1t would perhaps be well, when
President Hoover finally selects
his law enforcement commission,
to have that body begin its in
vestigation right at the White
House.
At the conclusion Of the usual
Friday press conference with the
President, attended by about 100
newspaper men, an attache picked
up slip of paper from the floor
of Mr.. Hoover's office which bore
the following notation:
"One-half vermouth, one-half gin,
two dashes creme de menthe."
Apparently it had been dropped
by one of the gentlemen Of the
press, or some other visitor.
There were loud disclaimers from
the press room to the effect no
reporter has enough money to
purchase creme de menthe now

(Vicc- President of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union.)

Under the leadership of the Left
wingers, race prejudice has been
completely abolished in the Needle
trades Industrial Union, which in
Guides IN its membership large num-
bers of colored people of various
nationalities. This new union wages
a militant struggle against race dis
elimination and although it was
formed only short while ago, the
effects of its policies are already
being felt among the colored work
ers in the shops. This is not the
policy of such unions as the yellow
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers, that are under the control of
the A. F. of L. In these unions
lace prejudice and race discrimina-
ton are encouraged because they
serve the Bosses to keep the work
ers in constant struggle against
each other and thus help the bosses
to keep all the workers in slavery.
The new needle trades union was
.sorned with sore Negro workers
laying an active part in the con-
vention ne well as in filling some
e tie i:ignest positions il the union.

NO RACE PREJUDICE IN
NEEDLE TRADES UNION

Wednesday, February 6, the first
strike of this new union, a great
number of Negroes have been mill
family active in it. Over 40 of them
have joined the Strike and Picket
Committees; one of them is a MEM
Der of the Strike Finance Commit
tee, and another is member of the
Joint Board.
During the strike I have been
around and have spoken to many
of the strikers: Marie Franklin,
Edith Brown, Edna Kemp, Matte
Brian, Louise Martin, Eva Mayo,
Laura Smith, and many others. They
all said that they were treated roy
ally by the leaders and the white
strikers in the halls and elsewhere.
The four last ones mentioned went
back to work, they being strikers
from shops that have signed the
agreement concluded by the new
union. These colored girls stated
that they will do their very best to
support the union and also see that
their parents and friends who are in
the trade join this union--the Nee
die Trades Workers Industrial
Union of the U. S. A.-the only one
in the trade that really fights for
the interests of the workers, not
only white, but colored as well.

Especial to the Daily Worker)

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Feb. 81
Although the Bellingham Central
Labor Council has a weekly news
paper, and that newspaper is called
"The Labor World" that must not
be taken as evidence that the coun-
ell or its official organ has any par
ticular interest in advancing the
cause of labor. To arrive at such
a conclusion would be very much
of a mistake.
For example, in the issue of Feb
ruary 20, the so-called Labor
World" has, as its leading editorial,
a plea entitled Help Coal Company
To Increase Sales" which quotes the
officials of the local mine company
as declaring that Bellingham could
use more coal than it does if the
citizenry really wanted to "encour-
age local industry"
Evidently, the Bellingham work.
crs, having attained all they can
possibly desire in wages, hours and
conditions, have no need for consid-
Grafton by the Central Labor Coun-
Gil, which has its hands free there
fore, to improve the conditions for
the bosses for which these happy
foilers deign to devote their time.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-03-01

In most places, as we can see by
the figures, the petty-bourgeois
counts for very little. On the one
hand we have huge landowners, big
bourgeoisie generally; on the other
hand we have the city and country
workers. The class struggle stands
out in all it's nakedness. The city
worker is little bit better off than
the country worker. He gets on the
average 50 per day for 10 hours
work. The agricultural worker
works IL hours for IS cents to 81
day. When we consider that the
cost of the most meager subsistence
is minimum of $1.50 day for
family of 8, then we can appreciate
truly the terrible restitution that
prevails.
In the countryside it is really
peonage. On the hacienda (big
estates) there are company stores,
and no other goods are allowed to
be sold. In these company stores
the masses are fleeced mercilessly,
and are perpetually kept in debt and
bondage. The situation is worsened
today by the fact of the great I'M
employment. On the sugar fields,
while the usual time for cutting
cane is 6 months, last year it was
only Is days. This has increased
the misery of the population.
The Machado government Is be-
coming typical fascist government,
I mean not in the sense that every
form of reaction is fascism, but in
the purer sense that the methods Of
Machado government are similar to
the methods Of the other typical fas-
cist government. In the beginning,
in 1925, Machado sailed under the
banner of nationalism, and with
LEFT" phraseology, to fool the
masses into believing that he would

(a) To of growth OF power of

By PAUL BOUTONIER.
(Translated by Valentino V. Konin
from PHumanite.)

The soldiers and the striking min
ers have fraternized in Grand'combe.
The miners fed the undernourished
soldiers. The soldiers helped the
miners to carry out their class duty.
Both have realized once more that
their interests are identical.
Not a single farmer, not single
worker, not a soldier or sailor can
remain indifferent to the news of
such an event.
At the time when the class strug-
gle is sharpening, when the imper-
ialists are feverishly preparing
arms for new massacres, when the
bourgeois diplomats are plotting a
cowardly attack upon Soviet Russia,
this act of determination between
the miners and the artillery of Gard
serves as a magnificent prelude to
the future revolutionary armies
battling with capitalism.
Shameful Exploitation.
On the boats and in the barracks
discomfort is obviously arising. The
shamefully exploited and half
starved sons of workers and peas
ants in the army are offering a
growing resistance to the militarism
of their exploiters.
But the repression against them
RACES with more strength every day.
Recently on the boat "Jules Mich
elet" a group Of sailors were shot
to death because one of the origin
ators of the miners strike was
among them. In one of the artil-
