Now a word about the positions
ir which I differ with the COM

base, their choice was frankie
Fr1sch, of the Cardinals. In the
later paragraph dealing with sec

sons why Melillo is my choice,
rather than FriSch.
My reasons for picking Earl
Averill over any other center
fielder is given in the paragraph
dealing with centerfielders.
Our only other difference was
in. the selection of pitchers. Grove
was unanimous choice receiving

LSNR BLOCKS
MINI. LYNCH MOB
Attack Instigated by
Landlords

MINNEAPOLIS, July ia lynch
mob of 2,000 instigated by local bus
mess and real estate interests who
objected to colored family moving
into a white residential district was
blocked by the quick action of the
local group of the League of Strug-
gle for Negro Rights which modified
white and Negro workers to defend
the Negro family.
Following the stoning of the home
Of the colored family, the L.SN.R.
organized a workers defense corp of
Negro and white workers and in
stalled it in the home of the family.
A committee was also elected to visit
the farmer-labor faker Mayor An
derson, demanding full protection
for the colored family and scoring
the indifference of the police who
stood by while the hired hoodlums
of the real estate agents stoned the
Negro family. The committee was
headed by Comrade Poindexter, a
Negro working class leader.
The defense activities of the LIS.
Mr. were splendidly supported by
the Communist Party and the Trade
Union Unity League which organ
lied groups Of workers to patrol the
blosk in which the family is situated.
The attack on the colored family
was denounced by the Communist
Party as part Of a nationwide cam
paign by the bosses to pit workers of
different racial groups against each
other and thus divert them from the
necessary struggle against the star
walton program and war prepara-
tons of the bosses. The Party called
upon the workers to defeat this vi
cious vancouver and to unite in COM
mon struggle on August First against
race prejudice, for the release of the
Scottsboro boys, against the war
preparations of the imperialist bos-
ses and for the defense of the Soviet
Union.

Scottsboro protest meeting is part of
a widespread terror organized by the
southern bosses and their police and
supported by such imperialist lack
eys as the leaders of the N.A.A.C.P.
and the Chattanooga Ministers Ali
ance. The bosses are engaged in a
desperate effort to crush the growing
mass movement of white and Negro
workers in defense of the nine
Scottsboro boys.
For several weeks, the N.A.A.C.P.
lead and several of the big preach
ers in the Chattanooga Ministers
Alliance have been fostering this ter
ror, threatening Negro workers with
arrest for supporting the Scottsboro
Defense Conferences and other &C
tivities aimed at mobilizing mass
support for the Scottsboro victims.
Aided by these betrayers of the
struggles of the Negro people, the
police in several southern cities have
arrested scores of Negro workers who
have been active in the Scottsboro
defense movement. Over a score of
delegates to the All Southern Scots
boro Defense Conference held in
Chattanooga during the month of
May we're arrested while on their
way to the conference. Several lead
ers of the defense movement were
arrested by Chattanooga police while
leaving the conference hall at the
close Of the conference.
The attack on last nights meeting,
followed the action Of the local police
in breaking up several other Scots
boro protest meetings in this county.
The night before another meeting
had been broken up by the police.
At Daldeyille, the county seat, a
meeting was also broken up. Chief
of Police j. NJ. Wilson gave as his
reason for breaking up these meet
ings the fact that speakers had adj
vocated full social and political
equality for the Negro People. AS an
afterthought, and taking his cue

FRUIT PACKERS
GET 80 PC. CUT

BY a Cannery Worker Correspondent
MODESTO, Cal, July 17.--Roam-
ing around searching for job, fin
ally got one in Stanislaus County,
where about 1900 workers are now
employed in various canneries. This
cannery opened on the peach pack.
Some canneries around here have
just completed the apricot run, at
which they had to work at a wage
cut. They were hopeful that the
peach pack would net better wages
But we all got fooled as usual.
At the Cooperative Cannery in
Modesto, where about $50 women
and so men are employed, we re-
ceived 80 per cent wage cut as
compared with last year. The first
day we struck and shouted we would
not take it, but unorganized and
without leadership we had to sub
nit for we had to have food, miser-
able though 1t was.
My first week Melted me 1924 for
46 hours. We need an organiza ton
badly. We also need the Daily
Worker and leaflets explaining why
our wage are cut and what We should
do to fight effectively.

PROVIDENCE, r. T., July IT,
The U. S. Department of Labor
which has failed up to today to
break the Rhode Island textile
strikes through arbitration" and
Citizens committees" is now resort
ing to the. "frame-up." When Anna
Burlak was arrested on Wednesday
theimmigration inspectors refused to
show her the warrant for her arrest
and practically kidnapped her. Later
they showed an alleged code tele-
| graphic warrant to Israel Praeger of
the LID. The immigration author
tiles, although knowing that Anna
Burlak is asn American born citizen,
| plan to hold her in the East Boston
immigration station until she proves
her citizenship. This is typical
frame-up method of removing union
organizers from the struggle, while
the other branch of the Labor De-
partment, the arbitration branch
endeavors to sell out the strike. The
same scheme was used in the Law
renee strike last February. Every
r. I. textile worker has learned in
the last number of weeks that the
