Discrimination in Schools

inheritance of slavery, in which the
Negro was forbidden to have any
education at all. It is continuation
of the tradition of deliberate degra-
dation of the Negro.
This conference declares that the
American Negro cannot continue to
leave the shaping of the minds of
his children in the hands of locali-
ties where all institutions are dedi-
Gated to the principle Of "white SUI
premacy," that is, Negro inferiority.
We protest against unequal appro-
priations as between the schools of
the two races; but in doing SO we
do not consent to school segregation.
We declare that white and black
children who are expected to share
citizenship in the future must begin
that common citizenship in common
schools together. Segregation in
schools is as injurious to whites as
to Negroes, teaching snobbishness to
the whites and race hatred to both
races alike; it prevents for all after
life any understanding between the
races; it is the seed of future FACE
riots, bloodshed and tyranny.
We therefore demand:
1. A national constitutional amend
ment placing the entire public edu-
cational system in the hands of the
federal government, and taking it
out of the hands of local, municipal
and state authorities.
2. That such constitutional amend
ment shall forbid any segregation or
separation of races or creeds in any
public school, and forbidding any
recognition by law of any distinction
of race or creed in public schools.

II HE SANHEDRIN Conference de-
4 clares itself unalterably opposed
to the segregation of Negroes into
''black belt" residence districts. We
declare the discrimination against
Negroes in regard to which part OF
city they may live in and which
part they may not live in, is politi-
cal question, and must be dealt with
Just as we deal with discrimination
in voting. The time has come when
the living accommodations of the
public cannot be left to the private
control of a few wealthy parasites
who decide where the colored man
may live and where he may not live.
We demand legislation by which
all tenements, apartment houses and
homes to let shall be subject to the
claim of the first conner, regardless
Of race or color or the will of the
landlord.
Whereas, it is common knowledge
that Negroes are customarily charged
rent at a rate of 20 per cent to 100
per cent higher than is charged for
the same apartments rented to white
people, we demand legislation for
fixed rental for all places to be let,
with heavy penalties and damages
whenever a landlord charges higher
rents for one race than would be
charged another race for similar ac-
commodations.
We declare that any Negro real
estate agent who connives in charg
ing more rent to his own color than

The Segregation EUiL

would be paid by whites, is a rene
gade and a traitor to his own people.
In advocating the foregoing meas
ures of relief, we do not regard them
as being permanently effective. This
conference advocates taking the
whole housing question out Of the
hands Of private individuals, and adj
vocates the taking over of all rented
residences by the public, to be rented
without discrimination of color to the
people at a fixed low rental.
Whereas, it is custom of large
employers Of colored and white labor,
such as mine operators and mill
owners, to house their employees in
company houses" and thereby to
control the lives of the workers, be-
ing able to throw them out of house
and home whenever the bosses please
and wherever there is a disagree
ment about wages or working condi-
tions, we demand any legal measure
that may be necessary to prevent
any employer of industrial labor
owning or controlling the homes
rented TO his employees.
Pending legislative relief, and dur
ing the present period when the Ne
gro's rights are ignored by govern
mental agencies, we call upon the
residents Of all Negro communities
to organize colored tenants unions
so as to be able in an organized way
to refuse to pay exorbitant rents,
or to consent to live in inferior
buildings or segregated districts.

Workers Party. Local Chicago has
entered this campaign with the
slogan "One Thousand New Subscri-
bers by March 10th" as a minimum,
figure which with every member
on the job can easily be doubled or
tripled.
The Boosters Contest.
The spirit of the campaign in Chi
cago has been greatly enlivened thru
the friendly competition among
branches and individual members to
be at the head Of the list for secur-
ing the largest number of subscrip-
tons and getting, in appreciation
for their efforts, the prizes offered
by the DAILY WORKER for highest
scoring contestants. A Iife-size,
framed photograph of Nicolai Lenin
is the prize offered to each Of the
leading English and Language
branches; and small framed pic
ture for the second highest Language
branch. The Young Workers League
branches have also entered the con-
test and the highest scoring branch
will receive similar prize as the
leading English branch and Language
branch Of the Party. The prizes to
be given to individuals are: LIST, a
Remington portable typewriter; End,
either a gold-filled watch OF a library;
Bird, a fountain pen. Members Of
the Young Workers League have the
same chance for individual prizes as
the members of the Party.

