NOn-EXBtent Jobs
Offered to Women
By Mrs. Roosevelt
Tells Unemployed to
Become "Hostesses
on Air Lines"

WASHINGTON, D. c., June s.
Mrs. Roosevelt, wife Of the president,
in her weekly press conferences, has
just issued consolation" TO the un-
employed women that many opportu-
mites for jobs face them in the tut
ure. She offers advice to unemployed
women to take non-existent jobs such
as hosteSses on air lines, outdoor work
planting trees, etc,
The consolation is given under the
news headline Depression Aids job
less Women"
BY this she hopes to lessen the bit
terness Of the thousands of young
higAsehool and college graduates who
will go out TO seek jobs and will soon
find themselves in the jobless army.
But some kind of cheap demagogy
must be given the masses to turn
their minds away from demands for
Unemployment Insurance and Mrs.
Roosevelt as the wife of an arch de-
magogue is fulfilling her function
well.
1t must be remembered that Mrs
Roosevelt has promoted many plans
for attacks on the working class
which the Roosevelt administration
is putting over, the most recent being
the forced labor camps for unemploy-
ed women to cut down unemployed
relief and divert attention from the
struggle for jobless insurance.

the Scottsboro boys. The Interna-
tional Labor Defense desires the full
cooperation of the membership Of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People in this
united front. But this united front
must be built up in such a way as to
further the development of the de-
Tense. 1t must not be allowed in any
way to hamper or retard such de-
Tense activities as have proven in
actual struggle their correctness.
Such an agreement as has heretofore
existed between us does not lend us
strength in this direction.
Insist Funds Be Turned Over.
"All organizations sincerely desir-
ing to advance the defense of the
Scottsboro boys must see the logic Of
our position. We must therefors in
sist that all funds collected by these
organizations be Internationally
turned over to the International
Labor Defense which will give a strict
accounting through certified account
ants of its expenditures. Accordingly
we must ask that you Immediately
transfer to the International Labor
Defense such funds rs are now held
by you and that unless you are ready
to accept these terms, you desist from
the collection of funds for the Scots
boro defense, in the future.
Very truly yours, William L. Pat
terson, National Secretary, Interna-
tional Labor Defense

SIX WORKERS TO
BE TRIED TODAY

NEW YORK. Robert D. Smith,
Negro worker, Leon Taback, Jacob
Stock, John Russo, Hanna Jasper
Ada Fishman, will go on trial this
morning for their working class
struggles.
Smith, who was arrested at an
open air meeting in Harlem, will be
tried on felonious assault in Gen.
eral Sessions, Part 8, Franklin and
Centre Streets, before Judge Rosal-
sky. Bail on Smith is fixed at $500,
the bosses apparently trying to make
him an example so as to intimidate
Negro workers against attending re-
volutionary mass meetings.
The cases of the others, arising
from demonstrations at Home Relief
Bureaus, will come up in Brooklyn
court at Smith and Schermerhorn
Streets, with the exception of that
OF Leon Taback, who will be tried in
the Bronx court in the Bergen build
ing.
The N. Y. District LID. which
will defend these workers again en-
phasizes that mass defense, rather
than legal defense, must be relied
upon for tearing class-war prisoners
out of the clutches of the boss-class.

Nitgedaiget Month
Has Lively Program

BEACON, N. Y.-Clarenee Hatha-
way, N. Y. District Organizer of the
Communist Party opened Communist
Party Month at Camp Nitgedaiget
with lecture on the role of the So
eialiSt Party and that of the Com
munist Party.
The special program arranged for

Party month will include, a moonlight

to restrict production and keep
price levels high. The licens-
ing provisions empowered the
president to withhold license TO in
dustries which failed to carry out the
agreement of its trade association.
The committee also voted the pres
ident the power to declare an en-
barge on all imports and rejected the
administration plan to control the
oil industry. The committees action
followed as a result of the pressure
from the big industriahsts.
The National Recovery Act is
scheduled TO come up in the Senate
for action this week, having already
passed the House.
The action of the Senate Finance
committee exposes again the insbil-
ity of the capitalists to carry out any
program for economic planning, be-
cause of the competitive nature Of
the capitalist system.
While the penalties for violation
of the industry bill are 50 small that
they would fail to carry out the pur-
pose of compelling industries to get
into line, at the same time the cap
itahsts do not even wish to recognize
the principle of government control
by permitting licensing powers to the
government or the regulation Of the
oil industry.
The recommendation for the i'm
ports embargo indicates that rivalrieS
with foreign competitors will be in
tensiied by the bill The embargo
will allow for immediate action to
check the flood of competing foreign
goods which will result with the
pushing up of the industry control
measure.
The National Manufacturers As
ISOLATION has declared its opposition
to the labor sections of the bill OPP
posing any legal restrictions inter
fering in their relations with labor.
Even before the adoption of the
measure General Hugh Johnson who
took charge of the selective draft
during the world war is already or
ganizing the trade associations to
prepare codes. j. Leonard Replogle,
a New York banker and head of a
steel firm has been proposed as fed
eral steel coordinator. The latter
was associated with johnson in the
War Labor Industries Board as di-
rector Of steel supplies, during the
world war

Violated
SCOttSbOro Fund
Terms, Says LID.
Calls Upon N.A.A.C.p. to Transfer At Once
All Sums Raised for Defense of Boys

NEW YORK-Reiterati that the
mass action raised through the In
ternational Labor Defense alone has
succeeded in gaining the many par
tial victories which have saved the
Scottsboro Boys from being electro
cuted through legal lynching, Will
liam L. Patterson, national secretary
OF the 1. L. D., called upon the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
lnent Of Coloyed People to transfer
Immediately to the I. L. D. such funds
as are now held" by them, that we're
collected for the Scottsboro defense.
The demand was made in a letter
to Walter White, national secretary
OF the N.A.A.C.P.. and charges that
the violation by that organization Of
an agreement that it would turn over
such funds to meet legal expenses in
Cured by the l. L. D. in conducting
the defense Of the Scottsboro case
created a barrier to the development
of the I. L. D. defense activities.
Patterson's letter to White says in
part:
I'VE are firmly convinced that it
was that mass influence, wh.c.l penet-
rated deeply into the ranks of the
membership of your own organization,
which forced you to offer proposal
to raise funds for the Scottsboro de-
Tense,
Haggled on Bills
You have proposed that such
funds as were raised by you should
be turned over to us upon presenta-
ton of bills exclusively of a legal
character The tremendous drain of
defense activities forced US at the
time to accept this proposal. We
believed then, however, that it ex-
pressed willingness on your part to
meet legal obligations already in
CURED by us which were yet I'M
paid. We presented such bills to you
(Brodskys statement, Schwah's state
ment and bill of expenses for Cham
lees Birmingham trip and with the
exception of the latter you categoric-
ally refused to meet such financial
obligations as had been incurred by
us before the date of this agreement.
With reference to Chamleo'S fee you
advanced $50 and stated that in your
opinion the $3.50 demanded by him
was excessive. Such an attitude Sc
riously handicapped us in meeting
the financial burdens of our defense
campaign. 1t should be clear that
such an Interpretation of the agree
ment must be unacceptable to the
international Labor Defense.
Your attitude in this respect is
merely continuation of the policy
you have pursued during the past
two years in hindering any effective
action leading to the freedom of the
Scottsboro boys.
THE International Labor Defense
recognizes as clearly as ever before
the necessity of developing a united
front Of struggle for the defense of

Samuel Goldberg of the Interna-

is the most effective methed Of corn

Second prize went to the Red

All groups must be commended for
their painstaking work In using the
art OF the dance to express working

noted that there is still too much re-
