ers who fall into the tolls of Florida's
chain gang system into the dreaded
Everglade swamps of this state is
announced by the Board Of Com
nissioners of State Institutions.
The announcement said that 1,400
prisoners, mostly Negro workers inn
pressed into the gang on framed
charges, will be set to work reclaim
ing the swanps. Under Florida forced
labor conditions, this means ordering
the murder of large percentage Of
them.
One hundred and fifty acres of SUI
gar cane will be planted at the Belle
Glade Prison Farm in the Everglades
this year, it was announced. If this
experiment proves profitable for the
state, the plan contemplates extern
sion of the work toward the reclama-
ton of 1000 acres.
The cost in human life for this
work under chain gang conditions has
been conseryatively estimated al a
minimum of one per acre. This, how
ever, is not considered an expense by
the Florida authorities.

pestedly, returning to the subject OF
Ruby Bates and seeking franticaIly
to discredit her testimony for the
defense. Following the lead of his
associate, Wade Wight, the At
torney general went in for some jew
batting:
1.-THE hobo talking with his hands,
is the way the Attorney General re-
ferred to Lester Carter, thus attempt
ing to overcome his damaging testi-
mony by sn insinuating effort to
arouse prejudice against Jews.
Carter, a tall blond, native South
ern white boy had testified that his
conscience had been troubled for two
years, since the frame-up of the boys,
until it was "ike getting well from
being dead.
Carter had attempted TO see Gov
Roosevelt in Albany in order to tell
him his story, but was told that he
was too busy" to see him.
Attorney General knight and
Judge Horton continued to receive
kilograms from organizations
throughout the U. S. protesting
against the lynch spirit which was
being whipped up and demanding
"the immediate and unconditional
release of the ScOttsboro boys" A
greater number arrived today than
ever before, it is reported.
At the same time Alabama off
Gals received word that President
Roosevelt was being flooded witt
similar protest wires demanding i'm
mediate measures to safeguard the
boys, their defense witnesses and theil
lawyers. These reports also told o.
delegations being organized to cal
upon Roosevelt. These delegations, Il
was indicated, would include promi-
nent individuals representing church
women's organizations, fraternal so.
cieties, etc.
Capt. Joe Burleson, commanding
the National Guardsmen on dut,
here, said that he too has been bonn.
barded with similar protests.

ONLY CONTINUOUS GROWING MASS PRESSURE CAN

PLEDGE DEFENSE TO
SCOTTSBORO BOYS

NEW YORK-Large response from
locals of the American Federation of
Labor in many parts of the country,
to an appeal for funds for the Scots
boro New Trial is reported by. the
committee in charge Of raising the
emergency fund.
1--WE have been receiving money
from many locals" Miss Belle Taub,
secretary of the fund committee,
whose headquarters are at Room 430,
80 E. 18th ST., said today These
are mostly from those locals COM
posed of low-paid, unemployed, or
part time workers. This response is
quite parallel to that made so gem
erously by workers unemployed for
years, who have shared their last
small funds to help save the Scots
boro boys from legal or extra-legal
lynching.
Bakers Poor But Contribute
A letter from Bakery and Con-
feetionery Workers, International
Union OF America, Local 100 of Me-
tuchen, N. j., received In the Ene-
gency Fund office, reads:
eve ourselves are so low on funds,
but because we believe the Scottsboro
boys should be freed, that from our
hearts, we send you one dollar and
hope your efforts will free them"
Local Union 435, Montgomery, Ala
bama, sends one dollar saying, -. we
would send more if conditions were
better but will do as best we can to
help save the boys. This little will
help. Hoping they will come over the
top"

to the Yorking-class of the entire
world. And so the workers heed their
appeal and raise it in slogan which
is rallying millions throughout the

Bourbon Culture Is Lynch Culture
Discussing the feeling among tina

member said that the trial has tends

bers OF the ruling class" he said, ARE
among the most outspoken defend-
ers Of the lynch system. They are.
not interested in the guilt or in-

that the entire system Of Negro op-
preston is at stake and they are
determined to defend it to the last

talk about new civil war.
These people state quite frankly
that the 14th and 18th amendments

by the North after the CiVil War and
should be repealed.
"As Tor the workers. and farmers,
most of these poor whites have been

Workers Who Read of

Raised Issue

NEW YORK.-A group of militant
workers in the Bronx, upon reading in
the Daily Worker of the serious lynch
danger facing the nine Scottsboro
boys went to the nearest assenablage
of people in the vicinity to adopt a
resolution of protest.
The. nearest gathering to them was
the Senway Theatre, Claremont
Pkwy. and Washington Ave. They
demanded Of the manager the right
to speak to the audience. It was
granted.
There were 1000 in the movie. One
of the workers got up on the stage
and told his mission and proposed a
resolution to be sent to Decatur, Ala,
and to Governor Miller at Montgom-
cry, Ala, demanding the protection
of the nine boys from lynch mobs, a
change Of venue to Birmingham, and
their immediate unconditional re-
lease. The audience received his
words and resolution with applause
and the resolution was adopted.

tant workers! Raise everywhere the

their heads up" he said. They are
aroused. and determined to fight for
their rights. The Scottsboro case
has welded them together and given
them new dignity, new realiza-
ton Of their strength.
Tribute To Negro Witnesses
"A striking example of this was
the wonderful way in which the Negro
witnesses conducted themselves. Their
dignity. their unfaltering testimony
in the face Of persistent insults and
bullying by Attorney General Knight
made them striking contrast to the
prosecution witnesses despite the fact
that the latter had obviously been

and courage of a people that for the
first time had found a voice, for the
first time was speaking out against
oppression, conscious of the support
of tens of thousands of white work

The John Reed Club member
whose name cannot for obvious
reasons be revealed, declared that
most of the Negro witnesses were ac-
tually taking their lives into theil
hands by testifying. There were
