Communists Ref ute
Slander That Williams
Has Been Repudiated

The Negro Department Of the
Communist Party issued a state-
ment denouncing the slanderous
statement of the capitalist press
that Harold Williams, Negro
Communist, was not representing
the Party at the meeting last Thurs
day at Stone and Pitkins Ave- The
meeting was attacked by Zionists
and broken up by the police.
The statement says: Harold
Williams of the Communist Party
was officially assigned to speak at
this meeting. We are not surprised
at the reports of the capitalist
press, in their reference to the fact
that the Communist Party repudi-
ated Williams alleged connections.
This only proves that the bourgeois
press will stoop to anything in or
der to Justify their leadership ove-
the masses of people, to claim that
it is impossible for black and white
Communists to assemble together
in fighting for one common cause,
the annihilation Of the present sys-
tenn Of capitalist. oppression.
business Mems Press.
These same papers are owned
and controlled by big business men,
such as real estate, landlords, etc.
Naturally, the workers of America,
black and white. cannot expect to
get justice at the hands of these

class fundamentally oppose the
other, ard can expect the truth only
from such papers as the Daily
