Back at the Office she showed a

But as the days passed and Ste

look up until Mildred appeared be-

drew herself higher on her silken

down more heavily on joining the

The Uneeda Workers Champion,

its advocacy of organization is some
what too abstract. There is an &C

offered is organization, but nothing
concrete is advised. 1t tells of the
firing of workers and urges the
workers to fight against such condi-
tions, without telling how.
This too abstract handling of the

have not even the tradition of or

In those industries where unions
exist, but where the majority of the
workers in the shop are not men,
bers, the organization drive itself
is we'll carried on, but in most cases
sufficient criticism of the union Of
ficials is neglected. There is a feel

men who poured into the union, did
not stay there long, and left with
bitterness and a prejudice against
union organization. Not only must
we urge the workers to join the
union but also to make it fighting

has learned to do since.

union and shop committee to these
workers who are not acquainted with
how this weapon can protect them.
The idea of the shop, mill, plant,
or mine committee has pretty well
penetrated into practically every
paper we now have, and room for
improvement exists only in a little
more care in explaining concretely
how the workers must go about to
form them, and little more in
genuity in linking them up con-
cretely with shop conditions. The
Tin Plate Worker, District, 5, and
the Wheeling Corrugating Toiler,
District 5, both do this very we'll in
the very first issue. The Red Star,
District 2, also advocates the shop
committee in the first issue and

and leaderless department strike

craft unions are already represented

very well advocated as supplements
to the union for bringing about soli-

I loyalty" that these so-called leaders
have used to betray them to the
white ruling class.
At a meeting with group of
Negro workers, several questions
were put to them by the writer, con-
corning their attitude toward these
Negro politicians, business men and
professionals. The answer given and
opinions expressed by these work
ers were very clear and sharp on
this matter. One worker expressed
himself in the following manner,
concerning Negro professionals, viz:
"These so-called Big Negroes,
doctors, lawyers, don't care anything
about us workers, all they are con-
cerned about is to get themselves a
swell home and car. When they
get a little money, they can't see
US for the dust when they meet US
on the street"
Another worker expressed himself
on Negro bourgeois politicians of the
republican, democratic and socialist
parties in a similar emphatic man.
ner:
81 have lived in this town for more
than 20 years and have seen these
Negro capitalist politicians come and
go. We've had Negro republican

Article 4.
By GERTRUDE HAESSLER.

When we say that the shop paper
is the organ of the Communist Party
in the shop, that implies that in
addition to educating the worker in
the knowledge and consciousness of
the class struggle, the shop paper
will also champion the worker in
MS day to day struggle in the shop
and propose immediate solutions
where they exist. There is probably
not one paper in the country which
neglects to lay due emphasis on the
after phase Of shop paper work.
Rather, as has been pointed out in
previous articles, the erring is on
The side of overemphasis and over
balance in favor of immediate de-
mands and immediate solutions.
However, whereas sufficient at
tention is given to shop conditions
and the trade union question, ex-
ception must be taken to the man.
ner in which many papers deal with
these problems. Some papers con-
Einually point out abuses in the shop,
printing item after item on various
conditions from which the workers
suffer, but fail to offer any solu-
zion of the difficulty, whether it be
the trade union, the shop commit
bee, or the ultimate solution of all
the abuses-the overthrow of the
capitalist system. To the workers

stays in the alleys until it rots-
you can smell it now-and they do
nothing about it. They don't make
any kind of fight against race dis
elimination. The only thing they
are concerned with is the graft they
get from the upstairs crap games,
buffet flats and blind pigs. They
come around on election days to tell
you how much they are going to do
for their race and when they get in
office you need a high-powered teles-
cope in order to see them"
Negro Preachers.
Another worker gave US the "low-
down" on preachers. He said that
all these preachers work for is to
get enough money to buy some old
abandoned white church and bleed
his congregation for the rest of their
lives to get it paid for. Another said
that Negro landlords were even
worse than white ones and that he
never would work any more for a
Negro boss. They think that you
ought to be ready to work for less
pay and longer hours for them just
because they are colored.
In the following articles, I will
tell about my organization expert
ences among the Negroes, their re-
spouse to our meetings, etc. Among
the many points 1 will touch on, are
the effects of our election campaign
on the Negro masses, their attitude
toward trade unions, religion and
their reaction to our Communist pro-
gram and general lessons of the
tour.

that were formerly occupied by
middle class whites in the COS or
earlier, for which they pay high
prices. Some of these Negroes, in
order to escape being segregated in
black belts, buy houses in so-called
white" neighborhoods, which is re-
sented by the exclusive" whites,
and brings about clashes which have
sometimes resulted in race riots.
The worst parts of these districts
are usually occupied by the newly
arrived Negro workers from the
South, who are forced to live in these
contested districts, paying enorm-
ously high rents for small dingy
flats. Usually the family is forced
to live IN one room and to rent out
the other rooms to dodgers. Most
of these workers earn on an average
less than $50 week, and pay rents
averaging $40 month or more for
a or room flats with almost no
modern conveniences. In order to
make this rent they are often forced
to run what is known as buffet
flats, places where they sell moon
shine and rent transient" rooms.
These houses are allowed by the
landlords to rot away and are hardly
ever kept in repair.
In most of these cities, the Negro
is disseminated against in the bet
ter class of restaurants, theatres and
other public places. The forms of
this discrimination are regulated by
local conditions in different centers.
In Pittsburgh they display quite

REORGANIZATION.

More and more Negroes are being
drawn into the industries, particu-
larly since the war, and the subse-
quent process of naturalization has
brought about the increasing mech
anization of these industries enab-
ling the industrialists to use less
skilled labor and increase their forces
of semi-skilled or unskilled workers.
This process is bringing about the
rapid proletarianization of the Negro
masses. These Negroes are usually
unorganized and are given the worst
and most dangerous jobs and paid
the lowest wages.
Every means possible is used to
keep the workers of different ma
tionalities and races divided. Among
the various nationalities, religious
differences are sharpened, and be-
tween the Negro and white workers
the question of color is emphasized.
One of the many methods used is
to make a difference in the wages of
the Negro and white workers. On
some jobs we find that the white
worker is given little more money
for the same work. This gives the
white worker feeling of superiority
over the Negro and causes him to
look upon his fellow-worker with
contempt. In many factories they
have separate locker-rooms, dressing
rooms and rest rooms for Negro
workers.
