Angelo Herndon To
Speak In Twin Cities

Angelo Herndon, whose appeal
from an Is to 20 year sentence on
the Georgia chain-gang will be heard
by the United States Supreme Court
early in December, will be the main
speaker at rallies arranged for his
defense at Phyllis Wheatley House,
300 Aldrich avenue north, Mime
apolis, Wednesday, November IS, 8
p. m, and at the st. James A. M. E.
Church, Dale and Central, st. Paul,
on Thursday, November 26, p. m.
The case is probably the most i'm
portant from the point of view of
the rights of labor and of the Negro
people on, the. calendar of the
Supreme Court. The sentence was
pronounced under a pre-civil war
slave instruction law, and if up
held in this case is applicable as a
statute outlawing all labor organ
ization in Georgia.
The constitutionality of the Georgia
law will be squarely before the
Supreme Court in the Herndon ap-
peal. Herndon's attorneys, retained
by the International Labor Defense,
will demand clear-cut declaration
of the unconstitutionality of the
statute, and that it be wiped off
the statute books.
Many organizations and outstand-
ing people with differing views on
most economic and political ques-
tons have recognized the threat to
labor and civil liberties if the in
surrection law remains, and have
united in the fight to free Herndon.
The 55th convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor passed
resolution calling on all unions to
back the fight to abolish the
Georgia slave instruction law, and
supporting the Georgia Federation of
Labor to that end.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, Ma
tional Bar Association, Church
League for Industrial Democracy,
Methodist Federation of Social
Service, Justice Commission of the
Central Conference of American
Rabbis, American Civil Liberties
Union. and outstanding churchmen
and attorneys joined together in
drawing up and presenting brief
amicis curiae and writ of Certiorari
to the U. S. Supreme Court.
A drive for a 100000 signature
petition to Governor Talmadge was
sponsored by II national organiza-
tons, including such diverse ele-
ments as the Socialist Party, Com
munist Party, and powerful church
groups. Among the first to sign the
petition was Governor Floyd B. Oh
son of Minnesota, who also refused
to debate with Governor Talmadge
in Georgia, stating that if he did so
he would be sent to the chain-gang
with Angelo Herndon.
Herndon is now on a nationwide
tour. The organizations sponsoring
the Twin Cities meetings include the
international Labor Defense, Fedora
ton of Negro Women,s Clubs, Work
ers Alliance, Miscellaneous Local 665,
Council of Negro Youth, National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People, and the Young Com
munist League.

French Scientist
 Holds HaWaiianS
 Native Americans

HONOLULU, March 18.-Native Hawaiians were once residents of the American continent, believes Capt. Eric de Bisschop, French scientist recently slripwrecked in Hawaii.
 His conclusions are at variance with the recognized scientific be- lief that the Hawaiians and other Polynesian peoples came to the Pa cific from the opposite direction, probably somewhere in southeastern Asia.
 According to observations I have made in two and a. half years voy- aging in the Pacific" says Capt. de Bisschop, member of the French Geographic Society, whose Chinese junk went to pieces on the island of Molokai, T find the idea of the Polynesian race coming from Nal aysia in historic times impossible. "
 He bases his belief on studies of winds and currents in the South Pacific which led to his conclusion that west-to-east migrations could not have been made under then ex- isting conditions.

RELIEF FUNDS
 ARE REQUESTED
 BY PRESIDENT
Roosevelt Asks Congress to Make Appropriation
 for Work
ENTIRE AMOUNT TO
 BE HANDLED BY WPAI
Private Business Asked to Aid in Absorbing
 Unemployed

WASHINGTON, March 18.-Pre- sident Roosevelt today asked Con- gress to appropriate S1,5OO0 0O0 ,000 for work relief during the govern year beginning July l.
 In a special message to Congress, the President reviewed the unem- ployment problem, proposed that the new funds go entirely to WPA, and added that the trend of reemploy- ment was upward but that its pre- sent rate of progress was inadequate.
 T propose, therefore, to ask pri- vate business to extend it's opera tions so as to absorb an increasing number of unemployed If the gains are substantial enough, no addition al appropriation by the next Con- gress for the fiscal year 1897 should be necessary. The ultimate cost of Federal works" the President added, lis thus determined by private en- terprise."

FRANCE THREATENED

LONDON. March 18. French sources declared today that any Paris government agreeing to the British draft of security proposal envisaging a joint Franco-German demilitarized zone policed by the League of Nations would sound its own death knell.
 They insisted that no government, in the face of the present national ism after Germany's Rhineland oc- equation and before the spring cleo tions, dare subscribe to a plan un- der which portion of their territory will be policed by foreign representa- tives. The council of guilt" reject ed the plan flatly.
 At the meeting tomorrow Ger many will probably be branded as a treaty violator by the French.
 The British emphasized that the report of the draft is speculation, and unconfirmed, and recalled the joint administration proposed by Hitler whose plans the British have promised they would consider in due course.
 The aroused French are believed to be ready to demand showdown They assert that the creation of a no-man's land along the placid Rhine, where French and Germans have clashed for centuries, is im- possible.

SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE IN
 LABOR DISPUTE
Defense Brings Out Case Will Co to Highest Tri-
 bunal to Test Validity

The ultimate decision in the la Dor controversy between the Alaska Juneau mine and Local No. 2O3, h. ternational Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers will be reached in the Supreme Court, Carl E. Croson, attorney for the mine, brought out this morning as the labor hearing resumed in Federal District Court room after a recess yesterday.
 The issue came up after the gov ernment had rested it's side of the case and MT. Croson had called on Ole Larson to the witness stand as a defense witness. The attorney ask ed Larson relative to conversation he said he had with Al Nygren, President of the Union, and Neil Heard, then Secretary. E. A. Eagen, government attorney, objected to the line of questioning on grounds it was immaterial to the case and the con- versation was held after the strike was called. Trial Examiner Charles w. Hope said he failed to see the materiality of it and Croson then explained that his main purpose was to get it into the record because it is the record the Supreme Court will have to go by in deciding on the constitutionality of the law"
 Bound By Rules
 When this matter gets into the courts, believe the court will hold that strikes must be held according to certain rules and according to law" MT. Croson said. Tt is my purpose here to show that the heads of this union, MT. Nygren and MT Heard, so conducted the Union that the men were not given a chance to express their opinion. I propose to show that Mir. Nygren said follow ing the strike vote of October, 1884, that You fellows beat me this time but I'll fix it so you can't again. l am prepared to show that is why authority was voted to this commit tee of 19 trustees, and that the strike was called in just a few hours after the demands were turned down
 The attorney declared it was the purpose of Nygren and Heard to es- tablish closed shop at the mine, or strike, and he was prepared to show it.
 The Examiner upheld the govern ment objection that the question was immaterial to the case at hand.
 Strike Called
 Tt seems to me to be a matter here of whether or not the company bargained with the Union after July B. he said in explaining his rul-
