NEW YORK.-Samuel S. Liebo-
witz, chief trial counsel for the In
ternational Labor Defense in the
Scottsboro case, has withdrawn
completely from the case, following
the announcement that Walter H.
noted constitutional au-
thority, would take the appeals in
the cases to the United States SUI
preme Court, the LID. announced
yesterday.
The decision to accept the offer
of Mr.. PoPllak, who brilliantly con-
Quoted the first successful appeal
to the U. S. Supreme Court in 1882,
was communicated to Mr.. Liebo-
WITT on Oct. l. the LID. said. Mr..
Liebowitz, whose ambition it was to
have his name on the appeals
even though he Is in no sense a
constitutional attorney was ex-
tremely angry at that time that he
had not been chosen for this work,
for which he is totally untitled. He
has never In his whole career con-
Quoted such an appeal.
His announcement Of complete
withdrawal from the case was
timed to come with the announce
ment by the Alabama Court Oct. 8
of its refusal to entertain motion
for rehearing in the cases of Hey
wood Patterson and Clarence
Norris. 1t was accompanied
by vicious, Slanderous attacks upon
the International Labor Defense,
which for three and a half years
has saved the lives of the Scots
boro boys-a fact which Mr.. Liebo-
WITT has been forced time and
again to admit. The LID. engaged
Liebowitz as the best available law
yer at the time for the Scottsboro
trials, and is now continuing the
legal and mass fight for the lives
and freedom of the Scottsboro
boys engaging the best available
constitutional attorney for the le-
gal end OF the fight in the court OF

Court.
Personal Ambition Scored

the personal ambitions of any at

Convention on Record
to Gust Unions for
Discrimination
BY Bin Dunno
'sily Worker Special Correspondent


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. s.
The Negro question surged into this
session of the 54th annual conven-
ton of the A. F. Of L. and shook
the whole official set-up right to its
heels. Three resolutions on the
Negro question that precipitated
the demonstration, amazing the en-
tire officialdom and all observers,
we're reported out by the organi-
cation committee.
The rank and file A. F. of l..
committee has introduced resolu-
tons against the ng-established
discrimination against workers by
many National and International
unions affiliated to the A. F. of L.
But the resolution on which the
discussion hinged, is known as No.
141. The delegate body oyerruled

mittee on this resolution and forced

pulsion of all unions by the A. F.
Of L. Executive Council if they do
not comply with the demand for
the discontinuance of all discri-
mination against Negro workers.
The tremendous pressure on re-
formist Negro leaders by the mass
campaign around the Scottsboro
issue, the pressure resulting from
tremendous popular support of such
struggles as those of the Tuscaloosa
sharecroppers and the militant
battles of Negro metal miners in
Alabama, all Of which are recent
enough to retain their influence
among the rank and file from
which many of these delegates
come, compelled A. P. Randolph of
the Sleeping Car Porters Union to
arise and make what can only be
called an eloquent and passionate
speech in favor of resolution No.
141.
Resolution Carried
The reception given Randolph's
speech by the delegate body was
such that Hutchinson, head of the
Carpenters Union was impelled, of
course because he is engaged in a
bitter official battle with the

resolution.
BY q viva voce vote the resolu-
ton carried. What the official de-
cision in regard to its being car
ried will be remains in doubt.
But there can be no question that

Sedmen! Close
All Shipping
Halls!
An Editorial

along Cne enClre AIIdHIlC
Coast will commence closing
down the shipping halls and
shipping shark agencies as
the first step in the marine
strike which will begin on
Monday under the leadership
of the Joint Strike Prepare
tons Committee.
The question arises, there
fore, in the minds Of all
workers - marine workers,
workers in all industries, or
gained and unorganized
workers - as to what they
can do concretely to bring
about the strike and make it
successful.
First of all, every seaman,
licensed officer, radio officer,
longshoreman and harbor
worker in the Atlantic and
Gulf ports, who are inter
ested in improving the condi-
tons on the ships and docks,
should rally to the strike
halls of the Joint Strike
Preparations Com mitt e e
early this forming and
march out in mass formation
to close all the shipping halls
and demand that rank and
file controlled centralized
shipping bureaus be set up
to take charge of all ship
ping.
The key port in the strike
will be the largest one-New
York. All activities today will
be directed from the tenn
porary strike headquarters
at 140 Broad Street. Every
marine worker on the New
York waterfront, regardless
of his union or political affil-
iation, should rally at this
headquarters today to join
the mass marches to close the
shipping halls.
Workers from other indus
tries, those not connected
directly with the shipping
industry, should understand
that this fight of the mari
time workers is also their
fight. All workers should
unite with the marine work
ers this morning in the task
of closing the halls. Workers
in all unions should contrib
ute all the funds possible to
the Joint Strike Preparations
Committee.
The unemployed have a
special role to play. Their
voices should be the most
militant on the question of
abolition of the shipowner-
controlled hiring halls. A
centralized shipping bureau
will mean a rotary system of
hiring-jobs for the jobless.
The unemployed must be in
the forefront of the struggle
to close the halls.
Officers and radio men,
who do not hire through the
shipping bureaus, but get
berths on ships through the
company offices and the
"static" halls, should raise
the slogan of boycotting the
company Offices and the
Static halls and set UP
picket lines in front of them
These are the major tasks
confronting the workers ir
the ports today. But in the
very forefront of this strug,
gle to close the bureaus, Civ
ing guidance, leadership ano
physical assistance, must be
members of the Communist
Party.
The Communists must be
the first ones on the picket
lines. The main task of the
Communists in the ports is
to see to it that the shipping
halls are closed today.
There is a tremendous
number of leaflets and strike
bulletins to be distributed te
the maritime workers. Com
munist Party members mus
work most actively in plac

H.. F. McELRoY AND MISS MARY McELRoY

Judge H. F. McElroy, city man.
ager of Kansas City, Mo-, where
he emerged triumphant recently
after a bitterly contested election
in which three men were shot, is
in Washington today with his
attractive daughter, Mary, who
was principal in kidnapping case
about a year ago and was res
cued from the kidnapping band
after her father paid them $780,
900.
The judge, at his hotel today,
said he had come here mainly
because he thought his daughter
would like the trip, and that they
would go on to New York after
two days in the Capital.
His city, he said, had obtained
a $1,500,000 grant from PWA for
municipal auditorium, and he
intended To COL on Col. H. M.
Waite, of PWA, an old friend,
but that transaction, he said, was
closed, and he would not have
had any reason to make a trip
here because of it. The presence
of the Governor of the Kansas
City reserve bank here at the
same time had no significance,
he said.
No NOn-Partisan
Judge McElrov said his daugh-
ter had been kidnapped from her
own home, in broad daylight,
during the morning, about two
hours before she was to meet
him for lunch.
Two men came to the door Of
the house, he said, while she
was in the bath, and had gained
entrance by telling the servant
The Washington times., 1934-05-07

who answered the door that they
had come to deliver some mer'
chandise.
AS for the recent elections,
he said he had served eight
years as city. manager and is
now beginning his third four
year term. He had no special
reason for wanting to be city
manager, he said, except that
maybe some people didn't want
him to have the job.
Judge McElroy said he had
never felt that his handling of
city affairs should be nonpar
tisan. He said.

81 am a Democrat. Nothing
in the law says that the ad-
