900 N. Y. Families
Fight Foreclosure
by M'tge Company
Bronx Co-Operatives
Organize for Fight
Against Receiver

| NEW YORK.-A mass meeting Of
tenants of the Cooperative houses al
2700-2900 Bronx Park East, which
houses over 700 families, comprising
around 1000 people, filled the audi
forum of the Cooperative Saturday
and unanimously adopted a resolu-
ton to fight against efforts of the
State Insurance Co. to wrest their
homes away from them.
On Friday, the insurance company
sent a receiver to the Office of the
Cooperative colony on the grounds of
alleged non-payment Of interest on
the mortgage.
The tenants voted full confidence
in the Cooperative management and
determined to fight against the &C
tons of the mortgage holder.
A committee of fifteen were elected
D go on with the plans Of struggle
to maintain the buildings.
The Cooperative, due to the crisis
and the fact that some of the unem-
ployed tenants were unable to pay
rent, were behind in their payments
to the company.
They demanded that the company
reduce the interest to three per cent,
instead of six per cent and to make
1t possible to reduce the rents Of the
tenants so they can pay the rent.
The mortgage company did not CO.
operate, but instead accuses the col
ony management of not exerting
enough pressure in collecting rents,
etc.
At the meeting Saturday night, A.
Lotker, manager of the Cooperative,
reported the situation to the tenants,
who determinedly decided to fight
against their being taken away.
The houses were built about seven

GeiSer, Anti-FaSciSt,
InBkln. Court Today
Workers Urged to Turn
Out in Defense

NEW YORK For the fourth time
in several weeks, an attempt will be
made to railroad Martin Geiser, anti
fascist fighter, to jail when his case
comes up again this morning in Kings
County Court, Part 4, 100 Schermer-
horn ST., Brooklyn.
At the last hearing, the judge re-
fused to proceed with the case when
workers packed the court in militant
protests against the campaign to rail-
road Geiser. Only the workers can
again defeat this dastardly attempt.
Every worker is urged TO be in court
this morning. All workers organiza-
tions are urged to deluge the court
with protest kilograms.

no demand was granted against dis

Maloney and Cappalinni's complete
betrayal of miners, was shown at the
convention called for the purpose Of
hearing the report of the Executive
Committee of the U.A.M.P. yesterday.
The reporters to the convention,
consisted of Monsignor Curan, Col
Smith, editor of the Times Leader;
Judge Mclean, of the N.R.A.; and
Comerford, of the N.R.A. Patriotic
speeches rang through the auditorium
for more than two hours.
Early in the convention a delegate
made motion that the report of the
Executive Committee be accepted,
which was that the miners return to
work on the promise that there would
be no discrimination, but the dele
gates booed the mover of the motion
from the floor. This was before the
big guns had been fired.
Father Curran was the cheer leader
for the acceptance Of the program Of
the N.R.A., with plea for peace
and harmony throughout the Wyo-
ming Valley. But when asked by a
delegate whether the telegram that
had been received guaranteed that
there be no discrimination, he had to
admit that there was no assurance
that every one would be returned to
work
Maloney was very careful that there
was nothing brought before the con-
vention about the demands OF the
miners for the colliery rate sheet
rates, for consideration work, or any
of the demands Of the miners.
He made it very plain that this
was q matter that the MIRA. COM
mission would take up as soon as
they came in. A delegate wanted to
know when the commission would
come in to take up the grievances.
This was answered by saying that
they would be in within the next
few days.
Meloney called the work of the ex-
ecutive board wonderful victory for
the miners.
Judge Mclean talked about the
wonderful things that the miners
would have to be thankful for this
Thanksgiving. He told how the re-
turn of the miners to the mines would
fill up the stockings of the children
at Christmas time.
The miners voted to return to work
They have not won any of their de-
nands. The question is, What will
the next step be.
The Committee of Action calls upon
the miners to set up committees that
will raise the issue in all of the local
unions CT both unions, for the restora-
tion of the coilieTy rate sheet rates,
for consideration work, for the pay
ment of all dead work, no di5criin-
nation. The gravest danger exists that
the commission will abrogate the
present agreement, and set up code
for the anthracite miners, on the
basis of the code that they have
forced the miners of the bitumlnous
field to accept, which is a minimum
wage of $14 and SIS per week which
will really be the maximum, the day
rate OF s4.60 for the Northern field.

