In panic and anxious to break the

relief bodies working hand in hand
with them are cutting relief in the
strike area with the intent Of getting
scabs.
But the strike is under the militant
leadership Of the Agricultural Work
erS Union. Hundreds of laborers are
joining. The response is seen in the
unity of all workers, Filipinos and
Mexicans are responding well. The
women and children together with the
men go from camp to camp bring
ing the workers out to join the strike.
The first serious fight between
strikers and armed guards took place
yesterday, The strikers had just left

CHICAGO, Ap~il Is (By Air MaiD
The principal streets of Cflicago's
South Side during the whole of this
Saturday afternoon rang with the
shouts and cheers of 1000 demon
strators demanding the release OF the
innocent Negro boys framed UP and
condemned to death at Scottsboro,
Ala, and calling for an end to jim
Crow discrimination in Chicago. The
demonstration was occasioned by the
recent second conviction Of Haywood
Patterson, 19-year-old Negro boy, by
an Alabama lynch court and by a
campaign now being carried on for
Negro rights in Chicago.

About half Of the marchers were
white workers and half were Me-

spectators cheered the parade and
many hundreds joined its columns
from the sidewalk in the course Of
the march.
In the forenoon the downtown

The demonstration passed through

Chairman Lightfood and Secretary

Speakers representing the Com

the Communist Party was organized
in Chicago had such demonstrations
of Negro and white workers been
possible, and urged the building of

there could no successful struggle

due to "prejudicial statements and

In conclusion, Horton, though ad-
hitting the impossibility Of a fair

burden Of this fact on the shoulders
