Seek Removal of 7
From Death Cells
LID in New Steps for
Scottsboro Boys

NEW YORK, Nov. l4-Plans of the
International Labor Defenseefor legal
steps in the Scottsboro case, to save
the nine boys from new attempts at
legal or ordinary lynching following
the granting Of new trial by the
U. S. Supreme Court, were revealed
today by Joseph r. Brodsky, LID.
lawyer, following a conference of the
national legal committee of the LID.
"Our first STEP Brodsky said, has
already been taken We have begun
proceeding in Alabama to obtain the
removal of the seven boys from the
death cells Of Kilby Prison, on hab-
cas- corpus proceedings. Without
strong legal and mass action, the Ala
bama authorities will never permit
this, although these boys, by the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court, are now
presumed innocent even according to
capitalist law. Only tremendous mass
pressure and strong legal action, OBJ
tanned the removal from the death
house of Eugene Williams when new
trial was ordered by the State Sup
RENE Court.
"At the same time, we are begin
ming our fight to have bail set for
these boys, pending the new trial and
for change of venue from jackson
County to Birmingham.
Fear Lynching.
"The boys are now In greater dan
ger than ever Of lynching. We shall
place responsibility for their safety
directly on the Governor of Alabama,
the wardens Of Kilby Prison and the
Birmingham County Jail, and the
State Convict Department. The T.
l.. D. and the workers Of the United
States don't intend to let the Alabama
authorities get away with organizing
lynch mobs In order to hide under a
cloak of public sentiment" their at
tempt to murder these boys.
II wish to point out also that all
these stems involve heavy expendi-
lures. The workers of the United
States, Negro and white, must come
to the support of the I. L. d. with
mass protest and with material as
sistance II they are to be success
full"
Among the lawyers present at the
conference, besides Brodsky were
Allen Taub, Eli Schwatzbard ano
Carol Weiss King.

BRITISH FORGERS
CAUGHT IN PLOT
Ordered Manufacture
of False Stain Papers

The London correspondent of "Iz-
vestia" organ of the Central Execu-
tive Committee Of the Soviet Union,
exposes the fact that the British In
telligence Service is preparing new
set of forgeries to prove" that Josef
v. Stain. secretary of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union "insti-
gated" the hunger march on London
and the mass, demonstrations of I'M
employed throughout England.
Izvestia Blasts Forgers
In an editorial Izvestia f1ays the
British conspiracy with the following
words: "a dispatch from our CORE
spdndent reveals that our old friends
Of the intelligence service are at work
again. 1t was they who managed to
publish in London in 1919 forged
copies of Pravda 1t was they who
in 1923 supplied Lord Curzon (then
British foreign secretary with false
documents manufactured at Berlin.
1t was they again who, in 1924. dy-
namited the first Macdonald govern
ment with a forged document--the
so-called Zinoviev letter.
Now they have given an order to
their agents at Riga TO manufacture
false papers proving that the Com
intern, under the personal leadership
Of Stain, is organizing the movement
of the unemployed in Great Britain
and is directing uprisings in India.
1.-THE fact is" continues Izvestia,
that not since ChartiSm has poverty
urged the unemployed on to such
measures are they are now taking.
This movement naturally strengthens
the Communist Party in England"
Dogs Fighting for Bone.
Declaring that it is fact which
I'VE are not going to deny" that
Comrade Stain is the leader not
merely of the Soviet proletariat, but
that millions of workers and peas
ants throughout the world consider
him their leader, IZvestia declares:
But does this mean that Stain Is
responsible for the bankruptcy of In
sull. the drop in production in the
Ford plants, or the expulsion Of the
British textile industry from the In
dian market by japanese compete
ton? Such a conclusion Is the
delirium which the British intelL-
gence service is able to present to
the British foreign office only in the
hope Of puposeful gullibility."

Chile Proposes Anti

Farley With us. Aid

SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. l4.-The
capitalist press comments favorably
on the suggestion OF the Minister Of
the Interior that Chile should call a
South-Amercan Conference against
Soviet activities in Latin America.
This country, dominated by U. S.
imperialism, is repeating the old
wall Street cry against Soviet
Dumping" The U. s. government
will be invited to give information
regarding this dumping
The Chilean minister had nothing
to say on the fact that neither Chile
nor the U. 8. accepted the Soviet pro-
posals for an economic security pact
which aimed to prevent dumping"

rallying to the conference call and
