MINI. NEGRO LAD
Gets 7-Year Term On
"Rape" Frame-Up

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 90
Aimed to compel his release from the
Minnesota State Reformatory at st.
Cloud, the International Labor De-
Tense has just begun a new cam
paign on behalf of Ernest McDuffy,
young Negro worker, who is sery-
ing a seven-year term on framed
up charge of attempted rape"
Born in Birmingham, Ala, Nc
Duffy's parents we're of the poorest
class of Negro workers of the South.
His father is a railroad worker em-
ployed in Birmingham. When he
was II years old, the boy left for the
North. He worked in many cities
until he found job in a garage at
Anoka, MINI. There, he was work.
ing together with two white boys.
Soon, the two white boys we're laid
off and he was kept on by the, boss
The two white boys, in their
desire to take the job away from
Nc Duffy, attempted to frame him
up on rape charge. At that time,
McDuffy had too much evidence to
prove that he was innocent so that
the attempt did not work.
Later on, however, another at
tempt was made to frame him this
time successfully. All the facts prove
that this is a rank frame-up. The
charge was rape of an eight year old
white girl However, after doctors
examination of the girl, it was found
that she had not even been touched.
This forced a change in the charge
to attempt at rape"
Betrayed by Lawyer
The white masters wanted to make
doubly sure that their case would go
through, SO they picked a lawyer OF
Anoka, Mimi, to present himself be-
fore McDuffy as his friend. This
lawyer, together with McDuffy's lass
served as valuable assistance to
the court. They advised Ernest to
plead guilty to the charge ON the
basis that if he pleaded not guilty
h ewould stand a chance of getting
lynched.
The International Labor Defense is
beginning a campaign to mobilize the
masses of Negro and white workers
to force the Farmer-Labor Governor
to release McDuffy. While it is tax
ing the necessary legal steps, the
workers are also preparing cam
paign of mass pressure.

To Hold Emergency
Meeting

The New York District of the Com
munist Party yesterday urged all city
employees to resist the voluntary
wage-cut demanded by Mayor Jimmy
Walker. 1t is openly admitted by
Tammany Hall that the ten per cent
wage-cut is being railroaded through
at the orders of New York bankers.
The Communist Party points out
to the more than 100000 city workers
who will be affected by the proposed
wage cut that the money the city will
obtain by cutting wages of salaried
employees, can and should be obtain
cd by increasing the taxes of the
very bankers who insist on the wage
cut
The Communist Party further
points out that Walkers economy
move is in part designed to cover up
the scores of millions in graft stolen
every year by Talnrnany Hall and
its leaders, including the playboy
Jimmy himself.

FRENCH TRY SAVE

See To Protec t
White Guards

The trial of DR.. Paul Gcrgulov,
White Guardist assassin of the
French president Doumer, opened
yesterday in Paris with Gorgulov
repeating his original statement that
in numbering Douner he sought to
involve The Soviet Union in war with
France.
Gorgulov proclaimed his hatred of
the Soviet Union and of Communism
and called upon the French i'm
perialists ito keep my idea alive"
The Fre1ch imperialists who share
the aims OF Gorgulov and the White
Guards for armed intervention
against the Soviet Union are literally
applying the law in Gorgulov's favor,
seeking to prove him insane at the
time he murdered Doumer. Many
witnesses have ben modified to tes-
tify to his goodness of heart"
The court room was packed to its
doors With a large crowd OF Wnlte
Guardists and sympathizers, while
the ploice made every effort to bar
French workers from the court.
Although President Doumer was
murdered on May 4, last, the French
imperialists had delayed the trial of
his assassin, in their efforts to pro-
tect their White Guard allies. Many
attempts were made to pass off Cor
gulov as Soviet agent in the drive
for war provocation against the
Soviet Union.
The court appointed as Gorgulov's
defense attorney Henry Geraud, who
defended William, the murderer of
Jules Jaures, French reformist leader.

the tides are weaker. These are the "neap
tides"
Perhaps. II you live near the sea. you viii
have decided by this time that this is all q
mistake, because any one living near the sea
knows perfectly well that there are two tides
each day. Quite true And this Is why:
When the moon is overhead the water Is
drawn up toward it, and the very earth under
the water Is pulled little "out OF joint" by
the same mighty powers of the moon. And on
the opposite side of the earth, in China, there
Is tide, too, though in China the moon is
not overhead. In China the earth has been
pulled away from the sea but downward by
the moon on the other side And so in China,
too, the water rises above the ordinary water
mark. and people there say that the tide Is
high
Consequently, there are two tides everywhere
one when the moon Is directly overhead.
and the other when the moon Is directly under
MEATH and over the other half of the earth.
which makes the tides come Il hours and 26
minutes apart-just half the time it takes the
moon to make the complete circle around the
earth.

The Slot Machine

IT IN an interesting fact that a slot machine
that was patented in the United States
late In the nineteenth century was of practi-
cally the same construction as one used about
200 B. c. in an Egyptian temple.
The credit for inventing this ingenious ma
chine probably belongs to Ctesibius who was
also the inventor Of the siphon
The Egyptian slot machine was used to dis
pense purifying water to the worshipers in the
temple. clever arrangement Of lever and
valve inside a vaselike container allowed
small portion of the holy water to escape when
the sum Of five drachmae was dropped through
o slot in the lid.
The weight of the correct number of coins
caused the lever to open the valve In the bot
tom Of the vase and when the lever tilted.
the coins slid off into the accumulation below.
and the dow of water was stopped.

Pull Of the Moon

When the moon, which Is nearer the earth
than any other of our heavenly neighborS.
passes directly over the ocean, 1t draws a great
wave Of water toward it, In the same way as q
magnet draws iron.
This wave is known as the tide, and It
swells regularly on all 'the seven seas" every
"A hours and SO minutes as the moon circles
round the earth in that time.
For many years, being ignorant, men
wondered at and even feared the surging tides
which Tapped the shores high above the water
line every day. But they have come to believe
that it Is the attraction which the moon
exercises over both land and water that causes
the tides The sun has a similar power. but
being much farther away we do not notice its
pulling effect.
However, when the sun and moon are both
on the same side of the earth and are pulling
together, the tides are much bigger than usual
Such tides are called Spring tides" And, OF
