Two To Face
Trial in South
On Tuesday
Especial to the Daily workerl

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. q
Raymond Harris, Communist leader
and Lester Johnson, secretary of the
Local Arrangements Committee for
the National Congress on Unem-
ployment Relief and Social Insur-
ance, face trial Tuesday morning
before Judge Henry Martin at City
Hall on charges of violating the
anti-working class Downs Law"
prohibiting the possession of revo-
iutionary literature.
The charges followed the action
of police in raiding Harris room
without a warrant, when several
copies of the October Communist
were allegedly seized.
A number of A. F. of L. local
leaders of the rank and file move
ment, several preachers and masses
of workers, white and Negro, are al
ready protesting this new drive
against the rights Of workers to Or
ganize and police attempts to ter
rorize the movement for memploy-
ment and social insurance. The
Birmingham International Labor
Defense is urging a nationwide
flood Of protests to Judge Martin,
Commissioner w. o. Downs and
Chief of Police Hollums with de-
mands for the release of the defen-
dants and repeal of the vicious
Downs law"

mingham News called Hunting
Communists may be overdone."
The growth of bloody fascism in
Birmingham would not be possible
were is not for the aid and support
given to the fascists by the Negro
and white reformist leaders and
above all by number of big off,
Gals in the A. F. of L. In a state
ment issued few weeks ago, Robert
Moore, president of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, said: "Labor's pro-
gram involves first a showdown with
Communism. We intend to go
to bat with the Communist element
which has worked its way into our
organization. A Communist round
up is under way with the vice
presidents of each of the eight Ala
bama districts making personal sur
veys in an effort to definitely spot
offenders who will be summarily
ousted, and their names turned over
to the government authorities"
Behind this piece of police prov
ocation Mr.. Moore proposes a pro-
gram of labor legislation, the main
demand being, according to Mr..
Moore, State Department of La
Dor and appointment of A. F. of L.
bureaucrats for state jobs. Already
it is announced that Mr.. Moore
himself will head the Department
of Labor working with a Democratic
machine whose connections with
the xxx. is more clear every day.
The best exposure of how the A.
F. of L. bureaucrats believe in their
so-called labor program is seen in
connection with the Congress for
Unemployment and Social Insur-
ance. But despite the fact that
dozens Of A. F. of L. locals have
endorsed the H. r. 1898 Bill and
despite the fact that number of
unions and honest union officials
have endorsed the Washington Con-
gress, the Birmingham Trades
Council off1cialdom made violent
attack on the Congress preparations

delegates introduced the question to
the delegates last week.
Next Step in Birmingham
There is no question that the
miners and steel workers of Bir-
mingham are raring for action
against the conditions of starvation
and fascist terror. This places great
tasks and responsibilities on the
Party.
1t is necessary to first and fore
most develop a real united front
movement above all in the trade
unions. The preparations for the
Washington Congress must be used
as the main immediate instrument
for really developing powerful
trade union movement for unem-
ployment insurance by uniting the
rank and file masses against any
misleaders who stand in the way of
this central need of the Birming-
ham trade unionists.

When Albert Scharlan, one of the

the angered group moved toward
him. He fled in a wild dash over
lawns and back fences and through
alleys. The workers and small home
owners moved inside, using dupli-

they found James Cannon, George
Wagner and Chester Stoll, the other
detectives, and drove them out. The

Especial to the Daily worker,


FARRELL, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE In

release from Jail of Leon Callow,
secretary Of the Niles Local of the
Trumbull Unemployed WORKER
Union, after he had spent ten days
in jail on charges Of conspiracy to
overthrow the United States gov
eminent"
Attorney Davis of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense was present
at the hearing before immigration
officers who demand the deporta-
ton of Callow, whose arrest is an
attempt to behead the growing
mass movement of the Niles I'M
employed.
The youngstown, Ohio branch of

