BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 15.-The
slave pact recently concluded between
the Southern white ruling class and
the G. w. A. heads in Washington, by
which it is planned to withdraw all
c. w. A. funds in February so as to
insure plenty Of cheap labor for cot
ton planting, is being rapidly car
ried out.
This action has followed repeated
complaints by fruit and cotton plan
tation owners and by large mill oper-
ators that the C. w. A. program Will
not insure a cheap supply of labor.
To Cut 1000 off C. w. A. In Birmins-
ham
The G. W. A. officials Of Jefferson
County, in which Birmingham is
located, have announced that they
will drop 1000 C. w. A. workers at
once. Although 1t was stated that this
move is to remove heads of families
from relief who are not In immediate
need" it follows the recent decree Of
state relief administrator Thad Holt
that no one who is in any way con-
nected with farm work will be given
help from the c. w. A. Holt has also
stated that no tenant farmer will be
given relief unless both tenant and
landlord are in need" No one has
as yet found a landlord who is in
need"

BY SEYMOUR WALDMAN
DAILY Worker Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Of the
six bills ito punish the crime of lynch
ing" introduced during the present
session of Congress not one proposes
that the death penalty be carried out
against those who participate in either
the surrender or taking of an indi-
vidual from legal custody. In fact,
with the exception of very ambig-
Gus sentence in Representative
Guyer's bill, they make lynching an
inexpensive pleasure.
Irrespective of whatever sincere no
tons the author of any Of these bills
may think he harbors, the passage
of any one Of them would help to
build a legal wall against the Negro
and white worker mass pressure for
a federal law providing the death
penalty for lynchers,-without any ifs
or ands-as proposed by the League Of
Struggle for Negro Rights, whose plat
form is endorsed by the National
Scottsboro Action Committee.
DePriest Offers Most Lenient Bill
of All
1t is signifiant that the most lenient
penalty proposed for State or NUM-
cipal officer "who shall conspire, COM
bine, or confederate with any person
to put such prisoner to death with
out authority Of law as punishment
for some alleged public offense" is
contained in the bill of Representative
DePriest, wealthy Chicago Negro real
estate and brothel operator. Con-
gresham DePriest would merely have
such an offending officer removed
forthwith" from Office to face a
charge which might result in fine
not exceeding $4,000 or imprisonment
not exceeding five years, or both.
All the others, with the exception
Of the Guyer bill,-the Costigan-
Wagner, Gavagan, Kean and Kopple-
mann-provide that an officer who
actually schemes with Iynchers to de-

Michigan Elects 81
to Natl
JObIeSS Convention

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 16.-Michi-
gan has already elected 80 delegates
to the National Convention Against
Unemployment to be held in Wash
ington, on Feb. 3, 4, and 5, and plans
TO elect 18 more, making q total of
so in the Michigan delegation. The
delegates already elected represent
the Auto Workers Union, Small House
Owners League, the Workmen's Asso-
citation, four A. F. Of L. locals, relief
workers organizations and Unem-
ployed Councils. Grand Rapids, Bala-
mazoo, Ann Arbor, Jackson, Saginaw,
Pontiac, Berkley, Dearborn, Lincoln
Park, Muskegon, and Detroit are so
far represented. Most OF the dele
gates were elected at united front
conferences.
The intensified work Of the IN
employed Councils in preparation for
the national convention has included
pushing the formation Of C.WA.
unions. A few weeks ago a confer
ence of C.WA. workers was held at
which nearly every job in Detroit was
represented. Immediate organization
Oh C.W.A. workers was decided at the
conference, and in the short time
that has elapsed since this session,
nine branches of the union have been
organized with membership of
1 400 workers. Within few days it
is expected that the membership will
be doubled
A number of gains have already
been made by the C.W.A. unions. at
Vandercook Lake, the union took up
the fight for the right to build fires,
and won not only the right to build
fires, but coal and coke as well as
salamanders to build them with. This
branch also elected their own fore
man on the job and forced the C.WA.
to accept him.
Another branch has won mittens
and boots for the men on the Jobs.

three months ago there was not
single union member in either OF the
two chains. Only the union Off
cialS and the bosses know the exact
terms of the agreement. Consistent
refusals are given by both sides when
workers ask information regarding
the nature of these terms. All that
is known is that conditions in these
chains are Just exactly the same as
they were before, and that the store
managers go around collecting the
dues and assessments.
The other side Of the picture of
opposition work In A. F. Of l.. locals
is illustrated ny Local 2 walters in
Brooklyn, which in 1892 through a
coordinated fight against the racke-
teers was able to place three rank
and file workers on the board.

.C.W.A. Stagger System
Fails When Workers
Demand Jobs Back
BY a Worker Correspondent

BY a Worker Correspondent
HAVERHILL, Mass, Jan. l6.-At-
tempts by the local @. w. A. ofacials
to stagger work here, resulted in the
employment Of ten additional paint
ers after a militant demonstration
by the workers before the city hall.
Thirty painters and helpers we're
laid OF after only ten days work, and
q smaller crew placed to do their
work. After they had demonstrated
at the city hall demanding their jobs
back, the New England G. w. A. board
sent hasty kilograms stating that at
was all a mistake, and that once
hired, the men must be retained until
the c. w. A. work is completed"
The new replacement crew, when in
formed that they would have to give
back their jobs to the original workers
refused to leave, with the result that
now all Of them are working.

wages on four ships receives more
than million dollars annually in
government subsidies. This clearly
shows the role Of the N. r. A, which
pretends to favor the operators but
actually supports the government sub
sidized steamship lines, by taking no
action.
The cost OF police protection alone
on docks and ships has been far
greater than the amount saved" at
the expense Of the operators estim-
ated at $45 monthly on each Of the
four ships.
The striking radio operators are de-
term1ned to continue their struggle to
compel the company to restore the
