Underweight--
No Jobs Open
For Negroes
By SCOTT NEARING.

Joe weighs 118 pounds. He is black.
When 1 talked to him he had been
standing in an employment office for
week waiting for work. Before
that he worked for one day as an
errand boy in place Of another lad
who was sick. But the sick boy came
back the next day and Joe returned
to the employment office.
"Not much demand for Negroes
these days." explained the manager
of the office. "There is feeling
around town that no Negro has
right to job while white man is
out of work.
Besides, Negroes are only hired
to do certain kinds of work.
'ETake Joe here as sample. He
weighs under 120 pounds. When we
get inquiries from factories and Of
flee buildings for Negroes they al
ways specify, around l6O or 1fO
pounds. The Negroes do the heavy
labor and they need heavy men. A
light fellow like Joe is no use on such
job. 1t doesn't even pay us to send
him out of the office.
"Some day We'll pick up job for
joe" the manager went on hopefully.
Messenger or errand boy or some
thing like that. 1t won't pay him
much. Jobs like that pay little enough
to white men and always less to Neg
roes. But it's the best he can expect
to do. Joe's handicapped. He's under
weight"

The Yellow Forward, Rev. Thomas and James Maurer

although he belongs to the
Republican Party, the Forward says
is not such bad fellow:
I'm pure trade union questions
Lewis is not any more conservative
than other American trade union
leaders. In any case, Lewis is an
energetic man and the majority of
the members of the union seem to
have confidence in him, since at all
conventions of the union and at all
referendums Lewis has been elected
with an enormous majority"
1t is hardly necessary to point out
the hypocrisy Of these lines. The
energy" and the "majorities' of the
Lewis machine are well known. Let
us get back to Moscow"
The editorial of the Forward con.
cludes as following:
Attacks Soviet Union.
"There is no doubt that the COM
munists have suddenly become ac-
tive in the miners districts, because
there it aia easier for then to incite
the workers, and meanwhile it will
be. possible to keep up the bluff be-
fore Moscow that the Communists
are active in the struggle of the
miners. And there is also no doubt
that among the progressive min
. ers, that have suddenly become
( the standard bearers of Communism
in America, there are good num-
Der Of Pinkerton detectives, that
are paid by the mine companies
for their revolutionary work"
This contemplate propaganda
against Moscow" which is "order-
ing" its "agents" in America to stil
up revolution" among the miners

kind of propaganda against the Soviet
Union, emanating either from thu

DAILY WORKER, therefore, has a
right to demand that you help get
advertisements for the paper.
The DAILY WORKER must reach

ers, and the steel towns where the
workers have no organization. The

for these workers. 1t helps to or

of propaganda is unanimously ac-
knowledged as "good socialist work"
by convention which so hypocriti-
cally demanded that Moscow" be
recognized! Mr.. Kellogg needs only
point out to the editorial of the For
ward of April s, 1928.
And this is how the good socialist
paper and the mouthpiece of Mr..
Thomas regards the struggle of the
miners to free themselves from the
corrupt and murderous Lewis machine
that has been the undoing of their
once powerful union and the source of
.heir misery and suffering. This
struggle, according to the SANDERS of
he yellow socialist sheet, is paid by
the companies and is led by Pinker-
ton detectives.
Could the agents of the Melons
themselves have concocted anything
more deyilish against the movement
that threatens to break their deadly
grip on the miners and their fam=
lies? -..-.--
Some Facts. ..-..
Mr.. Norman Thomas is a contribut-
ing editor to the liberal magazine,
The Nation. In the issue of that
magazine of April 25 there appeared
an article on the Pittsburgh Save
he Union" Conference. In that arti-
Gle we read that the delegation of
over HOO men represented "a ma
jority of the coal miners, organized
md unorganized, in North America" /"
There we also read that John l..
Lewis has been SO energetic" that
he has drawn for the past six months
S11,093 from the union treasury in
salaries and expenses, at time when
the miners are getting one dollar per
week from the union-"when they
get it," as the writer Of the Nation
adds. He also tells US that the Save
the Union Committee is headed by

