Survey Of Repression
OF Working People
In The Past Yeal

NEW YORK - Increased liberty
for labor, reflecting greater freedom
in the exercise of civil rights in the
United States in the past year, is re-
ported by the American Civil Liber~
ties Union in its annual survey of
the status of civil liberties in the
country, published today. Admins
tration encouragement to labor or
~ganization, backed by the Supreme
Courts approval of the National La
Dor Relations Act and strengthened
by exposure of employers lawless
tactics before the Senate Civil Liber-
ties Committee have combined to
put a new foundation under labor's
rights" the survey reveals.
Freedom to agitate causes OPP
posed by powerful interests is look
ing up" the Union reports, pointing
out that greater liberty has been &C.
corded not only labor but Negroes
and Communists as well. mot all
the states so reported, but the trend
was marked in a substantial num-
Der. ANY such improved tendency
must, of course, be regarded as only
relative, for the forces of repression
remain constant in a society marked
by inherent sharp conflict of poll
tics, industry, race and religion"
The Unions general survey, the
only one of its kind compiled in this
country, is being released as the 18th
annual report of the Civil Liberties
Union to its members in a 96-page
pamphlet entitled Let Freedom
Ring" Based on reports from COM
mittees and correspondents in SO
states, the review covers not only
the work of the Unions national
office and 10 local branches, but also
surveys conditions all over the coun-
try for the year ending June l, 1887.
Labor's Power Inspires Repression
Evidence of the ceaseless conflict
between the defenders of the status
quo and the forces of democratic ad-
vance continues in the attack on
progressive measures as Commu-
MIST" the report states. while a
considerable number of the lesser
professional patriotic agencies havd
folded up since the election, the type
Of propaganda they voice goes on
undated, inspired by the fear of
reform measures based on increased
power of labor"
mo new gag Legislation has been
enacted in the year. Indeed some
has been repealed. But no liberal
izing legislation has been passed de-
spite drives for it in Congress and
many legislatures. Court decisions
have been increasingly favorable to
civil rights, from the U. S. Supreme
Court to lower state courts. Prose
cutions for opinion have been few
and political prisoners remain at a
stationary figure, mostly in cases
brought in preceding years. Censor
ship Of books, plays, radio and movies
has produced only scattering in
stances. Issues of academic freedom,
though conspicuous, were few in
number.
But this better condition in terms
Of overt cases does not reflect the
pressure for conformity to the status
Montana labor news., 1937-09-02

quo imposed on overwhelming Sec
tons of the population, and the high
price still paid for economic or politi-
cal heresy, especially in the profess
sions. Nor does it cover at all the
still bitter warfare between capital
and labor, even more a%ccentuated by
the unprecedented drive for organ
ization in the great unorganized in
dustries."
Centers of Repression
Heading the Unions list of worst
areas" in the United States in which
violations of civil rights prevailed
during the past year, are Tampa,
Fla, and the neighboring citrus fruit
district, Harlan County, KY, and the
Imperial Valley of Southern Cali
fornia. Other leading centers of re-
preston listed in the report are the
cotton and farm area of eastern Ar
kansas, where sharecroppers and
tenants have sought to organize; the
automobile towns of Michigan and
the middle-west; Gallup, N. M, dom
mated by coal companies opposed to
union organization; Jersey City, N.
j., and vicinity dominated by Mayor
Frank Hague and others under open
shop influence; Terre Haute, Ind,
scene of strikes, martial law and de-
NAL of rights for Communist meet
ings; Atlanta, Ga. where prosecu-
lions of radicals and Negroes have
been instituted by a red-baiting
prosecutors office; Birmingham, Ala.
and the surrounding industrial dis
trict; and New Orleans, where a local
red-baiting patriotic campaign has
found numerous victims.
Machinery of Repression
'The role of the federal govern
ment in repression is slight, con-
fined largely to deportation of alien
radicals" the report states in analyz-
ing the machinery by which rights
are denied. state governments are
more responsible for repression
through the use of troops, Jim-Crow
laws, sedition laws, censorship of
motion pictures and injunctions in
state courts. But the local govern
ments of cities, towns, and counties
are far 0 responsible than either
the federal or state governments,
through arbitrary and often lawless
actions by mayors, sheriffs, police
and courts. Yet above all the legal
forms of repression stand the far
greater violations of rights by pri-
vate forces-vigilantes, lynchers,
mobs, spies, strike breakers and gun
men,"
Balance Sheet of Civil Liberties
Outstanding events of the year
commended by the Union in its re-
port is led by the decisions of the
U. S. Supreme Court upholding the
National Labor Relations Act, free
ing Angelo Herndon, unfolding the
Wisconsin labor injunction law and
with it similar laws in Is states, and
reversing the conviction of Dirk De-
Jonge, Oregon Communist convicted
under the state criminal syndicalism
law. Strongly approved also is the
work of the Senate Committee on
Civil Liberties; the repeal of the
"red-rider" in the District of Column
bia; the refusal of Governor Murphy
to permit violations of strikers
rights; the decision of the New York
Court of Appeals permitting medical
agencies to import birth control ma
%terial; the investigation of violations
Of civil rights in Puerto Rico by a
commission headed by Arthur Gar

