up by the Nationa. Textile Workers
Union. These demands were pub.

Will Organize for Demands
"No matter what your actions
may be here to lower the standard
of living of the textile workers.
declared Croll, mo matter what
strike breaking measures you pass
we are going out to get our de-
mands. We are going to organize
the workers to back up and strug-
gle for their demands to proven,
the starvation level you propose to
fasten on them
Deputy Administrator Allen ther
asked Croll if she thought she got
"fair" hearing, or whether she
thought she was Disseminated
against.
"We were here yesterday with a
workers delegation" she said. "You
refused to give US the right to
speak. 1t was only after our dele
cation left, because they could not
afford to stay,it was only after we
had to arouse trade unions to pro-
test, that we were given hearing.
You did not want to listen to the
testimony of the textile workers."
Immediately after June Croll fin
ished speaking, George P. Sloan OF
the Cotton Textile Institute, was
given the floor. He announced that
a new agreement had been reached
and that the wage scale would be
revised to $40 to S12 for Southern
textile workers and $12 to $13 for
Northern textile workers.

TO DEMAND JUDGE,
HORTON SET BAIL
FOR NEGRO BOYS
Workers at Meetings
Demand Release of
All 9 Youths

NEW YORK-The demand that
Judge Horton set bail for the Scots
boro boys, whose innocence he has
been forced to officially admit, but
who are still held in Birmingham
County jail, will be made by the
International Labor Defense In
habeas corpus proceedings in his
court next Monday, it was announced
today.
While lawyers for the I. L. D. were
preparing to leave for Alabama,
meetings and protest demonstrations
continued throughout the country.
The immediate and unconditional
release of all the Scottsboro boys is
the keynote at these meetings.
William L. Patterson, national sec
retary of the I. L. D., yesterday issued
a call for mass participation in the
demand, pointing out that it is the
mass pressure and protest which has
saved the lives of the boys SO far,
and finally forced Judge Horton to
grant a new trial to Haywood Patter-
son.
Judge Horton has admitted in his
opinion granting Haywood Patterson
a new trial, that the evidence against
the boy was completely discredited,
Patterson said.
Greater mass protest alone will
force Judge Horton now to grant bail
to these boys whose innocence he has
admitted. This is one of the inme-
diate steps toward their uncondi-
tional release.
EVERY worker, every sympsthizer,
must express this protest in wires,
letters and resolutions, to Governor
B. M. Miller, at Montgomery, Ala,
and to Judge A. E. Horton at De-
catur, Ala, demanding that he re-
lease the boys whose innocence he
has admitted"

OIL waiting. In Wnich Johnson re-
fused to allow the workers a right
to speak, the textile workers had
returned to their homes before their
union representative was given the
right to speak.
"The 40-hour provisions in the
proposed CODE" said Croll, "would
not provide more jobs. 1t would re-
suit in the loss of jobs because of
the speed-up. 1t will mean night
work for women in Massachusetts
where night work is now prohibited.
Governor Ely of Massachusetts
is already preparing a message to
Congress to make it possible to en-
ploy women at. these starvation
wages at night. The United Textile
Workers Union Council, at a joint
meeting of the Bedford and Fall
River Council, voted to support
Governor Ely in providing night
work for women between the hours
of six and ten at night.
Will Cut Wages
"The code does not call for any
increase in wages, although that
impression is sought to be given"
Croll quoted statistics to show that
operations in the mills for which
the code provides an S11 wage now
pay more, and that the $11 wage
would be an actual slash in wages.
president Roosevelt is supposed
to be the final arbitrator on these
Codes" Croll stressed, "and under
Section 7, there is a clause which
makes this industrial recovery bill
a strike-b breaking maneuver to be
enforced by the President of the
United States"

tual wording of the code to prove it

KAHN GIVES
SUPPORT TO
NEW deal" "
Approves Roosevelt S
Purchasing
Program

WASHINGTON June 30-The two
main developments of the Senate in
quiry yesterday into the affairs of
the Wall Street banking house of
Kuhn, Loeb &, Co. we're the disclosure
of an enormous profit in a single
railroad deal. and Otto Kahn's sup
port of the Roosevelt program.
The Kuhn, Loeb company made
S10 0,540,000 clear profit in arranging
for the organization of the Pennroad
Corporation, railroad holding COM
pany used by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road in its gigantic fights for control
of Eastern roads, particularly the
New York. New Haven.
The thousands cf small investors
who put their money into this venture
have lost S106,O00,GS
Supports Roosevelt
Commenting on the Roosevelt
price-raising and wage-cutting pro-
gram, Kahn said, "All of us must give
the new legislation fair trial"
Kahn has always been a generous
contributor to both the Democratic
and Republican parties. He has also
been a member of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
Made Big Profits
Between the years 1927 and 1881.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. made profits of
SIG, 1888, ,436, on the stock and bond
issues originated by the firm. The
firm, OF course, made millions in
other speculations and investments.
Pennroa1 was formed in 1929 by
the Pennsylvania Railroad to consoli-
date its grip on the roads through
the Eastern coal territory and New
England. Through the money placed
in its hands by investors who bought
Pennroad, it succeeded in getting
control OF the New Haven and other
roads. The thousands of small in
vestors have lost their money, but
the Pennsylvania still has control of
the roads whose securities It bought
in 1929.
Tries To Hide Cause of Stock Crash
Kahn attempted to explain the 1929
stock crash as the result of "bear
selling" In this way he attempted 10
explain away the tue cause, the capi-
talist crisis. Kahn knows very well
that no amount of bear selling" can
permanently depress a market if the
stock corporations continue to have
expanding profits.
Paid No Taxes
Earlier in the Inquiry it was shown
that Kahn, who is reputed to have a
fortune of about 100000 600, paid no
income taxes during the last three
years of crisis, pursuing the same
practices as Morgan, establishing
losses" by the simple transfer Of
stock to a friend or relative, and
calling it sale"
1t was also shown that the firm
issued s70OO0,o0O loan of Chile in
this country on inadequate examina-
ton of the country's financial posi-
ton.
Kuhn, Loeb made a large profit on
this transaction, but the people who
bought the bonds lost practically all
of the $4,000 roc, since the bonds are
now in default
To End Inquiry
The Senate Committee expects to
bring its investigation of the Penn
road Company to quick close some
time today or tomorrow. Then it
expects to adjourn until October.
Obviously, this will leave by far the
greatest part of the affairs of the
Pennroad Company and Kuhn, Loeb
untouched.

be due more to a lack of interest
than to any aggressive selling.
