to stay the execution of the men who
were to have died on June "a.
Since the death sentence was pro-
nounced at Scottsboro the case has re-
ceived wide attention. II has been the
subject of agitation in this country and
abroad.
When the petition for review was filed
with the highest court, the cases were
presented by Walter H. Pollok. New
York lawyer. He contended the men had
not been given trials guaranteed by the
Constitution, saying their arrests were
followed by threats of mob violence
that required calling out the State Ma
tional Guard.
Pollock also argued that with the
public mind inf1amed against them the
trial judge had improperly refused to
permit them to be tried in another
county. He said they had been forced
to trial without proper preparation of
their cases by counsel and had been
denied the right to question jurors on
whether they entertained racial preju-
dice.
State Opposed Review.
The attorney also claimed colored
men had been excluded from the jury.
Attorney General Knight of Alabama
opposed the review He emphasized
that the Alabama Supreme Court had
reviewed the cases and had failed to
find any grounds for interfering with
the death penalties
While admitting that the alleged
crimes excited curiosity among the
people, Knight denied public sentiment
required calling out the State National
Guard and contended that the county
sheriff had asked for the troops to pre-
vent any mob outbreaks.
Knight also said that the absence of
any co.ored men on the jury was not
significant and did not prove the names
of colored persons were not in the box
from which the jury was drawn. He
insisted that ell due processes of law
had been observed at the trials.

the working day for the crew shall
be hours and guarantees of the

by law watches instead of }

ary power should be vested in q com.

Furthermore, the issue of social
insurance is of special importance to
seamen The majority of the big COM
panies have today an age limit of
40 years for able bodied seamen. The
Standard Oil even as law as IS lears.
The Shipow11ers figure that at that
age q seamens physical condition
is not 100 per cent anymore. It is
in a great many cases true as regards
to eye sight, and if seaman starts
sailing when he was IL years Of age,

At the present time the law allows

sufficient. Our demand should be