field Hays; the establishment of an
official state Bureau of Civil Liber-
ties in Pennsylvania and repeal of
criminal syndicalism laws by Wash
ington and Oregon.
Roundly condemned by the Union
is "the widespread and continuing
violations Of labor's rights by en-
ployers and their agents, public and
private; the refusal of Yale to re-
appoint Prof. Jerome Davis; the veto
by Governor Hurley of Massachu-
sets of the bill repeating the teach
ers' loyalty oath law; and interfer-
ence with Communist and other mi
nority party meetings during the
presidential campaign. Also in the
list of twenty major acts of repres-
sion are the ban on the film Spain
in Flames by state and local ten
sors; state %injunctions denying work.
ers' rights to organize, strike, and
picket, notably in Maine, Michigan
and New York; the massacre Of
Puerto Rici 4 Nationalist at Ponce
on March 22nd; the conviction on a
frame-up at Wilkes Barre, Pa, of
Emerson Jennings, printer; the muir
ders by the Black Legion in Michi-
gan; and the attack on Joseph Geld
ers, engaged in defense work at
Birmingham, Ala.
Record for the Year
Among the salient points covered
in the survey is an estimate of the
Supreme Courts decisions upholding
the National Labor Relations Act as
promising far-reaching favorable eff
fects on civil rights" Labor %injunc-
ton bills were introduced in twelve
legislatures in 1887 but Jared worse
than in previous years because of
the strife in the labor movement
and the opposition of employers"
None of the bills have passed, while
other bills aimed at trade unions
Jared better, notably measures out
having sit-down strikes. Few cases
under sedition or criminal syndical-
ism laws were brought during the
year in the "a states with such legis-
lation.
During the 1886 presidential cam
paign, the report reveals, minority
party candidates were forcibly pre-
vented from speaking and holding
rallies on % occasions in Is states.
"But these instances were fewer than
might have been expected from the
bitter prejudice aroused against radi-
calls and the vigorous campaigns
waged by the minority parties" In
reference with the Communist
Party's activities decreased during
the past year and the defense of the
party's rights has grown.
Lynchings were cut in half in 1896
as against the previous year, drop
ping from rs to 10. Lynchings in
1887 up to June LIST have totaled four.
Freedom of Assembly
Decreasing interference with pub
lie meetings of groups unpopular
with the authorities marked the year.
The instances are scattered and rep
resent no continuing policy except
in Jersey City where Mayor Frank
Hague determines who shall speak
and where. Of ten instances dealt
with by the Union-by M means all
of the reported cases-five affected
the Communist Party. Most of the
others were regarded as having Com
munist connections. Four Of the In
stances involved the use Of public
schools or buildings. Four affected
