Of State Department policy. Failure
to place enough American machine
guns in the field in time may result
in Chinese and South American
workers and farmers being exploited
by the Stanley Baldwins, winston
Churchills and Lords Beaverbrook
and Rothemers instead of the
Charlie Schwabs, Newton Bakers,
Hearsts and McCormicks.
From the standpoint of labor, the
failure to place American and British
machine guns in the field will mean
that fellow worker will not kill
fellow worker to get markets for
British or American capitalists.
THIS week American Imperialism
4 took great step in preparation
for entering the theatre for war. To
the mass of workers it was served up
as the report of the Inter-Depart-
mental communications Committee,
"a study of communications an
interesting study of the necessity for
a more definite National policy as
to regulations, supervised by a COM
mission or by Federal departmental
unit" To the insiders it meant that
imperialist trade rivalries daily were
becoming more intense and that all
communications, radio, wireless, cable
and telephone, are to be put on a
potential war footing.
"The War and Navy Departments, +"
said Secretary of Commerce Roper,
Chairman Of the Communications
Committee, a few hours after Presi-
dent Roosevelt had announced that
the Committee had completed it's re-
port, presented a great deal of data
and made certain specifications"
International Telephone g. Tele-
graph, Western Union and the Radio
Corporation of America, under the
stress of the crisis, moved closer to
the government apparatus. That, in
itself, is not new or startling. The
NR.A. was formed by and at the
behest of the monopolies. In fact,
since the inception of the Roosevelt
mechanism they have taken such
giant steps forward, that they have
arrived at the point where they send
up trial balloons such as the Swope
plan for the assimilation OF the N.
r. A. into their trade association
structure, in short for the open fas-
cisation Of industry.
The Importance of communications
for carrying on war, however, does
make the recent announcement I'M
portant, vitality important to those
who will be asked and ordered to
load munitions and to those who will
be drafted to shoot down their fellow
workers.
The screen for the war maneuvre
is the strong probability that in the
domestic field the communications
monopolies will be regulated" by the
government. That means by them
selves. Certainly. Remember the
MIRA?

L Share-Croppers
Fined by Alabama
Court in Frame-Up
Stool Pigeon Caught
in Lies on Charge
of Murder Intent

LAFAYETTE, Ala, Dec. 10
Twelve Chambers County Negro
sharecroppers framed on charges Of
assault with intent to murder, were
fined $500 each by Judge Bowling in
court here today.
The twelve choppers, charged by a
stool-pigeon who was introduced into
the ranks of the sharecroppers
union, with aSsaulting him, had been
held incommunicado In the county
Jail for two months.
In court crowded with Negro
troopers here, Bowling was forced to
drop prosecution plans for railroad
ing the troopers to long chain-gang
terms.
An appeal viii be taken by the In
ternational Labor Defense against
the sentence, it was announced.
Frank Irwin, attorney retained by
the I. L. D., exposed the frame-up in
the courtroom when he proved by
the almanac that it was moon
less night when Powell, the stool
pigeon, claimed he was assaulted by
men whom he recognized by moon
light.
The Sharecroppers Union has
pledged to fight for the release OF
their comrades, linking up this
struggle with the fight against
evictions, for the whole check In all
federal relief without sharing with
the landlords who have been taking
practically the whole amount under
the A. A. A. regulations, and for the
right to organize.

Landlord Calls Riot Cops
to Evict Negro in SnoW
LID and LSNR Fight
Landlords Open
Discrimination

