PRAISE FOR MAY 4 ISSUE
Chicago, Illinois.

i CIllca20, llllnOlS
Comrades:-
You've got it. Don't lose it. The
issue of May 4th is what? Damned
if 1 can describe it, but it has the
cocksuredness, that confidence, that
punch. Well used to read the old
Daily Worker and would get tired
and depressed feeling.
Eugene Gordon" Say, do you
know have been laid up for two
weeks with battered back and when
I read Gordon's description of Bos-
tons May Day Parade, I raised up
out of bed and forgot my back. He
is the best dam reporter you have
got. We don't usually applaud each
other. Can't help it. That contempt
and sarcasm of his is not forced but
natural and refreshing. He is con-
fident and strong. He didn't Just
write all our slogans and put a lit
tie news in between each slogan.
Sparks is also good. News Briefs
are good.
American workers, she's written by
you and for the entire working class
Of America, regardless OF race or col
or.
Forward toward a classics society!
Comradely,
FRED STANLEY.

NEGRO BISHOPS
BACK LID. FIGHT
Denounce Scottsboro,
Herndon Verdicts

JACKSON, Tenn, May 1.-THE
General Board of the Colored Me-
thodist Episcopal Church, in session
in Jackson, Tenn, with eight BIZ
shops and nine general officers with
more than $50 pastors and lay re-
presentatiyes throughout the U. s..
went on record condemning the
Scottsboro verdict in Decatur, and
that Of Willie Peterson in Birming-
ham, and the Angelo Herndon, in
Atlanta, Ga.
The resolution reads in part:
1.-THE Bench of Bishops and the
General Board Of the Colored Me-
thodist Church, in Annual session
desire to issue the following state
ment to the nation with reference to
the Scottsboro and Peterson cases in
Alabama, and the Angelo Herndon
case in Georgia.
I'VE have watched with very grave
concern the recent trials and convic-
tons of the above named, and with
out any hesitancy whatever, we go
on record as condenning these con-
victions as indicating the rankest type
of race prejudice against a minority
group.
''In view Of what appears to be
undisputed truths, all Of which show
new trends in racial oppression, to
say nothing of brutalities and total
disregard of human life and liberty
that is guaranteed in the constitution
Of the United States and all civilized
society, we feel it our duty to
call upon our entire congregations
throughout the Nation to contribute
funds and moral support to said in
such able defense as shown by the
International Labor Defense organi-
cation; and that such donations be
given concertedly, and funds sent to
a designated committee and in turn
to the headquarters Of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense"
The Bishops Of the bench are
Elias Cottrell, Holly Springs, Missis-
sippi; G. H. Phillips Cleveland, Ohio;
R. c. Carter, Chicago; r. T. Brown
Birmingham, Alabama; ]. c. Martin
Memphis; J. A. Hamlett. Kansas City
Kansas; and j. w. Mckinney, Sher-
man Texas.

youth are faced with greater prob
lens than ever before. Millions of
young workers are unemployed. The
workingc class students are graduating
into unemployment. Close to mil
lion homeless young workers, boys and
girls, are roaming the highways and
"iungles" in desperate effort to keep
alive. Relief in all cases either does
not exist or is entirely inadequate.
The wages Of the young workers in
the shops are being mercilessly
smashed down TO a starvation level.
Above all, the youth are being pre-
pared for another world bloodbath,
which has already begun in China and
South America. In ell respects the
working class youth of America are
being robbed of a chance to live.
Raw Deal for Youth
RooseyeltS New Deal" far from
meeting up with his prediction
promises, is actually the means by
which the bosses are increasing ire
mendously the burden of the young
workers. His forced labor camps are
directed especially toward the youth.
On the one hand, Roosevelt is substi-
tuting forced labor for unemployment
insurance and cash relief for the
youth. On the other hand, these
camps are primarily the means Of
creating a reserve army of 250,000
youth. The Roosevelt cutting
policy is leading to such conditions
among the young and child workers
as were revealed in the recent Allen
town strike, where young workers
were working 54 hours week for 81
and 49,
Roosevelt refused to see the Scots
boro marchers when they came to
Washington to demand the freedom of
the Scottsboro boys.
Forced Labor Camps
RooSeyelts program for the Amer
lean youth is fit brother Of the
Fascist Hitlers program for the Ger
man youth Both are forcing the
youth into the forced labor camps.
Both are using the forced labor
camps, behind a smoke screen of un-
employment relief, for the training of
the youth for imperiallst war and the
attack against the Soviet Union.

