give us this picture: 1929, 80; 1890,
43; 1881. 70. These are conserva-
tive figures from bourgeois sources.
The actual numbers are far greater
if one judges by the fact that in
the winter months last year in
Birmingham we have authentic in
formation that IS Negroes cumming

down and killed.
How does the world working class
reply to this fearful splurge of
murder, of imprisonment?
Particularly fitting is it to an
nounce on the anniversary of Sacco
and Vanzetti's martyrdom, that the

In the U. S. A. today we have a
case even more fragrant than Saco

we're both revolutionary fighters.
To capitalism that was crime
enough. But that charge cannot
be brought against the Scottsboro
boys. Their only crime is that of
having q, black skin. For that and
that alone they have been con-
denned to die.

BY I. SIssELMAN

The fur workers, under the lead
erstip of the Needle Trade Work
ers Industrial Union, are now max
ing history. The last few weeks OF
their heroic struggle proved to the
workers even Of other trades that
not only can they fight successfully
the wage-cuts at present, but are
even able to gain raise in wages.
No more bent-backed and terror
lied: no more Of the old pesslrnlsr1;
but full Of n1ilitancy and hope, the
workers march down the streets,
where the fur shops are s1lenced
one after another. The workers OF
these shops cheerfully met the
committee Of the NT-WI-U. and
marched to the strike hall, where
thew registered and organized
themselves to fight to improve their
conditions. Within the last three
weeks. over 1000 fur workers were
on strike, and The majority OF these
workers have already returned TO
work, with their wages raised from
10 to Is per cent.
All Of these shop strikes are con-
Quoted under the leadership OF the
rank and file workers, including the
strike Of the dogskln workers,
which has actually stopped the en-
tire industry IN that line. Many
workers who were poisoned before
by the agents Of the bcsses-the
M2cC+radi and Socialist flunkies
are realizing now that only with
real working class solidarity can q
fight against the boss be won.
FIGHT COMPANY
UNION
The workers declare, IT'S the
spirit Of 1921" we are going to
strike to the finish, until the boss
es are forced to recognize our right
to organize into q real union and
not 2 company union.
@Do you see," said q worker sell
ing soda, this profit doesn't go for
Us. We sell soda to keep up with
the necessary expense for the strike
hall !"
The workers Of Gottlieb 81 Eisen-
berg told me the following story:
In 1929, the boss ordered US to get
books from the company union.
Those who didn't want to pay had
their books paid for by the bosses.
IN 1881 we answered the bosses
with 2 walk-out. but III 1882 we
are going to finish the Job and
force the boss TO sign an agreement
with the Industrial Union.
NdacGrady wouldn't cut the dog
skins" said one of the cutters.

wouldn't, another answered. That
gambler hasn't worked q day in his

and File Militant Leadership

first on the front trenches Of the
Needle Workers to gain the 4O-hour,
5-day week, to organize a real mill
tant union and raise the standard
of living of the fur workers. They
had won the victorious strike
which had an inspiring effect on
the trade union movement. The
bosses, while they could not divide
the furriers at the time of the
strike, modified the Socialist Par
ty, labor takers of the A. F. of L.,
the underworld and the police, and
broke the militant organization of
the fur workers.
5 YEARS OF
TERROR
For five successive years, the
reign OF terror was carried on
against the fur workers. A yellow
passport system was established in
the trade, where the boss demand
ed from the worker book from
the company union which YVES con-
trolled by the bosses.
The combination OF police, IN
derWorld, Socialist labor takers and
bosses terrorized and starved the
workers out. Nothing remained Of
the victories Of the 4o-hour week
and other gains
Tbs work was given out to the
contractors and sub contractors
where workers were exploited at
SIS to 500 for 7o-hour week. A
cutter who used to earn $50 to 500
g week in 1926 worked for S35 and
$40 IN 1882. Women workers, fin
islaers, who used to earn $50 and
$40 2 week in 1926, for 40 hours
work, receive only $40 to S25 for so
hours work in 1892 The terrific
speed-up has driven thousands of
workers from the trade. The au-
thorities Of the company union, in
stead Of taking up complaints Of
the workers, had system of re-
porting to the employers any COM
plant coming from shop, with
the name Of the worker complain
ing.
RANK AND
FILE LEAD
After five years of militant
struggle and heroic effort, the fur
workers have actually succeeded in
taking the situation into their own
hands and have formed rank and
file committee in the shops and
buildings, and are now marching
toward victory for the conditions
which they fought for and won in
1926 But the fur workers know
that in order to hold on to their
victory, they must have an organ
ization Of their own, and must rid
themselves of the treacherous COM
pany union outfit, so the workers
are building now the Needle Trade
Workers Industrial Union which
Is leading the strike to victory.

