ECONOMIC SUICIDE FOR
NEGROES TO 0 PROSE
UNlONISM, SAYS NATION

Opposing labor unionism is eco
nomic suicide for Negroes, saws
the New York Nation, is an edi-
tOrial commenting on the follow
ing declaration against unionism
and economic radicalism' which
passed the reactionary Negro
Press Associations convention at
Nashville, Tenn:
Be it resolved, That il be the
policy of the National NEGRO Press
Association, in its enorLs TO hus-
band strength in and further the
industrial destinies of our people,
that we as vendors of news will
discourage and discredit all forms
of unionism and economic radi-
calism.
The Nations comment follows:
Fortunately for the Negro the
National Negro Press Association
is not representative Of the entire
press of the Race. For to oppose
unionism among Negroes is to adj
vocate form of economic race
suicide. The African Negro be-
longs by cOmpulsion to the work
ing class, and the color Of his skin
wins him preference from his en-
ployer only if it means that he will
work for a lower wage. The open
shop employers in the North who
encourage Negro labor do SO be-
cause for the present it is unor-
ganized and therefore cheap. The
Negro eau fortify his industrial
position only by alliance with his
white fellOw-workers. That has
not always been easy; but tile bars
are falling. The American Feder-
alton Of Labor has officially In
dorsed the policy Of organizing col
ored workers on an equal basis
with white, and some unions. like
the MOlders, are justly proud of
their record of no race discrimi-
nation. The Negroes, too. are
learning the old American lesson
that in union is strength. The ex-
traordinary "Negr0 Sanhedrin"
recently held at Chicago was one
symptom Of the growing race con-
seriousness; the resolution adyocat-
ing unionIzatiOn which almost
passed that conference, made up
largely of conservative Negro or
CARNATIONS, was another sign of
progress.

CITIZENS CAN Be
DEPORTED UNDER
IMMIGRATION BILL
Joker" Paves Way for
GrOssest Tyranny

A joker in the Administrator
immigration Bill which by two words
would permit the wholesale deporta-
tion OF aliens and indeed of American
cltizens and would subvert all settled
principles of procedure" was re-
vealed at hearing before the Sem
ate Committee on immigration by
Walter Pollak, New York attorney,
representing the American Civil Lib
critics Union.
The joker, according to the union.
is contained in section % of the bill.
which puts the burden of proof on
any individual whose right ITO re-
main in the United States' is chal-
lenged. According to the argument
presented to the committee, it APP
plies equally to citizens and aliens.
and would require anyone challenged
to prepare an elaborate defense of
his right to remain in this country.
Liberties Union Fight.
A brief on the law and the practi-
cal dangers of the section by Walter
Pollak and Albert DeSilver was SUBJ
mitted to the Senate Committee on
behalf of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union, with the request that the
words cor remain" be stricken from
the bill.
Under this section, the attorneys
declare, the mere change of a de-
portable offense against an American
citizen or an alien would force upon
him the burden of proving his in
nocence, contrary to the presump-
ton of innocence, one of the strong
est known to law"
"A woman could be deported unless
she could prove that four or five
years before, and at place perhaps
5000 miles away, she had not been
guilty of prostitution or some con-
nection with prostitution" the brief
states. ga man who lives in Port
land, Maine, might be suddenly
threatened with deportation in Gal
weston, Texas, by reason of some oc-
currence, real or fancied, in Seattle,
Washington"
The brief makes five points against
the section. They are:
Unconstitutional.
LIST. It would make possible de-
portations in the entire absence of
evidence and would therefore be
unconstitutional;
End. 1t would violate all settled
practices and presumption of or
derby procedure;
3rd. 1t is inconsistent with basic
principles of both constitutional
and common law, and would create
Unreasonable confusion in prac-
tice;
4th. It would involve intolerable
hardship to poor and obscure per-
sons and pave the way for private
and official corruption and tyranny:
9Th. 1t is without example in our
jurisprudence; the Chinese Exclu-
sion Act-which provides for judi
cial and not summary administra-
tive action and affords the alien
definite mechanism for establishing
his right-constitute no precedent.
Citizens or aliens challenged to
prove their right to remain in the
United States would have to prove
their sanity, freedom from disease,
and innocence of crime, according to
the attorneys. "The citizen or alien
can be deported even if there are no
witnesses against him. There may
even be no hearing in the case. He
will lose his right to remain in the
United States altho there is not one
scrap of evidence against him. The
mere fact that there is no evidence in
his favor will be fatal"

the city, is at the bottom of the
ladder as a wage Garner in
American industry.
A family of three cannot
live decently with sufficient
nourishment for a fair amount
of health and efficiency, on less
than $1,000 a year, according
to the United States Depart
ment of Labor.
And yet the latest income tax
figures show that less than six per
cent Of all the country's wage earn
ers are receiving a salary of $1,000
or more.
Under $1,000 Year.
Under five per cent of Americas
Negro wage-earners receive a sal
airy of $1,000 or more, which is 800
dollars less than the minimum
amount required to live decently.
Over half the colored women who
are wage earners are mothers also.
They have the burden of industry,
the burden of motherhood and the
burden Of race prejudice as well as
the burden of the wage earner's
world. Is it any wonder that the
Negro homes are in such a terrible
state and that the Negro family life
is being destroved1
The Negroes only protection is
by legislation and organization, we
learn from Mrs. Humphrey Ward,
who made a study of this subject.
"The standard of living is being
raised, if at ALL" Mrs. Ward tells us,
"by the organized effort of the Ne
gro workers themselves"
Must Organize.
"In the wage earning world the
Negro worker must forget his past
and press on toward better and bet
ter conditions with the white work
ers," recent investigator of Ne
gro wage earning conditions de-
clares. "If the white workers do not
receive him, he must organize on his
own account and cease being the
cheap and exploited worker. He
must make the white workers rec
ognize him as fellow in the strug-
gle toward higher social and in
dustrial life. Workers dare not |
longer fight each other in this in
dustrial world of competition and |
monopoly.
'They must organize and demand |
for each class and group Of workers
the same standards. Humanity is of |
greater worth than property. Not
stocks and bonds but human beings
of high standard should be the ma |
tional asset"
The Negro workers arc paid such |
low wages that they cannot afford |
to rent adequate and sanitary DWELL |
ings, even when such are available. |
That is why the Workers Party and |
the African Blood Brotherhood at |
the recent All-Race Sanhedrin,
showed the necessity for an alliance
between the black and white workers,
at the same time that it scored the |
reactionary real estate sharks who |
sabotaged the fight against segrega-
ton at the Congress, and condemned |
the chamber of commerce interests
that sabotaged efforts to place the |

MCCARTNEY FAMILY
PINNED BENEATH
AUTO SUNDAY

Mr.. and Mrs. S. A Mccartney, his
daughter, Mrs. R. D. Alexander, and
three children, who were returning
to Delta from Montrose Sunday after
noon, met with an accident which
fortunately did not prove serious, but
easily might have resulted in one or
more deaths.
At a point about two miles out of
Montrose the machine became un-
manageable and careened into the
ditch, the seven occupants being held
beneath.
Being on the main road, it was not
long before a car arrived, which hap
pened to have John and VIII Crawley
and James Zaninetti. These men set
to work and soon had everyone free.
All the members of the party except
a small babe a few months old, were
nsiderably bruised and shaken up.
but no serious results are expected
to follow.
