DePriest Supports
Wall Street i'm Haiti

Continued from Page One)
workers by the marines. His sup
port of Wall Street rule was more
rabid than the other Congressman
who talked for the Hoover measure.
/ Not only did De Priest thank Hoov-
err for sending marines to crush the
present revolt in Haiti, but he was
grateful to United States imperial
ism for domination of the Negro
masses in Haiti since 1915.
Praising imperialist rule of the
Negro workers and peasants in
Haiti, De Priest said:
81 appreciate also the great work
that has been accomplished since we
have occupied the country since the
year 1915 along general improve
ments n every respect, and I am
very glad to see the gentlemen on
the minority side of the House so
very solicitous about the condition
of the black people of Haiti"
De Priest has been making a bluff
of "self-determination" for the Ne
groes in the South, while at the
same time he works with the i'm
perialists to enslave the Negro
masses of Haiti. His whole object
has been to get special privileges
for few of the Negro petty-bour-
geois at the expense of the vast
number of Negro workers and farm
ers in the United States.
The Communist International at
the Sixth Congress laid down the
basis for a real struggle for the
right of self-determination by the
Negro masses in the South. The
thesis adopted said:
In those regions of the South,
in which compact Negro masses
are living, it is essential to put
forward the slogan of the Right
of self-determination for Negroes.
-. Negro Communists must ex-
plain TO non-Negro workers and
peasants that only their close
union with the white proletariat
and joint struggle with them
against the American bourgeoisie
can lead to their liberation from
barbarous exploitation, and that
only the victorious proletarian
revolution will completely and
permanently solve the agrarian
and national question of the
Southern United States in the in
terests of the overwhelming ma
iority of the Negro population of
the country"
De Priests activities helps the
capitalist class in their suppression
of the Negro masses in the United
States, Haiti and elsewhere.
One Congressman pointed out:
eve haven't allowed an election in
Haitia and we will not allow the
regular one in January on account
of this commissions investigation"
The commission, which will be
approved by the senate, will make
six months Investigation" of
Haiti for Wall Street and will come
back with recommendations for
further oppressive laws against the
Haitian masses.
Congressman Black, of New
York, frankly pointed out the i'm
perialist detectives of the Hoover
commission. He said: 81 favor the
holder course of admitting that we
want certain colonial areas and
that We take them"

Intervention Baseless

MOSCOW, Dec. 19.-The Soviet
Turkish treaty of friendship and neu-
trality was renewed at Angora, Tur-
key, on December II.
The Turkish government officially
refuses to countenance United States
intervention against the Soviet
Union in the Manchurian affair, as
the Soviet Union has made num-
Der Of fair proposals to the Chinese

is of great international Importance

Textile Young Workers
Called to Organization

Continued from Pare One)
and 16. These young workers are
doffers, sweepers, battery filters,
and frame hands in the card room.
The mill is especially anxious to get
young boys as doffers, because of
the required alertness and speed. In
one minute he may have to change
about 1000 bobbins, running back
and forth from one side to another.
And the average wage for doffers
is 80 per week. The children are
employed as sweepers, but that only
temporarily, because as a rule old
men or women are used as sweepers.
The average wage for sweepers is
81. But when children come in as
learners they receive 81 and S. per
week doing sweeping and battery
filling.
"The battery filters are young
girls, earning an average wage of
$3.50. Yet this State is Supposed
ly" more progressive. On record
they have a child labor law, pro-
hibiting work for children below the
age of IA. But it is perfectly well
for a child of IA when in the mill,
and all children of textile workers
are to slave 10 hours day. For
that, too, is a law. Mind you, more
progressive than other states, a
55-hour week!
Easiest To Exploit.
with the introduction of the
stretch-out system there has been
greater influx of young workers.
Young farmers, green hands, as they
are called, are replacing the old
workers, who, after Is and 20 years
of life-sapping toll, cannot make the
speed.
Hundreds of young girls are re-
cruited into the new rayon plants.
The highest wages there are but Sc
per week.
With present curtailment, as a
result of overproduction, the wages
abut but half. And that is consumed
in the company store before the
week is over. At the end of the week
none collect any wages, and the
company store refuses to give
credit.
Last week ITO people were lai/
off in one mill, the Brandon, til
same is true of other mills. The
ranks of the unemployed swell daily,
SO much so that the Salvation
(starvation) Army issued a state
ment in the Greenville News that
the demands for food this year have
been more than at any other time.
And in the same issue of the news
paper an editorial appears comment
ing the many arrests for vagrancy,
stating that these are, unemployed
people who can not find jobs.
Doping the Youth.
ITO continue diverting the minds
of the young workers from these
miserable conditions the mills have
the most perfected welfare organ
izations. Fairs, teams, athletic
meets, Y.M.C.A. in the villages,
church organizations, Sunday school /;
through which loyalty to employer,
and the idea that present conditions
are the twill of God" ETC., are con-
stantly hammered into their heads.
Yet discomfort is seething, the will
for organization is growing. Our
task now is to direct this discomfort
~ Tine building of an organization
that will become fighting weapon
of all textile workers. Especially
must we win over the young work
ers to our side, as that will be a
guarantee for the growth and life
of our organization.
"The National Youth Conference
in Paterson will give the Southern
youth delegates fighting youth
program and demands around which
to rally all Southern young textile
workers"

If the occasion arises. I have usually
found the traveller very considerate and
only in rare instances does he come to
me with a complaint. These are usu-
ally of minor character and can be
adjusted by department heads on ship
board.
The appearance of the captain on
the decks or at his table in the dining
saloon invariably starts a barrage OF
questions from the passengers. AS soon
as we pull in the lines / am asked
What kind of weather will We have
on the trip and when will we arrived"
Women passengers fear storms more
than men but they frequently confide
in me that they would like to see what
a real storm is like just for a few
minutes.
A woman came to the bridge one
day and asked me the usual intro
ductory question, to which l had to
explain that it was impossible to de-
termine the weather several days In
advance and that the time of arrival
could not always be determined less
than a few days out. She then re-
uuested that I go little farther north
and pass an iceberg so her husband,
who was on board could see what one
looked like. OF course, granting re-
quests like these is quite impossible, for
our courses are the same across the
Atlantic during various periods of the
year and are changed because of the

The America was still fitted out as
transport but in that category had ac-
commodations that were just as good
as those offered to the immigrant before
the war What a contrast there is be-
tween those quarters of pre-war days
and the ones the third class passenger
enjoys today.
In the old days there was no dining
room. The immigrants sat in circles
on the deck, 10 to mess, around

been cooked. Each had kit of tin