 Last evening was the regular Northern Lighters" program over KFQD but something special came over the ether; horse race at Agua Caliente, where men are men and women run wild. And Gus Gel les, master of ceremonies, won 1O,- 900 bucks on good old "Budweiser, :"

which has been running strong for more than half a century.
 The National Grocery Company is sponsor for a nightly program over the ever-increasing popular broadcast station, but these "Nor- thern Lighters" programs are ex- tra special. And how!
 'The Horse Race" was the hum orous playlet turned loose last nite and for almost an hour 100 per- cent enjoyment marked the thous- andS of listeners who tune in each evening on KFQD,, dialing past New York, Los Angeles and other stations of some renown.
 In the cast were Ralph Mitchell, Marvin Danielson, Ed Nightingale, Ed Meier, Peggy Moore, MT. and Mrs. Joe Reno, Vic Durand and the master salesman himself, Gus Gel les, Alaska representative of the National Grocery Company for four score years or more. It is a contin- ual source of amazement at the real talent uncovered in small cities. They were just as good as the best set of comedians ever heard over any nationwide hook up.
 The plot was wrapped around good old 'Budweiser," with the first scene laid at the race track, and the second and grand finale, in a cabaret where each of the artists displayed their vocal ability; perhaps the "Budweiser" tonsil wash helped to create such har- mony.
 Postmaster Gelles took occas- sion to ask the radio audience to write, wire or telephone as to how they enjoyed the program; with in a few minutes the studio tele- phone could be heard ringing, calls being received from distance of 250 miles. Upon this response hinges whether or not KFQD may contin- ne to broadcast National Grocery Company products, which are nu- merous; therefor, all who listened in last night are again requested to so inform Gus so that he, in turn, can notify his chief.
 Good old "BudweiSer." Long may it gurgle!
 Bob Merrill, local resident, dropped into The Gateway office to inform the staff what a pip" of a program he heard from KFQD, and to tell Mitchell that if he, Bob, had been on the program, there would have been no need for an imitation of Nicotine" the color ed man. Bob said he was going to write Gelles a letter telling him how much he enjoyed the program,

Delegate From That Country Uses Bitter Language as He Scores Report of Lord LyttOn and His Committee

shout when he read the United states senate's ratification of the Kellogg pact recognizing that the right of self protection may be ex- tended beyond the borders of a country.
 The Japanese delegate spoke for 50 minutes. Dr Wellington Roo, chief Chinese delegate. looked at the ceiling, as though day dream ing. Matsuoka spoke slowly, in perfect English. Most of the de1e- gates read copies of his speech.
 The council adjourned after MAsuoka's speech, to convene again at p. m., to hear pr Roo.
 Matsuoka said fiatly that the mere consideration of a solution other than the maintenance of the Manchukuo government .might possibly lay the whole far eastern question open to serious, disorders. We can enter no such considera- tion."
 Matsuoka denied that Manchu- kuo owed it's existence to Japanese initiative. Such a suggestion fat ters Japan, giving us credit for ability in the art of persuasion that we do not possess, he said.
 The Japanese delegate claimed Japan acted in self defense in Manchuria and referred to the precedent set by American expedi- tions into Mexico in 1916 and 1917 when Mexico was unable to pro- tect United States interests.
 He suggested that since the pow CTS outlawed war through the Kel- logg pact and other conventions, they might outlaw the anti-for- eign boycott, (chief weapon of the Chinese during the Japanese oc- cupation of part of Shanghai) as an instrument of national policy. Matsuoka asked the council to. look at Japan's record in; foreign intercourse in contrast with China's. We ask the council for a little patience" he said. ''If the western world will bestow upon Us only a fraction of the tolerance they so generously bestowed on China, it will be gratefully re- ceived."
 We want war with no nation. We want no more territory. We are not aggressors. We desire deep ly and earnestly the welfare of our great neighbor," Matsuoka said.
 Lord Lyytono. head of the com mission that investigated the Man. churian situation and whose report was fiatly rejected by the Japan csc, reddened several times when Matsuoka -,tlatly challenged the findings of the commission. At the end of his speech, the Japanese delegate thanked the Lytton com n1issioners, "wliose arduous travel and able work we sincerely and truly appreciate"

 There are. 1t is understood, many laws now which are obso- lete or which. are taken care of. in other statutes. Therefore, the new code to be recommended will tend to condense the code governing public health regulations in Con- necticut and make the laws more easily understood.
 Similar steps were taken at the 1881 session of the Legislature on the laws governing education in Connecticut. A committee. after intensive study and several hear ings at the Capitol, brought in a new code of laws governing educa- tion which brought the statutes up to date and eliminated many cb- solete laws.

 Krichbaum was a freshman and his was the situation which Yale authorities had sought to avert when they announced earlier this year that students dependent upon their own financial resources would not be encouraged to come to Yale until business improved.
