Scottsboro case" is quoted in the
information alongside Of a statement
by Judge Foster, made after the
lynchings, that "a determined feel
ing to keep this from being another
Scottsboro case" prompted the lynch

The information filed with the
Grand Jury continues:
"It is recorded in an affidavit made
by I. L. D. attorneys present at the
time that Judge Foster in court on
Aug. threatened to kill with his
own hand the sender Of telegram
denouncing his action in barring the
attorneys from the case after they
had been retained by relatives OF the
defendants. The same affidavit
which has been filed with United
States Attorney General Cummings
states that deputy sheriffs in the

the effect that they themselves would
do 1t for him. :.
I'VE accuse Sheriff Shamblin OF
being a party to this plot, and OF

THE officers stated that the car In
which they transported Pippen, Har-
den, and Clarke, was accompanied for
the first fifteen miles from Tuscaloosa
and that these deputies were sent
by an escort car loaded with deputies
back to Tuscaloosa after these first
fifteen miles and had been travelled
In the light Of further developments
this is a clear indication Of q plot
to murder the three Negroes.
"The officers stated that they were

ter following q circuitous route, by
two cars filled with armed men who
took their prisoners from them. They
make no claim Of having offered any
resistance to these men. Even If this

admitted, on this basis alone the Of

their prisoners, are guilty Of murder.

800 Negro Workers
Strike for MOrePay
in Charleston, N. {.

CHARLESTON, N. c., Sept. A. =
The plant Of the Charleston Bagging
end Manufacturing Co. was shut
down tight this week when 200 Negro
women workers led the 800 workers
in the plant on eENk for the mini
mum wage under the NRA blanket
code. I'VE want So week. was the
slogan which called the workers out
on strike soon after the plant opened
last Saturday morning. The Charles
ton bagging mill is described as a
"hell-ho,ep by Charleston workers.
Shaving under a strevch-out system,
with SIS to so hours week and pay
averaging less than SO week, the
workers Of the weaving department
decided to strike for the So wage
provided under the textile code
which the company has ignored.
When these demands we're rejected
by Samuel Stauffer, the general man
azer, as well as the demand to be
paid Immediately, the workers called
on the rest Of the workers to join
them. They removed all the bob
bins, chopping knives and other ma
chine parts TO protect themselves in
the event of police attack. Their past
experiences stood them in good stead.
The police, 40 strong, had already
been called. Seeing the militant spir-
1t OF the strikers the police advised
stauffer to grant the demands of
the workers for their pay. The po-
lice then drove the workers away
from the plant and surrounded it to
prevent picketing.

lights Of the "kidnappers' car were
dimmed.
I'VE charge" the information
states, "that they chose a circuitous
road, out Of the way, in order to find
quiet spot in which to murder their
prisoners. We charge that the decoy
car said to had been sent out along
the main road to Birmingham at nine
o'clock on Saturday night could
have brought back no other report
that at such a time the road was
too thickly travelled to permit of
carrying out the plot. OF which we

about the armed and masked gang

not tell the numbers on the license

rode because these were turned up

final cynical touch to a story obW-

sheriffs involved, on the very day of
this lynching, cold-bloodedly shot and
murdered Jim Prllitt, Negro tenant
farmer, as he lay across his bed in

their blood-lust had been aroused,

pointed on learning that one OF their
victims had escaped death, and that

His emphasis of that admiration
implies a great deal. Prentice made
perfunctory efforts to prevent Vines
from continuing cas- the final match
with Perry had no bearing on the
result" but he does not deny that ht
considers it to have been the only
sporting procedure under the cir
cuinstances. An exceptionally per
tinent letter came into the Office q
few days back and I reprint 1t in
full.
Dear Newhouse:
In your column on the decline OF
Ellsworth Vines, you did not men,
ton the fact that Vines is only one
of a dozen potentially brilliant play
ers whose possibilities have been de-
stroyed by an imbecilic policy OF
overwork.
To achieve ranking in the Inter-
national First Ten, one must consider
tennis skill as the most important
achievement in life. OF course, this
c..l only occur in bourgeois countries
where perverted standards Of fame
sacrifice the mental and physical
health of thousands of youths.
But, assuming that the consum-
mate artistry of Tilden's game is
worth achieving, we find that Ameri-
can tennis officialdom has been so
siderations that it has consistently
blinded by immediate financial con-
ruined every promising player OF the
last eight years.
1t is no coincidence that the great
est tennis experts of all time gained
the heights years after they reached
their maturity.
Tilden was twenty-seven when he
assumed leadership. Lacoste, Cochet
and Borotra we're no striplings when
they routed Tilden, Richards and
Johnston. Jack Crawford for years,
has been improving his game slowly
and now at twenty-five he is at the
top.
Ever since the Davis Cup went to
France, officials have secured the
country for Tilden's successor. Prom
Using candidates, all youngsters,
have been rushed from tournament
to tournament until a pseudo-perfec-
ton was attained. AS a result, these
kid stars, after twinkling for short
while, have become mediocre players
with their vitality burned up.
Wood, when nineteen, was supreme
at Wimbledon. He failed in France
and has since retrogressed. Lott,
Doeg, Van Ryn, Allison, Coen were
never given an opportunity to ma
ture. The fire and spark of their
youthful play has disappeared.
Vines is the latest example. At
twenty -one ne is an old-timer, his
tennis brilliance dimmed before it
had chance of revealing itself fully.
And now, frankie Parker, seventeen,
is being rushed along the same path
to extinction.
That few players are able to sur
vive this destructive policy only in
dicates to what extent this rushing
is criminal. Winnie Richards, hailed
as the Boy Wonder" Topped for a
few years. But he came back. Frank
Shields, with tremendous stamina
and unusual physique is climbing
again after a sad experience in pre-
