LIBERTIES UNION
SUPPORTS APPEAL
TO SUPREME COURT

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-T
appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court of
w. D. Lyons, Negro convicted in
Oklahoma of triple murder in Jan
uary, 1910, was backed by an Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union brief asking
a reversal of the conviction on the
grounds that it was obtained by a
forced confession. The appeal was
taken after the Oklahoma Criminal
Court of Appeals sustained the Negro
farmhand's conviction in lower
court. The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
conducted the defense with ass sistance
by the ACLU.
Signed by Conner Smith, of Okla
homa City; A. S. Cutler and Morris
l.. Ernst, of New York City, the
unions brief charges that the %
year-old Negro was convicted on
second confession which should have
been ruled out "for the same persons
vitiated the first" obtained under
similar circumstances. The trial Judge
had refused to admit the first confess
sion, finding "that the defendant NAV
have been frightened into making the
confession. by long hours of ques-
tioning and placing of bones of the
purported bodies of the deceased per-
sons on his lap during the question
ing"
The brief declared the defendant
testified that after his arrest he was
beaten, "his hands tied behind him
with his own belt; he was knocked
down and kicked by the officer; he was
struck across the head with piece
OF one inch board; he was told that
he was going" to be burned, killed by
degrees if he failed to confess. ellis
head was bumped against a tree: he
was hit in the mouth with the iail-
house keys; he was beaten with fists;
kicked in the stomach and ribs; his
eye was blackened and closed: scalp
busted; face swollen"
Twelve days later, after a night
long beating, the original confession
was obtained after a pan of bones
had been placed in the defendants lap
as he sat hand-cuffed to a chair. The
second confession, the brief asserted.
was obtained several hours later and
admitted "in the mistaken notion that
it was given several days" later.
The union, charging that the Negro
was convicted of murder on record
bare OF any evidence against him ex-
cept an alleged confession" asked the
Supreme Court to "place it's stamp of
stern disapproval upon any such stra-
tagem used by public officials to en-
snare the ignorant and the helpless"

can readily understand W ~ the ri,
rector of Economic Sterilization and
other officials directing top policy
have decided as standard procedure
that all corporate profit information
in the hands of the government should
be kept from the public through rigid
censorship.
at is fact that reports on corpo-
rate profits compiled by the govern
ment for specific industries have been
withheld from publication. This in
formation had been gathered through
public channels. The public is GER
tainly entitled to have access to it.
Could it be that those responsible for
the top economic stabilization policies
felt that mere publication of these
facts would challenge the fairness of
the overall economic stabilization pol
icy, which leans SO heavily on rigid
wage control while evading many
basic price and profit issues?
| The spokesman demanded full re-
tention of the rent control program
as part of the OPA. He denounced
real estate interests seeking to wreck
this program.
He informed the Senatorial Com
mittee that the AFL, the CIO and the
Railway Brotherhoods had joined in
urging Congress to renew the Price
Control Act without weak ing
amendments.
Other witnesses appearing at the
public hearings for the AFL included
Boris Shishkin, staff economist; Mrs.
Mae Lowe, President of the American
| Federation of Women's Auxiliaries of
Labor; Edward H. Weyler, Secretary
of the Kentucky State Federation of
Labor, and Joseph j. McComb, of

What Is Labor News?

These words were highly encourag-
ing to us, But then the General added
footnote. He said:
Besides, there has been so little la
Dor news in the last few months that
the soldiers are forgetting about labor
and beefng about something else by
now"
That remark made us sit up and
take notice. We asked:
What do you mean there has been
no labor news?"
"Well," he replied, 'there's been
very little in the papers about strikes
recently"
That's where we sounded off The
idea that labor news consists only of
strikes is one of our pet hates. 1t is
an idea fostered by the newspapers
which seldom give labor news any
prominence unless it is destructive in
nature. News and trouble seems to be
synonymous with most editors. Accord
ing to this type of reasoning, happy
marriages do not constitute news; di-
vorce does. Compliance with the law
is not news; crime is.
As earnestly as we could, we tried
to convince the General that the pau
city of strikes in the past few months
constitutes a most constructive and
important labor news story for the
Army and the millions Of soldiers who
read it's publications.
Somewhat shamefacedly, the Gen.
eral agreed. And one Of his aides, who
participated IN the conference, hasten
ed to show us the material being pre-
pared for the Forthcoming May / issue

