you such action as is permitted by
law to secure new trial for the
eight boys, the youngest is, the
oldest 20, convicted at Scottsboro of
rape on two white girls and sem
fenced to die July 10. We urge this
in view of these undisputed facts:

time for adequate defense, the boys

refused a postponement. The boys

ney appointed by the court and by
a Chattanooga lawyer, unknown to

What a Record!

what RECORD.
The five present city commissioners
are running for reelection ION their
record" 1t is a record of absolute
refusal to do anything for the job
less, for the speeded and wage cut
workers, for the women workers, or
for the Negro workers. When the
unemployed sent their delegates to
the meeting of the city commissioners
to demand that some provision for
them be put in the city budget, the
city government refused to hear
them. 1t framed up one of the hun
ger marchers. 1t tried to break up
their meetings.
The Negro workers are most bit
terly exploited on the job, most mis-
erably treated when unemployed. The
present city commissioners have done
nothing for them. But now, just be-
fore election, these commissioners ex-
press in words, not deeds, the great
est friendliness to the Negro workers.
The Independent" candidates are
no better, They run on fake issues
Sunday movies, closing the speak
easies, lower taxes.
Vote Co nmunist!
What is this t. the workers? They
are getting SO little they can hardly
attend movies, their homes are being
taken away on mortgages if they ever
owned a home, and taxes more or
less will not change that.
When election day comes, the work
ers should Remember all these things.
Support the candidates of the Party
that has really fought on the workers
sidel Vote for the Communists!
Vote for Elizabeth Berduk and Jo-
seph 10th for commissioners!

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., May
1t is very important at this tin
that the women workers of Ne
Brunswick should understand t.
platform and issues of the varicl
candidates who are running for t,
office of Commissioner in the CT
Elections which take place on Me
18th.
The women workers are the mos
exploited section of the working class
they have to work long hours fc
little pay. In most cases they are
the sole support of their families az
their husbands, fathers and brothers
have been forced out of their jobs
by the present economic crisis which
the workers of New Brunswick feel
so sharply. They are forced to go
into the industries of the city and
take the places of the men workers
for less than half the wages formerly
paid to the men. Their working con-
ditions are horrible, as for example,
in the General Cigar Factory, where
the women workers have to work in
rooms with hardly any ventilation,
the smell of the tobacco and lack OF
air cause many of the women work
ers to faint at their work. A few
years working under these rotten
conditions together with the dust
from the tobacco which they inhale
all day long are the reasons why
SO many of these women workers get
consumption and other diseases. The
corSitions in the other factories of
the city are just as bad.
The Bosses Offer
Regardless of the miserable con-
ditions under which they have to
work, the bosses are day by day
adding to thei rmiseries by sys-
tematic campaign of speed up and
wage cuts.
In spite of knowing of these things
the bosses candidates ignore them,
they have nothing to offer the work.
ers of New Brunswick but the pre-
sent system of unemployment, speed
up and wage-cuts.
In contrast to the conditions of
the women workers of New Bruins
wick and in fact the whole capital
istic world, compare the conditions
under which women work in the only
country where the workers and pea
SAINTS have control of the govern
ment. In the Soviet Mon the women
workers receive special consideration.
They work only seven hours q day
with a five day week.
That means that in five-day week
Of 100 hours only % hours are de-
voted to work as one day out of the
week is a day Of rest.
Every possible safety device to pro-
tect the lives and health of the work
ers has been installed.
Women workers who are about to
become mothers get two months off
before and after child birth, with
full wages during this period. Be
sides this, they receive full medical
attention with the doctors, nurses and
hospital expenses, being paid by the
government. After they resume work,
during the period necessary for nurs-
ing the child, the mother is given
time off every two hours, so that

