NEW YORK. Only a few weeks
remain in which to defeat the
ruling of the Alabama Supreme
Court decreeing December 7th for
the legal murder of Haywood Pat
terson and Clarence Norris, two of
the Scottsboro boys, the Interna-
tional Labor Defense warned yes
terday in calling for the greatest
mass support for the city-wide
Scottsboro protest march and dem
onstration through the streets of
Harlem this afternoon, starting at
1870 o'clock from 126th Street and
Lenox Avenue.
The I. L. D., which has full charge
of the defense, at the same time
appealed for funds to push the ap-
peals for Patterson and Norris in
the U. S. Supreme Court, with
which the I. L. D. attorneys have
already filed an application for re-
view of the appeals. Both Patter-
son and Norris, in a letter dated
Nov. l to Joseph R. Brodsky, chief
counsel of the I. l.. D., declare that
they want Walter Pollak, outstand-
ing constitutional attorney, and Os-
mond Fraenkel, noted appeals law
yer, to argue their appeals, under
the supervision of the 7. L. D., in
the U. S. Supreme Court. "This is
my last and final decision and will
not be changed with my consent"
declare each of the boys, with the
additional statement that "all ar
rangements to the contrary are
natzaa1IAI Nh of
their letter appears in this issue of
the Daily Worker.
Many Organizations Join Call
The I. L. D. warning was supple
mented by scores of New York or
CARNATIONS, which issued urgent
calls to their members and sympa-
thizers for a mighty mass outpour-
ing this afternoon to halt the legal
lynching and smash the conspiracy,
engineered by Samuel S. Leibowitz,
renegade defense attorney, and a
group of Harlem Negro misleaders,
acting in concert with Alabama
lynch officials to scuttle the defense
at this critical moment. In call
issued yesterday by its New York
District, the Communist Party
called upon every member and SYM
pathizer of the Party to demon
strate, march for the freedom of
the Scottsboro boys, against lynch
ing and Negro oppression-against
the lynchers and their agents.
Appeal Issued to Needle Trades
Workers
A similar call for action was is
sued to all needle trades workers
by an emergency joint board meet
ing of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union, held Thursday
night to discuss plans for today's
demonstration. The union distrib-
uted 10000 leaflets yesterday in
the needle trades market, and held
special shop meetings appealing to
the workers to turn out in full force
for the demonstration. 1t predicted
that thousands of needle trades
workers will take part in today's
action. The joint trade board
meeting unanimously voted to send
kilograms to President Roosevelt, the
u. S. Supreme Court and Governor
l.. M. Miller of Alabama demanding
the freedom and safety of the nine
innocent boys.
Appeals to their memberships to
support the demonstration were
also issued by the International
Workers Order, the Associated
