in the mold of society would mean
that they would be deprived of their
special concessions as eXploiters of
the workers of their race, be de-
prived of their self-glorious position
as philanthopists, humanitarians and
liberals.
When this system of segregation
and exploitation is wiped out these
petty exploiters will lose their
thrones.
On Other Side.
They like to make people think
they are liberal. But in reality, they
participate as actively as anyone in
the class struggle-on the side OPP
posed to the workers.
THE Olga Puertorriquena E. His
pana," the American Porto Rican
League, located at IS West 18th
Street, is such an organization.
A. R. Hernandez, president, makes
his living from this organization. 1t
is supposed to be a benefit society,
charging regular dues and giving
$500 in case of death and few dol
lars a week in case of sickness. Her
nandez claims that he has 1000
members.
The emergency housing situation
existing in Lower Harlem gave Her
nandez-who, it is said, has political
aspirations in coming with one of
the machines in Harlem-an oppor-
tunity to practice more posing as
humanitarian. He called a meeting
a few weeks ago to discuss the
Multiple Dwellings Bill, then on
Governor Roosevelt's desk, and the
expiration of the Emergency Rent
Laws-a discussion which was
forced by the activity of the Harlem
Tenants League during its agitation
against these measures.
Workers Talk.
Many Porto Rican and other Latin
American workers, very intimate
with the "housing emergency" at
tended this meeting. Some Latin
American workers, representing the
Harlem Tenants League were also
present.
The meeting would have ended
with a bunch of ballyhoo, and long
winded eruptions from the kind Mr..
Hernandez, if the militant Latin
American workers present did not
take matters into their own hands.
They took the floor to expose the
fake nature of the laws passed by
the state legislature, which has done
nothing in regards to housing but
pass laws for the last half century
and then forget all about them. In
no uncertain terms they showed the
true nature of the capitalist system,
which segregated the foreign and
colored workers in groups all the
better to exploit them in the factor
les and in the tenements.
Hernandez Betrays.
They summed up all this, and
more, in a resolution, which proposed
that those present at the meeting
send committee to the Harlem Ten
ants League, which has a fighting
program for workingclass tenants.
The resolution was passed unani-
mously over the heads of Hernandez
and his friends. The president see
ing that the tide threatened to drown
out his humanitarian pose, expressed
agreement with the resolution.
But now, weeks after the meeting,
that committee has not yet reported
at the office of the Harlem Tenants
League. Hernandez, working from
his office, saw to it that the commit
tee did not arrive.
A Good Talker.
WE visited Hernandez at his office.

A Good Talker.


ME visited Hernandez at his office.
T" He spoke many kind and long
phrases, lowered with the many
colored words of a typical liberal.
He talked long trying to convince us
of the beneficial services of his or
ganization, of his own charitable
heart and plentiful hand.
But finally we got him to the
crucial point. He had been telling
us of the suffering of the Porto
Ricans, how they toiled in restaurant
and laundry for miserable wages and
lived in unhabitable houses. He had
not said a word about discrimination,
of which the colored Porto Ricans
are the most frequent victims, often
forced to find their bread and butter
by the oldest trade in history.
M The Crucial Point.
But, do you not think" we asked,
"that by far the greatest difficulty
which Porto Ricans must face is the
violent prejudice instigated against
them?"
Hernandez leaned back in his
swivel chair, picking for words with
his toothpick.
Don't Talk"
WELL" he said, after considerable
hesitation, 1--WE don't talk much about
that here. 1t can't be helped. That's
the way America is. They'll just
say damn the foreigner. We might
call it the second nature of the
American"
That is his attitude. 1t cannot be
helped. It is the second nature. He
never talks about it. For to fight
against it would mean removing his
own domain of exploitation.
Hernandez is either Creole or an
Indian and it is unlikely that he
comes from Porto Rico. Working If,
his office while he was talking was
Porto Rican Negro. He listened
inten4ly and we saw him prick up
his ears when we asked the question
He told US later that he was a
discrimination cannot be removed.
He will tell them to accept it as fin
ished, unalterable, to remain cowed
behind these walls, rather than to
rise in masses and overthrow them.
