PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.-Hav-

Unemployment Councils of N Tort h
Philadelphia took steps to push
their demands for more relief for
unemployed workers and repre-
sentation on the County Relief
Board made to the city officials
several days ago.
Last week when 10 workers
massed to present the demands i'm
portant concessions were won i'm
mediately when Mrs. Marshall, Of
the local station at 18th and Allie
gheny SITS, was forced to grant food
orders at once to II needy families
and promised quick Investigations
of any cases brought by the coun-
ellis. Recognition of the Unemploy-
ment Councils and representation
on the local supervisors board was
also granted.
The Councils won other demands
including no Negro discrimination,
separate relief for single workers,
coal for each needy family and
promises to aid the workers in their
struggle against evictions and fore
closures.

West Coast Lawyers
Approve of Gallagher
as Justice Candidate

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Aug. IS
Grover Johnson, recently associated
with Leo Gallagher in the defense
Of workers arrested during a demon
stration on June 1, and a score of
other attorneys have endorsed Gal
lagher's candidacy for Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court.
Johnson in his statement of en-
dorsement declares:
"The Interpretation given to law
Is that which is required by the
dominant economic interests, and
all the resources of intelligence are
brought to bear to make the inter
probation seem the voice of i'm
partial reason and disinterested
justice.
Leo Gallagher's interest in and
his unfinching activities for the
suppressed minorities has made him
feared all over the world. He has
time after time exposed this ap-
parent voice of impartial reason
and disinterested justice for what it
is: bigotry, Toryism and privilege.
HE is the only person running
who, in my opinion, is fitted to be
a judge for a majority rather than
for privileged few"
Gallagher's candidacy is also en-
dorsed by Theodore Gottsdanker,
Hugh E. Macbeth, Carl Minton, Os-
car Moss, Mortimer Vogel, Clore
Warne, Spencer Austrian, Mary
Brownstein, Loren Miller, ]. Allan

White Landlords and Police
Promoted Ashland Lynching

ASHLAND, Miss, Aug. 14.-The
double lynching yesterday of Rob-
ert Jones and Smith Houey was an
act of brutal vengeance on the part
of local white landlords and law
officers against two militant Negro
farm laborers, it was learned today.
The history of the attempt to
murder these two Negroes goes
back for more than a year. 1t in
wolves not only the unsolved STAY
ing Of a white landlord, notorious
for his brutal treatment of Negroes,
but the militant self-defense of
Jones, who shot and fatally
wounded Deputy Sheriff Mason
when the latter invaded his home
without a warrant. The double
lynching was enacted within $50
feet of the spot where Mason was
shot, their captors bringing the two
Negro victims from different parts
of the county to Michigan City to
dramatic their bloody vengeance.
Jones had been convicted and
sentenced to hang, but the Supreme
Court was forced to reverse the
verdict and order a new trial on
the ground that the officer had no

Cooperative Colony
Denounces Eviction
of Negro Familie.

NEW YORK Jim Crowism and
racial segregation are denounced
and full support pledged to the
mass fight against the eviction of
Negro families from 1836-40 Uni
versity Ave-, Bronx, in a resolution
adopted unanimously by the Board
of Directors of the Workers Colony
Corporation, $500 Bronx Park East.
The resolution, which scores the
ruling last week of Magistrate
Merriam of the 161st st. Court up
holding the eviction orders, thereby
legalizing segregation and discrim-
ination against Negroes, declares:
1--WE look upon this action as an
expression of hatred, of Jim-Crow-
ism and persecution OF the OPP
pressed Negro people. We pledge
our support to the Negro tenants
of University Ave. in their just
struggle against their Negotiating
landlords"

right to invade Jones' home with
out a search warrant.
Jones and Houey were delivered
over to two gangs of masked lynch
ers by two groups of deputy sher-
ifs, who were bringing Jones from
Tupelo and Houey from Holly
Springs. In neither case was any
attempt made to defend the pris-
onerS.
A move to whitewash the lynch
ers was begun today by District At
torney Fred Belk, who brought for
ward the uspual post-mortem claim
that the victims had confessed" to
the crimes charged. A coroner's
jury will meet today to return the
usual verdict of death at the
hands Of persons unknown"
The Daily Worker calls on all
opponents of lynching to answer
this brazen attempt to exonerate
the lynchers with a flood of pro-
tests to District Attorney Pelk
Ashland, Miss, and Governor Sen
net Couner, jackson, Miss, demand
ing an end to the lynch terror and
death to the lynchers.

Partial Gains
Won By Strike
In Pekin Plant
800 Distillery Workers
Return, with Union
Recognized

PEKIN. Ill, Aug. Is. = In the
second strike within three months,
300 men and women workers of The
American Distillery Company, after
four days of continuous militant
picketing, returned to work with
partial victory as the reward for q
100 per cent shutdown.
The issue in the strike was the
firing of an active union worker
a fireman-by the company on the
pretense Of "inefficiency" The
complete shutdown of the plant
within three hours after this dis
charge was indicative of the grow
ing solidarity of the workers.
This second strike of the same
workers shows the growing dissatis-
faction with the agreement reached
in the first strike between the A. f.
of L. officials, Governor Homer, and
the mayor of Pezin, with the Amer
lean Distillery Company. The CEN
trail demands of the workers were
recognition of the Distillery Work
ers Union, a closed shop and wage
increases.
With cunning promises Of the A.
F. of L. officials, Schoenberg and
Graham, and the threats of Cover
nor Horner that the National
Guards would be called out, the
workers returned to work with rec
ignition of the union, and depart
ment grievance committees, but no
closed shop nor wage increases.
With such an agreement the con-
ditions of the workers became
worse, speed-up more intense, and
numerous loopholes in the agree
ment made possible firing and dis
elimination against the best of
union men and women. 1t was this
condition that precipitated the sec
ond strike.
Although in the second strike the
workers elected their own commit
tee to negotiate for a settlement.
their lack of experience and the
influence of a local Republican pol
itician and attorney prevented a
complete victory of closed shop
and immediate settlement of the
thirty grievances and demands for
mulated by the workers. With the
active participation of the Unem-
ployment Council and members of
the Communist Party on the picket
lines, the betrayal of the strike was
made impossible, and a partial VIC
tory was attained.

TailOrs Defeat
Plot To Crush
Militant Union

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.-The
custom tailors' section of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union
has just thoroughly defeated the
conspiracy between contractors and
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers Of America miSleaders to smash
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union and force custom tail
ors into the clutches Of the takers.
Last week contractors refused to
take work from all shops not
signed up with the Amalgamated.
AS a result over two hundred work
ers were locked out. The N. T. w.
I. U. Immediately picketed those
merchant tailors who fell in with
the plan.
The Amalgamated tried to break
the strike, by issuing labels to all
shops being picketed. They caused
the arrest of four pickets, and had
L. Weiss, N. T. w. I. U. organizer,
arrested on warrant. At hear
ing before Magistrate Dougherty
the Amalgamated attorney fought
to have Weiss put under q peace
bond to eliminate him from the
fight. Weiss refused, and was held
for court in $500 bail, on charges
Of threatening violence. The case
comes up Friday morning, and
workers are urged to pack the
court room.
The picketing of the merchant
tailors shops was not eased by the
arrests, and the contractors were
forced to re-employ N. t. w. 1. U.
members.
