Queens Writes on
Question of Social
Equality and Negro

To The DAILY. WORKER: The
capitalist newspapers of the United
States constantly state that Negroes
must not be accorded social equal
ity. Whenever Negroes make stand
for civil rights and equal accommo-
dations in places of amusement
hotels, restaurants and on public
conveyances the capitalist papers,
such as the Chicago Tribune, assert
that Negroes are fighting for social
equality. "
The bugaboo of social equality is
always mentioned by the southern
capitalists as the one condition that
must not exist between Negroes and
whites. (They mean Negro and
white workers, however.)
The late President Harding said
in his Birmingham speech on the
Negro problem, that there must not
be and cannot be any social equality
between Negroes and whites.
Social equality does not exist
among all white people nor all
Negroes. Neither does it exist be-
tween Negroes and whites. Every
person, regardless of race or color,
is free to choose his own friends.
The son of ]. P. Morgan will not
marry the daughter of his fathers
butler, despite the fact that all are
white; neither viii Mr.. Rockefeller
daughter marry her fathers chauf-
feur.
The white Transfers or street car
employees Of Chicago do not and
had better not attend the socia'
functions Of the Chicago capitalists
at the LaSalle and Blackstone
hotels. A white worker cannot even
enter by the front door at the Hotel
LaSalle.
Negro stock yard workers do not
fraternize or associate with the
Negro bankers, realtors or profess
sional men.
A Negro worker would be unani-
mously blacl-balled if he would
have the audacity to try to join the
Appotomax Club composed Of Negro
business men, real estate sharks and
would-be capitalists.
People in a restaurant, on a street
car or attending a theater do not
engage in conversations with each
other if they are not acquainted, re-
gardless of race or color.
Men are often arrested for speak
ing to women whom they have never
been introduced to. No one except
fool will go to another persons
private party or residence unless he
or she has received an invitation.
Social equality is used like the
mythical public" by the capitalists
and their lackeys to confuse and
obscure the real issue.
Negroes, however, must demand
every right enjoyed by every other
citizen, including their constitutional
right and also their natural right
in public life to go, eat, sleep wher-
ever they please and above all, to
to love or marry whomsoever they
please, regardless of race or color.
In private life of course, Negroes
should go, eat, and sleep wherever
they are invited.
If it is all right for a southern
white man to associate with Negro
women and young ladies, in my opin-
ion it is doubly o. X. for Negro
men to associate with white women
and young ladies. What is good
for the goose is stiH better for the
gander.-GORDON OWENS, Chi

CANADIANS CRY
TO GOVERNMENT
IN BANK CRISIS
Ask New Laws to Pro-
tect Deposits
Bv JOHN RoBuR

(StaR Correspondent Of The Federated Presn)
OTTAWA.-The pressure on the
Canadian government to take some
steps to give small depositors secur-
ity in the banks is increasing. A
deputation representing the deposit
tors of the Home Bank, which failed,
waited on the cabinet and, snot re-
ceiving an assurance of action to
satisfy them, left with a promise to
renew the campaign in parliament.
The deputation asked the govern
ment TO pay the losses itself, or loan
the banks as a whole $4,000, 000-
half to be used to pay the depositors
and the other half to be invested to
earn fund to repay the government
loan.
A $4,000 900 Failure.
The Home Banks $12, 900, 900
failure, involving heavy losses of
savings to people Of small means, has
brought to a head an agitation for
banking reform which has been in
progress for some years in Canada.
In the last couple Of years other
banks have had to accept heavy
losses to their shareholders and one
large bank had to merge with an
other to prevent catastrophe.
There are two main complaints
against the Canadian banking svs-
tenn; that it does not provide safety
for savings, and that it has monopoly
tendencies. In 1917 there were 81
chartered banks in Canada, each hav-
i ing branches thruout the dominion.
Today, allowing for mergers author
lied but not completed, there are
only IA.
Proposals for reform include guar
antee of deposits and establishment
of an independent board to control
banks loan policy.
Higher Tariff Asked.
/ OTTAWA. - The manufacturers
of Canada are in no way disposed to
yield their vested rights to protection
by tariff duties.
Last session the Canadian parlia-
ment reduced the duties slightly on
goods coming direct to Canada from
Great Britain, and already the Can
adian shoe manufacturers are crying
out against the invasion of their mar
ket by English shoes. The DOGGY of
the Canadian shoe men used to be
American footwear, but now the
English maker is the enemy. A
speaker at shoe trade convention
in Montreal the other day demanded
that the government put up the duty
on shoes.

