Housing Vital Problem of Negro Workers

health and welfare of the people, it
would pass this bill forthwith. The
dreadful conditions among the
masses will be realized from the
pathetic fact that we have mothers
appearing in court with children
whose fingers and cheeks have been
eaten by rats because rapacious
landlords refuse to make repairs.
The issue which this legislature is
now called upon to decide, the issue
now squarely before it, is whether
the richest state of the richest coun-
try in the world cannot find enough
resources, cannot provide housing
code which will provide sufficient
light and air and which will compel
standards for the protection of the
health and lives of it's citizens.
"The landlords have raised the cry
of confiscation. 1t must be an
swered that millions of dollars of
slave property were confiscated in
order to abolish chattel slavery. But
the issue is not now confiscation.
We have not yet come to that again.
There is not single confiscatory
provision in this Dwellings Law
Bill which requires only the barest
minimum standards for health and
safety. AS matter of fact, this
bill does not begin to require what
is really necessary for the protec-
ton of the masses. Against this
false cry of confiscation, we raise
the true cry of murder, for the
lethal conditions under which the
masses of people are now compelled
to live amount to murder. To the
gentleman who quoted from the de-
dialogue, "Thou shalt not STEAL" we
reply, that there is another COM
mandment which is still more bind
ing, Thou shalt not kill"
~ ask this legislature not to be
overawed by this display of the
landlords who have packed this
hearing. The millions of the peo-
pie demand the passage of this law.
They are the fewer here for the rea-
son that even now at this hour they
are toiling and sweating and grind
ing to produce the profits and rents
which these oppressors squeeze out
of them. But these workers are
watching to see whether this legis-
lature will sacrifice the health and
lives of it's citizens to the greed of
oppressive profiteers. They will
judge and act accordingly"
The capitalist politicians of both
the republican and democratic par
ties killed this bill. The workers
and tenants should learn from this
that they must support the party of
their own class which alone can be
depended upon to fight for their
vital interests. This party is the
Workers (Communist) Party. Vote
Communist! Join the Workers
(Communist) Party!

Paris = Two Weeks After the
Kellogg Pact
Paris

The swindle of the Kellogg pact as an al
legged preventive of wars is emphasized by
the aircraft maneuvers at Paris less than
fortnight after the signing of the document
by various nations. The maneuvers at Paris
were, like all similar exhibitions, intensive
propaganda for ever greater ornaments.
British and French army staffs viewed
the performance and made observations
with view towards perfecting the often
sive and defensive ability of the French air
force 1t is particularly significant that a
mock airplane attack on Paris was managed
in such a way that had it been real it would
have completely destroyed most of the city
and the general staff itself The inevitable
conclusion to be drawn from the Paris per-
Torrance is the necessity for doubling and
trebling the air forces as we'll as the anti
aircraft forces. Let no one think for mo-
ment that such maneuvers before stats of
officers from other powers reveal to them
the real condition of the military forces, even
though they may have a joint entente
against other imperialist powers.
The presence of the British did, however
also emphasize the new Anglo-French en-
tente that first took the form of a naval
agreement between the Baldwin-Chamber-
lain tory government and the Poincare-
BRAND imperialist government
While the sham air fight was going on in
Paris the puppet president at Washington,
Cal Coolidge, and his antedulivian secretary
of state, Nervous Nelly" Kellogg, were still
trying to conceal their fury at the Anglo
French naval agreement which was consum-
mated in defiance of the naval arms policy of
the United States.
Within a short time we may expect SIM
liar sham battles off the coasts of the United
States which will reveal the fact that all the
sea coast cities may easily be destroyed, as
an excuse for our own jingoes to demand
ornaments that will surpass those of any
other nation.
This frenzied preparation for another i'm
perialist war, the logical inevitable result of
the contradictions generated on a world
scale, is the outstanding political problem of
the day, yet as far as the campaigns of the
democrats, republicans and socialists are con-
cerned, this fact is utterly ignored.
1t is only the Communists that face the
reality of the situation and wage a deter
mined struggle against the war-mongers.
All those workers and farmers of the United
States, who will be the victims of the next
world slaughter should rally to the support
of the candidates of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party and help wage a fight against
Imperialism and all its agents-the Herbert
Hoovers, the AL Smiths and the Norman
Thomases

