Corporation wants the Negro workers
to believe that 1t is their friend and
benefactor, that they need not organ
ize and fight for better conditions.
In Time of Strike.
THE Steel Corporation would like to
use the Negro workers as scabs
in time of strike. One Of the Negro
workers, when informed of the labor
policy Of the corporation, said:
"The United States Steel Corpora
ton is preparing miNe that it will
be able to explode in time of strike or
other labor struggles. This policy will
result in race riots and bloodshed."
Join Together.
THERE is only one way that the
1 workers can prevent such conse-
quences, and that is by all the work
ers in the mills, no matter what their
race or color, joining hands, organic
ing, and fighting their common enemy

poration and after q heart to heart
talk secured assurances that prefer
ence would be given to Negro work
ers.
This policy is being put into effect.
In many Instances Negroes are ap-
pointed as foremen over mixed gangs
composed of Mexicans and other for
eign-born workers.
And why not? Why shouldn't the
Negro workers have the very same
opportunities as are accorded other
workers? But does 1t mean that the
Steel Corporation has the interests Of
the Negro at heart?
All Exploited.
No, a thousand times no. The Ne
gro, along with all other workers, is
given the most dificut the most ex-
hausting. the most detestable jobs

safety" Spies.
THE Steel Corporation employs so
l. called safety inspectors. These
safety men" are supposed to look
after the safety of the workers But
they are nothing but company spies.
In case of an accident they do their
best to throw all the blame on the
workers. These are the conditions I'M
der which the Negro workers work.
When they dare to object to these
conditions they are fired and in order
to get job in another department are
forced to change their names. The
final example of the interest which the
Steel Corporation has in the Negro is
shown by the recent explosion in the
by-products plant.

farm BLOC in

HOUR APPROACHES
VIII Be Received by
Governor and Mayor
Especial to Tho DaIIy wOrkerl

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-Farm
bloc leaders were in a quandary today
over whether to ieopardize the effec-
tiveness of the McNary- Haugen farm
relief bill by removing its alleged "un-
constitutional features, or to chance
the entire bills fate with the supreme
court.
One clause in the bill would make
the payment of an equalization fee
compulsory to every producer This
has been declared unconstitutional by
Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho.
But If the clause is taken out, leaders
say, the bottom will drop out of the
fee principle.
Altho voting was scheduled TO start
today on the first of the multitudin-
GUS amendments that have been Of
fered to the BILL Senator McNary, re
publican, Of Oregon, sponsor of the
bill, was proceeding slowly and eau
tiously. II the final vote is fastened,
without ironing out many differences
Of opinion, it will be extremely diff
cult to muster a majority vote.
Farm bloc leaders, in a closed con-
ference today, agreed to stand solid
ly behind the McNary- Haugen plan
and to accept none of the substitute
measures.
Sees More Debts For Farmers.
Senator Gooding, republican, of
idaho, characterized all Of the sub
stitutes as new means for the farm
er to get into debt"
He referred to the Lenroot and
Tess amendments, both OF which
would offer straight loans to farmers,
and to the Robinson bill, which would
advance loans on an even broader
scale. -
Meanwhile, Senator Bruce, demo
GRAFT, of Maryland, was attacking the
bill on the floor as Another economic
fallacy from the Bryan-Brookhart

not to consider ways to make condi-
lions more safe for the workers, but
to speed them still more and increase
production higher than ever, regard
less of life or limb.
Negroes Highly Exploited.
The Negro workers in the mills are
uniformly given the worst and hard
est jobs. Rare, IL ever. do they get
placed at decent job. no matter how
long they may work at the same mill.
When, by chance, any Negro does
stand in line for a decent job, the
steel trust transfers him around and
puts a white worker in his place. This
causes great jealousy and tends to
lamentable race hatred, tho the COM
pany itself is to blame, deliberately
doing this to keep the workers OF both
aces divided and infamed at each
other, altho the company makes a great
pretense of being a friend of the
Negro"
In the Merchant Mills Of the U. S.
Steel Corporation there is a general
grating suffered by the workers from
foremen and men in the employment
office. To hold their Jobs or get one,
certain sums of money or presents
are extorted from the workers, par
ticularly the Mexican and Spanish
workers, who see no way out of being
victimized because there is no union
in the mills.

foremen, is especially bold and bully

The DAILY WORKER was able to

were not always in the favor Of the
Steel Corporation. Some time ago the

for Mexican workers and large num-

at the mills.

FOURTH OF JULY
MASS MEETINGS

NIHOO MEEIIIvUO
Thru mass meetings, indoor and out,
picnics, debates, outings, and in
number of other attractive and in
structive ways, thousands of workers
this year are going to show that July
Fourth means something TO the Ameri-
can working class-but quite differ
ent thing from what It means to the
Security Leaguers and the 'pay-triots''
whose business it is to round up the
American workers and turn them into
obedient slaves and good cannon fod-
der and voting material for the bosses.
"Fourth" Of Great Importance.
Fourth of suly this year is of espe-
cially great importance, for this year
the whole country is aroused by the
celebration Of the 150th anniversary
of the independence OF the United
States (Sesqui-Centennial Celebrs-
tom
The bosses propagandists are TAX
ing good advantage of this opportunity
to spread their dope about the Ameri-
can revolution and American history
with the aim of branding the labor
movement, the trade unions, independ-
emit working class political action, and,
in fact, every form Of real militant
action of the workers, as "un-Ameri-
can" and foreign"
Meet the Security Leaguers.
To combat this sort of propaganda
of the bosses and the government and
TO spread true working-class ideas
about the American revolution and
American history, workers all over the
country are arranging all kinds OF
meetings and affairs for the July
Fourth week end.
Speakers Of national reputation viii
be at these meetings. Wherever pos.
sible, debates are being arranged be-
tween Security Leaguers and other
"pay-triots" on the one side and class
conscious workers on the other, on
subjects connected with July Fourth
Every wide-awake worker who wants
to know the truth about July Fourth
and the American revolution should
take note of the meeting in his vicin-
ity and bring as many of his fellow
workers as possible to it.
