The Negro Tenant-Farmer
and Agricultural Worker.

ENIGHT million Negro agricultural
- workers, share troopers and ten
ant farmers live in the southern states
in a condition in some respects re-
sembling the serfdom OF Europe two
hundred years ago. Agricultural Ia
borers are forcibly held in compul
sorry labor under corporal punishment,
Tenant and share farmers. are bound
to the earth, by force prevented from
leaving locality where. they are adj
judged to be in debt to landlords who
exercise the rights of feudal masters
A racial caste system, remaining sys-
tenn, remaining from the chattel
slave period, sharply divides the ex
plotted masses into black and white,
thus facilitating the most cruel ex-
ploitation. Political rights are prac-
tically withheld from the Negro la
borer and farmer.
1t is the duty Of our part to take
the initiative in organizing Negro agri-
cultural workers into labor unions, to-
gether with white agricultural work
ers if possible, but separately if un-
avoidable, and to bring such unions
into the general labor movement. An
other supremely important duty of
the party is to promote the organiza-
ton of Negro tenant farmers, share
choppers and small farmers generally
together with white farmers of the
same exploited class if possible), and
to bring such organizations into CO.
operation as allies of the labor move
ment.

The Negro and the Labor
Party. =,

THE task of the Communists among
= the Negro workers as elsewhere
is in its first stage to bring about
class consciousness and to- crystalline
this in independent class political &C
ton against the capitalist class. The
profound social changes of the war
and postwar period have already
shown indications of a partial exodus
of Negro masses from the republican
party; and this represents a break
with tradition, a visible2 evidence of
the beginning of the end of the alli-
ance of the Negro with the capitalist
class.
The labor party slogan and cam
paign possesses a peculiarpusefulness
in the work of bringing the Negro
workers into the economic as we'll as
the political labor movement. We shall
advance the idea Of the Negro work
ers taking an initiatoryBand leading
part in the formation of the labor par
ty. With this in views we shall in
every labor party action prominently
raise the issues of discrimination
against the Negro politically, indus
trially, and in public CUSTOMS The
disfranchisement of the Negro in the
southern states must be made an
especially urgent reason for the polit-
ical organization of the. Negro work
ers thru collective affiliation with the
labor party; and the winning of polit-
ical rights for the Negro proletarians
must be placed before both white
and Negro workers as an immediate
objective of the labor party movement
and a necessity for giving the work
ers' political movement its full
strength.

Lynching and Race Riots.

4 the problem of lynching and race
riots, not merely with words of sym

applied. The essence of the problem
is to create united class front of
the working class. We shall endeavor
to have established in localities where
both Negro and white industrial work
ers are employed. permanent inter
racial labor committees against lynch
ing, against terrorization of Negro and
white workers, against the ku klux

against inequality of pay, against race

We should encourage the Negro
workers to take an interest in and

fact has caused much confusion and
complication in the labor movement.

tradition that the Negro, even when
drawn into industrial labor, is ma

In industry the fact that any degree

former serf-like status, taken in con-
junction with the 'labor-aristocratic

The, basis of that tradition has been
undermined in the tumultuous changes
of the world war. The present is an
epoch in which the industrialized Ne

tural proletariat, moves into posi-

rights of soldiers and sailors in army
and navy without segregation in col
ored regiments, the right to frequent
all places of public resort without
segregation (hotels, theatres, restau-

will demonstrate thru experience that
these aspirations can be realized only
as a result of the successful class
