Worker.)
DECATUR, Ala, Nov. "a.
So great is Alabama's hurry to
convict the seven Scottsboro
boys that it arraigned Clarence
Norris late this afternoon over
the objections of Samuel Leibo-
WITT, International Labor Defense
Counsel, that he would not have time
to defend Haywood Patterson proper
ly. The defense is allowed only three
days for the Patterson case. Norris
trial was set for Thanksgiving Day,
Nov. 80.
Now It's get moving" the judge
said, as soon as the arraignment was
over. Lets resume where we left
on, on the Jackson County Jury Roll"
Judge Callahan explained to
newspapernen that he would lock
up the Patterson jury in one Of the
court witness rooms and let them
deliberate while Norris is being
tried In the same court room.
Circuit Judge w. w. Callahan in
terrupted the taking OF testimony in
the Morgan County Court in the de-
Tense motion to quash the Jackson
County indictments by announcing he
wanted to arraign Norris. He had
changed his mind, for some inexpli-
cable reason, about arraigning Char
lie WeemS as he had announced on
Wednesday.
Norris, charged with the same
crime that Haywood Patterson and
the other boys are charged with, thus
has his date for trial set even before
a verdict is reached in the Patterson
case.
Defense Protests
When Judge Callahan started to
pick venire of 100 Morgan County
citizens from which the jury to try
Norris will be picked. he announced
that he would set the trial date for
Thanksgiving Day.
IF the court please" Leibowit5
protested, that gives the defense only
three days to try Haywood Patterson"
That's right" the Judge smiled
amiably, we're going to make speed"
Judge" Leibowitz insisted earnest
iy, i've been through this case be-
fore. 1t can't be done in three days
and defend the accused properly"
Wen see, I'll wind the Patterson
case up Wednesday night, II not,
Thursday morning, God be willing"
II say 1t can't be DONE" Leibowitx
repeated.
''sure it can. How many witnesses
you got?"
about nifty"
well, that ought to take about =
day
Cat the trial this Spring IT took
three days to examine and cross ex-
anime the witnesses. 1t took almost
whole day to pick the jury alone).
Spectators Laugh Approval
The two-score spectators in the
audience laughed approvingly at the
judges insistence that the cases b.
rushed through.
Norris had been arraigned before,
on the Joint indictment applicable TO
all the Scottsboro boys. Separate
trials had been granted them, as u
their right.
Norris, dressed in blue shirt ana
blue overalls, was called before the
bench to hear himself arraigned. He
stood there. twisting worn and fray
ed cap nervously in his hands. AS
soon as the arraignment was over,
he was taken back to the Morgan
County jail, where he and the other
boys have been kept since they were
brought here last Sunday.

Mill to Fight Organization
Returns Vague Answer when Workers Appeal
on Right to Union of Their Choice

workers started out to get it, along
with recognition Of the union. Their
demands were drawn up and signed
to present them to the management.
Before the committee could present
the demands, the mill was shut down
for repairs, which would be till after
the first of the year, before they
started up again. They proposed to
work some of the married men part
time during the shut down. This
looks like an effort to split the ranks
of the workers, but do not believe
they will be successful, as the most
militant workers have pointed this
cut to the workers and they have
sworn TO stand behind their commit
tee solid, and in case of any dis
elimination to strike and demand the
reinstatement of any worker who
might be fired because of union &C
tivity.
The workers failed to see the dan
ger in signing their demands, and
presenting them in that form, even
though they were 100 per cent on
the list Some Of the workers, fear
ing to have their names go into the
office on them, might by trickery on
the part of the management, be in
duced to withdraw their names and
thus only the most militant ones
would be left on the list, thereby
leaving an opening for discrimination.
The cereal workers as a whole de-
sire to have a good strong and mill
tant union, and if they do not get
misled and iI7tead of the workers
in one mill referring to the workers
III the other as the Royal Mills bunch
or the Montana Mills bunch, will stick
as one and not let this or that small
concession on the part of either boss
split them in their demand for recog-
milton Of the union and their raise
in pay and other demands, they are
bound to win.
They should also refuse to be told
that they should not strike at this
time for their demands, nor should
they be carried off into a strike with
out first knowing that they are going
to stick solid till they win.

sun, the creosole burns the face,
hands and bodies of the workers,
They get 80 cents per 100 for this.
The company supplies the workers
homes. These are not home, they
are pig pens. There are SO many
cracks in the houses that you can
see everything from the outside that
is happening inside. These houses
are one mile from the town.
When not working they are refused
relief because the company tells the
town that the workers have a place
to trade at. This is just another one
of the company tricks to rob the
workers of their meager earnings,
through the company stores.
There are about so of these COM
panies throughout the country, and
one in Canada. The main branch is
in Louisville, KY.

