Problems and Struggles of the
By Fred Ellis

tricts. These Negro workers went
into industry for the most part into
steel, mining, automobile, needle
and other industries. In the mining
industry, the report of the Z. S.
coal commissioner shows that 42,4S9
Negroes were employed out of a
total of 525,152 workers. These
figures suffice to show the growing
industrialization of the Negro work
ers and their Importance for the la
Dor movement. 1t should be noted
that the great steel strike of 1919
was broken by the capitalists be-
cause it was possible for them to
draw upon the Negro masses whom
they consider as strike breaking re-
serves to break this strike, in one
of the most basic industries. In the
mining strike, thousands of Negroes
were likewise imported. They were
not told that they would be en-
ployed as miners or that a strike
was on. In the needle workers
strikes and in the paper-box makers
strike this same tactic has been used
by the bosses. More and more it is
their practice to utilize Negro work
ers against white workers and to pit
white workers against Negro work
ers to undermine the standards of
both and to maintain the eXploita-
ton and degradation of the entire
working class. The role of the Ne
gro masses in the revolution which
abolished chattel slavery should
demonstrate the importance of the
Negro masses for the proletarian
revolution of America. 1t is impos-
sible to conceive of a successful So
cial revolution without the Negro
masses, who played the decisive role
in the civil war of 1865 and who
will again play very important
role in the coming social revolution.
3. The industrialization of the
South. The South is being rapidly
transformed from an agricultural
into an industrial section. Steel,
mining, textile, and other manufac-
turing industries are being rapidly
developed owing to the absence of
restrictive labor laws and a cheap
and docile supply of white and black
workers. Negro workers are being
drawn in large numbers into the
heavy industries.
a. Limitation of immigration.
The decline in immigration will be
seen from the following figures: re-
ported by the Bureau of Immigra-
ton: in 1910 a million and 41,57O
immigrants entered the United
States. This number fluctuated
slightly until 1914 when 1,218,48O
came. In the next year only 1926, 700
were admitted, the number falling
as low as 110,618 in 1918, and in
creasing slightly to 373,511 in 1928.
A greater demand for Negro work
ers in industry is the result.

Senate Withdraws It's
Approval of J. Cotton
as an Under Secretary

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Over-
riding the angry protests of Sena-
tor Borah, who claimed that all the
serious charges against Joseph P.
Cotton had been investigated al
ready by the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, the senate today
withdrew it's confirmation of
Hoover's appointee to the post of
under-secretary of state.
Cotton would seem to be an ideal
man from the imperialist point of
view, as he is a big corporation
lawyer and banker and also served
on Hoover's food commission which
starved the Hungarians when they
had Soviet government. But he is
suspected of taking money from
foreign sources.

". Importance of Negro Masses
for the Labor Movement and
the Revolutionary Struggle
in America.

Negroes number over II million
| They are one-tenth of the total
population and one-seventh of the
workers. They are the most exploit
ed section of the proletarian masses
of this country being doubly OPP
pressed both as workers and as a
subject race. Potentially, therefore,
they are the most revolutionary
proletarian elements and constitute
a fertile field for Communist propa-
ganda and organization. Moreover,
the development of American imper-
ialism draws the Negro masses ever
more into the forefront of the class
struggle. Specific factors which OPP
crate to make the Negro workers an
organized and integral factor of the
labor movement and the revolution
airy struggle are:
1. The movement from the farms
to the industrial and commercial
cities. The extent of this movement
will be seen from the following fig
ures:
In 1890 the percentage of Negroes
living in rural districts was 500
that in cities 1914; in 1920, 66 and
81. From 1900 to 1929 Negro city
population increased more than a
million and a half while the Negro
population of rural areas increased
less than $4,000 or about per cent
The greater part of this movement
occurred from 1910 to 1920 during
which decade the Negro city popu-
lation, making total increase of
more than 100000 for the 25-year
period-a growth Of over 100 per
cent. From 1900 to 1920 the South
ern cities increased by 886,173 while
the Northern and Western cities in
creased by 671,292. On a percen-
tage basis, however, the gain in the
North was 105 per cent as against
65 per cent in the South. More than
3 IL million or over one-third of the
Negro population lived in cities by
1920. In 1920 there were six cities
3 Southern and 3 Northern, which
had a population of over 100000
Negroes. These are Baltimore, 108,-
1882, New Orleans, 100,93O; and
Washington, d. c., 109,966. New
York, 152,467; Philadelphia, 1874, 229;
Chicago, 109,458. AS we shall see
next the Negro population of these
northern cities have increased con-
siderably since 1920.
2. The migration from the South
to the Northern industrial centers
It is estimated that between 100000
and 100000 Negroes came north
during the two recent great mass
migrations of 1916 to 1919 and 1921
to 1928. The first of these move
ments was due primarily to the de-
mand for labor during the world
war, the latter to the labo: demand
due to restricted immigration. The
contributory causes were severe
economic exploitation in the South,
insecurity Of life due to !ynchings
and mob violence, insecurity Of prop
erty caused by high ms' tgage and
interest rates, crop failures due to
boil weevil and floods, unemploy-
ment, Jim Grow laws, poor school
facilities, oppression in the courts,
disfranchisement, and the terrible
conditions in Negro segregated dis

