DEP0SIT0RSS HIT HIT
THEFT OF FUNDS
State Refuses Them
Information on Loan

NEW YORK-The Committee of
Is of the organized Bank of United
States depositors, cheated out of the
bulk of their savings by the bank
crash two years ago, have sent the
following letter to the District At
toIney:
cat our regular meeting, held In
the HAS Building, 425 Lafayette
St. on Thursday, Dec. %, the mem
bership brought out the opinion that
Mr.. Whyneman, who Is now under
indictment for fund embezzlements,
perpetrated against the depositors as
a result of his liquidation activities,
is a very serious crime against the
impoverished 100000 Bank Of U. S.
depositors.
"It was also brought out that Mr..
Whyneman may NOT be the only
one concerned in this wholesale
steal. We feel that he was not alone.
perhaps the officer under whom he
was working, by lack of proper audit,
gave him the opportunity to do so.
At any rate he was connected with
the Attorney Generals office under
the direct supervision of Mr.. Max
Steur, and this matter coming up
at a time when we are bending all
efforts to scrape up every penny, so
as to pay off INDECENT depositors, it
calls for immediate and effective ac-
ton on your part"
The Depositors' Committee has re-
ceived q letter in response to their
demand on Lieutenant Governor
Lehman as to the status of legisla-
ton for loan from the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation to re-
pay the depositors for what they
lost in the bank crash. The letter
was from August Ihlefeld, Jr., Dep
uty Superintendent of Banks, who
explains that Lehman gave him the
letter from the committee, and that

are attempting to make it appear
that James went to Tuskegee Insti-

company him to surrender" This
lying version is sent out in despatch
by the Associated Press which is
cooperating in the effort TO prevent
exposure of the real role Of the
Tuskegee leaders in order to prevent
the destruction of their usefulness
to the white lynchers. DR.. Motion.
according to reliable confidential in
formation has suggested to the boss
press the suppression of all news Of
the struggle in Tallapoosa County.
Back Lynch Inciters.
The Tuskegee reformist leaders NOT
only betrayed refugee croppers. but
gave landlords and their police ma
terial for a vicious campaign OF
lynch Indictment against the Negro
troopers. DR.. Dibble Negro doctor
in charge of the Tuskegee hospital
told the sheriffs that James told him
he wished he had killed deputies
James denounceS this statement and
denies he ever made such a remark.
DIR. Dibble also offered the informa-
ton that James had STAYED in his
cabin to resist by force of arms the
attempt to eXpropriate his COW and
mule. and would have continued the
fight had the other croppers not
run away James also denies Civ
ing Dr. Dibble any such ipformation.
AS a matter Of fact. the other crop
pers had not run away but heroi-
cally resisted the landlord-police
terror until overwhelmed by superior
numbers and armament.
The DibbIe story is being used
by the landlords and their press
as basis for new lynch threats
against the Negro toilers. The
press is now attempting to justify
the formation of the landlord,
police lynch gangs on the basis Of
the alleged statement of James
that he wished he had killed de-
puties.'

perialism is made clear in an inter
view with him published in the "Pra-
ger Presse," government newspaper, on
Japan's robber war in Manchurla.
Suzuki states:
1.-THE japanese working class regrets
that Japan was compelled to inter
vene in ManchWia with military
force. Japan sent its army to Man
churia to enforce its treaties. The
Japanese workers are against all
force. but in the concrete case OF
Manchuria THERE WAS NO OTHER
WAY.
"THE FORMATION OF THIS
STATE (MANCHUKUO) w A S
NECESSARY FOR JAPAN AND FOR
IT'S WORKERS % We believe that
if no exploitation of labor by capital
ism is allowed in Manchuria-and
here I speak as a representative OF
the Japanese Federation of Labor
Manchuria can be turned into a real
paradise of modern labor. FROM
THE STANDPOINT OF THE SEC
OND INTERNATIONAL T H E
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE
OF MANCHUKUO IS ALSO NECES-
SARY, BECAUSE 1T is PLANNED
AS A BULWARK AGAINST THE
SPREAD OF COMMUNISM. j.. We
are convinced that the existence OF
the State of Manchukuo as an OBJ
stacle to the further sperad of Com
munism in Asia will have only bene-
ficiaI results for the Socialist workers
of Europe"
The remarks OF this prominent rep
resentative of the japanese Socialist
Party give the lie to the pacifist
phraseology of the Second Interna-
tional and clearly reveal the traitor
GUS role of the socialist leaders of
more and more open support for i'm
perialist wars and for armed interven-
ton against the Chinese Revolution
and the Soviet Union. The support
of the japanese Socialist Party for
Japan's robber war on China is wholly
in accord with the policies of the Sec
ond International, which in 1914 be-
trayed the world working class into
war, and whose leaders today support
the betrayal of the japanese toiling
masses by the Socialist Party of
Japan.
In pretending to speak for the
japanese working class, Suzuki is sig
nificantly silent on the heroic resist
ance of the Japanese toilers, intellec-
tuals and students to Japan's seizure
of Manchuria and drive for war
against the Soviet Union.
Suzuki, whom the Berlin Socialist
"VorwaertS" calls "Comrade Suzuki, 4"
is worthy member of the Socialist
Second International, which has
openly or tacitly aided every imperial
ist war for the past 18 years.
Socialist workers Of America, join
the world wide fight against i'm
perialist war, against the looting
and partitioning of China, against
the armed attack on the Soviet
Union, Socialist workers should
support the Amsterdam World Con-
gress Against War, in which So
cialist delegates participated. They
are also called on to support the
Latin American Anti-War Congress
to be held in Montevideo, Uruguay,
Feb. 2S, to organize greater mass
resistance to the two wars now
raging between Bolivia and Paraguay
and between Colombia and Peru,
and daily threatening to plunge the
entire continent into war. Oppose
the traitorous collaboration Of the
Socialist leaders with the impcrialist
! war-mongers.

