the South African labor party pro-
gram, dominated by reactionary ON
cials, for the continuance Of the color
ban. The narrow, temporary econom-
ic benefits to the white workers OF
their monopoly OF skilled labor and
supervisory jobs drives them to keep
up the political regulations and social
customs which secure them a monop-
oily of these jobs. The employers, on
the other hand, want these barriers
broken down, so far as the entrance
Of the natives into the labor field is
concerned, for only in this way can
they train scabs to replace the whites
when the latter strike. This is an in
stance where the real interests OF the
working class as a whole have been
forgotten and particular privilege Sc
cured for a small group OF workers of
a particular race. It ignores the fact
that progress for the working class
is possible only by the wiping out Of
all distinctions based on race or col
or. This fact must be learned by the
labor party Of South Africa, II It is
really to represent the workers. The
Communist Party of Africa, Of course
stands for the ending of the color
bans, as all Communist parties do
in every other nation.
Tremendous difficulties attend the
organization Of the Negro workers.
Few of them are at all educated and
most Of them are but little removed
from savagery. Each tribe hates the
other bitterly. The color prejudice is
deeply .ingrained; intensified by the
fact that the blacks outnumber the
whites five to one.

back his chair and abstractedly
watched the smoke rings from his
cigar disappear in the air.

workers were to come out with red
rosettes in buttonholes and to flying
red flags from their windows. The
Red Front of the workers held that
town in its own hands. The bourgeois
did not venture out of doors until af-

interests, is kicking up all this fuss
about hand-me-down national mar
keting system in order to get the
minds Of farmers of the railroad
question:"
On the other hand the Kansas
Union Farmer, which goes to $4,000
Farmer Union readers, speaks very
differently of Mr.. Yoakum. That pa
per halls him as prophet and seer,
sacrificing time and money for the
unselfish purpose of helping the
American farmer. Its editor says:
'Mr. Yoakum is devoting all his time
and no little portion of his wealth
to an honest and sincere attempt to
better agriculture conditions" and
quotes Yoalum as saying: 1.-THE
cooperating marketing must have
failed because it has never yet sue
ceeded in organizing one hundred per
cent of the growers Of any American
farm commodity. Prices cannot be es-
tablished and maintained by organ
izations that control Insignificant frac-
tions of the crop produced"
The Farmers, Union convention OF
Kansas passed a resolution endorsing
the work of Mr.. Yoakum and urged
their members to make careful
study of his plan for marketing or
ganization of national scope. along
the line of the Curtis-Aswell bill,
which will be reintroduced with
amendments.
We would call the attention of the
farmers of Kansas to Mr.. Yoakum's
friend Hoover, and his relief trains
in Hungary and how he betrayed their
class over there into the hands of the
present butcher OF that nation. Birds
of a feather flock together and we
predict that Hoover and Yoakum are
birds of the same feather.
The National Farmers Union is not
united on farm cooperative plan.
We hope that by the next national
convention they will have seen the
foolhardiness of a divided house and
strike out for united front and form
association with the only friends they
can ever have-the wage workers OF
the nation and the world. The Yoak-
ums, we agree with the Nebraska edi-
tor, are hoax ems, and the sooner the
farmers find 1t out the better.

soup concocted from meat bones and
water, with a few vegetables thrown
in; the chuncks of beef and the bones
left over from the soup and a small
piece OF dry, white break. There is
no variation in the service. However,
should the Negroes get tired of this
bill Of fare, they can patronize the
"Kafir" restaurant, vile-smelling
joint maintained on the premises and
never patronized by the whites.
The Lash for Slaves.
Under these circumstances it is lit
tie wonder that the blacks hate and
fear the work in the mines. If they
try to escape, however, they are
severely whipped, then sentenced to
some months in Jail. On release they
must return to the mine to fill out
the unexpired term of their contract.
Whipping, indeed, is the usual pun
ishment for the slightest disobedience
ON the part of the natives. It is done
in this fashion: the Negro is held,
wet sack laid over his bare back, and
rawhide applied. The wielder Of
the lash is always a member Of an
other tribe. Bitter inter-tribal hat
reds persist, and are utilized by the
white managers to keep the workers
apart. Tactics of divide and con-
quer" apply even in South Africa.
The white miners, who are really
the petty foremen or skilled workers,
receive SIS a day for eight hours.
They have been strongly organized,
but they lost the last strike. Each has
ten Negroes under him. There are
over $4,000 of these whites, so some
comprehension of the size of the in
dustry may be obtained. Mining for
gold and diamonds is indeed the only
considerable industry in South Africa.
due in part to the heavy tax laid by
the British government upon new in
dustrial establishments and in part to
the fact that practically no labor
adaptable to factory work is avail
able.

economic situation is the demand in

BY J. E. SNYDER.

WHO is Mr.. Yoakum? Well, prin-
W cipally, he is the champion of that
bone of contention that is liable to
split the farmers cooperative move
ment of the great west wide open.
We would not be surprised If he is
not a stalking horse for Herbert
Hoover for president. He of course,
professionally. is a railroad magnate,
and has recently become another tex
pert" for the farmer, using his own
fame and fortune. according to his
boosters, to emancipate the farmers.
In the last congress he was the
chief hacker of the Curtis Aswell
bill, which would have congress
charter a national marketing associa-
ton and name eleven incorporators-
hand picked, of course-to whom S10,-
100000 would be given with which to
unite all farmers organizations.
The farm papers of the farmers
Union do not agree on this program
nor on Mr.. Yoakum. The Nebraska
Union Farmer is inclined to say
"Hoak'em." That paper which goes
to eighteen thousand members Of the
Farmers Union of Nebraska denounc-
es the scheme as being from the top
down." and suggests that the way to
get national marketing system is to
build it from the bottom up" the
farmers organizations forming their
own marketing system and not have
a Moses do it for them.
This farm paper says:
"The motives of Mr.. Yoakum we
do not like to question but for years
he has been an ardent defender of
railroads and their policies. Only
recently he wrote letter to the in
terstate commerce commission bear
ing on the present rate case (which
the corn belt farmers are now rails
ing fund to fight. {. S.) in
which he maintained that It is not
railroad rates, but mlddIemen's pro-
fits, that is burdenirg agriculture.
II MIR. Yoakum Is whoIe-heartedIy
for the farmer, why does he always
fly to the rescue Of the railroads.
Farmers are suffering from the ex-
actions of the railroad as we'll as
from the middIemen. Is II possible
