their waverings, and at the same
time win their confidence.
We must win the workers in the
reformist organizations by proving to
them our sincerity, our ability to
lead, and by the concrete exposure Of
their misleaders.
This must be done at once, because
one of the first conditions upon
which we can build a mass movement
is to show that the terror can be
broken, that we can force our rights
to organize, our rights to free speech,
our rights to struggle for better con-
ditions.
Issues Down Clearly
This can be done because, at the
present time, as a result of the Won

court by the two young Negro attor-

militant action of Herndon himself,
all the issues in the case have been