New York, Sept. tR)-Curb ex- change stocks displayed marked rallying tendencies today, as profess sional operators brought forward their favorites again on the theory that the flood of selling late yester- day had swept out weak holdings and strengthened the markets posi-. ton.
 Scattered liquidation had to be absorbed, however, as public conf- dcnce appeared 10 have suffered severe jolt yesterday, and unccrtain- ties in the credit situation, with the mid-month settlements approaching were not reassuring. The selling generally petcred out by midday, however, when the market develop ed fairly strong tone. X decline in call money from 10 per cent in the early afternoon aided the for ward movement.
 A few of the utilities were mark edly buoyant.

Northern States was also in urgent demand, rising sev- eral points to new high levels. Am erlcan and Foreign Power warrants were carried sharply high by an up- turn in the stock on the stock ex- change.
 Electric Investors and Electric Bond and Share each mounted a few points, and American Gas and Flee tric was firm, but Associated Class A, American Supcrpower, Common wealth and Southern and United Gas Improvement fuctuated uncertainty.
 The industrials were generally quiet and irregular. In the motors, Ford of France moved up a little, and Ford of Canada was firm.

MOTHS FACE
 1 FINISH BY BUGS
OrcharQiStS to Use Parasites to
 End Crop DeStroyerS

New Haven, Sept. 6 P-The ' Oriental peach moth destroyer of ee one-third the states peach crop of i 1928 faces destruction itself-by natural enemies consisting of para sites which will be placed in the orchards.
 Connecticut peach growers have organized to release their natural enemies to save their crops. to which , ruin is threatened by the insects. The organization is canvassing or chari owners for funds and will ask the state to contribute to the cost of the campaign.
 At meeting Wednesday called by Harold M. Rogers, president of the Connecticut Promotogical so- ciety, at the Connecticut Agricu- tural experiment station here, the growers were unanimous for trying the plan.
 They immediately subscribed S7OO toward the S1O,000 that will be needed for the new method of at tack on the moth. The state and each orchard owner will be asked to contribute s10 for each one thousand peach trees in the state.
 The plan for fighting the pest has been proposed by Dr. Philip Gar man, station entomologist
 Agents of the county farm bu- reaus are surveying the peach or nf ha Sta t6 CT will be asked to contribute at the rate of S10 for each thousand trees. The survey is made at the direction of A. W. Manchester of the Connecticut Agricultural Col@ lege who is serving on the society's committee with Mr. Rogers, John Bishop of Cheshire; John Lyman of ington. The report will be made in a week. It is estimated that $10,00O will finance the experiment. Dr. Garman's plan calls for the intro ductjon of two species of parasites into every orchard.
 One, which looks like a mosquito, attacks the larvae and the other, NI'Il CllC hbpEdl dliCt OI d nllnule fly, cats the eggs. The parasites would be bred this winter at the experiment station and distributed next spring to the orchards. Incu- bators, green house space and re- friSerators will have to be reserved for the work which must be begun immediately.
 No artificial means is satisfactory in controlling the pest, but peach moth infestations have been almost wiped out by parasites in parts of New Jersey and New York, which have been successful with them.
 Connecticut infestations are sc- verest in MiddleseX and Hartford counties.
