PAGE SIX Northampton Colored <Man May Get Clemency; Re prieve to Another ltnlly nixpatch Itarrm In the S.. Walter Hotel. nv •!. *' n.\sKKßVii.i.. Raleigh, June 27. Hearing is being held this afternoon on the case of Lincoln Boone, middle aged Negro from Northampton county, scheduled to die in the electric chair here Friday morning for rape. He was convicted of criminally attacking' a young Negro girl under 12 years of age. So far as known, this is the first case where a Negro has been sentenced to death for attacking a Negro girl as young as this one was. Commissioner of Paroles Edwin M. Gil] declined to give any in dication as to whether or not he would recommend a reprieve or .commutation for Booneu util after the hearing to day. V. D. Strickland, attorney appoint ed by the court to represent Boone, re quested the hearing. It is not known whether or not he will present any new evidence in the case. Yesterday Commissioner Gill con ferred with the county welfare officer concerning and learned a good deal of his family history, which he said was decidedly bad. While Boone is of low mentality, he is not insane and knows the difference between right and wrbng, in Gill’s opinion. Unless a reprieve is granted Boone, he will be electrocuted in Central Pri son here at 10:30 Friday morning. A reprieve was granted one of the nine men scheduled to be elec trocuted in Central Pr**un here Fri day, July 6, it was announced this morning by Edwin M. 0111, commis sioner of paroles. The prison repriev ed was George Whitfield, Negro, con victed in Guilford county last October • of rape and sentenced to death. The reprieve was granted to permit further investigation of his case. While this leaves eight others sche duled to be electrocuted July 6, Com missioner Gill indicated that reprieves will be granted to probably six of these, sirtce two electrocutions in one day is regarded as enough.

STEWART (C.Mitral Press Staff Writer) Pittsburgh, June 27. i Communism is so loosely-used a term that it is hard to guess how general really commun istic sentiment is among workers throughout the industrial belt, from Pittsburgh and vicinity, out through northern Ohio and Indiana, and up into southeastern Michigan. There is plenty of belligerency, bi:t a great deal of it seems to me to rep resent a demand for regular employ ment and for higher pay under better conditions than heretofore, even in times of comparative prosperity with out necessarily implying the spread of any new politico-socio-economic philo sopy in particular. I have heard spokesmen of the em ploying class, especially here and in Cleveland, and still more especially in Detroit, refer recently to the Ameri can Federation of Labor as commun istic—w'hicli, of course, ?3 perfectly ridiculous, the A, F. of L. being the very antithesis of communism. The designation, in short, has be come a mere epithet, meaning noth ing. * * * As for warlike preparation, there undoubtedly is far more of that (though nothing like so much talk about it) on the part of the employ ers than of the workers. ‘‘lf I told you,” a Youngstown news paper man said to me the other day, “what an arsenal of machine guns and what stores of ammunition the steel plants here have equipped themselves with, you wouldn’t believe it, and I couldn’t prove it, either, hut I know it’s true. “Every plant can be intrenched on short notice behind entanglements of electrically-charged barbed wire. The manufacture of gas bombs has become quite an important industry”. I subsequently queriea a steel offi cial at Weirton on the same subject. “‘Oh, we’re fixed to defend our prop erty,’’ he answered, bus was other wise uncommunicative. In Cleveland I do know one honest to-goodness Communist, who under stands the cult’s doctrines and is able to distinguish between a fellow believe er in them and a proletarian who merely is dissatisfied with his lot but is identified with no specific program to change it. , “There’s been some communistic progress”, he informed me, “and there’!!!: be more if the depression We’ll loseg round again if there’s a pick-up".
