All over the hall the workers gath

to Roosevelt for
Arrest Of Foster
Federal Guarantee of
Safety for Three
Also Demanded

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. - Demand
for direct action by President Roose-
welt, to safeguard the lives Of three
Negro prisoners held in Tuscaloosa
county Jail and threatened with
lynching, and federal arrest of Judge
Henry B. Foster and Sheriff R. L.
Shamblin, on the basis Of the COM
plete breakdown of law and law en-
forcement in Alabama, was made to-
day in a wire to the president by
Frank Spector, assistant national sec
rotary of the International Labor De-
tense.
The three in Tuscaloosa county
jail are Elmore Clark, who escaped
death at the hands of the small gang
which lynched Dan Pippen, Jr., and
A. r. Harden, Sunday. and was found
wounded by pistol shots late Mon
day; Willie Unison and Dan Pip
pen, ST., held in connection with the
same murder for which Pippen and
Harden were indicted. The LID. has
charged and offered to prove that
the cases were "the crudest frame-up
perpetrated in years."
Failure of Governor Miller to ar
rest Judge Foster and Sheriff Sham
bin for Sundays lynchings, and his
permitting them to conduct the 'In-
vestigation" of lynchings in which
they themselves have been charged
with direct responsibility, as well as
the new threats today against the
lives of the Negroes in Tuscaloosa
prison were the basis of the LID
demand to President Roosevelt.
An immediate answer as to what
steps the president was taking was
demanded in the wire.

PlCKETS In
METAL STRIKE
More Shops Join as
Strikers Ranks In
crease to $500
BOSSES CALL N. r. A.
Deny Strikers Right
to Join Union of
Own Choice

NEW YORK. - An important
strike settlement and the arrest of
II pickets at the Keystone Co. shop
marked the developments in the
general strike of the metal workers
called on Tuesday by the Metal
Workers Industrial Union and the
Metal Spinners Union jointly. The
strike movement is growing with
more shops having Joined today.
The strikers ranks increased to
1850, according to the strike COM
mittee.
The first settlement in the strike
occurred at the United Metal Co.
in Brooklyn where the workers
struck against the attempt to re-
duce their pay when the company
adopted shorter work week under
the NRA blanket code. The work
ers demanded a 10 per cent in
crease in wages with the reduction
in hours from so to 40 a week.
The company called in an NRA
representative to help force down
the strikers demands to the mini
mum.
Although pretending to be i'm
partial the NRA man sponsored
the bosses interests and refused to
permit recognition Of the Metal
Workers Industrial Union, the
union which the majority of the
workers have chosen to represent
them, on the ground that it was
''red' union.
The strikers were firm for re-
cognition of their shop committee,
however realizing that they must
keep their organization to guaran-
tee the gains they have won.
Shop committee recognition was
finally agreed to and scale of
40 cents an hour and the shorter
work week with no reduction in
pay, was established. A minimum
scale was established providing $12
a week for 40 hours for those
formerly receiving $40 for so hours
and proportionate increases for
those receiving higher wages. Other
terms in the agreement were time
and third. for overtime and no
discharges for activity in strike ''if
the strikers were not against law
and order" This provision will per-
nit the boss to victimize active
workers. About SIS per cent of the
workers have lined up in the union
and the whole shop Is expected to
join to be on guard for the workers
interests.
II pickets were arrested yes
terday when mass picket line OF
400 in front of the shop of the
Keystone Co. gave active resist
ance to the attempt to bring in
scabs to man the strikers places.
Harsh, the owner, has charged
James Lustig, secretary of the
Metal Workers Industrial Union
with threat to kill in an effort
to frame the strike leader. Scabs
are being brought into the Key
stone shop under heavy police guard
but the number of scabs is de-
creasing as a result of the strikers
activity.
Committees organized for strike
work are swinging into action. The
workers of the Majestic shop are
actively spreading the strike to
shops in the light metal industry.
Workers of tla cclluloid trade are
joining the strike.
The Liberty, Labelle and other
bosses are calling for conferences
with the union to settle the strike.
IAN important general strike
meeting will take place today at
2 o'clock at Manhattan 1yceum.
All strikers must be present.

CASE OF FRAMED
NEGRO WORKER IS
In COURT TODAY

NEW YORK .-Hammie Snipe, Ne
gro worker framed on a charge Of
assault for demonstrating for relief
on May 10, will be tried Thursday
at Special Sessions Court, 80 Frank
lin Street, New York. A courtroom
packed with workers will help COM
rade Snipe in this fight.
Snipe, who has been active in many
workingclass struggles, especially in
the strike of the laundry workers and
in the fight for relief, against the
Tammany starvation program, was
badly beaten up when arrested, and
despite his condition he was denied
medical treatment and taken to
headquarters to be fingerprinted.

quickly, as though their own mother
had given the instruction.
Two unorganised Negro women
were asked about their shop. Mrs.
Neville, widow, did the talking.
"They don't want Communists" she
said heatedly, 'but they're gonna
have 'em until they do what's right"
She had to stay home one day be-
cause her baby was sick, and the
boss deducted this day from her
$3.50 wages. When she complained
he told her: "What have I got to
do with your sick baby" She gave
her answer to this, callousiy brutal

explained to this worker and for an

Guilty Of trying to deal with diff
ferent conditions in a rigid and
uniform way. It is not economi-
cally possible to produce coal in
Alabama except at very low
operating expenses, including
wages. zone reason is the strong
competition Of natural gas in that
Section0
It follows that If wages are
fixed as high in Alabama as in
some other sections, the coal
mines will be forced to operate
at a loss and to close down. That
in turn, would throw men out OF
work.
On the other hand, if the wages
are fixed high, the results might
be unfair to operators in other
sections.
Any control over prices and
costs must clearly be sufficiently
elastic and localized to allow for
the many difference in con-
ditions and changes therein.
This makes the job extremely
complicated.
When we try to simplify things
artificially, and to deal with busi-
ness conditions in a blanket"
way, we run into trouble.

As Outlook
BrightenS

NEW YORK, Sept. 80 d.N.SJ.
With reports again current Of
an imminent statement by
President Roosevelt on the
status Of the dollar, the Ameri-
can monetary unit developed
rallying tendencies in the local
foreign exchange market today.
Trading, however, was extreme
ly light.
The French franc, which had
crossed 6 cents yesterday,
dropped back to 5.98 cents, off
2 points, while British sterling
declined 20 of a cent to $4.75b.
This gave the. dollar a gold
value of 65.63 cents.
With the exception of the
Dutch guilder, which rose 7
points to 61.72 cents, the Eu-
ropean currencies all ruled
lower against the dollar. The
Swiss franc lost "a points to
1855 cents, the Italian lire
was off 11a points at
8.041a cents, the belga was II
points lower at 21.34 cents, and
the German mark off points
at 1855.
The Scandinavian currencies
slipped off S points, but the
Japanese yen showed uneX-
pected strength, rising 8 points
to 28.15,
