N A A C P DENIES
FLOOR TO MOTHER
SCOTTSB0RO BOYS
Takers Faced With Ex-
posture Hastily Close
Meeting


NEW YORK Mrs. Ada Wright,
mother of two of the Scottsboro
Negro boys, was denied the floor
Yesterday afternoon at a meeting
held by the Il, A. A. C. P. at the
Salem Baptis, Church
William Pickens was the chief
speaker at this meeting. Pickens has
lust returned from the South
where he was loudly praised by the
southern boss lynchers newspapers
for his vicious attacks on the de-
fens9 Of the Scottsboro boys. After
Pickers got through spilling his lies
about how the boys asked the N. A.
A. G. P. leaders to defend them, the
mother of two of the boys got up
from her seat in the audience and
demanded that she be permitted to
tell the facts. Faced with exposure
by one of the Scottsboro parents to
whose worry and anguish he and
! the rest of the N. A. A. G. P. lead
ers have materially contributed by
their attempts to betray the fight
to save the boys, Pickens leaned over
and whispered to the chairman. The
chairman then jumped up and de-
clared the meeting over.
Plain clothes men who were pres
ent at the request Of the N. A. A.
c. P. leaders then began to hustle
the crowd into the street Many
workers, however, rallied around
Mrs. Wright and accompanied her
to the Lafayette Hall where meet
ing was held to permit the workers
to get the truth about the SCOTS
boro defense and the treacherou:
role of the N. A A. G. P. leaders II
hamstringing the defense in co.
operation with the southern bosses
Mrs. Wright bitterly condemned thu
disruptive activities of Walter Whit
and Pickens and told the worker
that the only organizations author
lied by the boys and their parent
to defend the boys were the Inter
: national Labor Defense and tn
League of Struggle for Negro Rights
/. Mrs. Wright also spoke yesterda.
before a meeting of the Carney or
l ganization where she met an en-
t thusiastic response from the ran
2 and file. Here also she exposed tn
/ role of the traitors and called upo
the rank and file to stop the treach
erous attacks on the defense by Gen
= eral ST. William Grant, one of thei
leaders.

[ atIoYs Mass Meet Tuesday to
Hear Program for Real Strike

The recent visit of Sidney Hillman
and a group of his bureaucrats, to-
gether with the manufacturers, to
Mayor Walker revealed the extent
of inner conflict between two cliques
for control of the graft and racket
money now being coined at the ex-
pense of the masses of clothing
workers.
The Orlofsky- Beckernan clique Of
the local offices had reached out 50
powerful hand for the spoils and
graft of the company union that the
Hillman clique saw its own graft
money menaced. For some time now
the Orlofsky- Beckerman gang, in
close conjunction with an under
world gang, the Curley -Lipke gang,
had carried oSn racketeering in out
of-town work, express deliveries and
in canvas and lining supplies. Beck
erman, ostensibly chairman to con-
troll the out-of-town work, had built
up lucrative business in helping the
bosses get the work out of town at
an annual tribute. Strikes were set
tied by the gang at SO much pei
capita per year.
The Hillman clique, of which the
Orlofsky- Beckerman is but an off
set, fell that the graft should be or
| ganized and rationalized through {
company union, the tribute to thu
bureaucracy to flow into treasury
and not be split up as it is now.
Orlifsky, manager Of the cutters
local, was the candidate of Hllmani
choice against opposing candidates
In true gangster fashion Orlofsk
had militant cutters beaten and ar
rested and through thuggery secured
his election.
Beckerman is notorious for hi
command of group of gangster
used to break up left wing meet
ings and slug militant workers
The fight of the clothing worker
is against both cliques of compan
union racketeers and basic struggl
for decent conditions in the shops

Bankers to Get Huge Interest Payment on
Over One Billion Dollars

NEW YORK.-The proposed rep
arations moratorium to be granted
Germany was made directly in the
interests of Wall Street bankers, and
the flood of propaganda in the capt.
talist press about Hooyer's generos-
ity to an impoverished people, is de-
signed to cover this brazen move to
safeguard Wall Street profits.
Wall Street bankers hold $780,
100000 private, municipal. industrial
and state loans in Germany, accord
ing to compilation in the New
York Herald Tribune of June 26, and
the interest on this investment runs
into the hundreds of millions.
The $246,000,o00 due this year to
the United States, squeezed out of
the German workers under the
Young Plan, will be released for huge
interest payments on these loans
This fact was admitted yesterday by
Senator Hiram johnson of Califor-
MIA.
"Ostensibly the moratorium is tc
aid Germany, but the beneficiarieS
who profit most will be the Ameri-
can financiers, with more than 6
billion dollars in investment in Ger
many at stake" Senator johnson
said.
One of the biggest loans was thai
floated by j. P. Morgan g. co. ane
the National City Bank in 1924 fol
| $110,000,000 to the German Reich {
state loan. Among the big mum
cipal loans floated by Wall Stree
bankers are the German 5ks dut
1865 for $9s,25O,ooo. Loans to BIZ
industrial corporations totalled man,
millions with that to the Siemens
Halske for $32,655,0oo being the big
gest. In 1880 alone Wall Stree
bankers issued $27s.Ooo, 900 in loans

capitalism cannot be saved so cheap

Izvestia goes on to state: "A delay
