NEGRO FOR CONGRESS
Rousing Welcome for
Scottsboro Mothers

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 81
One hundred and fifty delegates, Me-
gro and white, employed and unem-
ployed, from all sorts of workers
mass organizations, met here yester-
day in the Tennessee State nomin-
ating convention Of the Communist
Party.
Smashing by use of Harlan and
Bell County, KY, gun thugs at the
Communist county convention at Jel-
leo the day before did not terrorize
these workers. Neither did the plac-
ing of a police guard at the door
way of Mason Hall.
I'VE must stick together and stick
to our rights. All Of us should sup
port the Communist Party and vote
for Foster and Ford" declared Mrs.
Patterson, mother of Roy Patterson,
one of the seven Negro boys sentenced
to death in Scottsboro. Mrs. Will
liams, mother of Eugene Williams,
one of the two Scottsboro boys who
are to stand a new trial, also spoke
and supported the Communist pro-
gram.
"Regardlness Of Race"
The convention gave rousing well
come to the Scottsboro mothers, and
| passed a resolution demanding the
release of the boys.
Jeff johnson, Negro miner nom
mated for congress by this conven-
ton, expressed the spirit Of the whole
session when he said: Nov that we
cooperate regardless Of color or race,
we will handicap the bosses like they
handicapped us"
Many delegates spoke on the neces-
sity of uniting the struggle Of Negro
and white workers. The convention
meets in a state which prevents I'M
employed workers and the miners on
starvation pay, from voting at all
by demanding that they first pay a
$3.50 poll tax. The fight for the
right to vote will be big issue in
the Communist campaign.
Nominate
The convention nominated twelve
presidential electors for Foster and
Ford, and elected a committee o.
nine to manage the Communist state
election campaign. 1t chose as nom
inees for state office:
Charlie Marlowe, a farmer, fol
governor; Jess Smith, a miner, con-
gresham from the first district; JEFF
Johnson, congressman from the Sec
ond district; Fred Starr, Negro la
borer, congressman from the thiro
district; Ollie overton, a factory
worker, congressman from the tenth
district.

GATLIFF, KY, June 81
The Communist Party CAM
paign is sweeping the mining
camps of Eastern Kentucky
lik e wild-fire. Practically
every miner openly states he
will support the whole Party
ticket. There won't be ten
people in this camp that won't
vote the Communist ticket
straight" said one miner. "we all
have our minds made up to vote the
communist ticket straight" said
miner from Kettle Island. Every

told of the solid support given the
Communist Party and It's demand for
unemployment insurance and against
wage cuts, .-s,s.4,,........

The bosses are resorting to all
kinds of vicious lies. A typical ex-
ample is the circulation of a paper
purpcrting to be signed by ex-soldiers
who give their support to the Re-
publican Party. Many of the men
whose names are on this paper never
even knew of its existence until after
it was published. The document
claims to be list of exsoldiers sup
porting j. M. Robson for Congress.
Forge Communist Names.
Among the names forged Is that Of
Frank Reynolds, ex-soldier and the
Communist Candidate for Congress
from the 9th KY district. Comrade
Reynolds will make affidavit to the
effect that he never signed the paper
and told them not to use his name.
There are others who will do the
same. The name of Alex Reynolds,
Carpenter, KY, also appears on the
list of ex-soldiers. Alex Reynolds
died in the Fall of 1881.
The Communist Party is answer
ing this vicious attack by mobilizing
the masses of worker ex-servicemen
for the support Of the Party, along
with the hundreds of miners and
farmers, Negro and white.
The Workers Ex-Servicemen are
preparing to circulate petition de-
nying that they signed the forged
petition offered by the Republican
candidate as a vote catcher. They
are conscious of the fact that only
the Communist Party puts up real
fight for immediate payment of the
bonus, for unemployment insurance
Of jobless exservicemen, against i'm
perialist wars and the whole hunger
system of capitalism.

LIMOGES IN u. s.,
JAPAN TALK WAR
Gen. Araki in Bid for
Joint Attack on
u. S. S. r.

