SCOTTSBORO CONFERENCE OCT
TO PLAN FIGHT
FOR CIVIL RIGHTS,
SCOTTSBORO NINE
Prepare Huge Protest
Meetings for
October 10

BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 23.-Despite
the police terror against the Scots
boro defense campaign, including
raids on the Southern office Of the
International Labor Defense in this
city and the arrests of workers active
in the campaign, the lid is energeti-
cally pushing the preparations for a
United Front All-Southern Confer
ence on Oct. 2. The conference is
called for the purpose of further de-
veloping the Scottsboro defense cam
paign and organizing a struggle for

sent to a number of prominent intel
lectuals, including Sherwood Ander-
son. 1t is understood that severa.
members of the Committee for the
Defense of Political Prisoners will also
attend. The Committee is headed by
Theadore Dresser.
Fight Hunger ynching Program
The call for the conference points
out that the bosses are trying tc
break the resistance of the workers
and farmers to their hunger program
in the South with a murderouS terror
directed especially against the Ne
groes in an attempt to prevent white
and Negro workers from uniting fol
joint struggle against their common
enemy. The courts and police art
being increasingly used to carry ou
legal lynchings and police murders o
Negro toilers, as witnessed in tn
Scottsboro case, the revival of the at
| tempt to electrocute the Atlanta Si1
(four white and two Negro workers
for the crime" of organizing Negrt
and white workers together; the re

OMAHA SHERIFF
COINS Big MONEY
ON PRISON FOOD
Gets so Cents for Each
10-Cent Portion to
Victims

OMAHA, Neb.-In the Douglas
County Jail in Omaha are ~ state
prisoners who have been held there
from one to IL months. The state
allows Sheriff Mcdonald so cents a
day, per man, for food, and at ex-
listing prices the small portions OF
lumpy oatmeal, tough meat, rotten
pruneS and warm water called coffee
and tea do not cost the sheriff ten
cents a day. The state laws allow
the sheriff all of this profit. Men
who are fortunate enough to have a
few pennies pay as high as ten times
the store price for articles OF food
that are sold in the jail.
The excuse that the sheriff gives
for holding these men is that the
state penitentiary at Lincoln is over
crowded and that they will have to
wait until the new wing, now under
construction, is finished. The state
mems reformatory, also at Lincoln
has ample room for hundreds of ex-
ira men. Friday these 81 men sent
in q protest asking that they be sent
to the latter place. Other counties
in the state (where there are fewer
prisoners and the feeding graft
therefore, does not bring big profits)
are allowed to send their state pris-
oners to this reforrnatory.

First Time in State
Strike Spreading.

MINOT, N. D., Sept. 23.-Pickets
are stopping all farm produce di-
rected toward Minot. This is the
first picketing in this state. Picket
ing is objected to by the Farmers
Holiday Association, which called the
farm strike, but wherever rank and
file committees are formed, especially
with the United Farmers League par
ticipaticn, the farmers resort to this
tried weapon of labor struggles.
Picketing is now taking place
around Bemidji, in Clearwater Coun-
ty and in NoblesCounty, Minnesota.
Thousands of farmers are joining
the strike in Middle Western states
and word arrives that the movement
is spreading into the East, with be-
ginnings of a milk strike in Georgia
and talk of milk strike in New

JAPANESE ACCUSE
u. s. OF WAR AIMS
See Wall Street Drive
Against Japan


The Japanese press yesterday ac-
cused the Wall Street government of
trying to Isolate Japan as part of
the preparations for war over the
division of the loot in China and
supremacy of the Pacific.
The Toxic "Nichi Nichi" carried a
feature story under a five column
scream line declaring that the WASH
ington Government was using the
bride of war debt cancellation to lure
France and England away from their
support of the Japanese position over
Manchuria and other parts Of China
coveted by japanese imperialism.
The entire Japanese bourgeois press
expressed the fear that the United
States has succeeded in changing the
French attitude through offers of
war debt concessions.
On the same day, 1t was announced
in French official quarters that the
French government would not extend
diplomatic recognition to the Japa-
nese puppet state in Manchuria. The
British are also reported to be against
extending recognition.
With the sharpening Of the anita
gonisms between the United States
and Japan, both imperialist powers
are more desperately attempting tc
unite on the one available front Of
their mutual hatred against the Sow
let Union. The American challenge
to Japan's position in Manchuria Is
aimed to divert Japan from her pres
ent threat 10 the desired loot OF
American imperialism in North China
to armed intervention against the
Soviet Union

