To Organize the Textile Workers

The convention of textile mill committees.
mill and union delegates now being held IN
New York City for the purpose OF launch
ing new national textile workers organlza-
ton will unquestionably go down in history
as a landmark in the development OF the
militant labor movement in America.
It's historical timeliness is justification
for its existence Only at this moment, after
the experience of the past few years, could
such a convention prove successful 1t was
essential that the workers in many OF the
biggest centers become steeled in the fight
against the employers, the government and
the agents of the bosses at the head OF the
United Textile Workers Union Without the
experience of the struggles in Paterson
Passaic and New Bedford this conference
would never have been possible.
1t is indeed tribute to the tremendous
sweep of the movement for new national
textile organization that will set as its task
the organization of the hundreds of thou
sands of mill slaves of the United States that
this first convention has representation from
more than so cities, while the last convention
of the United Textile Workers. the corrupt
American Federation of Labor organization,
had delegates representing but AZ cities, some
of them having on fictitious organizations.
Even though launched under favorable aus
pieces no one should imagine for a moment
that the task before the new organization is
an easy one In an organizational drive
every sinch of ground will have to be won
against tremendous odds-against the COM
bined resistance of the mill owners and their
political agents in control of local and state
governments, as well as the officials of the
reactionary organization.
1t is the duty of every militant worker to
support to the utmost the new national Or
CARNATIONS in various industries that are be-
ing created in the United States as a reflex
of the increasing determination of the work
ing class to resist the assaults of the en-
ployers upon the workers standards of liv

Hoover Has Proved His Fitness
tn BOrah
to BOrah

William E. Borah, republican chairman of
the senate foreign relations committee, en-
Enthusiastically endorses the candidacy of Her
bert Hoover for president of the United
States This is as it should be- 1t is emf
nently fitting that Borah, who started his
public career in an attempt to become the
executioner of militant leaders of the work
ing class, Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone,
should support Hoover, one of the vilest muir
derers of the working class the world has
ever seen. Mr.. Borah asserts that Mr..
Hoover has proved his fitness.
If Mr.. Borah means that Hoover has sue
ceeded where he failed he is right. Where
Borah only attempted, through acting as
prosecutor in frame-up, to murder three
American labor leaders, Herbert Hoover has
succeeded in leaving his bloody imprint upon
the working class of many nations and many
climes. The novice abjectly bows before the
master
Hoover, while pretending to furnish food
supplies to the victims of the world war,
used his position to aid the bloody monster
Horthy overthrow the Bolshevik government
of Hungary and begin that systematic ex-
termination of the working class that RACES
to this very day. Hoover had a hand in help
ing to establish those other twin bells for
the working class-Poland and Roumania-
where piles of corpses are monuments to his
Fitness" to serve as an imperialist butcher.
Truly a mighty example of fitness and
one calculated to incite the admiration of
Borah, who tried to hang three workers and
failed.
Thus we see again that so-called liberals
line up with the most vicious elements of OPP
preston when a crisis approaches. Hoover
symbolizes better than any public person to-
day the malignant character of big capital,
while Borah personifies the class corruption
and vacation of the labor-hating small in
dustrialists who hope to get their share of
plumber out of the war program of the
United States government.
Hoover's conception of government is
avowedly imperialist. Government does not
exist for the benefit Of the people who in

