BOSTON WORKERS
PLEDGE AID TO
.SCOTTSBORO BOYS
Give Great Ovation to
Mrs. Wright, Mother
Of Two of the Boys

BOSTON, June Seventy nine
delegates, including u Negro dele
gates from sixteen Negro organiza-
tions, attended the United Front
Scottsboro Defense Conference al
Cairo Hall last Thursday evening
and enthusiastically pledged their or
carnations for an intensive cam
paign to save the lives of the nine
Scottsboro Negro boys being rail-
roaded to the electric chair on a
trumped-up rape" charge, Alto
gether 43 organizations were repre-
scented, with total membership of
over 10000
The conference sent greetings to
the nine boys who are held in Kilby
Prison Alabama, without bail, and
a telegram of protest to Governor B.
M. Miller of Alabama at Montgom-
cry, Ala. and another to Judge J. A.
Hawkins at Scottsboro, Ala.
A committee was elected TO push
the work in Boston and vicinity OF
mobilizing the white and Negro
masses for the defense of the boys.
A serious shortening in the prep
aration of the conference and in thu
future plans adopted by the confer
ence is the failure to realize the i'm
portance of building block and neigh
borhood committees and of organ
izing the united front from below.
Great Ovation for Scottsboro Mother.
Over 300 Negro and white workers
packed Butler Hall Sunday night,
May 81, and gave great ovation to
Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of
the Scottsboro boys, on her first ap-
pearance here. Mrs. Wright con-
demned as treacherous and as help
ing to send the boys to the electric
chair the activities of the N. A. A..
c. P, leaders in hanstripging the de-
Tense. She declared:
"If defense is red, then I'm red
and will die red"
Other speakers were Eugene God
don, Mccarthy. Lucille Wright, Rev.
Weerns and Sol Harper. Anna Block
acted as chairman. A collection of
s68 was taken up. kilograms Of pro-
test were sent to Gov. Miller and
Judge j. A. Hawkins.

Little Sank Young Man
Killed by Automobile
Accident Happened Near the Carl
Gaulike Farm On Long
Prairie Road

Roy Flyckt, 17-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Flyckt, of Lit
tie Sank township, died Tuesday
evening about 8:45 o'clock following
an automobile accident, which oc-
Cured half hour before on the
Clutches Grove-Long Prairie road
just opposite the Carl Gaulke farm
in Reynolds township says the Long
Prairie Leader. Two other Little
Sank youths, Edward Johnson, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Johnson,
and Charles Christensen, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ted Christianson, es-
capped with decorations and bruises.
In company with the other two
boys, Roy had spent the afternoon
at the county fair. In order to
make it possible for the three boys
to attend the night show together,
they returned to the Christensen
farm to help Charles with the
chores. These duties completed. the
boys took Roy's car and proceeded
to Long Prairie. When they reach
ed the Carl Gaulke farm, shortly
after 8 o'clock, the right front
wheel Of the car collapsed, causing
the car to turn completely around
and turning it over so that all
wheels were in the air.
Roy and Edward were pinned
beneath the car, while Charles was
thrown into the road. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gaulke and Lawrence Kellar
rushed to the scene Of the accident
and both boys were soon removed
from under the car. Roy, with the
help of his companions, was able
to stand for a short time, but COM
planned of terrible pains across his
chest. Mr.. Gaulke summoned Mr..
Flyckt who arrived in few minutes
and the boy was taken to the Gaul-
Ike home to await a physician who
had been called. Realizing that his
son was critically injured, Mr..
Flyckt called Mrs. Flyckt urging
her to come to the Gaulke home at
once. She arrived shortly after her
son passed away. The physician al
SO arrived too late, the youth
breathing his last prior to his ar
rival.
Mr.. Gaulke reports that he saw
the car drive past his farm and
that it was not going more than
20 miles an hour. Evidently when
the car turned over. Roy was
caught in such manner as to re-
ceive internal injuries which caus-
ed his death.--Osakis Review.
