500 STUDENTS
HEAR PATTERSON
AT SYMPOSIUM
Columbia U. Students
Send Scottsboro
Protests

NEW YORK.-Five hundred Ne
gro and white students assembled
at a symposium at McMillen Thea
tire, Columbia University, after hear
ing William L. Patterson, Executive
Secretary of the International Labor
Defense speak on the Scottsboro
case and the role of the LID, passed
a resolution to send protest tele-
grams to Governor Miller of Ala
banla and to President Roosevelt to
demand the immediate release of the
Scottsboro boys.
The symposium, on the theme of
(which Way Out for the Negro
Revolution or Legalism ?" was con-
Quoted by the World Problems Club
as part of their campaign to fight
the proved discrimination against
Negro students on the part of the
Columbia administration.
Patterson gave a brief account of
the revolutionary history of the Ne
gro people and showed concretely
how effective was mass protest in
the Scottsboro and other cases.
Patterson in the discussion period
effectively refuted the plea of Wibe-
can of the Elks to let the law take
its course.
Milton Howard spoke for the
Communist Party, giving an an
alysis of the position of the Ne
groes as an oppressed nationality
in America. He showed how cap
italism subjected the Negroes to
special exploitation to wiring SUI
per-profits from them.
He pointed out that the solution
to the problems of Negro and
white workers lay in the destruc-
tion of capitalism.
He also pointed out that the
Communist Party is the only Par
ty that fights for social equality
and all democratic rights for the
Negroes. As a first step in this
fight they struggle for self-de-
termination for the Black Belt.
Donald Henderson, Executive Sec
rotary of the Anti-War Committee
who was recently expelled from the
teaching staff of Columbia for radi-
cal activities pointed out that the
only way students and teachers could
solve their problems was through
revolutionary mass action.

Milk Drivers Discuss
Strike Officials
Try to Halt Them

NEW YORK Milk drivers Of Lo-
cal No. 584, Directing to being clas-
sified as statesmen in the MIRA
code drawn by the big distributors,
discussed strike call yesterday for
more wages and less hours.
Six hundred drivers fought heat
eddy from the floor of Beethoven
Hall for an immediate walkout,
while vice-President Hoffman tried
to explain why the workers should
remain contented. Final decision
was reserved for Sunday morning.
The local is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor and
they work 800 hours week for
$50 to $36. According to the pro-
posed code they would have to work
more hours for the same money.

For the past three months I have
been an inmate of a tuberculosis hos
pital controlled by the Tammany adj
ministration OF New York, and, as a
veteran and a worker, feel it my
duty to expose the racketeering, dis
elimination and grating practiced
by the hospital authorities on the
workers who are i'll because Of the
privations and starvation.
At this hospital where was con-

Instead OF gaining weight. all in
mates lost weight, and the disease,
thus helped, makes rapid progress

The workers protested against such
treatment vehemently. The practice
is for the nurses to skim the milk
for themselves and use the fruit in
tended for us. Upon complaining to
the Tammany appointee, the superin-
tendent, we were told he could do
nothing for us. I, as a class-con-
scious worker, led the other workers

GREATER DANGER
THREATENS BOYS
AFTER LYNCHIINGS
Great Protest Action
Necessary; Raise
Defense Funds

Dan Pippen, Elmo-e Clark and A.
T. Harden, young Negro BITS, are
lying dead today in Alabama twenty
five bullets in their bodies. Three
young Negro boys murdered because
they were poor ana because they were
black. On the white pillared veran-
dahS sit the plantation owners sip
ping their mint juleps and laughing,
ct will teach these damn Niggers a
lesson. This is still white mans
country" Three young Negro boys
dead, murdered and not SO far away
from there in an Alabama jail the
nine Scottsboro boys are wondering
what fate is awaiting them at the
hands of the same Southern ruling
class.
Only immediate mass action will
save the Scottsboro boys, in greater
danger now than ever before. That
action must be undertaken from this
very day by every worker, Negro and
white, every synpathizer, Of what
ever color, race, or political affilia-
ton, and must be effectively carried
through on the basis of concrete
steps.
That was the call made today by
the International Labor Defense, as
preparations we're made for devel-
opment of the greatest mass cam
paign ever developed in the United
States around the protest against
the lynching Of three Negro youths
in Tuscaloosa, Sunday, and the de-
mand for death to the lynchers.
The LID. called for immediate
mass meetings parades, and demon
STATIONS, in every city, raising its
demands and coupling them with the
demand for immediate, unconditional
release of the Scottsboro boys.
The LID called for immediate
sending of protests, wires. letters
resolutions, to Governor Miller and
to President Roosevelt, making these
demands; and to Judge Foster and
Sheriff Shamblin, of Tuscaloosa,
holding them responsible for the
lives and safety of the two prison
ers remaining in their custody, and
demanding their immediate, safe re-
lease.
To carry on this work, money must
be rushed Immediately, in pennies,
nickels, quarters, dimes, and dollars,
to the International Labor Defense,
Room 430, so East 18th Street.

