George Schuyler Does His Bit to Aid Lynchers

the other Communist brothers fallen
afoul of the law, I would be the
first to laud your good sense. Such
courage as yours is so rare among
your comrades that it is well worth
$4,000 to have you at liberty. I
trust that you will ultimately win
your case so that you may satisfy
your ambition to return to Georgia
and win over the black and white
proletariat for Communism.
Come up, to quote Mae West, and
see me some time. I am always
at home to distinguished visitors.
Bring my good friend Ben Davis
with you"
In the eyes of this toady of the
White ruling class, who has sold
out his people, and that at so low
price that he allegedly has not
the price of telegram, Herndon
is fool for fighting for the rights
OF the Negro people, and against
unemployment and starvation. 1t is
so much safer to be an agent of the
lynch rulers! And the boss press
pays nicely for articles attacking
the Scottsboro defense and defend
ing American imperialists in thei-
plundering of the Liberian people!
1t would be coed sense, Schuyler
says, for Herndon to run away from
the fight by skipping his bail, like
the other Communist brothers fallen

owners profits German pleads
with the corporations, through
Green, to raise prices all workers
must pay. Discussing the price of
a shirt, he begs: Would not men
be willing to pay four cents more so
that their fellow workers in our
industry might be fairly paid? We
think SO. Let me say further that
an increase of only a cent q yard
would give cotton textile workers a
fair wage throughout the industry
The change in the cost of dress
would be less than ten cents"
Il see nothing that can prevent
the strike" Germans statement de-
clared. His conferences with Lloyd
Garrison, chairman of the National
Labor Relations Board, the an
nouncement added, have not re-
lated to any abandonment of the
strike plans" However, he failed to
say when.
Both German and Kelley con-
ferred at length yesterday after
noon with Lloyd Garrison, chair
man of the National Labor Rela-
tons Board, who supported MIRA.
Administrator General Hugh S..
Johnson's labor wrecking and union
raiding activities during the great
San Francisco strike by refusing
to venture an opinion on the
use of machine guns and yomit
gas against unarmed workers.
Silent on Raids
The fact that President Roosevelt
never repudiated Johnson's illegal
and Czaristic raids and that Carl
son remained silent made it clear
that the Generals activities were a
part of the official administration
program.
Official Washington, especially the
National Labor Relations Board,
knows that German and the MIRA
A. F. of L. big wigs don't want
strike and are bluffing about con-
Quoting national strike seriously.
These people also know that the
German clique will only go through
the motions of starting the strike if
the administration desires such ac-
ton.
However, there seems to be little
danger of the administration ig-
noring the frantic appeals of the
Gormanites. According to more or
less authoritative sources, there is
unanimity on the necessity of stop
ping the strike without alternating
the mass of workers who are desper-
ate and eager for strike action. The
rike-breaking tactic is still unde-
cided

building. These naval projects,
according to Dern, "have had
large influence in maintaining
morale throughout sections of the
country where the ships are be-
ing constructed and also where
materials necessary for the pro-
ductiOn are being produced
Encouraging Company Unions
What labor throughout the coun-
try may regard as one of the most
sinister features of the report is it's
hardly disguised approval of COM
pany unionism. 1.-The increase of
numbers and memberships of So
called company unions (even
though not regarded by the ma
tional unions as adequate labor
organizations marks at least an
increase in the mechanismS of la
Dor association available for the
collective bargaining contemplated
in the Act National Recovery Act
ED"
The facts in the report give
sweeping confirmation to the posi-
ton of the Communist Party on the
NRA and the essentially fascist pol
lcieS of the New Deal - that the
NRA is an instrument of monopoly
capital which has as its purpose
increasing profits, speeding up of
justification, raising of prices, de-
pressing the living standards of the
workers and encouraging company
unionism.

the mass fight for their freedom,
so you attempt to knife me also.
After thousands of workers and
sympathizers have worked, sacri-
feed, and actually suffered to get
together the $4,000 demanded by
the Georgia lynchers for my bail,
you announce that I will skip this
bail. At this crucial point in my
fight you stab me in the back in
an attempt to destroy the conf
dence the workers have in me.
While was in Jail you did not
move a finger to help: You never
wrote a line to speed the collection
of bail. Your statement about me
has the effect of an invitation to
the Georgia lynchers to revoke the
bail. This is police agents ac-
ton.
No doubt your attack on me
will win the appreciation of the
lynch press of Georgia, just as
your attack on the ScOttsboro
boys has already won the approba-
ton Of the Alabama lynch press,
Il shall not skip the bail which
the workers have collected for me.
If and when the time comes l
shall return to Georgia ready to
continue the fight"
Schuyler's Reply

Your telegram at hand. The
capitalists have been SO derelict in
their duty that I have not sufi-
Gent funds to reply by wire as I
would like to do. Knowing some
thing of the technique of propa-
ganda, presume your wire was

