ALABAMA COP
MURDERS NEGRO
Laborers Paid accents
for 12-Hour Day

BIRMINGHAM, June 27.-An I'M
identified Negro worker was shot to
death by police several nights ago.
The police justify the murder by
claiming that the dead man was
caught in the act of stealing chick
ems.
According to bourgeois traditions
Negroes are either stealing chick
ems" or "raping" white women. These
ISLANDERS are used to Justify" the
savage terror against the Negro
masses aimed at maintaining the
brutal oppression and robbery of the
white landlords and bankers. The
conditions of the Negro masses in
the BLACK Belt" has grown increas-
ingly worse during the crisis.
40 Cents for IL Hours Work.
Reports from Camp Hill, Ala, show
that Negro farm laborers are being
forced to work IL hours a day for 40
cents. OF this amount IS cents goes
To feed the stock and only is cents
remain for the for the laborers
family.
Recently Ralph Meadows, white
landlord, brutally attacked a Negro
cropper for disputing the amount of
a bill presented by white merchant.
In the South It is a crime for a Ne
gro to dispute the word of a white
man.
Choppers Organize.
The Negro share troopers in the
Camp Hill territory are organizing
their committees of the Share Crop
pers' Union despite the murderous
terror of the bosses, terror which
took five victims a few months ago
and threw over 80 troopers into Jail
Thecroppers are theoretically devel-
oping the struggle for local demands
and for self-determination for the
Negro majorities in the Black Belt
with the confiscation of the land of
the rich landowners for the poor Me-
gro and white farmers.

able of defending themselves.
To get back to the main thread
of my story!
On Friday morning, the jap
anese marines came ashore,
manifestly expecting a clear path
through Chapel. But they
reckoned without their "hoStS,
the Chinese.
Forty of the occupiers were
clipped off by Chinese soldiers and
Snipers and from that moment the
unfortif1ed city was doomed.
No advance warning was given
of Japan's intention to bomb the
city.
The first sign that the people
had was when a Japanese bomber
dropped a Very light over the
Jukong road district. This lighted
up the whole territory there
abouts, and gave the aviator
clear view of his target.
He let off a small "fixer." Then
l could hear two high explosive
bombs. Down below I could see

E. new YORK
Safety Board viii Present
Ordinance to Council;
Police Cars Bought.

East New York street, now being
widened and Strengthened, will be
limited to passenger cars and
buses If city council approves an
ordinance ordered drawn up today
by the safety board.
The decision was made on rec
ommendation of Police Chief
Michael Morrissey, who urged that
trucks be barred from the street
as an aid to traffic and to protect
the asphalt pavement.
The plan had been suggested also
by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and
E. Kirk Mckinney, works board
president.
Decision to purchase four Indian
apolis-made cruising cars for the
police department also was reached
by the safety board.
Bid of the Marmon company for
one Marmon sedan at 81 ,480 net,
and bid of the Stutz Motor Car
Company of $4,38O net for three
StutZ sedans we're accepted.
On Morrissey's suggestion four
cruising cars we're purchased in
stead of three cruisers and one large
police emergency car.
It was decided to accept an offer
of the Stutz company to rebuild the
old Stutz emergency car for $500.
which is 5000 below the original es-
innate for repairs on the car,
wrecked several weeks ago.
Morrissey announced that he pro-
posed to purchase a gasoline engine
and generator to supply current at
the police radio station, in an effort
to reduce the city's power and light
bills.
Proposal for boarding and train
ing ten police horses, which the
board vainly has tried to sell for
several p-onths, was submitted by
P. o. Bonham of the Algonquin
Riding Club, Thirtieth street and
KeSSler boulevard.
Bonham offered to board the
horses for $40 a month each, train
ing them and getting them in shape
for sale. The city would provide a
hostler. The board indicated it
might accept the offer.

seems that several units Of the

it as strategic point in their oc-

frozen TARIFF
HIT BY MILLS

The Administration, through
Undersecretary of the Treasury
Ogden L. Mills, today attacked
the new Democratic tariff pro-
gram.
Testifying before the House
Ways and Means Committee,
Mills said the Collier bill would
freeze" the present tariff rates.
Provisions of the bill asking the
President to call permanent
economic conference of nations to
consider lowering trade barriers
cannot be made effective, he said,
as other nations already have
such body operating under the
League of Nations.
He declared the House was pre-
pairing to abandon its constitu-
tional duty of fixing tariff rates
by inaugurating international
treaties to be made by the Presi-
dent.
