ROOSEVELT APPOINTS STOTTS. BORO LYNTH DEFENDER AS i RAIL MEDIATOR WASHINGTON, D. C—Frank P. Glass. 75 year old newspaper publish, j er, has been appointed a member of the railway mediation board by Presi. ' dent Roosevelt. It was Glass’ paper, the Montgomery. (Ala.) Advertiser which wrote shorffy after the early Scottsts.ro trials! “Now the state is object of calumny because the trials were expeditious, and because great crowd* of curious (!) onlookers at tended them. Such attacks on Ala. barmans will surely make it harder t. guarantee court trials of offenders in the future." Since then the Advertiser has re peatedly called for lynching, legal or j extrajegal, of the ScotWboro boys, and has been equally vicious in its attacks upon the framed Dadeville share-croppi n It is a strong support, er of Ex.Fenator Tom Heflin, the j notorious K_ Klux Klansman who volunteered as special prosecutor I against the Negr.- share croppers at Dadeville, and has now, in volunteer ing to help in the prosecution of the Scoltsbor: boys sent out a direct call for their lynching This Southern Borubon will be ex. pected to be an “impartial” mediator for rail labor. This appointment comes clone upon recent revelations of a terroristic and murder campaign against Negro fireman in Mississippi. HOW LONG BEFORE ELECTION? MINNEAPOLIS, Minn — My t>ur with Mc*hee Patterson and Richard B. Moore from New York has been successful There have been quite a few funny things that happened on the way. In Erie. Penn., the meeting was held in a court room. We exposed capitalist justice in the place where it is handed down We have bad very large crowds, -ven as far south as St. Louis, Mo. There we had an audience cf more than 3.000 people. The people of the small villages come as far as 30 miles to hear the story of Scottsboro and many of them say “Speak ali night.! We will stay and listen.” One fellow •aid he thought the people were foolish until he heard us tell the story Then he said “If that is what you all are fighting, for, then I will fight with you until all the fanners come to town roaring ‘The Scottsboro Boys Shall Not Die.” A farmer said “When a young boy like Lester Carter, born and raised in the Sotfiffi, comes here to tell how they are murdering workers like himself by wholesale, H is time for work, ers w myself to wake up in all parts the world." In Campbell. Ohio, the Mayor sent his car to ride us around but we did not use it. He spoke at the meeting welcoming Mother Patterson to his town Richard Moore asked how long « was to the election. The reply was three days Then he exposed the may.' or. telling how this same mayor had jailed Negro and white workers for speaking on the Scottsboro case. It is interesting to know and see the hundreds of people who are in the struggle Hundreds of youths are in the struggle, too. That makes me fight harder. I hope the tour from "icre to California will b>? as success, ful as this one. Weekly Record Birth. Marct II* and Luher Jloore, 2611 { Burdette, bey.

You are falling from grace When you came to town, you tried to convince the ministers that you did not even play cards. Now you are running in big society and danc_ ing so hard, you must change your attire twice at one dance—Going to one Negro gathering boosting Negro Business and making your committee meeting the next day and knocking them—going swimming with married men when friend wives are not along; all this constitutes a breach of good tast for one of your station. * * * You are a big business man, we know and you have made gangs of dollars burying the dead in this man’s town—and you are now vowing that you will not spend one dime with Ne_ gro merchants. Watch your step. You will find yourself in the same predica. ment as when you came to town. * * * Say, Mr. Government man, don’t park that slick looking Deluxe car in so many different places. We all know you are on Miami Street. It matters not where it's parked. They do say you are really good at poker we think that she is better at poker than you. “Miss Eyes’’ is giving a lot of peo. pie a break by not writing them up because they do show a little discre tion with their “sins." She is giving you a chance to straighten out your affairs and be a little more careful because after this warning if “your sins find you out”, “Miss Eyes” will have to “discuss” them with you. To be more pointed “Miss Eyes” means you young married men with your other sweeties and young married women with yours, and you old men with your young mamas and you old dames wih your shiek3 and gigiloes and also you young things who think it cute to put something smart over. Hark ye; and watch out. * * * “Miss Eyes” takes this time to warn a certain young proprietor of a popular hang out for most of the younger set. You had better be care, ful how you let your patron’s ex change their “small change.” Because “it don’t take no Smardick to see them kids rolling dem bones.” Miss Eyes saw them right thru the window on the South. Don’t forget “Little Shot” that your “big shoting” days are over there is a new gang in the City Hall now and they might pass you “a new deal.” * * * Politics, “sho is a dog.” Miss Eyes has been wondering how a certain professional Politician would land, and Lo! he landed upside down. He has played politics backward and for. ward and in former years hi3 racket went over because of his “Gift of Gabb”. Miss Eyes is wondering if you know what made you lose your strut “Mr. Political Ex-Big shot?” Miss Eyes overheard a bunch say that you got too sure and because you tried to throw sand in the air and buffaloo every one into thinking that you and those you favored were the only people in the world. Well, that broke your political neck. You can see