Official Fights Moves
For Scottsboro Boys

MONTGOMERY Ala, Dec 25. -
Gen. George w. Chanlee and Irving
Schwab, attorneys for the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, announced to-
day they would push the fight for a
change of venue for new trials of the
Scottsboro boys despite Attorney
General Knights resistance. They
declared they were here to % secure
writs of habeas corpus for Eugene
Williams, one of the boys, ~ to en-
force the right of their clients to
have private interviews with their
attorneys and 90 to get a transfer
from death cells for eight of the
boys.
Attorney General knight opposes
all three moves, declaring that the
prison officials and the courts are the
deciding factor, although under Ala
bana law the right OF defendants to
talk privately with their attorneys is
recognized, as also is the right of
transfer from the death cells pending
an appeal.
Knight threatened that II pressed,

this fabricated angle, declaring in big

Force Archbishop of
Greek Church To Give
S1M For JObless Aid

NEW YORK-The United Front
Committee of Action of Greek IN
employed Workers of Greater New
York won an important victory Fri
day. Sixty workers, including "a
families with women and children
and single workers, forced the arch
bishop of the Greek Church by Or
ganized mass pressure to give 500
relief in cash.
The bishops assistant used all
kinds of demagogy, pretences and
threats. Two COPS were called to see
that "order prevails" and that the
archbishop be not disturbed.
In spite of all provocations, the
ranks of the so Greek workers re-
mained solid and they forced the
archbishop to send to the bank for
$l00 for the unemployed group.
The United Front Committee of
Action divided the money on the
spot according to the size of the
families. Single men received So
each. This is the second time that
the archbishop has been forced
through organized mass pressure to
give immediate cash relief.
The United Front Committee of
Action of Greek Unemployed Work
ers is affiliated to the West Side Un-
employed Council, 478 Tenth Ave.

Daily, was very active in supporting

Xmas Cheer,>
Suicide and
Starvation

A bumper crop of suicides, disease
and misery were the chief Christmas
gifts to the unemployed this year
The 100000 unemployed and their
families were insulted with the usual
publicity blah of Christmas baskets,
Salvation Army dinners" the 1OC
neediest cases." ETC., with which the
capitalist class tries to cover up its
criminal starving of millions OF men
women and children.
In New York City, where, according
to official capitalist estimates, 1,l60,-
600 are unemployed a small fraction
of this number we're given food by
the Emergency Unemployment Relief
Committee, the Salvation Army, the
New York American Fund, the Vol
unteerS of America, Tammany Clubs
etc. For this the unemployed had to
submit to being doped with sermons
messages of good cheer" etc, in
which they were told to suffer in sill
ence, trust in God and the bosses
and above all, not to struggle against
the starvation and misery to which
the capitalists have condemned them
Tammany Dope Peddlers
Among those who peddled this
poison were Tammany Mayor-elect,
John P. OBrien and Police Commits
sioner Mulrooney. However, the
christian patience of five women and
boy was evidently not great enough
and <hey tainted in line while waiting
for baskets that were being distributed
by the New York American Fund at
the 69th Regiment Armory
While these spectacles were being
staged, workers families through the
city were having Christmas dinners
consisting of hunks of putrid meat
coffee and stale bread and were try
ing to absorb some Christmas cheer
out of the prospect of being thrown
out on the street the neXt day.
Hide Suicides
Of the suicides of unemployed
workers over the weekend in New
York City. only three managed to fine
their way into the capitalist press
| Charles Finn, cabinet maker. Her.
man Woehler, 60-year old laborer
and Anton Stowic. also a laborer
made desperate by hunger, put al
end to their lives.
Suicide, however, while it may re-
liey the bosses. is not the way out fol
the millions of unemployed. Only by
organizing in the Unemployed Coun-
cilS and Block Committees and fight
ing for immediate relief. unemploy-
ment insurance, against evictions, etc
can enough be wrung out of the
bosses to keep working masses from
starvation and suicide. Only in thi,
way can the whole boss charity racket
be exposed.

WIN RELEASE OF
ANGELO HERND0N
ON LOWER BAIL
Mass Pressure Gains
Victory In Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. Dec. 25.-Angelo
Herndon, young Negro organizer of
the unemployed facing death charges
for "inciting to insurrection, has
been released on $2,500 bail, pending
trial, which has been set for the first
week in January. This big partial
victory of the International Labor
Defense was won by mass pressure
and protest from all over the coun-
try, backing up the legal steps taken
by the two Negro attorneys handling
the case, John H. Geer and Benjamin
j. Davis, Jr
The Rev. John Hudson, assistant
solicitor for the state. who is prose-
cutting the case, vigorously opposed
the lowering of bail from the s25 900
originally set 1t was on his request
that the court postponed the case,
over objection by the I. L. D. attor-
neys, who wished it brought to trial
Immediately.
This victory follows on the heels of
the previous one, won last week,
when Geer and Davis forced from
Hudson the statement, on the wit
ness stand, in hearing ON a writ of
habeas corpus, that Negroes have
been Systematically excluded from
juries for years in Georgia This
action lays the ground for ripping
open the whole Jim Grow and exclu-
sion system Of Georgia, as was done
in the Euel Lee case in Maryland.
Herndon is charged under an an
cient statute, the same under which
the famous Atlanta Six" face death
charges, which would make it pun
isilable by death to advocate unity of
Negro and white workers. He was
arrested Immediately after he had
organized and led a successful DEM
onstration of starving Negro and
white unemployed to obtain relief
from the city authorities
