a nationwide campaign for the
passage of the Bill for Negro Rights
and the Suppression of Lynching.
This bill, based upon a draft sub
mitted in May, 1888, by 5000 Scots
boro marchers to the President and
to Congress, is designed to put teeth
into the 18th, 14th and 18th amend
ments to the Constitution.
1t would make discrimination
against the Negro people, in any
walk of life, crime to be punished
by imprisonment or by death, ac-
cording to the seriousness of the Of
Tense. In clear and uncompromis-
ing language, the bill declares that
every person participating in a
lynching is declared to be guilty OF
murder in the first degree and upon
conviction shall be punished by
death.p

Seize Entire Edition
OF Southern Worker

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. g.
The entire August issue of the
Southern Worker, organ of the
Communist Party in the South, was
conf1scated by Birmingham police
yesterday, alter they had been tipped
off by stool pigeon.
Two workers who were loading
the papers into a car we're ar
rested. One was Israel Berlin, who
had been sentenced to six months
on the chain gang and fined 500
the day before for distributing Au-
gust First leaflets, and was out on
bail pending decision on motion
for a new trial, made by the Inter
national Labor Defense. The other
arrested worker was Fred Keith.
Jim Mallory, editor of the South
ern Worker, announced that dup
licate issue would be brought out
Immediately, and plans were made

for a wide distribution.
The charge against Berlin was
criminal anarchism." The prosecu-
ton quoted the following statement
from the leaflet, and the conviction
was made on the strength of this
statement: "if You lie. the CAPT
taljst class do start war we
will unite cur ranks against you,
and use the guns you give us to
drive you from your seats of power,
ard take for our own this land
which we built"
Workers and workers organiza-
tions all over the country are being
urged to enter their protests against
this new attack on I. Berlin, for the
uuashing Of the indictment Of John
Howard Lawson, and for an imme-
date sop to the raids upon workers
homes. Send all protests to w. o.

Gorky Invited
To Attend US.
Anti ar Meet

NEW YORK. ~ Maxim Gorky,
Roman ROLAND and Madame Sun
Vat Sen have been invited to
attend as fraternal delegates to the
second United States Congress
Against War to be held at the end
of September in Chicago, it was
announced yesterday by the Amer
lean League Against War and Fas-
cism.
A statement calling on all or
ganization, trade unions, farm
groups, churches, youth leagues,
veterans, students and professionals
of different political beliefs to
rally their forces in a united front
against fascism and war was issued
by the National Committee Of the
League. The signers include Rob-
ert M. Lovett, DR.. Harry F. Ward,
Lincoln Steffens, Roger Baldwin,
Earl Browder, Prof. George S.
Counts, Dorothy Deter, Annie E.
Gray, Malcolm Cowley, Rev, A.
Clayton Powell, Jr., William Spot
ford, E. C. Lindemann, Rabbi Ed
ward L. Israel, Langston Hughes,
Louis Weinstock, Prof. Colston E.
Warne and Leroy Bowman.
The statement in full:
Two recent events of world inn
portance-the war danger as exem-
plified by the Austrian situation
and the San Francisco general
strike-impels the American League
Against War and FaScism to call
immediate attention to these dan
ger signals and rally all people
against the menacing rise of the
forces of Fascism threatening to
destroy the last remnants OF demo-
cratic rights, as the prelude to
unloosing the horror of new
world war. In our own country
we are witnessing government sup
port of company controlled unions
and the assistance rendered Cali
fornia industrialists by the govern
ment in attempting to transform
san FRANCISCO into an open Snop
town.
"a general terror has been let
loose there against the strikers,
falling hundreds of workers and
their sympathizers, raiding union
halls, smashing newspaper plants
and offices, even raiding churches
and cooperatives who had expressed
sympathy for the strikers. This is
leading our own country on the
road to Fascism. In Europe the
Austrian and German situation is
developing rapidly in the direction
of another imperialist war. In the
U. S., the increased funds for mi
litary training, the billion dollar
naval program, the currency and
trace wars is leading us directly
into another war"

WORKERS TO DEMAND
TROOPS co AS OLSON
ORDERS STRIKE TO END

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. g.
Floyd Olson, Farmer Labor COVER
nor, made new move to break
the truck drivers strike today in
statement setting the deadline for
the end of the strike at midnight
tonight.
Olson pretends, in his statement,
to scold both sides, the employers
and the unions. He commands the
end of the strike, threatening to re-
call all permits for trucks, except
those for transportation of actual
necessities such as mill, ice and
kindred commodities. He also en-
phasizes the fact that the national
guard will take very drastic action
hereafter against picketing.
This move by Olson is nothing
else than an attempt to ram down
the Threats of the drivers an agree
ment which is even worse in sub
stance than the one accepted by
the strike leadership in the May
strike.
Leaders of the Central Labor
Union, Roy Weir, Cramer, Emry,
Nelson and others, while on the one
hand sabotaging the spreading of
the strike to reinforce the drivers
are on the other hand using the
Labor Review, official organ of the
Central Labor Union, to whitewash
Olson in his breaking actions.
The Trotskyite leadership. the
Dunno brothers and Skoglund have
as yet failed to say a word against
the Cramers, Roy Weirs and Nell
sons. Instead they are in agreement
with those people who have set up
an Intermediary committee of OIL
sonites to negotiate with the Citi-
zenS' Alliance in an attempt to get
some wording of the agreement that
would save the face of the Dunno
Sokoglun leadership even if it
would not mean any material gain
for the strikers.

