted to break up mass
meeting called to protest against the
brutal murder of Louis Alexander, a
Negro unemployed worker, by Bar
berton, Ohio, police. The meeting
was called by the International La
Dor Defense and the Unemployed
Councils. Conrade Alexander was a
leader of the Barberton Unemployed
Council.
Before the indoor meeting was
broken up by the police a policeman
tried to arrest Jennie Cooper, district
organizer Of the I. L. D. Andy Parks,
Akron organizer of the Trade Union
Unity League, jumped to her defense
and was attacked by the policeman.
Many workers rushed to the defense
of Cooper and Parks and when they
got through with the cop he was
minus his badge, his club and his
gun.
Three attempts by the workers to
continue hne meeting on the strrets
were met by brutal attacks on the
workers with tear gas bombs and
clubs Three workers suffered frac-
tured heads from police and legion
naire blackjackS.
Realizing that the bosses and their
police, scared by the growing unity
of the colored and white workers,
might attack the meeting, the work
err of Akron and Barberton had
organized a Workers Defense Corps.
Although this was the first time the
Defense Corps was used, the workers
gave good account of themselves
and teh Barberton police found they
had real battle.
In spite of the attempts of the
bosses and their police to stifle the
protest of the working class against
the brutal attacks on the Negro
masses, the protests against the mur-
der of Comrade Alexander will con-
tinue. The Akron I. L. D. and I'm
employed Council are arranging a
huge protest meeting for Monday,
June /, at Perkins Square.

NEEDLE STRIKERS
BEAT BACK THUGS

Hundreds of synpathizers of the
strikers Of Needleman and Bremmer,
1853 w. 40th ST., this morning battled
scabS, gorillas and police in front of
the shops. The scabs under the pro-
lection of gorillas and thugs, paid by
the ILGWU company union, are at
tempting to break the heroic strike
conducted by the workers of this firm
against the reduction of wages and
Worsenirg of conditions. When the
scabs and the gorillas arrived a tire
mendous booing and kissing from the
strike spnpathizers arose and the
police and thugs rushed the strikers
and strike sympathizers in an at
tempt to terrorize them. But the
strike synpathiZers answered with q
determined stand giving the. gorillas
stiff fight.
The following strikers were ar
rested:
Salvatore Adchi, Tom KatsiklA
Fannie Shook, Louis Stark.
Two scabs ring leaders, the Kites
brothers were also arrested and
charged with assaulting two strikers.

RAILROAD PAT
DEVINE TO JAIL

NEW YORK.-Pat Devine, acting
secretary of the National Textile
Workers Union, was yesterday SEN
fenced to a year and one day in the
federal penitentiary in Atlanta, Ga,
on charge Of obtaining a. passport
under false pretenses. Judge Colnan,
sitting in the federal district court,
hande down the sentence.
The charge against Devine grew
out of his activities in the Lawrence,
Mass, textile strike early this year.
He was arrested by the immigration
authorities who tried TO get rid of
Tn" ''''''--'t lie American
...s-----v --.-4-r slim to Scot
land. Released on $4,000 bond, he
was arrested again about three
weeks ago, brought from Boston to
New York and charged with obtain
ing passport unde rfalse pretenses.
Isaac Shorr, representing the New
York district OF the International
Labor Defense, defended Devine.
The Judge declared that, on COM
plotting his term, he would be de-
ported and threatened to send him
to Jail for five years IL he ever came
back. Devine is a victim of the gov
eminent drive against the foreign
born; not content with deporting
them, the government is evidently
also trying to throw them into jail
wherever possible.

