Leningrad Children
Have Own Theatre
By CLARINA NICHOLSON

LENINGRAD, July II, (By MaiD
The season of the Childrens
Theatre in Leningrad is just ending.
Six hundred children come from
their schools six days a week, nine
months a year, to see the perfor-
mances which arc given only for
children. Four new plays and about
twelve former ones are put on each
year. Among the favorites are some
based on stories American children
know, such as "Uncle Toms Cabin"
and "The Prince and the Pauper."
However, practically all the plays
are realistic except for a few deal

FACE PREJUDICE
Unable to Get Jobs;
Lower Pay

CBy Tani Worker Correspondent
am a Negro taxicab driver and
want to give you a picture of the
discrimination which is being prac-
ticed especially against us Negro
drivers who work in the Harlem dis
trict.
The Yellow Taxi Corporation. the
largest cab operators in the east, do
not employ Negroes. hack from
the corner of 135th St. and Seventh
Ave. Recently I applied for a lob
as driver at the east 23rd st. Of
lice of the open-shop Yellow Taxi
Corporation. One of the employ
ment bosses told me that, eve don't
employ niggers and you can go back
and tell your 'Boogie' friends not
to be coming around here"
Same Discrimination.
This is not only true of the Vel
low Taxi Corporation, but of the
large independent fleet owners. In
order to get a job many Negro
drivers are forced to work for 35
per cent, while white drivers work
ing for the same fleet owners, driv-
ing the same make of cabs, get 40
per cent.
Benny Engle, who operates 125
Mogul checker cabs, is one of the
fleet owners that will not hire a
Negro taxi driver. Maloney &
Nichols, who operate over 100 Para
mount cabs and whose garage is
located in the heart of the colored
residential and business section of
Harlem, is another who will have
nothing to do with colored hack
men. Many of the fleet owners will
hire a Negro taxi driver only in a
pinch"
One Negro friend of mine tells
of an experience he had with fleet
owner in Brooklyn. This fleet owner
had advertised for day and night
taxi drivers. This driver had come
all the way from lower Harlem and
applied for a job.
The boss, after looking over the
drivers book, badge and police Grim
inal Identification card, told the man
to wait. The driver waited from 3
2. m. to p. m. While waiting he
noticed the cabs rolling out, He
asked the boss for a cab and was
told that there were no more.
The boss told the driver that all
the white drivers had taken their
cabs out to work and that if he
wanted job real bad he could buy
one of his "loads" (cabs). The driver
explained that he had come to work
and not to buy a cab. The boss, who
was mad because of the low "book-
ings" his regular men were bringing
in, shouted: Get the hell out of here
you black b. - d."
That is what we drivers who are
unorganized are up against, and the
lot of the Negro workers is even
worse than that of his white
brothers.

ate Anthracite Union. Stanley Fig
lock is put to the front to speak for
it. But there is no question that the
the coal companies and some reac-
tionary officials are behind the
move. Thomas Kennedy, secretary
treasurer of the United Mine Work
ers' of America, came out with a
statement against separate union,
but it is the Lewis Kennedy machine
that is responsible for dividing the
anthracite and the bituminous min
ers by signing separate agreement
of the national strike of 1922, and at
the present time, during the strike
of the soft coal miners no attempt
was made to support the strike by
sympathy strike of anthracite min
ers, and relief raised from assess
ments did not go to strikers, but to
the Lewis machine. Lewis betrayed
and sold out the soft coal miners,
broke the union and accepted the
wage cut. This will have an effect
on the anthracite miners who are to-
day already under the fire of the
guns of the coal operators, who are
worsening working conditions, cut
ting down wages, and increasing I'M
employment to 40 per cent. Many
mines are shut down completely, and
both administrations, McGarry and
Boylan-Lewis, are not doing any
thing to remedy the situation. The
Save-the- Union movement is fight
ing the idea of the separated anthra-
cite union, warning of its danger
coming not only from Figlock, but
also from the McGarry faction, and
pledge their solidarity toward the
soft coal miners.
The McGarry administration, at
the meeting held Saturday, July %,
passed the resolution in favor of a
general strike eff that is necessary"
to get recognition from Lewis and

ested in recognition Of McGarry by
Lewis. They must mobilize their
strength in every local union for
election of delegates to the National
Miners Convention which will unite
soft coal and anthracite under the
banner of a new real rank and file
miners union.
The McGarry's talk about gem
eral strike for his recognition shall
be converted into a strike for in

demands for elimination of the con-
