NEGROES MUST
CARRY PASSES
OR Be JAILED
Workers Demand Repeal
of Dastardly Ordinance

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, April 20
Negro citizens of Daytona Beach are
circulating petitions to be submitted
to members of the city commission to
revoke the ordinance which demands
that all Negroes must carry passes if
they wish to go about after dark.
Prosecute Negro Workers.
The following is taken from the
petition which shows the extent to
which they are inconvenienced and
prosecuted because of this dastardly
ordinance:
For a number of years there has
been city ordinance in force across
the river in what was. previously
known as Daytona Beach, prohibiting
the free movement of colored citizens
after nightfall. BY the provisions of
this ordinance no colored person from
this side of the river can go across
the bridge to Daytona Beach, and no
one on the other side can come to this
side without a pass issued by the
bridge-keeper.
Fear Arrest.
Further than this, colored people
employed in families and hotels on
the other side have been arrested and
fined for being on the street at night.
The men and women working on the
other side are wholly deprived of
pleasure and recreation by this I'M
American and unheard-of regulation.
Their churches, their lodges, their So
cial outlets are all on this side. They
cannot come to them without either
the humiliation of getting a pass or
the fear of arrest if they fail to do
So"

New York:

New York City.
"Dear Sir:
Your pamphlet Whittier America
and copy Of your paper The Patriot
came into my hands this morning and
therefore l am constrained to write
you asking you the same question that
was put to the chamber of commerce
and the American Legion of this city.
Challenges patriot" Society.
Are you prepared to name repre-
sentative of your organization to take
the negative in debate on question
that certainly will interest a mass of
workers of this city and country-both
American and foreign-born workers?
THE Workers (Communist) Party
proposes that you name a prominent
man-preferably yourself or some we'll
known New Yorker-to defend the
negative on the question::
Resolved, that the Declaration Of
LA1C pIOpdSdL1Ou
Of revolution in this country
You will agree that large numbers
Of people are particularly interested in
that document owing to this year be-
ing the 150th anniversary of its sign
ing. believe that, judging from the
Patriot and Whittier America you
will gladly argue the negative on the
above question.
please let me hear from you. l
wish to state in advance that the
central executive committee of the
Workers (Communist) Party will send
one of its members to present the af-
firmative in the debate. All questions
as to time and place of holding the de-
bate-preferably in a large hall in this
city-time to be allotted the speak
ers, etc.-can be settled at a confer
ence.
Correct Misstatements.
While writing you, however, l feel
impeiled to correct a few errors in
statements and a few in logic, as
demonstrated in your publication. The
membership Of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party does not yet number 20S,-
534, asgyou assert, supposedly quoting
from a report of the party. 1t is true
we have a vast number of sympathiz-
ers and our press is widely read, and
such inane attacks as your organiza-
ton and similar associations make will
only heIp to increase the influence of
our party. What Com. Leon Trotzky
said is true: American CAPT
talism is laying the foundation for
wars and revolutionary upheavals,
which in their frightful rebound will
not fail to strike the economic system
