The Negro Worker and
Unemployment
By Fred Ellis

the worst type of capitalist, grating politicians
forced to declare that the conditions of
the Negro unemployed in Chicago were almost
beyond description. The number of Negro un-
employed evcted for nor-payment of rent from
their rotten novels is more than double the
white workers.
How do the Negro misleaders propose to
solve unemployment for the Negro workers?
BY cringing before their white masters; by
accepting charity without murmur; by stand
ing on the bread-line; bv cooperating with
Hoover and the A. F. of L. takers.
The Chicago World went so far as to crit
icize the Daily Worker for calling upon Negro
and white workers to unite in the struggle
for the demand of Work or Wages beNuse
this might njure "peace and prosperity" What
prosperity? What peace? Does the World
mean the peaceful" lynching of Negro work
ers in the South by the bosses mobs?
Fight Shoulder to Shoulder.
However, the Negro workers have amply
demonstrated the fact that they will not stand
by and starve but will unite with their white
brothers in the fight for Work or Wages; in
the organization of Unemployed Councils, under
the leadership of the Communist Party and the
Trade Union Unity League.
On March 8, hundreds OF concrete instances
were given of the firm unity of Negro and
white workers in the struggle for the unem-
ployed demands of the T.U.U.L.
In Chicago, Negro workers rushed to the
defense of a white worker severely beaten by
the cops at the unemployed demonstration sew
eral weeks before March 6. In Milwaukee,
the white iobless workers had to be restrained
from storming building from which several
petty-bourgeois students had insulted Negro
unemployed speaker.
In the South, Negro and white workers stood
shoulder to shoulder in the jobless demonstra-
tions.
The fighting spirit of the Negro workers,
together with their white felow-workers, on
March 6, is an inspiration to all workers and
blow to the bosses attempts to disunite the
workers on color lines.
By cringing to the bosses, the Urban League
NAV get other Judas-kiss letters from Hoover,
Davis or any other of the enemies of the
workers. But only by fighting as class to-
gether with the white workers, will the Negro
unemployed be able to force the bosses to dis
courage some of their profits in the form OF
unemployment insurance paid by the capitalist
state.

FORAMASS REVOLUTIONARY
YOUTH PAPER

on a national and international scale. A Week
ly Young Worker is organically connected with
the question of organizing the young workers
for struggle for their every day demands.
Without systematic activity in the regular
armed forces and in the auxiliary armed forces,
there can be no real campaign and revolution
ary struggle against the war danger. The
Weekly Young Worker as the organ of the
revolutionary youth, must become the main
central organizing force in our general anti
militarist activities. The Weekly Young Work
er will also expose the war preparations of the
bosses and organize broad struggle against
the danger of imperialist war, and for the
defense of the Soviet Union.
The penetration of the opponent youth or
ganizations, the winning away of the young
workers from the bourgeois organizations, plus
the development of mass auxiliary youth or
ganizatons, can also be aided greatly by
Weekly Young Worker. The Weekly Young
Worker will be a weapon in our struggle
against the influence and ideology of the bour-
geoisie in the ranks of the working youth.
By May First a Weekly.
1t is impossible to conceive of making the
turn towards mass work, without the develop
ment of real Bolshevik self-criticism from top
to bottom, without the development of youth
can also be accomplished by weekly Young
Worker which will organize the young workers
for struggle, educate our membership in mass
work, and develop through its columns tho
rough self-criticsm.
The weekly Young Worker is the instrument
by which the League can make the turn towards
mass work. In order to organize the unor-
ganized, change the poor social and national
composition of the League, build shop nuclei,
penetrate the opponent youth organizations,
struggle against the danger of imperialist war
and for the defense of the Soviet Union, it is
essential to have weekly Young Worker. To-
day. no longer is there factional manipulation
with the Young Worker. No longer we
tolerate promises that are never fulfilled as
in the past. To-Day we mean business in build
ing Weekly Young Worker.
The present period demands the winning of
the youth for the class struggle, demands the
building of mass Young Communist League,
based on the shops and factories. The every
day struggles of the young workers demand a
mass organ, a Weekly Young Worker. The
realization of this fact by every Party and
League member, by every class conscious young
and adult worker, will make possible the es-
tablishment of Weekly Young Worker by
May First.

in case of sickness.
The workers of the Soviet Union are using
all their energy to fulfil the Five Year Plan.
Treaties of Socialist Competition have been
signed between the workers. Factory with fac
tory and department with department have
signed agreements in which they undertake to
fulfil the following points:
Ito reduce the cost of production by 1870.
2-To struggle against scrap making.
$40 struggle against drunkenness and mis-
sing days of work.
4-To take care of all material as much as
possible.
5-To fulfil all programs 1000.
The workers of the Soviet Union undertake
to fulfil our Five Year Plan of Socialist Con-
struction because we know that in order to
fight our enemies, the capitalists of the whole
world and to help comrades, the workers
of the whole world, in order to fight capitalism
and fascism, must build up industry and
in1ustrialize agriculture.
Manv things are still scarce. But we know
why. We know that in order to carry out our
plans we have to import machines for heavy
industry and we know that the capitalists of
the whole world see our peaceful building up
of Socialism. That is why they do not want to
give us credits and they are trying to break
off relations with our workers republic. But
in spite of that we are getting stronger and
stronger every day. We know that the capital
lists of the whole world are preparing war
against US. But every worker in the Soviet
Union is ready to defend the workers republic
which is the fatherland of the international
proletariat.
Comrades, American workers. we are appeal
ing to you. If the capitalists pull you into
war against the Soviet Union, your duty will
be to refuse to fight against the workers
fatherland, AMI to agitate among the soldiers
not to kill their comrades, workers of the So
Wet Union. but to fight to the last drop of
blood for the workers Of the whole world and
to establish workers government in every
country in the world

