XXX Tactics

THE threat which Leibowitz's private
L secretary and bodyguard, John Terry,
made against the Negro attorney and ed
itor, Benjamin T. Davis, to run him out
of Montgomery, Alabama" cannot be
viewed as something aside from the determined
mass struggle to save the lives of the nine Scots
boro boys
Consider the scene. Davis has lived his whole
life in the South Fearless in his fight against
Negro oppression, he champions the cause OF An
gelo Herndon whom the Southern lynchers hate
not only as militant Negro but as a Communist
And in the face of the most bitter opposition and
danger, Benjamin Davis wins the temporary re-
lease Of Herndon from the horrors of the chain
gang, one of the greatest victories in the recent
struggle for Negro rights
More than that Davis filings himself into the
/ L. D. struggle to lberate the scottsboro boys,
and assumes leading position in the fight, through
becoming leader i@the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights.
In every way, Davis represents everything that
is best and most heroic in the fight for the free
dom of the Scottsboro boys and for Negro rights.
And it is this fearless Negro fighter that Terry,
Leibowitz's hired bodyguard, acting as Lebowitzs
agent in the South, dares to speak in the tone
of the K K K mob Ieaderl 1t is this way that
the Leibowtz friends" of the Scottsboro boys act
toward a leading fighter for the liberation of the
boys And it is due only to the timely interven-
ton of I. L. D. attorney that Davis is saved
personal assault by Leibowitzs aide.
To any honest person really interested, not in
personal advancement, but in getting the Scots
boro boys out of jail, there be no doubt as
to where the true interests of the boys lie. Ger
tainly, in the violent threats Of a Terry to a
Benjamin Davis we have the real situation that
shows the difference between the Leibowitz tactics
and the L L. D. fight against the Scottsboro frame
up and the whole lynch system.
THE threats of Terry against Davis are only the
final and logical result Of the whole policy Of
those who have placed themselves around Leibo-
WITT in the effort to crush the mass fight Of the
I L. D. Only those who hate and fear the mass
fight for Negro rights stoop to the kind Of
K K K threat which LeIbowitzs aide hurled at
Benjamin Davis in Montgomery.
The elements around Leibowitz including the
INSCRIPTIONS owner of the Harlem Amsterdam
News, kid" Davis, stand exposed as enemies Of
the Scottsboro boys who will not hesitate to gamble
with the lives of the scottsboro boys at the most
crucial moments Of danger.
Certainly no friend of the scottsboro boys can
have anything further to do with these elements
who have barred themselves as interruptions ad-
venturers playing with the lives of innocent Negro
youths in the hands of the Southern lynchers.
Now all true and honest friends of the Scots
boro boys must heed the personal appeal OF the
boys sent from Kiby Prison to get behind the ire
mendous fight which the L L. D. is waging and
will continue to wage against the lynch frame up
of the Southern ruling class.

The Cotton Bosses Meet

AN IMPORTANT meeting of over 300
mill owners in the American Cotton
Manufacturers Association has just been
held in Greenville, South Carolina, which
is adequately reported only in the trade
Journals OF the manufacturers This meeting passed
resolutions endorsing all of George Sloans strike
breaking acts during the general textile strike
The cotton manufacturers association also gave
assurances to the southern mill owners of con-
tinued anti-trade union policy for the South as
well as the North. One resolution gave instruc-
tons to the Roosevelt government that the manu-
factlirers intend TO have clear and unhindered
road in their intensified drive against the workers
Another resolution declares that the manufac-
turers will stand firm against any change Gin
the present provisions of the code covering the
maximum hours Of labor and the machine hour
limitations"
These resolutions, taken together are COM
plete program for the wage cutting speed-up
and union smashing drive of the textile EMPLOYERS
against the workers The intention to rob the tex
tile workers of their elementary rights is seen in
the resolution against the flying squadrons in the
last strike, which made the strike effective 1t

also opposed the flying squadrons AID tried to
limit pcketing. This resolution greatly deplores
the recent evidence of mob violence as represented
by organized flying squadrons it is unlawful
to force, by violence Or intimidation, workers
from their legitimate occupations against
their wishes" The resolution has as its purpose
the outawing of strikes.
THE Daily News Record, in commenting on this
meeting, declares, 1T has been necessary how
ever to blot out some suspicious, which had been
spread that Northern interests were not averse to
imposing labor union influence on the South"
This suspicion was cleared away. The cotton
manufacturers presented a unanimous, union
smashing front. The employers, the Daily News
Record admits, feel that Germans calling off of
the strike brought about "an unsuccessful strike"
and that Roosevelts recent setting up of the 'Tex-
tile Works Assignment Board" does not grant
single demand of the strikers.
In the face of this united anti-labor front the
textile workers must organize their own unity. a
unity OF the rank and file to present a united
front against the employers attacks, against the
anti-labor decisions Of the Roosevelt government,
and against the betrayals of the German Green
leadership of the A. F. of L.

