POIGNANT DRAMA ATPOLI'S TO-DAY
The White Parade Head- ing Varied Bill, Distinct

 'i1he White Parade' may safely be described as an extraordinary picture. It is a gripping and a poignant drama, and the manner of it's presentation-buoyatlt, easy, skillfGl-4-is Q distinct contribution to screen history.
 Loretta Young offers a Inasterly performance as the young student nurse who is the heroine. The film follows her schooling from the day of her enrolment, until just grad uated, she has to make her choice between the man she loves, John Boles, and the service whose true meaning has become every day more clear to her.
 John Boles contributes splen- did characterization as the rich young suitor who, baffled by the elusive secret of these girl nurses, seeks to persuade her that her life lies with him. There are lnemor- able performances also by Dorothy Wilson, Muriel Kirkland and As- ,trid Allwyn, among the hetoine's comrades, and by Jane Darwell and Sara Haden, as veteran nurses who ares their superiors.
 On the same program there Is also as an added treat another of the very popular Dumbbell letters which caused so much hilarity at their las tshowings at Polls and this one contains many more of real genuine laughs and fun, then an "Our Gang" comedy and other selected shorts will all tend to make an outstanding show.
 Starting Wednesday at Polls another of the now wamous double feature programs which have be- come associated with this popular theater will be puresented and this will be made up of Gloria Swanson and John Boles, with the later singing as you have never heard him before and in a musical pie ture from the successful stage show of the same name Music in the Air" and as the co-feature there will be Carole Lombard, Chester Morris and Nat Pendleton in "The Gay Bride"

Negro Worker
Not a Suicide.
Group Claims
Investigation Made By
LID. and L.S.N.R. in
Buffalo Case

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 24.-Evi-
dence that Earl Wilson, 27-year old
Negro dock worker whom police say
they found hanging in his cell dead
on July IL, did not commit suicide
but was murdered by police, has
been uncovered by an investigation
made by the International Labor
Defense and the League of Struggle
for Negro Rights.
Wilson had been arrested without
warrant on a charge of second
dSSree assault. The medical exam
liner had pronounced his death as
suicide. The workers committee,
however, found that Wilson had
been severely beaten by police after
his arrest. and that though Wilson
was found with a leather belt
around his neck, he was known to
have always worn suspenders. No
marks of any kind were found on
his neck.
The committee forced the District
Attorney to agree to an autopsy by
a doctor chosen by it, which re-
vealed that Wilson had died of a
broken neck. No proof of suicide
was given.
The I. L. D. and the L. S. N. R,
are trying to find three prisoners
who were near Wilson'S cell when
he died, and who had been forced
to sign statements withdrawing the
acts of the police.

Working Class Groups
Are Urged to Elect
Delegates Now

NEW YORK.-In an appeal adj
dressed to all working class organi-

ence on Work, Relief and Unem-

delegates to a mass delegation of
1000 which will present the de-
mands of the unemployed workers,
the poor farmers and veterans to
Gov. Lehman, demanding their i'm
mediate adoption by the present
special session Of the state legisla-
ture.
AL delegates names and addresses
should be sent to the Committee
Offices at 20 E. goth St., New York
City. Delegates for upstate cities
and towns will meet with the New
York City delegation at 1856 South

LIKING of 1000 delegates from the
state representing employed and
unemployed workers, workers in the
trade unions, veterans, farmers and
small home owners organizations.
The committee, citing the refusal of
Gov. Lehman to include any work

session of the state legislature, has
put forward the following demands:
1.-Enactment of the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill by
the state.
2.-Enactment of the Workers

provides for the suspension of all
evictions and for a moratorium

Laundry workers Strike

Especial to the Daily Worker)
MINNEAPOLIS, July 24.-After
several weeks of fruitless negotia-
lions with the laundry owners in
an effort to settle their own griev-
ances, Local 1905 of the Laundry
Workers and Dry Cleaners Union
struck this morning. Together with
their own demands, the workers in
the local declared their solidarity
with the striking truckmen and de-
manded the removal of Police Chief
Johannes and Mayor cambridge.
The strike resolution declared:
Not a wheel shall be turned, not
a shirt ironed, not a garment
cleaned" until these demands are
achieved.
The strike action was voted in
direct defiance of William Green,
president of the A. F. Of L., who
wired that the charter would be
revoked if sympathetic action was
voted. After the wire was read, the
workers voted to strike. There are
about 3,4O0 laundry workers and
cleaners in the city with about 1000
in the union.
The Business Agent Of the Laun-
dry Workers local, declaring that
all plants had been closed, today
solicited the aid Of the Unemploy-
m e nj Councils in maintaining
picket lines at all establishments.
The action of the laundry workers,
however, does not represent a gen.
eral policy of the local A. F. of L.
leadership, which is trying to pre-
vent the growing solidarity strike
actions of other unions with the
striking truckmen.

BY GRACE LUMPKN

Author Of ITO Make My Bread"
At some time during my
education in public schools l
was taught a poem with
these lines in it: "Stone walls
do not prison make, nor iron
bars a cage"
[ suppose this poem indi-
Gated that if a person had a soul
which was big enough it could re-
main free and happy while the body
was persistently subjected to all the
deteriorating effects of close con-
f1nement, monotonous or bad food,
insects and vermin, and the Spirit
to loneliness, indignity and misery.
This is a beautiful sentiment, but
I have never heard of man or
woman who has asked to be put
into Jail in order to prove it.
However, I know many who have
consciously risked a Jail sentence,
even death. for a principle, be-
lief. Recently I have been CORE
spending with one of these. He is
Angelo Herndon. a young Negro
who risked his life to obtain unem-
ployment relief for the poor Ne
groes and whites of Atlanta,
Georgia. He is in Fulton Tower
Prison, with a sentence of 20 years
hanging over him. He has been
there % months, suffering indigni-
ties, privation and loneliness. The
iron bars and the stones are there,
and they make a prison.
1t is hard in a few brief words
to tell what a Southern prison is
like, especially for Negro. 1t is
not only the confinement. The
Scottsboro boys are in a more
modern building than Angelo Hern-
don but, like him, they have been
subjected to the grossest brutalities
John Howard Lawson, recently re-
turned from visit to both Hern-
don and the Scottsboro boys, has
reported the cruelties practiced on
these prisoners.
Angelo Herndon, confined in the
Jail at Atlanta, writes of this treat
ment. But he also writes with
pleasure about the release of other
workers. and with concern about
those who are still in prison. In
this sense, he goes beyond the
bounds of his prison-that he is
not concerned wholly with himself
but is continually thinking of others
in this country, in Germany, in
other places, who have risked their
lives or their freedom just as he
did.

Mayor and Police in PrOvocati0n
MINNEAPOLIS, July 24.-Mayor
cambridge and Police Chief Jo-
names are pursuing the most pro-
vocative tactics as the strike of the
Minneapolis truck drivers enters it's
second week. Despite the state
ments of Local 754 that deliveries
to hospitals and other such urgent
deliveries would not be interfered
with, Police Chief Johannes is pro-
viding huge conveys of police, ac-
companied by fanfare of publicity
on all such trucks.
Yesterday some 30-odd trucks
were moved under police convoy.
Today the same tactics are followed.
One truck-load supplied to General
Hospital was accompanied by some
sixty police, armed with shot guns
and rifles.
Clearly at the behest of the
union busting Citizens Alliance,
cambridge and Johannes are try
ing to provoke a repetition of last
Friday murderous assault. While
these tactics are followed by city
officials, Federal mediators are try
ing with the help of Governor
