OWENS E A ON OLYMPICS

Ar 81 81 ~ Hk4Ng
Jesse Owens, American sprint champion was advised by his
Coach at Ohio State University that he was not to protest
against American participation in the coming Olympics to be
held in Berlin. It is obvious that Mr.. Snyder either is sympa
thetlc with the Nazis or does not want to lose the opportunity
of producing an Olympic champ in his protege Owens.
lie warns Owens that "you will be at the bottom of the
ash can If you protest. forgotten man." Already Owens is
acquainted with the fact that he is the forgotten man in this
country. There are many Negro athletes who believe that our
fight should be waged in this country where there are condi-
tions equal to those in Germany.
Except for a few liberals throughout the country, the Jews
are not sympathetic with the Negroes problems in the South.
Why shouldn't they along with other minority groups protest
against Jim Crow in Alabama, the Scottsboro Cases and the
Herndon Case. The fact is few have taken time to think that
minority groups must mass their strength to show power against
this line. The National Jewish World War Veterans last
month endorsed the %antilynch bill and Jewish organizations are
enlsting the support of Negro organizations.
There is little fear that strong resentment to the Olympics
will create a wave of antisemitism in this country. That Ger
many is a fascist state whose chief aim is too make life mis-
cradle for the minority groups is well known and to fight
against our athletes competing in a country where racial pre-
secution Is such should meet with the approval of every right
thinking man or woman in thecountry. 'Dirty Jews and Ne
groes are not welcomed to compete against Germany's best -
so they say and we say to hell with Germany's chest and let's
jew, Negro, and all others interested in keeping our athletes
out Of this fascist state come forward with a vigorous protest
against America participation in the games.

MITCHELL is
VISITING
INDIES
Makes Secret Speech
To Native Groups
At A Reception
PRAISE DEMOS

st. Thomas, V. l., Nov. 16,
(By Adolph Gereau for AMP
Congressman Arthur w. Mitchell
of Illinois, visiting here, was
guest at a reception given in his
honor at Government House by
Governor Cramer last week dur
ing which he made a spe sch
which won him the admiration of
the inhabitants of the island. But
the speech was unexpected and
newspapermen, much to their
chagrin, were caught mapping.
No one took down what the rep
resentative said, and later when
he was asked for a resume he
cody replied by asking, well,
what did | say?" Mitchell said his
wife and various colleagues in
Congress had warned him against
making speeches, and when he
found no one had recorded his re-
marks he breathed q Thank
Godl" g. Il;
mo embarrassments will come
OF me as a result of what l said,"
he told reporters.
However, Mitchell did laud
President Roosevelt and the New
Deal before the officers of the
marine corps, government Off
Gals, legislators, business m e n
and prominent citizens attending
the reception. He told the island
ers to line up behind the present
administration in Washington.
Mitchell told his listeners the
Democratic party had a lot to Of
fer the islands and asked the ISL
anders not to fail to make an eff
fort to help themselves as then
the nation would come forward al
SO helping.
The Illinois Democrat is devot-
ing much time to fishing and so
far has been quite successful in
his catches. The prize is a mon
ster barricuda which he is having
prepared to take back with him
for exhibition in the United
States.
Away from tn various enter.
tainments in his honor, the con.
gresham is going around seeing
the citizens on their daily rou-
tines and speaking with them to
get a true picture of their condi.
ton. Above all he is encouraging
islanders to take an interest In
what they want and reveal then
desires to him, so he may take
back a list of their needs to the
other members of congress.

