replied it was an extraordinary sit- called them to Washington"
 One witness said MT Hoover red dened at Gamers interruption. The president. he said, began draw ing geometrical figures on a pad.
 The domestic financial features of, the presidents program were agreed to in principle with little discussion.
 Then came the debt question.
 That was where the row be- gan," one of those present told the United Press.
 MT Hoover stated he intended to take up the question of extend ing the German moratorium with Premier Laval here later in the month. No time was indicated. though MT Hoover was said by one to have two years in mind.
 Garner declared he was opposed to any cancellation of the war debts. He said it was a preposi- ton to help international bankers by wiping out $10,000,000, ,000 of government debts and leav- ing the bankers in better position to collect their $12,000,00O,0 900 private debts. Garner said later Mir Hoover and Under Secretary of Treasurer Mills had argued this with him for thirty minutes on the long distance tele- phone before he left Texas Satur- day.
 At the conference Garner said that if those present agreed to MT Hoover's plan to make a proposal to Laval, it would be an inference that they would support the exten- sion in congress. Mir Hoover agreed. Garner said he couldn't be bound.
 Mir Hoover, in his statement, said with reference to the debt ques- ton: This, being a subject first of negotiation with foreign govern ments. was not submitted for de- termination at this evenings con- ference.
 One of those present said that of the conference had in- sisted upon changing the statement to this form as they considered it as binding them to sup port any extension arrangement later worked out.

istration action in congress would be difficult.
 Democratic independence flared up almost as soon as the group had settled in the r6ckers and on the divans in the library on the second floor.
 Mir Hoover opened the confer- ence by reading his statement which was much in the form later given to the press. As he con- cluded he said, according to one of those present:
 "This is what want to reeem- mend to congress and I want you gentlemen to underwrite it.
 T told the president" Garner said later, "that this was an extra ordinary situation and that 1t looked as if he wanted us to write his message to congress. MT Hoover

ST. PAUL, Minn.-The scottsboro
Defense campaign has not yet come
to a real climax in this city where
we can say we carried on real pres
sure to save these 9 youths from the
claws Of our common enemy, the
capitalist class and It's courts.
May % we held a conference which
was fairly we'll attended, of Negro
and white workers; about 40 dele
gates were present, and the delegates
seemed to have plenty of enthusiasm
to carry out real work to save these
9 militant young workers from the
electric chair
A committee was elected and an
other conference was held June 18th,
where larger Scottsboro Defense
Committee was elected, which
pledged itself to carry out much
more work than what was done so
far. More street meetings and col
lections will be carried on, and it
was also decided to visit some more
Negro churches and workers organ
izations, and to call a conference
July 1St to rally the workers for a
final drive before the date of execu-.
ton. We cannot afford to have the
capitalist class take the Seottsboro
boys away from our ranks the way
they did with Sacco and Vanzetti.

for Negro Rights to whom they have
entrusted the defense of their boys.
AS a result of this savage torture of
the boys and the many acts of be-
trayal by the N,AA,C,P. leaders the
parents are bitterly resentful against
Walter White, Pickens and the others.
Fight to Remove Boys From Death
Cell.
In the meantime, the attorneys Of
the International Labor Defense are
making every effort to force the re-
moval Of the boys from the death
cells now that Judge Hawkins has
denied the LID. motions for new
trials for the boys and the LID. has
filed notice Of appeal to the Supreme
Court Of Alabama. The Alabama
law provides that only persons ae-
tually awaiting electrocution should
be kept in the death cell. The LID.
Is demanding their removal on the
grounds that the boys are now not
awaiting electrocution but action by
the Alabama Supreme Court.
The rotten race prejudice behind
the denial of new trials to the boys
is clearly exposed by the fact that
a new trial was denied even for
Eugene Williams, ID, and Oze Powell,
II, although their conviction was il
legal even under the boss laws of
the state OF Alabama, which pro-
Hdes that boys of II and under
should be first tried in the Juvenile
Court.
Preparing For Trial of Roy Wright
The International Labor Defense
and the League of Struggle for Ne
gro Rights has complete control of
the defense. Their attorneys have
already filed notice of appeal. and
will file all necessary papers for the
appeal within the next ninety days.
These attorneys are also preparing
for the trial of i4-year old Roy
Wright, the only one Of the nine boys
who was sentenced to the electric
chair in the original trial" The
reason for this was a disagreement
on the jury, eleven holding for cleo
treeution while one advocated life
Imprisonment for this child. The
trial of Roy will take place within
the next two months.
Only by the workers intensifying
their protest, and building a mass
for the defense of these
boys and by rushing funds for their
defense to the International Labor
Defense, 80 e. 18th ST.. New York,
can these nine innocent working
class boys be saved. Push the fight
to save the boys. Build Block Com
mittees. Rush funds.

Unemployed Council
Aids the Daily Fund

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-The Far
North Unemployed Branch of this
city have contributed SO for the
Daily Worker. The money was
raised through little neighborhood
affair. In the struggle that this
branch has been carrying on against
evictions and starvation and to force
unwilling welfare officials to give i'm
mediate relief to starving families,
the Daily Worker has been and still
is one of the most powerful weapons
to rally the workers for struggle. SO,
when the entertainment committee
reported a net profit of about Sc, it
was unanimously decided to donate
So for the Daily Worker. We would
like to hear that other branches of
the Unemployed Councils throughout
the country are doing even better,
giving us bigger mark to shoot at.

work night shifts.
1t is interesting that the owner