Negro Columnist Writes
That Herndon Will
Skip His Bail
BY CYRIL BRIGGS

NEW YORK. -"At this crucial
point in my fight, you have stabbed
me in the back. :. Just as you
repeatedly knitted the Scottsboro
boys by sneering at the mass fight
for their freedom, so you attempt to
knife me also"
This is the charge made by An
gelo Herndon in telegram sent
to George Schuyler, Negro cclumnist
of the Pittsburgh Courier, unofi-
cial mouthpiece of the NA.A.CP.
leadership and the New Deal Ad-
ministration.
The telegram is an indignant pro-
test to Schuyler's slanderous insin-
uation that Herndon, Negro hero of
the Atlanta, Georgia, instruction"
trial, will betray the faith of the
white and Negro workers who loaned
their pennies and dollars to free
him, pending appeal, by running
away from the fight. In his col
umn of Aug. Is, Schuyler said:
"Herndon is out on bail and will
probably skip it like the rest"
Schuyler Sends Cynical Reply
In letter received by Herndon
yesterday, Schuyler makes light of
his vicious attack on the heroic Ne
gro fighter against starvation and
Jim-Crow oppression. The full text
of Herndon's wire and Schuylers re-
ply follows:

duction program of 1888, the plow-
under act. Thousands of acres of
land have been rented to the gov
eminent, but only the big land
lords are receiving pay. Small
farmers have received only half of
the money due them, if they have
received any at all. The govern
ment refuses to pay the balance,
offering no reason whatsoever.
Cotton Overproduced
The reason is the fact that every
cotton state in the United States
has already produced more bales
than have been allotted in accord
ance with the Bankhead Bill, in
spite of the stupid so-called lad
justment" act. In order to bring the
cotton production down to the level
of the restrictions of the Bankhead
Bill, more acres will be plowed-
under. Now that the poor farmers
are not willing to pillow under their
cotton again, and because of the
growing unity of the Negro and
white shsre-croppers, tenants and
poor farmers against the New Deal
attacks, it is the aim of the land
lords to force the blowing under of
poor farmers cotton by refusing to
pay them their last half of the
rental premium, as is being done at
the present time.
Only the rich landlords are able
to rent portions of their land to
the government and still run 10
or 20-horse farms, employing hum
dreds of sharecroppers and farm
workers. After the landlords rent
land to the government, they in
turn re-rent it to the tenants, for
which they receive the usual pay
ment.
Forced Labor Farms
That portion which is not re-rent
to tenant farmers is turned into
forced labor farms upon which
evicted troopers and farm wage
workers are forced to toll without
cash pay. If an evicted cropper or
farm worker questions the land
lords honesty regarding his refusal
to pay cash money, or if he refuses
to work on forced labor farm, he
will be Immediately cut off the re-
lief rolls. The names of these So
called '1ntolerables" are handed in
to the local relief officials, who
carry out the instructions of the
landlords.
After the first reduction of acres,
a second followed. The first had
allowed the poor farmers and ten
ants to plant from 10 to IL acres
of cotton. Af.er they had planted
their cotton, put their fertilizer and
labor in the land, the landlord
A. A. A. officials returned and told
them that they would have to re-
duce even more acres, in accordance

many of them awaiting trial for
leading the working class in its
fight against hunger and fascist

Hurl Threats

CAMDEN, N. J., Aug. 26.-The
four hundred striking carpenters,
truck drivers, laborers, and other
workers on the high speed line over
the Delaware River Bridge, refused
to permit their ranks to be split,
IN spite of various attempts by P.
w. A. officials and the contractor
to break their unity.
Yesterday P. w. A. officials of
New Jersey threatened to replace
the strikers with 200 strikebreakers.
At the same time Mandel Marcus,
of the Marcus Construction Com
pany, holder of the P. w. A. con-
tract for the project, raised the red
scare.
"Seventy-five per cent of the men
are ready to go back to work, but
are afraid to do So" he charged in
a statement to the press. Il am
ready to deal with bona f1de en-
ployees, but I'll have nothing to

ences to be settled by federal medi-
ators shortly.
But the strikers, at strike meet
ing last night, voted to reject all
mediation, and have no dealing
with the mediator other than plac-
ing their demands before him.
William Brown, president of the
Construction Workers Industrial
Union, leading the strike, denied
any outsiders were involved.
The workers demand recognition
of their union; wage increases from
SO cents to 80 cents an hour for
unskilled, and from $l.20 to $3.50
for skilled workers. They also de-
mand that Marcus stop the prac-
tice of hiring sSiEed men as help
ers and paying them so cents to rs

Red Flag Is Hoisted
On Swedish Cruiser
In Thaelmann Drive

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 13 (By
MaiD "A red flag, inscribed with
the slogan Free Thaelmann,"
was hoisted by sailors aboard the
Swedish cruiser "Drottning Vic
toria" this week.
This occurrence, rejecting the
great prestige Ernst Thaelmann,
German Communist leader i'm
prisoned by the Nazis, has among
the European masses, has caused
a great outburst of fury in the
Swedish capitalist press. Not the
least cause Of the hysteria of the
newspapers is the fact that the
flag was undoubtedly a symbol
of the rising revolutionary feeling
in the armed forces.
