RACKETEER TRIES
TO IMPERS0NATE
SCOTTSBORO BOY
|. L. D. Warns Against
Imposters

BUFFALO. N. Y, May pa young
Negro racketeer posing as Haywood
Patterson, travelling with a young
little girl who posed as Ruby Bates,
has just been exposed by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense here last week.
The Negro boy, telling wild story
of escape. had apparently collected
large amounts Of money in various
cities. travelling fast, pretending to be
fugitive and therefore sscretive, be-
fore he came to Buffalo.
Quickly Exposed
Workers flocked to the I. L. D. here
when he and the girl came to town.
TO offer help. He Yves quickly exposed
after making a long statement of his
experiences in the Scottsboro case, not
single point of which conceded with
the facts of the case, and ducked out
of town with his girl companion.
The racketeering methods used by
the boy were compared by the I. L. D.
to the schemes used by many other
racketsers, including persons holding
themselves out as representing Dem
ocratic organizations, ministers, and
many others, who have collected
thousands of dollars from workers all
over the country on the false state
ment that it was for Scottsboro de-
Tense.
In small number of cases, humid
reds Of workers, enraged by this dup
licity, have forced the racketeers, once
exposed, to turn over this stolen
money to the International Labor
Defense or the National Scottsboro
Action Committee, the only two or
CARNATIONS now authorized TO collect
funds for the Scottsboro defense.
Guard Against Racketeers
Strong measures are being taken by
the I. L. D. to see that no bona fide
collector ever goes out without direct
credentials from the organization,
and to force turning over of the
money which has already been COL
lected under false pretenses by irres-
ponsible persons. Daily information
reaches the I. L. D. of instances of
racketeering on Scottsbero all over
the country.
The international Labor Defense
calls on all workers and synlpathisers
to send funds for the Scottsboro de-
Tense directly to it. Money is badly
needed to carry on the legal and mass
defense steps to save the lives of the
Scottsboro boys which the I. L, D,
has undertaken.
Funds should be sent to the In
ternational Labor Defense. Room $50,

Boy Makes 20 Cents a
Day Picking Coal on River Barge

said quietly. Then he added: tits
bad enough to have to get coal to
keep your kids warm y
He got up quickly apparently fear
full that I would take his picture and
leaving the rest of his coal pile,
walked away. A ten-yesr old boy
swooped down upon 1t for his own
bag.
THE barge captains sit in front of
their cabins smoking. They do
not interfere with these hordes. Some
feel sorry for them and those who
do not have learned that men who
are cold and hungry will not be de-
pied some things. There was cap
tain this past winter who never let
them on board When cold spell
came and he noored to the dock
with a capacity load of thousand
tons of stove coal some fifteen black
and white gnomes from the tene-
rnents swsrmed aboard. Their homes
we're cold and they would not wait
until the barge was unloaded before
trying to get coal.
The captain ordered them off but
they paid no attention to him. Some
of them worked in pairs, one filling
the sack and the other receiving it
ON the dock. The barge master
seized wooden club and brandished
it.
when Men Are Cold and Hungry.
They say he never knew how it
happened but hands surrounded him
and he found himself in the icy water
crying for help. A nearby barge
captain rescued him and gave him
dry clothes.
When men are cold and hungry,
said the wTlpkled old captain who
told ME the story, "ya never know
what they'll do Mel always lets
en- have The coal left in the matches.
1t don't do me no good and they need
it,"
And a sad-faced Negro who was
sitting a pile OF coal on the dock
nodded his head
They'd a-bin lot Of us starved
to death this winter If 1t wasn't for
this COAL, he explained. we gifts
a quarter a bag-sonesimes 20 cents

BY JOHN L. SPIVAk.


AT the foot OF e5th Street and the
n East River, where sewers empty
into the oily water, there is a spaci-
Gus dock to which coal barges are
almost always moored Sometimes
there are dozens of boats there and
always when the barges come word
is flashed TO the nearby tenements
that coal is being unloaded 1t is
then that ragged, unkempt crews Of
Negroes and white leave the holes
they call home and scurry to the dock
with their bVrlap sacks to fill them
with coal for their stoves. When
luc,. is with them they get few ex-
ira bags to sell to those too old to
Chamber up and down the barge's
ladder.
There is never day that passes
by that this scene is not enacted here
and on a hundred other coal docks
in New York hsrbor. Sometimes in
winter when the snow is frozen on
the ratings and decks are as slip
perry as polished glass, man slips
and falls into the water. Sometimes
one is drowned. II is the price the
poor pay for trying to keep warm.
Dive Into Hold.
There is an unwritten law on the
coal docks that the diggers for coal
shall not board a barge until the
huge steam shovels that unload the
hundreds of tons into the coal COM
pany bins have scooped up all they
cen. 1t is then that the signal is
given and the waiting men and boys
descend into the hold and with broom
and shovel sweep up the dust and
the bits of coal left. They are like
a lot of ants attacking some choice
morsel OF food in their busting hur-
ry They want TO get as much as
possible and be ready for the next
barge which is being unloaded.
They are strange sure-footed
creatures, these men coming up with
S0-pound sacks loaded with dust and
coal. 1t does not take long before
the boat is swept clean
Those who hope to fill few extra
sacks to sell to their neighbors bring
their bags tied around their waists
with a rope. When they have scooped

