SONGS AND PLAYS

The songs and plays of this country have too
much influence over people. Both of them are
pitched on too low level to inspire good thinking
and create desire for righteous living
Of course the craze for money has caused men
to destroy their neighbors far and near, and GER
tainly it is bad to rob of material things.
Yet it is of minor importance when compared to
the stealing away of mans thinking powers o!
his moral independence, leaving him to listen to
and stare at the songs and dances of those who
have no interest in building better standard Of
things and only thinking of the things they
can extort from thoughtless people. We seem to
be satisfied to grope through the world for what
we can see and hear.-Williamston Enterprise.

Zimmerman Supports
Dress Strike Scabbing,

NEW YORK.-CharleS thinner
man, Lovestoneite manager of Local
% of the International Ladies' Gar

take any steps to call out workers in
the International-contr shops in
support of a strike against wage
cuts. The strike was called in two
contracting shops of a jobber, owner
Of the Romance Frock, 463 Seventh
Ave, by the Needle Trades Indus
trial Union, when the jobber ordered
that prices be cut.
Zimmerman, when interviewed by
a committee of strikers, tried to in

and the Joint Board officials, by

His statement is introduced as fol-
lows in the Bridgeport Herald:
"The manufacturers statement

McLevy won't disappoint his we'll

The most outstanding figure that

Mr.. Stoddard is the director Of an
impressive list of scab corporations.

Not all Of the Socialist Party men,
bers in. Bridgeport feel comfortable
with such bedfellows, and more than
one protest against the McLevy pro-

National Office of the Socialist

Your deponent heard many of

stance and effect; IF that New York
lawyer, Leibowitz, ever puts his foot
in this place again, there will be a

The intensive Northumberland by
the white landlord press of Ala
bama, whose directors are fearful
of losing their prey through the ire
mendous mass movement for the
lives and freedom of the Scots
boro boys, is directly responsible for
this spirit of murder abroad in Ala
bama and throughout the country.
Behind this press are Attorney
General Thomas E. Knight of Ala
bama, Judge w. w. Callahan, Ku
Klux Klaner appointed by Chief
Justice Anderson of the Alabama
State Supreme Court to "try" the
Scottsboro cases, beginning Nov. 81,
and to hear the arrangements Of the
nine innocent defendants Nov. 20,
in the lynch-ridden town of De-
catur.
Other affidayitS now in the pos
session of the Daily Worker quote
more than 500 persons in Decatur
and Morgan County as in favor of
lynching the Scottsboro boys.
Through other sources information
has been received of definite plans
to stage the lynching, including the
importation of lynchers from other
states.
All this material the Daily Worker
will publish from day to day, and
it will be presented to the Baltimore

OF Inquiry Into Lynchings, Saturday.
The conference is called by the LIS.

the latter union couldn't supply the
labor. Some employers denied having
any agreement with the A. F. of L.
union as is claimed in the present
trial.
Frances Blau, called to the stand
by the industrial Union, testified that
she had been beaten in her shop last
June by two unknown women when
she refused to join the A. F.. of L.
union. She declared that although
she had worked in the shop for 7
years, she was discharged after she
had complied with the employers
request and had registered with the
A. F. of l.. union, but had also de-
manded that her own union be rec
ognized.
officers Of the A. F. of L. Joint
Council will be subpoenaed to ap-
pear in court today, against strenuous
protests from the plaintiffs lawyer.
Those called will include officials who
were in charge of the affairs of the
union during May and April, when
the bosses launched their drive to
register the workers in the A. F. Of

found guilty on Saturday of feloniou;
assault, first degree, for a raid which
they made April "a on the headquar-
tiers of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union, in which they
wounded more than Is fur workers
with bullets or clubs and killed two
one Of them fur worker.
The jury rendered its verdict OF
guilty, after forty minutes delibera-
ton. Request for postponement OF
the trial until yesterday were denied
by Judge Collins of General Sessions
court, in order to foreStall attempts
to terrorlze the jurors. In his charge
to the jury the judge scored the muir
derous nature Of the unprovoked at
tack made by the gangsters, at the
behest of the fur bosses and the A.
F of L. fur union officials, and
described the crime as "a blot on
our civilization"
No attempt was made during the
entire trial to bring out the real
motives for the attack, which was
inspired by the fur bosses in an at
tempt to terrorize and crush the
militant fur workers section Of the
N. T. W. I. u, and to add Ben Gold,
general secretary Of the union, to the
list of murder victims of the bosses
gangsters. Two others, Morris LANCER,
and N. Ballero, a striking needle
trades worker, had been put ION the
spot" and killed by hired gunner.

dence to offset the dozens of eyewit-
neSSes who testified for the prose-
cutor, Asst District Attorney Irving

took the stand in their own defense.

MIRA Dress Code
Goes Into Effect

NEW YORK-The dress and cloak
code sigred by President Roosevelt
on October 3lst went into effect yes
terday. The code fails to settle the
moot point Of limitation of con-
tractors which has been tho main de-
mand Of the workers to abolish sweat
shop conditions.
The failure Of the IL.GWU. Of
ficials to Incorporate this demand IN
the strike agreement has resulted in
a WIDESPREAD slaslling Of wages be-
low the scales established in the
agreereat following the strike. The
IL.G.W. officials are presenting no
opposition TO the violation of the
agreement and will undoubtedly pro-
tect the bosses in their violatiof, of

Van der Lubbes garrulousness COL
lapsed before the questions of the
presiding judge. who a1ted him why
he took the long walk OF ten kilo-
meters between Spandau and Hen
ningsdorf. Van der Lubbe answered
he didn't know, but began speaking
again declaring he had received
money and food from Graves.
Lubbs Expected To Sleep Well'
Van der Lubbe continuing, said he
was accidentally at the Nasi demon
stration at Spandau, where he spoke
with young man, but cannot say
IL he was a Nazi. Dimitroff asked
him if many .Nazis were at Hennings-
dorf. Van der Lubbe shouted, YES
many Nazis there"
Dimitroff sarcastically declared
'Lubbe knows it," whereupon the
presiding Judge again reprimanded
Dimitroff. Dimitroff retorted that
the bridge to the Reichstag fire was
built at Hennigsdorf.
He asked Van der Lubbe If he was
accidentally in Henningsdorf on Feb
rs. Van der Lubbe smiled meaning
ly, and answered he had expected to
sleep well there. Dimitroff asks sar-
castically did Van der Lubbe par
ticipate in the Reichstag arson. Van
der Lubbe replied that he alone set
fire to the Reichstag.
Torgler asked Van der Lubbe where
he had obtained the liquid fuels with

was fired. He answered he had
bought them, but not liquids only fire
