CONDITIONS In AMERICA NOT FROM MOSCOW AGENTS

both North and South. The Congress,
believing that the problems of i'm
mediate interest to the Negro are
those involved in making a decent
living, is laboring to organize the
Negro workers into trade unions with
white workers who have the same eco
nomic interest as Negro workers.
White and Negro Workers Unite.
With regard to the race problem
the Congress dictum is that white
workers and Negro workers must
unite for their common interest. It
feels that the race problem is funda-
mentally economic; that race pref
udice and misunderstanding get their
main support from jealousies and
fears engendered between the work
ers of both races in competition for
jobs. To meet this problem the Con-
gress is attempting to foster goodwill
and understanding between the races
by organizing Interracial Labor Com
mittees in the chief industrial cities
of the country 1t advocates the or
ganizing of the workers of both races
in the same unions and the education
of white and black workers so that
they can appreciate their common po-
sition as the exploited class in Amer
lea.
The Congress believes that the
proper kind of education will destroy
race prejudice. 1t is the purpose of
the Congress to use the Interracial
Labor Committees as educational
agencies. These Committees will ar
range meetings and conferences where
Negro workers and white workers
can meet on common terms and
frankly and honestly study and dis
cuss the various problems affecting
their daily lives. These committees
will be of more vital interest to the
Negro than the Interracial Commit
tees in the various centers function
ing under the Commission for Inter
racial Cooperation because the for
mer are concerned with that field in
race relations from which the race
problem energies.

SOUTH COLORADO
MINERS THREATEN
STRIKE IN AUTUMN
United Mine Workers.
and I.W.W. Show Unity

DENVER, Sept. Faced with the
probability Of a strike in the Colorado
coal fields this autumn, the coal
bosses are uneasily watching the
signs Of a growing agreement among
the leaders of the Industrial Workers
of the World and the United Mine
Workers of America, a keystone
union of the American Federation of
Labor The two organizations have
a consistent policy of hostility but
the conditions in the Colorado fields
is bringing many of the miners
across to the militant position Of the
I. W. W. This is especially true of
the rank and file and an increasing
spirit of unity is visible between the
members of the two organizations.
The I. w. w. miners are now in
session at Aguliar where they are
mapping out their demands for higher
wages, five day week and weight
checking Earl Hoage, president Of
the Colorado Federation of Labor, has
stated that while his federation is OPP
posed to the militant methods of the
l. w. w, he is heartily in favor of
the miners demands. John Gross,
secretary of the U. NJ. W. A., will
speak at Aguilar, and indications are
that the miners union is planning to
get into the fight in the Colorado dis
trict A drive for membership will
be begun by the United Mine Work
ers at their parade in Aguilar on
Labor Day.
According to tentative demands
sketched by Kristen Svanum, general
organizer of the l. w. w. in Butte,
Montana, his organization is planning
to demand a wage of $775. The
present wages in southern Colorado
are from 1928 to $5.52 as compared
with S7.75 in the neighboring state
of Wyoming.

Three Held for Killing
Youth to Get Insurance

Two frightened and sallow Young
men, hardly more than boys, and the
middle aged man involved in their
confession, were arraigned today in
Brooklyn Homicide Court, charged
with the murder of Benjamin Gold
stein, %, of 892 Eagle Ave-, the
Bronx. The two boys accuse the older
man of having instigated the murder
in order that he might collect $4,000
insurance, of which he was benefici-
airy.
The man is Joseph Lefkowitz, AZ,
of -13 Clinton ST., a cloak and suit

cludes means for the education of the
Negro workers along trade union and
industrial lines, Recently the New
York Council of the Congress organ
lied a class in problems of Race and
Imperialism" Forty students en-
rolled the first week. This course
which will run from July 10 to Sep

excellent chance to see beneath the
surface of historical events.
The Philadelphia Council of the
Congress is conducting a weekly for
UNI Sunday afternoons at which time
problems affecting Negro workers
are studied and discussed. The
Council held conference on the flood
Sunday July 81 at which time prob
lens of the Negro workers and ten
ant farmers of the flood area were
discussed. Other conferences are
planned in order to acquaint the pub
lie of Philadelphia with the conditions
OF Negro workers in the South. In
Pittsburg, New York, Youngstown
and other places local Councils hold
mass meetings occasionally on ques-
lions of immediate and vital interest
to the race.
Such activities and beliefs as out
lined above are labelled by the con-
sentative white press as bolshevistic.
Any Negro with modicum of intelli-
gence will never be fooled by such
bunk. The New Negro wants free

for it,

By THOMAS L. DABNEY.