accept the line of least resistance.

I read in the Daily Worker. dated

students and intellectusls to take
part in the cultural and social ac-
tivities That's all right, but why
not invite one of the most important

I simply write these few lines for
the benefit of those who do not I'M
derstand, and who neglect the soldier.
Nine speakers out of ten never refer
to the soldiers when they address
audiences. Who keeps in power the
Hooligan Hitler? The soldiers.
Lenin always mentioned in his
speeches the soldiers, but in the
U. S. A. the soldier is very much
neglected.
Whether it is in clubs or mass
meetings, the soldier should never
be forgotten.

capitalists.
In another place he points out that
probably after months the people
win loose Faith in their God" and
their faith in Roosevelt.
No, fellow workers, the faith in
Roosevelt will be broken not by itself,
but by exposing every phrase of
RooseYelts demagogy and modifying
the workers to struggle against the
Roosevelt hunger program.
We must not make religion the
main issue. Large sections of work
ers are under the influence of reli-
gion. Rather the main issue is to
fight for the demands facing the
workers and in this way we will build
the workers organizations.
We raise these points of criticism
in a comradely way, With the inter
est of making our program clear. We
welcome you into our ranks to Join
the Communist Party, to show Others
to follow your example.
Dear Sir:
wrote to the National once of the
Unemployed Council some time ago
for information relative to the orga-
niZation of a council in Okemah, and
they gave me your name and address
and advised me to get in touch with
you, so l sent one letter to you and
it was returned to me, but saw your
address in the last issue Of the
Guardian, so I am hoping to reach
you this time.
Since writing to the National Office,
the Farmers Holiday Association has
sprung up in this county, and has
become strong in membership. We
know the leaders of that organiza-
ton are just mislesders of the mas
ses, and that they can lead only so
far while the masses will continue
on to higher degree of militancy,
so as there are a few Communists
inside the organization who are just
waiting until the present leaders can
lead no further to step in and get
control. Do you not think we should
concentrate our efforts along that
line.
Instead of trying to set I'D separate
and distinct organizations, there are
few of us fellows here who have
never been in contact with the Com
munist Party, but have been doing
our bit Just the same. AS to myself,
I was raised socialist, but after
little thinking for myself, l can see
that the Communist is the only true
socialist and that we must have the
dictatorship of the proletariat instead
of representative form Of political
government.
have bsen the secretary of the So
cialist Party here since it was orga-
nized, but can go with them no fur
therA l have been told there is a
local of the Communist Party in
Oklahoma City. If this is true and
you can put us in touch with the
secretary, we will appreciate it very
much.
There are two things, which, more
than any others l:eep us from con-
verting the people here to Conmu-
nism and these are: the peoples I'M
reasonable faith in their god, and
their faith in Roosevelt. But Rooss-
welt Will soon lose the confidence,
and after they have prayed for somc-
thing to eat for about six months
without receiving an answer to their
prayers, they may become aware of
the fact that they will have to be
their own savior If they are to be
found worth saving.
Yours for the revolution.

Oliver Mine Co.
Refuses to Pay
Tax; Relief Cut

HIBBIEG, Mimi, May 21.-The
Oliver Mining Company, control
ling most of the iron mines on the
Mesaba Range, announced that it
would refuse to pay its next in
StalIment of taxes, about five mill
lion dollars, due in October. The
Steel Trust has been agitating and
lobbying for long time for reduc-
ton in taxes, and this latest move
Is part of this campaign.
While farmers and unemployed
workers are being evicted and fore
closed because they are unable to
pay rent, mortgages, or taxes, there
is no indication that the Farmer
Labor adm 'nistrati6n of Minnesota
headed by Garvin Olson will do
anything to prosecute the Oliver
Mining Company.
The failure OF the Oliver Mining
Company TO pay taxes will mean
drastic reduction in the n, serably
small amounts Of relief given by
the local and state government.
