eyes. Exchamp began leading him
a dogs life right off the bat. He
was a constant target for the beebee
shot which bewildered him no end.
Leaving the ring with Exchamp at
his heels he Topped for the tripping
act and without fail. The Boys
thought the Ham was hiding his
time.
Ham was well set-up but slender
and his blonde halo made him the
ideal sucker He and his folks had
come from Minnesota and talked
with strong Swedish accent. Ham
spoke of a left yah and right to
the yaw. He got five dollars a day
and sent three and half home.
The fourth day he was there Elk
champ woke him with the most sus-
cessful hot foot of his career. He
attached three matches to the toes
with strings and lit them at once,
Ham jumped up and extinguished
them with his slippers. He walked
out to the porch and soaked his foot
in pail.
1t slowed him down in the ring,
too. He took several punches flat
footed and limped visibly. His nose
started bleeding at night and the
doctor spent half an hour trying to
stop it.
Next day all the Boys had their
cameras out. There seemed to be
no special reason for 1t, but 1t was
obvious that they had been tipped
off. One of the newsreels showed up
and they never come without
reason.
Ham climbed in and Exchamp car
ried him for a minute, then let loose
with hook that shook him to his
burned toes. I'm sure the boy was
out on his feet when the uppercut
came. The cameras ground and
snapped. We went to see the news
reels afterward and they had done
a marvellous job on it. Exchamp
looked like a million.
He dropped the championship fight
on a decision but he certainly looked
the part of the Killer Who Is Just
Boy At Heart that time in camp. All
the Boys were sorry to see him hit the
down grade. Rare thing these days,
Color.

s on Arrnavood Lynching; Enel Lee Death Verdict
TugbOatmen Eager
for Strike; Get No
Word from Maher
Reporter Interviews
Men in Harbof

NEW YORK. Sure, I'm in favor
of a strike. We work too damn long
and ought to get the $1,000, cut back. -
This was, but ohe-of the. many tugboat
workers expressing the same senti-
lent. when interviewed by the Daily
Worker reporter yesterday.
Members Of the Associated Marine
Workers, the men knew of the pend
ing strike only from what they read
in the press. William Maher, their
secretary, had given them no infor-
nation. He told the newspaper re-
porters to return later in the day,
when he would let them know the re-
suits of the executive committees
meeting.

A Waterman aboard one of the
with strike and that to his knowl-
edge most of the men were willing
but he said 81 don't know nothing
about it. I don't go to the union
Offices because they're always only
wanting to collect dues. We don't
get nothing from them. Many of the
men on the various tugs expressed The
same opinion of the officials of the
A.M.W.
OF 1890 workers only $500 are re-
ported working. They work ten hours
and longer. a day. The men want
the 9-hour day and return of the
wage-cut taken last year. Maher
stated that ne is only demanding the
8-hour day.
Workers aboard the railroad and
deep-sea tugs, are not involved but
many of them stated their sympathy
with the men of the Associated. One
engineer gave the Daily Worker re-
porter a leaf1et distributed by the
Rank and File Opposition Of the A.
M. w. and said "That's the real idea.
Even the men in my line ought to go
that way"
The Rank and File had distributed
a call for tugboatmen of all groups to
go out in one united action. AS the
Daily Worker goes to press, Maher
has issued no call to the men to
strike.

Coz. Richie Tries to
Evade Responsibility
DeniesAbbeal forLee
Ritchi e Sets Next
Friday for Legal
Lynching of Lee


