AS result, many Negro workers
who have attended Communist open

(Communist) Party, ready to fight
side by side with their white COM

the country makes the militant,
class struggle platform of the Work

portance to them.
Harlem Active.
In Negro Harlem the number of
Negroes who have joined the ranks
of the Communist army of workers
have been enough to warrant the
opening of a Negro headquarters, at
200 w. 135th Street. In Browns
vile, many Negro workers visit the
headquarters of the Party at 154
Watkins Street regularly and take a
deep interest in the work of the
Party. Many have joined. The
same is true in Williamsburg, in the
heart of which a Negro section is
rapidly being build.
Recently special distributions of
issues of the Daily Worker, con-
tanning articles on subjects vital to
Negro workers in New York, have
taken place in Negro Harlem, where
they have suffesad from police bru-
tally and been viciously discrimi-
mated against.
The Workers (Communist) Party
has chosen three Negro workers as
it's standard bearers in the elections:
Lovett Fort Whiteman, candidate
for State Comptroller; Richard B.
Moore, candidate for Congress in the
21st Congressional District and Ed

ATLANTIC CITY, (By MaiD =
Running rough-shod over every con-

resolution, the Convention of the
United Association of Plumbers and

for reaction and betrayal of the
workers in the trades.
Resolutions on unemployment re-

other progressive measures went
down before the steam roller of the
official machine. Instead the labor
officialdom voted itself an increase
in salary averaging about $1,000 per
officeholder. President Coefield,
who previously was forced to make
ends meet on $1,000 a year had him

CONFERENCE TO

HALL AND C. 0. P.
Squabble for Contracts
Causes Delay

A conference of the Parents AS
ISOLATION of children attending Pub
lie School 80, the Bronx, will be held
Friday evening, for the purpose of
protesting against the bad condi-
tons under which the children are
forced to go to school.
The protest was caused by the
fact that P. S. 80, which opened
last year and which was originally
built to accommodate only 1000
children, is now overcrowded to the
extent that 5000 children are en-
rolled. Many OF these children, who
live in sections where access to other
schools is easier, are forced to walk
about ten blocks to P. S. 80 every
morning, crossing on their way such
dangerous highways as White Plains
Road, and the Boston Post Road,
which are always filled with heavy
traffic.
No Results from Mayor.
The Parents Association has al
ready tried to negotiate with Mayor
Walker and the Board of Education.
But they received only evasive an
swers, and no definite action or
I promises to relieve the situation. All
{ the answers of both the mayors sec
rotary, who was interviewed by the
association recently, and the Board
of Education Of New York have been
vague, and have always carried in
definite statements with impossible
reservations.
The reason for the delay in i'm
proving the school conditions of the
children of the Bronx is believed to
be the result of political squabbles
among the Tammany and republican
factions in the Bronx. Because of
this petty squabbling, which accord
ing to the Parents Association, in
wolves the control of fat contracts
in the Bronx, nothing has been done
to relieve the bad schooling situa-
ton.
Tammany, G. o. P. Squabble.
At one time the creation of an
annex was contemplated. But the
political squabbles destroyed the
plan, and nothing was done.
Parents have been offered the
opportunity" of transferring their
children to P. S. Al. 1t was here
that the persecution of Young
Pioneers took place last year, and
parents, remembering this, pre-
ferred to keep their children out Of
the school.
At the conference Friday evening,
extensive plans to carry the fight
on to a successful end will be dis
cussed and formulated.