The Daily Worker and the Party Campaigns

THE SLOGAN of the Workers
Il Party-"A Workers and Farm
ers' rnment"-receives new inn
petus and real significance thru the
exposure of the gigantic thievery,
bribery and graft in connection with
the Teapot Dome Oil Scandal. That
the government is but an instrument
Of the financial interests of the coun-
try, that-in fact-it is but the
Executive Department of this group,
is shown more clearly than ever be-
fore. And at the same time it proves
.conclusively that the governmental
functions are administered in direct
contrast to the welfare of the city
workers and working farmers Of the
United States. It further shows the
most urgent need for a mass Labor
Party, based on class interests, OPP
posed to the financial interests and
their representatives
The broadcasting of the facts of
the Teapot Dome mess, pointing out
the political meaning to the farm
and city workers, becomes the i'm
mediate duty Of the Workers Party.
And how can this be done better than
thru the columns of the DAILY
WORKER, whose interests are none
other than those Of the working
class? Robbed of the really vital
news Of the capitalist press, who are
either on the democratic or republi-
can fence-or astraddle on both-the
workers are ready to listen to what

Edgar Owens, district organizer OF
the Workers Party in Detroit, Will
not be popular with the business office
Of the DAILY WORKER very long
unless he writes in and tells them the
recipe he uses for getting subscrip-
tions totaling $51.60. The business
office is darn glad to get the subs but
wants to know how Owens does it so

boosters in other places.
Tom O'Flaherty, of the editorial
staff, says that it should not be hard
to boost the DAILY WORKER. He
points out that the editorial office is
turning out a fine paper and workers
realize it.
The workers do seem to appreci-
ate that the DAILY is a fine paper.

WYE DECLARE the interests Of
w the white workers and the
Negro workers to be the same, and
cali for unity and harmony between
them. Large industrial employers
often stir up friction between the
workers of the two races for the
sake of dividing the workers along
a convenient line, and thus keeping
the workers Of both races in weak
ness and subsection.
We call upon the labor unions to
let down all remaining bars to mem
bership in their organizations by col
ored people, and all determinations
and distinctions of color within
them. We are not blind to the fact
that the American labor movement
is in a bad condition today, is getting
weaker in some instances, and al
together has organized only a small
fraction Of the working class. The
Negro is a large part Of the working
class of this country, and we declare
that the labor unions owe then
present weakness in a large part to
their neglect of the Negro worker.
Hundreds of thousands of Negroes
are flooding into the field Of indus
trial labor. We demand Of the
American Federation of Labor, Of
the Railroad Brotherhoods and other
independent unions, that these Ne
groes be welcomed into all unions
on a basis Of equality, and point out
that It is for the sake Of the white
worker as well as the black worker

Color Line in Labor Unions

1. That the American Federation
Of Labor land all other bodies Of or
ganized labor) make an intensive
drive in the immediate future to
organize Negro workers wherever
found, on basis of equality in the
same unions with the whites.
2. That all such labor organiza-
tions be fraternally addressed by this

labor bodies shall Immediately con-
duct among their members an Off
cial propaganda against discrimina-
ton of color and against racial snob-
bishness in the labor unions and in
favor of enrolling all Negro workers
into the unions. Further, that such
campaign be carried on in collabora-
ton with representatives of the

8. That all Negro papers be re-
quested to carry on an intensive
propaganda among the race for the
joining Of labor unions on the basis
Of equality.
4. In view Of the fact that the

n UR RACE in its struggle to

HuSk O'H0re'S Wooden
Soldiers E zen Urge.
Wooden Legs to ActiOn

There will be knocking on wood
in the Ashland Auditorium next
Saturday evening, when Messrs.
HuslS O'Hare and Company will pres
ent their ten wooden soldiers of
syncopation for the consideration of
the frolie seekers, revolutionists and
ordinary citizens who will crowd into
the famous home Of conventions and
labor entertainments to reveal in the
Joy Of living and giving for and to
the revolutionary press of the Work
ers Party and the Labor Defense
Council.
It's Hard to Believe.
Press agents are VIGOROUSLY unre-
liable and their promises on ordinary
occasions are only entitled to a little
more credence than the blandish-
ments of an oil stock salesman, but
our social experts who have on other
occasions participated in Chicago
Red Revel are willing to wager that
the Forthcoming affair viii have all
those who went before "backed off
the boards" if Shakespearean quota
tion is permissible in the vicinity of
the SCockyardS.
The Costumes.
Prizes for the most artistic and
bizarre costumes will be distributed
and the parade of entrants before
the judicial eyes of the committee
which is to pass out the cash will, it
is confidently predicted, rival any
thing in that line on this side of
Palm Beach.
A United Front.
The difficulties experienced in
bringing about a united front of la
Dor politically will not hold good next
Saturday night. Under the inspira-
ton of the O'Hare boys tendency
to get together will be evident and
if the jewellers are not willing to get
together shoulder to shoulder on the
political field it is a foregone conclu-
sion that they will see eye to eve at
the Red Revel. Political distinctions.
sects, tendencies and divisions will
have a tendency to vanish into thin
air on Saturday night.
Enough But--Yet.
There is more to come. Those who
care to eat can do so. Viands such
as tables never groaned under since
the feudal days will entice the revel-
lers to spend some of their money at
the banqueting board. Cooks with
unions labels carved on their political
anatomies will send up savory
odor from the kitchen; mattresses of
Ziegheld calibre will exchange dough
for dough.
Last But Not Least.
For those who cannot be moved by
an appeal to their sociability we
will conclude this clever piece of
publicity by stating that the purpose
of the Red Revel is not merely to
give the workers of Chicago the OPP
portunity to laugh gid make merry
but also to help the DAILY WORK
