Ske well worth seeing
A n interesting experiment Is being tried by
" the Art League of Washington. Pill Ban
croft place, in setting forth an exhibition con-
sisting of works in several media by artists
Of Pennsylvania and New York, for the most
part those working in the Delaware Valley. As
q rule it has been thought less effective to
show simultaneously in the same gallery side
by side oils water col0rs, drawings, etchings,
etc.. but undoubtedly because thing has not
been done is no reason why it should not be
done, and something may be said In favor Of
inclusiveness
In this current exhibition there are over three
hundred entries, too many to even catalogue
except by groups, and the capacity Of the Art
League rooms has been tried to the utmost.
Two rooms upstairs are added to the number
ordinarily used, and one below stairs In the
basement. Twenty nine painters, sculptors and
etchers are represented, as well as five groups
o6 craftsmen. One Of the - artists shows no
less than 81 works-nature gtudies together
with two etchings, seven portrait studies IN
various media, and two figure draWings The
anount Of material Is almost overwhelming.
And for the most part the exhibitors are Just
winning their spurs. They are too young as
exhibitors to have - yet appeared In the

delegates representing 5000 workers
met to discuss grievances, formulate
demands and form provisional COM

organization. The workers present
come from 10 various C.W.A. projects
in the city and country.
Workers told of how they we're
forced to come back to receive their
pay checks and had to wait from 6
to IA hours before the paymaster ar
rived. On one job the men waited
from s am. until midnight before
they got their checks. On another
job ct the Jefferson Barracks the men
demanded coal for fires on the job

On many Of the jobs the straw bosses
(whose jobs in most cases are political
awards) have been met with united
resistance of the workers when they

Demands of C.W.A. Workers
The main grievance is the unequal
pay for the same work; pay ranging
from 45c to 781ac per hour, slave driv-

cussion, workers were elected as a

on the following slogans and de-

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 29.--
While State C.WA. officials were
here comforting over the protest Of
C.W-A. workers in Dayton, Tennessee
against discrimination in giving out
jobs, it was recalled that the protest
of the C.W.A. workers of Dayton was
preceded by spontaneous demonstra-

Economic Theft

ROxBORO, N. c., Dec. 29.-Charged
with murder because he shot and
killed his landlord in self-defense,
Emanuel Biddings, Negro tobacco
cropper, faces 1ynching, or a lynch YER
dict of death when he comes up for
trial Jan. IL.
The International Labor Defense,
investigating the circumstances OF the
case, has uncovered the full story, re-
vealing the direct relation between the
lynch-charge Of murder and the OPP
preston and robbery of the share
! troopers by the white landlords OF
the South.
Biddings raised crop of tobacco
on shares with his landlord, Clayton
shares being officially set at $3.50.
The tobacco was placed in barn.
Buildings went to Clayton's house to
tell him he was going to take his half
out so he could sell it. Clayton being
out, Clayton's wife told him to go
ahead. Biddings took his share and
brought it to his house.
Soon Clayton arrived and told Bid
dings the tobacco must either be re-
turned to the barn, or placed in the
pack-house. They went together to
the pack-house, where they found to-
bacco belonging to Clayton strewn all
over the floor. When Biddin3s asked
the landlord to have the tobacco
moved SO he could bring his in, he
was told the landlord would do no
such thing, and ordered not to touch
1t himself
began to store the tobacco in his loft,
his children passing it up to him.
Clayton soon arrived and knocked
the tobacco out of the children's
hands, pushing one boy against the
wall. Blddings' wife, Mrs. Katie Bid
dings, called to him:
You'd better ccme downstairs! Mr..
Clayton is fighting with the children. -
AS soon as Biddings came down
stairs and spoke to him, Clayton
called to his wife:
II want you TO come and hear the
last words l am going to tell this
god damned niger before L blow
his brains out" AT the same time
he put his hands into his pockets
as though to draw gun.
In self-defense, Biddings took down
the shotgun that was Just over his
head as he stood inside the doorway,
and shot down his landlord.
Lynch sentiment among the land
lords of Person County, where Rox-
boro is situated, is running high, the
LID. reports. The case involves di-
rectly the right Of troopers to sell
their produce, whether tobacco or
cotton. BY denying this right, the
white Southern landlords keep the
Negro and white share choppers
working for them in perpetual debt
slavery.
The LID. Is raising mass protest
among share-croppers, poor farmers
and city workers, demanding the i'm
mediate release of Biddings; quash-
ing of the Indictment against him on
the ground of unconstitutional bar
ring Of Negroes from the Grand Jury;
change OF venue from Person County
to the industrial city of Durham,
N c.; exclusion Of landlords and in
clusion OF white and Negro share
choppers in the trial jury.
