GA. VERDICT

MASS ANGER
LID. Calls for Nation
Wide Protest Against
Vicious Verdict
TO APPEAL SENTENCE
A. Herndon Denounces
Capitalist Slavery
By r. H. HART

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 49,
An all-white jury yesterday
brought in a verdict of guilty
against 19-year old Angelo
Herndon, Negro organizer.
charged with attempting TO
''incite to instruction" for his
activities in organizing Negro
and white workers for joint struggle
against starvation, boss terror and
lynching. Herndon was tried under
an old statute dug up by the
Georgia bosses to support their
attempts to crush the rising
struggles of the toiling masses. Six
other organizers, two Negro men,
two white men and two write wo-
men, are facing trial under the same
musty statue, which provides for the
death penalty.
Fearful of the growing thunder OF
protests of the aroused workers, Ne
gro and white, the all-white jury
recommended a sentence of Is to 20
years on the Georgia chain gangs
for Herndon. The sentence is prac-
tically a death sentence.
Aimed at Negro Liberation.
That this vicious sentence is
clearly class verdict aimed at the
suppression of the struggles of the
white and Negro masses against
starvation and for Negro liberation

entire state, make up bills to submit
to the state legislature.
Socialist Branch Endorses

that of the Socialist Party Branch of
Huntington, Long Island, which at
its last meeting voted unanimously
to approve the purpose of the con-
ference and to elect two delegates to
Irving Plaza Hall Sunday.
The Huntington Socialists took
this action. although the state COM

state conference in an attempt to
split the ranks of the workers The
A. F. of l.. Trade Union Committee
for unemployment Insurance and
Relief which called both the confer
ence next Sunday and proposed the
Albany united front conference, an
swered the Socialist leaders split
ting attempt with a ringing call for
solidarity of all workers End no di-
Vided ranks, in this terrific unem-
ployment crisis. The Huntington SIP.
branch makes the first response to
the call for united front.
A.F.L. Carpenters
Among the latest unions to endorse
the two conferences and elect dele
gates for Sundays meeting are Locals
27l7 and 1l64 of the United Brother
hood Of Carpenters and Joiners of
America tAFL) and Local 70 of the
AFL stonemasonS union.
In addition to this, the Bill Hanni-
gan Association of Nassau County, an
organization of about $50 laborers
interested in labor legislation, voted
at its last meeting to endorse the
purpose of the conferences and to
elect delegates to meet with the 9TH
ers Sunday.
Call to All Others
Most OF the locals endorsing the
conference issue statements calling on
all other workers organizations to do
likewise, and to elect delegates to the
Preliminary Conference.
The Albany State Conference, for
which the preliminary conference will
make all arrangements, will discuss
for at least three days this problems
affecting the workers, and then will
draw up actual bills; in form to
lay before the legislature. Subjects
OF the bills will surely be unemploy-
ment insurance, anti-eYiction bills,
anti-injunction bills, anti-child sla-
very bills, and other demands of the
workers.

the japanese Government are at

raging in the Far East. They are
heroically carrying on this strug-

linking it up with the fight against
wage cuts and the growing impOv-

THE BEER MIRAGE

The return Of beer which will be celebrated on
April 7. may not prove to be the great event an
ticipated After the federal government collects
its tax and the states and municipalities get theirs
and all other charges are made for production,
advertising, distribution and sale, where Will the
drinker come in?
The beer situation resembles that of gasoline
which has been taxed until the taxes in some states
amount to onethrd of the retail price. 1t IS SAID
that the gasoline taxes have reduced the mileage
of cars and have driven many of them to the
garage while the wagon and buggy have reappeared
on the highways.
The taxes on beer may be disappointing to the
national, state and municipal governments as well
as to the beer drinkers who expect the fve-cent
glass of regulation size. They will not get 1t and,
like the automobile owner, may limit their phr-
chases.
In that event Mr.. Dalrymple, the new prohibi-
ton head, will have his hands full watching old

