Section of Statement

tConttnAed from Pdge One)
a large scale, creating a real
proletarian element, gives us
h"tter basis for actual organiza-
tional activities. With the indus
trializaton of the South, large
numbers of Negroes have left the
plantations for urban centers and
are engaged in the various indus
tries. While we must pay imme-
date attention to organizing the
Negroes in the industrial centers
of the South, we must bear in
mind that the overwhelming ma
jority of Negroes are still on the
land. We must realize that the
bulk of them are tenant farmers,
share troopers, farm laborers and
poems.
We have entirely neglected to
do any work among the Negro
farmers, and yet here is a very
important field for activity that
must be tackled at once. The
ruthless exploitation and persecu-
ton of the Negro masses in the
South, the lynching, segregation
and disfranchisement which they
suffer, make possible the forma-
ton of an agrarian movement
which might take on the charac-
teristics of a race movement. In
such developments it will be our
task to see to it that the new
proletarian elements in the urban
centers and the semi proletarians
on the land are the driving force
in these movements in order to
give them a working class leader
ship.
We have the following tasks
facing our Party in it's Negro
work:
l. The Party must Immediate
ly launch general organization
drive for Negro membership.
2. We must Immediately begin
the training of cadres of Negro
Communists.
8. A strong theological cam
paign must be carried on thruout
the Party against white chauvin-
ism.
a. A campaign to organize the
unorganized Negro workers in
trade unions and campaign to
break down the color bar in the
old unions must be launched.
5. Organization work in the
South must be started immediate
ly; concrete program to organ
ize the Negro farmers must be
worked out.
6. The American Negro Labor
Congress must be activized;
preparations must be made to call
another convention of the ANLC
as soon as possible.
z. After careful preparation a
race congress should be called.
s. The entire Party must be
modified behind the Negro Cham
pion.
9. Increased activities must be
started among the Negroes,
women, youth and children.
10. The Negro problem must
be part of all Party campaigns
and of its auxiliary organizations.
II. The Negro masses must
be modified against the war dan
ger and against imperialist at
tacks upon the Soviet Union. The
Negro press, among other means,
must be utilized to the fullest
possible extent for this purpose.

FROM May to June 1908, the Kara
georgevitch dynasty was climb
ing the bloody steps of the royal
throne of Serbia. King Alexander,
his wife, and the Queen Draga of
the Obrenovitch family, accused of
practising the policy of Austo- Hun
garian oppressors, had been stran-
gled in their beds.
Two men had perpetrated the
crime which upset all Europe even
at the hour when the old Ottoman
Empire was approaching the last
phase of its decline. One of these
men, Dragoutine Dmietrievitch call
ed himself Apis; the other one car
ried the name of Peter Jivkovitch.
The latter is now the president of
the Yugoslavian council--a true mas
ter of the Belgrade dictatorship; the
former was assassinated by his old
accomplices in tragic circumstances
which are we'll to recall.
"Black Hand"
A few years after the nocturnal
drama which gave the Karageorge-
witches the opportunity to wear the
royal crown, Jivkovitch and Apis re-
united with their followers. They
constituted the famous organization
known as the BLACK Hand" whose
members swore by their swords and

struggle for the great Serbia, that
is the Union of all Serbs, Croats,
Macedonians and Albanians under
the rule of the King of Belgrade.
But the terrorist officials of the
BLACK Hand" found formidable ri
walls in the Serbian political machine.
The radical members of parliament
under the leadership of Patchitch
and the prevaricating functionaries
in the provinces did not tolerate the
influence of the military caste. All
the more SO, since the radical poll
ticians were enjoying the almighty
protection of the Russian imperialist
court and it's minister in Belgrade.
The tension almost degenerated at
one time into civil war. However,
the patriots and the officials of the
"Black Hand" in collaboration with
the Russian military at.ache, Arta-
manoff, agreed to carry out on june
2Sth, 1914, the crime Of Sarajevo
out of which the war began.
Murder Of Archduke.
Then came the memorable day OF

The selection of his cabinet Off
GERS by President Hoover is an
event which is arousing consider
able anxiety among the Negro re-
publican "leaders" who are expect

Of these hirelings of the republican

The most prominent Negroes men,

was led by Robert R. Motion, prin-

"Colored Division" of the party dur

Anxious to appease the more rad

BUTTER SUBSTITUTE
BILL IS CONSIDERED

Arguments on the proposal to es-
tablish a license tax on the sale of
oleomargarine in North Dakota were
heard by the senate state affairs
committee today.
DR.. j. S. Abbott of Washington, D.
c., secretary of the margarine manu-
facturer's institute of America; w.
S. Powell. Fargo, secretary of the
North Dakota Retail Dealers Asso-
citation, and j. H. Kennedy. Fargo
jobber, appeared against the bill.
Dairymen of the state, who are
advocating the measure, were repre-
sented by Attorney John Sullivan of
Mandan.
Sullivan admitted that the bill is
designed to promote and increase the
consumption Of butter and, if not to
raise butter prices, to maintain them
at the present level.
Abbott and others contended that
passage of the bill would work q
hardship on poor persons who cannot
afford to buy butter but who can
buy margarine because it is cheaper
in price.