night at o'clock at the Central

Communist Party Calls
for Strong Fight on
Terror Plans

to develop the united front of the
unemployed organizations (Unem-
ployment Council, Relief Workers
Union, Hold Carriers Union, etc.
and all workers and other organiza-
tons to lend full support and weight
in the sending of delegates to the
Unemployment and Social Insur-
ance Congress in Washington. In
this connection the whole united
front movement must intensity the
struggle for immediate relief and
the trade union masses must repu-
date Moore who helps the fascists
and the capitalists by his anti Com
munist drives, and instead unite all
union men in a common front for
union recognition, against the COM
pany union and the wage differen-
tial for Birmingham workers.
At the same time all forces cen
tering around the unions and in
volving the broadest masses should
be involved in the struggle against
fascism, for the repeal of the Downs
ordinance, for the DISARMAMENT Of
the xxx. and other fascist bands,
and for the rights of the unions, Of
the working class and the Negro
masses. 1t is clear that the fight for
the Scottsboro boys freedom at this
time must become real pivot in
the whole struggle against lynching
and fascist terror. The Communists
must point out patiently and con-
vincingly that the Scottsboro case
represents not only the central fight
for equal rights for Negroes but also
at the same time a fight for better
conditions and for the rights of the
white workers. We must state boldly
that any one who attacks the Ne
groes, who fights against unity of
the labor movement, is an enemy
Of the white as well as the Negro
workers.
In the present period of develop
ing fascism and the mood Of the
masses to struggle for their own in
terests the task that lies at the bot
tom of all our work is building a
powerful Party in Birmingham,
above all in the big mills, mines and
factories. We must increase our
speed in winning of new militant
Negroes and the fighting white
workers in order to overcome the
lag in our present recruiting drive.
The Communist Party calls on all
workers in the South and all the
workers and organizations through
out the country to flood w. o.
Downs, City Hall, Birmingham, Ala,
with protests demanding the repeal
of the Downs" ordinance, the dis
bandment of the XXX, the freeing
of Harris and Johnson and all other
workers arrested for their revolu-
tionary activity.

Business Organization
Launches Drive Against
Union Labor
By NAT ROSS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. a.
The increased activities of the Ku
Klux Khan and the White Legion
in the past few weeks, the growth
of police terror, the arrest of Ray
Harris, Communist Organizer and
G. L. Johnson, leader of the ar
engagements committee for the
Washington Congress for Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance, the
conviction of militant workers-all
of these fascist developments must
raise an alarm before the working
class of Birmingham.
At the meetings of the South
eastern section of the Chamber of
Commerce the capitalists definitely
planned to sharply attack the living
conditions Of the workers. The big
capitalists decided to fight for the
MIRA. wage differential dover
wages for the South to demand
cutting of unemployed relief, to OPP
pose shorter hours and the recog-
milton of the labor union A con-
crete example of the fight for lower
wages in Birmingham is the de-
mand of the laundry operators for
a reduction in the N.R.A. minimum
wage from 16 2-3 to IA cents an
hour. The drive to lower wages is
seen in the F.E.R.A. order with
drawing the 80 cents minimum for
relief work.
The press says the following re-
garding the cause of this order:
"Mr. Hopkins found on his tour in
the South that there was an actual
shortage of unskilled and domestic
labor largely because that class of
laborers, largely Negroes, could get
more money for less work in the
F.ER.A. This condition was rather
serious in the cotton and tobacco
areas, and employed workers were
bowling because the $40 a day
going to those on relief work was
more than they were getting. THE
drive against the workers is seen
in the plan to cut the relief rolls
in the state from 100000 families
to $4,000.
Illiteracy Increased
An official report made on Bir-
relief says the follow
ing: THE whole picture points to
an increasingly serious relief situ-
alton. The general feeling in the
iron and steel industry is that en-
ployment during the Winter will
remain at about its present level.
The future of the commercial coal
industry does not seem bright :.
To top the whole rotting economic
situation one social fact should be
pointed out, namely that illiteracy
among children of school age has
increased from 10000 to 100000 in
the state since 1882.