Slum Conditions; Segregation

+ owned and controlled by all the
workers under the system of Com
munism, which alone can solve the
problem of housing, of labor, ETC.,
and guarantee a decent life for all
the masses.
In the present election campaign
the duty of the oppressed Negro
and white workers and tenants is
clear. 1t is to support whole
heartedly the only party which
fights for a program of housing and
labor in the interests of the masses,
the Workers (Communist) Party.
The program of the Workers
/ (Communist) Party on housing de-
mands:
1. Abolition of all laws which re-
suit in segregation of Negroes.
Abolition of all Jim Crow laws. The
law shall forbid all discrimination
against Negroes in selling or rent
ing houses.
2. Municipal fixing of low rents
for workers. Rent for wage earn
ers should not amount to more than
10 per cent of their wages.
8. Municipality built houses should
be rented to the workers without
profit.
a. Immediate enactment of state
| laws providing for abolition of the
right of eviction by landlords
against wage Garner tenants.
5. Compulsory repair by the land
lords of all working class homes in
bad condition.
6. Immediate establishment by
municipalities of homes to shelter
the unemployed.
7. Municipal aid to workers
building cooperatives.
Editors note):
This article by the candidate of
our Party for congress in the 21st
congressional district exposes the
terrible housing conditions existing
in the Jim Grow quarters where Ne
gro workers are forced to live by
the vicious racial caste system
which capitalist society maintains.
Similar conditions are to be found
in all working class districts.
In prosperous" America the
workers, black and white, are forced
to live in slums and novels, but in
Soviet Russia, where the workers
rule, the best houses are occupied
by workers and "the building of
homes for workers is an essential
part of the whole constructive pro-
gram of the Soviet government
which spends millions yearly to
erect houses for wage earners."
The oppressive nature of the cap
italist government of America is
clearly to be seen in the callous dis
regard of the lives of the masses of
the people by the capitalist politi-
clans who killed the Dwellings Law
Bill, and other such measures. The
fight against this capitalist ex-
ploitation and degradation of the
workers is and must be carried on
against the bitter opposition of both
republican and democratic parties.
This was brought into bold view in
the struggle over the Dwellings Law
Bill. One of the most militant fight
ers for the protection of the tenants
and workers in that struggle was
the candidate of our Party, Richard
at all the hearings at Albany. We
B. Moore, who as president of the
Harlem Tenants League, appeared
quote in part from one of his
speeches exposing before the legis-
lature the oppressive housing condi-
tions.
"If the legislature were CONVEX
SAINT with the terrible housing con-
ditions now existing, and if it were
moved by considerations for the

Labor Laws Are in
Interest of Bosses

(By a Worker Correspondent
Labor laws are supposed to be
in the interests of the workers. So
say the state and federal authori-
ties. Well, man, they are on paper,
of course.
In the construction of new build
ings hoists are used for carrying up
materials. No people are allowed
to ride on them. Recently saw
men riding on them because they
wanted to save time. In one place
the boss also saw this but as usual
didn't give a damn.
Workers, see that the safety laws
are enforced. If we do not protect
our lives, who will? 1t is up to us.

are the tragic results. When mea-
sures are introduced for the protec-
ton of tenants or for the improve
ment of housing conditions, such as
the extension of the Emergency
Rent Laws, and the Dwellings Law
Bill which were brought before the
New York legislature this year, it
is seen that black and white land
lords unite in the fight to defeat
them. They line up together on the
basis of their class interests as CAPT
talists to kill laws which would help
to abolish fire-traps and disease
breeding slums, laws which would
improve in some slight measure the
standards of safety and health in
the homes of the masses. They
ought as one to wipe from the sta
tute books any laws which afford
tenants and workers the slightest
legal basis for a fight against "un-
just, unreasonable and oppressive
rents" The Negro landlords and
agents, like the others, protect their
class interests, their profits, they
fight against the interests of the
oppressed Negro masses who are
being crushed into the dust.
Workers Fight the Stun System.
1t is the workers and tenants or
CARNATIONS that are found fighting
for the protection of the workers,
black and white.
The American Negro Labor Con-
gress sent kilograms to the COVER
nor and legislature of New York
State, demanding the passage of
these laws. The Harlem Tenants
League sent resolutions and dele
gates along with the representatives
of other tenants leagues and labor
bodies to fight for the protection
and the welfare and lives of the
masses of the people.
Lessons.
The lesson of this situation is
plain and pointed. 1t is clear be-
fore our eyes. The fight to reduce
higher rents and to clean up the vile
conditions which menace the health
and survival of the Negro workers
will have to be waged against the
bitter opposition of both black and
white landlords who fatten, upon
these vicious and murderous condi-
tons. The Negro tenants and
workers of other races, will have to
carry on this necessary struggle for
the salvation of the black and white
workers.
The Only Solution-Communism.
They must build strong tenants
leagues and powerful labor unions
as their essential and effective in
struments for this vital struggle.
They must organize politically to de-
feat the parties of the capitalists
and the landlords, the republican
and democratic parties. They must
defeat likewise the socialist party,
the treacherous party of the small
business men and yellow liberals
who have forsaken the class strug-
gle and who fail to fight for the in
terests of the workers. They must
build and support the Party of the
class struggle, the Party of the
workers, farmers, and tenants which
fights militantly against the sys-
tenn of rent-profiteering and capt.
talist exploitation-the Workers
(Communist) Party.
Under the banner of this militant
proletarian party the black and
white tenants and workers must
fight for the abolition of the capt.
talist system of rent, interest and
profit which is responsible for their
oppression and degradation. They
must fight for the establishment of
workers government under which
the means of life--land, houses,
} factories, mills, mines, etc.--will be