For Social Insurance

TODAY'S Daily Worker contains the call
L to the National Congress for Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance to be held
right in the nations capital on January
5, and 7.
The call for this Congress expresses
the great movement which has grown UP in the
past five years. since the crisis struck the country
for program Of insurance that would protect the
millions of workers small farmers, white collar
workers. professionals, and forth, from the dread
insecurity that haunts the majority of the popula-
ton under capitalism
SO urgent is the need of millions of people
for adequate insurance against unemployment sick
ness and accident, that even the most reactionary
groups are now forced to give lip service to the
idea of social insurance. And Roosevelt is using
this great need means of maintaining himself
in power, through barrage of false promises
The most important immediate task for all
who are determined to achieve adequate protec-
ton against loss of income because of unem-
poyment, old age, industrial accident or sickness
and maternity, is to consolidate this great mass
movement into organized fighting force Only
In this way can Congress be compelled to eStab-
lish such system of social insurance.
The signatures attached to the Call for the
Congress indicate at once the tremendous sweep
Of the fight for social insurance and also the way
in which many who give lip service to this fight
the first to avoid any real struggle to achieve
the program.
Many State conventions of the A. F. of L. as
well more than 2,400 locals in the A. F. of L.
have endorsed the struggle for unemployment and
social insurance Yet the of leading A. F.
Of L. officials are conspicuous by their absence
from the call to the Congress- Similarly the names
of Socialist Party and Musteite leaders, who have
publicly spoken for this insurance are also con-
Spicuousy absent.
But it is obvious that the can win deal
protection only by the enactment of such Bill
as the Workers Bill for Social and Unemployment
Insurance Only mass struggle organized and per-
siStent can force Congress to act on this measure
in January. All other measures are only fraud
ulent schemes to make those least able to pay
carry the burden Of the insurance
Every section Of the toing population can be
rallied to support the Social Insurance Congress
in January Practical steps toward building united
support should begin at once

U. S. Workers Can Aid
by Launching Protest
on Fascist Plans
by Burck

The workers delegation, repre-
senting various political views, left
with the realization that the Com
munist Party of the Saar region was
right, and on July 2, 1884, the united
front of the Communist and Social
Democratic parties of the Saar re-
gion to fight fasciSm and to pre-
vent the return of the Saar to
Hitherto Germany was successfully
consummated. The basis of the
agreement was as follows:
1. A united appeal to all work
ers of the Saar,
2. Demonstration on July 4th at
Saarbruck,
3. Joint demonstration In the
entire territory,
4. Formation of committees to
fight against the remuneration of
the Saar region to Hitherto Ger
many.
S. The delegates Of the two
parties shall be in permanent
contact with each other in order
to take whatever action they
might deem necessary at all
times,

ranged during the month of July
to demand the liberation Of all
anti-fascist prisoners.
This was the answer of the work.
ing class of the Saar region.
The Communist Party, witnessing
and suffering the attacks of the
Hitler branch of fascism in the
Saar, realized for long time that
the only way to crush Hitler is to
vote for the Status Quo. But
voting for the Status Quo has an
other implication-it will, at least
for certain time, remove the dam
ger of a world conf1agration; for
the reunion with Hitler Germany
or the annexation to France both
imply the same thing-war. That
is why, in the words of Comrade
Knorin, Voting against Hitler in
the Saar, the Saar population, in
concert with the German workers,
fights for the overthrow of the fas-
cist dictatorship. The greater the
defeat of Hitler in the Saar, the
nearer will be the end of the fas-
cist dictatorship, the sooner will
the reunion of the Sasr with a free
Germany be attained" Communist
International, No. Is, Aug. 1934)
The remaining of the Saar under
the Status Quo will enable the Saar
workers better to prepare for the
final struggle. e., for a Soviet
Germany and Soviet Saar.
The workers of America, as was
pointed out in the Daily Worker a
few days ago, must concentrate all
their efforts to bring to the Ger
man-speaking workers Of the
United States, to their relatives,
to the entire American proletariat
the idea that defeat for Hitler in
the Saar means defeat for Ger
man fascism.
We in America should show our
international solidarity with the
Saar proletariat in their struggle
against Fascism. In mass meet
ings, and in organizations, we
should adopt resolutions accord
ingly, calling upon the Saar work.
ers to defeat the plans of the bloody
Hitler regime and vote for the
Status Quo. Through such resolu-
tons also, we must show our recog-
milton and support the splendid
united front movement that has
been developed between the Com
munist and Socialist Parties, and
various other organizations.
Resolutions should be sent to the

