Randolph Among
"a Who Hit
WPA Trials

Washington, D. c., Jan. g.
Among the "a outstanding liberal
leaders of the country who signed
letter to President Roosevelt pro-
testing the Minneapolis WPA
strike trials were the names of two
Negroes, A. Phillip Randolph, pres
ident of the International Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters, and
Ashley Totten, treasurer of the
same organization.
The letter said in part:
Dear Mr.. President:
The undersigned view with grave
concern the nature of the Federal
indictment and prosecution of 1852
residents of Minneapolis and St.
Paul, charged with conspiracy to
violate the relief act. The entire
proceedings seems to be subversive
of the true interests of justice and
opposed to the letter and spirit of
Constitutional guarantees for a
fair trial.
If any of the defendants have
been guilty of any overt acts of
violence, they are liable for those
acts in the proper courts. 1t is
inimical to our democracy that
striking workers, engaged in peace
full picketing, are prosecuted I'M
der a Federal statute which was
never intended to apply to such
conduct and tried en- masse, thus
being refused a fair trial.
1t is our sincere hope, Mr.. Pres
ident, that you in the course, of
your official duties will direct the
Department of Justice to cease
such un-American practices and
recognize as. its responsibility not
only the conviction of violators of
our laws but the safeguarding of
Constitutional guarantees which
today stand as proof of the demo-
cratic way of life.