Eighteen Indictments
Returned: l Negro
Served On Jury
NEW TRIAL SOON

Scottsboro, Ala, Nov. 16.
IP)-Two indictments against
each of the nine Scottsboro
Boys were returned Wednes-
day by a grand jury called
after the original indictments
were ordered quashed by t h e
United States Suprmee Court
last April.
The boys charged with
criminal assault on two white
girls on a Southern freight
train near Paint Rock, Ala
.bama ON March 25, 1881. Since
that time the boys have been
under three death sentences
growing out of the charges.
One of the women claiming the
attack has repudiated the
story and served as a defense
witness in the last trial. The
other woman, Victoria Price,
a Huntsville, Alabama mill
worker is the lone state wit
ness.
Lieutenant Governor Knight
will personally direct the pros
ecution as he has done in the
past two trials. Along with
Wade Wright, solicitor of Nor
gan County where the fourth
trial will probably be held The
cases which have attarcted ma
tion-wide attention, viii find
several outstanding lawyers
presenting arguments for the
defense of the nine youths.
Twice the United States SUI
preme Court has reversed the
decision of the Alabama courts
and ordered new trials.
Alabama today made history
when a Negro was on the jury
which returned the indictment.
There will possibly be one or
more Negroes on the jury for
the trial. This was the grounds
for the T.. S. Court S decision
handed down last April and
the state is attempting to
make it air tight for the next
attempt at the Supreme Court.
The state has already spent
over 100000 IN prosecuting
the victims
Although Ruby Bates one of
The victims of the alleged as
sault has repudiated her pre-
vious testimony and now
claims that the whole affair
was a frameup, the state de-
manded indictments charging
the youths with assault on her.
There were a total of 18 indict-
ments returned against the
nine victims.
The trials will be ordered
sometime this fall. There is
little doubt that a change of
venue will be granted and the
trials will be held at Morgan
County. A close guard was
maintained at the court house
during the last trials but no
state troops were ordered out.
Samuel Leibowitz noted Grim
inal lawyer of New York, will
represent Haywood Patterns
and attorneys for the Interna-
tional Labor Defense will rep

shifts. One shift is from p. m. to
10 pm. and there is a Hoot Owl
shift from 10 p. m. to 4 a. m.
The men on the Hoot Owl shift
have to get up with the regular
men at $50 a. M, make their beds
and sweep for inspection. However,
the four to ten shift is really the
worst. These men have to eat cold
lunch instead of the regular supper.
AS supper is the only decent meal
we have here, these men protested.
The Forest Service man, Mr.. Erb,
who is in charge of the work, told
these men that if they didn't like
it they could go down and get their
DID. (dishonorable discharge.)
I think that some resolutions from
the outside would do a lot of good
here. If the workers organizations
from all over the country would
send protest resolutions it will show
the young workers here that they
have some backing and will encour-
age them to take militant action
themselves.

Robs CCC Bows
of Hot Meal
BY a Worker Correspondent

PORT ANGELES, Wash.-The
worst grievance We have in Camp
Twin of the C.CC. right now is the
fact that we are allowed only one
recreation truck to 60 to town for
the week end. This truck will only
haul twenty-four men. If we rustic
our own ride in, we have to rustic
our own ride out also.
Somebody posted copy of the
Call to Action Qocal bulletin of the
Communist Party with the article
about ancient eggs and other bum
grub on the bulletin board. This
made the mess sergeant, Vern Foot,
plenty mad.
The men on rail work are still
without proper water repellent work
clothes. They issued a few oil
skin Sl1cker suits, but these are too
stiff to work in and soon develop
leaks at the knees and elbows.
The men on regular day work
have to ride four or five miles to
work in an open truck over rough
roads, and then walk one to two
miles to the job. They leave camp
at a. M, and don't get back till
4 or at night.

| sinful and ugly. This is no accis
dental occurrence. 1t is due to tbs
influence of the Church which
dominates our morality. 1t does this
so that we will be filled with feel~
ings of guilt and shame, and there's
fore be timid slaves, not daring to
rise up against their system OF
slavery. They want sexual experi-
ence to give us a sense of sin SO that
we will feel the need to come to
them for forgiveness. Thus they
strengthen their hold on us, and
the hold of their owners, the bosses,
AS Lenin said at the third Conn
somol Congress in 1920: I'VE deny
the morals preached by the bour~
geoisie, they who deduce their
morality from God. We affirm they
are put forward to corrupt the
minds of the workers and peasants
in the interests of the landlords
and capitalists"
We do not claim that this ap.
proach to the problem of capitalism
is the most important one. The
greatest problem of today is the
fight against hunger, war and fas-
cism, and for the overthrow Of
the capitalist system which creates
them. The rest of the Daily Worker
treats of this more fully than we
can.

