Mighty Protest
On Latest Outrage

protest meeting for Saturday after
noon at 131st st. and Lenox Ave.
At the meeting yesterday at Sew
enth Ave. and 128th ST., the workers
voted to elect a delegation to visit
Rev. Powell to demand the use Of
his church for protest meeting.
The delegation will call upon him to
reverse his former stand Of co-opera-
ton with the lynchers, as shown in
his last-minute closing Of his church
to a protest meeting on the James
Matthews lynch-murder, despite his
previous agreement to permit the
meeting.
At joint meeting Of representa-
tives from the L. S. N. r., the I. L.
D. and the Unemployed Council, in
the Liberator office yesterday after
noon, it was decided to organize a
delegation to go to Baltimore imme-
diately to join delegations elected by
Philadelphia and Baltimore workers
to visit Governor Richie at Anna
polls. William Patterson, National
Secretary Of the I. l.. D., has already
left for Baltimore, and will lead the
delegation, together with a white
working class leader, to be elected
within the next day or two. Bob
Minor, Communist candidate for
Mayor Of New York City, was pro-
posed by several Harlem workers
and the committee promised to find

must vote and be consulted on any
settlement, and no vote should be
confined to the United Textile mem
bsrs.
The U.N.S.C. is ready to negotiate
with the manufacturers with a S2I90
scale as the basis for negotiations,
but points out that this must be p
definite minimum and that a real
offer must be made by the manu-
facturers and not an indefinite feeler
from Wagner.
When the Labor Board, under Sell
ator Wagner, meets in Washington
on Friday to consider the terms Ct
settlement, the United National
Strike Committee, together with the
National Textile Workers Union, will
have a delegation present to guard
against any U.TW. sell-out. Addi'
tional delegations will come from
Paterson, Allentown, Easton and
other cities under the leadership OF
the NT.W.U.
There were rumors that the United
Piece dye works plant was opening
up, but the strike is as solid as
ever. In the face of mass picket
lines, the great Lodi plant of the
United Co., and all others remained
closed.
In the dye strike the U.T,W. lead
ers are still trying to force the work.
ers to accept a sell-out settlement
The A. F of L. members in the dye
strike have rejected the sell-out
terms, but Eli Keller announced to
the press he is experimenting an
other vote, and will discard" the
ballots taken when the agreement
was rejected. 1t was reported that
Vigorito and Pirolo, A. F. Of L. dye
strike leaders, are now up on charges
before Keller and the other UT.W
leaders, because, under the pressure
{ of the demand of the workers, they
advocated unity between the NTW
U. and U.T.W. dye strikers.

will uncover all the facts, and show
the precise links between the lynch
ing and the actions of the state Off
Gals in preparing it, as we'll as the
crude frame-up nature of the charge
against Armwood.
The second announcement was of q
regional anti-lynch conference, to be
held Nov. IL, in Baltimore itself, with
representatives of every organization
opposed to lynching from Massachu-
sets and New England, New York,
New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Pitts
burgh districts of the International
Labor Defense.
The Baltimore anti-lynch confer
ence will be one of many regional
conferences held throughout the
country, where programs of action
against lynchings will be formulated
and plans made to put them into eff
feet A national conference will prob
ably be called early in the year.
Regional conferences are also under
way. in the South, Patterson said. One
has already been held in Birmingham.
and conference is being prepared
in Norfolk, Va, for Nov. 8.
NEW YORK.-In a telegram to the
Daily Worker, Richard B. Moore,
member OF the National Committee Of
the League of Struggle for Negro
Rights, called upon the Negro and
white workers to raise mighty pro-
test against the lynching of George
Armwood in Maryland, and the grow
ing lynch terror manifeSting itself in
three lynchings in widely separated
parts of the country within the past
ten days. Moore is now on tour for
the Scottsboro defense.
'"The lynching of George Armwood,"
Moore declared, "is part Of the ma
tion-wide terror against the Negro
people, aimed at perpetuating their
national oppression and slavery. In
the case of Arrlwood, there was not
even the usual concocted charge of
rape He was arrested on 'suspi-
clon' of grabbing the arm of a white
woman. The implications of attempt
ed rape contained in the Shiny capt.
talist press is intended to antagonize
the white workers against the Negro
people, disrupt the growing unity OF
Negro and white workers, and prepare
the way for new onslaughts, under
the MIRA. codes. against the whole
working class. The American workers
black and white, must answer this
lynching with a mighty, organized
protest, with a determined demand
for the punishment Of the lynchers
and the Maryland officials who open
ly aided them"

