$4,000 Miners
Children Starving
Charities Admit That
Situation Is Grave

That $4,000 miners children are
facing starvation in Pennsylvania,
Kentucky and w. Virginia is admit
ted in an appeal for funds made by
the American Friends Service Com
mittee, fake relief agency operat-
ing from Philadelphia. The report
states that clothes for the children
are made out of flour sacks and they
aren't even enough to allow change
once in a while. The committee
states that the cost of feeding child
is about five cents a day, so it can
be imagined what sort of meal these
starving children are given.
Not only the children are in this
condition. Thousands of miners have
been blacklisted because Of their ac-
tivities in the last strike and the COM
mittee states that over 100000 miners
have been thrown out of work per-
manently because of naturalization
and closing down of mines.
The only organization that provides
relief to the blacklisted miners and
theri families is the Workers Interna-
tional Relief at 799 Broadway, New
York City.

TORONTO, Canada. - Wednesday
the Grown called its star witness,
Sergeant John Leopoud, alias Essel-
vein of the Royal Mounted Police.
Spy Esselwein stated that he was in
the Mounted Police since 1918, that he
joined the Communist Party in 1921
and was expelled in 1923. Esselwein
said he was secretary of the Regina
branch of the Communist Party Of
Canada and was present at conven-
tons and plenary meetings Of the
Party.
The Crown played up Leopold's
testimony about the existence of
the former underground Communist
Party and the Workers Party, The
spy Esselwein then said that three
thousand dollars had been received
from Moscow with instructions and
stated that Sen Katayama, Charles
Scott and Louis Fraina directed the
formation of the Party while zino-
view, Radek and Bukharin gave Can
ada their attention. Esselwein told of
what he claimed were the secret
codes of the Party.
Someryille, Crown prosecutor, then
read the twenty one points of the
Communist International in regards
to work in the army, anti-parliamen-
tarism and defense of the Soviet
Union.
Hugh Macdonald, defense attor-
ney objected to the use of books
seized in the raids as evidence but
the bench overruled the objections.

hegemony of the Pacific with the
publication of secret declaration
made by Baron Tanaka in 1927 when
he was Japanese Premier.
"Japan's aggressive tendencies
will not end with China" the
Pravda declares. "She has designs
on the Philippines, the Malyan ar
chipelego, Guam, Tahiti, Samoa
and Australia. To capture China
we must also capture Manchuria
and Mongolia"
The Tanaka statement published
by Pravda says, in part:
"Japan must remove her diff
culties in Eastern Asia by estab-
fishing policy of blood and iron.
If we intend to control over China,
we must first crush the United
States.''
The conflict in Manchuria, warns
Pravda, might presage fight for a
new division of the world, for 1t is
inseparably linked with conf
among imperialist nations for con-
troll of the Pacific. The Japanese &C.
cupation of Manchu-ia was de-
nounced as "the worst kind of ag-
erosion, typical of imperialistic policy,
and an interlude for a new impe-
realistic war;"

.NAACP Betrayal Of
9 ScOttSbOrO Boys
Moulder.

BOSTON, Mass.-Before a large,
enthusiastic audience of workers,
Lieutenant Amsell A. 'Colbrooke,
World War veteran, attacked the
Alabama lynch law frame-up Of the
nine innocent Scottsboro Negro boys
and exposed the traitorous activities
of the NAACP misleaders in support
Of the Alabama boss lynchers.
Lieutenant Colbrooke, a vivid and
brilliant mass speaker, spoke at a
Scottsboro defense meeting called by
the North End Scottsboro Defense
Committee at the Olney SA'eet Bap-
fist Church.
The audience applauded vigorously
as he told Of the great mass fight, led
by the International Labor Defnese
and the League of Struggle for Ne
gro Rights, to smash the lynch frame
up and free the innocent working
class children.
A veteran of the World War, Col
brooke told of various authentic
cases, where In several southern
states the uniforms of co1ored SOL
diers were ripped from their backs
by the imperialist bosses and those
under the influence of their race
hatred poison. He scored the bosses
government in its discrimination
against coIored workers in various
government departments in Wash
ington.
Telling the audience of the mill
tant struggle of the textile workers
against wage cuts and the lowering OF
the standards of the working class
Colbrooke called upon the workers to
defend Ann Burlak and other strike
leaders arrested by the bosses in their
effort to break the strike. He pointed
out that Ann Burlak is one OF six
white and Negro workers facing cleo
trocution in Georgia for their actiy-
tiles in fighting the imperialist race
hatred poison and organizing white
and Negro workers together for joint
struggle against their common oppres-
sors. He urged the Negro masses to
unite with their fellow white workers
in the necessary fight against starva-
ton, against imperialist war on the
Soviet Union, and for unconditional
equal rights of the Negro masses.

NEGRO WOMAN;
Boss Lures Her On Job
Promise

CLEVELAND, Nov. 6. (CNA).-
Hazel Ford, unemployed Negro wo-
man, applying for a job as a servant,
was forcibly carried in a car to a
woodsby a white employer here and
raped.
Miss Ford had advertised in the
newspaper for employment. The
white boss, reading the ad, called her
and told her that his wife wanted a
girl to care for his children two days
a week for which she would be paid
SIS weekly. She was instructed to
take a car and get off at the end of
the line. Strivers the white man,
met her and told her he was going to
take her to his brothers wife. When
they had driven some distance out Of
town, Miss Ford became alarmed and
demanded to be taken back. He
forced her to stay in the car anG then
left her in the woods after he had
raped her.
The shock from the assault was so
great that Miss Ford attempted to
commit suicide by drinking poison but
her sister stopped her on the moment.
Although the name of the white
rapist is known as well as his license
plate numbers no action has been
taken against him by the authorities.
Members Of the white ruling class do
with Negro women as they will,
knowing that they will be protected
by the lynch law system.

Esselwein testified the fourth day
of the trial again telling the usual
stories Of Moscow direction and H.
legal activities. Macdonald cross
examined Leopold who admitted
membership in one Big Union prior
to joining the Communist Party, also
his activities in the Party and as

further objection. The theses of the
Sixth World Congress of the Com
muniSt International, the Communist

The Crown prosecutor emphasized
that the struggle against the Right

ATLANTA POLICE
KILL NEGRO LAD

ATLANTA, Nov. 6. (CNA).-A l5-
year-old Negro boy, Frampton Will
iams was shot to death by the At
lanta police, in circumstances which
point to another lynching by these
thugs of the white ruling class.
The police showered bullets at the
boy, one killing him. The police claim
they shot the boy because he had
stolen a car. Neighbors found the
boy the next day under house in
the neighborhood.
This terror against the jim croWed
and prosecuted Negroes of Atlanta
