Two Negroes Meet
Death at Hands Of
WhiteLand-Owners
Alabama Lynching Is
oath Recorded This
Year in u. S.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Selma, Ala
bama, was the scene of another
lynching, the International Labor
Defense learned yesterday, while a
Negro tenant farmer was murdered
in Pennsylvania yesterday in quar-
rel with the white owner of the farm
he worked.
Joe Solde, of Selma, was lynched
Aug. 10. In spite of efforts of local
authorities to conceal this crime, the
information has come to the atten-
ton of the International Labor De-
tense office.
Solde was framed on a charge of
stealing COW, the real reason being
a determination by his white land
lord to drive him off a piece of land
he held under lease. -Four white
men, Archie Bryant, Walker Bryant,
Edward Meallin and Ace May, took
him into the woods and beat him to
death.
The lynching of Solde is the
twenty fourth reported this year.

'ington but it was turned into huge
protest of 1000 shoe workers against
the threat of Grover Whalen to
break their strike. Early in the
afternoon crowds of shoe workers
started streaming into the hall, hold
ing their shop signs aloft until not
an inch of space was available. The
scene resembled a great national
political convention.
In a stirring speech, Fred Bic
denkapp exposed the real motives
back of Whalen's threat. He told OF
Whalen's record as a clubber of the
unemployed and instigator of for
geries against the Soviet Union. Tae
thousands of workers inside and out
side the hall answered with Kisses
and boos when Whalen's name was
mentioned. Denying Whalen's charge
that the Sx,oe and Leather Workers
Union was made up only of Com
munists, he said "If all you workers
gathered here were Communists,
Grover Whalen would not be here
today"
Other speakers at the meeting
were l. Rosenberg, organizer of the
slipper WORKS. and Kramer, organi-
yer of the stitchdown workers. Frank
Costello, veteran fighter of the 1925
shoe workers struggles, emphasized
the necessity for keeping the ranks
solid. F. Papa was chairman of the
meeting.
A resolution was adopted protest
ing Whalen's strikebreaking activi
ties and was sent to Whalen and tt
Washington.
The National Shoe Workers AS
ISOLATION headed by Zimmerman ant
Hutchinson are assisting the shoe
bosses to recruit scabs to break th'
slipper workers strike. Along with
the New York State Employment
agency which is furnishing scabs
for the Novelty Slipper Co.
The Association inserted an ad il
the New York American for thu
same purpose. Shoe workers are
warned not to be misled by thest
scab agencies.

their hands from tippin' pints."
He went on further to tell about
the way he, together with a group
Of starving workers and farmers,
seized the grazing land of wealthy
landowner and settled one Of their
number on the land. The landowner
came to them and protested, saying
he had no place to Craze his cattle.
They told him he could Craze his
cattle on the land providing he paid
the new owner for the privilege.
But ne didn't want to glorify his
activities Of organizing eviction
fights. tits Just like they do up in
the Bronx. You get bunch to-
gether and give physical argument
to the sheriff"
When the questions took on a re-
ligicus turn, with workers asking
whether this or that priest is help
ing the workers, whether Communism
is against religion or whether Com
munism IS the highest form of re-
ligior, Grafton answered quite prac-
tically: I'm sorry, but I'm not an
authority on religion. All I know is
that II Professionals, Jews and Cath
olics go out on strike, you don't stop
to figure out their religion

Did Metcalfe run up against any
of the discrimination he has had to
face in his own country?
No. In Sweden he was a sensation,
Of course. None of those people ever
saw Negro. He ran them bowlegged
too.
What about professionalism in COL
leges?
'Thats mostly bunk" Spitz said,
There's a lot Of that in football
but track doesn't draw enough here.
If it did, thered be no telling. AS
it is, the contacts you make are the
only tangible benefits derived"
He is dissatisfied with present
criteria in rating competitors. Be
cause Johnny Morriss beat out Beard
by a foot he got this trip, although
Beard holds the worlds record and
is much the more consistent per-
former. That sort of stuff's no good"
High jumping doesn't require
great deal of practice and George
finds it interferes little with his other
interests. He has perfected COM
plicated style Of his own and now
he finds he jumps best after three
weeks rest. He has just finished
three year pre-med course at N.Y.U.
and starts studying dentistry in the
fall If he. hadn't gone on the tour
he would have worked as life guard
at the nearby beach.
The crisis doesn't seem to have
hit the Spitz family. Their tran
quillity is strange anachronism for
one who has observed other Amer
lean homes go to pieces. The father
is a powerfully built man. strikingly
native to his suburban surroundings.
He used to do #. IL in. himself
and was also a member of a worlds
championship team-the Whitestone
Fire Company which won the prize
for efficiency at the Exposition of
1908. George appears to be his sort.

1000 Strike in
Radio Plant
Metal Union Guides
Strike for More Pay

NEW YORK.-A thousand young
workers in several departments of
the Aerovox Corporation, one of the
biggest radio plants in Brooklyn en-
ploying 1900 workers, are out on
strike. Eighteen young girls of the
winding department of the Shop
started the walk-out last Wednesday
which now threatens, to involve the
entire plant.
Many came out on Thursday and
more workers are joining the strik-
ers' ranks daily as they see the
poppy fight these young workelN are
putting up for more pay.
With the help of the Metal Work
ers' Industrial Union, the young
strikers have gone right to the bust
ness Of getting their strike organ
lied. They have elected a strike
committee and have drawn up de-
rnands for minimum wage scale of
$18 week, $15 for the unskilled,
$22 for the solderers $40 for the new
solderers, a SO hour week, recogni-
ton of their shop committee and no
discrimination against any strikers,
The company's gangsters are
working hard to terrorize the strik-
ers and keep the other workers in
the plant from coming out. Police
are also on the job helping the boss
to break the strike. Mccarthy, a
young girl striker was arrested but
the unions attorney later obtained
her release. The picket line continues
daily, however.
Suggestions by the company that
the workers join the A. F. of L. were
scorned by the strikers. eve don't
want union that the bosses sug-
gest for us" they declared at strike
meetings.

Minor spoke of conditions in the

the present wave of lynchings and
murder was an indication of the
growing social unrest throughout

CaroIinas Seen
Casting Out Drys

CHARLOTTE. N. c., Nov. 7
QNSD. - Carolinas, traditional
dry strongholds, went to the polls
today to decide whether they shall
join 80 sister States in casting out
the noble experiment.
Repeal victories were forecast
by observers in both States.
North Carolina was expected to
produce safe wet majority of at
least $4,000, while South Carolina
was expected to support national
repeal 3 to 2.
Both States, leading the way in
the dry South, previously had
modified stringent bone-dry stat
utes to permit sale of beer and
North Carolinians sent young
dripping wet Bob Reynolds to the
Senate by a vote of 484.046 against
221,534 for dry Jake F.. Newell.
National repeal would bring
hard liquors to South Carolina
Immediately, one quart month
being allotted under the State law
to each adult. North Carolina,
however, with it's stringent Tur-
lington act, would not be affected.
This would mean that only two
States of the deep South. includ-
ing Louisiana where the State dry
act has been repealed, would
actually return to the wet column.