side-Iines, awaiting their turn.
Same held true for the bandbalI
courts.
Mckee came into office and
crashed the front pages by with
drawing few lirnousines from use
by city officials. The limousines
crept, back but ether cuts had to be
made. No graft without credit from
he banks. Naturally they started in
places where no organized protest
was expected. Nobody counted on
the Delaney Street Athletics c. the
Houston CeItics to hire Samuel I'm
termyer for a legal fight in the
Board of Estimate.
A RULING to abolish altogether
II these evening sessions was about to
go through when the Labor Sports
Union and othe~ organizations circu-
lated and submitted protests signed
by professionals, social workers and
other outside people. The ruling was
held up but of recent the limousineS
have had to make several extra trips
up to Westchester clubs and some
thing had to be done. The number of
open evenings in the schools was re-
duced to an average of two.
There is no way of estimating the
number of teams who lost their home
grounds as a result of this grand ges-
ture to re-estabIish the city's finances.
And yet it meant only paying for a
few hundred hours of work each week
to a tiny portion of the multitude OF
unemployed teachers.
Approached by a representative of
the Labor Sports Union, Eugene G.
Gibney, of the Board of Education,
referred to the act as an unavoidable
economy measure. The most ne could
do was supply 1nineographed list of
the schools still available. The salary
of a very, very few officials like Mr..
Dabney would go long way toward
putting those courts back into circu-
lation. 1t is more than debatable
whether OBrien, Mckee, LaGuardia
or Solomon would consider such a
solution Emil Nygard of Crosby, Min
nesota, would. SO would Robert
Minor.
Over 80 basketball teams have all
ready sent applications to partici-
pate in the League competition Of
the Labor Sports Union. This
League is almost fatally handi-
capped by this dearth of fields.
Only action in the form of tele-
grams to O'Brien and Dabney at
the Board of Education will par
TALLY remedy the situation.

There's a difference between
playing left field in a grassy
COW pasture and doing your
base running between Mack trucks
and pushcarts. The hazards of the
COW pasture are purely aesthetic.
Apropos of this, the weeks low in I'M
reinstatement was reached by William
Faulkner, who wrote, as near as can
recoract, that "the sole irregularity in
last Sundays ball game on Farmer
KS pasture was committed by Joe
Green, who slid into what he thought
would be, third base" That, in New
York, is the minutest of inconve-
niences.
Ordinarily, this town develops the
best basketball teams in the coun-
try. 1t isn't only coaching which
made C.C.N.Y. and st. Johns, it's
material. Some of Nat E0lman's
most brilliant stars were boys who
never played basketball before,
small shifty kids used to lodging
cars and pivoting in the smallest
space possible.
I have often walked from the
Times Square subway through the
garment district, shot up crowded
elevator, jostled through bedlamic
dressing room, beginning the days
chores without the slightest recoi-
lection of the circumstances of my
trip. You have to be familiar with
the garment center to realize the
significance of this. In certain
hours it is incomparably the most
hectic and chaotic spot in the most
hectic and chaotic city there is. But
somewhere between your retina,
eardrums, medulla 0blongata, and a
few other places, no doubt, you de-
ve,op series of reflexes that en-
able you to register the approach of
automobiles, handtrucks, people,
and unconsciously make your way
without collisions.
NRESS- RACKS rush at you and you
~ veer Trucks, rattle, you stop short.
SkyscraperS loom oppressively on all
sides, you're buttonholed by peddlers,
you don't care. obviously you pro-
coed, reading paper maybe. Nothing
quite like that in Paris or Chicago.
Puny and under-nourished though
they may be, those child bootblacks of
New York are uncanny and unnatural
opponents of speed and precision.
They don't become basketball stars,
no, because you have to go to college
for thet or belong to the Y. Also, you
need stamina which doesn't come
from irregular eating. But in their
economy and efficiency of motion are
contained all the elements coaches
look for in their prospects.
Everybody who has gone through
New York's public schooling system
has played basketball intensively at
one time or another. The new schools
of course have large gyms and faclh-
ties which would be almost adequate
if properly exploited. But the most
dilapidated Of Eoet Side schools have
some sort of court.
Two or three years ago 1t wasn't
only during school hours that these
courts were utilized. Four or five
nights weekly teachers were as
signed to keep them open. AT that
they couldn't keep pace with the
demand. Three or four compete
teams would be constantly on the

The heroic strike OF the dye and
silk strikers has now reached its
eighth week. The strikers have
shown their unity, their fighting
spirit on the picket line, where, at
the call of the National Textile
Workers Union, the strikers of all
unions, and the unorganized, have
shown their solidarity in united
mass picket lines. The strikers have
resisted all attempts of the N.R.A.,
the United Textile misleaders and
the employers, to smash and sell
out their strike. Now, relief is need
ed at once. Aid the fight of the
heroic dye and silk strikers and
their families. Aid the solidarity of
the strikers. All individuals and
workers organizations should act at
once,

One of the wounded was Lloyd

He was taken Immediately to the
