Fake Anti-Lynch Congress A Flop

fifty we're exclusively from the group of pro-
fessional betrayers of the Negro masses; preach
ers, landlords, bourgeois editors etc Unlike the
st. Louis convention which based its fight
against lynching on the mobilization of the
white and Negro workers for militant and con-
crete demands like the right of self-determina-
tion-state unity for the Negro majorities in the
Black Belt-deStruction of the plantation base
of Negro oppression in the South by confiscation
of the lands for the Negroes who work the lands;
death penalty for all lynchers etc, the fake anti
lynching congress of the misleaders was based
on prayers for the health of Hoover and on petit
tons to Hoover to punish his own class and his
Ku Klux and Lily White allies, and to denounce
the discrimination and jim crowisn practiced
by his own administration an instrument of
the white ruling class.
Delegation Visits Hoover.
A delegation of five visited President Hoover
with the petition. The delegation included rep
resentatives from such reformist organizations
the National Association for the Advance
nlent of Coored People, the National Equal
Rights League, the National Association of Col
ored Women, The traitors were all there, even
the Lovestone renegades had representative at
the conference in the person of Rothschild Fran
els, editor of the petty bourgeois "Emancpator'
of st. Thomas, Virgin Islands.
This fake anti-lynching congress further ex-
poses the treachery and futility of the petty
bourgeois misleadership. Even the delegates
had tc admit that the affair had no definite
program. And to make more complete the ex-
posure it was turned from its opening session
into congress for the support of the laws and
institutions of the lynchers instead of the fake
anti-lynching fight its leaders had planned to
stage in an effort to quiet the rising wrath of
the Negro masses.

Use A "MiId Corrective"

Things will now surely go all right Haywood

mild corrective"
This is quite in line with what might be
called "Broun's Mild Corrective Socialism" And
while we were thinking about it, fan sends
lis the following, clipped from Brouns mildly
corrective column of the N. Y, Telegram of Nov,
3, 1929
1T is recognized that water power should not
be given over into the hands of individual capi-
talists. OF course, this is straight socialism, but
1 am not wishing for the triumph of the social
lists now or even in 1882. They seem to me too
dogmatic I want to see the new structure
raised within the old one and have the building
changed carefully beam by beam. I'm not bit
strong for general blasting"
You begin, you see, by taking a dose of mild
ly corrective" salts. If the results show that
you are not employed, you are eligible to join

rect capitalism so very mildly, without gripping,
that the shareholders will feel a great sense of
relief and the results will fall only on the

ANY Old Excuse

1t is now the season for all capitalist papers,
no matter i'll what city published, to be giving
alibis for local Community Chests and Re
lief Committees which are refusing to give
food and shelter to starving unemployed workers
because they are alleged to be from other
cities"
In New York City. the miserable finks who
call themselves social service workers." are an
onymously cited saying that sixty per cent
of the men in the breadline are from points
outside New York"
In a Texas paper it said:-'Highways are
crowded with tramps, leaving the cold north
and with intentions of spending the winter here.
Local police handling this phase of the
situation"
It is the same all over worker is informed
that the united" in the words United States
is not to be taken seriously and that if he takes
the ferry from Hoboken to Manhattan, he is
considered to be an undesirable alien and subject
to deportation if he objects to starving to death

