there all last night and today.
Walter H. PollaK, I. L. D. attorney,
representing the defendants drew a
dramatic picture of the frame up,
and commended: that in violation of
the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.
S. constitution they had been denied
fair trial. denied proper counsel,
no Negroes allowed on the jury" He
told how a group of white toughs,
beaten in fight with Negroes on the
freight train, had wired ahead for
police action Only after the nine
Scottsboro boys were taken off the
train, and the white prostitutes dis
covered in another car, did the frame
up charge of rape develop.
Lynch Trial
Pollak showed how, by admission
OF the state itself, there was an at
mosphere of violence, the white land
lord interests in ScottSboro being
worked up to the lynching point, and
under these circumstances no fair
trial could have been expected nor
would the jury dare to acquit."
State Uses Roddy Sabotage
Thomas E. Knight, attorney general
Of the State of Alabama argued for
death to the Negro children. His
main legal point was that objections
by the defense counsel, should have
been made at the same time of the
trial to anything the defense thought
unfair. He entirely disregarded the
fact that Attorney Roddy, hired by
the National Association for Ad-
vancement of Colored People, was the
boys only defense lawyer at the time,
and was against them and sabotaged
their case
Mother Mooney At Hearing
William L. Patterson and Mother
Mooney were in Washington, Mrs.
Mooney was in the court room. Pat
terson was present, representing the
1. L. D., of which he has just been
elected National Secretary. Many of
the spectators in the, court room were
Negroes.
Crowd Favorable To Defense
The court room was jammed, and
the Railways in the building were
crowded with spectators, the majority
of them Negroes. Some were allowed
into the room, but most were kept
out. The crowd was sympathetic to
the defense, as proved by the fact
that it came primarily to hear Pol
lak's speech, and left afterwards.
The case lasted from 2:30 pm. to
4;30 pm. Decision will come some
time later. The character of the de-
cision will be determined by the
continuation of the mass protest
movement demanding the uncondi-
tional freedom of the Scottsboro
Boys.
List of Attorneys
Present representing the defense,
though Pollak made the main argu-
ment, were, besides Patterson; At
torneys:
George w. Chamlee of Tennessee;
Joe Brodsky, of New York; Irving
Schwab, of New York; Allen Taub,
of New York Ely Schwartsbard, of
New York; Bernard AIDES, of Balti-
more and Samuel Levine of Wash
ington.

GILLESPIE, Ill. Oct. 10. - The
Progressive Miners of America con-

1t was enormously reported several
days ago that $3.50 had been secured.
This was due to flood of propa-
ganda released by the officials, de
signed to hide the sell-out. For ex-
ample, the scale committee was told
to get the best contract possible be-
tween $500 and $3.50" The old scale
was $6.10, which the operators auo

It's Not Necessary
To Tell Who You're
Going to Vote for

NEW YORK.-A worker reported
of the Daily Worker Office that he
was told while registering to vote by
an official that the Communist Party
is not on the ballot in New York
state. This of course, is a deliberate
lie and is part of the campaign to
keep the workers from voting Com
munist.
Workers should understand that it
is not necessary to tell the officials in
the registration booths what party
they are going to vote for.

FEAR MASSES, BAN FETE

NANKING, Oct. 10.-For the first
time in the history of the so-called
republic of China, which is bought
and paid for by foreign imperialists,
the 21st anniversary of the founding
of the republic was banned by the
Marking government. The official
preteXt is that "the Manchurian
crisis necessities giving attention to
the national salvation instead of to
fun and amusement" The real rea-
son is fear that the masses would con-
vert the celebration into a revolu-
tionary demonstration against the
Marking government and its i'm
perialist masters.

the leaders of the various political
parties, President zaimis called on
them to form a new reactionary
coalition cabinet, whose purpose will
be to find new methods of solving the

INSULT FOUND; MAY GET OFF

ATHENS, Oct. 1O.-Samuel insult,
Sr., former head of the $4,0Oo,0OO,OO0
public utilities trust that crashed as
a result of his wholesale swindling
has been found at last after playing
hide-and-seek all through Europe.
He is being held by the Athens police,
but may be released since negotiations
for an extradition treaty between
Greece and the United States have
not yet been completed. AS the Am
erican authorities are not overeager
to prosecute this multi-millionaire,
this is convenient excuse.
