with the lynch officials, who have
savagely prosecuted the boys.
Mrs. Norris, speaking with I'M
concealed indignation and literally
shouting her words into the micro
phone, declared, "I don't want any
thing to do with this Leibowitz
racket. We won't let them get away
with what they are trying to get
away with. We know that legal
steps alone won't save those boys, 1t
takes the unity of all of us, we all
must let the lynchers know we
stand united The 1. L. D. is the
only organization that I know, and
my boz. Clarence, told me he wants
me TO stick with the I. L. D."
Mrs. Wright Tells of Threats
and Lies
Mrs. Ada Wright told Of how
Rev. Lorenzo H. King and Rev.
Richard Bolden of Harlem had
visited several of the parents of the
boys at Chattanooga, Tenn, in the
company of John Terry, Leibowitz'
thug secretary who attempted to
drive Ben Davis, Jr., editor of the
Negro Liberator, out of Montgomery
Ala. She told of the intrigues of
these people with Alabama lynch
officials, of how John Terry was
always to be found in the Office
of Attorney General Knight, who
has led the hue and cry for the
blood of the nine innocent Negro
lads, of how Terry and the Negro
ministers browbeat the mothers
telling them that the boys woulc
sit in the "hot seat just as sure a:
you are sitting in the cold seat now.

will be no settlement without each

John De Petro, chairman Of the
local Dyers Executive Board,
stated: This strike can be won be-
cause there will be no German to
sell us out" He received tremen-
dous applause.

mist League member was beaten by
Ammerato when distributing a
Communist Party statement to the
strikers outside the Roseland Ball
room meeting. Workers were ca
gerly buying the Daily Worker on
their way to the meeting.
For Rank and File Control
Fifteen hundred silk weavers at
membership meeting Saturday
morning proved a tremendous dem
onstration for Rank and File con-
troll and crushing defeat to the
reactionaries under the leadership
of the Lovestoneite Keller. The
sentiment of the workers prevented
the contemplated plan of officials
to initiate expulsion of militants
as reported in Jewish Daily For
ward last Saturday Attempts tc
elect some unknown individual
named Ham by the reactionaries as
chairman Of the meeting were de-
feated by the overwhelming vote
for an active rank-file worker
Phillian, who was elected. Keller
proceeded to kill the meeting by
reading long reports, beginning
with the minutes of the last mem
bership meeting in August and g
long series of Executive Boarc
Meetings minutes since and hi
own report which lasted an hour.
He did not say one word on the
need for united action with thu
striking dyers. The proposal To-
strike was greeted with tremendous
applause and it means that at leas
half the industry would soon be in
Yolved.

before the lynchers ended his tor
lures by Kidding his body with bull

Battered Body Drapped to
Farm
The battered body was then
dragged by the mob of 1000 to the
farm Of George Cannidy, father of
the murdered white girl, who had
been promised he would be permit
ted to fire the first shot at Neal
After the body had been viewed by
the entire Cannidy family and sew
eral of them had fired bullets into
it, the body was then taken 10 the
yard of the local court house.
The Times Courier Mariana
newspaper, announcing the plans of
the lynchers, had quoted deputy
sheriff as saying in his opinion the
mob would not be bothered either
before or after the lynching.
Governor Dave Sholtz of Florida
in calling out the troops, only after
the lynchers had been given time to
carry out their plans, declared
that under existing circumstances
1T would have been futile to call
out the militia" He described the
lynching as mot only deplorable but
so absolutely unnecessary" and
stressed the rapidity with which the
Florida lynch courts move to rail-
road accused Negroes to execution

Industrial Independence
Our heavy industry is coming
out on a wide road of independence.
It's rise is characterized not. only
by an. effort to take first place in
the world as regards smelling, pig
iron and other products, but also
by the fact. that all enormous new
constructions (the Moscow subway,
a second track on the Siberian rail-
way, new metallurgical engineering
works. were erected by our own
means, equipped by home made
plants. From technical view
point the country is becoming. less
dependent on the capitalist world.
"The development OF industry,
particularly of agricultural ma
chine production, enabled the Party
to carry out its greatest plan-the
collectivization of peasant farming
and thereby the drawing of millions
of petty scattered poor and middle
farmers into Socialist construction.
Now that the results of collec-
tive farming are at hand, when
even the blind see the progress Of
collective production, when the COL
lective farms have become firmly
rooted in the form Of farming, it
can be said with a feeling Of salts
faction This is a wonderful victory.
The great unprecedented recon-
struction of farming, carried out at
the initiative and under the direc-
lions of Comrade Stain. opened
new wide prospects for peasant par
ticipation in the contraction of So
cialisn.
"Citizens of the Socialist state
can't think Of themselves as isol-
ated from the toilers of the whole
werid. They take a deep interest
in international relations, in the
position of the working class and
of the poorest peasantry beyond
the frontiers of the U. s. S. II.
The international situation Will
take up fitting place in the cleo
ton campaign. In comparing our
country with capitalist countries,
in the most striking examples the
results of our work become more
manifest. The relations within
capitalist countries are full Of the
instability and uncertainty of the
future. This is usually explained
by the raging world crisis. To a
great extent this is right, but the
formation of enormous armies OF
unemployed Is also conse-
quence of so-called rati0naliZa-
ton of production lengthening
the working day, causing child
labor, reduction In wages, an ex-
ceptional fall in the prices Of
farming produce and rise in
the prices of factory goods, which
leads to the pauperization of the
masses, fall in the umber of
buyers and a fall in the total
sum of currency on the market,
which In turn strikes various cap
italists with the same weapon
: which they use against the work
ing class and the peasantry. Such
. is the actual state of affairs in
capitalist countries. There is no
doubt that the coming elections
will demonstrate before the whole
world the entirely different SIT
uation here in the country OF
proletarian dictatorship.

