There has been considerable de-
lay in awarding the contract for
the construction of the Federal
Building at Fairbanks, because the
lowest bidder, VIM. Macdonald and
Son, of st. Louis, whose bid was
for SS93,OO0, were in doubt as to
whether they wanted the contract
when they learned that they had
made some miscalculation on
freight charges for steel material.
But the MacDonalds finally decided
that they would take the contract
under their original bid and not
have new bids called for, which act
was under. consideration by the
Treasury Department. Had this
been done considerable delay would
have resulted and possibly the
plans and specifications changed
somewhat, which is just what the
people of Fairbanks do not want.
Delegate Wickersham interested
himself in the matter and on March
lis appeared before Supervising
Architect Wetmore and his associ-
ates, with the result that it was de-
cided to recommend to the inter-
departmental committee that the
contract be Immediately awarded to
the Macdonald Company.

DEMONSTRATE AT
COURT TODAY
81 to Be Sentenced by
Tammany Judge

The International Labor Defense
urges all workers to demonstrate at
Essex Market Court, End Street and
End Avenue, at $50 a. m. today,
when Judge Farrell, tool of Tam
many, will pronounce sentences upon
20 young men and women convicted
by him Thursday on prejured evidence
of "disorderly conduct" for alleged
participation in the Sam Brown
demonstration.
Yesterday Judge Farrell hurled a
challenge into the faces of tens of
thousands of workers and ex-service-
men by sentencing Bruno Cheney, a
vet, to days in Jail.
The judge, however, withheld the
sentences of the remaining 90 VIC
TINS of his frame up, because of the
monster demonstration of workers
maSsed in front of the court when
he sentenced Cheney. Hundreds of
workers Numbered their resentment
at Judge Farrell's action, and only
a barrier of a, hundred policemen,
armed with clubs and guns and
backed up with machine guns
mounted on motorcycles, prevented
the workers from storning the court
house.
Turn out this morning, and defend
the innocent victims of this Tammany
1rame-up. Only mass pressure pre-
vented Judge Farrell from giving
those who demanded freedom for Sam
Cheney a longer sentence. Defend
Brown, who was framed up for de-
handing relief for hungry workers.

Tom MONEYS Letter
Urges United Fight
, For Nine Negro Boys

Il NEW YORK. Oct. 212.-The In
Sernational Labor Defense today re-
ceiver a letter from Tom Mooney in
San Quentin prison urging the
world wide intensification of the ef-
forts to free the nine Scottsboro boys.
The letter, addressed to the Interna-
tional Red Aid, of which the I. L. D.
is the American section, said, in part:
"The international Red Aids call
10 support and intensity the fight to
prevent the legal lynching of the
scottsboro boys. and for my free
ON, is one of the most powerful pleas
ever made for international solidarity
in behalf of political prisoners.
"The legal lynching of the Scots
boro boys must be prevented. This
jnsolent challenge of the ruling class
be met. Militant workers the world
over. regardless of color must stand
shoulder to shoulder and demand that
this legal lynching be stopped.
THE Scottsboro case, with its
background of hysteria and race pref
udice, is symbolic of deliberate
npolicy to separate black workers from
white workers; to set up antagonisms
between workers of various races and
Snationalteis. The working class can
nver emancipate itself unless all
workers, regardless of race, creed,
color or nationality, stand together
In the common struggle against the
master class. Regardless of the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court, the fight for the Scottsboro
boys must be intensified and con-
tinued until they are free.
Mass protests the world over will
cave the Scottsbor oboys.
Mass protests the world over will
ling about my freedom.
With revolutionary greetings.
