NEGROES RALLY
TO SUPPORT OF
LABOR CONGRESS
Green Told to Keep His
Hands of

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 21.-That
the Negro workers are rallying to the
support Of the American Negro Labor
Congress-, which holds its convention
in Chicago in October, Is again DEM
onstrated by an editorial In the cleVe-
land Herald.
This Negro paper advises William
Green, president Of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, who attacked the
Congress, to first see to it that the
labor unions abolish discrimination
against Negroes before passing out
gratuitous advice.
The editorial, printed in the Aug,
18th issue, is given below:
Gratultous Advice.
Our ever sollcitous friend, William
Green, president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, takes time from his
pressing duties to advise Negroes to
boycott the coming American Negro
Labor Congress. He informs the Ne
gro laborer that the congress is being
propagated by Moscow gold, and that
it's purpose is to 'mislead the Colored
man into believing all their grievances
will be remedied by overturning the
government of the United States and
establishing a Soviet republic" Mr..
Green further declares that the con-
rress will not be held to benefit the
Negro but to instill into the lives Of
that race the most pernicious doctrine
race hatred"
Since gratuitous advice is being
passed around we rise to offer the
following to the heir to the late Sam
uel Gompers' throne: 1t is not any
effort on the part of alleged Commun-
list emissaries from the Russian capt.
tai that instills race hatred into the
Negro. Rather it is such American
practices as the Federation of Labor
approves: discrimination against black
workers. When the American Negro
joins a revolutionary host to over
throw the government of the United
States it will not be because he has
been prompted to it by alien influence
but because he has been driven to it
by American lynchings, disfranchise-
ment and oppression.

AS WE SEE 1T
(Continued from PAGE ID

News, died last Thursday. Lawson
was reactionary and his sheet out
side of it's foreign page, which is
fairly good, is the dreariest typogra-
phical monstrosity that ever came off
press. Lawson was very wealthy,
and like many rich people, salved his
conscience and fed his vanity by be-
queathing part of the loot he took
out of his employees, to charitable
purposes. The paper that Lawson
owned will continue to run, as if
nothing had happened. This shows
how small a part capitalists play to-
day in the enterprises out of which
they draw their dollars.
.DR. JOHN ROACH STRATON, fire.
- eating baptist, has challenged
Clarence Darrow to debate on the sub
ject of evolution. Straton believes in
the virgin birth theory, simply be-
cause his god would be in hell of a
fix for an excuse to call Jesus of
Nazareth his son, on any other
grounds than a supernatural one.
What the ruling class accomplished
in making a monkey out of Jesus was
to rob the oppressed of darned good
rebel. That's just what Jesus was if
he was anything.
DEFAULTING bank officials get
~ away with something like one
thousand times more loot every year
than do the professional bank rob-
bers, according to statistics. Yet, we
do not hear of any auxiliary police
being organized to get the drop on the
bankers. The bankers are offering re-
wards for bank robbers dead or alive.
The suggestion is made that under
paid clerks could raise their living
standards considerably by taking an
occasional pot shot at their own bank
heads.
CHICAGO is noted for its crime
~ record. More police are demand
ed to stem the flood of murders that

years. But If one is to judge by the
number of policemen engaged in MAX
ing war on the unions lately, II would
appear that Chicago has police to
spare. A few evenings ago a police
sergeant with a squad of men APP
peared at union meeting, with a
gun in one hand and tear bomb in
the other. He mounted the platform
and threatened to hurl the bomb into
the middle of the packed hall, IL there
was a move made.
THERE was no excitement The po-
4 lice searched the members for
arms but no weapons were found.
Three Of the officials were arrested
and held in heavy bail. This is typi-
cal of the way the police act towards
the workers. Officials and members
Of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers are now held in hundreds OF thou
sands OF dollars bail, on framed up
charges or for picketing peacefully
and within their legal rights. Yet
there are people who say this is not
