the boys had not received the fair
trials supposedly guaranteed by the
Constitution. He declared that
threats of lynching had followed
their arrest. He charged that the
trial judge erred in refusing change
of venue and had forced the boys to
trial without giving them an oppor-
tunity to communicate with their
parents or prepare proper defense.
He further pointed out that Negroes
had been deliberately excluded from
the jury.
Attorney General knight of Ala
bama, who promised the Alabama
ruling class to carry through the le-
gal lynchings on June "a, argued
against review of the lynch ver-
diets. He attempted to evade the
issue of the barring Of Negroes from
the jury with the statement that the
fact that no Negroes we're drawn fof
the jury did not prove that no Me-
groes' names we're in the jury box.
This, in the face of the admitted
policy of the lynch courts in exclud-
ing Negroes from the jury.
Seven Boys Facing Death.
The seven boys legal lynching was
set for June "a are: Andy Wright,
Roy Patterson, Willie Robertson, Glen
Montgomery, Clarence Norris, Charlie
Weems and Ozie Powell. Two other
boys, Roy Wright and Eugene Will
lians are awaiting new trials. In
the case OF Roy Wright, the jury dis
agreed in the original mock trials at
Scottsboro, one or two favoring life
imprisonment. the others standing
out for electrocution. In the case OF
Eugene williams, the L. l.. d. attor-
neys forced the Alabama Supreme
Court TO admit the "illegality" of his
trial. He was remanded for trial in
the Juvenile Court.
The Negro and white workers must
continue the fight for the llncondi-
tional release OF the Scottsboro boys.
The partial victory secured by the
mass defense fight must serve to spur
us on to the further building up OF
the mass defense.

speaker was sent to Brooklyn to
speak and help the seamen organize.
The meeting was very successful. One

year, they could not make living
and at the end Of the season, they
were all in debt.
Not only are they demanding $23
per acre, but also a guarantee that
this will be paid. Many of the beet
workers could not collect their pay,
and there was no legal way TO make
the owners pay the workers their
wages. The workers also want to be
paid in money and not in credit.
The Colorado delegation urges all
the workers of Colorado to organize
into united front for the defense OF
the Soviet Union, and against all
war preparations. An anti-war vote
a Communist Party vote will be a
powerful aid to the proletariat of the
whole world.
Alexander, Negro Delegate, New York
II am surely convinced that here
we have program on the basis of
which we can really develop a strug-
gle, bringing large masses of the
American working class, both Negro
and white, to a consciousness of the
problems which confront them.
"I think. however, that there are
a few additions which we should
make, particularly dealing with the
Negro question. believe it is in
sufficient to state merely equal
rights for Negroes and self-determin-
alton for the Black Belt" In most
cases, you will find that this lang
uage is not very clear, is not very
plain to many masses of Negro work
ers whom We will reach in the course
of the campaign. I would propose,
for instance, that we have an elabo
ration apart from the plank which
have read in the body of the plat
form as a whole. For instance. in
the second paragraph it states that
12,0O0000 workers are out of work
l think it is possible for us to get
an estimate of the number of Negro
workers unemployed and state H.
000,o 900 workers, 2 or 100000 of these
are Negro workers. Here we would
actually bring into concrete figures
the proportion of Negro workers out
OF work, bring to the realization of
the Negro workers the serious prob
lem of Unemployment which con-
fronts them throughout the United
States. Secondly, 1 think that the
platform does not deal very firmly
with the position Of the Socialist
Party toward the Negro question in
the U. S.
II think the platfrom is also in
sufflciert on the question of the pol
icy of the Negro nisleaders towards
the struggles of the Negro masses
in the United States. We have to
take into consideration that only a
few months ago Oscar DePriest, the
Negro Congressman held q confer
ence in Washington in which he
called upon the Negro people to or
ganize a Negro Party and called
upon all Negroes in the U, S. to sup
port this so-called Negro Party Re-
Gently at the NAACP Convention
there VIC had very firm example
of the whole line Of the Negro mis-
leaders
1T is also my opinion that the
platform shal also include some ref
erences dealing with the Negro poor
farmers in the South together OF
course with the whits farmers.