MOWEAQUA, ILL.,, Dec. %.
-Fifty-fOur unemployed min
ers who had been working on
emergency relief jobs in the
old abandoned Shafer mine
here were trapped underground by a
gas explosion followed by a fall of
shale and rock yesterday morning.
There is only a remote possibility
that they are still alive. No answer is
given by the imprisoned men, though
many attempts to signal them have
been made.
Gas is so thick underground that
rescue crews rallied from all sur
rounding mining towns are making
slow progress in their efforts to dig
through hundreds of feet of fallen
rock blocking the passages. A dozen
of the reScuers have been overcome by
gas (mostly carbon dioxide gas) re-
sulting from fire or explosion.
There is the usual horrifying scene
around the mouth of the shaft, with
weeping wives and children of the
men underground held back by club
swinging deputies and troopers.
Saving States Fair Name
John Millhouse, state mine inspec-
tor is on the grounds making the
usual excuses: pointing out that this
is the first gas explosion since seven
men were killed in the Old Ben Mine
at West Frankfort, Dec. l, 1929, and
81 were killed on Jan.9, the year be-
fore, at the Peabody Mine, West
Frankfort. But he avoids mentioning
that deadly mine accidents have been
/ increasing, falls of rock, electrocu-
tisns, explosions of dust, etc.
Emergency Work
The facts are leaking out of events
leading to this mass slaughter OF
miners. Instead of giving relief to
unemployed miners, the local author
tiles formed a citizens relief commit
/ tee, which formed q fake cooperative
/ of the unemployed miners, secured a
loan" Of the abandoned Shafer mine
1 635 feet deep, and with all its ma
chinery in bad repair and practically
no safety apparatus at all. 1t is adj
mitted that the men working on this
scheme got rather less than starva-
ton pay.
That the work was already known
/ TO be dangerous is proved by the fact
| that the mine was on fire several
days ago. and men going down Sat
urday were told that the fire was in
a passage that had been blocked off
The working crew, lis men, went in

ing around the point where the main
/ tunnel is crossed by another passage
way were not heard of after 8:15.
There is absolutely no excuse for a
gas explosion. Even very simple ap-
paratus can detect quantities of gas
much too small to cause dangerous
explosions. Only very bad timbering
could allow for a fall of rock Of this
/ amount, without an explosion, sc
whatever the original cause, the blame
lies with the whole scheme of make
work" instead of relief, and emer.
gency work that makes use of such ar
obviously dangerous working place.

HoNDURAN WAR CONTINUES

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Dec. 25.
The Civil war in Honduras, in
which insurgent forces, evidently
financed by British imperialism, are
trying to overthrow Wall Streets
puppet regime, is continuing. Fifty
two insurgents, after being attacked
by government troops yesterday, fled
across the border and were arrested
by Guatemalan authorities. Govern
ment sources also report victories near
Langue, near Perspire and at San
Marcos. Both groups are exploiting
i the discomfort of the masses, who are
bearing the terrific burden of the
crisis, to further their own and their
imperialist masters interests.
