US. Tries SUPPRESS Liberator
For Fight on Lynch Terror

In an attempt to stifle the voice
of protest against the Scottsboro
frame-up and against the widespread
wave of terror against the Negro
masses. the United States postoffice
at Washington has declared 1.-THE
Liberator" to be unavailable" "The
Liberator" is the official organ of the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights.
1t had just announced a drive for a
mass circulation, and the action Of
the government was timed to stop
the paper on the first day of the
drive.
The decision Of the postal author
tiles is based on the issue of June
81, which in a front page headline,
called upon the Negro and white
masses to protest against the legal
lynching of the nine innocent boys
by holding mass demonstrations. The
front page also carries a cartoon that
shows a big brute of a capitalist
judge with blood of the innocent
Scottsboro children dripping from
his hand, which is labelled 1.-THE
Hand of Justice" On his desk be-
fore him is a book labelled Lynch
Law" The cartoon, which the au-
thorities evidently did not like, was
called Capitalist Justice"
The letter officially notifying 1.-THE
Liberator" of its being barred from
the second class mails, is signed by
j. j. Kiely, postmaster of New York,
and declares:
1.-THE Solicitor of the Post Office
Department has held the issue Of
June 9th, 1881, of "The Liberator,"
submitted for consideration in con-
nection with the application for en-
try of the publication as second class
matter at New York, N. Y, to be
unavailable and the Third Assistant

5 PC. Cut Golfer"

LAWRENCE, Mass, Oct. 3d.
Picketing went on at all mills as
usual in the strike here of $4,000 tex
tile workers against a general 10 per
cent wage cut.
United Textile Workers Union and
A. F. of L, leaders made strong eff
forts this morning to stampede the
Arlington picket line. The infornla-
ton was that a few scabs might try
to enter the Arlington mill late in
the forenoon, but the A. F. of L. pro-
posed to take the pickets to Shaw
sheen, three miles away.
About SO went to Shawsheen but the
rest came to the United Front Rank
and File Strike Committee meeting.
The alleged kidnapping of Red
Mike "Shulman from the Shaw
sheen picket line by three men in a
sedan at o'clock yesterday after
noon is being made into a huge pub
licity stunt with big headlines in the
Boston and Lawrence newspapers,
with statements of Watt, German
and REVERE, misleaders, in an effort
to try to impress the strikers with
the "militancy" of the A. F. of L.
Shulman is one of the crew of So
cialists imported to make speeches
with radical phrases for the United
TEXTILE Workers Union.
After the publicity this morning
Shulman himself appeared in a
nearby town, Hewburyport, stating
that the kidnappers held him over
night and then released him.
The American Textile Workers
Union meeting last night voted IN
animously by the rank and file not
to consider a five per cent cut as
proposed by Governor Ely in yes
terday mornings papers.

Protest Resolution

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 80, -
Following up the action of the VAN
couver convention of the American
Federation of Labor, which voted
against unemployment insurance,
William Green, president of the A.
f. of L., yesterday issued a. report"
on unemployment which calls for a
reduction in wages for all workers
through the stagger plan.
Green actually praises the capi-
talist system for its "part-time en-
ployment," saying this should be re-
sorted to more and more as a cure"
for unemployment. This method Of
cutting wages and starving the whole
working class, Green considers as an
effective way to avoid unemployment
insurance.
Liars and Figures
The latest figures issued by the A.
F. of L. shows an increase in unem-
ployment, 1876 per cent of the A. F.
of L. membership being out Of work.
In fact, the number is much higher,
at least 60 to 10 per cent of the
building trades being unemployed.
The A. F. of L. figures state that
80 per cent of the members of the
American Federation of Labor are
affected through unemployment, eth
er wholly or by part-time work. Mr..
Green says he expects 100000 work
ers to lose their jobs in November,
and sees an unemployed army of
100000 by November. This is in
line with his usual lies, the unem-
ployed army being well over
100000.

today.
Pomexene urged the court to sus-
tain Falls sentence Of a year i'm

ment on appeal.
Charges of Frank Hogan, defense
counsel, that Justice Hitz was IN
fair in his handling Of the Fall

He said Hitz had full authority
to excuse "a woman juror after the
jury was in the box, and defended
his admissions Of testimony con-
corning Falls dealings with Harry

Pomerene answered in detail
Hogan's contention that Fall was
