PORTENAR URGES
NEGRO LABOR TO
BREAK STRIKES
New York Labor Medi-
ator Lauds Scabbing
BY SYLVAN A. PoLLACK.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 9.-Negro
workers should become strikebreak-
ers, according to the opinion voiced
by A. ]. Portenar, chief mediator of
the New York state department Of
labor, speaking at the meeting Of the
National Urban League, which was
held at the 18th st. branch 70 the
Young Women's Christian League,
claiming that by so doing, they would
gain recognition as to their abilities.
Portenar said that strikebreaking
was an extreme and unpleasant means
Of forcing recognition, but commended
that it was one of the most practical
methods. He advised the Negro work
ers to become more effective slaves,
stating that in that way the unions
would be anxious to enroll them as
members.
Charles S. Johnson, director Of the
department Of research of the Urban
League, said that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor was anxious to union
ize the Negroes to prevent their be-
coming strikebreakers, but that in
dividual unions were prejudiced
against them. He declared that the
Negro had become a power in strike
breaking and said that colored work
ers broke the last stockyard strike,
the last steel workers strike and the
strike of the railroad shopmen in
1922. At present, he said, 500 Ne
groes are helping to break the coal
strike.
Only four international unions in
vite Negroes to membership, Johnson
declared, listing the Longshoremen's
Union, the Hold Carriers Union, the
Tunnel Workers Union and the unions
of common building trade laborers.

that, make a contribution Of perma-

no rights, altogether dependent upon
the whims of the employers, always
threatened with the deportation from
a country, where they already have
made their home and living. Further
these bills are an indirect attack
against the whole American working
class, because they create a reserve
army of foreign-born workers with
no rights, forced to starve to death
or be deported or to take work at the
lowest wages. This will absolutely
lower the level OF the wages in the
