efS, organizing Iynch1ngS ana muir
ders of Negro workers. This is in
order to detract the workers from
the real enemy, to split up their
ranks on the basis of race, and in
this manner isoiating the Negro
workers from the general struggle,
leaving the working class divided
and defenseless in the face of the
united boss class offensive.
Frame-Up of 9 Part of Terror.
This vicious frame-up of the nine
defenseless Negro youths is part
and parcel of the growing terror
against the whole working class
which is directed and inspired by the
Fish committee thru it's agents the
American Legion, Blackshirts, Ku
KluX Khan and other patriotic Or

horr, unemployed and poor starving
native white workers north and south.
Tie frame-up of the Negro boys is
being carried out by the same bosses
and their tools who only last week

an attempt to break up the heroic

attempted to lynch Hurst and Coder.

Tie A. F. of L. takers. the strike
breakers par excellence of the bosses
are through their Alabama organi-
cations actively supporting so-called
Black laws, now before the Alabama
state legislation. These laws are
calculated to make the revolutionary
working class organizations illegal.
They brand as CommInistic, and
therefore criminal, all agitation for
social equality and the organization
of Negro and white workers together
in the struggle against starvation.
Negro Reformists Aid Lynchers.
The Negro reformists and their
agents among the workers, thu fake
socialists, Randolph and Crosswhite,
are actively helping the bosses in
their splitting tactics. Their role is
to divert the gathering struggles of
the Negro masses into channels
harmless to the bosses, and to keep
away from the revolutionary work
ers organizations. Everywhere these
traitors are seeking to strengthen
reformist illusions among the Negro
workers. While workers are being
lynched and murdered all over the
country, the Negro reformists are in

a demagogic agitation for anti

must be carried out by the lynchers
themselves.
Only the mass pressure Of the Me-

stop to the Scottsboro outrage. Only
the organized struggle Of Negro and
white workers under the leadership
of their revolutionary organizations
can put a stop to the lynch system.
The TUUL declares that this legal

white workers of Alabama and all
over the country to answer this das-
tardly crime against the workers by
a more determined struggle for the
rights of the Negro masses, The
Shackles OF the Negro workers are at
The same time the shackles of the
whole working class. Every act of
violence, lynchings, etc, every per-
