that the Department of Labor

Protest Actions
Urged To Stop Mass
Murder Of 9NegrOeS

NEW YORK. An appeal to the
toiling masses, white and black, for
militant nationwide protests against
the plans Of the Alabama rulers for
a mass legal lynching on Feb. 9, 1884,
Of nine Negro workers, as told in the
Daily Worker Friday in a dispatch

day by William L. Patterson, National
Secretary of the International Labor
Defense.
The nine workers, one OF them a
woman, were slapped into Jail in va
rous parts of the State Of Alabama.
and sentenced in a. single days mass
execution. The Alabama Supreme
Court, before whom the Scottsboro
case is to come for review, speedily
affirmed the death sentences and or
dered mass execution of the nine
workers. The horrible story of how
one Of the nine defendants, Ben Fos-
ter, was tortured and framed, was told

part:

and must prevent this cruel murder.
we cannot hesitate for moment.
Let us throw every searchhght Of

5000 Hail Daily
At Anniversary
Celebration In NY.
Hathaway Urges Wide
Circulation for
Paper
BY ROBERT KENT

NEW YORK. Eight thousand
workers, many of them travelling long
distances despite damp zero weather,
gathered in the Bronx Coliseum Sat-
urday night to hail the Daily Worker,
Central Organ of the Communist
Party, U. S. A., on its tenth anniver-
sary.
The celebration was a festival Of
splendid revolutionary entertainment
and an enthusiastic demonstration by
the workers of their devotion to the
Daily Worker.
AS C. A. Hathaway, editor of the
Daily Worker and main speaker of
the evening, was introduced by Mich
ael Gold, chairman, the large audi
Ience rose and sang the "Interna-
tionale"
Hathaway outlined the achieve
ments of the Daily made possible
in the face Of numerous difficulties
by the support Of the workers. The
audience cheered him When he
declared that regardless of any at
tempts made by the bosses in the
future to suppress the Daily" the
American Communist Party would
continue to publish and circulate it
just as the German Communist Party
continues to print and circulate its
Central Organ, the "Rote Fahne u
under the Nazi terror.
He called for immediate intensifi-
cation of effort by American work
erS, to broaden the circulation of the
Daily Worker among American work
ers as an effective step for heading
off the rise of fascism in America.
Preceding Hathaway, Moissaye j
Olgin, greeted the Daily Worker in
behalf of the Morning Freheit, jew
ish Communist daily newspaper, OF
which he is the editor.
Richard B. Moore, National Secre-
tary of the League of Struggle fol
Negro Rights, cited the role played
by the Daily Worker in the battles OF
the Negro masses against discrimina-
ton and lynchings.
A group of new Soviet songs by
Sergei Radamsky were so popularity
received by the audience that this
noted tenor, just back from the U. S
S. r., had to give number of en-
cores.
The large audience applauded re-
soundingly the splendid programs OF
new dances, songs and dramatic num-
bers presented by the New Dance
Group Of the Workers Dance League
Daily Worker Chorus and the Thea
tire of Action Of the Workers Labora-
tory Theatre.
Dancing followed the entertainment
and speeches.

Workers Robbed of
Compensation Says
REPORT to Lehman
THE STAR PUPIL

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 81
Failure to protect disabled workers,
graft and abuses at the expense OF
the workers, are revealed in the re-
port to Governor Lehman of his
Medical Committee on Workmen's
Compensation. A number of meth
DDS of cheating the injured worker
out of his compensation are mem
toned in the report which declares
that notorious racketeering'' is
going on. These include the failure
Of the lay referees of the Depart
ment of Labor and the State In
dustrial Board to place on disability
lists workers who are entitled to
compensation. The report blames
this difficulty of injured workers to
receive compensation on the fact
that the referees are not physicians.
1t does not point out that these
boards make decisions against
workers in order to save the en-
ployers money - that they are
boards functioning in the interests
Of the employers. The report adj
mits that injured workers are Csc
riously handicapped" in attempting
to establish the character and ex-
tent of their injuries.
On this question the report to
Lehman recommends only that a

of three physicians be set ND and
the addition of one physician to
the Industrial Board. 1t makes no
mention of control by the workers
of distribution of compensation, the
committee being content to leave
this in the hands of the employers
government boards.
Another series of abuses against
injured workers is disclosed in the
report. These include the supplying
of "cut rate" doctors, who are often
incapable of treating the cases as
signed to them, and failure to sup
ply specialists, and adequate med
ical and surgical treatment.
The report declares that the city
of New York has engaged in the
practice of fee splitting. It adj
mits that the State Insurance Fund
of New York State has pursued the
practice of cutting rates for medical
service below ga reasonable mini
mum figure" and that this practice
lis common among compensation

veals also, that the decisions of the
Department of Labor "are often
unfair" to the worker.

Socialist Leaders
See Big 1894 New
Deal Opportunities
BY SEYMOUR wALDMAN


DAILY Worker Washington Bureau1
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The So
cialist Party appeals to the workers to
rise to their opportunities, in a
statement surveying the prospects of
the new year." issued here today
through Norman Thomas and Louis
Waldman, its chairmen.
Though protesting to see a lack of
fundamental reform" under the Blue
Eagle, the Socialist leaders not only
fail to make one specific indictment
Of the National Recovery Act, but &C
tually state that it has made certain
concessions to the workers" They
take this position despite even Ad-
ministration admission of the drastic
cuts in wages and disregard for the
workers choice of their own unions
under the New Deal.
Bracketing itself with the govern
ment, the Socialist Party demagog-
ically takes credit for U. S. recogni-
ton of the Soviet Union: 'SThe one
redeeming feature in our interna-
tional relations for which we have
cause to be grateful is that in 1888
we finally ended the policy Of non
recognition of Russia"
In pulpit tones, the Socialist lead
ers conclude with a plea for the
worker to lie down under the heel of
his eXploiter, one Of the favorable
Socialist possibilities of 1884: 1.-THE
year 1894 opens with possibilities that
the working people, if they will rise
TO their opportunities, can turn to
the advantage of their class and their
nation.
A New Era"
The complete Socialist New Year
blessing follows:
Laissez-faire capitalism, which
had come to be synonymous with the
rugged individualism for which Her
bert Hoover went down defending,
had ceased to exist long before the
advent of 1888. 1t was not the doc
trine that was invoked when it was
necessary to supply the financiers
and industrialists with government
assistance in order to rescue them
from the effects of their own folly
and the folly of a system which
makes it possible for millions to
starVe in the midst of plenty. 1t was
however, resurrected and invoked
when the question was raised of rem
dering direct help to those who were
in distress. Laissez faire is now off,
cially dead. With it has also died
the New Capitalism" of 1928, which
was going to make everyone rich.
Internationally, conditions today
are much worse than they were when
