NEW YORK, May 27.-Leo Gal
lagher, International Labor Defense
attorney of California, who is now
in New York on his way to the So
Wet Union, carries greetings from
Tom Mooney, class war prisoner, to
the workers Of the first Socialist
Republic. Gallagher comes directly
from San Quentin where he talked
with Mooney, Billings and the I'M
perial Valley prisoners.
Tom Mooney in his message to
the workers of the world which he
gave through Gallagher, empha-
sized the fact, that the only way to
gain his release as we'll as the other
political prisoners is through the
workers putting mass pressure to
bear upon the ruling class" Mooney
asked Gallagher to tell the workers
throughout the world, especially in
the Soviet Union" of the class JUS
tice in California that has been
keeping him in prison for the past
is years.
Gallagher left San quentin with
deeply ingrained impression of
MONEYS sincerity and militancy.
For the short time that he spent

with this fighter behind the prison
bars, the 1. L. D. attorney felt that
he now understood why the ruling
class of California was anxious that
Mooney should remain in prison for
the rest of his life. Mooney was
resolute in his stand that only mass
pressure could free him from the
California bastille.
Gallagher also visited Billings at
Folsom who sends his greetings to
the workers through the I. L. D. at
torney. The eight Imperial Valley
workers were resolute in their reVo-
lutionary position and we're all an
xious for news from the outside
world and the various activities in
the working class movement. The
eight militants sent their greetings
and urged workers the world over to
continue their struggle in the de-
tense of the Soviet Union and for a

Bosses Spur Efforts to Divide Workers
Against Defense Of ScOttsbOro Nine

"This organization is composed Of

I'VE feel that the Negroes you
mention received a fair and impair
tial trial. There apparently is no
doubt but what they committed the
crime. It matters not what the NOR
ais of the white women might have
been. White women. are sacred to
white men and forbidden fruit of
Negroes. These Negroes knew they
could expect a lynching party with
themselves as the honored guests
when they committed the crime.

way your tar babies are treated down

you taking them North of the Mason

DEVELOP INITIATIVE OF
WORKERS BY FORMING
DAHL Y YORKER CLUBS

The task Of the hour in conjunc-
ton with the campaign for $4,000
must be the development of initiative
of workers everywheres in building
and supporting the Daily Worker. To
make possible this voluntary mass
support of the Daily means inten-
sified activity on the. part of COM
rades in the work q establishing
Daily Worker Clubs. ~
Comrades in the field. however,
are n tOsufficiently aware of the
possibilities of Daily Worker Clubs
in the campaign. Reports from
Districts and Sections that have
come in during the past week seem
TO emphasize every activity but the
one of organizing loose groups of
readers and sympathizers who de-
sire to help in the drive and to
build the Daily Worker.
Voluntary initiative Of workers,
acting through Daily Worker Clubs,
IN support of the Daily" must be
stimulated This is an important
point in the campaign for $35, 900 and
must not be neglected.
To thh question: "Who can belong
to these clubs? can be answered:
Any one who wants to help the Daily
Worker in any way. Workers in
shops OF unemployed workers who
want to seel the Daily on streets,
from house to house, or at factory
gates, for example; workers in unions
Or fraternal organizations, who wish
to organize collections for the Daily;
worker correspondents, who wish to
write for the Daily; workers who get
out. or want to get out, factory
papers and who want to cooperate
with the Daily Worker; any one who
wishes to contribute small or large
SUMS regularly to the Daily Worker;
all who read the Daily Worker and
who wish to meet occasionally to
discuss the contents of the paper,
and to make suggestions for its bet

