Since the Chicago Whip began the
fight for lower rent, thousands of
people who are victims of this PERM
cious legalized holdup game have sent
in letters expressing an ardent desire
to get relief. The leaders and slate
makers, ignorant of the public's de
termination to drive the Rent Hog

still silent on the question.
The extent Of harm that is being
done to the community is evidenced
by the following letters from hard
working honest citizens who have to
take dodgers in order to pay rent:

AT. or |. DISCRIMINA-
TON MUST Be RE-
MOVED BY IT'S VICTIMS

BY John Riley, A. h: of. l.. Organizer.
The American Federation of Labor is
composed of 10 or more international
Unions, besides local trade Unions, and
Federal Labor Unions.
OF this number, the following Olga
nzations have discriminating causes in
their constitutions; The Brotherhood Of
Railway Carmen Of America, The
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. Inter
national Association of Maehinists,
Brotherhood of Bldckshmths & Helpers.
International Brotherhood of Iron Ship
Builders & Helpers.
These clauses will remain in evidence
in their Constitutions as long as the
Negro shows little enough concern about
this situation to remain unorganized.
There are many methods of reaching a
desired point in the development of OPP
y. portunities for group of workers, but
the most effective method that can be
used is for tn, people who are affected
by these ip'afftieniar clauses 70 make a
serious effort to have them changed.
1t does not necessarily signify that
the great mass of Negro workers desire
TO be used as tools, yet with so much
capitalistic propaganda spread regard
ing the merits and dement's of the La
Dor Movement, and the status OF the
colored worker in the Movement, we
find those who are preiudieed do not
know just what they are preiudieed to-
ward the labor movement for.
Yet, it would take considerable effort
on the part OF anyone who would at
tempt to find single colored worker
in industry or anyhere else, who had not
in some way been benefited by the
avtivities of Organized Labor.
l am quite sure that this particular
condition regarding discriminative
measures of affiliated organizations
will be regulated somewhat on the order
of supply and demand, and if this is
true, the more Negroes that show dis
position to organize and affiliate with
the American Federation Of Labor, the
more opportunities will be given them
to do this.
As they become more and more of n
factor in the industrial world, ! am sure
that the Trade Unionists will appreciate
the necessity o, safeguarding what they
have attempted to establish by way al
wages and working conditions.
We cannot expect that the Negro
Workers joining an organization or be
coming affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor will have a ten.
deney to make the white worker like
them any better but we do know that
there will be a greater opportunity for
better understanding when til 81 under
stood that they are not willing to be
exploited by the bosses, and are prepar-
ed to accept their share of the response
bility in helping TO make conditions
better for the entire working class.

kers are brought into industry in large