Call for a Nonpartisan convention
to onsider the condition of that po-
litica1 faction was issued here yes
terday by r. w. Frazier Of Crosby
and Fred Argast of Moffit as men,
bers Of the Nonpartisan executive
committee.
The convention call, announced by
Argast. follows:
with the closing days of the
twenty-first legislative session at
hand, conditions have arisen that
make it imperative that some kind
of future organization be formulated
at once.
"The expense of regularly called
convention making that course pro-
hibitive. we find it necessary to re-
quest that elected delegates to the
last state convention and other rep
resentative members of the League
throughout the state who are able to
spend the necessary time and money,
come to Bismarck and meet with the
League members of the legislature
at an informal convention in Patter-
son Hall, Bismarck, at 10 o'clock
a. ~, Sunday, March 3, 1929"

mixes FUN
With LUNCHEON AS
REGULARS PARADE
Members Who Attend 100 per
Cent Made Butts Of Satire
by Judge Nuessle

The Rotary luncheon, at noon to-
day. ran somewhat to jollity. The
big stunt was to line up 10 members
who have been attending SO religious
ly as to create 100 per cent record.
They stood rather proudly before the
club. their chests thrust out, heels
together and toes at IS degrees. when
Judge Nucssle was called on to pay
tribute to their merit.
Instead. the judge gave them a
humorous raking for coming oftener
than those who cannot always be
present. thus getting more luncheons
than their buster and less fortunate
mates. With all the gravity that
goes with a bench decision In the
supreme court, the judge scored them,
while the club grinned in glee to his
merry quips.

ham, Henry Duemeland, Myron At
kinson. J. p. Jackson, DR.. G. A. Raw
lings. Kelly Simonson. L. X. Thomp-
son, Roy Towne, Jason Wait and Bir-
lea Ward.
Some more thrusts were made by
Chairman Burt Finney when 1t came
to put on substitute feature by j. c..
Taylor for one that had been sched-
uled but couldn't be given today. The
substitute was a tWo-reel picture Of
combine, windrower and pick

PEELED to post a IS bill as forfeit II

HUGHES FOR $4,000
Charges He Was LibeIed When
Accused Of Violating
Oath Of Office

F. e. McCurdy. former Burleigh
county states attorney. has begun
suit for $4,000 damages against
Edmond A. Hughes, local capitalist.
McCurdy charges that he was libel
c. Jan. II when the defendant init
ated disbarment proceedings against
him and caused references to the
proceedings to be published In the
Bismarck Tribune and by the Associ-
ated Press and broadcast over radio
station KFYR. @
He is asking $4,000 actual damages
and $4,000 exemplary and punitive
damages.
Hughes filed a complaint charging
McCurdy with abandoning the inter-
ests of his clients in the Patterson tax
case with the state bar board Jan. L.
McCurdy charges that Hughes &C
cused him of violating his oath and
integrity as an attorney at law by
selling out his clients. He says the
defendant intended to cause the gen.
eral public to believe that he, Nc
Curdy, was dishonest and unfaithful
to his trust as an attorney.
He further charges that the pub
lication was false and defamatory
and was made maliciously and with
full knowledge on the part Of Hughes
that it was false.
Hughes. when he learned Of the
suit yesterday. said that he welcomed
the action and desired that the case
be brought to trial as expeditiously as
possible.
Hughes has retained O'Hare, Cox
and Cox as legal counsel. It is be-
lieved McCurdy himself will represent
his case in court.

an initiated measure without directly
arr ::ding the initiated measure.
Twichell Cites Difference

amending the initiated measure.
Twichell Cites Difference
The Horner bill concerned money
to be turned back to the counties and
not money to 60 to the state, and is
therefore different from the initiated
measure, Twichell responded.
H. F. Horner. Cass county, author
Of the bill, urged Its passage on the
grounds that if similar bill rasscd
by the senate is killed by the house.
this bill would still be left for con-
sideration by the senate.
Objection to the bill to create a
state superintendent of criminal iden-
LITIGATION was based chiefly on the
fact that it would provide salary and
office expenses Of the superintendent
out of the Irvine and cordage operat-
ing fund of the state prison rather
than out of the state prison revolving
fund. o. E. Erickson. Kidder county.
and Albert Van Berkom. Burke
county, opposed the bill.
George Aljets, Wells county, sug-
gested appointment OF the superin-
tendent by the prison warden rather
than by the governor in order to
avoid possible conflict between the
superintendent and warden. Twich-
ell maintained that the identifica-
ton department would be separate
department and that the appoint
nent could not logically be in the
hands OF the warden
Fight County Seat Bill
J. H. McCay, Sioux county. fought
the committee amendment to his bill
for right to move the county seat Of
Sioux county by majority vote. The
amendme- t sought to require all
counties in the state, whether or not
their county seat is located on rail-
road, to move their county seat only
by two-thirds vote
McCay Contended that the amend
ment was entirely contrary to his
purpose in introducing the bill and
that it would work hardship on
the four counties Of the state which
now have right to move their
county seats by majority vote. The
amendment was approved In the
committee of the whole, however, by
a STAG vote.
G. Sax. Mckenzie county, opposed
the amended bill upon its appearance
on the calendar for final passage.
He asked the house why it should
penalize four counties Of the state
because one county wanted to be
placed in the same class with them.
His motion for indefinite postpone
ment of the bill was carried 1888.
