The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-08-27
As WE SEE IT

credit to Tic Toe, the mythical
French detective, was emblazoned in
the columns of the Chicago American
last Saturday. Under several double
column heads the story was told Of a
deep seated conspiracy, with head
quarters on the South Side of Chicago,
which had no other aim than to over
throw the capitalist system, to estab-
lish a Soviet Republic in the United
States and to emancipate the Negroes
from wage slavery as we'll as from
the race persecution and discrimina-
ton to which they are now subjected.
THE sleuth who snuffled this piece Of
4 intelligence out Of the revolution
airy labyrinths was colored fink by
the name of Brusseaux, who runs
confidence game under the comic
geudonym of the Keystone Detective
Agency. Whether Brusseaux is trying
to Guido the Keystone Comedies or
not may not be learned until the great
dick begins to write his autobiog-
raphy or perhaps until somebody
else writes his obituary. 1t can be
said, however, that Mr.. Brusseaux is
one of the country's greatest shuttle
hounds and can smell Pullman
blanket farther than prohibition
agent can smell bottle OF synthetic
gin.
DRUSSEAUX'S fnkery is somewhere
~ on the South side of the city.
When he is not holding up women OF
easy virtue for part of the wages Of
their misfortune, he is employed ran
sacking the kitchens of Pullman port
ers for forks, spoons, and other art
icles that employees of the Pullman
company may confiscate in lieu Of
wages. Colored workers from the
South side say even worse than that
of Brusseaux. Unfortunately the
postal laws prohibit certain kind of
language from going thru the mails
and the record of Brusseaux can only

language. Our readers will have no
difficulty in believing anything about a
detective except something good.
THERE is going to be Negro La
1 Dor Congress in Chicago next Oc-
tober. How this news trickled out re-
NAMED a mystery for several half sec
onds until it suddenly dawned on the
Initiated that Negro labor organizers,
the progressive kind, we're spending
considerable sums of money advertis-
ing the fact. In fact they have a pa
per known as the Negro Champion,
which comes out twice a month and
tells the world that the Negroes are
out to organize and to fight for their
rights regardless of the opposition
placed in their way by the capitalists
and their white and colored stoolpige-
ons.
TWO columns of space in Hearsts
l. rag told of the conspiracy to radi-
calize the Negro workers and make
them acquainted with the progress
being made in the Soviet Union. A
picture of a colored comrade seated
among a number of red soldiers was
featured as evidence that the Ameri-
can Negro Labor Congress is con-
spiracy Matched in Moscow. 1t proves
one thing to the Negroes, and that is,
that in Soviet Russia the Negro is not
looked down upon because of his color
but is given a place of honor.
rTHE Negro workers who are en-
4 gagged in the task of helping to
emancipate their people from racial
discrimination and wage slavery
should be grateful to Hearst's filthy rag
for the advertising, tho the publicity
was not intended as favor. If stool
pigeon Brusseaux got paid for his rub
bish, he was putting something over
on the Hearst sheet. Anybody who
wants to learn all there is to be
learned about the Negro Labor Con-
gress can do so by subscribing to
the Negro Champion.

THAT the position of Morris Sigman,
4 president of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union is ex-
tremely delicate is proven by long
wall which he sends forth in a recent
issue of Justice, the official organ Of
the union. Sigman declares that he
has no intention of expelling anybody
because of his or her opinions but
Communists are traitors and spies and
so on ad nauseum. II am a socialist
in the wider meaning of the word"
declares Sigman. Just like Ramsay
Macdonald, his conception of social
ism is SO wide that he walks right
thru it into capitalism.
THE reason why Sigman uses up
L whIoe front page Of his sheet in an
appeal to the members Of the interna-
tional not to join the Joint Council OF
Action is not far to seek. The great