FARMERS DEFENSE
BUREAU FORMED
Levison, LID Attorney,
General Secretary

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12.-
A Farmers National Defense Bureau,
with David Levinson, International
Labor Defense attorney of Philadel-
phia, as general secretary, has been
formed here to fight against the ar
rest and railroading of farmers to
long term Jail sentences for resisting
evictions and farm foreclosures.
Levinson was lawyer for the lid
in the famous Fuel Lee case on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, where
lynch Inobs threatened defense coun-
sci, as in the Scottsboro case in De-
catur, Ala, for exposing the frSne-up
Of Negro workers and the exclusion of
Negroes from jury panels.
OF the need for the Defense Bur
eau, the Farmers National Weekly"
organ of the Farmers National Com
mittee for Action, says:
THE formation of a Farmers
National Defense Bureau was made
necessary by the fact that increasing
numbers of farmers all over the coun-
try are being arrested and railroaded
to prison because they dare stand up
and defend their homes and families.
In Nebraska, Harry Lux has been
convicted of contempt and his case
must be appealed; in Alabama, five
Negro share croppers have been found
guilty of assault with attempt to
murder for resisting white deputies
who had killed five of their fellow
farmers in a foreclosure; in South
Dakota, Niles Cochran is serving 8
three year sentence for his activities
in the milk strike; in Michigan
George Casper and Clyde Smith are
facing twenty year sentences on
charges of criminal syndicalism for
| fighting a foreclosure sale.
There have been countless minor
arrests. In the majority of these
cases the farmers lawyers have
charged outrageous fees, and have
then leaned on technicalities instead
Of presenting the moral justice be-
hind the militant farmers action. AS
the militancy Of the organized farm
ers increases, there will be increased
arrests"

with the job"
Kurt looked so flabbergasted that
Anna burst out laughing.
"I don't know what there is to
laugh about" he flared up. At bottom
he was only annoyed that he had not
thought of this himself. OF course
one had to think of tomorrow. And
who knows what will develop in the
next few days. Moreover they were
quite clear politically now.
"Wen, comrades, let's go down
quickly and see what they are doingl"
The street was pitch black. A fresh
night wind met the workers. Here
and there dark shadows were to be
seen outside the houses. In the black
doorways cigarettes glowed The men
were talking in whispers to one an
other. No one could sleep that night.
Kurt and the other comrades hur-
ried through the quiet dark street to
the PankstraSse At the corner a
large red sign was visible above the
heavy blinds: Cutlery and Steel
Goods" On the street side every
thing was perfectly quiet. But stand
ing in front Of the shop they heard
muffled noises.
Through the house door they went
into the backyard.
who's there?"' The call came from
hidden corner in the wall Thomas
answered.
Noiselessly few shadows were
climbing out Of the back window
carrying parcels. They worked quickly
and without a sound. There was not
much to take. 1t was not a real arms
shop, its stock being mostly scissors,
knives and razorS. One man stood on
guard in the shop to see that nothing
was taken but potential weapons.
There were small arms, Brownings,
daggers and some knuckledusters.
Better than nothing.
In less than quarter of an hour
the job was finished. Some arms were
hidden in safe place the others dis
tributed to well-mown, reliable
workers, and in this, party member
ship had long ceased to be decisive
factor. Behind this defence stood the
whole alley.