Defeat of the F as els t
Movement in the Saar
Means Hitler's Doom
By PAUL GREEN

Weeks ago Hitler had penetrated
the Saar. Fascist hooligans trampled
upon workers; they attacked and
killed anti-fascists and raided work
ers' organizations. Yet, with a usual
fanfare of ballyhoo, with bloody
hands still warm and stained by
the June 30th massacres, Hitler
came to ask the workers in the
Saar region to come back to the
new Germany-the Germany of
crimes and murders. He also ex-
tended to the French steel and coal
n1agnates an invitation au voyage"
Now what is the status of the
Saar region and why should we
workers in America be interested in
it?
According to the Treaty of Yer
sailles, the Saar region was to be,
for a period Of Is years from Jan.
1, 1920, under the jurisdiction of
commission appointed by the Coun-
Gil of the League of Nations. At
the expiration of this term, that is
to say on Jan. 10, 1885, the first
Sunday following the expiration, the
Saar voters will express their pref
erence for one choice of three:
l. Return to fascist Germany; 2.
Annexation to French capitalism;
8. Status quo, i. e. the continuation
of the rule of the Saar by League
of Nations Commission.
Now this region has been thor
oughly penetrated by French CAPT
talism. But with the idea of
strengthening this penetration and
at the same time with the aim of
avoiding diplomatic complications
with Germany, the French press is
carrying on a hypocritical cam
paign, suggesting that January 18th
should find the voters in the Status
Quo column. A weekly periodical,
"Je Suis Partout," says: Economic
ally Cd the Saar has benefited by
the present regime; economically
the Saar would apparently lose a
great deal by returning to Ger
many; economically, the Saar citi-
zen, interested in his well-being,
should vote for the Status Quo"
(Je Suis Particularly IL, 1880.
This viewpoint is shared by the
organ of the steel trust paper, lie
Temps" and by many other French
newspapers. lie Temps" uses a
peculiar method by quoting Mr.. Max
Braun, leader of the Saar Socialist
Party, who expresses the viewpoint
of the Front Libre Party" in the
Saar paper, "Volkstimme";; THE
Front Libre' of the Saar," SAYS Mr..
Braun, docs not vote for France.
The German Front Libre' of the
Saar does not vote for Hitler Ger
many either. The Front Libre' of
the Saar votes for a free German
Saar." ("Le Temps"-June 7, 1934)
Toward the end Of May discus
sions were undertaken by the Com
mission of the League Council, the
G erm an government and the
French government, as to the
method of procedure for the con-
duct of the plebiscite. During those
days, conferences were yelled in
secrecy. Were the workers delega-
lions and representatives consulted
when this secret agreement was
consummated? Mr.. Barthou, the
war-traveler, didn't think fit to do
that. But he did have a word of en-
couragement for the Comite DIES
Houilleres (the Coal Trust) and the
Comite DIES FORCES (the Steel Trust)
Says Mr.. Barthou: In the name
of the nation which has several
thousand dependents in the Saar,

Working Girls Budget Allows Plenty for Clothes

Fifteen dollars for rent is the
amount needed for a good room
in a private home in many
cities. In New York, where
rents are higher, the solution is
for two or three girls to room
together, dividing up the
amount. And Bette's adviser,
who has her own furniture, says
that if one hunts carefully for
apartments, this sum will pay
for a small studio apartment,
with gas, lights and water in
cluded. She herself pays only
$12 for her share Of the rent for
a small studio with living room,
sleeping porch and kitchenette.
The food allowance is 80
cents for lunch on each working
day, with 50-cent dinners, and
breakfasts cooked at home. AS
suming that some dinners will
also be cooked at home, the $23
for food is ample, particularly if

Another method of cooking
the crabs is to sprinkle with

Dear Miss F. s.
feel that you are too self
conscious about your hair; it is
hardly possible that people
would make remarks about it.
Gray hair on very young people
is not at all unusual.
I suggest that you take the
best care of your health and
hair, as this will do more than
anything else to retard grayness.
And don't worry too much about
it. One of the most beautiful
women I know is less than 80
years old, and her hair is snowy
white. It is an asset to her
not a hindrance.