Farmer.LabOrite Given Huge
Margin; State Republican
Ticket Elected

st. Paul, Nov. 7.-(AP)-Minne-
sofa, in Tuesdays election, gave its
twelve electoral votes to Hoover. ac-
corded Senator Henrik Shipstead a
smashing victory, and reelected the
Republican state ticket.
This followed, more or less, the
expected order Of things, except in
the emphatic manner in which Ship
stead, farmer-laborite, trounced
Arthur E. Nelson, Republican, for
the senatorial toga.
Bclated returns today continued to
pile up Shipstead's majority, which
is expected to reach an unprecedent-
ed margin Of victory. 1t may reach
100000 votes, = record for the SEN
atorial contests.
Hoover's victory over Governor Al
Smith was decisive, just az Governor
Christensen, reelected for a third
term, led the other Republican candi-
dates for state office into the vic
tory column.
Congressional contests appeared
generally settled, except in two or
three cases, where the trend seemed
definite but not = sufficient number
of votes were accounted for to set
tie things beyond any reasonable
doubt.

Congressman returned to office
included Clague, second district; An

! Substantial Republican majorities
IN both the senate and house were
rolling in today behind tie tide of

only a plurality of one, the Republic
cans have captured six seats now
held by Democrats, and have appar-
emily held on to all of their own. 10
1t stake in yesterdays election.
The Hoover wave in Kentucky car
ried with it nine Republican men,
bers of the house of that states rep
rssentation Of II, and six of these
Republicans replace Democrats.
However, other OBJECTIONS in the
Democratic south in the presidential
contest failed to make material shift
in the normal representation Of
those states in the house. So the
Republicans have increased their
present majority of IS so far by
little more than the margin given
them by Kentucky.
Four Democrats Lose
Four Democratic senator's along
the Atlantic seaboard were bowled
over-Bayard, of Delaware; Bruce,
Of Maryland; Gerry, of Rhode
Island; and Edwards, of New Jer-
sey. Two other seats now held by
Democrats went to Republicans. The
veteran Republican representative
Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, was
elected to the place now held by a
Democrat, Cyrus Locher. The senate
membership voluntarily relinquished
by the Democratic warrior, James A.
Reed, of Missouri, has gone to a
Republican.
Senator Nicely, Democrat, of West
Virginia, is tagging behind his Re-
publican opponent, and Senators
Kendrick, Democrat, of Wyoming,
and Dill, of Washington, Democrat,
have real battles on their hands but
are leading.
Pr0gressives Lead
Senator Henrik Shipstead, of Min
nesota, the lone farmer-labor men,
Der, and all of the Independent bloc
Of three Republicans and two Demo-
lcrats are leading. They are La Fol-
Nlette, Frazier, Howell, Wheeler and
Dill.
Democrats were taking as well as
giving, however, in the house. They
took one of Philadelphia's prize Re-
publican districts in defeating James
NJ. Beck, former solicitor general, a
Republican from the first Pennsyl-
vania district. They sent Dem
ocrat, Harry Baker, to succeed the
late Martin Madden, Stalwart Re-
publican, from the first Illinois dis
trict. Baker defeated Oscar De
Priest, negro Republican candidate.
jeremiah E. O'Connell, a Democrat,
took the post of Representative Mon
asst, of Rhode Island, and Louis Lud-
low, Washington newspaperman,
upset normally Republican Indiana
polls to defeat his Republican oppon-
ent, Representative Updike.
