BirminghamRed Cross
Seeks to Trap Negroes
for Miss. Slave Farms

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 49,
How the Red Cross in this city uses
the misery of the starving unen-
ployed to recruit peon labor for
white planters was revealed when a
jobless Negro worker turned in des-
peration to the Unemployed Council.
Within the past week, six families
in one neighborhood have been cut
of the Red Cross relief list because
they refused to go to Mississippi
plantations to become virtual slaves
for white planters there. The Red
Cross officials painted the prospects
in glowing colors, telling one Negro
worker that he and his family would
be able to clear $500 by Christmas if
they would pack up and go to Mis-
sissippi. Anyone who knows the
conditions Of the Negro troopers
and farm laborers in the South to-
day knows that this cen be only a
downright lie. What this family ia
likely to clear, if it goes to the
Mississippi plantation, is $500 worth
of debts, which win effectively chain
it to the land for years to come.
When the six families, seeming
the liz, refused to leave the city,
the Red Cross officials stopped paint
ing pretty word-pictures of ideal
conditions on the plantation, and
told these workers bluntly that they
would receive no more relief.

Putting Workers out OF Jobs
The workers and small farmers on
the outside Of the iails suffer in
tensely from this enforced COMPETE
ton with prison labor Last year,
Alabama's cotton mills at Kilby and
Speigner prisons, spun l6,736,046
yards OF chambray, and the prison
shirt factory produced $500 shirts
weekly. The cotton for all this work
was raised on the prison farm.
Alabama officials pretend to weep
bitter tears over the lot Of the pris-
orersl vino would sit in enforced
idleness day after day, year after
year" Whoever has suffered the hell
Of the Alabama jails, knows that
damnable hypocrisy, this Is. Only
few days ago. Warden Sims Of the
Birmingham City Jail excused the
filth Of the cells by saying: Anyone
who is unlucky enough to get caught
by the police deserves to catch dis
eases. This is no damn reformatory.
We haven't time to fool around with
such nonsense. The jail is run for
the profit OF the state, and those who
get caught by the law are worked as
long and as hard as possible" SO
much for the crocodile tears Of the
contractors.
A Half Hearted Measure
The Hawes-C Cooper act is Itself a
half-hearted and shamefaced meas
ure. The provisions of the bill show
clearly that it is brought forward not
on behalf Of prison labor, or the
workers and farmers outside, but on
behalf of certain employers who fear
prison contractors competition. The
act does not forbid sweatsd prison
labor in competition with workers
outside. 1t does not even bar con-
Wct-made goods in interstate com
merce. It merely permits states TO
ban convicC-nade goods. or to require
That they be labeled or branded as
prison-nade. That is, wherever the
employers and manufacturers feel
the effects of prison competition in
their own purses, they may get THEN
legislatures to bar the products OF
prison labor.
But even this small threat to its
/ prison-made profits has thrown fear
into the Alabama officials and the
Alabama n-centractors-and the
firms in the North, South, East and
West who buy at cheap price these
conyict-made goods. To fight against
this threat, the Alabama rulers have
put on the job, Attorney General

Scottsboro Boys Tell Lawyer for LID. Facts of
Eight" in Cell of Birmingham Jail

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. May 19.-The
vicious prison conditions and pro-
vocatiye tactics of Jail officials in
Birmingham County Jail, which re-
suited in friction between the Scots
boro boys confined there, driven to
hysteria by the mistreatment ac-
corded them we're revealed here
when Attorney Benjamin j. Davis,
Jr.. Negro attorney of Atlanta and
one of the International Labor De-
tense counsel in the Herndon case,
visited the boys there.
The story of the flight" between
Haywood Patterson and Roy Wright,
greatly exaggerated in reports sent
out by the warden last week, was told
to Attorney Davis by the boys them
selves.
"Our tempers got the best Of us
for just a minute" the boys told
Davis.
I'VE Get Awful Nervous
1--WE were talking and kidding
about girls we used to know before
we were arrested" Patterson said.
I'VE haven't got anything to read
and not much to talk about, cooped
up like this for more than two years.
Before either of us knew what it was
all about, Roy hit me with the knife.
It didn't amount to nothing. 1t was
an accident"
The knife was slipped into the Jail
cell where the boys are confined by
guards, with the hope that, with the
nervousness induced by loneliness
and confinement, it might help to
frame the boys, Davis said he was
convinced. None of the boys could
tell exactly where it came from.
Things like that might happen
any time, between no matter how
good friends. when they are held in
Jail so long on frame-up charges"
both Patterson and Roy Wright told
Davis. I'VE get awful nervous and
irritable in here sometimes"
1.-THE terrific strain of the frame
up ordeal has had that effect upon
the boys" Davis said, but in spite
of that they are in excellent spirits
in regard to their case.
= 81 studied their faces carefully
Their chins are up, their eyes bright
with confidence, defiance, vigor
without doubt this has been instilled
into them by the world Of sympathy
with their cause aroused by the
LID. They are militant and un-
afraid.

SOUTHERN WHITE GIRL TELLS HOW NEGROES DEFENDED HER FROM COP
Jme By Bnmhan Nee

The next morning they took me
back to the police station and began
to question me. I refused to give them
more than my name and age. When
they tried to fingerprint me, I re-
sisted, but they fingerprinted me
anyway. They photographed and
weighed me in the same manner
Then I was exhibited to about rs
plainclothesmen and cops. All the
time this was going on they were
reviling and haunting me with the
same insulting remarks
Here in this so-called "chiyalrolrs"
South--where the white men are sup
posed to protect" the Southern white
womanhood--the cops instead Of
protecting me-were maltreating and
cursing me in the vilest possible
language, And here too it was the
Negro workers who heroically de-
Tended me from the brutal attacks
