LAW IS VICTORY
FOR WOMEN

Women throughout the country
today were rejoicing over q vic
tory won yesterday when the Sen.
ate passed the measure removing
all determinations against them
in the nationality laws Of the
United States. The bill already
had been approved by the House
and goes to the President.
Ever since the ratification Of
the suffrage amendment to the
Constitution in 1920, women's or
ganizations have been struggling
to have this approved. BY the
passage Of the Gable act in 1922
the nationality law was equalized
so far as retention Of citizenship
upon marriage to an alien was
concerned, but until the measure
which received congressional ap-
proval yesterday becomes law,
mothers are denied the right ex-
ercised by fathers Of transmitting
citizenship to children born

KLANSMAN ELECTED GOVERNOR
OF ALABAMA

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-The Democratic
primaries, in which no Negroes and very
few white workers were permitted to vote,
last week returned Col. Bibbs Graves, no
toriOus Ku Klux KlanSman, to the Cover
nOr'S seat.
The same primaries, in Morgan coun-
ty, failed to return Judge James +. HOrtO
The campaign against him had been con-
Quoted by the White Legion and the Ku
Klux Khan mainly on the basis OF his re-
versal of the lynch verdict OF guilty
against Haywood Patterson, ScottSboro
boys, last summer.
Graves ran on a straight Klan ticket,
supported by the White LegiOn-a XXX.
under a new name but the same aims and
lnethodS-which has been advocating laws
designed to prevent defense of framed Ne
,groes and white workers by LID. attor-
neys, and to prevent the ScOttsbOrO defense
attorneys from continuing in the case.
Graves Khan affiliations are so open
that even the Jackson County Sentinel pub
Iished at ScottsborO, one of the most rablo
Iynch-Organs in the state, denounced him
for his open connection.
An even greater danger than ever be
fore of lynching for the Scottsboro boys
was seen in the election of Graves, which
marks the. definite commitment OF tn,
ywlhdte ruling class to official sanction OF
teEyor and lynching as opposed to smother
methods advocated by the more advanced
industrialistS.

GUARD TO BE CALLED AS
SCARC -


SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-NatiOn-
al guardsmen were ordered to be ready by
Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed McGrady.
This means they will be used as scabs and
strike breakers in an attempt to break the
militant longshoremen and seamen strike
which has tied up coast ports since May 10,
unless they accepted federal mediation,
which means the government sell out pact.
The high salaried misleaders of the AZ.
of l.. unions pleaded with the strikers to
accept the June Is agreement, but the men
stood firm. So by the time the next issue
of the Producers News reaches you, blood
will probably be spilled when the govern
ment tries to open up the ports. These
heroic seamen and dock workers, organized
in their own rank and file union have waged
one of the most militant and effective OF
strikes in marine history.