Saturday night to the kidnapping and
Staying of young Gill Jameson, was
held under heavy guard today while
authorities sought to prevent dem

The first instance of anti-Japan-

of Japanese restaurant by mob
which destroyed furniture and fix

Saturday night, following the
youths confession, 10000 persons
stormed the front of the city Jail

WORKERS PARTY
SIGNATURE DRIVE
SETS new RECORD
Many Obtain Totals of
100

One Of the outstanding features
of the election campaign waged in
New York City by the Workers
(Communist) Party is the drive
made by Party members for sigma
lures to put the national, state and
local Communist candidates on the
ballot. In two ways have the re-
suits of the signature campaign
been productive: the response of the
Party membership generally which
has by far exceeded the response in
previous campaigns, and the pFopa-
ganda work carried on by the Red
signature gatherers.
Due to the work of the Commun-
list Party members, a sufficient
number of signatures will have been
obtained by the end of the drive
October 1, to put the Communist
candidates of fifteen assembly dis
tricts, eight congressional and four
senatorial districts on the ballot and
also Communist candidate for Boro
president of Queens, notorious for
its sewer scandals.
Many Aid in Drive.
The signature drive has been Wig
orously pushed by the various sec
tons of the Workers (Communist)
Party in New York. Competition be-
tween the sections has run high,
both as to the total number of sig
natures collected by each section and
as to the individual comrade who
collects the greatest number. With
regards to the latter, the honors
seem to be safely in the capable
hands of Joe Kiss, member of the
Harlem section of the Party, who
himself collected 450 signatures.
In the Bronx, where workers, in
Guiding boys and girls from 16 to 10
years of age-are being exploited
under terrible conditions and for low
wages in handkerchief and shirt
factories, laundries, piano factories,
large bakeries and others, the Red
platform of the class struggle has
this year gained the support of in
creasingly large numbers of work
ers. At nightly street corner meet
ings, workers show by their ques-
tions, purchases of literature and
contributions, an ever increasing
class consciousness.
Distribute Literature.
Communist campaigners engaged
in signature work have distributed
literature setting forth the demands
made by the Communist Party, and
have sold platforms of the class
struggle to signers. In section l,
downtown Manhattan, fully half the
workers who signed the petitions
bought copies of the Communist ma
tional platform.
In Brownsville, not only has a
Communist candidate been put

old walls can easily be made new
" and If you have admired the
latest wall finishes which give that
unusual effect to a room. you do
not have to call a professional
painter. The fashionable stipple
finish. the scumble finish and the
blended effect can all be achieved
according to directions in the cur
rent issue of Mccall Needlework
and Decorative Arts.
There are three types of painted
wall finishes that especially recon-
mend themselves in this way-the
sponge stipple. the Stumbled finish
and the blended wall. OF these
three the sponge stipple is the
easiest to produce, and the blended
wall is perhaps the most difficult.
However. any one of these three
ways is, comparatively speaking,
quick and easily successful.
Another adva ntage. and a real
one. to people who live i'm old
homes, is that these finishes cover
wall defects that would be APP
parent were a plain paint coat
ing used. Small cracks and ugly
blOtches may often be concealed
beneath the figured pattern effects,
and the result is as pleasing as II
the walls were perfect. The scum.
bIed finish, especially, is used to
cover damaged walls.
They do not become easily
soiled and do not show spots as
plain finish would. This is due
partly to the fact that on their ir-
regular pattern Of two or three
The Washington times., 1928-10-20

gray and blue blended wall, would
be altogether pleasing.
I'm each of these finishes you
start with painted background.
In case your walls have never
been finished, two or three coats
will be needed to provide the back
ground. The painting does not
have to be done with as great
care as 1t would were a plain fin
ish to be left, since the figured
pattern will cover certain defects.
However, the better the back
ground looks, the better the final
results.
'In sponge stippling, a sponge
Is cut with pair Of scissors so
that it is flat on one side. Any
sponge may be used, but a deep
sea wool sponge or a rubber
sponge is best. The latter gives
a more unique and delicate pat
tern. A very little of the wall
point of whatever color is chosen
for the finish, is poured out in a
flat container. The object of this
is to avoid getting too much col
or on the sponge. The sponge is
dipped into the paint, and then
tapped about on the wall in hap
hazard fashion. In case it is de-
sired to use still another color for
the stippling, giving a three-color
effect, the first stipple color must
be allowed to dry before the Sec
ond stippling color is applied. For
example, on yellow background
you might stipple yellow-tan with
the sponge. When the latter is
dry. you might stipple the wall
with a yelIow-green."
