c. |. O. Move Continues,
With A. F. l Order EffeC-

Still protesting unconcern over the
pending suspension of his followers
from the American Federation of
Labor, John L. Lewis, chairman of the
Committee for Industrial Orgalliza-
tion, returned to his Washington Of
flee today after a months absence on
a trip to Europe.
The suspension order voted by the
Executive Council of the federation
early in August becomes effective to-
morrow. A move for outright expul-
sion of the IL unions affected Is ex-
pected at the Tampa convention Of
the A. F. Of L. in November.
Asked on his arrival in New York
yesterday If he expects to attend the
convention and fight the expulsion
Lewis declared, 1T is questionable
whether the G. I. o. unions will waste
the train fare to go to that conven-
tion.
"One can only hope they (the A.
F. of L. are prepared to accept the
responsibility Of their own action.
The only crime Of which we are &C.
cused is the attempt to organize un-
organized workers and make them
members of the American Federation
of Labor If that be treason, let Mr..
Green (William Green, president Of
the federation) make the most Of it"

Coughlin for a courageous leader"

Russia the responsibility for possible

The note suggested a Soviet belief
that certain Japanese military author
titles in Manchukuo were trying to
cover up-and justify in advance-a
new series of provocative incidents.
I'VE are drawing the serious atten-
ton Of the Japanese government to

Kozloffsky quoted reports from Kha-
barovsk to the effect there had been
five new border incidents along the
Amur and Ussuri rivers recently, two
allegedly involving airplane invasions
of Soviet territory, and three inolving
alleged firing on Russian border pa
trolmen.
The protest was delivered when
Sakoh called Kozloffsky to protest
three frontier incidents which the
japanese said were caused by the
Soviets.
This charge was rejected by the
Russian official, who declared the
Soviet Union had accurate and un-
impeachable data to show the jap

There is q war going on in the
world. One of the nations involved
tried to avoid it and most Of the ma
tons not involved tried to avert it.
The peace of the world has been
broken, and peoples everywhere rea-
Ike that everything they value is in
peril, that all normal processes of
life may be rudely intercepted by IAN
incident and that civilization, con-
valescing slowly from the well-nigh
fatal stroke of the World War, may
suffer violent and final relapse.
1t is fairly sure that if the rest OF
the world can be kept peaceful
America can. Unfortunately. it is
not sure that America can be kept
out if the rest of the world contin-
ues to rely on war to achieve its
ends.
It brings US to the question: Il
America eventually finds herself in
another war, will black people be
pitted against black people?

U.S.. Supreme Court Shocked
BY Mississippi Torture Case
SUPREME COURT Shocked,

Washington-For the first time in
the memory of many persons present
the justices Of the United States
Supreme Court appeared yesterday
to be greatly shocked at the revela-
lions Of the "trial" Of three Negro
.sharecroppers from Kemper County,
Miss.
Earl Brewer, ESQ.,, of jackson,
Miss, who argued the case for Ed
Brown, Yank Ellington and Henry
Shields, the convicted men condemn
ed to death for murder, nSse mas
terly presentation of his case.
When the counsel for the State of
Mississippi began arguing for sus-
tanning the conviction, the justices
were at no pains to conceal their in
.dignation. At one point Chief JUS,
tice Hughes interrupted the argu-
ment to ask:
"Do you mean that these defend
ants must be permitted to go to their
death solely upon the basis of an ex-
torted confession because their coun-
sci failed to make proper objection"
Justices Roberts and Van Devanter
seemed equally unable to contain
their indignation. Justice Roberts
continually interrupted the argument
to inquire whether there was any
substantial evidence of, guilt other
than the confession, or whether there
could be any justification for the
conviction If the court Shouts find
that the confession were not volun-
tary.
Justice Van Devanter became sar-
castle about the testimony of the
sheriff that he knew nothing about
the beating Of the defendants except
for rumors which he had heard.
Justice Stone suggested that I'M
der the circumstances admitted by
the state the defendants we're neces-
sarily under influences which made
it impossible that they, speak volun-
4
tarily.
Brown, Ellington, and Shields
were convicted of the murder Of
Raymond Stewart, white tenant
farmer, solely upon confession"
which was secured by beating and
torturing the three men in a manner
as barbarous as the Middle Ages. All
were beaten with straps studded with
nails, and Ellington was hanged re-
peatedly by the neck and let down
again until he confessed. The Mis-
sissippi supreme court sustained the
conviction, but two justices wrote a
dissenting opinion calling the case
worse than the .Scottsboro cases. The
I,N.AA.C:P. and number of individ-
uals and groups in Mississippi is fin
ancing the appeal through the U. S.
supreme court. The decision on the
argument Of last Friday is expected
to be handed down by the supreme
court, in a few weeks.