Such articles as those appearing in
the Philadelphia Inquirer, the New
York Herald-Tribune, and other
papers are calculated to do the Negro
much harm. Such papers cannot be
depended upon to encourage and to
support any ~- movement for the
emancipation of the Negro masses.
Because Negroes do not understand
this fact they are likely to fall for
the cheap counter propaganda Of the
kept press. The Negro would not be
SO easily fooled, however, il he could
recall the fact that the same bogus
cry was raised with respect to alleged
German propaganda among Ameri-
can Negc0e5 during the world war.
Criminals ar, always afraid of being
arrested because they know this is
what they deserve. Hence whites
who know they are guilty of oppress-
ing and exploiting the Negro are a
little afraid lest the awakened Negro
make some attempt to free himself -
a thing that is to be expected on the
part of any intelligent oppressed
people.
Environment Turns Negroes Red.
The American Negro Labor Con-
gress, which was the target of attack
by these newspapers is merely an
other nationwide organization for
Negro emancipation. 1t is led by in
.telligent new Negroes who do not
have to go to Moscow in order to
realize that the Negro is being OPP
pressed and exploited. The light
from the funeral pyrc and the smoke
from burning Negroes IN Georgia and
Alabama can be seen better from At
lanta or Mobile than from Moscow
Radicalism among American Negroes
is the product of the Negroes daily
environment. Neither books nor
theories no matter of what origin are
as convincing as the daily insult, OPP
preston, exploitation, and lynching
of American Negroes. Unless the
editors of our big dailies are hope
lessly ignorant they know these facts.
The American Negro Labor Con-
gress was organized to fight for the
rights of Negroes and protect them
from the oppression and exploitation
to which they are subjected daily

UniOnizatiOn of Negro
Progresses as Leaders
Change Point of View

Along with the new interest mani
tested by certain intelligent white la
Dor groups in the unionization of Ne
gro workers, there is a noticeable
change on the part of a few Negro
leaders in regards to the question of
organizing Negro workers. On the
part of liberal whites this interest is
evidenced by the publication of ar
ticles recently dealing with organic
ing problems of Negro groups in
Philadelphia and elsewhere in Labor
Age, the National Labor Monthly of
New York, articles on the Pullman
Porter's Union and the Dining Car
Union in the Locomotive Engineers
Journal of Cleveland, Ohio and the
Conference on Negro Labor held May
10Th and Goth at Brookwood Labor
College, Katonah, New York.
In several industrial centers such
as New York, Philadelphia and Chi
cago attempts are being made to or
ganize Negro workers. In view of
these organizing efforts, the state
ments made recently by several lead
ing Negroes on the question of Negro
labor and the Trade Union Move
ment come at most opportune time,
The most significant thing, however,
is the fact that most of these Negro
leaders advocate the alignment of Ne
gro workers with the labor movement.

Discover Negro Tribe
In Caucasus Mountains

MOSCOW, Sept. An expedition
sent out by the Moscow University
into the Caucasus has discovered
settlements of Negroes in the Kodorsk
district. Despite partial assimilation
of the local Caucasian tribes, the
Negroes are said to have retained
original language and customs. 1t is
believed that they were brought cen
turtles ago to the Black Sea coast
from Africa by Europeans. Their
language is a mixture of African and
Caucasian dialects,
Prior to the Bolshevik revolution
the inhabitants of Avkhasia, where
these Negro settlements were found,
was hostile. Since the revolution the
attitude of the Caucasian tribes has
become friendly.

JOINT DEFENSE COMMITTEE ISSUES CALL TO ALL

To all members of the Workmen
Circle branches and workers clubs:
The Joint Defense committee is
proud of your work in the needle
trades fight. The fact that you have
called special conferences to mobilize
your members for the Joint Defense
Committee, adopted resolutions of
protest against the union betrayers,
called upon your members to fight to
save the unions, shows clearly that
you understand the Importance of the
present struggle, in the needle trades.
Our defense against the Sigman,
McGrady clique upon the unions has
thus far been unsuccessful. But the
job has not been completed yet We
must now, more than ever, develop
our resistance against the betrayers,
and commence the work of reorganiz-
ing those shops which have been lost
to the union.
The Joint Defense Committee gets

know that up till now you have been
giving us your full support, and re-
lying upon this support, we arranged
the Starlight Park JambOree. Rain
however, forced the postpOnement of
the affair and caused heavy losses
to the committee. We were forced to
postpone the affair to next Saturday,
and we appeal to you to come en- mass

Saturday. If you have already made
arrangements to go out of town we
call on you to postpone it till Sun

country began yesterday.
From now on it will be possible to
send packages from New York to
San Francisco in 81 hours; from New
York to Chicago in hours and from
New York to Dallas, Texas, in 20
hours. Air connections can also be
made with many other cities all over
the country.
For the first time the American
Railway Express began sending pack
ages by air as a result of a contract
entered into with the National Air

At the same time the United States
government went out of the air mail
carrying business, the National Air
Transport having taken over the
Eastern division from New York to
Chicago, this being the last leg of
the cross-country route to pass from
government to private operations.
The N. A. T. is now carrying ex-
press matters as well as mail and
is operating on a regular schedule.

