A conference at which the "nice''
ladies and gentlemen, and their lieu
tenants, the corrupted, large and
small fry can be exposed and shown
to the working class of America in
their true role, as promulgators of
this hate-instilling policy, serving
the purpose of dividing the work
ers, so as to better exploit them.
At this conference, a call to echo
throuout the country, calling for
labor unity, whatever the color of
it's skin.
These various church people, who
in the name of Jesus, practice Sc
gregation in their very churches;
the Negro preachers who do their
masters bidding, by calling upon
the Negro to further bend his back
and submit to further and greater
humiliation, and inhuman cruelties;
the fat-bellied, bejewelled, soft
speaking PHILANTHROPISTS -
their pow-wows are sand thrown in
the eyes of the mass of workers
and farmers. 1t is labor whose his
toric mission is to fight and exter-
inmate race hate together with the
system that breeds it-CAPITAL-
ISM.
Labor led on by the Communist
Party will do it.

asked to write about conditions in

The conditions are terrible. The

never opened during the summer.
The place where we wash up is al
ways full of water.
They tried the speed-up in this
mill but all the workers walked out
ard the bosses had to come out after
them asking them to go back to
work. The workers refused to go
back saying that they would not
work under the new speed-up system,
and that unless they withdrew this
speed-up they would go on strike.
The bosses then agreed and the
workers went back to work.
At noon hour we had meeting in
front of the mill, asking the work
ers to vote for Beal for Mayor. I

CORRECTION

In the letter by seamen CORE

81, the sentence "Most Of them, in

in their lives" should have read:
"Most of them, including the Presi-

been to sea in the last decade. I

HEARST NOT The
ONLY PUBLISHER
Who DRIVES men
Concessions on Other
Papers Boss Scheme
(Bu Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
In the Feb. 18th issue of the
Daily Worker appeared a worker
correspondence letter from printer
which cannot go unchallenged on ac-
count of nnisconstrued facts and
theories advanced in the letter.
A class conscious worker should
never use the name of an individual
capitalist or employer as an excep-
tional figure, but as an illustration
of capitalist exploitation. The afore-
mentioned worker correspondent on
the contrary presents Hearst as the
only publisher who entertains Rus
sian 'princes" and devises means of
driving his slaves.
He says thu this so-ealled "friend
of labor" tho The wealthiest of pub
fishers, cares the least for the men
and women employed by him. Other
newspapers, paying the scale, offer
the men and women in their employ
vacations with pay, Christmas
bonuses, free insurance, policies and
many other concessions. In the
Hearst publications attempts have
been made to put up straw bosses to
act as drivers of the men,"
Not the Only Slave Driver.
Hearst publications are not the
only publications that attempt to put
up straw bosses to drive the men.
AS to the other newspapers offer
ing the men vacation with pay,
Christmas bonuses, free insurance
and many other Concessions" it
must be said that this writer is con-
fused in the usage of terms of offer
and concession, and unconsciously
advances the theory of benevolent
and this leads to class
First of all he does not distinguish
offers from Concessions" If other
are offering something
to the men it does not come from
the fullness of their hearts but to
speed them up and sow dissension
among the workers so that in case
of struggle the men in their employ
will hesitate to stand with their fell
low workers in consideration of the
fact that this particular employer
is offering them something extra,
sop. If the other newspapers are
conceding something, it means that
the workers in their employ have
obtained those things after a strug-
gle, therefore it is up to the en-
ployers Of the Hearst papers to get
after him.
For Broad Struggle.
But such is not the case, because
compositors, engravers, stereotypers,
pressmen and others are supposed
to be organized in unions to demand
concessions from publishers collec-
lively and not shops separately and
this in its narrow scope is more cor
rect policy as far as the class strug-
gle is concerned than a separate
shop struggle which the writer init
mates. Never the idea of a good
employer and bad employer should
be entertained by class-conscious
worker. The writer, moreover, con-

Plot in Worker Letter

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. (By Mail)
On Thursday, Jan. "a, the Daily
Worker carried a worker CORE
spondence letter, with the heading,
Chattanooga is a He'll Hole for Ne
groes."
The Chattanooga Daily Times, a
reactionary local paper, in it's issue
If Feb. 6, carried an article en-
titled "Moscow Red Secret Agent
ut Work Here"
The Chattanooga Times is pub
lished by Adolph Ochs, the reaction
airy publisher of the New York
Times.
The latter I ser,t you toll Of the
rotten conditions down here for the
exploited Negro workers. The
Times also prints portion of the
Election Platform of the Workers
(Communist) Party. They are hor-
iified to find out that it calls on
The workers to fight lynching and
race discrimination and common
fight against the capitalist system
by the white and Negro workers
combined.
By printing a part of the Com
,nunist Election Platform the Times
unwittingly did a good deed for the
workers. Many oppressed Negro
workers of the south became ac'
cuainted with the Communist pro-
gram.
Below is the scare story of the
Chattanooga Times:
moscow Red Secret Agent at
Work Here. Propaganda Being
Circulated Among Negroes. Eff
forts to Arouse Race Conscious
ness. Letter Sent Out by Com
munist Party Envoy Terms Cha
tanooga He'll Holes for Negroes"
''Insidious propaganda is being
circulated among Negroes of Chat
tanooga IN an effort to enroll
them in the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party. Such is the inforna-
ton furnished the Times yester-
day from reliable source, it be-
ing stated that a secret agent Of
Moscow is now in the city.
"The identity of the secret
agent is shrouded in mystery, be
ing known to those who revealed
his presence here only as j A. r.
and he is sending out reports
from this city under his initials.
"The plan of the Communists is
to arouse the race consciousness
of the Negroes.
"a copy of orr-of the first let
tiers sent out from Chattanooga by
the Red agent declares that Chat
tanooga is hell-hole for Ne
groes, and that workers here are
dogs to the master class. The
!, agent states that this letter is to
: be followed by another, in which
conditions in industrial plants
are to be- described"
The letter is then printed by the
Times. Why does not the Times
tell its readers that it took the in
formation out of the Daily Worker?
Because it is afraid other workers
in the south will write to the worker
correspondence page and tell OF the
miserable conditions of the Negro
and white workers in the south!