still blacklisted as a result of his
sellout of the general strike which
German termed an amazing VIC
tory" In reality, thousands more
than that are blacklisted. The de-
mands of the textile workers in this
strike of half a million textile
workers, for higher wages, abolition
of stretchout, recognition and the
thirty hour week were all lost. Evic-
tons continue, in spite of Germans
statement that they have ceased.
Among the mills which have ad-
mittedly called for strike sanction
are mills throughout North and
South Carolina and some New En-
gland mills. German admitted that
blacklist prevails in 1853 mills. He
once more attempted to forestall
these growing strikes by declaring
he will sanction strikes, if adjust
ment is not made after visit by a
representative of the National Tex
tile Labor Relations Board" He thus
stalls for more delay by once more
trying to get the workers to rely on
the very Roosevelt boards which
have put these workers in their
present desperate plight.
German spoke at a meeting at
the Socialist Rand School. East
Fifteenth Street, togther with Louis
Waldman state chairman Of the So
cialist Party, Saturday and admitted
that it seems likely we will be
forced to enter a new series of
strikes" The meeting marked an
other step in the approach of the
Socialist Party leaders and the
Green bureaucracy of the A. F. of L.
towards complete merger. 1t fol-
lows the election of D. Dubinsky

Animal Not on the List

The government recently sent an
appraiser into a county district in
South Dakota to list the livestock on
hand and set value upon it.
The young appraiser from the city
did not know one animal from
another, so he had a little book of in
structions with him describing the
various classes of livestock and tell
ing him how to value each according
to age, condition and breed.
But the very first animal he saw
was a goat, and he was unable to find
it described in the book. He i'm
mediately wired his superiors in
Washington as follows:
"Have found animal with forlorn
face, long beard, a skinny body, and
bare rump. What is its name and
what valuation shall l set upon it ?"
A few hours later he received this
reply from his headquarters in the
national capital:
"The animal you described is a
farmer and has no value"

New Deal Notes

What wonderful country this is.
After five years of depression we are
still so prosperous that some of those
depending on government relief can
drive to the relief stations for their
checks in their own automobiles.
Argentine meat importations last
year totalled nearly 100000 pounds
and good share of this went directly
into relief distributions. A great help
this was to the American farmer.
A farmer may buy farm on which
to raise no hogs with money he made
by not raising hogs.
A farmer came to town for a man
to work one week. He was told the
government pays twice as much per
day and works the men half as many
hours.
An Iowa man was threatened with
punishment because he was building
his own residence with day labor. The
NRA says that makes him contrac-
tor and subject to an assessment of
$3.50 for code administration. There
go personal liberty and established
rights.)

Ger and couple of college professors.
They've taken all the responsibility off
my shoulders"
"Got the old farm paid for, Cyl"
"Shucks! l don't worry about the
mortgage no more. Uncle Sam looks
after that. don't even know what the
mortgage is. Some day when the
government men are around, III ask

Now that the election is over, the
victory parade finished, and Richie
finally ousted, there might be room in
these columns for a few humble words
Of my own-or somebody else's, de-
pending upon whether or not the brain
will function.
Richie sent word down the line
once too often. He failed to ring the
bell in loads of places, in spite of
threats of losing jobs if they didn't
vote for the King, Gear, Potentate, or
what have you.
Even if the teachers did promise the
higher-ups, and the Baltimore State
police, carry Richie signs on their
cars, evidently an executive order)
there must have been quite few jump
the traces.
The cogs didn't grind according to
custom. 1t was one time that man
triumphed over machine.
And that asinine jim Farley, the
patronage distributor of the Demo-
Gratis, read the burial service over the
Republican party which he said had
gone to its last resting place.
That is simply too silly for words,
especially to Garrett countians. And
it won't take many years for him to
find out just how foolish he is. When
the head gets too big for the rest of
the body, then the wobbling begins,
And do they fall hard?
%%#
Here's what one Garrett countian
thinks of the New Deal and Relief
He says: II have been working on
what is called relief. Now, | have
another name for it. The ones who
get the relief are the ones who don't
need it. They get five and one-half
days at high salary. We workers
get one and two days per week and
aOouC oIle-l1CH JIG dIlouLC IIey pay
in the offices per day. They get the
relief. l get two days per week and
1 hold drill in one hand and use a
striking hammer in the other. I get
80 cents per hour. That is hard work
but it is called relief. I would like to
have some of those who get relief
work in offices, come around and work
with me awhile. Relief work is one
of the biggest nuisances that ever was
carried on in the United States"
