Resolutions on the
McDuffy Case

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 10
For the third time the Minneapolis
State Pardon Board has denied 2
pardon to Ernest McDufy, young
Negro mechanic, framed at Anoka
and railroaded to prison after less
than 10 minutes deliberations before
Judge Matthias Baldwin in the dis
trict court in Minneapolis. McDuffy
is now in St. Cloud penitentiary.
The International Labor Defense,
which has been fighting for Nc
Dufy's release, forced the officials
involved in the case to appear be-
fore the last session Of the pardon
board.
Two Of the three members Of the
pardon board have expressed their
belief that McDufTy should be re-
leased. One Of these, States Attor-
ney Peterson, said that even if the
confession" wrung from McDuffy
by torture, were true, he should
have received no more than 80 days
on the work farm. Yet the pardon
board has refused to act to free
McDuffy.

Sears-Roebuck
Edict Is Aimed
AtNegro Trade

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-An order not
to cater to Negro trade has been
issued by the General Manager of
the Sears Roebuck Engle wood
stores, to the clerks in those stores.
The order, supplementing the ira
ditional policy Of the powerful con-
ern of refusing employment to Ne
groes as clerks, is tantamount to
instructing the saleSpeople to refuse
to serve Negroes.
This discrimination is vigorously
denounced in a protest letter by the
West Side Unit of the Young Com
munist League to Colonel Wood,
general manager Of the Sears Roe
buck stores, and to General Man
ager K 0 h n of the Englewood
branches. The letter points out
that the order is deliberately de-
signed to provoke dissension among
Negro and white workers, incite race
hatred and race riots. The letter
statea, in part:
we young workers and students,
who have been customers at your
West Side Sears stores for many
years, vehemently protest against
such action of discrimination, and
will do all in our power to arouse
public opinion against this, until
such time as your stories will re-
scind this act Of discrimination
against the Negro people"

Is Demanded by LID.
In Wire to U. S. Court

An immediate decision setting
Tom Mooney free was demanded Of
the United States Supreme Court in
q telegram sent to that body last
week by the International Labor
Defense.
The Supreme Court is to decide
whether it will grant hearing on
the writ of habeas corpus brought
by Mooney. Mass pressure on the
court, organized by the LID,
forced it short time ago to agree
to review the tn sentences
against Clarence Norris and Hay
wood Patterson, two of the Scots
boro boys, following the filing of
writ of certiorari by Walter Pollak
and Oswald Fraenkel, attorneys for
the LID.
The LID. is urging all working
class and sympathetic organizations
to shower similar demands on the
court.

Job Promised:
.CaseDisnissed

YONKERS, Jan. BE loved his
six-year-old son, and he believed
in the spirit of Christmas. And it
is this that brought a jobless. penni-
less worker, Joseph Servocky. SO
years old, before the police court
here yesterday.
He had been caught stealing an
expensive tree from the Oakland
Cemetery. His son had had little
to eat, and he felt that OF least
he would try to give him the tree
he had been crying for like his
friends had The jobless worker
also figured that a tree would be
more useful in the home than over
the grave Of one who no longer ap-
preciated it.
But somebody squealed and De-
tective Patrick j. Sullivan nabbed
him.
Judge Boote paroled the worker
after he had pleaded for a job to
make good the loss.
The judge also instructed the
court aids to help find Servocky a
job. The court aids listened po-
lltely, of course, but they hadn't
the faintest idea where to get
Job for Servocky. And Servocky, no
doubt, will sink back into the hun
ger and misery from which the
hand of the police momentarily
lifted him.

Farmers Push
to Build
Their Paper
Lay Base for Farley
on Drouth Relief
to Be Held Soon

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 13.-The en-
dorsement of the proposed farmers
relief conference to take place in
the drought region, by the National
Congress for Unemployment and
Social Insurance is being heartily
welcomed by the small and middle
farmers as sign of the support
Of the industrial workers of the
struggle for drought relief.
The farmer delegates to the recent
Workers Congress realized better
than ever before that their enemies
are the same as those who are
suppressing the rest Of the telling
population.
The endorsement of the farmers
conference by the Workers Con-
gress has stimulated the militant
farmers organizations to create the
widest possible support for the COM
ing drought conference among the
farmers in organizations like the
Farmers Union, the Holiday the
co-operatiyes and others. One of the
main organs to accomplish the
widest support for the conference
will be the widespread use of the
Farmers Weekly.
This is the only farm paper which
ha5 participated in the struggles
of the farmers for drought relief
and the only one which has pledged
its utmos5 support to the coming
conference and to the fighting pro-
gram which this conference dis
cusses. In order to make it possible
for the weekly to be used most eff
fectively in the drought relief strug-
giles the management committee of
the Farmers Weekly is pushing an
anniversary drive. In the course
CT this drive the management COM
nittee is striving to build a solid
foundation for the paper through
tine enrolment of farmers and
workers clubs, groups, and organi-
cations as members of the Farmers
National Educational Association
which publishes the Weekly.
The management committee of
the Weekly is also urging all work
ers' and farmers groups and indi-
viduals to secure greetings for the
first anniversary Issue, which will
be published on March /.
Any worker or farmer who will
take part in the anniversary cam
paign by securing either member
ships for the Farmers National
Educational Association, greetings
for the anniversary issue, or sub
scriptions from friends or relatives
on the farm is urged to write today
to the Farmers Weekly at 1877
South LOOMS Street, Chicago, ILL.,,
for all necessary material and sug-
gestions for carrying on this work.

was actually working in industry.
The earnings of these workers,
however, the survey stated. were
so low that they did not provide
the necessities of life for the family,
and supplementary relief was re-
quired. Such earnings came, as a
rule, from part time jobs or full
time jobs in additionally low-paid
occupations. The average weekly
earnings we're less than IS in nearly

The six cities under consideration

piled from data of the F. E. R. A.

inventory of the employment and
employability of the urban popu-
lation receiving relief from local,
State and Federal emergency relief
funds.
''Tha data used in making the
calculations were as OF May, 1884.

all practical purposes, they hold
good for the current relief rolls
While So per cent of the heads

says, "a considerable percentage
of the persons looking for work are
very likely barred because of their
age, although they arc within the
theoretical limit. Thirty-nine per

households in the Southern cities
are As o. more years old. Eighteen
