JOB SHARKS TAKE
LAST PENNY FROM
THE UNEMPLOYED

NEW York; would like to draw
the attention Of the unemployed TO
the racket employment agencies on
Sixth Avenue. There are only few
agencies who hold to the lawful fee
of 10 per cent on the first months
wages. The Muller Agency on 9Th
Avenue wants 100 per cent. Reilly
Bros, SO per cent. Interstate, 50 per
cent. Biltmore, 80 per cent and so
on, and no job as rule by my ex-
perience.
The so-called free employment
agencies have no jobs because they
have no mailing list and no one
to hustle around and find jobs. If
those agencies could be prevented
from handling the city's work, there
would be a chance of some work in
the ads in the daily newspapers and
everyone would have a chance to look
for something. That is the only way
to take those men out Of the parks
and not make buns out Of them.
Bryant Park is a disgrace to any
city in the world. They sleep there
in the dirt and get up at all times
in the morning and make their toilet
at the drinking fountain. They are
living in filth and dirt just because
they have no money to buy job,
Another trick is the agency writes
to employers and offers men at lower
wages and have their present help
fired so they can get another fee.
Then again the party who is doing
the hiring often goes fifty fifty with
the agent. have been on Sixth Ave.
for the last IL months and know
every trick they have and all the
prices they ask for jobs.

Organize Our Meetings

July as, 1898
Editor, Daily Worker
Comrade:
The very poor attendance at the
Memorial meeting held yesterday at
the New Star Casino, under the aus
pices of the Party in honor Of Gussev
Zetkin and Stokes, should serve to
teach very much needed lesson. We
must learn that we must not depend
on spontaneous action on the part of
Party members and sympathizers, but
that all mass demonstrations must
be organized thoroughly or they are
doomed to failure.
The hall should have been packed
on this occasion when the memory
Of three departed Bolsheviks was
being honored and what is more,
when these represent the three most
important sections of the Comintern,
and especially now when the sharp
ening of the class struggle in this
country makes it imperative to utilize
just such occasions to stir up the
courage and the fighting spirit that
these three fallen comrades persona
fled in their lives.
Why did the masses fail to respond?
Because they were not modified
Notices In the Daily Worker are not
sufficient. To receive mass response,
more than an announcement is
needed. And I consider it my duty
to suggest a method which I believe
when properly applied will bring re-
suits. The district should announce
quotas of minimum representation
from party units, sections and all or
CARNATIONS close to the Party, when
ever mass mobilization is considered
necessary. The fractions in unions,
shops, clubs and other organizations
should be responsible for bringing out
the allotted quota. OF course there
will be no objection if more respond
than called for. If this system is
developed, it will be possible to plan
properly because fairly approximate

JUDGE PREVENTS
BAMNG OF NINE
.SCOTTSBORO BOYS
LID. Sees Attempt to
Railroad Boys in New
Trial Order

NEW YORK, July 27-In order
ing Haywood Patterson to a fourth
lynch-trial in October, Judge James
E. Horton is attempting to prevent
the release of the nine innocent
Scottsboro Negro boys on bail.
This was the charge made by the
I L. D. today when it revealed that
previous to Horizons Florida vaca-
ton General George w. Chamlee,
I. L. D. attorney in Chattanooga,
left with him the habeas corpus
writs demanding that bail be set,
with the understanding that he
would set a date for hearing.
Instead of setting a day for the
hearing to set bail, which under Ala
bama law he is forced to grant to the
boys following his decision that the
evidence dependencies in their favor,
Judge Horton is attempting to rail-
road the boys to new lynch trial.
Must Revive Protests
Pointing out that 1t was only mass
pressure which forced Horton to
grant Haywood Patterson new
trial, William l.. Patterson, national
secretary of the I. L. D. attributed
this renewed insistence to legally
lynch the Scottsboro boys to the
let-doWn in mass-pressure, brought
about by illusions as to the fairness"
Of Judge Horton, and as to the pos
sibility that the boys would be freed
automatically following his decision.
The demands raised by the 1. L. D.,
backed by a greater mass movement
than ever before attained, must be
that Horton Immediately set bail,
and that change of venue be
granted from Morgan equity, where
both Decatur and Athens, Ala, are
located, and where the boys are in
as great danger of lynching as in
Scottsboro where the original trials
were held.
Immediate Funds Needed
These demands, he said, must i'm
mediately be raised in a flood of
kilograms, from every I. L. D. dis
trict, section, and branch, from
every organization and individual
sympathetic to the cause of the
Scottsboro boys, to Judge James E.
Horton, Athens, Ala.
The new manoeuvers of the white
Southern landlord lynchers, led by
Attorney General Thomas E. Knight
and ex-senator Thomas Heflin, de-
mand the greatest activity on the
part of every individual, to save the
Scottsboro boys from lynching. At
the same time, the new trials, and
the bail if Judge Horton is forced
to set it, will impose tremendous new
demands for funds upon the I. l.. D.,
now drained by the huge expendi-
lures in connection with forcing the
lynch courts to set aside the verdict
against Haywood Patterson. Funds
should be rushed Immediately, he
said, to the national office, Room
1870, so East 18th Street, New York
City.

operative leadership. which is showing
itself in every part OF the country,
there are two other vital reasons for
the maintenance of the efforts OF the
churches and other governmental
groups.
The first Of these is that much as
we strive for the board principles OF
social justice, the actual application OF
these principles is Of necessity an indi-
vidual thing.-a thing which touches
individual lives and individual families.
No governmental organization in all
history has been able to keep the hu-
church and private effort. Government
can do many things better than private
associations or citizens, but in the last
analysis success In personal matters de-
pends on the personal contact between
neighbor and neighbor.
The other reason lies in the fact that
the people Of the United States still
recognize. and, believe, recognize with
firmer faith than ever before. that spir-
itual values count in the long run more
than material values. Those who have
sought by edict to eliminate the right
of mankind to believe in God and to
practice that belief, have, in every case,
discovered sooner or later that they are
tlltlng IN vain against an ulleIcuC, eS.
sential, undying quality, and, indeed, ne
cessity, Of the human race-a quality
and q necessity which in every century
have proved an essential to permanent
progress.
Clear thinking and earnest effort and
sincere faith will result In thorough
going support throughout the whole
Nation for efforts such as yours. The
spirit Of our people has not been
daunted It has come through the
trials Of these days unafraid. We have
yentured and we have won: we shall
