Some stopped to exchange greetings with passing

a corner They were on their way to the garment
district where word reached the station house a
demonstration of cloakmalers would take place.
The distance between the station house and garment
district short. They had hardly finished the
conversations, some of them carried on when they
reached their destination.
Silently they formed barrier of shining night

The impetuous strikers were not to be thus easily

WHILE Negro troops were parading
Wup Fifth Avenue honoring the
young American aviator Lindbergh
and demonstrating their loyalty to
the government whose uniform they
wore, two Negroes, Jim and Mark
Fox, brothers, accused of having
slain sawmill superintendent in
Louisville, Missouri, were seized by
a mob, paraded thru the streets of
the town, tied to telephone post,
saturated with gasoline and burned
to death. The airplane that carried
Lindbergh to France and glory was
named the spirit Of st. Louis" but

is lighted gasolene and the smell Of
burning flesh.
IMPORTANT items of news are
usually hidden away in the recesses
of the capitalist press. 1t would
never do to stick this item on the
front page on the day after the most
popular American hero had millions
cheering for him and singing the
praises Of the country whose stocks
he has boosted by his feat. There
are two Americas: The America that
honors those who uphold it's capitalist
ruling class and the America that
burns Negroes at the stake and puts
militant workers in Jail.

I'm ]. LOuIS ENGDAHL.

In reviewing the worker CORE
spondents' movement in the United
States, one is inclined to stress the
obstacles confronting it rather than
recount its achievements. Among
some of our difficulties are the fol
lowing:
First:-The language problem,
workers in America speaking and
writing every conceivable language on
earth.
Second:-The feeling of worker
writers that everything that is writ
ten must be published absolutely as
written.
Third;-The development Of the
ability on the part of workers to get
the facts, and all the facts concerning
the incidents about which they write.
Fourth Failure to develop consis-
tent and continued activity as part of
the labor struggle.
Fifth:-Failure to develop and
maintain organized activity.
1t may be said that some, or even
all of these problems confront the
Worker Correspondents Movements
in other countries. But they are ag-
gravated in the United States by the
backwardness of our worker writer's
activities in general, and the limited
facilities of our press in particular.
Our Language Problem.
Our different foreign-language
publications, the Russian, Polish Ital-
ian, Jewish, Ukrainian, Finnish
Lithuanian, Jugo-Slav, Hungarian,
Lettish and others strive more or less
to develop worker correspondents in
their various tongues. This means a
big duplication of effort and failure
to coordinate the work, especially in
big industries, like the steel mills, on
the railroads, the coal mines, auto
mobile plants, metal mines, rubber
plants, textile mills and the clothing
industry. This multiplicity of LAM
guages makes it difficult also to build
worker correspondents groups of
workers speaking different languages,
which would be one method of elimi-
mating this duplication. The plan Of
making translations of the best mate
rial appearing in the different for
eign-language publications also re-
ceives its setbacks, due to the fact
that most of our editorial staffs are
already overburdened with work and
finances are too meager to permit Of
securing extra help. This is remedied
to some extent thru the setting up of
Worker Correspondents classes in the
larger cities, like New York City, Chi
cago, Detroit, Boston, Pittsburgh and
Los Angeles.
Too large a number of our Worker
Writers in America expect that all of
their material will be published, i'm
mediately and in full. When they are
disappointed in this respect, then they
cease their activities and offer this as
their excuse.
These correspondents would no
doubt be appalled, if they went thru
the Worker Correspondents Depart
ments of our publications in the Sow

Some Problems for Worker
Correspondents

let Union and beheld the vast amount
of material that is never used; Of the
many thousands of contributions that
appear merely as items of two, three
or four lines.
Our American Worker Writers have
much to learn in getting at the facts
and all the facts. Frequently their
contributions contain everything but
the facts. One classic example of in
correctness was turned in by a writer
who defended his mistakes. There
were six alleged facts in his story,
none of which were correct. The ex-
cuse offered was that the story
wouldn't be read anyway. Thus the
writer fails to comprehend that his
articles must be linked up with the
actual struggles of the workers, aid
ing them in their battles, and that
there is nothing that will disgust
workers more than an actual mis-
statement of conditions with which
they are perfectly familiar in their
day-to-day labors.
Must Develop Consistent Effort.
OF course these delinquencies are
merely indications that our Worker
Writers making these errors do not
exercise the proper care in their work,
do not seek correct understanding
Of the task before them, and do not
concentrate on this task with suffi-
cient effort to get the proper results.
Thus worker correspondents groups
are organized with considerable enthu-
siasm, but just as soon as some Of
the greater difficulties arise, these
groups quickly go to pieces.
The entire staff OF our American
Communist organ, The DAILY
WORKER, is smaller than that part
of the staff of The Pravda, for in
stance, that gives its exclusive atten-
ton to the worker correspondence of
the Central Organ of the Soviet
Unions Communist Party.
These are some of the problems
that our Worker Writers face in
America. They will be gradually over
come in time. We are learning much
from the methods, and we are inspired
by the enthusiasm and the energy of
the Worker-W Writers of the U. S. S. R.
We will profit by their example.

NECK BROKEN, BOY
DIES AFTER 50 DAYS
South Carolina Youth Is Con-
scious Until Shortly Before
Lungs Are ParaIyzed.
By the Associated Press.

FLORENCE, s. c., August 10
William w. Register died yesterday.
exactly one month after he had been
brought to the Florence Infirmary
suffering from a broken neck and a
crushed spinal cord sustained when he
dived into shallow water at a swim
ming pool near Florence.
The funeral will be held Sunday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock at Wesley
Chapel, near Lydia.
Register was 10 years old, having
celebrated his last birthday on July
% in the hospital here. He was con-
scious up to a few minutes before
paralysis of his respiratory muscles
became complete.
Several times in the past 80 days
Register has been given up as dead,
but the physicians have rekindled the
spark of life.
At times Register suffered intense
PAIN and opiates were given to bring
comfort and rest. He has known since
the first week that his condition was
courageous battle to the very last.
His mother was at his bedside when
the end came She had remained
there during the long night. His
father arrived a few minutes after his
son died. Mrs. Blanche Russell. a
sister, is on her way here from Flor
ida. Robert Register. a brother, is
in New York. Miss Rae Register, a
sister and Henry Register, a brother,
also survive.
1t had been known since Register
was operated upon three days after
he was hurt that not the mere frac-
ture Of the vertebrae, but the injury
to the spinal cord, would result in his
death. Paralysis of his body had been
complete.
