The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-08-27
BY JOHN STEELE

AS the class struggle sharpens
the National Guard together with all
CT the armed forces of the capitalist
class will play an ever increasing
role.
Due to the fact that in the past
the National Guard has seldom
proven a trustworthy (for the cap
italists) weapon and has refused to
turn its guns upon the workers as
in New Bedford and in Gastonia, the
military cars are making strenu-
Gus efforts to convert the Guard
into more reliable machine of sup
preston.
They do this by bringing econ
omic pressure to bear upon the in
dividual members of the guard fore
ing the most exploited sections Of
the working youth out and filling
their places with Electromagnetic
students and workers from the ranks
of the labor aristocracy who have a
few dollars pocket money and are
able to buy tailor-made uniforms
and otherwise meet the outrageous
demands put upon their pocket books
by the officers.
From time to time the Daily
Worker has published accounts of
such robberies where the Guardsmen
are being deprived of their pay as
guardsmen and often portion of
their earnings as workers. A.
The Communist Party ha So ire
mendous role to play in exposing
these robberies and organizing the
guardsmen against them.
This must be done by a careful
and systematic study Of the condi-
tions in the different units and u.s.
ing them as an approach to the men
to lead up to political demands.

fight will therefore have to be con-
Quoted on several fronts,-- against
the bosses, the labor betrayers, and
the Negro misleaders who can al
ways be bought out with a hand
shake and few dollars.
Allies for the Struggle.
The question is, who will be our
allies in the struggle? These will
be found among the advanced white
workers who recognize that as long
as the workingclass is divided into
Jew and gentle, Negro and white,
native and foreign-born. catholic
and protestant, the employers will
always get the, better of the strug-
gle by playing one group against
the other. Prejudices have to be
abolished if success is to be attained
by the workers. .--
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-08-27
The Trade Unity Convention and the

in the union for Negro and white
alike. AS against this policy we
find the United Textile Workers
Union controlled by the A. F. of L.
and the socialists, openly refused to
admit the Negro textile workers.
Both Green and McGrady have pub
licly promised the white business
men of Dixie not to raise the ques-
ton of organizing the Negroes for
fear that it would offend the
southern ruling class who look upon
the Negro, even more so than the
poor whites, as their special prop
erty to be exploited without inter-
ference.
In every A. F. of L. union where
the left wingers have dared to raise
their voices in protest against the
policy of racial discrimination, they
have been expelled as REDS" mig
ger lovers" 1t is important that
the Negro workers note this; for
expulsion for advocating equality
and fair play for the Negro workers
is one of the best testimonies of
the sincerity and militancy of the
left wing leadership.
In view of this situation, it is
little wonder that the American
workers are today finding their
standard of living getting worse and
wee.
The Cleveland Convention pledges
itself to take steps to fight against
this shameful state Of affairs, and
calls upon all the workers, especially
the Negroes, the most oppressed
section of the working class to join
in creating new unions and Trade
Union Center, under a genuine
revolutionary and fighting left wing
leadership.
In the struggles of the working
class there will be several obstacles
to overcome, especially on the part
of the Negroes. On the one hand,
they will have to unite with the
class conscious white workers to
wage a mercielss fight against
white chauvinism, remnants of
which will try to assert itself even
in the left wing unions; and on the
other hand, the treacherous, syco-
phantic role of the petty-bourgeois,
"Uncle Tom" Negroes who will at
tempt to discourage the colored
workers from joining in the soli-
darity with the left wing trade
unionists. These Negro lickspittles
are to be found largely in the ranks
of preachers who prey upon the toll
of the workers in return for doses
of religious bunk about "pie in the
sky by and by; republican and
democratic politicians, lawyers and
newspaper editors, who with hat in
hand are never tired selling their
race to the political bosses in re-
turn for small favors; college pro-
fessors and other so-called "high-
brow" Negroes, who barter and
compromise the fundamental politi-
cal and social rights Of the Negro
masses to the white capitalist op-
pressors in order that they might
maintain their servile middle-class
position in society.
Negro workers must begin to ex-
pose these Judases, and fight
against their leadership as reso-
lutely as we will have to do against
the A. F. of L., TIE Musties, the so
cialists and other labor takers. Our

