no attire with him except the
suit he wore under his flying

To Tarry a Few Days
Mollison was to spend two or
three days in the city before
hopping off to complete his pro-
posed round-trip flight by flying
Eastward across the Atlantic.
Although he said the plane
could carry enough gasoline for
a nonstop flight, MolliSon said
he would stop at Harbor Grace,
N. F.
The spontaneous reception
which greeted the flier at the
field was to be supplemented
within a day or two with an Of
ficial welcome at city hall. Mayor

be back from Albany for the
function.

NOUS English aviatriX.
He advised her not to come
over here, as she planned, since
he expected to "fly back almost
any evening now"
Mollison was to visit the air
field to see how the work Of
,overhauling his plane was pro-
crossing. He said:
"As soon as the ship is fit
and the weather favorable viii
make the return flight, I am
not a bit afraid of the return
trip because there are many
days of tail winds ahead"
This, MolliSon indicated, would
be his last long flight. He said
that when he married Miss John

Expect Verdict
On SCOTS borO
Frame>Ub Today

Especial to the Daily WOrker.)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct.
23.-With the U. S. Supreme
Court scheduled TO adjourn,
unofficial reports in Washing
ton declare that a decision will
be rendered in the Sc0ttsboro
case on Monday.
The probability that the
Scottsboro decision will be
forthcoming tomorrow is based
on the knowledge that the Su-
preme Curt plans to clear its
entire calendar before It adj
journs.
The case involving a frame
up against seven young Negro
boys facing electrocution was
argued before the court on Oct.
10 by Walter H. Pollock, rep
resenting the International La
Dor Defense which, since the
original trial in Scottsboro.
conducted the defense of the
case, carrying on a world-wide
campaign on behalf of the de-
PENDANTS.
Pollack and other l. L. D. at
torneys proved conclusively
that it was a hideous frame-up:
that the boys were rushed
thru a mock trial without any
defense, and that one of the
lawyers assigned to defend"
the boys himself aided the pro-
secution.

Weinstone Speaks
William w. Weinstone. Communist
candidate for U. s. Senate, was the
main speaker, in place of William z.
Foster, presidential candidate of the
Communist Party. who is now on the
road to recovery from his illness, and
is expected to appear at the Madison
Square Garden election rally Nov. g.,
in New York.
Fosters greetings to the workers Of
Philadelphia, presented by Weinstone,
brought forth an ovation from the
large audience. Weinstone then pro-
ceeded with an appeal fol, a workers
united front against the capitalist
wage cut and hunger offensive. In
this capitalist offensive, Weinstone
pointed out, Hoover, Roosevelt and
Thomas collaborate.
Hooyer's speech in Clevelanr, said
Weinstone, showed Hoover was as
bankrupt in his promise as the cap
italist system itself. While the crisis
deepenS Hoover comes forward with
share the-work' and t agg r
schemes. and with more open wage
cuts which increase the misery of the
workers and only worSen the whole
situation. Hoovers path is one of
still further depression of the living
standards of the masses and of pre-
parations for imperialist war.
Roosevelt Hoover Capitalist Twins
Weinstone ridiculed Roosevelt's pre-
tended liberalism" He stands ex-
posed by his record as governor of
New York state, when he dubbed
unemployed workers demanding re-
lief, and kept leaders of the working
class in jail, and, as secretary of the
navy, when he helped in the oppres-
sion of the Haitian masses The
support thrown to Roosevelt by big
business magnates such as Raskob
and Owen D. Young, and by organ
izations like the Ku Klux Khan in
the South, shows that Roosevelt's
claims of any difference from Hoo
yer is only an attempt to create illu-
sions for the workers.
S. p. Helps Boss Offensive.
The Socialist Party, Weinstone
further points out, in all practical
/ steps as we'll as in its policy, is help
ing the offensive of the capitalist
class against the working class.
This is amply proved, he showed. by
the examples in Milwaukee, where
unemployed workers suffer forced la
Dor at $1.13 week, evictions and
clubbings when they protest, and in
Reading, where, when the Socialists
were in control, workers meetings
were broken up and workers were
arrested for collecting relief for the
striking miners of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
The program announced by Nor
man Thomas of naturalization of
public utilities, without destroying
the capitalist system, Weinstone de-
