NEW YORK. Demonstrations
against the Scottsboro bosses court
lynch verdict railroading eight in
nocent Negro boys to the electric
chair and threatening another with
life imprisonment took place thru
out the country on Thursday, July
9, the eve of the day originally set
by the Alabama bosses and their
courts for the mass murder of
these working class children.
Tens of thousands of colored and
white workers and synlpathizers par
ticipated in these demonstrations,
carrying to new high levels the strug-
gle against the legal lynching Of the
boys against the rightful persecution
of the Negro people Of which the
lynch verdict is part. The dem
onstrations served to rally additional
masses to the fight to free the boys
and helped to lay the basis for the
larger demonstrations on August lst
against imperiaist war and the
Scottsboro frame-up. While reports
have been received from only few
cities so far, these reports give a
good idea Of the success and scoops
of the demonstrations.