Tributes to the
Daily Worker
The DAILY WORKER has re-
ceived a letter RS follows:

Inc DAILY WOhkER mas re-
ceived a letter as follows:
Endicott, N. Y. Jan. 81, 1924.
To The DAILY WORKER: Again
l notify you to discontinue The
DAILY WORKER paper to my ad-
dress. feel tits disgrace to any
home to have it found there. Such
hideous pictures and reading matter
in nothing but fault finding and adj
vocating something to create dissat-
isfaction among the workers.
You might give that stuff to for
eigners and other ignorant class of
people of which you should be
ashamed but the world in general
laugh you to scorn.
And we must all put up with
the many disagreeable things you
bring to pass thru the labor union.
Yours truly,
r. c. MAXWELL.
EDITORS NOTE: We quite
agree with the writer that to send
such an individual publication that
appeals to reason comes under the
heading Of "cruel and unusual pun
ishment." We have heard from this
person before. He lives in the COM
pany-owned shoe town Of Endicott,
N. Y, where everything from the
grocery store to the church is owned
by the great shoe producing firm
of Endicott-Johnson.
Some radical who knows what
kind of mental bankrupt R. G.
Maxwell is, and who is not bur-
dened with a tender conscience that
rebels at causing pain to low forms
of animal life, evidently has placed
the gentleman on the mailing list
Of The DAILY WORKER.
Owned body and soul by the cor
poration that owns the town in
which he lives, Mr.. Maxwell in his
ignorance resents the efforts of The
DAILY WORKER to make this
world a better place to live even if
in doing so creatures of his type
will be automatically benefited. The
DAILY WORKER is under no ne
cessity to creating dissatisfaction
among the workers.
The dissatisfaction is created by
the capitalist system and we simply
direct it along lines that will pro-
duce the best results and bring
about a condition where dissatisfac-
ton will be eliminated with the
elimination Of the capitalist system
which. along with other evils, pro-
duces such types as Mr.. Maxwell.)

WARTIME JUMP
IN WHEAT MARKET
81, ,m0,0 900 Bushels Change
Hands in One Trading Day
as Prices Skyrocket.
By the Associate Press.

Dy lne AsSOClApeQ fRekS.
CHICAGO, July 26.-War-time con-
ditions in the wheat market have
been rivaIed this week by the eff
fects Of Canadian black rust and
drought On single day prices here
jumped as much as cents a bushel.
and more than S1,000,oo0 bushels
changed hands.
Compared with a week ago. wheat
this morning showed 5s4 to Ga gain,
cline to z cent advance. oats un-
changed to 70 cent lower, and pro-
visions 35 cents to s1.00 up.
Excitement in the wheat market
reached its maximum after kilograms
were received from widely known
damage in Canada had been under
estimated and that black rust in
fection had extensively developed in
Manitoba. where the drought had
least been felt From the advices at
hand. leading traders in Chicago ex-
pressed an opinion that the reduction
in the Canadian crop this year, as
compared with last year. was already
equal to the entire exportable sur
plus of Argentina and Australia com
bined, or to the total crop of Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas together.
Immense profit taking sales here
brought about subsequent sharp set
backs in wheat values. but neverthe-
less day after day the market con-
tinued to surpass all previous high
price records for the season. The
fresh upturns in the Chicago market
were largely due to surprising
strength of quotations at Liverpool
and Winnipeg and to indications that
exporters were buying United States
wheat, as well as purchasing in
Canada
Weather favorable for the new corn
crop tended to counterbalance in the
corn market the influence of the
wheat bulge. Meanwhile. oats were
largely governed by corn.
Demand for provisions was keen.
with hogs at the topmoSt prices yet
this year.
