N. Y. Meet Protests
Lynching, Demands
Release Of Borich
Calls Workers to Fight
Terror Against Negro
and Foreign Born

NEW YORK.-Vigorou condemna-
ton Of the lynching and deportation
terror was voted at mass meeting
held recently under the joint auspices
of the Committee for the Protection
If the Foreign Born and the Inter
national Labor Defense. The meeting
unanimously adopted the following
resolution, demanding a halt to the
efforts Of U. S. immigration officials
to deport Frank Borich and Tom
Antonoff:
'The government of the United
States has seized Frank Borich, ma
tional secretary of the National Min
ers Union, for immediate deportation
to fascist Jugo-Slavia. This is an eff
fort of the Washington government
to break the miners strike in order
to be able more easily to lower the
standard Of living of the miners.
Tom Antonoff, militant Detroit
automobile worker, has been ordered
deported to fascist Bulgaria. This
means death sentence.
THE Committee for the Protection
of the Foreign Born and the Inter
national Labor Defense are mobiliz-
ing the workers, black and white
American and foreign-born. against
the deportation terror We declare
that deportation is used as a means
of terrorizing the whole working class
and of crippling their struggles by di-
viding the foreign-born from the ma
tive born workers in their efforts to
fight against starvation.
Lynch terror is increasing in the
United States. The Scottsboro case
and the murder of Tuscaloosa share
troopers, the brutal lynching of the
young Negro, George ArmWood, and
the hangman's moose given to Fuel
Lee, all are part of the Wall Street
plans to terrorize the Negroes and to
prevent the growing unity between
the white and black workers.
at is the definite policy of Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins to intensity the
Doal1 policy Of deporting as aliens all
militant workers, strikers and foreign
born members Of the Communist
Party.
I'VE call upon the workers to fight
this vicious strike breaking policy and
to fight the infamous Dies Bill, which
calls for the exclusion and expulsion
Of militant fcraign-born workers.
1--WE workers, American and for
eign-born, urge all locals Of the
American Federation Of Labor, all
independent unions and unions Of
the Trade Union Unity League, I'M
employed organizations, workers
clubs, liberal and fraterral organiza-
tons, to join with us in this fight
and to Immediately pass similar reso-
lutions, sending copies to the U. s.
Department of Labor and to the
press"

preme Court.

Spy System of City
Now in Full Force,
Worker Charges
by a Relief Worker

NEW YORK -"Relief Workers
Protest Hours" says the World-Tele-
gram of Oct. 80. What makes the
Telegram to solicitous of the workers
welfare at the present time? The
following quotation from the same
column will tell:
Tn statement circulated by a
group which Is endeayoring to or
ganize the relief workers, it is held
that the last minute jam ION relief
roils) Is due to the desire OF Tam
many to register as many as pos
sibIe in jobs before election. Those
circulating the statement complain
also Of the sIowness Of pay and the
spy system
What the Telegram is careful TO
omit Is the real wording of the state
ment circulated by the Relief Work
erS Committee, which reads:
Where is the well-advertised pro-
lection of the Blue Eagle-the N.R.A
for the City Work Bureau and
Home Relief workers Of New York
City.
In order that Tammany may
register 10000 work relief cases be-
fore election, we are forced to work
all hours. We must get in at $3.50
and in many instances work as late
as p. m. with only half hour for
lunch. Our two chief slave-drivers
MessrS. Hutchinson and Behrent
both Tammany henchmen, are I'M
firing In their efforts to register as
many as possible, with the result that
we are being driven to death. Why
cannot some Of the millions of un-
employed be hired for this work?
The spy system in the City Work
ers Bureau, as well as the Home Re-
lief is most efficient. There Is plenty
Of money for the hiring OF stool
pigeons who do little all day but
watch the workers. Not word Of
complaint is spoken but that some
stool carries the tale to a higher
UP. The method of transferring work
ers from one place to another i.
used for the purpose of stopping them
from becoming friendly with each
other, because they might be able tx
discuss their grievances and organ
ization."
The kilograms solicitousness is mo-
for the workers in the City Worl
Bureau It Is interested only in at.
lacking Tammany, in order to ge
support for the Fusion candidate
LaGuardia, whose agents are already
busy in the City Work Bureau a.
well as the Home Relief, making
promises to relief workers of bette,
jobs If they support Fusion. L;
Guardia, candidate of group o
bankers, opposes any raise in relic
appropriations.
It is no accident that the mos
important part of the Statement,
which reads in par: ITO better you

Crawford Is Denied
Protection AS Trial
Plans Are Finished
Only 3 Guards on Duty
AS Anti-Negro Spirit
Is Stirred