shaving the workers and farmers to a few

nomination for the presidency was to CAPT.
talize the calamity that befel the poor south
ern cotton growers in the Mississippi flood
area in behalf of the mortgage bankers of
New Orleans, who are part of the Wall Street
combine. Under pretext of relieving the
suffering of the population this man Hoover,
whom Borah proclains as eminently fit to
be president, took advantage of the pitiful
plight of the victims and bound them to the
bankers, the loan mongerss and mortgage
brokers.
The selection of such man as candidate
of the political party that will most certainly
carry the election is a warning signal to the
working class. 1t means that for the next
four years there will head the government
of Wall Street one who is an INSCRIPTIONS
adept at wreaking misery and devastation
upon whole populations for the aggrandize-
ment of imperialism. Just such man is re-
quired to carry out the present policies of
the United States ruling class His nomina-
ton is part of the war preparations of the
Wall Street bandits
Let no one imagine, however, that the re-
publican party candidates alone are assas-
sins of the working class. The same indct-
ment may be drawn against the democratic
party, the party of the imperialist war
monger, Woodrow Wilson, who hurled the
workers of this country into the last war in
order to protect the investments in Europe
of the House of Morgan. Likewise the So
cialist party is potential murderer of the
working class. The only reason Berger, Hill
quit and Thomas have not committed the
crimes of their European comrades, Scheide-
mann, Ebert, Noske Mueller, Henderson and
Macdonald Especially the latter's stand on
India) is because they have not had the op-
portunity. When the Hoovers and Borahs
are no longer able to function the socialists
hope to get their chance.
Against the assassins of the working class
there stands but one party in this campaign
defending always the elementary interests
of the working class and the farmers; the
Party that realizes that the principal ques-
ton before the workers of the whole world
is the danger of another imperialist war
Only the Workers Communist Party has a
revolutionary program against Imperialism.
Communism alone can defeat the Hoovers,
the Borahs and the class they represent.

document by a political party in this
country in the interests of the Ne
gro workers. The Negro delegates
were active participants in the con-
vention, and were nominated to Of
flee on various state tickets.
Lovett Fort Whitman was named
for comptroller of the state of New
York; Richard B. Moore for con-
gress from the 21st congressional
district in Harlem; Edward Welsh
for assemblyman in the same dis
trict. Other Negroes are represent
ing the Party on its working class
program in other states.
The true test of the honesty and
sincerity of a political party is what
it does, not merely what it pro-
fesses, and in this respect the Work
ers (Communist) Party openly lives
up to it's program as being the
vanguard of the entire working
class, irrespective of race, color, or
creed.
The following are some of the de-
mands, embodied in the program of
the party:
The abolition of race discrimina-
ton, segregation of Negroes, Jim
Grow laws, laws which disfranchise
Negroes, which forbid intermar-
riage, which prevent Negro chill
dren from attending public schools.
They demand federal law against
lynching, equal opportunity for Ne
groes and equal pay, abolition of all
restrictions in trade unions against
Negro membership, and abolition of
the convict lease system and the
chain gang, and of discriminatory
practices in courts.
Fight Against Imperialism.
The Communists are the only ones
who oppose and struggle against
Imperialism, which means the en-
slavement of the colonial peoples
in China, India, Africa, Latin Amer
lea, and other parts of the world
They openly adopt methods to pre-
vent capitalists of their own coun-
tries from carrying out their OPP
pressive schemes to rob the So
called backward" peoples of their

freedom. 1t was the Communists of
France, led by Doriot, who con-
Quoted a heroic struggle against the
French imperialist war on the Riff
fian tribes in Morocco. Doriot and
hundreds of French workers were
arrested and imprisoned. The same
thing recently happened here in
America. On July 3, 1928, a group
of Communists demonstrated in ar
anti-imperialist demonstration in
Wall St., the center of the banking
interests of America. The demon
strators carried banners carrying
such slogans as Freedom for Black
Haiti and Liberia" Withdraw the
Marines From Nicaragua and
China" Liberty for the PHILIPPINES,
Porto Rico and Cuba" These ban
ners were torn down by the Tam
many Hall police and the workers
were arrested and carried before a
capitalist judge who did the bidding
of his political masters by SEN
fencing them to Jail.
Daily" Leads Fight.
Among the leaders was the editor
of the Daily Worker. This paper,
unlike the capitalist sheets, is al
ways on the side of the Negroes, for
it realizes that the capitalist oppres-
sors are always out to SANDER the
Negro race in order to keep them
on servile and degraded position.
This is how the Communists show
their real leadership by actively par
ticipating in the everyday strug.
giles Of the workers and the OPP
pressed colonial masses, while the
republicans, democrats and social
lists oppose them and do all in their
power to rob and exploit the work
ing class.
Negro workers must wake up and
realize that their place is with the
Communists-the friends and cham
pions of their race, and not with the
republicans and democrats, who OPP
press the workers, black as we'll as
white in America. Every honest
Negro who is devoted to the uplift
of his race and class, and desires the
freedom of his people at home and
abroad, should join the Workers
(Communist) Party which unites the
workers and poor farmers Of all
races and colors to fight against the
capitalists-imperialists.

