in the steps of the United Railways.
which controls the trolley service of
Baltimore, the Public Service Commits
sion will go to the Supreme Court of
the United States within the next few
days with an appeal from decision Of
the Maryland Court Of Appeals.
Last week Judge Carroll T. Bond
signed an order allowing the United to
appeal to the Supreme Court.
The United plans to appeal from the
decision of the Court of Appeals up
holding the commissions rate allow
ance, which was set to yield 626 per
cent. This allowance is confiscatory,
the United contends.
The angle of the case which will be
appealed by the commission is on the
annual depreciation allowance for the
company. The Court of Appeals in its
opinion based this allowance on replace
ment costs. while the commission fixed
the reversal of this allowance, making
it upon the original cost.

UNION TO SPLIT
LONGSHOREMEN
Farm Negroes Become
Company's Prey

GULFPORT, Miss, May 80. -
White and Negro longshoremen are
taught to hate each other by the
Standard Exporting Company in
this backwoods seaport through a
Jim Crow company union which
takes in only Negroes.
They have placed at the head OF
the company three good Negroes"
who are instructed to charge husky
farm Negroes who come to town
seeking work fee of 81 per month
and as much graft the men can pay
out of their first pay, which is less
than 81 cents per hour for loading
creosoted railroad ties from cess
pools of water where they are
dumped by the thousands from
freight flats. Each man is forced
to carry up on the ship gangplank
a heavy tie of 200 or more pounds
if he expects to stay on the job. If
he leaves before the job is finished
he is subjected to arrest for vag-
rancy by the, local tools of the
bosses.
These men are forced to eat at
a company store and pay twice or
three times more than they would
under other conditions for cash.
They are sold rotten corn whiskey
and fed stinkinor poeat
The white workers are forced to
slave at other jobs. They are de-
handing that the Jim Crow union"
be broken up, and an organization
which admits both white and Negro
workers be formed. So far the
American Federation of Labor has
neglected to organize the union.

GENERAL MOTORS URGE SUPPORT OF
ACCIDENTS CROW HARLEM TENANTS
Communists to Join the
Tenants Parade

A call for mass support of the
Harlem Tenants League in its
struggle against exhorbitant rents
was last night issued by the New
York District Office of the Com
munist Party through William W.
Weinstone, District Organizer.
"The District Executive Commit
tee of District two, calls upon the
sections to mobilize their forces in
support of the Harlem Tenants
League, against the expiration of
the emergency rent laws June 1,
1929" the statement begins.
Failure to support the League in
its struggle will be to underesti-
mate the role of the Party among
the Negro masses, who are strug-
Cling against the exhorbitant rents
which are being charged by the
landlords.
1t is the duty of the Communist
Party to support all working class
movements which tend to mobilize
the Negro and white workers to the
need of fighting to better their con-
ditions.
The membership in general is
urged to turn out en- masse between
IL and p. M, at Is W. 126th St.,
to join the Harlem Tenants League
procession which will march from Is
w. 10th st. North on Fifth Ave-,
to 135th St.; West on 135th st. to
Lenox Ave-; North on Lenox to
145th St.; West on 145th st. to
Seventh Ave; South on Seventh
to 135th St.; West to St. Nicholas,
ending with big protest mass
meeting.
All Left Wing trade unions and
sympathetic organizations are urged
to support the Harlem Tenants
League by joining the mass protest
demonstration with banners of their
organizations, pledging their sup
port with the tenants of Harlem.
The Harlem Tenants League is
working class organization which
fights for the interests not only of
Negro tenants, but for all working
class tenants.-District Organizer,
Dist. 2, William W. Weinstone.
The District Negro Committee of
District 2 calls upon all unemployed
comrades to report at the District
Office, Room 2O2, today to carry out
important Party work of the Dis
trict.
