Birmingham Officials
Quiz About Reds"

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (By MaiD -
Two hundred and fifty new Negro
voters succeeded in registering from
one neighborhood in the city of Bir-
mingham during the last registration
for the coming city elections. It has
been reported that the Negro regis
tration throughout the city this year
is much larger than in any recent
years,
This is attributed by local Negro
residents to the militant fight the
International Labor Defense has
been making in the Scottsboro case.
In past years, local residents state,
mary Negroes have refused to face
The terror which always confronted
them in any attempt to register. In
the recent registration, though many
Negroes were permitted to register,
each one was asked two questions:
DO you know anything about the
Communist Party?" and Are you
member of the Communist Party?"
Many were told if they kept away
from those reds" they would be
treated right"

CIGAR MAKERS
OUT ON STRIKE
T.U.U.C. Gives Advice
On Demands

NEW YORK.-One hundred four
teen tobacco workers in the La Prim-
adora Cigar Company, 304 E. 54th
st. struck today against being forced
to pay 81 monthly dues to the racke-
teer officials Of the Cigar Makers In
ternational Union, who work hand in
hand with the boss Max Schwartz.
Disguised With Union
The workers, disguised and indig-
nant with the union grafters voted
to get rid of the union entirely and
fight for the following demands:
l. Open shop.
2. Recognition of committee of
four in the shop.
3. Continue our work without the
interference Of the union.
4. Freedom for those who want to
remain union members. The demands
were rejected by Schwartz.
Advice On Demands
The workers are urged to guard
against going back to the shop unor-
ganized, thereby enabling the boss to
put over any conditions he may want.
willie the WOIb6TS are COTT6CC III
throwing over the grafters and racke-
teers who live on their toll and who
work in the bosses interests, they
should return to work well organized
with union under their own lead
ersfip. The demand for freedom for
the individual worker TO join" the
corrupt A. F. Of l.. union will only
help to split the workers front and
make it easier for the bosses to at
tack the workers conditions. Only
organization, unity and militant
struggle will protect the workers.
Urge Contact With TWIN.
The tobacco workers should make
connections Immediately with the To-
bacco Workers Industrial Union, at
1913 Fifth Ave, which is under rank
and file leadership and fights in the
interests of the tobacco workers. 1t
is to this union that the tobacco
workers of Tampa belong You will

the ScOttsbOrO Case

On page 4 of today's issue Of the
Daily Worker will be found spe-
cial articles, features and draw
ings on the Scottsboro trial in De-
catur, Ala, the little Southern
town upon which the eyes of mil
lions of workers are now focused.
The Daily Worker was the first
paper in the United States to ex-
pose the hideous lynch frame-up
against the nine innocent Negro
boys and during the past two
years has carried on an unceas-
ing campaign In their behalf. The
Daily Worker has not only re-
fIeSted the international mass
movement organized by the Inter
national Labor Defense, but has,
as the central organ OF the Com
munist Party served as organizer
In modifying mass protest.
Now especially when the CAPT.
talist press is seeking to lull the
workers into a sense of false Sc
curity while the lynch prepare
tlons so on in Alabama, the need
is urgent for bringing the true
facts Of the case and the whole
system Of Negro oppression to the
workers and farmers of the United
States.

reputation of the rape" story, the
witness testified that she was at

r knife being held at her throat
during the entire time-while the
freight train travelled from Steven
son and Paint Rock.
With Judge Horton peering over
the prosecutors shoulder, Knight, for
the first time during the two years
of the case introduced in evidence the
"step-ins" worn by the Price woman,
which she claims the boys tore dur
ing the alleged struggle.
Coat Uniform
Under relentless cross-examination
by Leibowitz, Price declared that the
coat which she wore at the time of
the alleged rape was cleaned before
the first hearing, and she offered this
as an explanation" for the fact that
it showed no spots, tears, etc. This
point is especially significant in view
of the fact that the hearing was held
almost Immediately after the arrests
of the Negro boys, and the girls were
taken to Jail at the time they were
taken off the train.
A dramatic moment occurred at the
morning session when Attorney Leib-
owitz set up in the courtroom facing
the jury miniature freight train and
tracks, which the lawyer will use to
show the falsity Of the evidence"
upon which the prosecution hopes to
send the Negro boys to the electric
chair Later Victoria Price looked
upon the tiny train with suspicion,
and under questioning by Leibowitz,
refused to say whether the train bore
any resemblance to the one on which
she had ridden.
Afraid of Ruby
When the witness became upset I'M
der the lawyers cross-examination
and lost her temper, she sought to
avoid answering questions directly by
saying, that's some of Ruby's dope
that you have got there" referring
evidently to the reputation which
Ruby Bates made of the frame-up
testimony against the boys at the
Scottsboro trial.
Leibowitz questioned the witness
at length on types Of freight cars.
She said she was riding in a "gondola
car" an open car frequently used in
shipping coal, Stag and scrap iron.

VOLUNTARY RESIGNA-
TON" COVER FOR
MASS FIRING

NEW YORK, March 30.-The
phrase voluntary resignation" is the
rosy cover the New York Telephone
Company is using behind which it is
carrying on a ruthless campaign of
firing thousands of employees.
The profits and dividends Of the
company have climbed as the num-
Der of workers were reduced. One
hundred sixty-three thousand have
been fired III the last four years not
counting the recent mass lay-offs.
The dividends Of the company paid
at the end of 1882 amounted to 1855
million, SO million more than in 1929.
The huge profits were squeezed out
OF the workers. The lay-offs have
meant speedup, the remaining work
ers must do the work Of those fired.