tlating drive to get mass delega-
tons from union and working class
organizations to see Governor Olson

mand before him to withdraw the

.Schemers
Fight Over
Visa Order
Mayor, Organ, Union
Reactionaries Try
to Shift Blame

NEW YORK. - While Mayor La
Guardia and Police Commissioner
Organ are busy tossing the re-
sponsibility for the recently de-
feated fascist labor visa order from
one to another like football, the
Joint Board of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America looms
high in the conspiracy.
Upon the Joint Board rests a
heavy share of the responsibility for
the police trade union scheme. In
deed, the Amalgamated Joint Board
is thoroughly behind the scheme
and Mr.. Schlossberg, with all his
protests, cannot deny the fact.
When charges and counter
charges began to be hurled at each
other by the Mayor and the Police
Commissioner, the truth leaked out.
La Guardia, Organ and leaders of
the Amalgamated-all are respon-
sible for the fascist edict.
When thieves fall out honest men
get their due In this case the
anti-labor forces had a disagree
ment over who should shoulder the
responsibility for the police order.
United pressure of organized labor
brought about a rift in the ranks
OF the enemy and thus made pos
sible the early defeat of the
measure.
1t is clear that the responsibility
for the fascist edict does not rest
on the shoulders of one individual
person. The capitalist class is re-
sponsible. But the chief response
bility lies at the doorSteps of the
perpetrators of the plan. The
Mayor, first of all, is responsible.
me Police Commissioner is respon-
Sible. The Leaders Of the Joint
Board of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers are responsible. The
culprits have been caught in the
act.

Release of Thaelmann

The nominating convention of the
Communist Party for the tenth
congressional district of Wisconsin,
in q resolution sent to Hans Luther,
Nazi consulate in Washington, pro-
tested the plans of the Hitler re-
CINE to murder Ernst Thaelmann.
Hailing Thaelmann as the leader of
the German workers, the resolution
condemned the plans to butcher
Thaelmann, and pledged to arouse
the American workers to demand
his unconditional release.

NEW YORK. reference
to the force of the treason clause"
in the Law of Criminal Procedure,
with grim reminder that this
clause was decisive" in the Sin
vestigation against Ernst Thael-
Manu." are contained in letter
which Edward Lamb, prominent
Toledo attorney, has just received
from the German consulate at
Cleveland.
Further, the letter from the Fas-
cist German consul indicates that
Thaelmann will be denied all OPP
portunity to consult with any out
side attorneys in his trial" as
we're Dimitroff and Torgler, despite
the fact that even the Nazi law
permits the use of outside attorneys
on the request of the prisoner.
The Fascist Court, the Nazi con-
sui says, has the power to decide
all such questions.
Rush Execution Plans
The letter, which came in re-
Spouse to inquiries made by Mr.
Lamb regarding the status of the
Thaelmann prosecution, reveals that
the Hitler government is getting
ready to go forward with its at
quick execution.
The full text of the letter fol-
lows:
Mr.. Edward Lamb, Atty,
Suite 1914. Bd. of Trade Bldg,
Toledo, Ohio.
Dear Sir:
Your inquiry of June 9th,
1894, to the German Embassy in
Washington, D. c., regarding
1 Ernst Thaelmann was turned
over to me for reply.
Please be informed that the
preliminary Court Investigations
against Ernst Thaelmann have
not been completed and that
therefore the date for the main
hearing could not as yet be de-
cided upon. Concerning the
defense, Paragraphs 1877 and
those following of the German
Criminal Procedure, as well as
Article III-Paragraph of the
law of April 1884 with reference
to high treason and treason
against ones country, are de-
cisive. In accordance, the ac-
cuSed may have a foreign adj
vocate beside German, pro-
vided, that the Court which is
uncurtailed to decide on such
proposition, gives its consent.
Only the defendant himself,
but not an outsider, can re-
quest that a foreign attorney
be employed for his defense.
Trusting that this is the de-
sired information, I remain,
Very truly yours,
(signed) F. Won Alpen,
Acting German Consul.
1t is clear that the pressure of
world protest is now more than
ever necessary to halt the execution
plans of the Fascists. The fight for
the right of Thaelmann to have a
lawyer from another country must
be wrung from the Nazis by pow
erful campaign of world demand
Letters, kilograms, meetings, and
other actions are ways in which
the German Embassy and the Hit
Ter Government at Berlin must be
made to feel the demand for the
freedom of Thaelmann.

''If the list of film heroines to whom Edmund Lowe has, at one time or another, been husband, sweetheart, or lover, were made up, it would read like Who's Who of filmland He always however, manages to have some different bit of characterization to make the. hit outstanding.
 For example. in Don't Bet on .Women,' his latest Fox Movie tone in which he is featured with Jeanette Macdonald, coming to the Dream Theatre Sunday, he plays the role of a synical bache- Tor whose motto in life is that all. women are bad" Miss Mac Donald as the wife of Roland Young makes it her business to prove that all women are not so bad especially after she finds out that her husband has forced q len thousand dollar bet on Lowe that he cannot kiss her within 'forty-eight hours. She makes it q bad' forty-eigth hours for both! Thus in previous pictures where his hcroines are concerned Lowe was very much on the offensive in this case Miss Macdonald has him decidely on the defensive.
