legally murdered in Georgia yes
terday, and two in North Caro-
lima, the legalized butchery of
three in Mississippi brought the
total of legal lynchings in one
day to seven in three southern
states. This mass butchery was
surpassed only on Feb. 9, when
nine Negroes were legally lynched
in three southern states: five in
Alabama, three in Texas and one
in Arkansas.
FERNANDO, Miss, March 49,
The legalized butchery of young
Negro workers, victims of the tradi-
tional rape" frame-up by which
the southern lynch lords seek to
Justify their violent suppression OF
the Negro masses, was carried out
this morning in a holiday atrno-
sphere as thousands of white mer-
chants and landowners poured into
fernando from the surrounding
country.
The legal mass lynching was wit
messed by Clyde Collins, merchant
of Holly Springs, Miss, father of

WASHINGTON, March Is.
= The representative of the

atmosphere surrounding en-
ployer spokesman and American
Federation of Labor leaders headed
by John L. Lewis, Philip Murray
and William Green today in the
Senate Labor Committees hearing
on the Wagner Compulsory Arbitra-

Bill Dunno, the T.UU.L. spokes-
man, took the floor on the hearing
and registered determined protest
while demanding an opportunity to
testify against the bill on behalf of
large sections of the working class
who are opposed to this bill in
toto"
While Lewis, Murray and other

Dunno protested against the hear
ing of only those speakers who are
supporters of the strike breaking
Wagner measure.
Defending the bill for more than
two hours, Lewis had insisted upon
the obvious falsehood that the Wag-
ner bill guarantees the right OF
workers to organize.

Socialists Lose
Fight Against
Anti-Wa ar Meet
Columbia Students Vote
Support of League
Against War

NEW YORK.-Attempts of So
cialist students to force the Column
bia University Anti-War Committee
to withdraw from the American
League Against War and Fascism
were definitely defeated when 300
delegates overwhelmingly voted in
favor of affiliation at the second
anti-war conference held in Co.
lunbia University Wednesday night.
A resolution not to support the
United States "in any war it might
conduct" was unanimously adopted.
At the previous conference held
last November, a purely pacfist
resolution against "all wars" had
been adopted.
The conference also voted to fight
the war moves in the New Deal, to
demand all war funds for unem-
ployment relief and education, for
support Of the liberation struggles
of American colonies against Yam
kee imperialism, and for the de-
Tense of the Soviet Union.
Socialists Attack American League
Except for the question of af1lia-
ton to The American League
Against War and Fascism, there
was little disagreement among the
delegates. The permanent commit
tee elected by the first conference
had af1liated with the League.
When this question came up a few
Socialist students attempted to car
ry out the instructions of the So
cialist Party to smash the American
League whenever and wherever
possible. They tried to divert the
discussion from one on the best
methods of fighting war to one CEN
tering about the Madison So. Gar
den incident several weeks ago
when Socialist leaders attacked C.
A. Hathaway, editor of the Daily
Worker" and precipitated disorder.
The Socialist students aroused a
great deal of resentment among
non affiliated delegates.
Socialists Support ALL. Leaders
Answering the assertion of So
cialists that because the American
Federation of Labor is not in the
American League Against War and
Fascism, the latter organization
was ineffective, because "only the
A. F. of L. can get workers to stop
war, shipment of munitions, etc. -
DR.. Treadwell Smith, former Co.
lumbia professor, brought enthusi-
astic applause from the delegates
when he said:
THE A. F. of L. supported the last
war, is supporting war moves now,
The only way to get unity with the
leaders of the A. F. of L. is to be
pro-war, not anti-war."
Dr. Addison T. Cutler and James
Mendenhall of Columbia, spoke in
favor of affiliation with the Ameri-
can League Against War and Fas-
cism.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16.
General Hugh S. Johnson, MIRA.
Administrator, has made or will
shortly make proposal to the
anti-union automobile manufactur-
ers to hold an e,ection to determine
whether the workers desire a union,
according to reports all over Wash
ington. An announcement is eX-
pected late today. Obviously, an
election" to be held at some future
time would be maneuver to keep
the rank and file, who are openly
eager for striking, at work until
the passing of the impending peak
season when the employers will
lose little by a cessation of work.
Opening their campaign to line
up public sentiment against the
automobile workers, the manufac-
turers called in the press today to
help them disseminate demagogic
propaganda so that the gathering
strike storm may be diverted or
aborted. THE employee representa-
would like some assurance that the
opponent of this bill would be given
an opportunity to testify So far
only an impressive array of opinion
in favor of the bill has been heard. )"
Most of the witnesses have con-
tended that opposition to the bill
comes only from business barons.