Today the Daily" reveals the
names of 81 Decatur, Ala, men
named in affidayits obtained by
the International Labor Defense
as the men who attempted to
lynch Thomas Brown, framed Ne
gro worker, in Decatur last Au-
gust.
The background of the recent
lynching of George ArmwOOd, Ne
gro worker, in Princess Anne, on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland as
given in a report by Daily Work
er investigator, working in COOP
Grafton with the League of Strug-
gle for Negro Rights, into the
social and economic conditions Of
white and Negro workers there,
will be published in the Daily
Worker tomorrow.
The names of 81 residents of De-
catur charged with attempting to
lynch Thomas Brown, Negro charged
with rape in crude frame-up
last August, are given in an affi-
daYit by an investigator, made pub
lie yesterday by the International
Labor Defense, the League of Strug-
gle for Negro Rights, and the Daily
Worker. The affidavit is made by an
investigator for the LID, who went
through Decatur shortly after the
lynching, collecting evidence of
lynch-incitement against the Scots
boro boys.
The same men, affidavits def
nitely intimate, are responsible for
the lynching, on the same day, Au-
gust %, of James Royal, a Negro
boy.
The sworn affidavit, signed by
John williams, states:
"a J. Banbee, 103 w. Cherry St..
said that he was the one who had
rounded up the boys in the neigh
borhood to try to lynch Thomas
Brown, a Negro who was being held
by the sheriff, accused of an al
legged crime of rape against a white
woman. He further said:
The time to break this raping
up is when it is like young tree,
because a tree is easy to pull UP
when it's young. and when the rap
ing first starts is the time to lynch
them right then

shot is fired, SO that the next day
must be spent in repair work instead
of loading coal.
The Gallup miners realize this and
remain solid. The operators are des-
perate. Through the agency Of the
State, they have appealed for "medi-
alton" Once more than Blue Eagle
casts shadow over true victory fol
the Gallup miners.
Madrid Miners Win Demands
Similarly in Madrid, where strike
is threatened in the mines and where
the miners are organized IS per cent
in the NMU., Major John D. Moore
will make a stop to prevent the
strike" BY mere threat to strike,
Madrid miners have gained II out of
Is demands presented to the Albu-
querque and Cerillos Coal Co.
Miners of Gallup and Madrid must
learn from previous experiences the
role of these impartial emissaries
Of capitalism. In Gallup we are suf-
fering under the whip of the sim
partial" fascist tyrant, General Os-
borne G. Wood. Our comrades in
Jail are tasting impartial" capitalist
justice.
We must reject all attempts to
weaken our struggle. The only way
to win better mine conditions for the
miners is the path we have followed
for two and one-half months to fight
and force from the operators the right
to live. We must smash all efforts
to weaken our ranks. Let us an
swer to Mr.. Moore as we answered
Grubbs. Let the miners, who must
slave and suffer in the mines, decide
on conditions for a settlement.
A committee OF The National
Miners Union has left for Santa
Fe demanding the release of strike
leaders held in the military stock
AIDE. They need doctors care. The
strike leaders are again on strike
in the stockade against forced Ia
Dor, and have been on a diet OF
bread and water. Tony Bubany
was arrested at Allison for issuing
statement in the name of the
National Miners Union. The NM.
U. has recruited many new mem
berS in the past few days. Strik-
ers at Madrid we're assaulted by
gunner.

| really out to care for their interests.
But their love for athletics is SO
great that they continue to compete
in spite Of lousy prizes, lack Of train
! ing facilities, etc. OF course, I also
know many who have quit in dis
| gust and retired due to the bad con-
ditions, but they are in the minority.
The rest, once they start dts like
disease, once you get the running bug
you always come back for more)
compete till they die.
In this connection I speak OF
Marathon and other long distance
runners who I know have competed
from 10 to 20 years. They like the
sport so much that in spite of all
rotten conditions, they still compete.
One friend Of mine said to me: "Lis-
ten, Al. know the A. A. U. is q
bunch of conniving, crooked politi-
clans, and I'm disguised with condi-
tions, but every time retire I get
sick. I am A years old doesn't look
over 800 and am completing over II
years and don't expect to get any
money or any decent prizes, but do it
solely for health benefits, and it
keeps me away from poolrooms and
other bad places"
Now the reason for bringing all
these facts out are that you are con-
tinuously criticizing amateur sports,
but what have you done construc-
lively? Outside Of Soccer, you and
the Labor Sports Union have been
woefully negligent. In my opinion
the time is ripe to organize q strong
Labor Sports Union for all sports and
especially for Track and Field ath-
letics. I, for one, and many Of my
athletic friends would gladly turn in
our A. A. U. cards and pay the neces-
sery IS cents for q Labor Sports
Union card and compete for an or
ganization that is out for our well
fare If we had the assurance that
they would be interested and stage
races for us. The prizes are Of no
special Importance, only the Daily
Worker should give us the necessary
write-ups. You'd be surprised how
many members we'd get in a year on
two.
Let me know what you think OF
my idea and arrange so that see
you personally. The trip to Soviet
Russia to compete in their Sparta
kiade or Olympiad would also add an
incentive to their training.
Yours for sport,
JOHN NELSON

