America.
Jarrell's letter says great deal
about existing intolershle abuses"
and about how we are seeking a
real leader who will grasp the de-
mand Of the people a leader
who will give to the masses the OPP
portunity to subscribe to a new dec
laration of independence from or
ganized crime, governmental waste,
graft, raeketS, machine politics and
Congressional chaos. One who is
dynamic, fearless, strong. deter
mined and knows his own line, who
can help the rank and file break
with past aHegiances and form
new center of political action and
national affairs FARRELL added "the
people desire a new leadership be-
cause there is small hope Of better
things from the older generation of
leaders. Politics should be and
can be the most patriotic and hon
orable profession to clean out in
trenchsd criminals, to weed out In
competents, to throw out grafters,
to replace vote buying methods and
special interests with well consid-
cred legislation that looks to the
interests Of the people as a whole
We feel that here is the opportunity
for a red blooded American patriot,
man Of your character"
FARRELL writes that he has devoted
his personal time ITO this work"
for the preceding ten months and
that he found "the people are
ready. anxiously waiting for some
organization to show the way"

General Butler also pointed out
another way in which, it is appar-
ent, the committee failed to follow
through its evidence. 1t is this:
Butler testified that MacGuire had
flashed a large number of $1,000
bills in hotel in Newark, suggest
ing the money would pay Buffers
if he would go to the
Legion convention as
suggested.
"MaeGuire denied that" Butler
He produced a hotel
record in an effort to show that
he wss in Chicago at the time. OF
course he was in Newark. The
Committee didn't clear up that
point. Now, soon after it was pub
liShed in the press that MacGuire
denied this, a friend of mine from
Newark-Howard j. LeppeT, cap

had written to the Congressional
Committee recalling that he knows

For 2 Negroes
In Detroit Case
BY A. B. Mapii

DETROIT, Jan. 25.-Maurice
Sugar. noted labor attorney and
candidate for Judge of Recorders
Court, yesterday won his fight for
4 new trial for two Negro workers
Charles Lee and Monroe Brown
who are now serving ninety days in
Jail. The two workers were SEN
fenced on Jan. 5 by Judge "
: .(Vicious) Brennan after an out
.rsgeous so-called trial, lasting only
few minutes, because they had
mo job. no home and no visible
means of support.
Judge Thomas M. Cotter was
compelled to grant new trial and
set the date for Monday, Jan. a.
at 9 am. Workers, Negro and
white, are urged to pack the court
room.
The International Labor Defense
is backing up Sugars fight to free
the two workers with q mass pro-
test campaign. The labor attorney,
as in hundreds of other cases that
he has defended, is serving withut
fee.
Sugar is running for the very
office which Judge Brennan noW
holds. The primary elsc5,ons take
place Mach and the finals April /.
His candidacy has been endorsed by
practically every section of the De-
tr6it labor movement. including the
Detroit and Wayne County Fedora
tions Of Ls5or, the Mechanics Edu-
cationsi Society Of America, the
for Designing Engineers, the
international Workers Order, the
Party and others.

Anti Filipino
Bill introduced
Into Congress

/ A bill designed TO facilitate the
drive against Fllipinos in the
/ United States has been introduced
into the House of Representatives
by labor hating Representative
Dickstein, it was reported here yes
terdsy by the international Labor
Defense. The bill, which was intro-
duced into the House on Jan. 8,
calls for appropriations to return
unemployed FiliFiaos resident in
the u. s. to the Philippine Islands
on Army transport ships.
The bill hypocritically states that
depoftations will take place only
when Filipin6s voluntarily" apply
for help to return to their native
country. But a forced deportation
drive against these colonial work
ers is already Under way, with one
Filipino already shipped out from
Ellis Island and another, Jose R.
Padilla, held in Phoenix, Arizona,
charged with membership in the
Communist Party.
The new Filipino measure is
part of the wholesale drive against
foreign born workers in the United
States and the growing attack on
the American working class.
The International Labor Defense
is appealing to ali workers organi-
cations TO send protests Immediately
to their congressman against the
new Dickstein bill. Protests against
the deportation of Padilla and
three Mexican workers held with
him in Phoenix should be addressed
to the Labor Department, wash

is an effort by few finsnciers 10

Obviously nothing will be done

The class which Murphy and Mae