WHEN on the job the Negro worker is the
" most exploited When out of work, his
road to starvation is much shorter than that
of the white worker While unemployment hits
the white worker with a terrific whack, that
blow is intensified for the Negro worker.
In every instance where unemployment in
vestigations have been made, the fact is uncon-
tradicted that proportionately more Negro
workers are unemployed than white.
More Negroes Unemployed.
The New York State Department of Labor
says lin accepting these figures, we remember
the smooth facility for lying in these matters
that the canitalist governments have shown)
that when there was 1913 per cent unemploy-
ment among white workers, at the time
III per cent Negro workers were joblss In
Philadelphia, with 6.S per cent of the white
workers out of work. 1912 ner cent Negro work
ers were walking the streets iobless. In Phild-
delphid, there 1Uere fire times as mann Negro
1corkers hit bu unemeployment as there a0ere
achite lcOrkers!
In Buffalo, Chicago Pittsburgh, BirminG-
ham-in fact, in every industrial center in the
United States-the PROPORTION of Negro work
ers unemployed is from 25 to so per cent
greater than the white iobless.
How Many?
How many unemployed Negro workers are
there in the United States? 0nlv one orean-
ization has TINS far answered this one"tion.
and that outfit has done it in the style OF
Hoover-lies and urderestimaton. Recently
the National Urban League, whose object is to
create docile. willing ne-to-be-exploited Negro
workers for the American bosses, stated that
there were 100000 jobless Negroes in the
United States.
After receiving soft-soap letter from the
worst enemy of the NEGRO workers in the
limited States, Herbert Hoover, certainly we
wouldn't expect the Urban League to queer
Hoover's game of attempting to fool the masses
on the extent of unemployment. On April !,
1929. Hoover wrote to Eugene Kincke Jones,
executive secretary of the National Urban
League approving the policies of that organ'za-
tion and wishing them success in this under
taking"
On many other occasions the Urban League
has coonerated with the strikebreaker ana
enemy of all workers, Hoover, and on the
question of unemployment they rush IN on their
knees and their bellies to underestimate the
severity of unemployment of the Negro worker.
Well Over 600, 900.
Let us sec what the real state of unemnloy-
ment is among the Negro workers. Exclusive
of agricultural workers (and these too are
hard bit hv unemplovment) there are about
100000 Negro workers in the U. S. Ac-
cording to the A. F. Of L.. about % per cent
of its members are out of work. 1t is con-
servative to apply this figure to the entire
working class. Also, it is admitted on all hands
that the number Of Negro workers in the job
less army is far greater than white workers.
Hence it Is evident that at least 25 per cent of
al Negro workers in the United States at
the present time Is workless. This gives us
way over 100000 unemployed Negro workers

THE sharpening of the class struggles arising
out of the present period of world economic
crisis, makes not only possible, but historically
necessary, the building of a mass Young Com
munist League. mass Young Communist
League can only be built by making sharp
turn towards the young workers, in the shops,
among the opponent youth, on the sport fields,
and even in the churches, One of the first and
foremost tasks in reaching and winning the
young workers, is the building of a mass news
paper of the working youth, Weekly Young
Worker.
Mass unemployment, speed-up, low wages,
and growing militarism, have created deep dis
content among the young workers. In all the
struggles of the workers, the young workers
have taken an active and often leading part
The bourgeosie understanding that the out
come of the impending wars and class strug-
giles depends now to considerable extent on
the part which will be played in them by the
toiling youth" (YCI resolution), has increased
its activity among the young workers. The
school, the press, the church, the movies, sports
everything, is used in order to poison the
minds of the young workers with the ideology
of capitalism.
Needed Mass Youth Paper.
The League has Jagged behind the young
workers, has failed to sufficiently counteract
the offensive and increased activity of the
capitalist class. One of the reasons for this,
has been the failure on the part of the League
to develop mass newspaper as the organized
expression, the collective propagandst, agita
tor and organizer" of the young workers in
their every day struggles. The Young Worker
as weekly mass organ; rooted in the shops
and factories, will be one of the first steps
towards breaking our isolation from the masses,
towards becoming the organizer and leader of
the young workers in their every day strug-
giles.
The work of organizing the unorganized
young workers into revolutionary unions and
youth sections, of changing the social and ma
tional composition of our League and the build
ing of shop nuclei can only be accomplished
through our every day struggle against ration
alization and unemployment, in the shops and
factories. This every day factory activity can
best be conducted if we have a Weekly Young
Worker to help initiate and develop our work
Through workers correspondence, through arti-
cles dealing with the life and needs of the
young workers, we can place before them our
program, give their struggle an organized
character, link up their struggle with the
struggles of the young workers and workers

Dear Comrades:

of the Soviet Union. Here, in the city of Niko-

Marty and one is called Number 81. Andre
Marty is the name of French revolutionary
who was sent by the French capitalists on
fleet to the Black Sea ports to lombard the
Bolsheviks. But when the fleet to the
Black Sea Andre Marty organized all sailors
and locked up all officers and refused to bonn
bard the Soviet cities. That is why the work
ers and peasants government named this ar
senal Andre Marty. The No. 81 Arsenal is
named so because in front of it 81 Communists
were shot by white guards. In the Andre
Marty Arsenal 10000 workers are working,
in the No. 81 Arsenal 5000 workers. In these
arsenals we build plenty of vessels, small and
big. up to 10000 tons. We are also making
railroad cars and other things. The program
of the Five Year Plan is to build in these
arsenals 264 vessels of different sizes. Here
is also one heavy factory which is manufactur-
ing agricultural machines. In this factory
$500 workers are working. There is also
government building organization which is
