MYSTERY STORY

The playwrights have used about
everything but the kitchen sink in
THE Blue Chest" to get thrills,
laughs and gasps.
I have maintained that THE Bat"
was the only stage mystery play I
have seen that possessed literary
merit. There was a reason for
everything that happened in 1.-The

There really is no reason for any
thing that happens in 1.-THE Blue

walking skeletons, wild old men
gone a little wilder each second;
lights going off and on for no rea-

dragged off the stage in darkness
only to appear before a man from
headquarters with a gun that he

DELAY HEARING
OF STEPHENSON
PLEA FOR WRIT
Venue Change Asked;
Names of Three Judges
Are Presented.

By United Press
MICHIGAN CITY, June %
Hearing on a habeas corpus petit
ton for D. c. Stephenson, serving
life term In state prison for the
murder of Madge Oberholtzer of
indianapolis, was continued until
Thursday morning in La Porte su-
perior court today by Judge Harry
L. Crumpacker, after the defense
counsel had asked a change of
venue.
Stephenson appeared in the court
room with John Norman, prison
trustee; Warden Walter DAILY and
two guards.
Attorneys for the prisoner i'm
mediately asked change of venue
and Judge Crumpacker presented
the names Of Judge Albert J. Link
OF La Porte circuit court; John G.
Richter, former La Porte circuit
court judge, and Judge Grant Crum-
packer Of Porter circuit court as
candidates to succeed him on the
bench during the proceedings
Thursday
Stephenson's attorneys struck off
the name of Judge Link, and Joseph
Hutchinson and v. Ed Funk, deputy
attorney general, asked that they
be given two days to consider which
name the state would strike off.
Thursday morning at $50, the
state will announce the result of its
consideration and Judge Harry
Crumpacker will advise the Judge
whose name remains on the list
that he has been chosen to take the
bench. At that time, Judge Crum-
packer also will set the date for
hearing on the habeas corpus petit
ton.
Attorneys for Stephenson have
said they wished Judge Harry l..
Crumpacker to appear as a ma
terial witness, but court followers
said they thought the change of
venue was asked because the SUI
perior court judge had heard pre-
vious arguments in the case.

MEET FRIDAY MITE
FIGHT FRAME-UPS
Smash Scottsboro, Pat

NEW YORK.-The mighty tide of
working class protest at the cynical
attempts of the southern ruling class
to murder eight unemployed young
Negroes on framed charges of attack
ing two white girls will swell to even
greater heights Friday night when
hundreds of New York workers, gath
ering at mass meeting in st. Luke's
Hall, 125 W. 130th ST., will demand
a new trial for the eight boys, with
jury composed entirely of white
and Negro workers.
Friday nights meeting will also
sound the call to struggle against an
other frame-up in which the ruling
class of the north is showing itself
no whit less savage than that of the
south in its attempts to crush the
militant working class. This frame
up involves five Paterson, N. j., silk
strikers, who are held responsible for
the death of Max Urban, silk mill
owner against whom the National
Textile Workers Union was conduct
ing a strike. Urban died after an
attack by personal enemies (proba-
bly, from the UNDERWORLD; the po-
lice have made no efforts to appre-
hend the true muderers, but instead
have framed up the strikers in an
attempt to drive militant unionism
out of Paterson. s9s
The protest meeting will be held
under the joint auspices of the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights
and the New York District of the
International Labor Defense. Speak
ers will include William L. Patterson
of the L. S. N. r., recently returned
from the only country that has abol-
ished race and national oppression,
the Soviet Union; G. A. Hathaway,
of the Communist Party, and Rich

9 FOOD STRIKES
IN BRONX, BKLYN
1 Arrested Yesterday
Through Injunction

NEW YORK.-The Food Workers
Industrial Union is leading nine
strikes now, five of them in the
Bronx and four in Brooklyn.
At three of the Brooklyn shops
picketing is going on in defiance of
the injunction obtained by the en-
ployers and the A. F. l.. Yesterday
there we're four pickets arrested at
these shops They are at: 140l Coney
Island Ave; 1899 Coney Island Ave; /;
and 1907 Kings Highway. Picketing
is also going on at the other shop,
1901 Kings Highway.
Three of the shops in the Bronx
section are Sun Markets. They are
at 188th st. and st. Nicholas Ave-;
l78th and Broadway; and 184th and
Broadway. Tuesday two were ar
rested at the 184th st. shop, taken
to night court, and held in $500 bond
for violation of the injunction. These
workers refused to have bail put up
and are staying in Jail
The other Bronx shops are Winter
Bros, at 1851 Jerome, and another
shop at 2434 Creston Ave.
The strike started Tuesday morn
ing. The workingwomen are picket
ing, wheeling around baby carriages
with signs on top of them. The
women defy rabbi, who tries to
tell them that the high prices are
needed to make the meat clean.
Open air meetings are being held,
and there is a prospect of an ex-
tension of the strike to milk and

