FIGHT JIM-CROW
RULE IN CLIFTON
Conference Called for
Sunday, March 9th

CLIFTON, N. j. - Three hundred
workers met in mass protest last Fri
day against the policy Of segregation
of the local city authorities against
Negroes, as expressed in the words Of
the Police Chief Holster, I'VE wont
stand for mixed dances in Clifton"
This statement was madt a few
days after a mixed dance of 300
workers was held under the auspices
of the Ramblers A. c., affiliated to
the Labor Sports Union of America,
and 1t was printed in the local press
a day after the police chief had ar
rested and fined the hall owner SGT.
Rallying to the call of the Commu-
mist Party and the Young Commu-
mist League, which pointed out that
he act of Holster was part Of the
,osses policy to divide Negro and
white in order to enforce wage cuts,
hunger and war, the workers gather
ed at the entrance to the hall in
which the dance had been held, and
which had been promised for the
mass protest, only to fine the place
locked. Investigation soon showed
that the chief of police had intini-
dated and threatened the han owner
who at the last moment backed out.
In spite OF this, the workers re-
manned and listened To NEGRO and
white speakers for two hours in front
of the hall in a biting cold.
The workers endorsed the holding
Of another dance in the near future
in Clifton and showed themselves as
ready to defend 1t. Full support was
pledged to conference called for
Sunday, March 9th at the hall in
which the dance was held, In order
to lay the basis for smashing jim
crowism in Clifton.

Kautm.n Co..geS
Questions at
Injunction Trial
so Fur Shops Strike;
Bosses Rush Pleas
for Settlement

NEW YORK, March IL. - The
injunction hearing was continued in
the Supreme Court here yesterday.
Kaufman, who was the chief witness
during the morning session, followed
the example Of the first witness,
Matthew VOL, by conveniently losing
his memory while under the wither-
ing cross-exarnination Of the defense
lawyer, J. Buitenkant.
Kaufan, who applied for the in
junction against the rank and file
joint board of fur workers to restrain
them from organizing and striking
against wage-cuts, was called to the
stand by his own attorney, Kopp.
Upon being questioned by Kopp,
Upon being questioned by Kopp,
Kaufman declared that the joint
council was illegal, Notwithstanding
the fact that the council was elected
by 1900 registered furrielS. The only
legal council, said kaufman, was the
kaufman council, group which has
not the support of the workers and is
supported only by the fur nnanufac-
turers.
On cross examination Kaufman
evaded the questions by resorting to
the towards trick Of saying that he
did not remember. The role Of Kauf-
man not only as labor betrayer,
but as a thief was brought out clearly
in the course of examination. Kauf-
man suffered and spluttered when
asked by Buitenkant if it was not
true that in 1907 when he was Sec
rotary of the union that he took
money from the union for himself.
Kopp objected to this question and
the objection was upheld by the
Judge, despite the fact that Buten-
kant had signed affidavit to the
effect that kaufman had stolen the
money from the workers.
When asked whether he was a
salesman for the fur manufacturers
before he was president of the union
kaufman said that he did not re-
member. The fur workers in the
court laughed at this answer, for all
OF them knew that Kaufman was
fur salesman and was at all times
closely linked with the fur bosses.
Kaufman'S only answer to the ques-
ton of whether his so-called union
was allowing wage-cuts, long hours
and the sub-contracting system to be
put over on the workers was that he
had an agreement with the sweatshop
bosses.
The drive to organize the fur coat
shops for strike which was started a
few days ago is containing with
marked intensity. Out of SO fur head
shops thirty are now striking under
the leadership Of the Industrial
Union.
Already several pleas for settlement
have come in to the office of the
union and the workers have started
to negotiate settlements on the basis
Of union conditions in the shops.

That the local officials OF Salisbury
know very we'll who the leaders Of the
1ynch-mob were, is the charge made
in this letter. TAlthough almost
three months have passed since this
brutal murder of a Negro worker, no
arrests have occurred, and no move
has been made to investigate the
lynching, in spite Of repeated prom
ises Of action by Governor Ritchie
and safe Attorney Lane.
Protested Starvation Pay
It will be remembered that Will
Hams was shot and lynched as the
result of his request to Daniel J. FL
lott, owner of the Salisbury crate
and basket factory, for a slight in
crease in his starvation wages of IS
cents an hour.
The letter Of the eyewitness tc
the lynching is printed below in full.
The writer is worker. His name
is withheld only because its pubhca-
ton would probably result in another
lynching. The letter was written tc
William Powell, organizer of the Bal
timore branch Of the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights. The letter
follows:
Dear Mr.. Powell:
'The lynching of NJ. Williams in
this town was the most brutal sight
human eyes could witness. And it
certainly has brought black gloom
over the entire state.
Everyone down here knows Just
who led the mob that Iynched this
man, everybody here knows who it
was that shot him while he was in
the hands of the police.
Il can not even write you, or
explain to you how horrible the
. whole thing was,
First they dragged him to the
court house square, and hanged
him, then they cut him down, tied
the rope to the back of an auto, and
dragged him to the Negro section
of the town. They then got about
40 or so gallons of gasoline, but
before they threw this gas over
him, they cut off his fingers and
toes, threw them on the porches
and in tn yards of The Negro homes
shouting these remarks, that they
the Negrces) could make niger
sandwiches out of Them Then
they threw the gas over him, set
match to him, and willis the
human torch burned, they passed
booze around, drinking and shout
booze around, drinking and
shouting.
They also warned the Negroes
that the would burn their homes
down, IL they heard as much as
whisper out Of them.
Keep Negroes off Streets
'@They also told the Negroes not
to be seen on the town streets after
p. m. unde penalty of death; even
now, weeks after the lynching, the
Negroes are not seen on the streets
of the .Syn after p, m.
We would like to know If some
