LID to Appeal
HerndOn Case
On Mon d y

NEW YORK.-The first step in
bringing the appeal OF Angelo Hern-
don, young Negro Communist leader
of the unemployed, sentenced 20
from Is to 20 years on the chain
gang, before the United State Su-
preme Court, will be taken Monday
with the filing of the appeal with
the Supreme Court of Georgia, it
was announced yesterday by Anna
Damon, acting national secretary
of the International Labor Defense.
The appeal papers have been pre-
pared by Whitney North Seymour
of the firm of Simpson, Thacher,
and Bartlett, well-known constitu-
tional authority, and former as
sistant Solicitor General of the
United States.
The appeal attacks the constitu-
tionality of the old slave "insur-
rection" law under which Herndon
was convicted, especially in its in
depreciation by the trial court and
the Georgia Supreme Court.
In its original opinion, the
Georgia Supreme Court ruled that
Herndon was guilty" if his actions
would lead to instruction at any
time" in the future. In a revised
opinion, however, after the court
realized that this decision was
clearly unconstitutional, it stated
that at would be sufficient If he
intended that it forcible resistance
to the authority of the state) should
happen at any time within which
he might reasonably expect his
influence to continue to be directly
operative in causing such action
by those whom he sought to in
duce."
Herndon was convicted on evil
dence that he organized a DEM
onstration for unemployment relief
in which both Negroes and whites
participated together.

Butler Clerks
Plan To Take
Strike Vote

After an all-day conference Tues
day at the offices of the Regional
Labor Board, representatives of the
Butler Grocery Company and of the
Grocery Chain Stores Executives
and Employees Association failed
to come to an agreement. The
union has announced that strike
vote will be taken among the 800
employees of the company, $50 Of
whom are already in the union.
The Butler Company's Board of
Directors, in their meeting Tuesday
afternoon, turned down the pro-
posal that they pay the 200 workers
discharged because of the closing
of 8 stores substantial bonus,
place them at the head of the list
of prospective employees, and grant
union recognition on the basis of
a preferential union shop. This
would mean that in all hiring union
members would get first choice.
Disclosing that refusal to recog-
nize the grocery chain union is at
the bottom of the company's &C
ton, James Butler, Jr., in reply to
these proposals for a settlement,
declared that "there is no proof
that the Grocery Chain Store
Executives and Employees Associa-
ton really spoke for the bulk of the
workers" The Butler Company
closing Of 8 stores, in which almost
all the workers were union mem
bers, followed Immediately after a
poll conducted by the Regional La
Dor Board, which resulted in a sub
stantial majority for the union.
Mr.. Butler further indicated that
the company wants to divide the
workers by forcing company
union, stating that mo agreement
could be signed unless some repre-
sentation is given to those not in
the unions"
Meanwhile the officials of the
Grocery Chain Store Executives
and Employees Association, and of
the Retail Clerks international
Union, with which it is affiliated,
have dropped demands for wage in
creases and shorter hours and ask
only for the reinstatement Of the
200, and some form of recogni-
ton"

Cotton Bosses
Get New Delay
On Injunction
Boston Workers Press
for Strike to En-
force Code

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
Justice Gordon Of the District Of
Columbia Supreme Court put over
until next Tuesday the hearing on
the injunction of cotton garment
manufacturers to prevent the So
hour week and 10 per cent wage in
crease from going into effect.
This is the second postponement,
while 100000 workers in the entire
industry continue to work under a
pay-cut equivalent to four hours
wages per week.
Meanwhile workers throughout
the industry are growing impatient
with the dickering of the National
Industrial Recovery Board. From
Boston comes the report that
strike of the 1000 workers in the
cotton garment industry is being
planned. This decision was made
at a conference of representatives
Of the international Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union, the Arnalga-
mated Clothing Workers, United
Garment Workers, and Raincoat
Workers international Union.
So great is the dissatisfaction of
the workers because the shorter
work week and a 10 per cent wage
increase was snatched away by
last minute trick of the government
and bosses, that David Dubinsky,
International President of the I. L.
G. w. U. and Alex Cohen, Manager
of the Shirt Makers Joint Board of
the A. G. w. issued protest against
the continual delay on the injunc-
ton.
The officials of the garment I'M
ions, although having placed rep
resentatives on the special Indus
trial Committee which granted
wage increase exemptions to the
entire industry, have not yet an
nounced what action the unions
will take if delays continue or if
the restraining order granted the
manufacturers is made permanent.
In letter to all locals, Dubinsky
states:
1.-THE employers make take tenn
porary undue advantage of the
present confusion, as a result of the
dilly-dallying on the part Of the
government and the Industrial
Committee on the part of the Cot
ton Garment Code Authority, but
we are determined to bring about
reduction of work hours and the
stipulated increase in basic wage
rates contained in the original pres
idential order.
"In the course of the next few
days our Office will map out a plan
Of activity and communicate with
all affiliated organizations to guide
you in meeting the situation"
On the other hand seven more
manufacturers joined the growing
list of those pushing the injunction.
The Department of Justice. claim
ing that preparations to defend the
governments ruling have not yet
been completed, furnished the
cause for the further delay.
1t was further disclosed, yester-
day, that the exemptions granted
to the manufacturers have given
impetus to a general wage reduc-
ton drive, and for that reason the
National Industrial Recovery
Board, it is reported is taking
steps to amend the exemptions 50
that no less than the code mini
mum Of $1,000 in the South, and
$500 in the North be paid for a
full weeks wages.

ton against war and fascism, were

leadership is used by the manufac-
turers as an authority and support
in their fascist call TO drive the
Communist Party into illegality.
The report quotes with approval
the report delivered by william
Green to Roosevelt on Communist
Party opposition in the unions
against the A. F. of L. bureaucracy.
Report Is Detailed
The report goes into details of
Communist Party activity in leading
the workers in strikes for higher
wages and better conditions, point
ing with especial alarm to the re-
cent general strike in San Fran
cisco, where only the treachery of
the A. F. of L. leaders. prevented
the workers from winning their full
demands.
This call to outlaw the Commu-
mist Party is a reflection of the
Party's growing influence among the
masses, and the fear by the en-
ployers that the Communist Party
will organize effective resistance to
the new wage-cutting, relief-reduc-
ing drive which has already been
planned with the cooperation of the
Roosevelt government.
The fascist threat against the
Communist Party menaces every
working class political organization
in the country, and every trade
union. 1t is urgent that workers
of all political beliefs, especially
from the A. F. of L. unions and
the Socialist Party form a united
front to defend every civil right
against the menace of fascism.
