Communists IN
Fight for Negro
Terror Victims
Bosses Incite Outrages
in Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 15.-The
rising militancy among the Negro
workers throughout the country,
and in Baltimore particularly, has
caused the open shop bosses who
bitterly exploit the Negro workers,
to get into action all their forces
of terror. AS result reign of
terror against Negro workers here
has been going on in the past week,
as part of the bosses scheme to
keep the Negro workers militancy
down.
Last Sunday the house of William
Oling, a Negro living at 779 w.
Lexington ST., was set afire at 8
o'clock in the morning by members
of the Ku Klux Klan and other tools
of the bosses
A note was found in front of the
Oling home, reaGing, "Move out be-
fore you're blown out" Oling's is
the only Negro family living on the
700 block of w. Lexington st.
On the night of November 13 the
family of William Lee, a Negro,
was driven out of so-called white
block" Windows and doors in
Lees home at 1852 Asquith St..
were smashed by the terrorists.
Lees family was forced to move out
at 10 o'clock at night.
The big bosses here have long
been attempting to incite a spirit
of race hatred in the white workers

Lay Off 1000
at Gen. Electric,
10000 at Ford
Workers Reports Give
Lie to prosperity"

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, ,eNov. Is
The General Electric plant, nor
mally employing $4,000 unorgan-
lied workers, is laying men off by
the thousands. Yesterday an an
nouncement was made that between
5000 and 1000 General Electric
workers would be laid off in the
very near future. The announce
ment came from the company's
main office.
A large crowd of workers waiting
for employment before the General
Electric employment office were
told by the hiring agent that the
company would hire no more men
until next summer at the earliest.
The situation is even worse at the
American Locomotive Works.
The local press does not print a
word about the mass unemployment
in this city and the important steel
centers around it, such as Lacka-
wanna, etc. The Communist Party
is laying plans for broad organiza-
tional work among the unemployed,
and is preparing concrete demands
for relief.
DETROIT, Mich, Nov. Ia -
Thirty thousand or more men laid
off with the prospect of several
thousand more-this is the record
of the Ford Motor Company in the
past month or so.
The Ford plants are operating but
two to five days week, just as
parts are needed by Ford.
A complete lay-off of the, work
ers at the Packard auto plant is be-
ing planned, the plan being carried
out in gradual steps. Within two
weeks 20 per cent of all Packard
auto workers will have been laid
off, and the plant will operate four
day a week then.

The quarantine placed on Florida by the federal
government In its efforts to stamp out the Medtier-
rsnean fruit fly has seemed so stringent as to be al
most more than the growers Of that muchly distressed
state could bear-yet the regulations have been in
sufficient to prevent spread Of the pest.
Several weeks ago the fly was found in a car Of
oranges which had been shipped from Florida to New
Orleans. The fruit was destroyed and the car fumi-
gated and Louisiana Immediately declared a drastic
quarantine against Florida products.
Now larvae Of the Mediterranean fruit fy have
been discovered in grapefruit shipped from Florida TO
Dallas. This brings the dread pest within the bor-
ders Of the home state and makes II q direct menace
TO the citrus industry Of Texas.
George B. Terrell, state commissioner OF agricul-
ture, has ordered all field men Of the department into
the larger cities Of Texas to seek for the fly until It
has been definitely determined that no specimens have
escaped from the Florida fruit already sold In this
state.
The inspection which unearthed the infestation at
Dallas had its ~inseption in Brownsville. Two boxes
of Florida fruit were found on sale in the city market
here. As soon as 1t was discovered 1t was reported to
Commissioner Terrell by wire and he that day dis
patched inspectors to every locality in Texas wnere
FLORIDA citrus was known to be stored.
In the state where the fly first was discovered, the
quarantine regulations have proved insufficient TO
stop the spread Of the pest. AT first the known in
tested area covered only two counties and a part OF q
third. Now the infested area extends 200 miles
through the heart Of the agricultural section in q strip
10 miles wide. The spread has been brought about
largely through shipments OF fruit being made from
the infested section Of the state to the u~ninfested Sec
ton, q correspondent writes.
. In the face OF these facts 1t now appears that the
United States department Of agriculture erred IN not
declaring an absolute embargo against Florida and
ordering all citrus and host fruits and vegetables de-
stroyed. This would have entailed an enormous loss
but the government could well have paid for the pro-
duce thus destroyed In order to prevent endangering
the fruit and vegetable growing industry all over the
country.
1t is too late for this now, but surely the continual
spread Of the fly viii indicate to federal authorities
that there Is need for a drastic tightening Of the reg
ulations In some manner.