NEW YORK.-Because the land
lord refused to have a Negro ten
ant, William Bryan, married and
the father Of four children, who
has been unpaid since Nov. ct, for
work done on a Civil Works job,
was forcibly thrown out of his home
at 131 Herzl St., Brooklyn, We'd
nesday, during a snow storm, by
the New York police acting with
out disposses5 or marshal's
order.
Bryan, who has been evicted
three times in the past seven
months, because the landlord re-
fused to accept city rent checks,
worked at Bear Mountain until last
February, when he was injured on
the job, and for which he has as
yet received no compensation.
He moved into the Herzl st. house
at 8 200 p. m. on Dec. IL, and paid
a deposit on the rent. At 400
p. m. the police acting under the
orders of the landlord, Sam Chakin,
president of the Brownsville Land
lords Association, were on hand to
evict him. Chakin had just found
out Bryan was Negro. Bryan
refused to go.
At $50 p. m. of the next day
while it was showing, 10 police en-
tered Bryan's home and forced the
eviction although the landlords
eviction law specifically states that
in no case can an eviction be car
ried through after 400 p. m. OF
during rain or snow storm. Fiji
teen police with tear gas and riot
guns were stationed outside and ad-
ditional police were stationed on the
roof of adjoining buildings.
Bryan formed a delegation OF
four, and went to the 73rd precinct
police station and demanded that
he be permitted to remain in his
home. While he was demonstrating
with the desk sergeant, the police
who did the job came in and said
"All right, captain, we did a swell
job. We put it over fine; l con-
graduate you" The sergeant mo-
toned to them to remain quiet
while the delegation was there.
A delegation of 10, representing
the workers of the neighborhood
went to Commissioner Bolan to de.
mand that provision be made for
Bryan and his family, and he be
Immediately reinstated in his home
and that Captain, Ward of the 73rd
Precinct, who evicted Bryan, be i'm
mediately fired. .Bolan was "not
in" and Chief Inspector O'Brier
consented to meet with a delega-
ton of six.
O'Brien promised that Captain
Ward of the 73rd precinct would
take adequate" steps for the Bryan
family. When a member of the
delegation called Ward on the phone
he said that "the police were will
ing to send the children to an in.
stitution, and that Bryan and his
wife could go to Lighthouses"
Bryan who was to report for
work on C. w. A. job at Marine
Park today, was unable to do SC
because he had no home in which
to put his wife and children.
The League of Struggle for Ne
gro Rights, 1913 Pitkin Ave-, Brook
lyn, and the international Labor
Defense are demanding that Bryan
be Immediately put back in his
home, and that relief to the full
extent of his wages lost be paid
to Bryan.

Very Small Number
Won from Basic
Industries
By e. EDWARDS
TTT

What efforts is the Party making
in order to win for the Party the best
elements from the broad masses Of
Negroes who synpathize with the
Party2 We do not have the figures
of recruitment from the Southern
Districts, and therefore limit our
selves in this analysis to the five con-
centration districts.
Chicago District recruited, during
the last six weeks, $50 members for
the Party. Fifty-six (about 1890 of
these were Negroes. This is a rel
atively high percentage, but the gen.
eral weakness of recruiting in the
Chicago District is reflected in the
impermissibly small number Of Negro
workers recruited from the basic in
dustries. For example, in this entire
period, not one Negro was recruited
from the stockyards, and only one
Negro steel worker joined the Party.
SIS Of the Negroes came from the light
industries.
Not From Basic Industries
Cleveland, during the same period,
recruited IS new workers into the
Party. Among them we're II Negroes,
or about 209o of the total recruit
ment. This is in itself not bad per-
centage, but the smallness Of the
total number recruited, reduces the
value of this relatively good percent
age of Negro recruits. OF the II
Negroes, only are from the basic in
dustries more than Chicago recruit
ed, and ID from light industries.
Detroit recruited, In the last five
weeks, 81 new members. Six Qo8o)
of these recruits were Negroes
from basic industries and from
light industry.
Pittsburgh during the last six weeks
won SO new workers for the Party.
Among them were Negroes, less
than 59o-one from basic industry,
one from light industry and one
teacher. This is an extremely bad
record, and indicates that no real
efforts have been made to draw the
best Negro workers into the Party.
New York Figures
New York recruited, during the past
six weeks, 655 new members. OF these
40 were Negroes, from basic indus
tries, 36 from light industries and l
editor. Naturally we cannot apply