The sharpening clash of interests
between the two imperialist brigands,
Japan and the U. S. A., was further
emphasized yesterday with the open
ing Of campaign to whip up war
sentiment by the lingo press of both
countries. In this country, the Hearst
papers denounced the recent Japa-
nese ultimatum to the United States
as San affront" to the Wall Street
government. The japanese ultima
tum was issued by Viscount IShii, who
warned the Hoover Government that
any attempt on its part to resist the
Japanese program of expansion" on
the Asiatic mainland would result in
war.
The Japanese have rejected the
Hoover "arms cut" proposals and de-
fly the Wall Street Governments pro-
test against the Japanese seizure OF
the Chinese customs revenues at
Darien.
The Hoover Government fears that
the Japanese seizure of these customs
will further weaken the Marking
Government and thus undermine
American influence in China. The
Hoover arms cut" proposals aim to
strengthen imperialism at the ex-
pense of its rivals. The proposals
call for American naval equality with
England and reduction off the armed
forces of Japan and France.
The Japanese lingo press is assail-
ing the Hoover "arms cut" proposals
as a direct attack on Japan. Both
the japanese lingo press and Gen.
Araki, Japanese war minister, yester-
day attacked the existence of the So
Wet Union as a menace" to world
capitalism. In this way, they hope
to rally world imperialism behind ia
pan on the basis of a joint armed
intervention against the Soviet Union
and its triumphant socialist construc-
ton.
Strong opposition to the Hoover
EARNS cut" proposals is also expressed
in French and British imperialist cir
Giles. The American imperialists are
fully aware that the Hoover propo-
sails are absolutely unacceptable to
their imperialist rivals.
Such deceitful proposals are al
ways cleverly designed for rejection
by the other imperialist powers. The
only genuine disarmament proposals
made by the Soviet Union, was re-
jected by the inperialists.
The churches were also modified
on Sunday to support Wall Streets
drive to camouflage its war prepara-
lions under cover of the sham Hoover
"arms cut" proposals.

mines opened, we have a shortage of
workers. We have the pleasure of
inviting foreign workers to come and
work together with us and build up
Socialism.
Foreign engineers receive up to
1000 rubles month, and less highly
qualified workers receive from $50
rubles to $50 rubles.
'a Let US mention our living condi-
tons. We are building new houses,
and we live in warm, light and pleas
ant dwellings. In the old days, only
high officials, landlords and bour-
geoisie lived in such houses, but now
they are occupied by workers. IIs4

AT work we receive working clothes,
We shall improve these conditions
till they are ten times better. We
have built a Palace of Culture, 200
houses, laid tram line so that we
can travel to work, whereas we for
merly had to work S to 10 versts to
work and home again.
These are our achievements. We
are not satisfied to stop at this point,
but we shall move forward along the
same path.

Pace A Candidate.
A large section of the veterans
quartered in the Communicated
buildings on Twelfth Street have
placed up as for commander can
didate of the B. E. r George Pace,
leader of the Workers Ex-Service-
mems League. Pace was elected
commander of the 14th Regiment
last week and has been the outstand-
ing leader OF, the veterans along the
line of militant struggle.
Yesterday a group Of aroused
worker vets forced the remnants of
the Waters gang to give shelter to a
mother and two children, members
of the bonus army who had been
ousted from their tent for two days
by the military police because the
mother insisted on militant action
to win the bonus.
T. w. Evans, chaplain of the B.
E. F., sanctioned the ousting of the
woman and the two children from
their shelter.
The bonus army has not decreased.
Although some have left for home,
they have been replaced by new ar
rivals. New contingents of veterans
are forming all over the country and
many are now on their way to the
Capital to join their comrades in the
fight.
Demand Extra Session.
The Workers Elk Servicemen's
League issued a call today for the
vets to demand an extra session of
Congress to take up the bonus. Posts
of the Workers Ex-Servicemen's
Leagoe throughout the country are
organizing new groups to march to
Washington to reinforce the contin-
gents already there.
James Davis, Negro veteran,
member Of the Post w. E. S. L.,
was refused relief by the Salvation
Army when he applied for pair of
working pants.
"If you quit the bonus army" said
the Salvation Army officer in charge
of the relief" you can have the
pants. Otherwise you will have to
go without them"
The Salvation Army has large
tent in Camp Anacosti where the
usual religious hokum is dished out
in place of food and relief.