DISCRIMINATION against foreign born work.
" ers is as much class weapon as wage-cuts
and injunctons Aside from its immediate func-
ton of increasing the profits of the capitalists,
1t is also means whereby the ranks of the work.
ers are divided and set up against one another.
The conditions to which foreign-born workers
are compelled to submit are probably even worse
than those imposed upon the Negroes. Negroes
at least in few Northern states, possess nom
inal equality" But in the states of Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, New Jersey, California, Arizona,
Rhode Island, Idaho and New Mexico foreign
ers" cannot even be employed in public works.
In ten other states, including New York they do
not receive the same accident compensation &C
corded to citizens. And in Oregon foreigners are
not allowed to read newspapers and magazines
which are not printed in English. The state Of
Pennsylvania pronounces that foreigners have
no right to keep dogs. The few states that have
old age pension laws give the pensions only to
those who have ben citizens from 10 to rs years.
Similar discrimination is contained in practically
all the labor legislation of the 48 states.
1t is not only through the statute books that
the immigrant is victimized. Robert w Dunn,
in Labor and Automobiles, reports that "At
least so per cent of the automobile concerns re-
Qulre flrSt papers or naturalization papers from
their employees. AS result the number OF nom
citizens is now much lower than formerly For
example, only per cent of the workers in the
Flint Chevrolet plants are reported as aliens"
Along with its class conscious discrimination
this is an efficient aid to an identification and
blacklist system.
In Texas, Mexicans are imported mostly be-
cause they are unable to get into the A. F. of L.
unions there. In Houston, where wages for Mex
lean workers are comparatively high, cotton oil
products mills employ them at rs cents an hour.
These mills operate in two shifts OF IL hours.
Compress workers handle 5o0-pound bales OF
cotton at high speed-trucking piling and I'M
loading them.
These conditions hold true for foreign born
workers all over the country. survey Of immi-
grant women in Philadelphia shows that al per
cent received under $40 week. IS per cent be-
tween $40 and SIS, 36 per cent between SIS and
$50, and 18 per cent over $50" In the mines OF
Michigan, where the miners are almost exclu-
sively foreign-born, the wages are lower than in
other mining states, the workers earning between
$500 and $500 annually.

THE fake anti-lynching congress of the Negro
petty-bourgeois msleaders held in Washing
ton, D. c., last week under the leadership of
the National Equal Rights League was a COM
plete flop
The disruption and failure of the congress
began at the very opening of the first session
when I.elly Miller, notorious apoogist for the
imperialist oppressors of the Negro masses, in
the opening address based his speech ON the
promises that the race victimized by lynchings
and boss terrorism Should be more law abiding"
More respect to the laws and courts of the
bosses which are regularly used against the Ne
gro masses. More respect to American institu-
tons like lynching, jim crowisr, etc.
Sees No Need for Struggle
Miller as usual, completely ignored the neces-
Sity for struggle against the bosses, lynching ter
ror which has already taken SO victims during
the present year. He had no condemnation for
the terrific oppression and robbery of the South
ern Negro masses. He showed no interest what
ever in the misery of over 100000 unemployed
Negro workers. part of the army of nine mil
lion jobless in this country. These were nothing
to get excited about in Millers estimation. This
line was little too raw, however, for the rest
of the traitors These, aware of the growing
resentment among the Negro masses against
their treacherouS leadership, saw their tottering
influence smashed by such open betrayal. They
had expected the congress to at least formu-
late fake program against lynching. Instead
of that, Kelly Miller preached respect for the
law of the lynchers.
No Workers Present
In sharp contrast to the recent convention in
st. Louis of the League of Struggle for Negro
Rights there were no workers present from the
factories and fields. The delegates, less than

EOR thirteen months the bosses and their yes
men have been making hokus- pokus to per-
suade the workers that industry will soon be on
the upgrade. And still the decline continues
November, 1929 the month of the greatest
stock market crash in American financial his
tory. In its employment bulletin for that month
the U. S. Department of Labor pretended that
the recent financial upheaval had not disturbed
industry or caused any decrease in employment"
Yet the Federal Reserve Bulletin, published by
insiders for insiders, showed a drop in factory
jobs from 1923 in July to 1913 for November
BY December employment had sagged to $685.
This moved Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
to announce, Il have every confidence that there
will be revival of activity in the spring"

Chamber of Commerce of the United States

saw no less than every evidence of early re-
newal OF the normal onward march of living
standards and business prospects"
On March T. the day after the world-w
Communist demonstrations for Work or Wages
Hoover tried again. This time his line was that,
ALI the evidence indicates that the worst effects
OF the crash upon unemployment will have been
passed during the next sixty days" BY way of

Then Secretary of Commerce Lamont took a
try. If present tendencies continue he averred
on May 10, normal conditions should be re-

bassador Dawes told the Lord Mayors guests in
Belfast on September 27 that they might hope
to see the normal trend of business by the fall

Early in october Secretary of Labor Davis as
sured the A. F. of L. convention that I'VE will
soon emerge this period of depression and enter
into a new and lasting period of prosperity But
the same month saw former New York police

OF the Wilson's War Industries Board. At their
sixth annual reunion at the Hotel Ambassador
in New York on November II under the presi-
dency OF Bernard M Baruch, they expressed the
belief that the end of the depression is in sight"
So well in sight is it that the New York Times

iditated ever since while building up American
industry, will understand that not only local
