Finnish Workers Hall

VAN ETTEN, N. Y, July 81
Barricades have been erected
around the Finnish Hall here where
a summer training school is being
conducted by the youth clubs of
the Finnish Workers Federation
following another attack by Ku
Klux Klan hoodlums Saturday
night.
Hundreds of workers and farm
ers of the surrounding territory
have massed to the defense of the
students. In spite of the danger
from attack, courses are being con-
tinued as before, with students and
workers ready to defend them
selves at any moment.
Saturdays attack was the fourth
in the last two weeks. Hundreds
of hoodlums were mobilized from
several New York and Pennsylvania
towns. The arrival of 20 state po-
lice prevented a clash between the
XXX. and the hundreds of work
ers and farmers defending the
school.
On July 25, the K. K. K. hood
lums broke into the hall, smashed
doors and windows and chased "a

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 81. -
Undaunted by a partial setback in
the fight against jim -Crowism in
the South Side Brasher settlement,
the League of Struggle for Negro
Rights and the Young Communist
League will hold open air meetings
dealing with this issue every We'd
nesday night, directly across the
street from the settlement house, at
30th and Sarah Streets.
The setback occurred Thursday
night at the conference on segre-
cation of Negroes by the settle
ment, when Director Scalack packed
the meeting with chauvinistic ele-
ments to vote down the Y. G. L..
proposal made by Jim Egan for a
debate on the Negro question, by a
vote of 46 to 81.
Scalack spoke first, actually agi-
tating for the continuance of jim
crowism in his role as neutral"
chairman of the meeting.
When Dave Doran, Y. c. L. leader,
blasted the arguments of Scalack
and exposed jim -crowism as de-
vice of the ruling class to split the
workers and weaken their struggles
for better conditions, Scalack again
took the floor to counteract Doran's
talk.
Frankfeld, Careathers, Johnstone
and Egan then took the floor in a
smashing attack on jim -crowism.

class spokesmen and executioners
must echo throughout the ranks Of
the entire working class.
The fight for Herndon and the
Scottsboro boys is a fight against
fascist terror in the South where
already it is rearing its hideous
head, in the form of the reorgan-
lied Ku Klux Klan, the Men of
Justice, the White Legion, the
bloodiest police terror against the
Negro and white workers. 1t is a
fight for the national liberation of
the Negro people. 1t is a fight for
the right of the working class to
live.

Herndon's bail of $4,000 was set
by Georgia's ruling class agents to
prevent his release. They want him
to rot in jail. But the workers of
America must meet this challenged
Herndon's bail must be raised at
once!
The fate of Angelo Herndon and
the Scottsboro boys lies with the
united Negro and white workers OF
America, who must raise their voices
in a mighty protest against the
Southern ruling class and its capi-
talist courts, which are perpetrating
the foulest crimes against the unity
of Negro and white workers Of
America through the Herndon and
Scottsboro cases.

the ruling class offensive against
the liberation struggles of the Ne
gro people. In these two symbols,
the landlord rulers of Alabama and
Georgia have formed a united front
of legal lynch terror to enforce their
bloody system OF peonage against
the sharecroppers, both white and
Negro, and against all the consti-
tutional and national rights of the
Negro people.
What are the points of similarity
in these two cases? In both Scotts-
boro and Herndon, there is the
fragrant and open denial to the
Negro people of their right to sit on
juries; secondly, there is the same
lynch atmosphere whipped up by
the ruling class judges and perse-
cutors; thirdly, there is the clear
fascist attempt of the ruling class
to break the solidarity of the Negro
and white workers by feverish eff
forts to array race against race,
using the subterfuge of the red"
scare to frighten away the white
workers from revolutionary alli-
ance with the Negro masses for
winning their (the white workers.
own liberation from the yoke of
capitalism.
Rulers Use Age-OId Lie Of Rape"
In the Scottsboro cases, the ruling
class uses the age-old bugaboo of
rape" to cloak their offensive
against the Negro masses. When
all other means of chauvinist prop
uganda fail, the capitalists always
fall back upon the rape" theory
the theory that the Negro is inher-
emily brute, "rapist," and in
ferior to the white race.
1t has been worked and over
worked, and now the white worker
is himself realizing to what depths
the southern bourbon rulers will
stoop to keep him hating the Negro
worker, and to keep him enslaved
to the race superiority" poison
which is resulting in wage differen-
tials between North and South, and
lowered living conditions for both
the Negro and white worker.
A Naked Attack Upon Southern
Toilers
The Herndon case is an open, un-
concealed and naked attack upon
the southern workers in Georgia.
The ruling class was in this case
too crude to use even the bugaboo
of rape" Plainly this is case

