an address hailing the close work

the country wouldn't stand for "a

them not to be impatient with the

cautioned.

that is getting under way against

the emergency passes.
Law who conferred with Presi-

fore the beginning of the conven-

domestic economic policies and en-
braced Roosevelt's September 30
"fireside" radio talk. in which the
President, for the first time since
his inauguration, openly and frankly
bowed before the ultimatum of big
business and banking by calling for
a cessation of strikes and voicing
the hope of continued individual

become the bankers theme song.

Negro Papers Denounce
Leibowits, Support LID.

The tremendous mass response,
as shown in the numerous Scots
boro protest actions last week in
Harlem, and other places, to the
fight to prevent the legal murder
of the Scottsboro boys on Dec 7,
and against the forces trying to dis
rupt that struggle, is reflected in
the action of several Negro news
papers, which have come out in
sharp reputation of Samuel S.
Leibowifz, renegade defense attor-
nev, and his Negro heutenants. and
endorsement OF the International
Labor Defense.
The Atlantic City Telegram of
Oct. 10 carried a bold-faced front
page editorial signed, THE Publish
ers." calling on its readers and The
Negro people generally to support
the I. L. D., as the only organiza-
ton capable of. and willing to, carry
through the militant policies neces-
sary for a proper defense of the
boys. The paper praises the I. L. D.
for fearlessly raising the funda-
mental issues of Negro rishts-right
of Negroes to serve on juries, ETC.
involved in the historic case. IF
this be Communism, long life to it,
the editorial declares, concluding
with the following call to the Negro
people to Join hands wi h the Ne
gro and white workers in the I. L.
D., the Communist Party and other
organizations fighting for the boys:
will you join hands with your
white brother in defense of your
eight condemned brothers? Will
you let them die on Dec. in bot

care whether they live or die?"

Women Mill Strikers
Defended by Geer,
Negro Attorney

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 23.-On a
background of police raids and ar
rests of workers and lynch incite-
ment in the local boss press, the
trial of Annie May feathers and
Leah Young, white textile women
strikers, was opened today in the
court of Judge B. Wyatt, who pre-
sided at the lynch trial at which
heroic Angelo Herndon, now out on
bail pending appeal, was railroaded
to an 10 to 20 year sentence on
the chain gang.
John Geer, Negro attorney and
one of defense counsel. challenged
the constitutionality of the old slave
law under which feathers and
Young are indicted on charges of
"inciting to instruction.
The Fulton Grand Jury, which
indicted eight Negro workers last
week on charges of distributing in
surrectionary" literature, is plan
ming to start an investigation" of

an effort to burn out" Communism

licitor General Boykin, both of At

likewise denounced Leibowitz and
his cronies for playing with the
lives Of the boys:
The death sentence for two of
the boys is set for Dec. 7. The
second appeal to the United States
Supreme Court must be made at
once. Therefore, any disagreement
now as to who shall represent the
boys and file the appeal subjects
the lives Of all of them to unneces-
sary risk and threatens to destroy
the magnificent fight for justice in
Alabama which the l. l.. D. has
thus far carried on.
so far as we can see there are
no involved issues. The I. L. D.
employed Mr.. Leibowitz in the
Scottsboro cases. He accepted the
assignment with his eyes open.
IF he has now discovered any
reason why he does not wish to act
for his employer. he has a perfect
right to withdraw from the case as
he announced on Oct. 4.
Certainly he has no right, and
it is highly unethical for him to
attempt to push his employer, the
I. L. D., out of the case entirely
and assume the position of coun-
sel-in- chief.
Raps Face-Saving Maneuvers
ITO save his face, there is the
declaration that several New York
ministers had asked him to take
this step, but it seems fairly evident
NAT what Mr.. Leibowitz is doing is
to inject himself as counsel into a
case which the l. L. D. has con-
Quoted with success since April
1881.
Maybe the T. L. D. is guilty OF
all the charges Mr.. Leibowitz makes
but he has not proved them.
Besides, he who makes such
charges ought to come into court
with clean hands. Instead. he
opens himself to the charge Of I'M

Fraenkel Makes ALI
Preparations for Appeal
To u. S. Court

Says He and POlIak Are
Desired To Handle

Attorneys for the International
Labor Defense, as indicated by a
letter made public yesterday by Os-
mond K. Fraenkel. I. L. D. attor-
ney. are going ahead with all prep
arations for the appeal to the
United States Supreme Court
against the death sentence set for
Dec. of Haywood Patterson and
Clarence Norris, Scottsboro defend
ants.
Mr.. Fraenkel's letter, addressed to
the I. L. D., is looked upon as an
answer to the efforts of Samuel
Leibowitz and his reactionary allies
to wrest legal control of the Scots
boro case from the 1. L. D. which
has led the struggle to save the
lives of these nine boys for the past
three and one half years.
"All the comm ~c:lications I have
received from the defendants said
Mr., Fraenkel, ARE to the effect that
they desire me. together with Mr..
Pollak, to handle this appeal to the
United States Supreme Court. You
can be assured that we are doing
everything possible toward this end
and will continue so to do"
He stated that the records in the
case have already been certified to
the Supreme Court and acknowl-
edged by the court clerk. He further
stated that the money for the
printing Of the records in the case
has been paid, and that the brief
for use on the application for GER
tiorari will be ready for the printer
by the end of this week. Mr..

Siding with the recent resolution

number of snowy days to warrant the
ban on night parking nor a sufficient
number of alleys to provide garages.
Stricter enforcement of traffic reg

made that the Federal Government
