Common Cause
for Black and
White Worker

OF the 1000 lynchings, in almost
every instance, some economic cause
stands in the background, even when
the foreground is occupied by sex
scare or the crime DOGGY: The papers
will say "a Negro was lynched for
numbering white man." but will not
explain that the "white man" in ques-
ton was really a slave-driver, who
was attempting to whip or MAIN the
Negro for demanding more pay and
for refusing to work; or maybe the
murder" occurred when the Negro
was attempting to defend his home or
to conduct his business in a place
from which his white rivals were
seeking to GUST him. The papers only
mention the murder" They begin
in the middle, at the closing scene
Of the drama. All the economic pre-
ambles and prologues are entirely
ignored. Most Of the "race riots"
when investigated, turn out to have
nothing to do with race as such, but
to be efforts to beat the colored work.
ing masses back into the "place"
from which they are naturally seek
ing to emerge.
The only logic of the whole matter
is: That white and black workers
should defend each other-in both
life and wages-in personal rights
and in economic status.

history of the American labor move

struggle is inseparably bound up
with the history of the entire Ameri-

The battles of the miners against

written in red upon the pages of the
history of the American class strug-
gle. This union has been the pride
of militant labor and in spite of the
treacherous policy of the Gompers
leadership for the past decades has
been able to hold high the flag of the
class struggle of militancy, of viril-

1t is for that reason that the big

 The Chicago Maroons. travelling to Bloomington, Ind, to play Indiana, have one of the few strong defensive linOlps in the conference and In- diana, always potential champion, should receive plenty Of opposition.
