The year 1865 saw the unshakling
of Negro chattel slaves, 1886 marked
the period when workers becoming
class conscious struck a great blow

BY Dan Irwin.

EOR a long number Of years May
i Day, among many peoples, has
been a festival day. AS far back as
the 10th and II centuries May Day
was a day set apart by many North
European folk as being symbolic OF
approaching Spring.
Forty years ago, however, May Day
acquired a new significance as day
of celebration. May Day, 1886, marked
the beginning of the great working
class strike for the right of the S-hour
day for workers.
This was the beginning OF a long
drawn-out struggle by organized work
ers to secure for working-class peo-
pies some semblance of decent consid-
Grafton of themselves and their labor
power. Before this period workers
had little considered themselves and
had been still less considered by other
classes in the social order; they had
gone along meekly, allowing parasitic
individuals and classes to continually
rob them Of all they produced. except
barely enough to exist on, that they
might return TO their work and labor
again for their master. Following this

great strike Of 1886 have come the
battles of Paterson, Lud-
low, Colorado and the great steel
strike of 1919, the conflict for right
and liberty still RACES. To Negro
workers May Day, the international
day for workers of all races, all ma
tionalities, ought not to be a day OF
celebrations and festivities alone, but
day the significance of which should
be deeply pondered by Negro working
class peoples throut the country.
WHAT does May Day mean to the
w Negro workers? A little more
than sixty years ago the status Of the
Negro in America was changed from
that of a chattel slave to that of a
wage slave: the long bloody night OF
chattel slavery thru which the Negro
passed in this country had held him
not only a helpless creature in chains,
treated worse than a savage animal.
considered with no more feeling by
the owning class than block of wood,
a pig, or a bale of cotton; he was
mercilessly driven to work under the
burning sun, thru fever-ridden swamps
and forest jungles, to be paid only
with lashes ON his back; but, also rep
resenting as he did, labor power in its

fought against, and the slogan of class
solidarity must be raised against that

Left Wing Action.
The present task of the left wing
is to awaken into action all Of the
latent forces of labor, to stimulate the
unions into launching campaigns to
organize the unorganized, to present
plans for these campaigns, to propa-
gandize the unions for city-wide or.
ganization drives, with mass rank and
file organizing committees, to demand
from the international officials and the
A. F. of L. that national industrial
campaigns be Immediately launched
to the end that the millions of work
ers who have left the unions during
the past few years shall return, and
the huge mass of workers in the
heavy industries be brought into the
fold of organized labor.
This is a big and important under
taking. 1t is huge and difficult task.
1t is the major problem now confront
ing the unions. And it is the left
wing that must furnish the leadership
in the struggle. Let our slogan be-
