TEXAS AUTHORITIES SHIELD
MURDERERS; TERRORIZE WORKERS

the Trade Union Unity League and
the International Labor Defense
raised great protest throughout the
Southwest.
And now no efforts are being
made by the authorities to actually
find either the bodies of Coder and
Hurst, or the lynchers, The police
and sheriff's men only hunt down
and terrorize other militants here.
Parents Stand by Workers.
The father and mother of Hurst
are frantic, but have pledged them
selves to fight on for the working
class for which their son gave his
life.
Mobbing is encouraged by the state
government, which issued orders Of
ficially to local authorities and ad-
vised business men and patriotic or
CARNATIONS throughout the state to
do the same on Feb. Is to the inter-
national unemployment day demon
STATIONS as was done in Austin. In
Austin the Texas rangers smashed
the demonstration of the unem-
ployed.
This case is important as the bloody
answer of the capitalists to the unit
ed front shown for the first time
this year in Texas of Negro, Mexican
and white American workers and un-
employed. This rising militancy and
solidarity Of labor has driven the
employing class into a murderous
fury.
Newspapers all over Texas are
openly demanding the mobbing and
lynching Of leaders of the workers.
Charles Coder, age 30, acting
Trade Union Unity League organizer
in Dallas, and Lewis Hurst, young
worker, 10 years old, member of the
Young Communist League and Dali
las secretary Of the Communist
Party. were beaten UP IN jail after

issue of March 7 that Dallas city
and county officials Saturday had
made little effort to identify and
punish the members of the mob
which Thursday night kidnapped
George Clifton Edwards, wildly known
attorney, and at the point of a re-
volver, forced him into a motor car
under threat of DEATH" That is the
way their story, the main article
in the paper begins. 1t is character
istic of a capitalist press that it re-
CARDS the kidnapping of lawyer as
worth more attention than the muir

and labor organizers.
Unofficial Information"
The same paper quotes Chief of
Police Claude w Trammell as say
ing:
ut seems from unofficial in
formation, that the party was made
up of Dallas-co and Tarrant-co
men. Who they are, l have no
idea. 1t seems 9 hopeless case I'M
less the two victims are brought
back to Dallas--if they have left
Dallas"
What is it that a policeman calls
unofficial information? And it is
proved beyond a shadow of doubt
that the police themselves cooper
ated fully with the lynch gang.
Further indication of the complete
united front of the Dallas authori-
ties and the lynchers is seen from
the fact that Police Commissioner
Graves of Dallas declared yesterday
"The whole matter is a hoax,
framed as a double barreIed pub
iicity stunt to promote sympathy
for the Communists and Edwards
candidacy for the city council.

From Mike Pell, whom we nom
mate for Captain-in-Chief of the
Albany Red Builders:
Enclosed are photos Of two good
privates in the Red Builders Army.
AS soon as we are regularly organ
lied here, we shall elect a Sergeant
for the Albany Red Builders Com
pany. Comrades Michaels and
Conklin are particularly actIe, and
recommended for promotion to
CorporaIs."
We searched the four corners OF
the envelope, but as we go to press
no trace of the priceless photos
could be found. But we had another
picture of Michaels, which we pub
fish today, and hope Conklin's photo
will turn up before long.

Of our strength which the hunger

Sanitation is unknown in this flop

Are we going to slave for those who
boast there is no slave labor in the

OF vicious lynch terror which seeks
to utterly crush their spirit and pre-
vent any resistance on their part to

offensive which deliberately uses the
plight of the unemployed millions to
Worsen the conditions of the work

In this situation, the Negro masses