Weekly Pay
By a Worker CorrespOndent

CHICAGO, IU.-The Excellent
Nut Factory, 1851 West Grand
Avenue, is employing about 300 Ne
I gro and white girls, working six
days a week, picking nuts at seven
cents pound.
The average girl makes only four
or five dollars a week. Seven cents,
the price they are paid per pound,
is just fare one way to work. Com
pare this with the price you have
to pay for pound of shelled nuts
at your confectionery store.
The boss got away with paying
the girls last week and this week.
Some of the girls had so much con-
fidence in him that they did not
bring but one way carfare. He
proved true to form and had a no
tice stuck up in the shop, reading
Come back Wednesday, Dec. &c, at
2 pm. and get your money You
will be off until after New Year"
My girl friend and some of the
other girls cusSed themselves blue
in the face when thew saw that. I
told her she was wasting her breath.
The only way to safeguard your in
terests on the job is by setting up
a good shop committee under the
guidance of the Food Workers In
dustrial Union. If you would have
done it when the nut season began
then you would have been able at
least to have something to eat to-
morrow, Christmas, instead of biting
your finger nails.
She tells me that the girls
Clipped in $14 couple of weeks ago
and bought radio for the factory.
Some of the girls that have Clipped
in for it have since been fired. The
shop can close next week or go out
of business and the boss whom you
"cussed out" will own the radio, and
he did not put in a nickel for it.
The boss has his Christmas every
day, that is why he is not con-
cerned about the workers.

New Union Organized
Nine workers of this organization,
dissatisfied with the bureaucracy of
Rodriguez, who comprised the only
officer, withdrew and formed a nu-
cleus of their own. Out of this
nucleus grew Ell Nogal," the present
rank and file organization of nearly
1000 members, which is fighting for
the enforcement of the code by
building up local and national
united front.
"El Nogal," from the first, concen-
trated on the basic struggle of the
nut pickers for better wages and
hours. In May, shortly after its
organization, its elected representa-
tives went to the plant owners and
demanded better conditions. The
companies refused to meet these de-
mands. The organization then took
up the issue with the N. R. A., with
the result that on May II there was
a hearing to investigate the COM
plants. No agreement was reached.
B. Oberman, president of the
American Smelling Cmpany, asserted
that five cents a day is plenty for
a Mexican to live on" The N. R. A.
merely promised that Washington
would do its best in the matter of
| bettering the wretched conditions
Of the nut pickers.
n. r. A. Fears PTilitancy
N. r. A. officials here and at
Washington, realizing that the nut
pickers were getting too militant to
stand low wage scale much longer,
determined to hold them down by
the formulation of code, which is
the one being fought so bitterly by
Rodriguez and the company officials.
The N. r. A. is merely making a
pretense of attempting to alleviate
conditions; this is proven by the
continuous postponement of the
hearings. In addition, there is fear,
on the part of the officials, of a

Civil Liberties Union
In Anti-Sedition Fight

CHICAGO, Jan. Support of
the movement, initiated by the In
ternational Labor Defense, for the
repeal of the Illinois Sedition Act
and of the defense of the Is Hills
boro defendants was announced by
the American Civil Liberties Union
in a pamphlet sent out to today to
one thousand of its members in
Illinois and neighboring states.
The pamphlet "'Sedition' in Hi
nois," points out that the Hillsboro
indictments grew out of protests
late in May Of this year against
scandalous conditions of relief for
the unemployed. The defendants
will be tried at Hillsboro in the cir
cult court on Jan. 7.
$50 corrupt was the local relief
administration" the pamphlet said,
that names were copied from
tomb-stones and put on the relief
lists so that officials could pocket
the money the Unemployed
Councils exposed this corruption;
they demanded adequate relief;
they agitated for federal unemploy-
ment insurance. Picketing of relief
stations was started and public
demonstrations were organized"
Ordinances were then passed I'M
der pressure of business interests
in Hillsboro and Nakonis against
public meetings and parades, the
Union said.
