| SCHENECTADY, N. Y, May IA
resolution denouncing the attacks on
the ScottSboro boys in the Jefferson
County jail in Birmingham and a de-
mand that they be freed, was adopted
by the Young Peoples Union Of the
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church there.
A similar resolution was adopted By
the First Community Baptist Church
OF Schenectady, which took up a col
lection to defray expenses of the three
Schenectady delegates to the Scots
boro March. The delegates will be
given farewell meeting to be held al
Lithuanian Hall, 7o3 Windsor Ter
race, on Thursday.
The resolution follows:
I'VE, members of the MT. Oliyet
Baptist Young Peoples Union Of
Schenectady, strongly protest the at
tack of the prison guards on the de-
fenseless nine innocent Scottsborc
boys. We condemn this as an at
tempt to seek excuse to lynch the
boys behind prison walls. We hole
the Governor of Alabama responsible
for the safety of the boys. We de-
mand unconditional release of all the
boys, and we will do what we can tc
help secure their freedom"