A Taste of i. S. Democracy
By Fred Ellis

Just recently in Martins Ferry,
where free speech is prohibited by
the Flaw" of the Steel Trust, six
men were arrested for an attempt
TO hold Sacco-Vanzetti memorial
meeting. These men are charged
with unlawful. assemblage. This
breaking up of the meeting is a re-
suit of pressure on the authorities
by the U. S. Steel Corporation which
has mills in Martins Ferry. The
w. C. T. U. and the Junior Mechan-
les, an organization of the bosses,
sent resolutions to the police COM
nlending them on their fine work in
breaking up the meetings of the
"reds" This attack was also against
constitutional rights" Where are
rights learned in school?
Workers to Demand Final Freedom.
Truly, Prosecutor Waddell of Bel
mont County spoke the truth, Con-
stitutional rights are merely things
taught in schools. The teachers of
the county may have to answer some
very awkward questions when the
miners children ask about rights of
citizens to assemble and speak. Per-
haps the children of the miners will
be able TO teach the teachers some
thing about this land of freedom
and democracy. Traditions chains
cannot hold forever. The young
miners will not only learn this and
make economic demands, but will
demand political change in govern
ment. A government to direct the
affairs of the workers and farmers
of this country, not for the profit
of few, but for the welfare of all.

cipate themselves from the yoke of
wage slavery.
Labor Misleaders.
In this dirty game of "divide and
rule" the bosses are ably assisted
by such lackeys as William Green,
Matt Vol, John Lewis, Frank Nor
rison, who, by their narrow craft
policy and Negotiating attitude,
keep Negro workers out of the
unions, thus leaving them to be
used as scabs against their white
brothers.
The Communists, on the other
hand, fight vigilantly against this
shameful practice, and demand adj
mission of Negro workers into the
ranks of organized labor on an
equal basis with the whites.
A Negro miner named William
Boyce was elected vice-president of
the newly organized mine union at
Pittsburgh. This is the first time in
the history of the labor movement
in America that Negro has been
elected to such an office, which has
jurisdiction over hundreds of thou
sands of both white and Negro min
ers. This is an indication of new
trend in the left wing labor move
ment.
Champions of Freedom.
The Communist Party is the only
political organization in the United
States which champions the cause
of the IL million Negroes, the most
exploited section of the American
working class. Unlike all other par
ties, republicans, democrats and
socialists, the Communists actually
engage in a genuine struggle tc
emancipate the Negro workers from
their present condition of destitutior
and degradation.
The Party Platform.
The Workers (Communist) Party
at its National Nominating Conven-
ton, not only had the largest dele
cation of Negro workers assembled
on such an occasion in the history
of America, but drew up and adopted
a plank on the Negro question which
is the most far-reaching and historic

treachery and police brutality. All
sections have gotten extreme Gus
tice" from the courts. Belmont
County has had more than its share
of this capitalist justice, Lewis
treachery and police brutality. In
other sections men received such
treatment" but in Belmont County
women and children were as mer-
cilessly handled as the men. The
failing of the fifty-one women of
Lansing is typical of the treatment
received by the miners wives and
children.
Hypocritical Good Will.
A few days before the treatment
of the Lansing women the capital
list press publicly announced that
Governor Donahey was sending his
messengers of good will" to East
ern Ohio to feed the starving ba-
lies. Instead, the miners saw ma
tional guardsmen, armed with guns,
ammunition and gas bombs The
messengers" were not long in Bel
mcnt County before the miners
wives and children got the first
taste of the governors good will.
Women and children, peacefully
picketing the Mutton Hollow mine,
were gased by the bombs of the
guardsmen and several were bru-
tally beaten. This was not all. A
few days later fifty-one women and
children were herded at the point