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ABUSES ARE THE CAUSE

1t was the open and uneXcused abuse Of the
liquor traffic a long period of years that hnal-
" brought about county option in many units, state
prohibition in many commonwealth, and finally
the enactment of the eighteenth amendment. The
people got thoroughly Disguised with the selfish
and reckless conduct of the beer and liquor traffic
Then came protest in the form of the national
prohibition law. And the unsatisfactory conduct
of the people and the wilful disregard Of that
same national prohibition law has so disguised
people generally that sentiment has again changed
and q liberalization of the beer and liquor laws is
underway.
But what is happening? Even before the law is
in effect the interested parties are already plah-
ming to bring the beer traffic into disrepute anu
associate it with cheap and disgraceful politics.
Gov. Herbert Lehman of New York is insisting
that the beer business be orderly and properly
controlled. But the legislature of that state is OPP
posing the program of the governor and majority
seem to be in favor of letting the traffic run riot
and without the control of board that would
eliminate the worst features Of the business in pre-
Volstead days
We believe that New Yorks situation is but q
prophecy of what the beer and liquor business IS
going to be as soon as it gets in good running
order The liquor business has never been law
abiding and we doubt if it ever will be of its own
votion 1t needs the most stringent restrictions

If North Carolina insists upon having good
schools, it must have good teachers
The character of the teacher is the final factor
in determining the characterized of the institu-

North Carolina is now paying its teachers an
average of less than 5000 year.
1t is paying convict guards that much; it is pay
ing stenographers more than that. 1t is paying
host of other public servants more.
Teachers of this state get an average of $500
less than the average for the nation.

RECOVERY MUST BE WORLDWIDE
(By BRUCE CATION

The things which are attracting the most
attention at Washington these days are the
spectacular developments in domestic pol
icy-the banking measures, the farm re-
lief proposals, the work relief projects and
so on.
But in the long run the most important
steps may be those to which we aren't
having great deal of attention right now
the preparations for long, patient ana
involved negotiations with other nations
which have as their goal the restoration
of international confidence, world trade
and general prosperity.
It is we'll known that the administrator
is making elaborate plans for this WORK.
But the subjects to be covered are so COM
plicated so far removed from the OBVIOUS
bread-and-butter requirements OF the mo-
ment, so difficult, in fact, for the ordinary
citizen to comprehend, that most OF us
have paid very little attention to them
Yet whether prosperity is to return to
us may easily depend, in the last analysis
on our governments foreign policy rather
than on it's domestic policy.
Whether the depression came chiefly
because of things that happened in Amer
lea, or whether it was caused by develop
ments overseas, one thing is pretty certain;
we can't get full prosperity back again I'M
less all nations have a share in it.
The world has grown so small IN the last
generation that there is no longer any such
thing as complete economic independence
We live too close to our neighbors; sick
ness in one house is very apt to mean sick
ness in every other hOuse-especially so
since our ideas of economic sanitation are
of the sketchiest and no such thing as an
adequate quarantine is possible.
And in the long run, whether We like 1t
or not, we must admit that prosperity has
to be pretty much worldwide affair The
measures proposed at Washington for set
ting our own house in order are vitality i'm
portant, of course; but unless international
trade, international credit and information
al confidence can be restored we aren't
likely to come to the end of lr troubles.

THE PISGAH CAMPS

Construction of camps for the unem-
ployed in Pisgah Forest was started today.
Ten camps are to be maintained in the
Forest and the first construction job IN
cludes four camps. 1t is announced that
unemployed men from cities in the eastern
section Of the United States will be sent
into the Forest to man these camps, but
local labor will be employed in building
them. Materials for construction of the
camps will be purchased locally in so far
as possible.
The first four camps to be erected in
Pisgah will be at the following places:
Pisgah division, on Davidson river in Tran
sylvania county; Mt Mitchell division, on
Curtis creek in Mcdowell county; French
Broad division. near Hot Springs in Madi-
son county; and Grandfather division,
either on Mortimer ridge or at Edgemont
in Caldwell county.
The building of these camps may be eX-
pected to have some results in the general
Improvement of business conditions in this
section; but the people Of the section
should not expect too much from this de-
velopment. It is said that the monthly pay
roll in ten camps will be considerably more
than thirty thousand dollars, but that is a
very small amount of money to spread over
an area as large as the greater part OF
Western North Carolina; and, as matter
of fact, probably the greater part OF the
money paid to men in the camps will be
sent back home to dependents by them.
This section will profit by whatever local
labor is employed and to the extent Of To-
cal purchases of materials and supplies
but it is practically certain that the great
est benefits derived by this section will
come in the future from the improvements
made in the national forests.
