1t is an admission of the terrible con-
ditions under which the southern
masses and especially the Negro mas
ses are forced by capitalism to exist
1t Is the capitalists fear of Commun-
list leadership in the struggles of the
workers that prompts this attempt
to exterminate by the death pen
atty" the revolutionary leaders of the
oppressed toiling masses.
The six workers are two Negro men,
Herbert Newton, organizer for the
American Negro Labor Congress, and
Henry Story, an Atlanta worker; two
white men, M. II. Powers, organizer
for the Communist Party, and Joe
Carr, organizer for the Young Com
munist League; and two white girls,
Ann Burlak and Marry Dalton, or
ganizers for the International Labor
Defense and the National Textile
Workers Union.
Distributing a 1eaflet which con-

state Of Georgia seeks the death pen
