SPORTSMEN SCORE
ALA. LYNCH LAW
Demand Release of
Scottsboro Boys

NEW YORK-Rallying to the cam
paign of the I. L. D. in its fight
against Negro oppression in the
United States and for the release OF
class war prisoners, the National
Counter Olympic Committee con-
sisting of workers representing over
thirty trade and sports organizations
has sent a letter of protest to the
Alabama Supreme Court against the
death sentence of the nine innocent
Scottsboro boys.
In the meantime the National
Counter Olympic Committee has
wired instructions to all its districts
to hold Scottsboro-Tom Mooney
street runs as further protest
against the continued imprisonment
of Tom Mooney and the vicious
railroading of the nine Negro boys
to their death.
The Eastern District Counter-O lynl-
pic Committee has already responded
to the call with a scheduled street
run, to be staged in Harlem, the
heart of the Negro population. A
number of clubs situated in Harlem
have pledged their support for this
run, which will take place on April
16. The start will be at Vesa Hall,
Is West 126th Street.
The National Counter Olympic
Committee calls upon all workers
and students, and especially Negro
worker athletes, to participate in the
street runs, as fitting protest of the
worker sportsmen against race dis
elimination and persecution that is
being heaped upon the Negro by the
boss class.
Entry blanks for the street run
may be had at the Office of the
Eastern District Counter-O Olympic
Committee, Is West 21st Street, New
York City.

TUUC Recruiting
Drive to Boost
The Labor Unity

NEW YORK. N. Y.-The recruiting
Drive of the TUUC, which opened
April LIST, was the signal for an in
tensive campaign by each union and
league to increase the bundle sales of
Labor Unity, the official organ of the
TUUL and build up a crop Of new
subscribers.
The sales Of Labor Unity during
the month of March have increased
slightly. But this increase is not
one-fourth sufficient to cover up the
critical situation of Labor Unity in
the New York District. At present
less than 1900 copies are sold in this
District to t TUUC membership Of
$4,000. These sales include fraternal
organizations, workers clubs, Ian
guage groups, etc. Almost no subs
come in to the district.
The national Labor Unity office
has correctly assigned to the New
York District the task of increasing
Vic lllOl1Jl1ly 1dDUI Ollt1y ootICS HUH
the present 1900 to 1000 copies and
1000 subscriptions. This is mini
mum assignment that must be car
ried out simultaneously with the pres
ent TUUS drive for new members,
ending May 30th.
Already the Needle Trades Union
and the Metal Workers League have
decided to increase their bundles be-
ginning with the April issue. The
Food Workers Union is showing
splendid progress in sales. But most
of the unions and leagues still re-
main passive.
The quota worked out by the ma
tional office for the New York Dis
trict will be sub divided by the TUUC
together with the unions and leagues
into quotas for each union, league
and opposition group. Throughout
the duration of the drive, every union
and league must put Labor Unity
sales and subscriptions on its order
of business.

DURABLE PLANT
WORKERS ACTIVE
End of Strike Does Not
Stop Organizing

NEW York;. Surtshin, owner
of the Durable Tool and Die Corp.
who has succeeded in breaking the
strike of the workers in his shop
against the lockout, is feeling none
too secure these days. He is espe-
cially frantic about the fact that the
workers, far from discouraged by
their defeat after six weeks of mil
liant struggle for recognition of the
Union, are showing unnistakable
signs of getting ready to strike an
other blow.
Even the most reliable" of scabs
used to break the last strike can
no longer work under the conditions
imposed by the boss, and are being
fired. An example of this is the case
of the most despicable rat in the
place, Sam Kronich, who through
his connections with the underworld
VISA a valuable scabherder during
the last strike, and whom the boss
flred last Thursday.
Last Friday the boss attacked a
worker, Boris Sobiloff, employed in
the same building where the Dur
able is located, is a member of Metal
Workers Industrial League, in an
effort to stop him from fraternizing
with the workers of the Durable to
get them to reorganize. If his friends
had not rushed to his rescue he
would have received the beating OF
his life from the worker.
A. Tobias, partner of the Durable
who in the last strike has earned the
reputation of being a most notorious
trike-breaker, has characteristically
been appointed as chief of the block
aid" campaign in the neighborhood
where the shop is located. Believing
that charity begins at home" Mr.
Tobias, of course, starts off on his
racket by forcing the Durable work
ers to cough up out of their starry.

