upon religion. In a midwestern city
the writer was billed to speak at a
church. This church differed with
many churches in that the entire
membership from the pastor down
were workers. The preacher was of
the type known as "Jackleg'
preacher, type that is now disap-
pearing, one who was not a perma-
nent fixture anywhere but who goes
where he is "called" and who usu-
ally works at odd jobs during the
week and breaches on Sunday.
AS was his usual practice before
meetings, the writer visited this
place early in the afternoon to be-
come acquainted and make connec-
tons. In the pastors "study" were
couple of preachers and a few
workers, members of the congrega-
ton. They were discussing condi-
tons generally and talking about
the scarcity of work and the condi-
ton of the Negro workers. One of
these preachers said that this period
was predicted in the book of "reve-
lations" or something of that sort
and we must be like "Daniel" who
although cast into the lions den never
lost his faith in God. These work
ers told him that this was the
bunk" and that they were not in.

years ago, but wanted to know what
could be done to better their con.

reason why we asked this gentle.
man to come down here and speak
to us. What we want to know is
how to organize and fight against
these hard times and Jim Crow
conditions. My family cannot live
on the book of revelations"
Although the writer never liked to
speak in church it was sometimes
unavoidable and this meeting was
fruitful and got good organiza-
tional results.

the Organizational results of the
tour and our future prospects.

for advocating complete equality for

was convinced that our Party prac-

was told that our Party is a per-
manent organization that not only
carries on election campaigns but
organized the workers for a con

Another example of this "New

whose name will not be mentioned
for obvious reasons. Many Negro
organizations have drawn up res

vain attempt to check this vicious

effective method.
A Negro who was suspected of

Some Negroes noted this, and sus-

The
By OTTO HALL

In previous article we reported
on the general conditions of Negro
workers in Northern industrial CEN
ters, as seen by US on our recent
tour. The present article will tell
of the reaction of these workers to
these "slum" conditions.
This tour, in which all districts
were covered, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast, brought the writer
in contact with many thousands of
Negro workers in all important in
dustries in which they are allowed
to work. These workers were very
frank in expressing their opinions
regarding conditions as they saw
them.
Those of you who have been inter-
ested in the NEGRO Question" and
have been keeping up with all the
literature extant purporting to deal
with this question, have heard much
about the New Negro" who seems
to have appeared during and since
the recent world imperialist war.
And as result of this much bunk
is extant about this supposedly new
type of Negro, and many wrong i'm
pressions prevail. Many have as
sumed that the NOISY complaints"
and winnings of a certain group of
Negro intellectuals representing, as
they call it, the Cultured tenth" ex-
pressed in poetry, essays and novels,
are the "voice" of the "New Negro"
This is erroneous. These Negroes
represent only rising Negro cap
italist class who want to be taken
into the great white capitalist class
and together with them exploit all
the workers.
Modern "Uncle Toms"
There is not much that is "new"
about this Negro that they refer to
at all. Many of this type are the
same old handkerchief heads" who
have only exchanged the cotton
bandanna for a silk one. In other
words, they are the modern "Uncle
Toms" who instead of wearing the
old cotton jeans" are now appear
ing in GETAWAY" coats and stop"
hats.
The real 'New Negro" is to be
found among the workers who have
been drawn into the industries. The
consequent process of proletarian-
ization is making these workers
more and more class conscious.
Their resentment against conditions
is not expressed in loud mouthed
"vaporings" or whining pleas for
justice but by determined attempts
to organize and fight for better con-
ditions. These ''New Negroes" voted
the Communist tickes in the recent
election campaign because they were
convinced that the old bourgeois
parties do not serve workers but
capitalists. There were more of
those who voted our ticket than is
commonly known. In almost every
district where our candidates were
on the ballot. / spoke with Negro
workers who had voted our ticket.
In such out of the way places as
Spokane in the far west and mining
centers like Wheeling, w. Va, and
Triadelphia, l found Negroes who
voted for our candidates. They told
the writer that what convinced them
more than anything else of our sin
certify was the campaign we carried
on in the South.
