The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-04-18

THE increasing use of the boss courts to legalize
the lynching of Negro workers is clearly
shown in the frame-ups and lynch verdicts
against the nine Scottsboro boys Willie Brown
in Philadelphia; Orphan Jones, in Maryland,
and the actual carrying out of the legal lynch
ing of Barney Lee Ross in Texas
The vicious terror which at the present time
finds its sharpest expression in the savage lynch
wave has for it's purpose on the one hand, the
suppression of the awakening Negro masses, and
on the other hand maintaining the separation
of the Negro and white workers and blocking
the growing unity of Negro and white in the
sharpening class struggle.
The plundering and robbery of the Negro peo-
pie, their mounting misery and impoverlShment,
is rapidly creating conditions for the develop
ment OF a tremendous movement of the Negro
masses against American imperialism. The in
creased lynchingS mass unemployment evic-
tons the cold-blooded murder of Negro work
ers who dare to demand unemployment relief,
is the summons to the white workers to rally to
the defense of the Negro masses in the fight
against the increased political reaction Of the
white bourgeoise. The terror directed against
the Negro masses is part of the Hunger-War
offensive of the inlperialist bomgeoisie, directed
against the entire working class.
The Scottsboro verdict comes upon the eve Of
the preparations of the American lmpeIlahsts
to plunge the Negro people and white workers
into another world against the Soviet
Union All imperialist wars and particularly
reactionary war of intervention against the So
Wet Union, are against the interests of the work.
ing masses and black and white workers.
The Scottsboro case is the dramatic focal
point OF the sharpening antagonisms between
the Negro people and the American imperialsts
on the background of the present crisis and the
developing class struggles.
Therefore it must be understood that the OPP
preston of the Negro people is part of the
development of the program of the capitalists
and imperalists to pacify the Negro people by
way of preparing the home front of the Amer
lean impelialists Tor a new war.
The Southern capitalists and landlords, in
their frantic attempts TO crush the struggles of
Negro people, win endeavor to carry through

D3l-Year of Lynch Law
This particularly brutal lynching
came at the end of a year in which
70 lynchings were recorded in the
white boss press. That many more
than that number were hushed up
bv the local papers, is beyond queS-
tion. 1881 was year of rising lynch
lazy against Negroes.
But fighting back against this
wave of lynching, is the rising
anger and unity of Negro and white
workers.

Manager Three Days

The Texans who met .n San An- tonic and launched the boom for Speaker John N. Garrner designated Representative Samuel Rayburn as sort of chief -without-title of the Garnerites. Rayburn's manager ship, such as 1t was, lasted about three days.
 First there was a disagreement in the Texas delegation in Congress some the members favoring an im- mediate, open campaign for Garner delegates, and others opposing it.
 Then Rayburn began to get tele- grams from all over the country. asking for instructions as to the local conduct of the Garner cam paign. He found it necessary to is sue public statement saying he was no manager. but merely a representative of some of Gamers friends in Texas.

Problems For Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt's attempt to keep his campaign innocent of managerial taint has developed some distressing complications,
 The Roosevelt idea is to cast James A. Farley in the role of a "co-ordinator' of the local cam paigns in the several states. It is the Roosevelt fashion to refer to Farley's office as clearing house" not a headquarters.
 When Homer s. Cummings of Connecticut went to Washington re- 'cently and began rallying members of Congress for Roosevelt the story went around that Farley had been supplanted That this develope- ment caused considerable worry was evidenced by the disclaimers which bobbed up quickly in various quar- ters close to the candidate.
 Farley got on a train for Wash ington. and it was arranged to send to the capital other Roosevelt leaders to demonstrate that no gen. eralissimo's baton had been pre- sented to Cummings or anyone else.

THOSE SWISS
 ALASKA CURI0S

A short while ago there was an article in few Alaska papers in which some fuss was made over the fact that Custom House imports showed Swiss wood-carvings were being sent to Alaska. There were no details and it was implied that they must be fake Indian carvings. Knowing the details we considered it of no importance but from tile number of questions asked us we realize there is legitimate cur iosity as to just what it meant, and the article gave a false im- lpression to many people,
 Where there is some smoke there is some fire and the fire in this particular instance happens to be Children's Whistles. There are whole villages in Switzerland and the nearby Black Forest of Germany that do nothing but Wood-C Carving and among their products are Children's Whistles. These are sold all over the world at unbelievably low prices for the quality of Whistle, so much so that it is practically impossible to buy Whistle made anywhere else as competition quit in despair long ago.
 As there are many people who want to spend about twenty five cents on a small boy friend, these Whistles are very popular and nobody cares who made them. If they bother to ask, they are cor rectly informed in accordance with our policy.
 The Curio Stores of Alaska do everything they can to encourage the Native Arts and Crafts for good business reasons. One excel lent reason is that he has no Saw ings Account or Catalog and his dollars go promptly into local cir culation. Many Alaskan Merchants consider an equal number of Na- tives more value to local industry than an equal number of Whites. Although the Curio Stores spend thousands of dollars with the Ma tives there is lot more they would like to spend if the Natives could produce in economical quantities. With his slow hand methods he makes one piece at a time and he seems too highly individualistic to work comparatively with machin- ery. The new Government School lat Wrangell will have manual training department which will en- deavor to mend this situation and we wish them luck for when the Native makes money everybody makes money.

Brown In Limelight

It has been accepted widely that Postmaster General Walter F. Brown is the field marshal of the Fl cover renomination campaign. This impression has arisen from Browns increasing harvesting of delegates, and from an expectation that he will be chosen Chairman Icf the National Committee after the convention.
 Events are disclosing almost daily, however, that the Brown leadership lacks much of the au- 'thority usually vested in a fully or dained manager. Witness, for ex- ample. the independent activities of Ray Benjamin, the Presidents Cal- ifornia friend and various others,
 There is pretty good evidence, too, that MT. Hoover has made no final promises as to the Committee Chairmanship.
 He is said to be considering his Secretary of War, Patrick J. Hur- ley. of Oklahoma, who in recent weeks has been delegated with in-