osole Co. of the country, in the Daily

The Org. Secretary of District No.
5, analyses the recruiting in the
Pittsburgh District during the month
of December:
On Friday, Dec. is, Comrade Ed
wards wrote an article in the Daily
Worker in the light of the control
tasks OF the open letter and pointed
out some of the weaknesses of the
Pittsburgh District in recruiting in
the basic industries.
1t is fact that during the month
Of November we had the biggest slump
in recruiting generally and especially
among mine and steel workers. I will
not go into the causes of this in the
present article. However, it is nee
essary to state that in the first three
weeks in December we see a great
improvement in this connection, es-
pecially recruiting of miners into our
Party. We have succeeded in forming
three new mine units-one in West
Virginia, one in Central Penna. and
one in the Library territory. Thirty
one miners, members Of the U. M.
w. a., joined our Party in this time.
OF those, Is are employed miners.
Here it is also necessary to state that
six women, wives of these miners,
have also joined the Party during
this period
: In Steel we recruited only seven
workers in these three weeks. One of
the main weaknesses still remaining
is the fact that only one of the min
ers recruited Is a Negro and only a
few of the steel workers are Negroes.
, Here it is necessary in the course of
our Lenin recruiting drive to pay the
closest attention to draw in Negro
workers from the mines and steel
mills into the ranks of our Party.
One of the biggest weaknesses in
this recruiting, though we see i'm
provements in relation to last month,
is the fact that in mining most of this
recruiting did not take place at the
concentration points which indicates
that we are not seriously enough put
ting into effect the control tasks that
we set ourselves at the July District
Pelnum. This is also true in connec-
ton with the recruiting young work
ers and setting up of Y. C. L. units
especially at the points Of Party con-
centration.
In order to be able to overcome
some of these weaknesses, We are
Tightening up our work in and around
the concentration points VI mining
and steel and in these fields in gen.
eral and especially in the course of
the next month Of the recruiting drive
we must bring in many more sec
tons of employed and unemployed
miners and steel workers into the
ranks Of our Party and thereby make
the first step in seriously applying
that section Of the Open Letter which
tells us to Root ourselves among the

Workers Union
(By a workers Correspondence)


PITTSBURGH, Pa.-Joe Till, the
catering manager of the VIM. Penn
Hotel, is the same fellow who on
Dec. 18th, published an article in
the Pittsburgh Telegraph about
the mass meeting of the Hotel and
Restaurant Workers Union Local lis,
branch of the Food Workers Indus
trial Urfon After clipping the ar
ticle he posted it on the blackboards
Of the various departments of the
hotel.
In this article, Uncle Joe, as the
workers call him, described the meet
ing as failure and at the same time
attacked our union as being a Red
union, and also branded the organ
izer, Harry Reich, as a Communist.
Well to your surprise Uncle Joe,
we the workers certainly know what
union we belong to and who our
leaders are. Also we know that Joe
Till is the so-called efficiency man
dor the Bosses of the william Penn
Hotel.
Joe Till no more than eight years
ago was a waiter, cook, a kitchen
steward, and reached his present
position only through his stooling
around for the bosses and reporting
to them any unconscious mistake
done by the workers. On top of it
he showed how cleverly he can slash
wages of the workers, cut out their
meals, and made every man and wo-
man in the hotel do the work of
four or five.

NEW YORK-Ihe Knott Hotel Corp
holds periodical meetings of managers
and engineers, for the sole purpose OF
cutting down operating expenses. In
variably, these meetings lower the
standard of living of their numerous
employees who at no time earned
more than a meagre living.
The Knott Hotel Corp. is the largest
OF its kind in the United States. There
are about 40 hotels under it's manage
ment and they are known as the
Severest exploiters of workers.
David Knott, former sheriff of
New York County, and his brother
James, are the chief executives of the
corporation. OF the many Tammany
members of the Board of Directors
Alfred E. Smith, former Governor of
New York State, is the outstanding
one.
At a recent meeting of Knott Hotel
Corp: managers and engineers, two
men from the fingerprint bureau pro-
posed a scheme to eliminate undesir-
able workers from hotel employment
by finger printing. This finger-print
scheme is to be aimed primarily
against workers who at one time or
other were arrested and convicted for
