those who yawn when the Holly

refreshing change in the quaint

Romance Is Dominant

WORKERS SCHOOLS
EVERYWHERE TO
TAKE UP CHALLENGE

The Workers Schools of the u. S.
are faced with a most serious prob
lem and challenge. During the re-
cent reign of fascist terror in Cali
fornia, the teachers of the Sacra-
mento, California, Workers School
who were in the forefront of the
struggle against the fascist cohorts
were arrested and charged with
criminal syndicalism. They are
charged with having organized
and assisted in organizing and
knowingly having become a mem
Der of an organization known as
the Workers School"-and of also
belonging to other organizations
such as the Communist Party, etc.
This charge is clearly an attack,
not only as teachers as such but
also against academic freedom, free
speech and dissemination of work.
ing-class knowledge. 1t is also a
sharp attack on all Workers
Schools.
The challenge should be taken up
at once by Workers Schools every
where.
Concretely in what manner?
First, an intensive campaign
must be organized at once for the
political rights of the Communist
Party, the union rights of the Can
merry and Agricultural Workers In
dustrial Union. But for the Work.
ers' Schools there is the specific
task of waging a campaign also for
academic and teaching rights.
Secondly, all Workers Schools
should start a publicity campaign,
draw up resolutions, and send pro-
tests at once to Neil McAllister,
District Attorney, Sacramento, Cali
fornia, and to Governor Frank F.
Merriam, Sacramento, Calf.

have resulted in death. The Jail

fellow prisoners organized a protest
inside. They beat tin cups and tin

doors, they ratified the iron bed

mind a man losing his leg-quietly.
But they could not stand so much
noise. They sent a doctor.
Taylor, together with Alice Burke,
white International Labor Defense
organizer, arrested at the same
meeting was charged with block
ing traffic" disturbing the peace"
and holding a meeting without a
permit" He was tried in a Biz
mingham court and sentenced to
six months on the Alabama road
gang, 500 fine and costs. Because
he has no money to pay the fine
and costs, this is tantamount to a

to the higher courts and has been
upheld by them. His last appeal
will be before the Alabama Supreme

In 1881 his friend Harry Simms was |

that his place was on the side of
his murdered friend. Since that
time he has devoted himself entirely
to revolutionary work.
In November, next month, his
case, pending for two years, comes
up for final appeal before the Ala
bana Supreme Court. This is the
same court which recently upheld |
the death sentence against the
Scottsboro boys. His lawyer refuses
to present his case, and refuses to
turn the records over to any other

~ wet day in Alabama. Thousands
of Negro and white workers and
sharecroppers whole families, old
men, women with babies in their
arms-trudged through the mud
and the rain from a radius of ten
miles around Birmingham. They
came to demand unemployment re-
lief, free lunches for their school
children. They came to protest
against starvation. They came to
protest against evictions and against
cutting off their water.
The bosses Of Birmingham were
afraid of these desperate people who
came to them asking for bread.
They had good reason for their
fears. This was the first time in
the history of Alabama that Negro
