CRAWFORD GETS
new STAY FROM
CIRCUIT COURT

BOSTON, Mass, July IL
Extradition of George Craw-
ford, Negro worker, to Vir-
ginia, to face framed charges
of murder, was stayed today
pending review of case by the U. S.
Supreme Court, by Judge George II.
Bingham of the u S Circuit Coutt of
Appeals. Crawford had been sched-
uled to be removed to Virginia today,
One of the chief factors instru-
mental in obtaining this stay was the
storm of mass protest all over the
country organized by the Information
al Labor Defense. The leaders of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, appealing the
case in a strictly legalistic manner,
indirectly expressed their willingness
not to argue the question of his guilt
or innocence so long as they could
force the presence of Negro OH the
panel from which the jury was
drawn.
The tremendous pressure organized
by the l. l.. D. around the issue of
Negro exclusion from jurieS in the
Scottsboro case was directly respon-
sible for previous stay of extradition
granted by federal judge on the
ground that any conviction in Vir-
ginia would be illegal because of this
exclusion.

putting the real question forward OF
more relief and unemployment in

of this military display of force and

A leGter ADDRESSED Dy CuNetHOl
Lehman to the Board of Estimate
announced that he would call spe-
cial session of the Legislature on the
New York financial situation. The
governor emphasized that the state
will pursue the same policy as the
city government in refusing to take
responsibility to assure relief to the
unemployed.
Proposes Sales Tax.
Lehman proposes a sales tax, but
writes that the state will not pass
such tax, but grant this right to the
city. The letter states:
Because of the apparent neces-
sity, and the limited powers of the
city, I shall call an extraordinary
session of the Legislature. 1t is my
intention, however, to recommend to
the Legislature that instead of levy
ing special state wide taxes, it grant
to the City of New York authority
to levy additional taxes approved by
the Legislature"
Wide indignation to sales tax has
brought this political maneuver of
the governor to shift responsibility.
Mayor O'Brien and city officials who
have numerous times found them
selves flooded by opposition to any
sales tax are trying to find new ways
of taxing the workers.
O'Brien refused to comment on the
present relief situation in the city.
Pressed for an opinion on Lehman's S
letter, he shouted, Il will not make
statement on Governor Lehman's
statement. I mean what I say
At City Hall indications are that
the mayor and Board of Estimate
intend to use the present situation
to raise subway fare to seven cents.
The mayor stated last week to a
workers committee headed by Robert
Minor that fare will not be increased.
The promise by Acting Comptroller
Frank j. Prial to pay the unemployed
on work relief has SO far affected less
than half of the $4,000 employees.
The excuse is used that all depart
ments have not yet submitted their
vouchers, though pay is lacking over
a week.

Signs OF Break in Ubturn Admitted by Bosses

What has become Of the inflated
W prosperity propaganda why
aren't there more statements from
Bill Green telling of increased en-
ployment?
The fact is there is already halt,
with signs of still greater downward
breaks in production. Instead of en-
ployment growing the number of job
less are growing in many industries.
The Journal of Commerce Index
last week showed a decline. The in
dex which a week before was at 68.8
dropped to SIT.
But that is not all, symptoms in all
basic industries - especially steel -
forecast greater unemployment for
the workers and an intensification of
the crisis.
Construction Goes Down
In spite of the Roosevelt so-called
program of public works, the amount
Of building done during June this year
dropped below last year. The F. w.
Dodge Corporation reported that in
June, 1888, building construction to-
tailed $l03,000,000. Last year it was
$113, 100000.
THE conditions in the steel industry
are of paramount Importance, in
view OF the new slave code that has
just been presented to President
Roosevelt
Specializing on the price rises, steel
production went up to the high point
Of SO per cent OF capacity. But now
overproduction is being reached
There is more steel produced than
can be sold. The latest information
from the steel districts shows that
will not go on very long
at this rate. Instead Of receiving
wage increases, steel workers will be
fired.
Proof Of this Is contained In the
latest telegraphic dispatch from Pitts

Greater Unemployment Looms for Steel and
Other Workers AS Stocks Pile Up
Without An Outlet for Them

burgh to the New York Evening Post
Here are some excerpts:
Much more steel is going into
stocks. Such stocks will not neces-
sarily be liquidated, but the process
of adding to them cannot continue
indefinitely
This is pretty clear and throws a
lot of light on the steel slave code.
WHEREAS Roosevelt, Bill Green,
w General johnson and Norman
Thomas told the workers that the end
OF the crisis is in sight, the reports
from the steel industry show that
the upturn in the steel industry this
year has less foundation than in 1890.
After the 1880 rise, steel production
siumped heavily and hundreds N
thousands we're unemployed.
The same telegram from Pittsburgh
to the Post, says:
1T remain obvious that the coun-
try, going as 1t is, is consuming
much less steel than is being made.
At a So per cent rate production Is
at 40.000,0 900 tons year, fully equal
to 1880 and only 13 per cent under
the average for the seven years
through 1929.

Kotecki. city controller for 81 years,