NEW YORK. - David Levinson,
prominent attorney left this city
last night after consultation with
International Labor Defense leaders
to file writ Of habeas corpus de-
handing the removal of the Fuel
Lee case from the jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of Mary
land and Governor Richie.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. 20.-Gov-
ernor Albert G. Richie of Maryland
needing the call of the bloody gang
which two days ago lynched, hanged
and burned an innocent Negro worker
late yesterday gave the final order foy
the legal lynching of Fuel Lee, framed
two years ago on a murder charge
He set the date for hanging of Euel
Lee for next Friday, Oct. 81.
Yesterday the whole police force Of
Baltimore was modified, uniformed
gangsterS patroled the Negro neigh
borhoooS in platoons of and 6, anc
30 police loaded with weapons stooc
guard over the Union Trust Buildia1
where Ritchie had agreed to heal
demand for pardon for Lee, on the
sole grounds of his innocence.
In spite of the terrorization, three
public meetings were held in the
streets, one at City Hall Plaza with
800 present, and a delegation of II
headed by Bernard AIDES, Interna-
tiOt,oI TaIO,~ Dafay,eo ottar,,o,v ox,G
Hen~v Williams, Communist Party or
ganizer, elected to see the governor
They presented him with 10000 sig
natures to petition demanding life
and freedom for Fuel Lee, victim OF
barbaric ruling-clasS frame-up. He
refused to look at them.
Williams spoke, demanding that Lee
be pardoned When he asked ques-
tons about the lynching of George
Armwood at Princess Anne the day
before, Governor Richie, on whose
head rests the blood of ArInWood, told
him to confine himself to Fuel Lee
Williams showed that the two cases
were inseparable, but Richie refused
to answer any questions.
Then AIDES spoke, pointing out the
evidence of Fuel Lees innocence and
the maneuvers that the state went
through to insure his lynching, link
ing the case with that of the Scots
boro boys, who the same day were
being ordered to a new lynch trial
in Decatur.
Ritchie listened cynicaliy, without
comment.
wien the delegation had spoken,
he picked up a prepared statement,
showing clearly that he had never
had any intention except to make sure
not to rob the white ruling class and
its gallows of their prey.
His statement began with the de-
claration that Lee had confessed his
guilt.
The delegates stopped him, point
ing out this was lie.
Richie admitted it was. "But it
doesn't matter he said.
He went on to state that Lee had
been charged with other crimes.
ale was proved innocent, and even
the courts were forced to acquit MIN, -
the delegates said.
'That doesn't make any difference, -
Ritchie said. "It shows what kind Of
a person Lee was"
He came to the end of the state
ment, and colby announced that he
had set the date of Lees execution
for next Friday, Oct. 81.

Maryland Officials in
Whitewashing
Campaign

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 20-With
the cynical pretense that he had
been "powerless to act" Gov. Albert
c. Richie of Maryland, yesterday
attempted to evade responsibility for
the bestial lynching Of George Arm
wood, Negro. worker, in Princess
Anne, on the lynch-infested Eastern
Shore of Maryland, las wednesday
night.
In his statement, Ritchie pretends
that he was not responsible for Arm
wood being ketp in Princess Anne,
although even the capitalist press
reported that the governor had re-
fused to order his removal despite
the fact that runors that mob
was forming to lynch him had
gained statewide circulation" early
I, in the day. Armwood was lynched IT
hours after he had been returned to
the Princess Anne jail from Balti-
more where he had been taken sew
eral days ago. Richie reiterated his
statement of the day before that sole
responsibility for Arnwood's presence
in Princess Anne rests with States
Attorney John B. Robins and Judge
Robert F. Duer.
AS a direct result Of the mounting
thunder Of mass protest from work.
ers throughout the country, Ritchie
on Wednesday ordered the Baltimore
Chief of Police TO undertake an out
side investigation" of the lynch
orgy in Princess Anne. Three Bal
timore detectives sent to 'Investi-
gate" returned to Baltimore after
spending less than day at the scene
of the lynching.
In a formal opinion" on the
lynching, Attorney General William
P. Lane, Jr.. yesterday rushed to the
defense of Gov. Ritchie and of the
whole ruling class lynch-machinery
on the Eastern Shore. He declared:
"Gov. Richie had no authority
in the matter. As matter of fact,
under the Maryland law, neither
had the Judge nor the States
attorney"
Carrying one step further this
brazen attempt to whitewaSh the
guilty. officials and mob leaders.
Magistrate Edgar Jones, acting as
coroner, called jury yesterday and
showed the jurors the body Of the
murdered worker. He then adjourned
the session indefinitely.
John Richardson, white worker
Is lodged in the Baltimore CITY Jail,
on the charge that he gave George
Armwood ride following his ALLEGED
attack on an 81-year old white wo-
man. whose arm he was accused of
grabbing" Richardson is held as
an accessory latter the fact"

