moment our exposure of the Leib-
owitz attacks and their purposes
without for one moment surrender
ing the independent role of tbs
Communist Party and the I. L. D.
we must now make our main OBJ
jective the building of the broadest
united front. The united front
this is our best weapon against the
refcTmists and for the liberation OF
the boys.
In this fight for united front Of
all forces sincerely interested in
fighting to free the boys, our main
slogan is Unconditional release OF
all the Scottsboro Boys" On this
slogan there can be no compromise
or bargaining.
The united front set up through
the National Scottsboro- Herndon
Action Committee must be imme-
diately strengthened and broadened
Local united front committees
should be built up and commune
cations made with the National
Committee at 1916 Seventh Ave,
N. Y. c.
Broad united front conferences
of all supporters of the Scottsboro
fight should be stimulated and Or
ganized.
With this slogan as our main
weapon we must make formal Of
fers for united front to all locals
Of the so-called American Scots
boro Committee, wherever they ex-
ist. Proposals for Joint action
should be dispatched to the Social
list Party locals, to trade unions, to
Negro church groups, and other
mass organizations.
The appeals are coming before
the Supreme Court, the court
around which have been built the
most illusions.
The GATE of the first exs2ution
has been set for February 6. There
is no time to lose. Act now for the
building of the united front to free
the Scottsboro boys under the So
gan Unconditional Liberation for
All the Scottsboro Boys"

geois publicists, can be understood
best in this light. 1t is obvious that
the liberal" notion that the fight
between LeiboWitz and the LID. is
merely a quarrel" is a miserable
distortion. 1t is, on the contrary,
the struggle between two funda-
mentally opposed lines, two camps,
two class viewpoints. The Leibowitz
attack is only the latest and most
desperate of long series of attacks
which the ruling class has launched
against the working class defense
from the very beginning of the case.
It's very unscrupulousness and des-
peration reflects the class character
and purposes of the Leibowitz at
tack.
The Leibowitz attack is the con-
tinuation, in it's basic tactics and
purposes, of the attack begun by
the Negro reformists led by the
.N.A.A.C.P.
The line of this series of attacks
has always been the same, to strip
the case of its social significance, to
separate the case from the roots Of
national oppression which is the
soil out of which grows the whole
lynch terror, to conceal from the
masses the class character of the
courts, urging the masses to place
their faith in these impartial
courts, to disorganize the mass
movement and turn it away from
militant action. In short, to shrink
the whole struggle and protect the
basis of the ruling class oppression,
to conceal the role of the Federal
government as the organizer and
supporter of the lynch terrorism.
Bargaining" Tactic
From this fundamentally treach-
erous strategy follows their imme-
date tactic in the Scottsboro case.
This explains the line of Leibowitz
and the reformists who have group
ed about him for bargaining" for
a compromise" for negotiation"
with the lynchers in the Scottsboro
case.
Their line is to compromise" in
the sense that they give up COM
pletely the fight for the full and
unconditional release of the boys,
and strive to convince the lynchers
of the benefits to both sides" Of
some kind of horse trading in the
case.
This, as can already be seen in
the moves of the Leibowitz group
supported by the Negro refornists,
takes the form of sacrificing" one
or more of the boys to provide a
loophole for the sentencing of an
other group of the boys, thus split
ting the case.
Thus, this line, under the APP
pearance of practically really
permits the lyncherS to solve the
Problem of the case for them
selves without surrendering one
iOta of their class rule, and per-
mitS the reformists to strengthen
their hold over the masses under
the guise of victory" Actually,
Of course, this line is the worst

there were 80 per cent more on the
relief rolls this October than last.
Green said that 'unquestionably
our relief problem this winter is
the most serious this nation has
ever faced" But he and the other
officials of the A. F. of L. have
done nothing to oppose the Admin
istrations policy of relief cuts in
the face Of needs that are greater
than ever.
AS Green himself points out, "in

ployment, those who have been I'M

once had savings are now wholly

mental in blocking the enactment

measure that would protect all
workers from the ravages of the

down the relief at a time when II
admits that more people are apply
ing for relief Roosevelt, himself,
stated that relief must rest more
and more upon private charity. This
is the aim Of the Human Needs,
Community Chest campaigns
which are going on throughout the
country at the present time. In
these campaigns the workers in the
shops are compelled to donate part
of their earnings. Thus relief for
the unemployed is being raised by
means of a direct tax on the work
ers in the shops and offices.
THE Municipal councils and
legislative bodies also plead the
necessity Of similar economy. They
refuse to tax the rich, but on the
contrary, are putting all kinds Of
taxes on the workers in the form
of sales taxes, taxes on wages,
taxes on users of gas, electricity,
fares, etc.
1T is clear that an offensive
against the whole working class is
now under way and it will be &C
companied by terror to compel the
workers to accept the conditions
that are laid down. In this situa-
ton, 1t is necessary for the work
ing class to be united against the
offensive of the bosses which is
supported by the government.
First of all, the workers on the re-
lief projects must be prepared.
THE National Unemployment
Councils calls upon the workers on
the relief jobs: ~ Immediately to
form committees 81 action; ~ to
organize on the relief projects for
strikes against any reduction in
pay.
AT the same time the workers
in the shops must form similar
committees and organize in the
shops to prevent reductions in pay,
to demand higher wages and that
all relief be provided by taxation of
the employers.
The hypocricy of the govern
ment can best be shown by the
tremendous outlay for war purposes
which amount to nearly two billion
dollars, as well as the more than
eight billion dollars that has been
given to the banks and corpora
tons as subsidies.
This situation makes it still the
more necessary for the workers of
the United States, both employed
and unemployed, Negro and white,
to unite their ranks in the Struggle
for Unemployment and Social In
surance. In spite of the promise of
Roosevelt that Congress will enact
an unemployment insurance bill,
it is clear that this bill will not
provide unemployment insurance to
the present army Of unemployed.
1t will only be an unemployed re-
serves bill for the workers who in
the future may lose their jobs. Our
demand must be made very clear:
The sixteen million unemployed
and their families demand I'm
employment Insurance now by
taxes on the rfcn.
This means an intensified fight
for the Workers Unemployment
and Social Insurance Bill which is
the only genuine unemployment
-a6 sucf-a insurance bill before the
people of the United States.
Shop Workers Concerned
Workers in the shops are just
as concerned with the enactment
of the Workers Unemployment and
Insurance Bill, since if the unem-
ployed are provided with unem-
ployment insurance they cannot be
used as strikebreakers. At the same
time. unemployed members of the
unions will be able to pay their
dues and thus remain in good
standing in the ranks of organized
labor.