ANSWER War
MONCERS ON
YOUTH DAY
5 Industrial Centers
Are Concentration
Poin is
First Natl Youth Day
Rally in Thousands on
May 80 and 81

A direct answer to the inperialigt
war mongers will be given by The
thousands of young workers who VIII
demonstrate on National Youth Day
in five cities throughout the coun-
try. The military air nlaneuvers over
the eastern coast show clearly the
preparations that are being made by
the Wall Street government to
plunge the working class into a new
world wide slaughter.
The main slogan of the National
Youth Day demonstrations, the first
of their kind to be held in the U. S.,
will be: Not cent for n1ilitarism!
All war funds for the relief of the
unemployed"
The preparations for thesedemon-
strations, which will be held in Pas
sale, Youngstown, Milwaukee, Du-
luth, and Fresno have been going on
at full speed for the past two weeks.
United front conference of youth Or
carnations have been held in at
least ten cities. An outstanding fea-
ture in these conferences has been
the willingness of Negro youth or
carnations to participate in National
Youth Day, which will also be dem
onstration for the defense of the nine
Scottsboro Negro boys facing a legal
| lyncfling.
/
The young workers in the shops
and factories, whose standard of liv-
ing is being steadily driven down by
unemployment and wage cuts, will
rally on National Youth Day for the
struggle against these rotten condi-
tons The working class children,
led by the Young Pioneers, will DEM
onstrate against their bad school
conditions, and for free food and
clothing for the children of the I'M

meet, the Spartakiad, will be run off
The Spartakiad will take place in
Berlin this July, and the Labor
Sports Union is sending delegation
of American worker athletes to COM
pete with the workers from other
countries.
The first National Youth Day
must set tradition in the working
class movement. Mass demonstra-
tons on May 80 and 81 will show the
imperialist war mongers the deter
mination of the working youth to
fight against their war plans, and
for the defense of the workers IA

Mass Picketing At All
Striking Mines

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 28.-Oyer
300 miners attended the National
Miners Union mass meeting at Slo-
van. Comrade Borich spoke. telling
the miners to prepare for strikes in
other mines in Washington County.
Three hundred attended the Mac
Donald meeting, organizing a strike
committee.
Members of the United Mine
Workers attempted TO work at the
Ceder and Grow mine, They passed
through the mass picket line, but
were prevented from going to work
by the women. One scab slapped
woman in the face, which resulted in
two breakers being thrown
over a fence into a creek and an
other strike-breaker being knocked
unconscious.
There is a mass picket line in all
striking mines The strike relief com
mittee is functioning we'll The strik-
ers are preparing to fight mass evic-
tons from their homes.
To demoralize the strike, tle
United Mine Workers officials are
spreading false rumors about calling
strike at the Pittsburgh terminal
mines. The National Miners Union
Immediately exposed this fake propa-
ganda and sent organizers to the
Terminal mines trying to call strikes.
Several mass meetings will be held
Friday at the Terminal mines. Addi-
tional mines are expected to join the
strike in few days.
The strike sentiment is growing.

workers. Word has been re-
ceived that several northern
elected by the
large conferences already held
in the north, are on their way
and will arrive here Saturday or
Sunday. The conference will open
at II a. m. Sunday.
Local organizations have already
elected over SO delegates to the con-
ference, and it is confidently ex-
pected that this number will be more
than doubled between now and Sun
day, as a result of the excellent
achievements in building up block
and neighborhood committees as a
base for mass support of the confer
ence and real united front from
below. The Southern workers, and
particularly the Negro workers, have
taken instinctively to the work of
building block and neighborhood de-
Tense committees. Such committees
are now operating in practically
every Workin-class section of Chat
tanooga. Even before the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights and the
International Labor Defense, the
two organizations leading the fight
to save the nine boys, had turned
to the building of block committees,
Negro workers had organized sew
eral such committees on their own
initiative.
AS result of the building of these
neighborhood committees, it has been
possible TO exert tremendous mass
pressure on the leadershipS of scores
OF organizations and churches, with
the result that these organizations
are all support ing the conference and
are eelcting, or have already elected,
delegates.
Again emphasizing their undivided
support of the united front defense
policy of the International Labor
Defense, and Of that organization as
the only organization entrusted with
the defense of their boys, the pc
rents and relatives of all nine of the
framed-up ScottSboro Negro boys will
be present at Sundays conference.
