the death cell at Kilby Prison.

Mrs. Norris told me about this
trip after she arrived in New York
fresh from seeing her son. and
ready to go out on a tour of %
cities along with Angelo Herndon
and Richard B. Moore, to speak at
meetings in the fight to free the
Scottsboro boys and Herndon.
Arrived at the prison. Mrs. Nor
ris asked for permission to saa
Clarence, now three and a half
years behind the bars. In all these
years she has paid five visits to the
prison, and has never had more
than few minutes with her bow.
Search Food for Weapons
She was told by the warden she
could have IS minutes. She wanted
to plead for more time, but She
feared to get into an argument
which might prevent her from see
ing her boy at all. She brought
cake and other cooked foods for
the two boys. The warden sliced IN
the cakes into small pieces and
went through all of the food in ?

Mrs. Norris told him it was NOTHING
but food and when he finished she
said to him. IT told you it was onlv

The guard seemed surprised. but

then locked him up again right
away. Fifteen minutes was all the
time they gave us.

Herndon's Release Gave Added
Courage
The boys did not complain. she
said, They are full of hope that
they will go free. They have never
lost faith in tho LID. They know
that Herndon is out on bail and
they were glad. I told them about
it, but they had already heard. I
never thought to ask them how
they heard" While Herndon was in
jail in Atlanta, he wrote to the
Scottsboro boys, and that gave
them added courage.
Clarence worked all his life"
Mrs. Norris said. HE never had
time to go to school. He started to
work in the fields when his father
and me were sharccropping. When
he was Is he went away for about
q year working in saw mills and
restaurants.
Three and half years ago, he
said he was leaving the cotton

twice as much in the city. We
work for awful little down South in

George grabbed the leaflets. Cot
tito held tight. They wrestled.
Cliff ran to help the little Italian.
The foreman was gone before ne
got TO the gates.
THE foremen had been shopping
4 around the whole day trying to
find out what the men were talk
ing about. Mr.. Barnes, the chief
director, who seldom stepped into
the heating department, where it
was hot and the cranes sprinkled
the air with tar and chunks of coal,
was going around talking to the
men.
How goes it. Weber? Those
blowers ought to make things
easier" He referred to the new
machines that had been put in to
keep the fires up.
"Yeh,' Weber mumbled, busying
himself poking away at the coal.
I know what you're after, you dirty
skunk you, tryin' to be good now,
en-" Weber said to himself.
Cliff kept going strong the whole
day, though he hadn't had a wink
of sleep. He had been thinking
of the meeting. wondering If the
men would come down. He didn't
have a chance to speak to anybody.
George was hard on his heels.
Weber spoke to some of the fellows.
They said that they'd come to the
meeting.
When Cliff got into the hall,
every seat was taken and the aisles
crowded He elDowed his way
through to the platform.
Gee whiz, never thought there
were so many men in the shop" he
said to Harris.
ut sure is a good turn out for
the first meeting" Harris smiled.
Looking at the multitude, Cliff
got frightened. What was he to
talk about to them? What was he
to say?
Nelson opened the meeting. He
made few Introductory remarks
in his broken English, then he
called out Cliff Mulligan.
Cliff tried to pull himself to-
gether.
What am I afraid Off talk
to these fellows every day." he
thought. He stood looking over the.
crowd for a few minutes, then he,
began in low voice.
ErOLKS, we came here to see what :,
L we can do to stop the cut. Well,
I don't have to say much to you
fellows, how tough things are. They
make us break our backs in order
to produce more. They fred pretty
near half of the gang and we got
to do the work for them. But that
amt enough, they want to cut
wages. They want to take out Of
the envelope fifteen per cent Of the
pay, but we amt gonna take it.-
We're gonna make them keep their
hands off," He found himself
shouting.
They think that because there
are lots of men walking the streets
they got us by the throat and can
do what they want, but we'll fight
like hell to keep the same wages.
well, fellow workers, say" he
stopped, wiping his forehead, what
we got to do is all of us put up a.
strong fight and show this bunch
of bloodsuckers where they get off"
When ne finished speaking, the
hall stormed with applause, There
were shouts, Alta boy!" Cliff was
overwhelmed. Everything in the
hall and on the platform turned
around before him.

THIS week brings three fast days
which should be enjoyed since fresh
fish is plentiful and cheap. If fish
is not desired quite so frequently,
dishes combined of eggs or cheese,
which are excellent values at present
with vegetables are delicious and sat

of asparagus souffle or omelet, car
rots and peas and a baked potato
would be welcomed by most people.
Fruit desserts should also be pop