On the contrary, he again hurts

Tense, the Emergency Sacco and Van

other agencies of the militant work

moment when the persecution against
the workers is increasing in America,
when the international Labor Defense
is called upon to defend twenty min

broken-up Sacco-Vanzetti meeting,

for the families of humble working
class prisoners at Passaic and
throughout the country, Mr.. Felicani,
in collaboration with his yellow So
cialist allies, attempts to involve US
in a money scandal No doubt he
hopes by this to accomplish two ends;
On the one hand to cover up the ig-
noble role played by himself and
others in sabotaging the protest
movement of the masses and, on the
other hand, to belittle and discredit
the militants who had no illusions
about capitalist justice, the COVER
nor's commission or any other agency
of the eXecutioners machine.
Heritage of Masses.
The honest and class-conscious
workers will know how to judge these
indicative and treacherous actions
and will put the proper estimate upon
them. For our part we will not be
turned aside from our tasks and our
duties. We will continue as in the
past to strive with all our power to
build and unity the movement for
the defense of all the prosecuted
working class victims of capitalist
justice.
The great tradition and heritage of
Sacco and Vanzetti is not the private
property of any little clique. 1t be-
longs to the toiling masses of the
world and above all to the militant
vanguard who fought in their behalf
to the last ditch without any illusions.
The example of Sacco and Vanzetti
is of the greatest forces for the in
spiration and regeneration of the la
Dor movement of America and the
militant workers would be failing in
their duty if they did not reject with
scorn and contempt any efforts of a
spiteful and insignificant clique to
appropriate them as private property.

have won a pay increase of from 81
to SIS a week, in their new three
year wage agreement.
According to Joseph N. Weber,
president of the Federation, musicians
throughout the United States have
been securing increases of from 5 per
cent to Is per cent, but in other cities
the wage is about 10 per cent lower
than in Chicago and New York.
The New York wage will now be

|. |. D. answers FELICANl SANDER
SOCIALISTS CURBED MASS PROTEST

James P. Cannon, secretary of the
International Labor Defense issued a
statement yesterday denouncing the
vague charges of misrepresentation
of funds" issued by Aldino Felicani
of the Boston Defense Committee as
Islander raised as a means of
demoraIzing and breaking up the
protest movement and concentrating
all activities into the narrow financial
legal groove of Mr. Fellicani's COM
mittee."
Cannon's statement follows in full;
Curb Mass Movement.
During the long fight to save the
lives of Sacco and Vanzetti the most
important and decisive method Of
struggle was the organization of the
protest movement of the masses. The
class-conscious workers to whom the
International Labor Defense belongs
understood this and put the center of
gravity on such activities. The BOs-
ton Committee, of which Mr.. Fell
CAM was the treasurer. influenced
and dominated in it's policy by the
Socialists, the liberals, labor takers
and predatory lawyers, opposed this
line of action and wanted to concen-
trate on the raising of money for
these lawyers. Not only did they fol-
low this policy but they opposed in
every way possible the activities of
the militant workers who were trying
to organize the protest movement.
Everything that was done to develop
this movement was not only done
without the help of the Boston Com
mittee but in spite of their opposi-
ton and sabotage.
The money Islander which has been
refuted and proven groundless many
times before was raised as a means
of demoralizing and breaking up the
protest movement and concentrating
all activities into the narrow financial
and legal groove of Mr.. Fellicani's
committee. They acted as though
they had patent right upon the
great issue of the martyrdom of Sacco
and Vanzetti and tried to push aside
the honest and militant workers They
wanted to assign to the militants the
role of contributing money for the
lawyers and keeping their mouths
shut otherwise The money SANDER is
revived now with the same kind of
obiect-to hamper and cripple the
movement for labor defense in gen
eral and to prevent the Harvesting
of the great energies and militancy
of the movement which supported
Sacco and Vanzetti to the fight for
the other class-war prisoners.
To cripple this movement is the
wish Of every reactionary and faker
in America. And the action of Mr..
Felicani in rushing into the capitalist
press with his ISLANDERS against the
militant workers, while the ashes of
our martyred brothers were still hot
can be at best only characterized as
that of tool of the reactionaries and
traitors.
The information that his accusa-
tons were framed-up in the local Of
flee Of the socialist party which was
one of the chief sabotagers of the
movement in New York City is not
without significance in this connec-
ton. 1t is surprisingly strange that
Mr.. Felicani directs all his criticisms
and venom against the militants who