NEW YORK.-The International
Labor Defense yesterday learned
that only three guards were as
signed to the prison in which
George Crawford is confined. Will
liam l.. Patterson, national seere-
tary of the LID, at once wired a
vigorous protest to the Virginia
authorities denouncing the failure
to properly guard Crawford as
deliberate provocation to the lynch
gangs seeking his life.
Trial Soon
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 31.-George
Crawford, Negro worker framed for
the murder of two white women, will
go on trial early next month in the
London County Circuit Court, it was
indicated here today.
Because of the wide interest in the
case and the admission of Federal
Judge James A. Lowell of Boston that
Negro can not secure a fair trial
in the courts Of Virginia, extraor-
binary precautions are being taken
by the white ruling class to carry
through the proposed legal lynching
with the greatest care. 1t is even
possible that the original indictment
returned by an all-white jury may
be quashed, and Crawford brought
before another grand jury, with one
or two dependable" Negroes included
on the jury, to give an air of an 'im-
partial triap' and to meet the issue,
first raised by the International La
Dor Defense in the Fuel Lee and
Scottsboro cases, of the violation OF
the constitutional rights of Negro de-
PENDANTS and the Negro people by the
exclusion of Negroes from petit and
grand jurieS. Extradiction of Craw-
ford from Boston was originally de-
MED by Judge Lowell on the ground
that no Negroes were on the jury
that indicted him. Lowell was over
ruled by the Second Circuit Court of
Boston, which in turn was upheld by
the U. S. Supreme Court, which re-
jected an appeal to review the case.
The local lynch press is greatly ex-
cited over the possibility of Crawford
choosing the International Labor De-
tense to defend him, but is reassured
over the prospect that the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People may continue to
handle the case, in which event the
local press confidently assumes that
the NAACP. would refuse to accept
the profered aid OF the LID. The
press expresses the warmest praise
for the NA.A.CP. for withdrawing
from the Scottsboro case because of
the tactics Of the LID"
AS a result Of the militant tactics
Of the LID. in the Scottsboro case,
courts in various Southern States
have been forced to accord Negroes
representation on juries, although
taking care to select only reformist
elements and to bar militant Negro
workers.

thought of realizing how difficult It
is for the men to get car-fare. If
the mislaid file is not found it is
nothing unusual for men to waste
two TO four days of useless waiting
before they even get chance to see
the case worker. There is no ques-
ton that the powers at the top" of
the city government feel that the
system of red tape should be good
means of discouraging all except
those in an actual starving condi-
ton.

When approached and asked by the
miners strike committee members
who had made sucn a ruling, the
lieutenant replied, I'm running
this"
"Oh, no you're not" replied the
miners, this is a union meeting and
we're running our own affairs, not
the military"
Herbert Benjamin, national organ
izer Of the Unemployed Councils, who
was sentenced by military court to
serve one year in the penitentiary for
greeting the strikers, was removed to
the Santa Fe penitentiary Monday.
Robert Roberts, strike leader, and
George Kaplan, International Labor
Defense organizer, are already in the
penitentiary for strike activity.
In his testimony Comrade Benja-
min exposed the fascist nature Of the
military court, accusing the military
of trying to behead the miners
strike and the National Miners
Union. mot only employed workers,
but millions of unemployed as well,
will protest the high-handed sem
fencing OF working class leaders, Z"
Benjamin said. THE unemployed and
employed workers will take up the
cudgels for the striking Gallup
miners"
On Monday 40 more families we're
eyicted from company houses and
dumped into the roadway with all
of their belongings. These evictions
are last-minute effort to break the
morale of the strikers. Unless funds
are rushed at once to enable the re-
lief committee to purchase tents,
clothing and sufficient food supplies,
the miners in the remaining three
struck camps may be forced back to
work. Rush funds to the National
Miners Union Relief Committee, Box
2l6, Gallup, New Mexico. Send pro-
test letters and kilograms, demanding
the immediate and unconditional
pardon of Robert Roberts, George
Kaplan and Herbert Benjamin, to
Governor A. w. Hockenhull, Santa
Fe, New Mexico.

Closed Textile Mills

NEW YORK.-So widespread has
been the closing down of cotton mills
in the South because of lack Of any

in the Robbins Drydock Co., when
six union members of the A. F. OF

were fired for union activity.
The union misleaders have handed
the strike negotiations over to the
N. R. A. Board, STIMULATING only a
request for recognition of the A. F.

the unorganized men who walked out
in solidarity with the strikers and
the joint demand of all the men for
wage increases as well. The men