Episcopal Sidelights

The House of Bishops, meeting
i'm the small ballroom of the
Willard, differs from most con-
vention assemblies in that each
bishop is seated at a small table.
which is usually Uttered with
pamphlets. mimeographed state
ments, books and newspapers.
The bishops attract, by far, the
biggest gallery of any body in the
convention. Rows of chairs at
the rear of the hall are con-
stantly filled, mostly with women
visitors.
They sit. these women, hour
after hour, listening to highly
technical discourses on ecclesias-
teal matters which no uninitiated
layman possibly could understand.
On one occasion, when a par
ticularly interesting phase of
prayer book revision was under
discussion, the soto voce con-
verSations between the bishops be-
came so loud that one of their
number arose and protested to
the presiding bishop.
There Is so much noise in
here he said, that the people
in back cannot hear what the
speaker is saying"
Up rose Bishop Thomas Cassidy,
of the diocese of Oklahoma.
They're not missing anything"
he assured his brother bishop.
Presiding Bishop John Gardner
Murray, although venerable in
appearance, has q quick, quaint
wit.
Presiding at a joint session Of
the bishops and deputies in the
d. A. r. Hall, Bishop Murray was
privately wondering how soon a
long winded and enthusiastic
speaker would continue to hold
the rostrum.

World Series Start
On October 18th

The world series of 1928 will
start on Thursday, Oct. 4, in the
park of the club winning the
American league championship.
Commissioner Lands announced
today. The date was chosen in
preference to Oct. 3 because of
the close races in both leagues,
and the necessity of handling vast
numbers of tickets on short no
tice.
The details of the impending
series were arranged at a meeting
of representatives of the contend

Lands. Tentative schedules were
drawn for st. Louis, New York,

LEAVITT GIVES
WATERWAY PLAN
HOOVER'S PART IN ADVAN-
cling ST. LAWRENCE WATER
WAY OUTLINED

SIDNEY, Sept. 15.-Addressing
an audience of $500 eastern Mon.
tana farmers and their families,
| Congressman Scott Leavitt in
speaking at the Richland county
fair outlined the value to Montana
of the proposed Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence waterway, and termed
Herbert Hoover its foremost adj
vocate.
Referring to the st. Lawrence
waterway. Mr.. Leavitt pointed out
that it's construction will allow
loading of Montana products for
export on ocean going vessels at
Duluth instead of New York, thus
bringing sea worthy ships 100
miles nearer wheat fields of the
treasure state and as a conse-
quence reduce the freight rate on
every bushel they produce by from
five to eight cents a bushel. In
contrast he showed that Hoover's
rival for the presidency has,
as governor of New York,
long been at the forefront of the
opposition which is seated at the
port of New York.
Tariff Aids Wheatgrowers
Turning to the tariff. the sec
ond district representative stated
that no duty can be effective to
the full extent of the rate when
the United States has a surplus of
the commodity for export. He
quoted import figures to show that
Canada sends much less wheat to
the United States under the pro-
tective tariff act of 1922 than she
did in previous years, when there
no duty on wheat. This was
to show that even though
the United States has exportable
of wheat. the tariff oper-
ates to preserve the domestic mar
kets to American producers. There
always a greater American de-
nand than supply of wheat with a
nigh protein quantity. with the re-
sult that Montana growers of this
receive effective tariff p~rotec-
ion upon the product of their
abor.

production in the companv's his
tory. factory officials announce
The number of cars produced this
month will be nearly as many as
were produced during the peak
months this Spring.
This high September production
follows consecutive months durine
which Oldsmobile has broken all
previous records. More Oldsmo.
biles were shipped in August 1928
than in any previous August. of.
ficials report, and on August 31st
all past records for a single days
shiDment were broken when go
Oldsmobiles left the factory.
Production, shipment and retail
sales from January list to date are
far in excess of any previous fig
ures for an entire year, the fac
tory announces.
III ldCt VI the maui III
August, the number of O1dsmobiles
manufactured and shipped was
materially below the number of
cars ordered by Oldsmobile deal
r The retail demand has con
tinued at such a high peak that
the stock of cars in the territory
decreased 25 per cent during the
month.
Oldsmobile officials report that
from the present demand and or
ders on hand it is highly probable
that full time production will con-
tinue well into the winter.
Word is now under way on the
four additional buildings, the con-
struction of which was announced
two weeks ago. 1t will be some
time, however, before they are
completely and fully equipped
with tools and machinery. Their
completion will materially in

SEASON OPEN;
MANY ENJOYING SPORT

Sunday, September 16, the gov.
eminent removed the ban on
shooting of both chickens and
ducks and scores of hunting par.
ties from this city left town in
the wee small hours for favorite
lakes, ponds or grain fields.
Hunters report that indications
point to unusually good prospects
for the aso this year, as game
is fairly plentiful. For several
weeks there has been a number of
ducks on neighboring sloughs and
ponds, while geese have been re-
ported.
The grouse season will perhaps
attract many local men, especially
if the weather is fair. Last year,
on account of the scarcity of young
birds, the season was closed by
the state fish and game depart
ment, and sportsmen are more
than anxious to get a shot at the
prairie chicken, sage hen and blue
grouse.
