tie and eomplacent character and the
asserting silence in which it is re-
ceived. Gravely and openly these
assertions are made and few care,
few protest, few answer. Has not
the time come when as a nation,
north and south, black and white, we
can stop this tragic fooling and de-
mand, not to be sure, everything that
all Negroes might wish, nor all that
some white people might prefer, but
a certain balance Of decency and
logic in the discussion of race? Can
we not, as a nation, assert that the
constitution is the law of the land
and that the 18th, 18th, 18th, and
18th amendments as well as the 18th
are still valid; that it is no crime for
a colored man to vote if he meets the
legal requirements; that it is not
crime to appoint a colored man to
office unless he is incompetent; and
if he is incompetent, the crime lies in
his incompetency and not in his col
or; that in this modern world of nee
essarily increasing human contact it
is inevitable that persons of different
race work together in private and in
public service; that this contact is
not wrong unless the persons are I'M
able to do their work properly or UNI
less their helpful cooperation is prov
en- impossible?
We are asking, therefore, in this
appeal, for a public reputation of
this campaign of racial hatred. ST.

worse than in matters of personal
character and religion. Will white

TEXT OF THE APPEAL
AN APPEAL TO AMERICA

The persons whose names are sign
ed beneath are alike in the fact that
we all have Negro slaves among our
ancestors. In other respects, we diff
fer widely; in descent, in dwelling
place, in age, and occupation; and,
to some extent, in our approach to
ward what is known as the Negro
problem.
More, especially, we differ in po-
litical thought and allegiance; some
of us are republicans by inheritance
and long custom; others are demo-
Gratis, by affiliation and party mem
bership; still others are socialists:
But all of us are at this moment
united in the solemn conviction that
in the presidential campaign Of 1928,
more than in previous campaigns
since the civil war, the American Ne
gro is being treated in a manner
which is unfair and discouraging.
We accuse the political leaders of
this campaign of permitting without
The monitor., 1928-11-02

candidates continue to remain silent?
viii the Church say nothing? Is
there in truth any issue in this cam
paign, either religious tolerance, liq-
uor, water power, tariff or farm re-
lief, that touches in weight the trans
cendent and fundamental question of
the open, loyal and unchallenged rec
ognition of the essential humanity OF
twelve million Americans who happen
to be dark-skinned?
The monitor., 1928-11-02

that the gradual disappearance of in
CAPABILITIES between racial groups and
the gradual softening of prejudice
and hatred, is a sign of advance and
not of retrogression and should be
hailed as such by all decent folk and
we think it monstrous to wage a po-
litical campaign in which the fading
and softening of racial animosity and
the increase of cooperation can be
held up to the ration as a fault and
not as a virtue. We do not believe
that the majority of the white people
whether north or south, believe in
the necessity or the truth of the as
serticns current in this campaign;
but we are astonished to gee the num-
Der of persons who are whipped to
silence in the presence of such obvi-
Gus and ancient political trickery.
You cannot set the requirements
of political honesty and intelligence
too high to gain our consent. We
nave absolutely no quarrel with
standards of ability and character
which will bring to public office in
America the very highest type of
public servant. We are more troub-
led over political dishonesty among
black folk than you are among white.
We are not seeking political domina-
ton. But, on the other hand, it is
too late for us to submit to political
slavery and we most earnestly pro-
test against the unchallenged assump-
ton that every Negro in America is
dishonest and Incompetent and that
color in itself is a crime.
1t is not so much the virulence of
the attack in this case. It is its SUBJ

"slandering the officials" Wharton
doing the dirty work, when Lorge
800 exonerated him. This was a
result of the activity of the Pro
gressive Group in the district cleo
tons in 1926. Since then, on a ma
tional scale, Wharton expelled H. G.
Price, Lodge 70, Seattle, and Tim
Buck, Lodge 235, Toronto, Canada,
for "Communistic activities" The
expulsion campaign is at its height
in Chicago, where the progressive
forces increased their vote in the
1927 district elections over the pre-
vious year and where it took the
vote cf Locals 126 and 1928, each
with clair own business agents, to
defeat the progressive candidates
for business agent, Weydert and
Waterworth. In order to remove
William Simons as delegate to the
Atlanta Convention from Lodge 1919
charges were placed against him
under Circular 1888, and all the sec
tions in the constitution dealing with
expulsion. Although a majority
voted to declare him guilty of being
a member of the Workers Commun-
list Party, they failed to get the
two-thirds necessary for expulsion;
the prosecution announced an appeal
to Wharton. VIM. Mauseth, Lodge
113, was expelled for distributing
the Progressive Statement to the
l. A. of M. Convention" in his
lodge. These expulsions in Chicago
were aimed to deprive the progress
sive forces of leadership in the COM
ing district election campaign in
District 8 early in December.
Grounds for Expulsion.
What are just grounds for expul-
sion? Circular 1873 banned member
ship in the organizations named.
But the Circular concluded with:
"On and after Oct. Is, 1925 no mera-
Der of the International Association
of Machinists can hold membership
in or utilization with any of the
aforementioned organizations and
continue his membership in our As
ISOLATION" Already here, by words
of Johnson, an attempt is made to
broaden membership to "affiliation
with" which can include anything
under the sun. Railroad workers
remember the Daugherty injunction
in 1922 which almost forbade strik-
ers to breathe. Is "affiliation with"
to be interpreted to mean that a
member may not speak to a member
of the Communist Party or of the
Trade Union Educational League?
Surely the membership of the l. A.
of M. would not stand for such
tyranny, for such interference in
their personal lives. Despite the
words of Johnston, Circular 1873 can
only be interpreted as barring
membership" in the organizations
named.

Demonstrators
AGAINST HOOVER
Get SIX MONTHS
Jail Sentence Is Sus-
pended

PALO ALTO, Cal, Dec. 4.-The
three young workers arrested here
when they staged a demonstration
as Herbert Hoover left on his trip
to enslave Latin America, were sem
fenced to six months suspended SEN
tencez and have appealed the case.
These three workers, V. V. Dart,
James Arneth and j. Jones, mem
bers of the Workers (Communist)
Party, pleaded not guilty. The
court tried its best to keep the pur-
pose of the demonstrators out of
the records, but did not succeed.
Banners bearing slogans, down
with Imperialism" were exhibited
in the court room. Each of the de-
PENDANTS took the stand and pointed
out that they had demonstrated for
the purpose of exposing the trip of
President-elect Hoover as definite
imperialist move, and as further
attempt to suppress and control
Latin America.
Austin Lewis was the attorney
for the defendants. The judge de-
clared, "You are three misguided
ignoramouses." Dart during the
world war spent several years in
Alcatraz military prison because he
refused to enter the army.

Markoff Will Direct
New Newark Branch
of Workers School

A. Markoff, instructor at the
Workers School of New York, will
be the director of the Newark
branch of the Workers School which
will open within a few weeks at SO
Mercer St., Newark, N. J.
In addition to directing the school,
Markoff will himself give two
classes, fundamentals Of Commu-
nism," and principles of Marxism."
This is the first time in the history
of the Newark labor movement that
an advanced course in Principles of
Marxism will be. offered.
Markoff, who has given both of
these courses in the Workers School
of New York City, is at present en-
gagged in preparing syllabus for
this class. In addition to this,
courses will be given in elementary
intermediate and advanced English,
American history and other related
subjects. All workers who are
anxious to train themselves for the
working class movement and for
more effective work in their organ
izations should register at once at
