EDITORS NOTE: With this re-
view of the Dock Worker" the
Daily Worker is starting the pub
LEGATION, every week, Of reviews of
shop papers, especially those issued
in the concentration industries.
Neither the National Agitprop De-
parfment nor the Daily Worker re-
ceive copies of al the shop papers
now being Issued throughout the
country. Nor is there at present
any possibility OF knowing how
many are actually being published.
The Issuing OF a shop paper is
one Of the means by which the
Open Letter can be carried out as
far as our basic tasks OF ORIGINATING
activity around the shop, is con-
cerned. All units of the Party, and
all shop groups and Union CROPS
within the shops. should follow these
reviews carefully, as they will be
instructive to these groups In the
issuing of their own papers.

Too Few shop Papers
But first of all we must strongly
commend the comrades in Duluth fol
issuing the paper. Unfortunately il
must be admitted that in spite of tht
Open Letter, in spite of the efforts
of the Party to orientate its major
activities around the shops, especially
in the basic industries, the number Of
shop papers throughout the country
is not only disgracefully small, but
has actually retrogressed during the
past critical years of crisis. The COM

they have kept up the issuing of a
shop paper, especially in q concen-

Use Civil War Method

Aathor Of ITO Make Ny Bread"
Member Of Recent Tuscaloosa
Investigating Committee

A descendant of a Southern family
which helped make the laws of
Georgia and build up the economic
and political power of the Southern
upper class whites, recently became
a member of delegation which went
TO Tuscaloosa, Alabama, under the
auspices of the National Committee
for the Defense of Political Prisoners,
to investigate the peculiar workings
Of Southern Justice"
Three Negro boys had been taken
out on a lonely road and two of them
shot to death, the other wounded
They were under the protection of
the Sheriff of the county. We found
every evidence to show that the crime
against these boys, accused, but not
convicted Of murder, was done with
the knowledge and approval of those
higher up. Because, as Judge Foster
told us, People seemed to feel that
they didn't want another Scottsboro
case" The boys were shot at juno
ton Of three counties. The deputies
who had the boys in charge said a
band of masked men stopped them
and took the boys in order to kill
them. This manner OF getting rid of
prisoners who might bring Alabama
into the eyes of the world again
through another prolonged trial, is a
new method to us, but it was well
known to members of the XII Klux
Khan during Reconstruction. 1t seems
that Alabama is learning from those
who took the law into their own
hands Just after the Civil War.
Ku Kiux Diary
l have with me some excerpts from
a diary written by a member of the
Ku Klux Khan in Georgia. In copying
these excerpts I am frankly not giving
the point of view of the man who
wrote it, his justification for the
crimes committed. That point of view
belongs to a historical treatment of
the economic and political causes of
the Civil War and the fight which
Stevens. Sumner and Wade made in
the u. S. Congress for some economic
provision for the freed slaves.
The disrist, a member of the Ku
Klux Klan in 1875, writes as follows:
THE object OF the Ku Klux Khan was
this--the preservation of our women
4 and cur lives and the establishment
of law and order. Our plan was for
the Khan in our neighborhood to go
TO another section, where a Negro
was to be regulated whipped. When
q Negro was insulting, he was re-
ported to the Klan outside of the sec
ton he lived in, and that Khan
would go at night, take him and
whip him and scare him as badly
as possible. The white men who
lived near the Negro would plan
some way to prove an alibi. for
whenever Negro was whipped, he
would report to the troops. I'VE

the Negroes in the neighborhood

Meanwhile, the items of the Hitler

themselves in person to Nazi officials.
A raid of Storm Troops on the party

completely. Likewise, the building of
the "Volksblatt" in Dessau was wreck
ed. A cautious attempt of the world
famous "Berliner Tageblatt" to dis
cuss the trade union coordination"

Nazi labor co-ordinatOr, advising the
editor "in the future to be so good

Expel Socialist Officials.
The Socialist members of the Mum
ich city council on May 9th were
forcibly expelled by Nazis and taken
into protective custody" The Thur

banned the possible appointment of
Socialists as burgomasters or deputy
burgomasters. The Prussian ministry
of the interior has likewise decreed
that Socialists elected to local bodies
may not take their seats. DR.. Ernst
Eckstein, leader of the Socialist La
Dor Party, died on May 9Th soon af-
ter he had been taken into "protec-
tive custody" A warrant has been
issued for the arrest of Deputy Hol-
termann, former leader of the Reichs-
banner. Since it has been impossible
to discover his whereabouts, his wife
and child have been seized as hostages.

These are but a few details of a