of their youth and because of the
fact that they have to help support
their families.
Paterson is noted for its speed-up.
1t began with the introduction of
the 2-loom system, then the 4 and
today 6 and as high as IL looms per
worker. The workers have to run
around all day long with the boss
constantly watching-nagging them
on, forcing the very life blood out of
the workers in order that he may
satisfy his greed for more profits.
Not only is the speed-up taking place
among the weavers, but also among
every craft in the silk industry.
TWisterS, from hand twisting to ma
chine twisting; winders and quill

loomfixers, from 40 to over 100 looms.
and so forth, touching every craft
and branch in the manufacturing of
silk. Always faster, more profits for
the bosses, gradual wearing down of
the workers.
Disease is rampant among the silk
workers, especially tuberculosis and
other lung diseases. Being cooped UP
in shop 10 to IA hours without a
breath of fresh air and with the air
so thick that it can almost be cut
surely doesn't contribute to the
health of anyone. Practically no
sanitary facilities are to be had
toilets are most of the time out of
order, dirty sinks with water that
tastes as If it had dust in it is the
case in most of the shops. Women
and children are working nights in
direct violation of the claw" Forty
years is the age limit of a worker in
the silk industry. After that you, are
no longer of any use-there are
plenty of young girls and boys to
take their places.
Wage-cuts, the curse OF every
worker, is like an epidemic in Pat
erson. In the last year and one-half
wages have been cut by at least so
per cent. Daily cuts take place. In
most cases the boss cuts without even
informing the workers and the first
resumption the worker has is when
he finds few dollars missing from
the pay envelope.
1t is because of these miserable
conditions that the textile bosses are
trying to burn in the electric chair
these five militant workers as an
example to the rest of the workers
not to fight against the worsening
Of conditions. 1t is because of this
that the textile barons are trying to
smash the National Textile Work
ers' Union as the only union that is
organizing and leading the silk work.

working class can save these work

NEW YORK.-In answer to an ad-
vertisement in the New York Amer
lean yesterday: boy, to work in
dress shop, salary $13. Call at $3.50
a. m. at 1441 Boston Road, near
Prospect Ave, Bronx about As came
down. There is no dress shop thera
but they lined up before one a few
doors away, thinking mistake might
have been made. A member of the
unemployed council, who also came
for job, talked to them about Or
ganizing.
The boss came out and said he
did not put the ad in the paper.
About 35 of the boys accepted the
invitation to come over to the head
quarters of the unemployed council,
to organize. 1t is one block away.
An argument started over whether
the council could have put the ad
in the paper itself, and the American
was called up to see. 1t was some
time before the boys, who we're very
mad because many of them had
walked long distances to get the job,
got over their suspicious.
The boys, hearing that there was
piano in the hall, came up to sing
and dance. They were addressed by
Greenantha1, who told them what
the unemployed council does, and by
Rosenthal on the demand for work
ers' unemployment insurance. They
we're enthused. The organizer made
a motion for the boys to elect their
own chairman, and, after discus
sion and many questions, they were
shown, most of them refusing to
commit themselves, that unemploy-
ment would last as long as capital
ism.
One Of the boys was asked at the
Daily Worker:
"What is your father doing?"
"a dress operator, but unemployed
now"
did your father ever mention
anything about the socialist party?"
He used to vote socialist, but de-
clared that the party was corrupt
now and that he refused to vote for
it any more-that in all their unions
money was constantly missing and
that the same leaders were always
elected"
What did your parents ever men
ton about the Communist Party?"
my parents were both of the be-
lief that Communists were right in
their ideas but they themselves have
spoiled their own ideas"
How much does your father make
when he works?"
when he works he works hard
and makes $50 to $35 week"
How many in your family?"

trying to stifle forever the voices of
these five fighters and to smash the
N. T. w. u, which is the only union
that is organizing and leading the
silk workers in their fights against
the attacks of the silk bosses.
In Paterson the manufacturing of
broad silk ordinarily employed about
$4,000 workers, divided into approx
mately 300 "cockroach" shops en-
ploying from / to so workers. There
are very few large shops, with the
exception Of Henry Doherty's, which
is the largest silk manufacturing
plant in Paterson. OF the $4,000 silk
workers at least one-haf are women
and young workers.
Conditions in the "cockroach" shops
are terrible Ten to 13 hours per
day is the average working time-in
some places as high as 18. And what
torture-terrific notes.-the banging
and clashing of the looms all the
time-having to yell into ones ear

with the unearthly noise, gradually

In the throwing plants of Paterson
the bosses take in children, force
them to slave away hours without
