HELM RANTS
AGAINST nine

Expressing a cruder lynch policy as
against the more subtle lynch meth
DDS being followed by Judge James
e. Horton, former U. S. Senator
Thomas j. Helm of Alabama has
sent the following wire to Attorney
General Thomas z. Knight who is
seeking to electrocute the nine in
nocent ScottSboro boys:
II share with you the keen dis
appointment and resentment that
you feel over the strange and an
moving action of Judge Horton in
the Scottsboro rape cases, and I will
be glad to assist you free of charge
in having Judge Horton relieved
from further consideration of these
cases and in having another Judge
appointed TO try the Scottsbofo
Negroes. This dallying with the
Scottsboro rapists is humiliating
insult to the white race in Alabama
and the very worst thing that could
happen to lsw-abiding Negroes OF
this state. It is putting wicked
thoughts in the minds of lawless
Negro men and greatly increasing
the danger to the white women of
Alabama.
LET justice be done and done
speedily so there will be no more
bribing of witnesses and brazen in
references with court trials for rape
in Alabama
Earlier, in a statement to the
press, Knight, whose father wrote
the prevailing opinion Of the Ala
bama Supreme Court UNFOLDING the
original Scottsboro frame-up, de-
clared: 1.-The prosecution OF tbs
Scottsboro cases will not be abated.

Only when we compare the amount
of wages paid to the working class
during the same period, can we know
how the workers live. And this very
weeks issue of the Annalist, one Of
the leading publications Of Wall st.
finance capital, publishes data which
shows that since 1929, to the present
month, the total wages paid out to
workers here dropped over so per cent
while the cost Of living" figure has
dropped only 30 per cent since 1929.
That is. while prices we're falling,
wages were dropping twice as fast!
But this does not tell the whole
story. The above figures do not in
clude the enormous drop in working
class income due to the existence of
100000 unemployed workers. The

Attempt t Hide the
Sc Per Cent Drop in
Workers Income

THE statisticians Of the National In
l dustrial Conference Board, wide
ly-recognized capitalist organization
of economists, has Just issued a report
showing the first rise in the cost of
living index since 1880. And the
capitalist press is giving this report
the widest publicity, deliberately dis
torting the report In order to give
two false impressions: first. that the
cost of living for the workers has
been declining up to now. and sec
ond, to conceal the real extent of the
sharp rise in prices resulting from
impact Of Roosevelt's inflationary
program.
The whole purpose OF the current
ballyhoo Is to throw down smoke
screen, behind which the process OF
increasing profits for the employers
by raising prices and reducing wages
can go on, without any opposition
from the workers to whom It will
mean even more hunger and suffer-
ing.
THE Roosevelt government repre-
! senting the interests of the Amer
lean capitalist class and particularly
the most powerful section of it. fl
nance capital of Wall Street, is driv-
ing grimly trampling the American
workers deeper into hunger and suf-
fering.
This ruthless onslaught can be
stopped only by the resistance Of the
American workers. So long as they
do not organize their forces in the
factories, shops and in their unions,
the capitalist class will not let up
one iota of its hunger drive. The