against the impending drive of the
bosses to lower wages and lengthen
hours in the industry, and for the
defense of the standards won in
recent strikes.
The conference will lay the
basis for the struggle of thousands
of other workers in the industry,
who were forced back to their
shops, by the MIRA. and the A. F..
of L. officials without any gains
and who work under the same mis-
cradle conditions.
Declaring its support of the Nee
die Trades Shop Conference and
its intention to mobilize all its af-
filiated organizations for the main
tenance of the conditions recently
won by the needle workers, the
Trade Union Unity Council de-
clared in statement today that

the statement declared. "The work.
ers in New York have been in the

cent living conditions. They have
not depended on the MIRA. but on
their own struggle. Today's confer
ence will lay the basis for greater

mand for a return bout.
When a week later the tabs
ran pictures of the principals
and their managers and the promoter
signing papers for the return bout all
the shipping clerks and all the Gus
toners heaved sigh of relief but
all the newspaper Boys looked at each
other and nodded significantly and
some Of them even knew what they
were nodding about.
One of the big newspaper Boys
owned a tiny piece of the Exchamp
and he didn't nod significantly but
sat down at his typewriter and wrote
that he was happy about the En-
champs securing the bout because
the lad had been real fighting
champion, always gave the fans a
run for their money, natural fight
er, you know, just 3 Boy at Heart.
There was real interest in the fight
and the promoters thought both
training camps ought to open well
in advance. Exchamp was established
at Billy Mitchell's which had all the
accessories and was not too far from
town. At the same time the big news
paper Boy broke with a platinum
haired lady with whom he was ac-
customed to hitting the high spots
and information about his share in
Exchamp leaked out to the other boys.
This made them wary. -Four or five
editors neglected to send men to cover
Billy Mitchells and publicity began to
lag The promoter wired both man
ayers to put some snap into their
routine. EXchamp, who was no
SLOUGH at gags, put on his thinking
cap.
rANARDS began seeping into edi-
" torial Offices relating how an IN
known who was hired to spar at Nit
chell's planning to cop sneak on
Exchamp. Editors knew you canardly
believe such tales but they weren't
taking any chances and some of them
sent Boys Logging it to the camp,
which was developing an air OF Sec
recy which made fine copy.
The unknown was a harmless look
ing boy who was pretty fast on his
feet but didn't seem to punch hard
enough to cop sneak on Baby Le.,
roy. The mountain air at Mitchells
was bracing and accommodations
were good and Boys are, known for
their weakness in respect to expense
accounts. Colorful stories were phoned
in and the editors apparently thought
it worthwhile to keep them there.
The first few days Exchamp tore
into the Unknown Ham so the more
astrte Of the Boys figured the runner
had gotten to the arrangements ears
and the Ham was being put in his
place.
Ezchamp was full of Color. To
supplement the spectacle of his ears
which had been punched into re-
sembling minor pumpkins and his
brows which projected to touch his
cheeks, he had developed all the man
nerisms Of his idols. Through the
wide, open smile which proved he
was just Boy at Heart he thrust
beebee shots which well nigh pene-
trated your skin. He had a manner
of tripping people without their
knowing just by whom they were
tripped. Even his opponents had to
be alert in their footwork to avoid
that edu1ated toe. When somebody
fell fer his gags, Exch2-1p laughed
his infectious laugh which would have
been likened to Victor McLaglen's,
only it was not SO subtle, "Eaw, haw,
haw." Exchamp would laugh "hee,
haw."
THE Ham had been picked off a
i farm about thirty miles away. He
had established bit of local rep,
but he was green as a columnist's