Delegate of EIkhardt, Indiana

Delegate of Flkhardt, Indiana
At our meeting Of the Elkhardt
Workers Nominating Conference,
the comrades there decided that al
though we support the platform as
given, we believe it can be improved
on. This was advocated by the Elk
hardt Workers Nominating Conven-
ton of Sunday, Navy %.
The Communist Party should rec
ognize the all important fact, that
if we as a Party are to develop into
that of dominating power, we must
educate the workers, by simple UNI
derstandable language, the nature
of how wealth is created, what the
wages really are, and how classes
are created.
Immediate demands attract atten-
ton to our movement, true enough
and produce results in arousing in
terest, and action of militant ma
ture in many of the workers, but this
alone is not SUFFICIENT. In addition
to this kind of work, there must be
real education to keep these workers
a permanent part of our movements.
Such demands when backed by the
masses, prove that we are agrees
sive and militant, but it cannot be
the basis alone upon which to build
substantial Party.
Bower from Minnesota, a Farmer.
I have message that / wish to
deliver to you from my territory,
from the farmers up in Cleawter,
MINI.
Il wish TO say that the poor farm
ers UP in that territory endorse the
immediate demands Of the Commun-
list Party platform. The workers that
are unemployed in Clearwater Coun-
ty need Unemployment Insurance,
We are against Hoover's wage cut
ting policy because we know that
every cent that is cut off the payroll
Of the workers takes that much more
buying power from the products
that the farmers raise. We need,
as the plank in No. of the Com
munist Party platform says, relief
without restriction by the govern
ment and the bankers. The govern
ment has taken nearly all of the
roney that the poor farmers had
through putting high taxes on the
farmer by putting their tools of the
boss class. the game warden, the fire
warden and other parasites that feed
on the backs of the poor farmers
while the banks through system of
high interest have taken the rest of
the money that the farmer has. The
poor farmer needs the immediate
demand put into practice in the
farming country which says "Ex-
emption of poor farmers from taxes
and no forced collection Of debts"

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-A couple of young gentlemen in the Majors this season have waged merry battle for honors as the mcdaniel ly perfect catcher.
 They are Earl Grace of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Ray Hay worth of the Detroit Tigers. Both started to catch errorless ball in the waning days of the 1881 sea- son, and both have played well past the midway mark in this seasons campaign without missing a third strike or losing a wild peg.
 In the first 67 games Hay worth handled 260 putouts and 40 assists perfectly, which added to 37 chances handled flawlessly in the last six games of 1881, gave him grand total of 337, surpass- ing the previous American League record of 284 made by Johnny Bassier, former Tiger receiver. Grace's total at the same time was 325, new National League mark,

AFTER FOUR YEARS

Four years ago, at Amsterdam, Japan scored 19 points in the track and field sports, did pretty well in the swimming and won her first individual titles.
 This year the little Orientals finished with 35 points, in fourth place, trailing only the U. s. A, Finland, and Great Britain in the final team standing, and there upon turned loose one of the greatest collections of young aquat- stars ever seen in Olympic wa terS.
 A Japanese, Shuhei Nampu, now holds the world records for both the broad jump at 26 feet 21s in- ches, and the hop, step and jump, 51 feet 2 inches. Another, She hei Nishida, is the first amateur athlete outside of the United States to clear IA feet in the pole vault. Three of the first nine fin ishers in the Olympic marathon wore the colors of Japan.

Glenn Hardin, Louisiana boy who placed second in the 40O-met- CT hurdles, is the first beaten ath- lete to get his performance on the books as an official world rec ord.
 Because Hardins conquerer, Rob- ert Tisdall of Ireland, knocked over a hurdle, his time of 518 was not allowed but Hardin's record of 52 seconds, equalling the world s record, was stamped with the ap- proval of the I. A. A. P.
 An effort was made to bracket Ralph Metcalfe and Eddie Tolan at 10.3 seconds for the 100 meters in the record list. They finished only two inches apart in the Olym- pics final and were caught in iden- tical time, but the I. A. A. F. de- clined to sanction this extraordin- ary proposal.

 This flawless receiving helps ex- plain the surprising showing of both the Pirates and Tigers this season. Hayworth last year com mitted II errors in handling 4O6 chances in 88 games for the Ti- gers.
 Though he was not with the Pirates, Grace also ranked well down the 1881 list in catching ef- ficiency. With the Cubs he was charged with four errors in 165 chances coming up in AT games He was traded to the Pirates by the Cubs for the veteran Rollo Homsley.
 At the plate Hayworth has had a little the best of the argument in the matter of batting percent age, hitting airound 300, while Grace has been below the charm ed circle. However, they have been about even in runs driven across the plate.

YACHTING IS HIT BY MARKET GOING

NEW YORK, Aug. 23. = The Stock Market seems determined to give no quarter to the yachts men.
 Two and a half years of falling prices have forced many a broker to sell or lay up his sloop or mo- tor cruiser, so officials of the New York Yacht Club were prepared for a slim list of entries for the clubs annual cruise.
 They were not prepared, how ever, for the sudden boom on the market. Instead of bringing laid up yachts out of hiding, it con- pelled brokers to stay in town to care for the unexpected rush of business, thereby reducing still further the number of cruisers.