MOSCOW, Sept. %. CBy Cable) -
Fifteen members of the Negro Film
Group, including Langston Hughes,
Loren Miller and Louise Thompson,
issued the following statement today,
branding as lies the statements con-
tanned in the foreign press to the eff
feet that the production of the film
Black and white" has been aban-
doned and that the Negro Film
Group was stranded in the Soviet
Union:
eve, the undersigned members of
the Negro Film Group invited to the
Soviet Union by the Mechrabmporn
Film Corporation to participate in
the production of realistic picture
of Negro life in America, issue the
following statement:
Deny ISLANDERS.
1--WE greatly deplore and emphat-
ically deny all slanderous charges and
rumors concerning the postponement
of the film BLACK and Wife" and the
subsequent welfare of our group. Be-
cause of scenario and technical diff
culties, the Meschrabpom Film finds
it necessary to postpone work on the
film for one year. This has in nc
way jeopardized the well-being Of
our group.
Special Privileges.
Throughout our stay in the Sow
let Union we have been housed il
the best hotels. given food privileges
and accorded all ccurtesies the Soviet
Union affords. The terms of ON
contracts are being entirely fulfilled
by the Meschrabpom Film, and The
postponement of the film has in NJ
way affected this relationship. II
addition, we have received many
privileges not contained in our con;
tract. We have been given toul
in Southern Russia and along thu
Black Sea. At the present time an.
other tour is being arranged for u
through Turkestan, the Caucasus anC
Soviet Armenia.
/ Those who wish TO return to
America are not only given their
return passage but will be reim-
bursed in American dollars for the
money spent in payment of their
fares to the Soviet Union. Work
has been secured for those who
wish to remain here. In short,
: everything is being done for our
welfare and accommodation.
1.-THE statement that the pictur
, has been cancelled for political rea
sons, issued by four members of on
group. McNairy Lewis, Henry Moor
Theodore Poston and Lawrence Al
berga, is without foundation in fac
and unwarranted in the light of tn
Q general policy of the Soviet Unior
These fake allegations are ridiculou
\ and have already been repudiated b
the majority of this group. Sue
statements are readily utilized by tn
q capitalist and social-democrati
i press in their consistent attempts t
arouse distrust among white an
black workers in the success of So

Work Up War Fever
The ruling classes in both countries

working up a war fever. Foreign and

advanced $3,360,o00 for immediate

ASHLEY, Pa, Sept. 23.-The rank
and file of the United Mine Workers,
Local Union 1882, Maxwell Colliery
of the Glen Alden Coal Co., at its
last local union meeting held Tues
day, jeered the flowery speech Of
Gallagher, who is District Official
Of Number / District, and at the
same time an agent for the depor-
tation officials, who goes around To-
cal unions and hands over to the
immigration authorities the foreign
born militant fighters.
In his speech Gallagher Dragged
about what he was doing for the
miners.
A member by the name of Socolo-
ski who has been always protesting
against the local corrupt officials
asked Gallagher, what he would do
after he worked in the mines all his
life like the single and married min
ers did, and always contributed to
the welfare, and then get a measley
bag of flower, which is no good be-
cause you have no yeast or anything
to bake it with.
Despite the interruptions made to
stop Socoloski from exposing the fake
relief charity, he in conclusion asked
the District Officials why don't the
local union fight for more and better
relief?
Gallagher said: Men we are doing
the best we can. This state hasn't
enough money to feed us, and the
workers that are unemployed. The
government is distributing this flour
through the local social agencies, and
we know that the flour was not dis
tributed correctly, and Therefore We
are here to see that you get YOU
share of the slop."
But the miners were not mucf
satisfied with this answer.
Build Opposition Groups!
So all you fellow-mine workers whit
work in the Maxwell colliery should
get together and go to the local uniol
meetings and join with the militan
fighters in that local union, ant
form an opposition group, agains
the clique.
We have got to form group il
that local union and show the miner
that there is some one really fight
ing for the interests of the miners
And only in this way will we b
able to gain something for the min
ers, laborers, spraggers patchers, an
other men who are Shaving for moth
ing today.
And we must fight most OF a.
against the coming wage cut.
Lewis, International President 0
the U, M. w. A. is meeting with tn
operators in New York now, and h
will accept wage cut and will carr
it to victory because the operator
will concede to him better an
stricter and bigger check-off an
grant some kind of equalization c
work, which will mean more miner

these men will be considered workin