There is a well-recogniZed need Of
the coordination of the various public
housing agencies, which have been in
creasing in number so rapidly" Mr..
Bohn states. I'VE intend to work
closely with all existing agencies and
to do what we can to help make their
work more effective
while active membership in our or
ganiZation will be limited strictly to
public officials, we invite all others in
terested in housing and Slum clearance

FREDERICK ONLY COUNTY
NOT ASKING SCHOOL FUND
County Superintendent Returns
From Richmond Session With
Report of Standing.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WINCHESTER, Va, December a
Frederick is the only county in Virginia
that has not applied for Federal funds
with which to build or repair school
properties, according to information
brought today from Richmond by Leslie
D. Kline. county school superintendent,
who had been attending the annual
meeting of the Virginia Education AS
ISOLATION. Ninety-nine other counties
have applied for amounts of varying
size, either to construct new school
buildings or repair those now used.
Mr. Kline called the matter to the
attention of the Frederick County School
Board, which has decided to hold a
special meeting Monday to go into the
matter of applying for Federal grants
and loans.
The School Board recently petitioned
the Board of Supervisors to cooperate in
erecting central high school building
for pupils of the northern and western
sections Of the county, to cost approx
mately 100000, but the county legisla-
tive body rejected the project at the
time on the ground it would entail addi-
tional tax burdens. Just now the prof.
ect is being revived.

URGED
TO BUY TAGS NOW
Traffic Director Warns Of
Last-Minute Rush for
License Plates.

Fearing a iast-minute rush for 1894
automobile tags, Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer issued an appeal yes
terday to automobile owners to apply for
the new plates without undue delay.
1t is much more convenient to pro-
cure tags now" Van Duzer warned,
than to wait until the last of the
month and be forced to stand in line
four and five hours
Issuance of the 1884 tags started Mon
day, and in the five and half days the
Traffic Department was open, Van Duzer
said, only 10000 sets of plates were
issued, leaving approximately 10000
more to De distributed. An eleventh.
hour rush, ne declared, is inevitable. un-
less the demand increases this week.
Van Duzer said the time limit on the
beyond December 81, and car owners
without 1884 tags would not be allowed
on the street after that date.
More tags are being distributed BY
mail this year than ever before, Van
Duzer said, which has reduced mate
rally the size of the lines of car owners
at the Traffic Department. Tags will be
mailed to all applicants who forward an
additional 10 cents with their personal
property tax and tax license fee.
Virtually all the applications for tags
have been mailed to car owners, and
those who have not received the blanks
are urged by Van Duzer to communicate
with the Traffic Department. More than
10000 applications have been returned
because of incorrect addresses.

POSTING Of TAX|CAB
Rates IS ORDERED
Public Utilities Commission
Acts to Halt Disputes
on Hack Fares.

More specific announcement Of the
various rates Of fare charged by local
taXicab companies must be posted
prominently on each car in service,
under an order issued yesterday by the
Public Utilities Commission, effective a
week from today.
The new order was issued, it was ex-
planned, in response to numerous COM
plants filed with the commission by
taxicab passengers that they had been
charged more than the established
rates.
Misunderstanding Is Cause.
Some of these complaints. some OBJ
servers say, may nave resulted from
lack Of understanding OF just what was
the rate for a particular cab company.
The new order requires that each cab
must have posted on the right side of
the windshield and On the glass of the
right rear door the rates under which
it is operating.
More than 1900 cabs are operating
under uniform zone rates agreed to
some weeks ago by voluntary action of
the companies. These must post the
rate designation of "20-30- SOTO" and
conference zones"
1000 on 3-Zone Systems.
There are about 1000 other cabs
operating under :hree-Zone fare sys-
TENS and few on metered rates. The
cabs on these zone rates must carry one
of the following signs:
"20-40-60. Three Zones"
"20-40-60-80. Four Zones"
"35-60-95-1 80. Four Zones"
A sample of the sign to be carried
by the metered cabs is: 'Metered rates:
20 cents for miles; cents each addi-
tional a mile"
