Purge al The California
Meeting Of Federation
By Federated Press

LONG BEACH, Cal.-(FP)-This
is Dave Beck's convention, and Ed
Vandeleur's, this meeting of dele
gates to the California State Fedora
ton of Labor.
That the will of the west coast
teamster chief and of the state fed
Grafton head-now locked in war to
the finish with Harry Bridges and
the c. I. O.-would be done became
apparent in the early hours of the
meeting.
A purge had been announced and
expected. It took place, in a very
thoroughgoing fashion, the very first
day. Delegates of unions and cen
trail bodies suspected of c. l. o.
%sympathies were ousted without
ceremony.
Indicative of the temper of the
gathering was the beating up of
Pres. John Shelly Of the San Fran
cisco Labor Council and a compan-
ion, John Byrnes of the San Fran
cisco can makers. They identified
their assailants as Los Angeles team
sters. Shelly had held A. F. of L.
and C. I. o.. elements together, to
the last possible moment, in the
Frisco labor body.
A proposal that the longshore-
teamster fight over warehousemen
be settled by Pres. Roosevelt was
made by George Kidwell of the San
Francisco bakery drivers. It is
understood that Kidwell had F. D.
RS acceptance of the proposal. His
union was the only teamsters' affili-
ate to march in the San Francisco
Labor Day parade, the others boy
cotting it because of C. I. o. partici-
patton.
Main other business of the conven-
ton is the question of organizing
Los Angeles into as strong a union
town as San Francisco. Plan is to
go into both unorganized and c. I. o.
fields in hopes of making the city
an A, F. of L. bulwark as an offset
to c. I. o. inroads in other parts of
the state.

SCOTTSBORO CASE WINS
RIGHTS FOR NEGROES

CHARLOTTE, N. C.-(FP)-Civil
rights belonging to Negroes under
the U. S. constitution but never be-
fore granted them in the south are
now being yielded in North Caro-
lima. This is a direct result of the
S%cottsboro case. Throughout this
state Negroes are currently being
drawn for jury panels and actual
jury service.
For the first time since Recon
structoin days a Negro is serving on
a Mcdowell County superior court
jury at Marion. A number of Ne
gro names had been placed in the
jury box after Judge J. H. Clement
directed Mcdowell commissioners to
do so. This action, it is admitted,
was taken because of last years rul-
ing in the Scottsboro case by the
U. S. Supreme Court, which requires
names of eligible Negroes to be
placed on the jury rolls.
In May Of this year a Negro served
on a jury in Gastonia, sitting on Is
divorce cases in a 2-week civil court
term. This was the first time a
Negro ever saw jury service in Gas
ton county.
In Charlotte, largest city of the
Carolinas, two Negro jurors have
just been chosen to serve at seven
weeks of Meeklenburg county SUI
perior court. A new county jury list
is at present being compiled in
Charlotte. For the first time in his
tory, all names, whether white or
Negro, will appear without any
designation as to color. Hitherto
names of whites had been written
in black ink and names of Negroes
in red ink.

T0WN5ENDITES Want
FEDERAL AMENDMENT

Today a question is quite frequent
ly heard: "How about the Townsend
movement? Is it gaining or losing
ground, and to what extent do the
recent movements to modify the
main issue, $500 per month, amount
to-"
Let me say right here: There is no
specified amount set as to what the
2 per cent transaction tax win bring,
and whether it will amount to S199
or 5000 is of small Importance in it.
self, but from a tactical point of view
when using it as a basis for starting
a new movement it is of the greatest
strategical Importance.
The history of other movements
have shown that the opponents of
any progressive group have always
initiated rival groups with telling
effect in order to nullify the initial
group by splitting it into different
factions. In the state of Washington
at the last election, the liberals, both
claiming the support of Townsend
ties, suffered a defeat in a three
cornered fight to a conservative Gov
ernor who could only boast a 40 per
cent vote. Had the p%rogressives
kept a united front and left person
alities out, they would have had an
easy victory.
Personally, I have some political
views not strictly c%oinciding with
DR., Townsend's private political
views. While that gives me the
liberty to argue the points on which
I differ, it ill becomes me to try to
split our forces on account Of I'M
important personal opinions and thus
jeopardize the greatest humanitarian
move in America.
I might add in connection that we
have a nationwide petition drive
with the object in view of inducing
the Legislatures of two-thirds of the
different states mandating the Con
gress to propose a constitutional
amendment incorporating the Town
send plan as a part Of the U. S.. Con
stitution. Blanks of a uniform nature
are nov to be had from the Town
send National Weekly, 72O North
Michigan Ave, Room 100, Chicago,
III. While some western states have
already memorialized the Congress
on this subject, it would be desirable
to use uniform blanks as much as
possible. This drive should show
that the Townsend movement is

HEART OF SPAIN is
VIVID PICTURE OF SPAN
ISH MEDICAL RELIEF
Federated Press


NEW YORK.-(FP)-In Heart of
Spain, a 3-reel motion picture re-
leased by the Medical Bureau to Aid
Spanish Democracy, the technical
process that takes place in hospitals
and is known as blood TRANSMISSION
takes on a startlingly significant
place in the movement of social
forces.
Can the mere performance of this
little operation save Spanish de-
mocracy? Not exactly. But one is
amazed at the tremendous part it
can play, as shown in this vivid and
moving picture.
Hitler wants coall" And the
mangled and bleeding bodies of
little children are drawn from the
debris Of a bomb-torn building while
mothers wall. Mussolini wants
ironl" And the entrails are torn
from the body of a courageous Span
ish youth. The wounded are
crammed into the all-too-few hospi-
tals-wounded for whom there is
no hope except through blood trans
fusion. School girls, grandmothers,
boys too young to go to the front
lines, gladly give their blood for
Spanish freedom.
Heart of Spain will be exhibited
in various cities and have a months
run in New York. Information may
be obtained from the Medical
Bureau at 381 Fourth Ave, New
