which ended yesterday as an
Outstanding mile post in strug-
gle of the American working

splendid fight. The campaign was
a part of the struggle Of the
workers in the shops, factories

now make the piling up Of big
Communist vote a high point in
the mobilization of workers in
the unions and in the shops for
a united struggle against war
and fascisrn"

APPEAL TO co
TO ROOSEVELT
ID Ell e e alton Will Visit
Capital to Demand
Boys Freedom

A national delegation of prom
inent Negro and white liberals, to-
gether with representatives of vari-
GUS working class organizations, will
go to Washington on Nov. IL to de-
mand of President Roosevelt that
he Immediately issue an executive
order to halt the execution of the
Scottsboro boys
This action was decided upon by
the National Scottsboro-H erndon
Action Committee, which will spon-
scr the delegation. The Committee
pointed out that the Presidents
power TO comply with this demand
was proved from established pre-
cedent and by quotation from the
fundamental laws of the country in
the pamphlet Mr.. President, Free
the Scottsboro Boys" published by
the International Labor Defense a
few months ago.
Appeals for Funds
The committee at the same time
issued an appeal for militant sup
port of the fight led by the Inter
national Labor Defense to prevent
the legal murder of Haywood Pat
terson and Clarence Norris on Dec.
Z, as decreed by the Alabama Su-
preme CURT. 1t called for stormy
m ass demonstrations throughout
the country, delegations to local Of
ficials and city councils demanding
they protest the outrage. 1t urged
all real friends of the Scottsboro
boys and the Negro people to rush
contributions to the I. L. D., Room
610, 30 E. 18th st., New York City,
to finance the legal and mass cam
paign. 1T has been conclusively
shown" the committee declared at
its last meeting, that the I. L. D.
is the organization chosen for their
defense by the boys and their moth
ers, who have declared their final
and definite reputation of Samuel
Leibowitz and the Negro mislead-
ers who shamelessly attempted to
scuttle the defense at this critical
moment

MOBILIZATION

With the greatest concentration
of police forces ever seen at an
election in New York City, voting
will begin today throughout the
metropolis in a highly charged
atmosphere.
More than $4,000 uniformed pa
trolmen, besides numerous detec-
tives, will be on duty at the more
than 1000 polling places in every
election district, Police Commits
Sioner Lewis J. Valentine announced
yesterday in a press conference at
the mayors office.
This figure is an increase even
over those in the primaries, and is
seen by observers as an expression
of the desperate attempt of the
Fusion administration forces to
maintain their hold of the city
Government against the Tammany
forces. The position of Controller,

30-hour week.
Stettin, a supporter of the Love

cannot get the 30-hour week and

that came from all parts of the

of the workers that Stettin had to
give up his attempt to advise the
workers why they should retreat
when their lines are more solid than
ever, and chance for victory the
greatest.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov s.
Daniel j. Mccormack, Commits

day issued a blunt threat of in
creasing terror against militant
foreign-born workers.
To a delegation representing or
ganized trade unionists and pro-

against current drives to deport
and hound foreign-born working
class leaders, Mccormack gave this
fascist warning: You'd better tell
those foreign-born workers not to
engage in any activities that could
be interpreted as Communist e.
There is no question but that when
the next Congress meets, more
stringent deportation laws will be
enacted"
He frankly confirmed that during
strikes, employers call upon the
Department of Labor to round up
all militant foreign-born workers,
both Communists and non Com

tinue.

.Doughton Issues
Statement On
Cotton Program

Representative R. L. Doughton,
candidate for Congress in the Ninth
District, made the following state
ment relative to the Bankhead cot
ton bill which has come up for
much discussion and some criticism:
This legislation" Mr.. Dough-
ton stated, twas enacted upon the
demand of at least 80 per cent of
the cotton farmers through their
organizations and representatives.
The administration of the law
doubtless in some cases has not con-
formed fully with the purposes of
the act. 1t is recommended by some
that this law should be amended to
allow an exemption of 3, 4, $, or
e bales to small farmers. If the
farmers consider this the solution
of the problem, I shall be glad, of
course, to support such an amend
ment and all that will be necessary
as far as | am concerned, as their
representative, will be for the cot
ton farmers to make known, such
desire. In fact, any amendment
they decided will be in their inter-
est will receive my hearty support,
or if after full elaboration and
consideration the cotton farmers in
my district deem it in their inter-
est % have the law repealed, l
pledge my best efforts to carry out
their wishes.
"The President, the Democratic
Congress and the Democratic Party
are determined to continue their
efforts to restore prosperity to az
,riculture and the farmer needs only
to submit his wants to the party
now in power and it will be re-
sponsive to their mandate. Those
who are now most bitter in their
criticism of what has been done
were responsible for the low price
of cotton and other farm COM
modities and have nothing to offer
but carping criticism"

farmers from the payment of the
small tax imposed on surplus cot
ton production.
The Senator's and Congressman
argue, it was stated, hat since the
Administration started Out to re-
duce the crop to 10,400,O0O bales
and it has been already reduced to
100000 bales, that some relief
should be given the small growers
who only raise cotton to provide a
little cash for winter clothing, etc.
1t was also learned that a plan
was considered to recall all al
lotment certificates issued to grow
ers of six bales or under and
new certificates for the entire crop,
tax free, be issued in their stead.
These changes, it is believed, will
stop to a great extent the objections
to the measures by the small cotton
growers and will not materially
change the status of the reduction
program. -. ).

Washington.-1t was learned here
on good authority today that the
department of Agriculture and al
lied governmental agencies, were
drafting a plan to exempt the
small cotton farmer from the pay,

Although everyone admits that
the Bankhead cotton act and other
measures taken to reduce the big

000, 900 bales, have put many mil

more uproar in New York than any
other municipal proposal in years
the measure providing for a city

grounds, the mayor vetoed the bill