Terrific Speed-up
Over 5000 Men
By GEORGE GILL

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 31.-The
Pittsburgh Sun Telegraph last week
lauded the fact that the workers in
the Breckenridge plant, Of the Al
legheny Steel Company, have been
provided for. in these sweltering hot
days. It seems that the company
has announced that it will furnish
its workers with gum drops and salt
tablets, to combat the heat.
Little good this will do the more
than hundred workers, that lost
their Jobs as a result Of the shut
down of the foundry department,
three weeks ago.
A number of the workers raised
the question in the local Of the AM
algamated Association "a. F. of L.
but the officials only laughed at
them. Rank and file members Of
this organization, are bitter at the
refusal of these officials to take up
the question with the company. The
workers are demanding that the
work be divided.
More than 5000 workers in this
plant produce sheet tin, working
before open hearth furnaces, bloom
ing mills, and sheet and tin mills.
The company in its announcement
states that the workers will con-
sumo more than 500 pounds of gum
drops. and tablets, during the
month.
The workers see that the off
ciaLs of the AmaIgamated AssO-
citation stand in the way Of their
struggles. The workers know now
the need for unity and will send

tional Bi-AnnuaI Convention of

A Lynching

PELEHATCHIE, Miss, July 81
This little town is seething with in
dignation today over the lynching
of Henry Bedford, 70-year old Negro.
who was brutally whipped to death
by a gang of local white men
Feeling is running so high that
Sheriff Therill was forced to arrest
four of the lynchers and has, more
over, expressed grave fears for their
safety.
Paradoxically, the very instigators
and leaders of the lynch terror, the
white business men and plantation
owners, are the most indignant over
the ynching of the aged Negro But
the reason is not far to seek.
Henry Allen, born before the Civil
War and the so-called emancipation
of the eNgro slaves, had not imbibed
any of the revolutionary traditions
Of the heroic slave instructions led
by Nat Turner, Denark Vesey, and
other Negro revolutionary leaders
Throughout his life, he continued
to be the ideal slave and, like
Charles Houston, N. A. A. C. P.
defense" attorney for the frsme-up
and basey betrayed Negro worker,
George Crawford, had won the
respect" and admiration" of the
lynch rulers. He was considered by
local white business men and land
owners as a proper example to the
Negro masses, if necessarily confined
to narrower sphere than DR.
Robert Motion, George Schuylei and
other Negro reformist mislesders, of
how they should kowtow to the will
and caprice of the white exploiters
and oppressors.
Aliens ynching by nangers-on of
the ruling class is considered an
affront to the white rulers who had
afforded him a patriarehal protec-
ton in sharp contrast to their in
creasingly murderous attacks on
militant Negro workers and farm
laborers.

White, 21-year old Negro youth is
held here on $1,000 bail on
trumped-up rape" charge, which
bears all the ear-narks of the no
torious frame-up by Detroit auto
bosses of James Victory, who was
successfully wrested from the lynch
courts by the militant action of De-
troit Negro and white workers.
White was arrested during Sc
ries of terroristic police raids in
the Negro neighborhoods, after a
white woman, Mrs. Anna Elavsky,
reported she had been attacked by
an unidentified Negro" The
woman claimed she had scratched
her "assailant." Fascist citizen
committees" we're urged by officials
to aid in rounding up any Negro
whose face showed any indication
OF having been scratched. Scores
were arrested. White was held and
bound over for the September
Grand Jury, despite testimony Of
witnesses that he was nowhere nea:
the scene Of the purported attack.
Mrs. Elavsky has failed to iden-
tify White, and is reported ready
to drop the case. The steel bosses
and their police, however, have
eagerly seized on the case as
weapon against the unity Of Negro
and white steel workers and their
preparations for a strike for the
right to organize into unions of
their own choice, and have used
pressure on her to continue the
case.
The League Of Struggle for Negro
Rights is launching an intensive
campaign to smash the frame-up
of White and the attempts of the
steel bosses to stir up race hatred
here and divide the Negro and
white steel workers. Trade unions
and other workers organizations
will be visited and appeals made
for the defense of White and the
Negro masses. The August First
demonstration against war and faS-
cism will be used to mobilize the
workers in defense of Negro rights.
Mass meetings will be held to rally
support against this monstrous
| frame-up.
Protests should be sent to Mayor
Limback, Massillon, and County
Prosecutor Stark, County Court
House, Canton, demanding h e
dropping of this frsme-up attempt
and the release of Cecil White.
