BY CYRIL BRIGGS

The ravages of 10 months
of hideous torture in an At
lanta, Georgia, prison hell
plainly showing in his deli
cate physical condition, heroic
Angelo Herndon yesterday
hurled anew his defiance at
the Southern lynch lords, at a
press conference in the national
Office of the International Labor
Defense!
IL am more determined than
ever to carry on the struggle for
the oppressed working class and
the Negro people" he said.
Plainly worn out by his prison
ordeal and the excitement of the
first days of his newly won free
dom, with enthusiastic mass well
comes in New York City and the
cities he passed through on his way
from the South, Herndon again dis
played the high fortitude and cour-
age which marked his conduct in
the court of the class enemy in the
quiet, prompt manner in which he
answered the questions with which
he was piled by both the represen-
tativeS of the revolutionary press
and of the capitalist press.
Unemployed Victroy Enraged Rulers
Asked of his arrest and treatment
in prison, he told of being jailed a
week after an unemployed demon
stration of Negro and white work
ers in Atlanta. Herndon had led
that demonstration in protest
against inadequate relief, discrimi-
nation against Negroes, and the
threat of Atlanta city authorities
to cut off all relief on the pretext
that they had no funds. The dav
following the demonstration, they
we're forced to appropriate 5000
for relief. This magnificent victory
of Atlanta unemployed enraged
the ruling class, and Herndon's ar
rest followed
They took me to the death cell
and tried to force me to sit in
the electric chair. I refused and
they finally gave up the attempt
to torture me then and there.
Later, although / was subjected
to mental torture, frequent soli-
tary confinement and indignities,
and my health deliberately en-
dangered by Unsanitary condi-
tions, they were afraid to beat me
up because of the tremendous
mass protests of white and Negro
workers.
However, I was subjected to un-
speakable mental tortures in an eff
fort to drive me insane. For ex-
ample. when a prisoner died in nv
cell, they left the corpse there for
many hours. The dead man. a
Negro, had been sick for three DAYS
and was denied any medical atten-
ton whatever.
"a month after my conviction. I
was put in solitary, charged with
attempting to escape I was again
placed in the death cell, and re-
moved only after mass protests
modified by the International La
Dor Defense and the Communist
Party. I was then placed in a filthy,
unsanitary cell. Hardened criminals
were housed with me. The jailers
threatened to put homosexuals in
the cell, as well, but were deferred
by the angry protests of the work
ers. Eight or ten of the prisoners
placed in my cell were later cleo
trocuted. and the jailers would
gloatingly taunt me that I would

Gear Philip
ZauSner'STh
TOtterS

l Zausner, illegally-elected
secretary of the N. Y. District
Council of the Painters Union
"a. F. of L., is tottering.
Refused recognition by the
membership which voted him
out of office, he and his
henchmen have let loose a
reign of terror against the
painters which is almost with
out parallel in recent New
York labor history. At least
one man is at deaths door in
a local hospital and numbers
of others have been injured
by Zausner thugs. That not
all of the administration
strong-arm men have escaped
scot-free after their savage
attacks is ample testimony
after their savage attacks
Of the bitterness of the union
men towards the Zausner ma
chine and their willingness to
defend themselves.
The attempt to revoke the
charter of Local 499, the
leading element in the strug-
giles for decent conditions in
the trade and in the fight
against racketeering and
gangsterism in the union, is
but another step in Zausner's
efforts-in which he is being
fully aided by the Interna-
tional officials - to crush
every semblance of trade
union democracy in the Paint
ers Brotherhood.
Zausner, feeling the seat of
power sway under him, is at
tempting to settle the present
strike under the employers
and N. R. A. Boards condi-
lions.
Every intelligent painter
knows what it will mean if
the proposal of Ben Golden of
the Regional NRA Board is
accepted-that the men will
go back under the old condi-
tions and that they will then
be left to the tender mercies
of the employers and Zaus-
ner.
What terrifies Zausner par
ticularly is the fact that the
workers, recognizing their an
cient foe, took the strike
leadership cut of Zausner's
hands and built their own
local strike committees. They
have overwhelmingly refused
to accept Zausner's strike
supervision" and his in
famous work tax.
In setting up their own
local strike committees indie
pendent of the corrupt Zaus-
ner district machine, the
painters have been a model to
the labor movement every
where. Such action, similar
to that undertaken by the
San Francisco longshoremen,
is the best guarantee of vic
tory in the struggle for i'm
proved conditions.
The painters must not per-
nit Zausner to end the strike
on the employers and N.R.A.
conditions. Strike settlements
should be discussed in the To-
Gals and ratified by the men,
bership. The work tax must
be defeated. Rank and file
committees to enforce the
union scale after the men go
back to work should be set up
in each local. The struggle for
the ousting of Zausner and
his whole corrupt machine
must go on. The fight against
racketeering and gangsterism
in the N. Y. Painters Brother
hood must not cease until the
rank and file puts it's own
members into office and guar
antees its own control of the
union. Thus, and thus only,