the union a thousand strong by May
31St; to orientate its shop work to-
ward basic and war industries, to in

DELEGATES FROM
ENTIRE COUNTRY
AT TEXTILE MEET
National Textile Work
ers Union Take Up
Many Problems
By MARTIN RUssAK

OLNEYVILLE, r. with del
egates present from all districts of
the union, the National Council of
the National Textile Workers Union
held its regular quarter-yearly ses-
sion in Providence, R. L, on March
&c and q. Reports were made by
the National Secretary, Martin Rus
SAX on the work of the union and
the perspective for struggle; and by
the Assistant National Secretary,
Ann Burlak, on the situation in the
textile industry.
The Council dealt mainly with the
building of the mill locals and &C
tivities inside the mills; the Berk-
man, Paterson and Atlanta cases;
unemployment work; and the third
National Convention. There was a
very thorough and detailed discus
sion on each of these points, with all
delegates participating.
Among the steps taken in the fight
to secure freedom for Edith Berk-
man, Lawrence organizer Of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union now
held without trial or bail for six
months, was a decision to send a
delegation of New England textile
workers, representing the National
Council of the Union, and headed
by Ann Burlak to the East Boston
immigration Station on wednesday,,
March 80, at 2 p. m. to demand the
immediate release of Berkman, who
at present is i'll with tuberculosis in
Carney Hospital, Boston.
1t was unanimously decided to
bold the third National Convention
of the union in Boston, Mass, on
July 2, and 4, 1882.
Important steps were taken to i'm
prove the organizational work of the
union, particularly with regards to
building the union entirely on mill
local basis, developing the whole
series of local officials of the union
improving the mass agitation, and
recruiting larger numbers Of new
members to strengthen the union
for the strike struggles soon ex-
pected. The treacherous manoeuv-
res of the U. T. w. officials in Law
renee and the Musteite officials in
Paterson are to be conbatted in
order that hte workers may be able
TO defeat the bosses and their agents
in the struggles that by all signs are
rapidly approaching in these centers.
Measures were taken to effect a
mobilization Of wooden workers in
other New England centers in the
event of a struggle in Lawrence.
Bill Siroka, just released from jail
after serving six months for his
activities in the strikes of last sum-
mer, was elected the district or
ganizer of the union in the Passaic
and Paterson district. A new or
ganizer was also sent into New Bed
ford. 1t was planned to issue the
first number of the union newspaper,

Youth Of America can nnd the same
opportunity in Central america as ex-
listed in the United States in the nine
teenth century, Minor C. Keith of Costa
Rica declared in addressing members
and guests of Alpha Chapter of Delta
Phi Epsilon, foreign service fraternity,
at a banquet at Sholls Grill last night.
About 60 were present.
THE opportunities there are open to
the dyed-int the-wool pioneer" he said
"But it is necessary to have the spirit
OF the country, for cash alone will not
bring success"
The continued rule of the Marines in
Nicaragua was criticized by Mr.. Keith.
Marines Called Handicap.
"You should keep your Marines up
here and let them concentrate on Chi
cago," he stated. "Sandino would be
Of no Importance if it were not for the
Marines. If the United States were to
recall them, Sandino would fade into
oblivion. We can handle him very eff
ciently ourselves"
Mr.. Keith also expressed the belief
that the Federal Government should
open up its service to persons who are
interested in promoting more than their
own ideas of culture in the Central
American republics.
F. M. Anderson, assistant legal ad-
wiser of the State Department, reviewed
the opportunities for American trade
and commerce in the Near East. There
is large opportunity there, he declared,
to correct the mistaken impression of
the United States that has been car
ried in the news.

Cambria And .Tydings To
Fight Tariff On Sugar

Laying the closing of the Baltimore
plant of the American Sugar Refining
Company to faulty provisions in the
1880 tariff act, Senator Willard E,
Tydings last week announced his de-
termination to seek remedy in the
short session of Congress. The shut
down is believed to have cost 1000
Baltimoreans their jobs.
AS company officials have explained
it, there is a discrepancy between the
tariffs on raw and refined sugar, so
that refined sugar can be brought into
the United States and sold cheaper
than sugar refined here.
Senator Tydings and Representative
Stephen Cambria have already sug-
gested to the Tariff Commission that
it invoke flexible provisions of the act.
