and white workers, many of them

pledged themselves to help with all
their energy, with all the forces of
the organizations they represented,
to mobilize the broadest masses for
the struggle to prevent the legal
murder of the Scottsboro boys on
December Z.
This struggle for the Scottsboro
boys is a very difficult one. WHY?
Because the Southern lynch rulers
who have increased their terror
against both the Negro and white
workers in recent months. are de-
termined to show that they are the
masters. They say. in effect. "Yes.
we suppress the Negro people and
will continue to suppress them" II
Is a difficult struggle because the
Roosevelt Government-the Demo-
cratic Party, whose strength lies
mainly in tile South-stands behind
the suppression of the Negroes. IT
will not lift a finger against the
brutal policy Of the Southern demo-
Gratis unless forced to do so bv

Trickery of Reformists

Today, Daily Worker readers may
follow the trail of one of these pub
lie servants by tracing a correspond
ence two of whose photostats are
reproduced.
Meet Mr.. Charles A. Siegferth,
special investigator. Formerly he
had eked out a rather sordid liven-
hood by covering the Harlem police
beat for the Bronx Home News. In
this connection he is remembered
by fellow reporters as the author of
a monumental sob-story on the re-
mains of a deceased horse. Tender
Charlie became a copy reader for
the same sheet but the system of
grammer and spelling he originated
does not seem to have gained a
foothold. Despite his eternal boasts
about political and underworld con-
nections he found it expedient to
hire himself out to the Home Relief
Bureaus Gumshoes Detachment un-
der Joseph A. Brady.
Some of his early reports to the
chief are brief and to the point.
His record of a days activities
sometimes consists of a single SEN
tence: "Janus.y 5th-Worked on
Communistic ata and recorded
names Of several prominent agita
tors" Or January 17th-Clipped
the newspapers for Communistic
stories and worked on the index
file" Or January 18th-Added a
list to your Communistic file" On
the Goth of the same month he
polishes up on his theoretical equip
ment: Spent most of the day read
ing radical literature sent to us by
Precinct supervisors, where it had
been distributed by various Unem-
ployment Councils"
This, apparently, fails to satisfy
his immediate superior. On March

Mooney, through his attorneys, to-

lowed to file petition for an or

motion is based on the use of per-

admitted by the original trial judge
and the Wickersham Committee,
etc.
A similar motion was recently
rejected by the Federal District
Court in California, which ruled
that the appeal should be taken to
the local courts. These courts had
refused MONEYS request for trial
on one of the untried original in
dictments against him, fearing that
such trial would result in dra-

that Yestrike In the South MAY

that certain employers are not
only refusing to take back strik-

them from company houses. The
strike may be revived in the

However. indicating that the
workers of the South will have to
strike despite Gormans efforts to
comply with the truce, he added:
The revival would, of course, have
to have the committees approval"
From reports Of many textile re-
gions, it is apparent that German
is forced to make the above admis-
sion because of the growing senti-
ment to disregard his truce and re-
strike.

he is convinced that only small

not to take back workers, but to
evict and drive them out" and that

in line. German said nothing OF the

So she began to get breakfast
while Mr.. Longears, who had al

up a big beach umbrella for the

THE GRAND OLD LADY

In the passing of Marie Dressler,

the nation mourns the death of a splen-

woman.
The hold she had on the public affec-
tions is too we'll known to need COM
ment 1t is not so generally known per-
haps, that those in her profession held
her in equally high regard-as woman
and as an actress-surely high compli-
ment for anyone
No better example of the esteem in
which her fellow troupers held her can
be cited than the speech made by Will
Rogers last November when the entire
movie colony turned out to honor her on
her 62nd birthday.
Perfectly at ease and nonchalant in the
presence of kings, emperors, presidents,
statesmen and the most learned, the Okla
homa cowboy was badly flustered. At a
function where all her friends were say
ing nice things about her Rogers was
stumped and resorted to playful abuse of
her ability and her career
'If tried to say anything nice I'd have
broken down right there before all those
folks and cried the noted humorist said,
and his sincerity has never been doubted.
There are many more in the same boat
with Will Rogers, and others who may be
able to say the nice things and cry too,
for lump came in more than one throat
when the final curtain fell on "the grand