I cSS, Talk 10 a group OF 1,UOU IdEm-
ers who plan to visit him at the.
Capitol. Lehman has repeatedly
expressed his support of the State
Milk Board. whose policies have
caused the farmers so much SUI
fering.
ALBANY, Aug. 14.-Of the two
leading groups in the New York
milk strike, one group led by Albert
Woodhead, ex-detective from Roch-
ester, has openly betrayed the strike,
and the other group, led by Stanley
Piseck, has been tricled by Governor
Lehman into calling Temporary
truce.
Despite these actions, however,
many sections Of the farmers are
still Withholding their milk from the
market. These farmers, particular
ly those with smaller farms, have
been taught by their experiences
with the Legislature, the State Milk
Board and with Governor Lehman,
that the Temporary arbitration
proceedings of Piseck, however well
meant, will only strengthen the big
companies and disorganize the farm
ers' struggle against them.
Woodhead Depends on Milk Board
Woodhead sent telegram to Leh-
man telling him that he had called
off the strike, denouncing the truce
which Piseck had declared. Wood
heads betrayal had been signalled
almost week ago when he began to
urge the farm pickets to stop their
road picketing and violence" Wood
head was dropped from the Roches-
ter police force because of his i'm
plication in shady case of arson
involving insurance payments. He
has led the farmers in strikes both
for and against the State Milk
Board, always calling the strikes off
at the crucial moment.
In his statement calling off the
strike, he declared that he was will
ing to place the case Of the striking
farmers in the hands of the Milk
Board, the very group that is re-
sponsible for the farmers present
sufferings.
Lehman Coached by Roosevelt
Piseck seems to have been tricked
by the promises of Lehman for a
hearing of the farmers demands II
the strike was called off. Lehman
made this promise after confer
ence with Roosevelt.
Piseck, however, has refused to
promise that he will not call an
other strike if the demands are not
heard soon.
City Workers Sympathetic
The strike created the most wide
spread sympathy among the workers
and small business men of the near
by cities and towns. The picketing
of the farmers was notable for its
heroic reply to the attacks of the
State Troopers and police who as.
saulted the pickets with clubs and
tear gas bombs.
The farmers are getting four cents
and less for milk which the big milk
monopolies, Borden and Sheffield,
controlled by Wall Street banks, sell
in the cities for 10 and IA cents.

Additional appropriations pro
vided for the Federal Trade Com
mission under the new Securities
Law will not mean any additions
to the staff.
On the contrary, there will be
dismissals Of employees as of July
/, and the only question involved
Is how many will be let 60.
The commission suffered a cut
of approximately 35 per cent in
its appropriations for the coming
fiscal year, and it was felt at
first that a cut of approximately
40 per cent in personnel might
be necessary. There are now 412
employees on the rolls.
Likelihood that staff reductions
might run as high as 20 per
cent, even with the relief afforded
by the new appropriations. was
seen at the commission today.
The present personnel, it is
believed, offers ample expert
talent for handling the problems
offered by the Securities Law,
and it is not expected that any
specialists will be added to the
staff for that purpose.

JOB FURLOUGHS
ELIMINATED

Payless furloughs for a number
Of employees Of the highway de-

the action of the Commissioners
in abolishing eight positions
which are now vacant in the office
Of the engineer of streets.
The abolition of the eight jobs,
made upon recommendation Of
Major Daniel j. Donovan, chair
man of the District personnel
board, will release $17,120 for the
payment of salaries. Had the
jobs not been abolished, this
money would have been impounded
until released by executive order.
Six of the positions abolished
were rendered vacant by retire.
ments, one by resignation and one
by death.
In recommending the change,
Major Donovan explained that
where a position is vacant the
salary attached to it must be i'm
pounded and cannot be used for
other payroll purposes. But, by
abolishing the jobs before the be-
ginning of the new fiscal year
July /, the money will be available
to meet other salaries.

the three largest and leading
nations of the conference-namely
Great Britain, France and the
United States of America.
They recognize the power of
each, and the controlling power
of the combination Of the three.
But meanwhile, the big three
have only been shadow boxing.
Everyone wants the other fellow
to do the leading. Not with what
he needs or wants, but with what
he will give or concede. And
that's just where the show comes
to an impasse and the buck
