Colonel Simmons states in the
Defender Of June z, that foolish
Negroes are aping silly white
people who believe that they can plant
a Russia on this continent.
Join With Glass Conscious.
Not quite so, colonel, but intelligent,
awakened and class conscious Negroes
are convinced that the only possible
way for Negroes to do away with the
determinations and other evils, under
which they now suffer, is by joining
hands with the intelligent, awakened
and class conscious white people
against the capitalists, exploiters and
landlords Of all races and colors.
Do Away With Prejudice.
These Negro reds whom Simmons
decries, believe that the way to re-
move a malady or evil is to do away
with it's cause or causes. Since cap
italism thrives on racial animosities
and prejudices, and race riots, which
are the very life blood of the system,
Negro reds favor doing away with
these feeders" of capitalism.
Simmons calls the DAILY WORK
Err crowd ''trigger-brained" white peo-
pie, and Negro reds soft-brained. The
DAILY WORKER is absolutely fair
and square to Negroes, and even goes
out of its way to obtain and print
truthful Negro news.
DAILY WORKER for Negroes.
This cannot be said of any of the
capitalist owned and controlled news
papers, who go out of their way to
obtain untruthful and derogatory Ne
gro news, and herald in big black let
ters across their front pages real or
imaginary offenses attributed to Ne
gro or Negroes.
Beware Of LaFolette.
This Negro renegade and traitor to
his race, Simmons, brags about LaFol-
lette's way being the way Of the
Saxon and not of the Slav. That alone
ought to cause every sane and intelli-

REVEREND BOSS
LOVER NOT Loved

Lynn MiIitants Busting
Union Buster
Especial to The Daily Worker

BOSTON, June 15.-Rev. Chester
T. Underhill, Baptist minister of
Lynn, Mass, bit off more than he
could chew when he tried to get the
shoe workers to abandon their union
by conducting referendum, in CO.
operation with the shoe capitalists, in
an attempt to settle their demands
of course, in favor of the employers.
The shoe workers have challenged
the preacher to appear before their
meetings to debate the issues in the
dispute with the bosses. Macheal
Berry, leader of the shoe workers,
challenged Underhill to debate but
was refused.
Today an open letter was sent to
the reverend by William Simons,
organizer of the Workers Party, chal-
longing him to appear before the shoe
workers of Lynn to state his case,
giving equal time to Simons to state
the case Of the shoe workers. Under
hill will be forced into the open as an
agent Of the employers.

Russian Coop Bank
Gains London Branch
Of Moscow Peoples
(Rosta News.)

MOSCOW, May 1O-(By MaiD.-
Some Russian co-operators, who emf
grated after the revolution of October
November, 1917, decided to appropri-
ate the London branch of the Moscow
Peoples bank "a central cooperative
bank, of which they made an indie
pendent bank, distributing the found
ers' shares between themselves. Last
year however, the All-Russian Coop
erative bank, which represents the
interests of the Russian cooperative
movement, put forth claim to the
aforementioned group, demanding
that the London branch be turned
over to the Soviet.
A preliminary agreement was con-
cluded, by virtue of which the All
Russian Cooperative bank was grant
ed the right to participate jointly in
the business of the Moscow Peoples
bank. At the present time, however,
the bank is passing altogether to the
Soviet, and a new board of directors
has been appointed, consisting of rep
resentatives of the producers and the
consumers cooperative and the ALI
Russian Cooperative bank.

gent Negro to condemn LaFollette
The southern states, the most bar
borous, backward, unprogressive and
uncivilized section of the United
States of America, is populated nearly
100 per cent by Saxons, excluding the
Negroes there.
"saxons" Rule South.
The trainers Of Jim-crow, discrimi-
tary and other anti-Negro laws, are
pure Saxons. Southern planters hold
ing Negroes in peonage are Saxons.
The southern mobbists and lynchers
are 100 per cent Saxons. Ku Klux
Klansmen are undefiled Saxons.
In view of these facts this Negro
Simmons is either fool or a lackey
of the worst type to boast of Saxon
ism.
The Slav workers, who now rule
Russia, when they came into power,
practically gave freedom and liberty
to the black, brown and yellow ma
tons and peoples who we're oppressed
for centuries under the czarist regime.
Negroes Prefer "sIavic" North.
Negroes of the United States, in my
opinion, as rule, prefer to live in the
north, where Slavs reside, than to live
in Dixie with those dear beloved
Saxons whom Simmons praises.
Let Renegades Clean Sewers.
Renegades and traitorous Negroes
of the stripe of Simmons, who pose
as leaders of their race, are a worse
menace to the great mass of exploited
and oppressed Negro workers, than
the known Negro enemies such as
Klansmen and southern crackers.
However, more and more Negroes
will awake and become reds, and it Is
only a question of time, when Negro
lackeys like Roscoe Conklin Simmons,
along with the white ones. in place OF
making their living by deluding and
selling out their race, will be made to
do honest and necessary work such as
cleaning sewers, catch basins and
sweeping streets.

Rum-Runners Run
Off Jobs for 81
More a Package

ATLANTIC CITY, June 15.-The
latest fashion in strikes is believed TO
have been discovered In Atlantic City.
Non-union workers in one OF the basic
industries of the country refuse to
work unless paid more. The element
of Industrial accidents and increasing
risks to the workers health is in
volved.
It's the rumrunners. They used to
charge 81 case for going out to sea
and bringing back liquor. Now they
demand SO a case. because the coast
guard patrols are more active in
shooting at them. II caught by the
officers they dump the cargo over
board-and get nothing but curses
from their boss on shore. They say
the bosses high up make all the
money. while they do all the work and
face all the dangers OF the trade.
Pay more or drink less, is the strike
ultimatum.

CLOAK MAKERS
NEGOTIATIONS
BREAKING OFF
Union Ready to Call
Workers Strike
BY REBEccA GREcHT.
5 special to the Daily Worker.)

NEW YORK, June 15.-All possibili-
ties of a peaceful settlement of the
differences between the International
Ladies' Garment Workers union and
the jobbers' association are fast be-
Jig eliminated The latest conference
Vi representative from the union and
4 e association, held in Hotel Meal
pin, indicate that negotiations will be
broken off and the strike call Of the
international put into action.
The many conferences which had
already been held in an effort to
reach an agreement on the demands
of the union had proven entirely fruit
less. This last conference, however,
demonstrated more clearly than ever
before that the jobbers are not sin
cere. in their demand for a settle
ment without strike. The statement
they brought to the conference, which
was the first practical declaration
they had made since negotiations be-
gan, did not grant one important de-
mand of the union. Again they in
sisted that the unions demand for linn
itation of the number of contractors
a jobber can employ is the stumbling
block to a settlement. To all con-
crete questions asked by union repre-
sentatives as to what demands they
can concede, they evaded reply.
Final Conferences Called.
This made it quite evident that the
jobbers were maneuvering to delay
decision and gain time. The union
representatives thereupon declared
that unless the jobbers are prepared
to state what their position is, fur
Their negotiations are useless. They
demanded that another conference be
called at which the jobbers must def
nitely declare which of the unions
demands they accept or reject. Such
a0conference was finally agreed upon.
Workers Anticipate Strike.
In union circles it is the general be-
lief that these negotiations simply
waste time in proftless discussion,
and that the general strike cannot be
avoided. The union leaders, however,
viii wait until the next conference,
altho there is no prospect of obtaining
a satisfactory reply from the jobbers.
1t is expected that following the con-
ference the strike call will become
reality.
Meanwhile mass meetings of cloak
makers are being held in preparation
for the strike.