What we want to know is, what
has become of those white folks who
a few months ago were condemnlng
religious bigotry and race prejudice
because some people we're condemn
ing the great Alfred E. Smith for
being a Roman Catholic and on
Irishman. Many of them may now
be observed as being first and fore
most in advocating race prejudice
against the Negro and paying no at
tention whatsoever to his plea for
fair play and justice.
A Negro Democrat has no more
influence than q Negro Republican
these days, and we are dumfouudci
to observe how quickly this party
affinity between the races has
broken down Brethren, whether he
be a Republican or q Democrat,
Negro-hater cannot "stand the gatY -
when it comes to the ridicule at
tachod to his associating with even
a respectable Negro.
The colored folks are getting
away from the white folks as far
as they possibly can and they will
continue to perform this kind of SER
vice. Let us live in peace down
here.

"a DIVERSION, NOT A DEFEAT"

The Richmond, Va, News-Leader,
under the caption, "a Diversion, Not
a Defeat" says:
Because the segregation ordi-
nance represents the wrong way of
securing racial separation, the
measure passed last night by the
Board of Aldermen should and will
be contested in the courts"
This is a positive statement, COM
ing from liberal white sources, and
it indicates that the gentlemen who
have trifed with Richmond's friend
ly relations between the races will
yet have "a Roland for their Oliver"
especially in view of the fact that
all that they have been clamoring
for can be obtained in civic and
economic way without stirring up
racial antagonists and arousing the
most dangerous traits in both races.
1t says further:
"The contest should be direct and
as brief as practicable, in order that
resentments may not be inflamed, or
unreasoning citation created by the
ultimate invalidation of the ordi-
nance after a bitter, protracted con-
test. If the statute providing for
declaratory DEGREES will apply in this
instance = which is doubtful - it
should certainly be invoked. If the
statute does not apply, regular pro-
ceedings should be expedited.
"The contest, moreover, ought to
be a local affair, instituted by Rich
mond people and handled by Rich
mond lawyers. 1t is bad enough to
have a dispute of this kind; it would
be still worse to have it aggravated
by the coming of outside lawyers
who make business of capitalizing
race prejudices. Richmond Negroes
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1929-02-16

NAV be sure that they will find some
of the ablest Of Richmond lawyers
convinced of the unconstitutionality
of the ordinance and willing to as
sail it. These lawyers share the be-
lief of thousands of people that
when this measure is Cancelled by the
courts, Richmond will find better
method of providing for racial sepa-
ration"
The above declaration is not only
common sense, but, in the language
of our forefathers, it is more than
that, it is "horse sense" The fol-
lowing will give the sensible citizen
of color hope:
ALREADY the discussion has had
the effect of bringing even the least
sympathetic of Richmond people to
realize that the city has not been
doing Justice to the Negro districts
in sanitation and in street improve
ment. When the City Council finds
that it cannot set up black ghetto
under the constitution, the members
of that body will tackle seriously the
question of making the Negro dis.
tricts decently habitable, and will
open up new quarters for the grow
ing colOred population.
"The ordinance is not a defeat for
better race relationship; it is simply
a diversion"
This reminds us Of statement
made by a white citizen, who said
that an African Egyptian, "as black
as the ace of spades, is said to be-
long to the white race and man
from Jackson Ward whose complex
ion is "as fair as a lily is said to
belong to the Negro race. Let the
colored folks mark time, retain their
organizations intact and see what
they shall see. MARK time" should
be the watchword. The white folks
seem about to fight out this battle
among themselves.
When they are through and the re-
suits are not satisfactory, it will be
time enough for our leaders to give
us marching orders. Let us avoid
insulting expressions, counsel con-
servatism and await developments.