 Buster, with his own name of Larry recently restored to him for cinematic purposes, got into pie lures because of his physique and to date he had to take off his shirt in every picture. And when he heard that Mae was writing a prize fighter role in Tt Amt No Sin" Buster went into training.
 While in high school in Hono- lulu I won the light heavyweight championship, so I'm not green to fighting. And a part in a Mae West picture is worth fighting for, he said, or gasped, between punch ing sessions with Joe Ferry, his boxing instructor.

HELEN HAYES
 IS STARRED IN
 CHINESE DRAMA
Splen did Case Supports Star in ''Son-Daughter'
 at Capitol Theatre

The mazes of San Francisco's Chinatown, its plots. intrigues and tong battles, and the romance of Chinese girl who sells herself at auction to aid her countrymen, furnish the dramatic background of "The Son-Daughter,' in which Helen Hayes, heroine of SThe Sin of Madelon Claudet," and Ramon Novarro are teamed at the Capitol Theatre.
 The Metro-Goldwyn Mayer fea- ture, based on David Belasco's fa- nous stage play, is a colorful and spectacular expose of the inner workings of Chinatown and the struggle that existed between royal ists and revolutionists. Gorgeous celebrations, great gambling dens and romance are entrusted with the intrigues of grim hatchetmen in the secret catacombs of the Ori- ental quarter.
 Miss Hayes as Lien Wha
 Miss Hayes appears as Lien Wha, the Chinese heroine who sells her self at the marriage altar for the sake of patriotism, and Novarro is the Chinese lover who extricates her from her predicament. Miss Hayes is very beautiful in Chinese garb, and enactS a role that rises to the heights of dramatic power with the delft artistry that raised her to stardom as 'Madelon Clau- det." Novarro, as the young Chi nese prince, is convincing, and does a number of dramatic scenes with force and power. He also sings a Chinese song delightfully."-.
 Clarence Brown directed the diff ficult story with the skill that marks his work in "Letty Lynton" and other pictures. Lewis Stone ap- pears as the stern but kindly Chi nese father, Warner Gland plays the sinister highbinder Fen Sha with skill, and Ralph Morgan, Lou | ise Closer Hale, H. B. Warner and the rest of the elaborate cast are all ideally cast. The costumes and Chinese settings are spectacular. The great feast, the march of the Chinese Dragon, and other details mark the picture as one of the years major productions.

AMAZING FILM IS BASED ON
 ACTUAL FACT
The Match King Opening at Coliseum Theatre
 Shows Swindle

A picture with background of strange romances and colossal if nancial and political intrigues. The Match King" featuring Warren William and the exotic Lii Da- mita, will open today at the Coli scum Theatre.
 Its plot rivals in imagination the widest fiction and would scarcely be believed were it not that it has a counterpart in real life, the story having been suggested by scream ing newspaper headlines that re- gently shocked both continents when financial octopus commit ted suicide The headlines revealed the worlds most gigantic swindle.
 Not only does the story taken from the novel by Einar Thorvald- son, reveal the tremendous schemes for world domination by finan- cial genius, but it bares his per sonal romances with women from every walk of life, from the lowest to those in the highest society.
 The dominant trait of this char acter, as portrayed by Warren Will liam, is ambition and ruthIessness. After making love to many women, he even uses them as puppets to further his overwhelming desire for power, regardless of what hap pened to the victims of his mag netic personality.
 The picture has been painted in vivid and glowing colors for the screen through the adaptation of Houston Branch and Sidney Suth- erland. There is an able supporting cast which includes Glenda Far rell,. Harold Huber, Spencer Char ters, John Wray, Murray Kinnell, Hardy Albright, Juliette Compton and Claire Dodd. It was directed by Howard Bretherton and William Keighley,