DALLAS, Texas.-C. w. A. au-

DISABILITY AND
DISCRIMINATION

MISS GRACE CULLEY, member OF
lsl the White House Secretarial staff
was offered an army plane to trans
port her to Washington when she was
ill. She received this through the
kindness of Mrs. Roosevelt. Such con
sideration for its employees certainly
deserves the respect of the disabled
veterans who, at present, find them
selves on the bread lines and In
sllantytowns.
A plane for sick secretaries and a
kick in the pants for disabled vet.
Grams; this is capitalist justice. Per-
haps Roosevelt's pious smirk can an
swer this discrimination.
But we veterans must answer this
in a different way. If secretaries can
be taken care of by the Federal gov
eminent, then the veterans must see
to 1t through their rank and file
groups that they are also taken care
Of by the Federal government. Roose-
welt has passed the buck about relief
compensation and pensions, to the
States. It is up to us veterans to
make the States come across. II they
do not, then we must force through
mass action the government Of these
States to admit the inability Of the
States to take care Of us. A further
admission must be wrung from these
buck passers that responsibility for
compensation, pensions and adequate
Cash Relief rests with the Federal
government.
The best way to do this Is to de-
mand Workers Ex-Servicemen's
League representative for the vet
Grams in Washington, to be recog-
nized by the Board Of Appeals in the
hearing Of these disability cases. For
the w. E. s. L. Is the only ex-service-
mems organization that honestly
lights for the rank and file veterans.
The Board Of Appeals is to be vet

to appeal that case and don't trust
the fairness of bankers, lawyers and
big businessmen who are to sit on the
Board with generals, colonies, etc., Of
the American Legion, Veterans Of
Foreign Wars and Disabled American
Veterans, then we must get w. E. s.
L. representative. He is the only one
we can trust to present the veterans
cases to the Board. In the meantime,
we should keep up the fight for the
3-point program, which insures ade-
quate relief for all veterans and

Heydler's Wry Face

The American League has
again demonstrated it's superb
ority over the National League,
and I can see President John
Heydler's wry face as he must
have left the Century of Progress
game yesterday after the Ma
tional League All-Stars were de-
feated by the Americans, 4 to z.
Heydler takes the defeat Of Ma
tional League teams as reluc-
tantly as a kid takes castor oil.
We shall never forget his jubi-
lation when the Cardinals de-
feated the Athletics four games
to three in 1881. It was the
same in 1926 when the same
Cards defeated the Yankees and
in 1925 when the Pirates beat
Washington.
But as matters stand, the
American Leaguers have won II
of the % world series as they are
now played under the national
agreement, and that is a tough
comparison to any dyed-in-the-
wool National Lacquer. Won
der whether Washington can
beat the Giants in the next
world series-certainly not II
they have many Carl Hubbels
on the Giants, eh!
And say, is that Babe Ruth a
Snowman!
And is he ever equal to the
occasion!

contrary to expectations, it was
the twist that won.
Even in the early stages, Craw-
ford frequently broke through
the champions service. Fifteen
games passed before Vines was
able to break down the Austral-
ian's opposition and win a game
from the challenger's service.
CraWford's victory was all the
more astonishing because it will
be the first time in many years
that a player from Australia
which has turned out many crack
Davis Cup teams-has ever won
the all-England championship.
It was surprising also because
Vnes had appeared to be at the
top of his form. He had disposed
of Henri Cochet of France in a
four-set match that never extend
ed him greatly.
AS the players took their posi-
tions for the deciding set, it was
anybody's match, with majority
sentiment still favoring Vines de-
spite Crawford's magnificent per-
formance.
Crawford again won his service,
but Vines retaliated with four
sizzling aces. and then for the
first time broke through the
Australian to lead 2 to /.
CannOnball Works
The Americans cannonball was
working perfectly and he drew
away to 81 by winning the
fourth on service. Crawford took
the fifth to pull up to 80, but
from then on, the champion had
things his own way, winning the
set, 60.
In the final set, however, neither
was able to break through his
opponents sizzling service aces,
and the games became 4-all.