All the work in these clubs is
voluntary. No membership dues or

CHATTANOOGA, May 27-How
the A. F. of L. bureaucratS and those
workers still under their influence
lend themselves to the poisonous race
hatred propaganda of the bosses and
thereby contribute to the splitting
and weakening of the working class
in its struggle against starvation and
boss terror, is wildly illustrated in
a vicious letter from the Southern
Broker Division of Commercial Tele-
graphers, an organization affiliated
with the A. F. of L. and having head
quarters in New Orleans, La.
The letter is addressed to the
Southern headquarters of the Inter
national Labor Defense in Chatta-
nooga. 1t contains all the poisonous
hatred against the Negro workers OF
the boss class, whose murderous
frame-up and attempt to legally
lynch nine innocent Negro children
in Alabama it brazenly defends. 1t
viciouSly attacks the l. L. D. for its
defense of the youths, eight of whom
have been sentenced to burn in the
electric chair on the lying frame-up
of having raped two notorious white
prostitutes. The letter is dated May
% and is evidently in answer to one
of the appeals sent out by the I. L.
D. 1t declares:
Flaunts Lynch Rule Americanism.

ization; it is not affiliated with any
other organization.
1t is up to Red Builders, Worker
Correspondents, D. w. Agents, to
utilize every bolt in their club or
unit apparatus to find members for
these clubs and to activize them in
the campaign.
Renewals and Subs Will Help
Save DAILY"
Renewals and subscriptions are
coming in faster than usual. Com
rades, this is also means of saving
the Daily Worker from suspension.
Send your renewal or subscription
in at once! Don't hesitate moment!
Send Stories! Order Bundles!
Mrs. A. s., Duqesne, Pa, whose
husband, active in the labor move
ment, was fired from his job as chip
per on the pretext of being slow
worker, writes she wants 80 copies
of the issue containing the story en-
closed, for distribution in Duquesne. !"
This is an excellent way to broadcast
to workers the conditions in their
own shops. Worker correspondents
everywhere should send stories to the
Daily Worker of situations arising in
their factories and shops, and should
order bundles of the issue containing
the article for wide distribution
among the workers involved. Let's
hear from Worker correspondents on
this point!
Right and Wrong Attitude.
1T is hard to make people see Just
what it means to them to read the
Daily Worker" writes j. M, Beacon,
N Y. But I won't give up. Will
keep on trying and see if I can make
them see This is the right atti-
tude to take We recommend it to
B. K, Johnstown, Pa. Cancel my
bundle he writes, Il don't have a
chance to sell the paper on account
of organizational work" The Daily"
is the surest way of drawing workers
into the movement. 1t should not be
excluded from Party work. This is
the wront attitude to take.

BUFFALO, May z8-Intense ac-
tivity is being shown in this city in
carrying out the decisions of the
recent Scottsboro United Front De-
Tense Conference which was held at
the Michigan Ave. "Y," with over 100
delegates present. Among the de-
cisions Of the conference aimed at
building huge mass movement in
the struggle to save the lives of the
nine innocent Scottsboro children
are
l. The setting aside of the week
of June 7 to IA for an intensive agi-
rational and organizational drive for
Scottsboror defense. Speakers are to
be sent to all the organizations that
had delegates at the conference.
Scores of Negro churches and other
organizations have pledged for Scots
boro defense all collections taken in
during that week.
2. The holding of city-wide tag
days on the 18th and 14th of June.
3. Arranging of money-raising af-
fairs by all the organizations in the
conference.
4. Each organization to elect a
special Scottsboro squad of 3 to take
the message of Scottsboro defense to
oeher organizations,
5. Mass distribution of ScottSboro
leaflets issued by the International
Labor Defense
Here again, however, there will be
grave shortcomings in the work of
modifying the masses and sympa-
thetic elements for the defense of
the nine boys unless the important
task of building block and neigh
borhOod committees is taken up
and pushed with the utmost en-
ergy.
Failure to build these important
committees limited the Buffalo
conference to delegates from only
80 organizations, including churches.
II is absolutely necessary to build
these committees in order to eStab-
fish sound mass base, a united
front FROM BELOW, and to in
sure favorable reception in the
organizations not yet drawn into
the struggle to stop the legal lynch
ing of the nine innocent colored
youths.
