SMITH MANAGERS WOULD
MAKE RELIGION CHIEF ISSUE
Hope TO Blind People to Real Issue
of Prohibition by Raising
False Issue
EXPECT TO SILENCE CHURCH
Campaign Against Activity of the
Church Grows in Intensity

Governor Smiths wet friends have
complained bitterly that the religious is
sue has been injected into this campaign.
Gross Misrepresentation have been made
of the attitude of the various denomina-
tional church bodies toward the Cover
nor's candidacy.
There has not been one syllable ut
tered in any resolution adopted by any
of the church bodies opposing Governor
Smith on religious grounds The
churches without exception have gone
on record against the New York Cover
nor because of his pronounced opposition
TO the National Prohibition policy and
because of his past wet record. On the
other hand, Governor Smiths friends
themselves have had great deal to say
about the religious issue. Senator Rob-
inSen, his running mate, has gone all over
the southland, preaching against "intol~
erance." -,
Wherever the issue has been raised It
has been raised by Governor Smiths
friends, and now according to the we'll
known political writer. Lawrence Sulli-
van, of the International News Service
staff, the Democratic campaign managers
have decided to stress religion as the
chief issue.
In story carrying a New York date
line of October 10, Mr.. Sullivan says,
Convinced that their attack on religious
bigotry is netting Smith votes in virtually
every state, the Democratic campaign
managers have decided upon an intenS--
dcation of that line of campaign right up
TO election day.
Friends of prohibition must not permit
themselves TO be blinded by this smoke
screen. The dominant issue in this cam
pa-gn is prohibition, mace such by Gov
ernor Smith himself The Governor saw
fit after he had received the nomination
TO repudiate his party's platform on pro-
hibition and substituted one OF his own
making. He hurled challenge at the
people Of this nation, who believe in the
National Prohibition policy and the chal-
lenge has been accepted. After Cover
nor Smith had announced his own plat
form on prohibition which ne substituted
for the Democratic party platform, 1t was
conceded by both vets and drys that tbs
presidential election would be in reality a
referendum on prohibition. The issue
has not changed and any attempt by the
Governors friends TO becloud the issue
10y injecting the so-Called religious issue
into the campaign must not be permitted
TO succeed. 1t is false issue, and has
mo rightful place in the campaign and
should be ignored
We call upon the friends of prohibition
TO refuse TO be misled, to keep steadily
before their eyes and in their minds the
dominant issue. Prohibition. Governor
Smiths election would mean the begin
ming Of the return TO old saloon days for
the United States.

DO the Smithites WHO are now &C.
nounc ng Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie
brandt, think that this campaign is q
Sunday School picnic? When Governor
Smith declared war on prohibition he
made this a fighting campaign and the
Clrys know how to fight, and with honor
TO their cause.

NEGRO striker
TO SPEAK AT NY
RELIEF Meeting
Bosses Import $4,000
from South

Thousands of Negroes are the worst
sufferers under the terrible regime of
oppression and terrorism which reigns
in the mining regions of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Colorado, according
to Charles w. Fulp, chairman of a
committee of miners now in New
York to raise funds to feed the starv-
ing families and children of the strik-
ing miners.
Fulp is a Negro, while the other
members of this committees are an
italian, a Slovak and Croatian. In
Fulp's district in Pennsylvania he has
charge of the relief of some $4,000
miners families. For Is years he
has been mining coal in the soft coal
fields of Pennsylvania. He is a mem
Der of the United Mine Workers
Union and for several years was re-
cording secretary and then president
of Local 2012.
Mass Meeting Here.
Fulp will be the principal speaker
at mass meeting in support of the
er Zion Community House, Isl West
136th st. Other speakers will be:
Rev. VIM. Lloyd Innes of the st.
James Presbyterian Church, Mrs. W.
j. Burroughs Of the Teachers Union,
Juliet Stewart Poyntzof of the Inter-
national Labor Defense, George Mo-
ran, another striking miner, and Rich
ard B. Moore, of the American Negro
Labor Congress.
Misery Unprecedented.
"Never have seen such misery and
oppression in the mining fields, and
never have there been so many Ne
groes affected" Fulp said. "Of the
miners involved in Pennsylvania, fully
two-thirds are Negroes and they are
up against a most desperate and ter
rible situation. Many of them have
had their belongings dumped into the
street by armed mine guards who
eyicted them from company houses in
freezing weather. Starvation stalks
among them.
"They are victims also of the race
hatred which the mine-owners have
stirred up against them. At the
Pittsburgh Coal Company, Mine No
9, the coal police have repeatedly in
.-.cited white strike-breakers to attack
Negro strikers.
100 Negroes Jailed.
"The coal police make brutal
sport of driving their cars among Ne
gro strikers. And while they have
not spared white miners, certainly
Negro miners have been the worst
sufferers under their brutal violence
and terrorism. Two weeks ago over
100 Negro strikers were rounded up
and herded into Jail, where they are
still held"
Despite their terrible suffering, the
Negro miners are holding out grimly
in the bitter struggle for living
wage and human conditions and exis-
tence, the American Negro Congress
reports. Even the Negroes recently
imported from the South under false
pretenses by the mine-owners and put
to work as strike breakers are join
ing the strikers as soon as they learn
the truth and can escape from the
mines, where they are held in virtua
slavery under the guns of armed
mine guards, the labor congress says
Of some $4,000 Negroes imported from
the South, less than 5000 are now il
the mines, according to this organiza
ton.