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

The other day we had chat with an
Army General, an old-timer well
versed in matters journalistic as well
as military.
This General sought to assure US
that the Arnny's attitude toward labor
is basicly friendly and sympathetic.
Furthermore, he advised us not to
get too excited about reports that the
soldiers in the ranks are unduly hos
tile to labor He insisted these reports
are not true.
"a soldier isn't happy unless he's
got something to beef about" said the
General. "Of course, during the coal
strikes, the boys got all het up about
John L. Lewis. They still are to some
extent.
"But as far as labor unions gener-
ally and the American workers as a
whole are concerned, they need not
worry about what the average soldier
thinks about them. He thinks they are
doing a good job in supplying him
with the weapons Of war and in help
ing to defeat the enemy. The soldiers
know that American labor and Ameri-
can industry have won the battle of
war production. That knowledge
makes them more confident than ever
that they're going to win the actual
fighting and that they are going to

PFC Coll stated bluntly in his letter
that ''only few stupid fellows" in the
Amy "are misled by the plain bunk
we get about the labor situation in
America" He also inclosed a letter to
the editor of the Pittsburgh Press
from which we quote tie following ex-
cerpts:
"If we believed what we read, we
would think that the American work
ing men and women-our own families
and friends-stay up nights figuring
out ways to lose the war. Personally
| think the news VIC get. and the pic
lures they send us are downright in
suits to our intelligence.
''The overseas soldier will not be
influenced to bitterness by anti-labor
bunk. We need you as much as you
need us. To win the war we must all
work together.

the workmen and women are making
on the home front. We are proud of all
you are doing. The little Army and

the soldier wears above his left pocket.
Remember that!"

AFL SETS RED CROSS
GOAL AT Is MILLION

NEW YORK CITY-The American
Federation of Labor has pledged to raise
$l5,00O000 for the Red Cross campaign.
Federation officials recommended a
minimum of four hours pay as the indi-
vidual AFL Red Cross contribution. At
the same time, it was revealed that AFL
membership had contributed more than
$25, 100000 to the recent National War
Fund drive.
These figures and the Red Cross
pledge we're made public by Matthew
VOL, president of the Labor League for
Human Rights, official relief arm Of the
American Federation of Labor. He de-
clared:
"There may be some among us who
grow weary of appeals and extra serv-
ices to the war effort. But compared
with the sacrifices borne by our sons,
brothers and kinfolk who serve in the
armed forces and those of our Allies,
we have been called upon to do little in
the worldwide struggle against totali
tartan aggression.
our fair share for the Red Cross this
spring should be at least four hours
pay. If we all do our part, the contri-
button of the members of the American
Federation of Labor to the Red Cross
will reach the impressive total of some
fifteen million dollars"
The ecord-breaking total raised by
AFL unions in $50 cities for the Nation
al War Fund, Mr.. Vol revealed, was in
part accounted for by an honor roll Of
25 cities in which union members con-
tributed ten million dollars. Heading
this list Of cities were New York, Chi
cago and Los Angeles, each with more
than one million dollars to their credit
Hovering about the half-million mark
we're Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle, St.
Louis, Milwaukee and Washington, D. c.
Sixteen additional cities, including Provi-
dence, Cleveland, Memphis Houston,
Pittsburgh and others, averaged contri-
buttons of S25O,OO0 each.
The general trend in the National War
Fund campaign, according to Mr.. Woll
has not only been towards rise in
the AFL's standard of giving, but to-
wards a spread in the number of labor
contributors to local community chests.
This is shown by comparisons of total
results and Of average per capita con-
tributions during the 1912 and l94S
campaigns.
A contribution Of one million dollars
from labor in a single city had never
before been recorded in any relief drive,
Mr.. Vol pointed out, and very few
cities, in 1912, had reached the half
million mark In 1943, however, New
York City doubled and Chicago quad
rupled, their 1912 results In the case
of others of the twenty-five cities cited
for outstanding achievement, the in
crease in several instances reached the
spectacular rate of $50 per cent.
The National War Funds drive to
raise funds from AFL members was
supervised by the Labor League for
Human Rights, which will perform the
same function for the Red Cross during
the present campaign.
