Workers Fight Yellow
Dog and Fakers

CHICAGO, Nov. 18.-The Asso-
citation of Millinery Manufacturers
of Chicago, demanding that the
workers sign a yellow dog contract
renouncing their right to organize
has locked out every worker refus-
ing to sign the agreement.
The so-called Cap and Millinery
Union, the scab agency of Zaritsky
which ruined the women's millinery
local here and broke the strike OF
the workers of the Richard Maiel
shop, is pretending to fight the
bosses latest move, but its past sell
out record is keeping the workers
wide awake to the takers purpose
to make deal with the bosses.
The Needle Trades Workers In.
dustrial Union, Chicago section, has
called ON the millinery workers to
fight the schemes of both their enc
mies-the bosses yellow dog plar
and the betrayal being planned by
the Zaritsky gang. The Industrial
Union has called on the locked out
union workers to strike.

The A. F. of L. policy was sharply

'Mr. John Mcfarland is follow

A new view of immortality is
Thunder in the Air" by Robins
Miller, associate editor of the Glas-
gov Evening News now playing at
the Forty-ninth Street Theatre.
While fundamentally the ideas ex-
pounded are ridiculous, yet they are
unique to the extent of being odd
entertainment. If the poison Of inn
morality that the play presents is
ignored it can be labeled an above
the average play, altho the acting
on the second night was not quite as
even as it should have been.
The play opens in the living room
of Major Vexted's house outside
London. 1t is an evening late in
spring at the present time. There
have been seances of an amateur
variety and out of them has come
the Rennie Vexted, who like many
Of his fellows gave up his life in
the war "to make the world safe

A thunderstorm is brewing when
Rennie appears. He enters the din

Negro, White Workers
Mark USSR 18th Year
in Washington, d. C.

WASHINGTON, D. c. (By MaiN.
The twelfth anniversary of the
Russian Revolution was celebrated
in Washington on the evening of
Tuesday Nov. u, at Pythian Hall,
under the auspices of the Commu-
mist Party of America, and was a
tremendous success. Over $50 Ne
gro and white workers, as we'll as
a large number of Negro students
Of the Howard University attended
and joined in the celebration.
The meeting began at $50 p. m.
sharp under the chairmanship of
George Padmore of the American
Negro Labor Congress, who out
lined the purpose Of the celebration,
and called upon the Negro and white
workers to unite together under the
banner of the Communist Party in
order to achieve their emancipation,
as the Russian workers did in 1917.
The Freiheit Singing Society sang
several revolutionary songs; Com
rade Helen Lloyd on behalf of the
Young Communist League express
sed greetings on behalf of the work
ing class youth and mass recita-
ton expressing the revolutionary
might of the workers fatherland was
delivered by five members of the
League.
Rothschild Francis, editor of the
"Emancipator," in a brilliant ad-
dress pointed out the role of Amer
lean imperialism in the Caribbean,
especially in the Virgin Islands,
where conditions are so shocking
that Congress has recently appoint
ed commission to investigate" the
miseries of the natives in
order to white-wash the iron rule of
Wall Street.

in the party, in proportion to the
number of Negro workers in the
district (Harlem alone has over
100000 Negro workers) have to
date succeeded in organizing very
few of these workers into the party
This condition must be remedied.
The Communist Party must rally all
exploited workers to the fight
against capitalist oppression. Since
the Negro workers are the most ex-
plotted of all groups, it is necessary
to intensity our work among these
masses. Along with our organiza-
tional campaign, we must clarity the
atmosphere in our party which has
formerly hindered our Negro work,
by intensifying our fight against all
forms of white chauvinism that may
exist, so that we can prepare the
way to hold these new members in
the party and increase our Influence
among the Negro masses.
In our fight against the Lovestone
renegades and right wing concilia-
tors who are fighting the party, our
answer to their disruptive tactics
must be to build and strengthen the
party. 1t was this group under the
leadership of Lovestone and Pepper
which was mainly responsible for
the neglect of the Negro work be-
cause they were influenced by the
al-democratic theory of the i'm
possibility of organizing the Negro
masses. 1t was Lovestone who ad-
vanced the theory "of the reaction
ary mass of Negro peasants" which
was sharply criticized and repudi-
ated at the Six Congress in the Reso-
luton on the Negro Question in
America. 1t was pointed out in
this resolution that the Negro
masses are not reserve of capital
ist reaction, but because of their
oppressed condition, are potential
allies of the revolutionary prole-
tariat. The mobilization of the
Negro masses for our party is one
of the most important tasks of our
party and every comrade must take
this work as major task.
This conference will mark the be-
ginning of one of the most impor-
tant steps in the history of our
party, and must be made the be-
ginning of real work in the district.

MEET TO FIGHT
terror IN PHILA.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 18.-More
than 900 workingclass organizations
have been invited to attend the mass
confe se of the Philadelphia In
tel ,'>nal Labor Defense. Sunday,
November "a, at Grand Fraternity
Hall, 1926 Arch Street.
A long list of victims of the ter
ror waged by the bosses and their
courts in the Philadelphia district
ensure a large attendance at this
meeting, when delegates will be
chosen to go to the fourth national
conference of the l. L. D. at Pitts
burgh, December 29, 80 and 81.
The Philadelphia district has been
one of the most active in raising
bail to free the Gastonia strikers,
even though it is carrying on inten-
sive activities on behalf of its own
class-war prisoners.
Women's organizations, American
Federation of Labor locals, Workers
Circles branches, language groups,
and all labor organizations have been
invited to attend the conference. A
few of the cases in the Philadelphia
district, enumerated by the secre-
tary of the l. l.. D., Jennie Cooper,
are: 16 workers arrested May Ia
while meeting at Bethlehem to
celebrate May Day; three of these
workers as well as Bill Lawrence,
charged with sedition, will go on
trial next month facing five to twen-
ty years Imprisonment; in Norfolk
Va, the /. L. D. secretary, Stephen
Graham has been arrested, charged
with "riot" because he held a meet
ng of Negro and white workers. He
las been convicted and sentenced to
six months Imprisonment.
In Philadelphia itself hundreds OF
workers have been beaten and ar
rested on the picket line during the
strikes of the window cleaners, shoe
workers, butchers and needle trades
workers.

Baltimore Workers
Interracial Dance is
Answer to Terror

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 1S.-One
answer to the reign of terror by
white chauvinists against Negro
workers in Baltimore was made by
the Negro and white workers at the
interracial dance held here by Com
munist and other militant workers.
The hall was actually too small to
accommodate the 500 Negro and white
workers who attended this affair Of
solidarity between the workers OF
all races. More interracial dances are
planned by the Communist Party
here, to bring the workers closer to
the Communist movement.

A feature of the drive is the special

publicly admits the severity of the

This gathering of the foremost

Heretofore, the solemn pronoune-

Of entire plants, rather than the

cause for this most drastic step
to inject life into a slumping pro-

That the crisis which has forced
Hoover to take such a drastic step

that besides these extended confer
