the boys, accused them of drunken
ness and threatened to arrest them.
Parker turned to flee and was shot
in the back by Hungate. Suisse

that the boy was not drunk. Since
assaults of this nature upon work

NY. Teamsters Sweeping Rise
Strike at Ii In Relief Lists
Laundry Shops Is Reported

NEW YORK-Drivers from thir-
teen laundries in Greater New York
have answered the general strike
call of Local $40 of the International
Brotherhood of Transfers.
Groups of strikers in rowing picket
squads, on foot and in cars, were
spread over the Manhattan
area and are attempting to spread
the strike to YorkYille.
Demands put forward by the
strikers are for SIS a week and IS
per cent commission on all laundry
that they bring in, a minimum
guarantee of $25 a week, and recog-
milton of the union.
Strikers announced yesterday that
no agreement will be accepted I'M
less it is voted on by the rank and
file. The negotiations are in the
hands of a large strike committee
consisting of two strikers from each
laundry on strike.
The plan of the strikers is 70
spread the walkout in order to force
a collective agreement covering the
whole industry. At a strike meet
ing Tuesday night criticism was
voiced by the strikers against the
lack of sympathetic picketing,
against splitting up the rowing
squads into small groups instead of
keeping them in mass formation as
was done in the taxi strike.
The Laundry Workers Industrial
Union has offered to call all of it's
shops out on strike and send the
drivers into the same strike hall
with Local 80.

The explosive contradictions be-
tween the brutally oppressed Negro
masses and American imperialism;
the frantic war preparations of the
rival American and Japanese i'm
perialiSts, the maneuverS of jap
anese Imperialism to exploit in its
own interests, in a war situation,
the rising indignation of the Negro
masses against Jim-Crow oppres-
sion-all were laid bare in the
"sedition" trial in Pemiscot County,
Missouri, on Sept. II, of four Negro
organizers of the Pacific Movement
of the Eastern World.
The greatest ferocity and saw
agery of suppression, the most bru-
tai assaults of the most elementary
rights of the oppressed Negro peo-
pie marked this trial in the Black
Belt. The four organizers, one a
woman, were savagely beaten in the
open court room, then forced to
stand, propped up by the officers
OF capitalist 'law and order" to
hear the maximum sentence pro-
nounced. Their attorney was like
wise beaten up and driven out of
town.
The trial was both measure of

for that matter, white workers, tool
are involved, and of the raging
fury end bloody suppression with
which the lynch rulers meet the
least sign of Negro resistance, no
matter how weak or confused Gas
in this case).
The charges against the four Ne
gro organizers throw a brilliant
light on the semi-slave relations

ment to organize their Negro slaves.
The Pacific Movement of the East
ern World, with its Negro petty
bourgeois leadership, does not
directly threaten the rule of the
lynch lords. In fact, it's program
Of race unity" as against working
class unity, effectively aids the
lynch rulers in their policy of divid-
ing their victims along lines of race
and nationality. Why then was the
concentrated fury of the lynch lords
vented on its four organizers?
Briefly stated, the chief reasons
are:
(a) The movement provides a
vehicle for Japanese imperialism to
use the Negro question in the
United States (the difficulties of its
chief imperialist rivaD in the in
terests of strengthening its own
position for the armed conflict in
the Pacific for which both powers
are IranJlcally armllng.
(b) The movement, despite its
reactionary leadership and the OBJ
jective aid it furnishes to world
imperialism, helps to kindle in one
form or another the national self
consciousness of the Negro people.
In the present situation of the
rapid sharpening of all the contra
dictions between the plundered Ne
gro masses and their oppressors,
even the nlist-controlled ma
tional movements tend to become a
danger to U. S. Imperialism, since
to feasibility always exists of the

ing the mislsede and turning to

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. A.
Although complete official figures
have not been given out by the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Administra-
ton for several months, relief esti-
mates thus far disclosed show that
the number of families receiving
relief in 146 representative cities in
creased 3 per cent in August over
July.
In these 146 cities, which repre-
sent 81 per cent of the total urban
population, the amount of relief ex-
penditureS increased 10 per cent
during this same period. This in
crease, however, does not represent
rise in the relief granted, but the
increased cost made necessary by
transference to work relief.
For the country as a whole, an
average of IA per cent of the fam
lilies are receiving relief. Some of
the cities with extremely high per-
centages are: Phoenix, Ariz., SIS per
cent; Butte, Mont, so per cent;
