IVY MOSS DEAD;
18th VICTIM OF THE
ALA. LANDLORDS
Denial of Medical
Aid Resulted in
Pneumonia

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan.
lily Moss, Negro cropper,
died yesterday several days
after mass pressure effected
his release from Jail. He was
one of seven troopers released
following the wholesale ar
rests made by the sheriffs
after the Battle of Reeltown in
which Negro troopers and exploited
farmers heroically defended them
selves against the armed landlord po-
lice lynch gangs seeking to smash
the Share Choppers Union and ter
rorize the Negro toilers,
Moss died Of pneumonia as a re-
suit of exposure and lack of care
while he laid wounded in Jail. Moss
death increases the known number
of Negro dead to four. At least one
cropper was murdered following the
Battle Of Reeltown. Cliff James and
Milo Bentley, leaders of the Crop
pers Union at Reeltown, were muir
dered in Jail by denial by the author
tiles of medical attention for their
wounds. The murder of the four
choppers lies directly at the doors of
the rich landlords of Tallapoosa
County, their police and their Negro
reformist agents at the head of Tus-
kegee Institute, who betrayed Cliff
James and another cropper into the
hands Of the police.
jug Moss, another of the released
choppers, is reported dying. He was
the one who nursed Cliff James and
Milo Bentley while they were con-
fined together in dark cell and de-
MED medical aid. jug Moss had been
threatened by the landlords and
their sheriffs with lynching since he
was released. Similar threats have
been made against many other CROP
pers in the Reeltown section. Only
the firm solidarity of many OF the
white troopers with the Negro CROP
pers in the joint struggle against
SLarVdIlOn mas prevented Tile carry :
ing out of these threats.
The landlord police terror con-
tinues, however, and whole fami-
lies, including infants at their
mothers breasts, are reported sleep
ing in the brush in fear of another
murderous attack by the landlords
and their deputized thugs.

openly announced Japan's sabotage
of the peace efforts of the Soviet

militarists for more than year, to
be "as good as dead.

Of the swing to support for these

statement by Business Agent j. D.
Masso Of Local Union 528 Of the

"The local which ] represent has

initiated by the A. F. of J.. Com

ance and Relief for the last year.
81 hail and heartily endorse the
move initiated by this committee
for a state wide conference of Ia
Dor organizations to take up a COM
prehenSive program fer labor legis-
laticn.
81 feel that the duty of labor IN
ions is to fight for and defend the
economic conditions of the work
ers. The economic basis of the
100000 unemployed workers of
this country has become perma-
nent unemployment and since ac-
cording to all admissions of lead
ing economists, social, welfare and
charitable organization leaders, and
officials Of the A. F. of L. that the
crisis is here to stay for a long
time and that unemployment has
become a permanent institution
and that even If the crisis were to
end today almost so per cent of
the unemployed would remain per-
manently unemployed. 1t becomes
of utmost Importance that labor
organizations of every political
opinion and aff1liation unite for
the purpose of working out a pro-
gram of labor legislation which
shall in reality safeguard, first, the
advantages already won by labor
through struggles of over quarter
of century, and secondly, defend
the interests of the workers against
the concentrated attack of the bos-
ses during this crisis.
81 would, therefore, urge espe-
cially all labor unions to give their
active support to this proposed
conference"
Endorsements were received the

the All-China Federation of Trade
Unions.

that Huang has been sent to Marking

NEW YORK.-Workers from all

will join today in a mass demonstra-

of Marshall Chang Hsiao-liang, die

stration will be held at 5 p. m. at the

Huang Ping is being subjected to
the most frightful tortures because
of his leadership of the heroic strug-
giles of the Chinese masses. The
Marking government, nominally the
head of China, and American i'm
perialism, which supports both the
Marking and Peiping regimes are,
also responsible for this torture.

classy field at Temple.

going into the final game and
seemed hopelessly out Of the run

of marks with fat counts early
in his final game and by the
ninth box was only few pins
behind Megaw. He missed a
single in the ninth box and
seemed to have blown his G.4ance.
But the fateS were with him,
for he got another single in the
tenth, which he promptly
smacked full on the nose. Need
ing three. pins to win, his ball
headed straight for No. 6. It
looked bad for Samuel. How
ever, the pellet hooked just as
it drove into the pin and four
naples flew off, one bouncing
back to knock down two more to
