you may do what you will with
Angelo HerndOn. You may indict
him. You may put him in Jail. But
there will come thousands of An
gelO Herndons. If you really want
to do anything about the case, you
must so out and indict the social
system. But this you will not do
for your role is to defend the sys-
tenn under which the toiling mas
ses are robbed and oppressed"
Flaming Indictment
In spite of this, ana other pos
sible omissions, the speech of Angelo
Herndon remains flaming indict-
ment of the rule of the white ruling
class oppressors, and a mighty call
to struggle against exploitation and
starvation.
These workers went up to the
county commissioners to show them
these particular facts Ferndon told
the court in describing the relief
demonstration which led to his ar
the demonstration essential
ITO divide the Negro and white
workers, they took the white work
ers inside of the room and left the
Negro workers outside This was in
order to continually play on the tune
of racial discrimination, to block the
fight that the Negro and the white
workers were carrying on-oa deter
mined fight to get relief They were
successful in getting the white work
ers inside of the commissioner room
and closing the door in the face of
the Negro workers. They said to
the white workers well, the County

realize the depression and all that
but we haven't got the money"
County Had Money.
1.-THE white workers knew the
county did have money but they
were using it for their own inter-
ests, and not for the interest of the
Negro workers or the white workers
either ways. They talked to the
white workers some considerable
time. When the white workers came
out, they had just about as much
results as the Negroes did--only a
lot of hot air bowed over them by
the commissioners. which didn't put
any shoes on their little babies feet

DETROIT, july 31-After confer
ring with General Johnson, admin
istrator of the recovery" act, the
majority of the automobile bosses
have drawn up a code that provides
for the open shop, a 48 hour week
whenever they feel it necessary, and
q scale of wages that permits them
70 lower rates below the present level.
The code says that in slack season
a 35-hour week can be installed, but
at any time desired the employers
can shove the hours up to 48. A
minimum wage ranging from 40 to
43 cents an hour is provided.
One of the automobile bosses, &C
cording to Business Week. Wall
Street magazine, said he would use
the code to keep the workers from

pies of the code up on every bulletin
board" he stated, Gin every depart
ment for workers to read so that
they might know that they did not
have to join any union in order to
work here, or anywhere else in the
industry"
The same magazine tells how the
automobile code was drawn up and
that the bosses do not consider it
changes in the least bit their policy
toward the workers, giving them an
independent hand as in the past to
do exactly as they have been doing.
However reluctant to formalizs
its beliefs, the automobile industry
finally decided it was politics and
patriotic TO come into the church,
if only to set a. good example So
representatives of the manufacturers
have been working on creed or code
which would satisfy the bishops in
Washington, yet maintain their ira
ditional independence.
THE scale finally turned in favor
OF code because it was argued that
one of the nations largest industries
could not and should not fail to CO.
operate with the government Once
that point carried, those who had OPP
posed any code at all insisted that if
there was to be one after all, it must
leave no doubt as to the industryS
position in favor of the open shop"
This idea of code was agreed to
by General johnson who made
special trip to Detroit to help the auto
exploiters draw UP their slave code.
The leaders of the automobile in
dustry, said General Johnson "are
