racial unity, they are conquering the
virus of race and national hatred in
jected into them by the bosses, and
they are uniting into one conscious,
organized force which in spite of
every obstacle, will at last achieve
decent order of society in which
workers will rule and in which there
will be no more class and race dis
tinctions.
Fight Race Oppression.
"The American Negro Labor Con-
gress leads in the struggle of the
Negro masses against lynching,
peonage, segregation, and all the
other forms of oppression which
they suffer. The Negro Champion
is the only militant Negro labor
paper in the country fearlessly
fighting against the oppressors and
carrying the message of solidarity
and struggle to the Negro masses
and all other workers. Every think
.ng Negro, every class-conscious
worker, and every free-spirited
sympathizer should join the Ameri-
can Negro Labor Congress and SUBJ
scribe for and support the Negro
Champion.

preston!

patton of the workers Of all racesW

Fails to Disprove Story

unionism did with that money. Their
paralyzed silence on these questions,
put to them in the expose, brands
them for what they are.
There is yet another angle to the
scandalous Statement" OF Hillquit
and Co. Isn't Hillquit enough of a
lawyer land his clientele of CAPT
talist corporations seems to testify
to his being sharp one!) to make
it his business to specify whether
he intends to bring criminal action ?
Although Hillquit's Socialist" rec
ord shows he would have no scruples
in bringing workers to capitalist
court for criminal prosecution, his
befuddled statement seems to indi-
cate that he will bring civil suit and
not criminal action, for the follow
ing reasons:
In civil action subpoenas are
served OH the defendants and the
case may then easily drag along in
quiet, civil hearings, postponements,
etc, for many years. Criminal &C
ton, on the other hand, at least pro-
vides the Daily Worker with the OPP
portunity to have the case go be-
fore magistrates court for an in
itial public hearing. Hillquit and
his gang apparently fear to bring
criminal action, because the facts OBJ
tanned from a public witness stand
may be printed in order to prove
to the entire world the filthiness of
the big swindle.
Proof of our contention is Of
fered in the libel suits brought
against the Communist press by
Harry Lang, official of the "For-
ward" end Lucie Robbins, when
they were exposed as misusing funds
collected from the workers to de-
fend and free from Jail Eugene V.
Debs. The case is now many years
old, with the socialist faker and his
girl friend, who reached high office
in the A. F. Of l.. because of SIM
liar friendship for Gompers and
other leading lights in the A. F. of
L., mot anxiously" pressing charges
for their aggregate suits of $780,
600.
Yet another case. All will re-
member the famous" case of Sig
mans "Coney Island" properties in
Iowa. Here criminal action was
brought against M. Epstein and the
Jewish Daily Freiheit. A>(hilarious
hearing was held in magistrates
court, resulting in making the right
wing gang the laughing stock of
the labor movement. This despite
the fact that Magistrate Brodsky at
that time sent the case to the
grand jury, where it lies buried to
this day.

new achievement of the capitalism
that has electrified the Mexican
railways, trustified the production
of sugar, and that is already master
of more than ninety per cent of the
land.
"When we will succeed in unity
ing the masses of workers and
peasants from the Rio Grande to
Patagonia, then imperialism will re-
ceive it's death blow and we will
show that the work begun by Julio
Mella has been completed"
Felix Martinez Rodriguez, of the
Factory Workers Union, denounced
the conditions under which these
workers suffer, and accused Yankee
imperialism of fastening it's YAM
pire claws" in the threats of the
Latin American peoples.
"All Who Sweat-Unite.'
Ex-senator Monzon, speaking of
the life of Mella from 1925 up to
his murder, told how Mella was one
of the most potentially great revo-
lutionaries of Latin America, cut
down before his time as victim of
world capitalism.
"This MEANS" said Monzon, "that
all who till the soil, the workers of
the factories, of the sea and air, of
the army and the offices, all those
who sweat to swell the fortunes of
others, must forge a bloc that will
sweep bourgeois governments from
the face of the earth.
CarillO's Tense Eloquence.
Rafael Garlic, addressing the
crowds in the name of the Mexican
Communist Party, said:
"Mella had the recklessness of the
brave. Well did they know what
they were doing when they killed
him. In the name of the World
Revolution we greet him, and with
out tears we say to him farewell.
For we do not bury here a man who
ends, but we raise here an example
which begins. His death imposes
on us the duty of avenging it. He
was preparing a book that will be
of great Importance for Cuba and
which we will issue and hurl in the
face of his assassin. In that book
he pictured the situation in Cuba
and pointed out it's remedy. He did
not finish the last chapter, which
he had entitled The Machado Ter
ror and the Present Situation
"The struggle goes on twice as
forcefully. We know how to punish
his assassins. l pledge you, Julio
Mella, that we will avenge you. And
thus we say to you, that the masses
of the poor and the humble who
have sprung from the soil of Mex
leo, treasure your teaching and
your hope. You will not remain
here: Your blood is in our banners,
your ashes we will carry to Mos
cow, and you will repose in the best
of all chapels-in the love of the
toiling masses of all the world"