that from the Big job you are holding down now for several weeks. You didn’t get what you wanted and Miss Eyes can tell you why. The next city you go to and get into politics use other tactics. You will certainly have to go to another one because here you are a goner, Here. * * * Miss Eyes gets the word that a certain young lady around here has got a new job from the High power ed politicians downtown. Of all the surprised Miss Eyes is floored. The young lady deserved the place but Miss Eyes learned that all the old cronies who don’t seem to realize that the day for their bossing Omaha is gone, gone. There are other people besides those you choose for all the “white collar” jobs who have worked for them and can hold them. Stop holding your heads and beating them against a brick wall. Remember this saying that, “To the victor belongs the spoils.” Miss Eyes and her boy friend (sure she has one) were out trying to get away from the doins of the “Mogoes” and behold! We saw Oma ha’s latest widower pick up a long time widow at the brick house where there “A’in’t no” trees. They seem ingly were Lincoln bound. Was it a pre-honeymoon trip. To Quote Mr. Cab Shakespeare, “0, death where is thy sting? Maybe a wedding soon. Look for it. » * * And who was that reading the pa per when the big shooting scrape came off? Anyway he must have been reading Miss Eyes. She was so hot she added momentum to the bullet turned it around and started it on its way. Yon had better stick to Miss Eyes, if you want to be safe. As a result of the shooting Miss Eyes I wonders if the little boy who is aL ! ways in trouble will start a ‘Head factory” with his used bullets when they are released? Remember they made more than one pistol when they made yours. I.L.D. MAKES SURVEY OF LYNCH MURDERS JAN. TO JULY 19.33 NEW YORK—At least thirty-four murders of Negroes in the first six months of 1933, aside from these 3e_ fined as formal lynchings, were rec orded in the press of the metropolitan centers of the country, according to a survey by the International Labor Defense made public today. No attempt to punish a single one of the murderers has been made by the authorities. In cases where cir_ cumstancs forced on “inquiry” it ha3 in every instance been turned into a complete whitewash. These have been only attempts to quell the indignation of the Negro and white masses and to prevent the development of mas3 protest. This survey is assumed to cover a fraction of one percent of the total number of such murders by police of ficers or by white agents of the rul. ing class who act with the endorse ment and at the direction of the authorities. This endorsement is prov_ en by the inevitable justification which ends every 3.0-called investi. gation. i Even more than lynchings, news of which is often successfully suppress.1 ed, innumerable murders of Negroes by individuals are never recorded in th |>ress. In most, the murder of a Negro is not considered worth even a line in the white yress. It is not news. Such murders, it was pointed out by the I L D., are constantly be coming more popular as substitutes for formal lynchings, which are more difficult to hide. The growing unity of white and Negro workers has forced police, sheriffs, and other authorities of the white ruling class to seek such methods of terrorization and murder of Negroes as will not attract such wide attention as formal lynchings, which rouse more and more militant protest from the workers of both races. The white landlords and industrialists seek at all costs to avoid more Scottsboro, which means to them the wide exposure of terror and frame.up. Terror thrives best in the dark. It cannot stand mass ex posure. Such murders, however, stand side by side with lynchings in the white ruling class arsenal of weapons with which to enforce upon both white and Negro workers peonage, the chain, gang, wage-slavery, and forced labor camps, and for this purpose “keep Negroes in their place” lest in asking boldly for their wages or for bread they incite white toilers to revolt a. gainst their almost equally unbear able conditions. These acts of terror are not con. fined to the South, a3 the survey shows, but are most common there, where no attention is paid to them by the press. The I L D program of struggle against terror, lynching, frame.ups, Jim.Crown, and all forms of national oppression it was pointed out, offers the oftly way out for white and Negro workers from the situation exposed by this survey. The I L. D demands the death penalty for all such murderers, and raises the slogan of death to lynch ers. This demand is also covered in the section on lynchings in the Bill of Civil Rights for the Negro people, drawn up by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and endorsed and supported by the I. L D. The following murders are covered in the I. L D survey: 1. Charley Johnson, 20, shot and killed last January by T. E. Christy for “disturbing a church service,” at Shreveport, La. 2, 3, 4.

SEEKING STAY FOR THREE FRAMED IN NEW OR LEANS NEW ORLEANS, La. — Stay of execu!fc>n 13 being sought here by the International Labor Defense for Mose Conner, Thomas Franklin, and Eli Terrell, three Negroes framed in the killing of a policeman and sent, enced to die this week. The evidence that the “confessions” forced from them by third degree and terror was so overwhelming, and the mass protest against their conviction so powerful, that the trial judge him. self, on his deathbed, asked that the verdict be reversed. The I L D will demand a rever. sal of the convictions also on the ground that the 14th amendment to the constitution was violated in the systematic exclusion of Negroes from Louisiana juries and from the jury that tried the three men.