TOFT PROVES
MYSTERY MAN
TO LOCAL FANS

Where Pete loft comes from. is
something Of a mystery. Present.
ed last week at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club as from Imperial
Valley. wherever Petes hideout is
it is a good one.
Nobody ever heard of him before
he stepped into the ring and few
expected, after getting a look at
him, that they would ever see him
again, and still fewer felt that they
would want to.
Pete's appearance certainly is de-
ceiving His white body, made
even more noticeable by shock of
blonde hair, didn't seem tough
enough to withstand the rigors Of
a boxing match, but Pete went
through eight of the toughest
rounds any man could desire and
he was still on his feet and going
strong when the bout ended.
He hadn't even got warmed up
before he had Sammy Aguirre down
on the canvas and only the bell
saved Sammy in the sixth round as
he was just getting up off the floor
when the round ended. A couple
of seconds more and Pete certainly
would have nailed him for keeps.
Sammy didn't know what he was
up against, and he deserves full
credit for the fight he put up.
The boys are matched again this
week and if they put half the bat
tie that they did last week, the fans
will get their moneys worth.
Andy Armstrong, cheated out of
his watermelon last week when
Frankie West trounced him, gets
another chance Friday night for
more watermelon and an opportun-
ity TO reverse the tables on West.
Their fight will be unique in that
the winner gets all the money. With
watermelon and money in sight if
he wins, and nothing only bruises
if he loses, Andy ought TO put up
whale of a fight The same goes
for West, who seemed to like his
watermelon fairly well last week.
Vincent Solano and Rush Torto-
lis. will hold down the special event
spot with a six round bout.
Kid Panch and Pilino Kilat will
open the show.
Ladies will be admitted TO the
arena without charge and the di-
rectors have placed a price of four
bits on the rush seats.

UNDERPASS CASE
KEEPS PILINC UP

. Striking back at l.. deWaard and
L. deWaard, Jr., partners in the
contracting firm of deWaard and
Son, the Great American Indemni-
ty company today filed in the coun-
ty clerks office a motion to strike
the deWaard cross-complaint and
all parts of it from the records. and
also filed a csmurrer to the cross
complaint.
The motion to strike the cross
complaint in the Coyote Wells un-
degrade crossing suit will be heard
in superior court June 26, or as soon
thereafter as is convenient to the
court.
The demurrer takes exception to
the cross-complaint, which brought
political scandal into the under
grade crossing suit, by asserting
that several causes of action are
improperly joined in the cross-com-
plant, that the Great American
Indemnity company is not connect
ed with charges made, and that
there is defect of parties defend
ant, in that c. c. Young, former
governor, was not named a defend
ant.
Also, according to the demurrer,
it cannot be ascertained from the
cross complaint whether deWaard
and Son did or did not contribute
to the campaign fund of the former
governor when he was running for
reelection.

complaint was that credit of the

BY LEO IL. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June IT. kU.P)-
Western teams of the National
League have gained the upper hand
ever their eastern rivals in inter-
sectional competition thus far this

representatives of the Atlantic sea-
board. the four western clubs have
won A contests while losing 45. The
st. Louis Cardinals have won u of
their q contests against New Yopi:,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston.
Cincinnati has won l3 and lost IL:

and st. Louis came through with
victories, eastern teams had held
the advantage.
The Cubs nosed out Boston, 8 10
:, after the Braves had garnered
a seven run lead in the first three
innings. Boston scored six of the
markers in the first frame as they
knocked Guy Bush from the mound.
The Cubs kept driving away at Ray
Moss. however, and finally shelled
him from the mound in the seventh
as they were scoring the four runs
that brought victory.
Successive home runs by Watkins
and F'risch in the ninth inning gave
st. Louis a 2 to decision over
Philadelphia.
The Giants defeated Cincinnati,
6 to l, behind the five-hit pitching
of Fred Fitzsimmons.
Washington increased the margin
which eastern teams of the Ameri-
can league hold over the west by
whipping st. Louis, IL to 10. 1t gave
the Senators. a record of % yicto-
ries against three defeats in inter
sectional competition and marked
their 18th consecutive victory
Dave Harris triple with the bases
tull in the ninth and an error by
Levey, allowed the Senators to come
from behind and nose out the
Browns who had piled up q 9 to
lead in the first two innings.
The victory Of the Senators gave
the east a record of 68 victories
against 26 defeats in their compe-
tition against western teams of the
American league.

Visit To Kansas

counts his visit recently among for
