Lynch Verdicts Stayed Again by Mass Fight

throughout Europe, China, South
Africa, ETC., while in the Soviet Union
millions of workers and peasants
Numbered their protests against the
lynch verdicts and their solidarity
with the oppressed Negro masses.
The Scottsboro court was forced to
grant new trial and a stay of exec
ution. The new trials were held on
June S, in Scottsboro, with the Judge
who had handed down the original
lynch verdicts and who now denied
a change of venue to point outside
of Scottsboro, presiding. Judge Haw-
kins upheld his own lynch verdicts
He set new date for the legal muir
ders.
Case Appealed.
The 7. L. D. attorneys appealed the
case to the Alabama Supreme Court,
while the mass fight of white and
Negro workers went forward in giant
strides throughout the world. The
Alabama Supreme Court upheld the
lynch verdicts against seven of the
boys and set a new date for the
executions. In the case of 14-year
old Eugene williams, the court re-
versed the verdict and ordered trial
in the juvenile court. Chief Justice
Anderson, in an opinion dissenting
from the majority opinion unfolding
the lynch verdicts against seven, was
forced to admit that none of the
boys had had fair trial.
The I. L. D., supported by increas-
ing numbers of white and colored
workers, demanded a review of the
lynch verdicts by the U. S. Supreme
Court. Oral argument was heard on
october 10 by that court. It's deci-
sion was postponed until yesterday,
when it was given as a last minute
election move in an attempt to cor
raj Negro voters for support of the
slave driver and jim-crow president
Herbert Hoover and his lily-white
Republican Party.

FIGHT WAGE CUT
ON RELIEF JOB!
Amalgamated, I.L.G.W.
Agree to Wage Cut

NEW YORK.-The Needle Trades
Unemployed Councils call all jobless
needle trades workers and other
workers to mass meeting Wednes-
day at pm. in Union Square, to
protest the wage-cutting scheme
which the Gibson Committee, the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers and
International Ladies Garment Work
ers have worked out for work on the
100000 yards of cloth to be worked
up for the unemployed.
At present the Gibson Committee
is registering unemployed needle
workers for work on this cloth. The
registration Office is at Ill East 22d
Street. But it is so far registering
only those who have cards from the
Women's Trade Union League. The
Uenployed Councils propose To all
unemployed women needle workers
that they go down and demand also
the right to register.
1t is we'll known that Potofsky Of
the Amalgamated and Dubinsky Of
the International have agreed with
the Gibson committee to put work
ers on at so cents per hour, and to
provide the shops
This proposition was put up to the
Unemployed Councils by Mr.. Kidder,
representative of the Gibson Com
mittee, at two meetings which COM
mittee of the Councils had with him.
Kidder denied any such proposition.
The Unemployed Councils de-
handed that the Gibson Committee
furnish the shops, and that wages
from sl8 a week minimum to $50
maximum be paid those who work on
the cloth. also that special bureau
with jobless representatives on it be
set up to pick out the most imme-
diately needy cases to get the first
jobs.
The Gibson committee, through
Kidder, rejected these demands, and
said its only interest was ito get the
work done as cheaply as possible"
and that "the propositions Of the
Amalgamated and I. L. G. w. were
satisfactory"

when the sheriff discovered two white
girls riding the freight in overalls.
The two girls at first denied they
had even seen the Negro boys on the
freight. The two girls were mill
workers forced into prostitution by
low wages and unemployment. The
state used this fact to coerce them
into lying away the lives of the boys.
Misleaders In Case.
The boys-al minors-were denied
any opportunity to communicate
with their parents or to arrange a
defense. The defense attorneys APP
pointed by the court helped in rail-
reading the boys toward the electric
chair. One of these attorneys,
Stephen Roddy, was later endorsed
and sponsored by the misleaders of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People. These
misleaders and other Negro and
white reformists, have consistently
played the role of assistant hangmen
to the imperialists throughout the
long history of the case.
Trial on Horse Swapping Day.
They were rushed to trial on April
6, 1881, horse swapping day. in
Scottsboro, Alabama. The normal
population of the town is 1000, but
on April 6, a mob of 10000, many Of
them armed surged through the
streets of the town demanding the
lives of the boys. During the trials,
this mob, modified by the boss press
and entertained with boone and a
brazz band furnished by local mill

bosses, surrounded the court, cheer
ing the lynch verdicts as they were
brought in by iuries from which Ne
groes were deliberately excluded.
Within few hours, death verdicts
were returned against Charley
Weems and Clarence Norris. In quick
succession. Haywood Patterson and
then five more in a group, quickly
followed by the last little boy, Roy
Wright, were put on "trial'. All but
Roy were swiftly sentenced to burn
in the electric chair. A small minority
of the jurors held out for life i'm
prisonment for Roy. This caused
a mistrial in his case.
Mass Move Starts.
July 10 was set for the carrying
out of the hideous lynch verdicts
against eight of the boys. But now
furious storm of protest broke over
the heads of the astonished boss
lynchers. The Communist Party
and its press had exposed the lynch
frame-up. The International La
Dor Defense had taken up the de-
Tense of the lads. The League of
Struggle for Negro Rights, the In
ternational Labor Defense and the
Communist Party, reused the masses,
black and white, to angry protests.
The International Red Aid, of which
the I. L. D. is the American section,
and the Communist parties of the
whole world, took up the challenge
flung down by the brutal lynch bos-
ses. A furious thunder Of protest
rose from workers and intellectuals
