%. The Party must apply united
front tactics for specific demands to
the existing Negro petty bourgeois
organizations. The purpose of these
united front tactics should be the
modifying of the Negro masses I'M
der the leadership of the Party, and
to expose the treacherous petty
bourgeois leadership of those organi-
cations.
"a. The Negro Miners Relief
Committee and the Harlem Tenants
League are examples of joint Or
CARNATIONS of action which may
serve as a means of drawing the
Negro masses into struggle. In
every case the utmost effort must be
made to combine the struggle OF
the Negro workers with the strug-
gle of the white workers, and to
draw the white workers organlza-
tions into such joint campaigns.
Is. In order to reach the bulk OF
the Negro masses, special attention
should be paid to the work among
the Negroes in the South. For that
purpose, the Party should establish
a district organization in the most
suitable locality in the South. Whilst
continuing trade union work among
the Negro workers and the agricul

white unions. At the same time,
however, the struggles for the in
clusion of Negro workers in the eX-
isting unions must be intensified and
concentrated upon, special attention
must be given to those unions in
which the statutes and rules set up
special limitations against the adj
mission OF Negro workers. Primary
duty of Communist Party in this
connection is to wage a merciless
struggle against the A. F. Of l..
bureaucracy, which prevents the Ne
gro workers from joining the white
workers unions. The organization
of special trade unions for the Ne
gro masses must be carried cut as
part and parcel of the struggle
against the restrictions imposed
upon the Negro workers and for
their admission to the white work
ers' unions. The creation OF sepa-
rate Negro unions should in no way
weaken the struggle in the old
unions for the admission of Negroes
on equal terms. Every effort must
be made to see that all the new
unions organized by the Left wing
and by the Communist Party should
embrace the workers of all nation
alities and of all races. The prin-
ciple of one union for all workers
in each industry, white and black
should cease to be mere slogan Of
propaganda, and must become a slo'
gan Of action.

William z. Foster:
Dear Comrade :-Since l came to
District 10, California, l have never
attended one caucus of either side
in the Party controversy surely
cannot be called fractional"
T have attended D. E. c., Sub
district and Polcom meetings, and
can truthfully say that it IS the
most bitterly personal and factional
district that I have ever known.
This, however, does not influence
me one way or another in writing
what am now writing to you.
I wrote a statement to the Pol
com and one to the Daily Worker,
otherwise I have not made any
statements.
To you, personally, address this
letter.
For years, even since the conven-
ton in which we defeated the Pep
per Thesis, I have, as you know,
adhered absolutely to your side OF
all Party controversies and still
believe your leadership in our in
dustrial struggles with their polit-
heal background was good leader

troversy, on account of the Trotsky

is to withdraw your opposition TO

and all forms Of national and racial
oppression. Special stress must be
laid upon organizing active resist
;.nce against lynching, Jim Crowism,
segregation and all other forms of
oppression of the Negro population.
6. All ok among the Negroes,
as we'll le struggle for the Ne
gro caus mong the whites, must
be used, BASED upon the changes
which have taken place in the re-
latonship of classes among the Ne
gro population. The existence of a
Negro industrial proletariat Of al
most two million workers makes it
imperative that the main emphasis
should be placed on these new pro-
letarian forces. The Negro work
ers must be organized under the
leadership of the Communist Party,
and thrown into joint struggle to-
gether with the white workers. The

will the Party be able to draw into
its ranks the most active and consci-
Gus Negro workers-men and women
and to increase its influence in
those Intermediary organizations
which are necessary for the mobiliza-
ton of the Negro masses in the
struggle against segregation, lynch
ing, Jim Crowism, etc. &
81. In the present struggle in
the mining industry, the Negro
workers participate actively and in
large numbers. The. leading role
the Party played in this struggle
has helped greatly to increase its
prestige. Nevertheless, the special
efforts being made by the Party in
the work among the Negro strik-
ers cannot be considered as ade-
quate. The Party did not send
enough Negro organizers into the
coalfields, and it did not sufficiently
attempt, in the first stages of the
fight, to develop the most able
Negro strikers and to place them IN
leading positions. The Party must
be especially criticized for its fail
ure to put Negro workers on the
Presidium of the Pittsburgh Miners
Conference, doing so only after such
representation was demanded by the
Negroes themselves.
%. In the work among the
Negroes, special attention should be
paid to the role played by the
churches and preachers who are
acting on behalf of American inn
peri. lism. The Party must conduct
continuous and carefully worked
out campaign among the Negro mas
ses, sharpened primarily against the
preachers and the churchmen, who
are the agents of the oppressors OF
! the Negro race.

Necessary Conditions for National Revolutionary Movement

a. 1t is the duty of the Negro
workers to organize through the
mobilization of the broad masses of
the Negro population the struggle
Of the agricultural laborers and ten
ant farmers against all forms of
semi-feudal oppression. On the other
hand, it is the duty Of the Commu-
mist Party of the U. S. A. to mob
ilize and rally the broad masses of
the white workers for active par
ticipation in this struggle. For that
reason the Party must consider the
beginning of systematic work in the
south as one of its main tasks, hav-
ing regard for the fact that the
bringing together of the workers
and toiling masses of all nat;onali-
ties for a joint struggle against the
landowners and the bourgeoisie is one
of the most important aims Of the
Communist International, as laid
down in the resolutions on the ma
tional and colonial question Of the
Second and Sixth Congresses of the
| Comintern.

S. To accomplish this task, the
communist Party must come out as
he champion of the right OF the OPP
PRESSED Negro race for full eman-
,ipation. While continuing and in
ensifying the struggle under the
logan Of full social and political
EQUALITY for the Negroes, which
must remain the central slogan OF

masses. the Party must come out
openly and unreservedly for the
light of the Negroes to national
self-determination in the southern
states. where the Negroes form a
majority Of the population. The
struggle for equal rights and the
propaganda for the slogan Of self
determination must be linked up
with the economic demands of the
Negro masses, especially those di-
rected against the slave remnants

New York, Oct. 9 LP-A device for which countless mothers have sighed that might be used for junior to read on q gauge when he has his neck clean, is on exhibition today at the national electrical exposition.
 It is a representative chemical eye, shown by the New York musc- ums of the peaceful arts. The eye" is a small tube standing alongside dial, both occupying barely a square foot of space.

 The eye transforms reflected light directly into electricity, which swings an arrow across the dial face.
