The Scottsboro Case

ANOTHER TRENCH where
General James Grow is being
bombarded is down in Alabama
where nine boys are being tried
on charges of attacking two
white girls.
This may turn out to be the
most important battle since the
bred Scott decision.
The magnitude of this case
lies in the fact that II has at
tracted not only national but in
ternational attention. Then too.
it threatens to upset the whole
legal tradition of the South In
fact, we do not think it amiss
to say that it is not so much the
boys on trial for the alleged of
Tense of rape upon two white
girls but the South is on trial
for its treatment of the Negroes
in civil and social matters.
The prosecution Is battling

tions of the South while the de-

things" The people in Alabama
are resisting all they can what
they call imposition" on the
part of the defense attorneys to
make Negroes citizens, Just as
the whites. But they forget that
they are living in new day.
No one ever dreamed ten years
ago, five years ago, two years
ago, or perhaps year ago that
the system of selection of jury
to the exclusion of Negroes
would ever be questioned and
most certainly not in open court.
No one in Huntsville thought
that a citizen of that commnn-
ity would be compelled in an
open court to acknowledge and
say that Negroes had as much
right to serve on the iuries as
the whites.

manual labor and that clerical

to Negroes through practice of
the Bureau.
Replying to a question as to
why Negroes are not used in
time keeping and other clerical
jobs in connection with labor
camps, Mr. Freming made the
stereotyped answer:
I'VE have tried to use Neg

shown themselves unable to
handle them" He did not know
just when such attempts had
