Commemorate Centenary of
Nat Turner'S Death

rHE Negro peoples are not by any means lack
Il ing in revolutionary traditions The long
st of slave revolts, the victorious revolution of
ne Haitian slaves, the unparalleled heroism and
alor displayed by Negro troops in the Civil War
constitutes glorious revolutionary record of
which any peoples might well be proud. In these
truggles the Negro peoples have thrown up from

The white American ruling class, in its efforts
to crush the spirit of the Negro masses and stifle
their revolt against their brutal oppression tries
N every way to kill the revolutionary traditions
Of the Negro masses On the other hand the
Negro bourgeoisie and its intellectual Spokesman
distort and suppress these traditions.
This Convention denounces this effort of the
bosses and their tools and declares its purpose
to revive the revolutionary traditions of the Ne
gro race and to spread by all means within its
power knowledge of these traditions among the
masses, both Negro and white.
This Convention calls upon the working class
to commemorate Nov. II, 1884, as the centenary
of the heroic death of Nat Turner, Negro revolu-
tionary leader and martyr, who was murdered
on Nov. H. 1881, by the Southern slave holding

LENIa ON War

What is this was being fought for? Why
these unleard-of miseries it brings humanity?
fhe COVE ntient and the b3Igeoisie of every
belhg@tent country are SQuandering millions OF
rub'aS or books and papers Blaming the oppo-

for the enemy, stopping before no lie whatever
in order to picture themselves as tile country

groups Of predatory great powers, and it is
,oagnt for the dl, ison of colonies for the en-
siayetncrlt Of other nations, for advantages and
privileges in the world market This is a most
reactionary war, war of modern ve-holders
fought for the purpose of retaining and strength
ening capitalist slavery. England and France
are lying when they assert thatSthey fight the
war for the freedom of Belgium. In reality,
they have long been preparing the war, and
they wage 1t for the purpose of robbing Ger

a treaty with Italy and Russia STIMULATING the
pillage and division of Turkey and Austria. The

1.-THE war fills the pockets Of the capitalists
to whom an ocean of gold is flowing from the
treasures of the great powers. The war is pro- Z
voking an unreasoning bitterness against the
enemy. and The bourgeoise does its best to direct
the dissatisfaction of the people into these chan
nels. to divert their attention from the main
enemy, the government and the ruling classes
OF their own country. The war, however cary

toiling masses, enlightens and steels the best
representatives of the working class. II perish
we must, let us perish in the struggle for our
own cause, for the cause of the workers, for the
Socialist revolution and not for the interests Of
the capitalists, landowners and Czars--this is
what every class-conscous worker sees and feels.

Fight for Rent Reduction

ginningS Of real struggle for this demand will
quickly develop it into mass movement involv-

The tactic of the struggle for lower rents is
above all THE RENT STRIKE. Beginning with
single houses, in which most of the tenants are
workers such strikes can be extended to include
the majority of whole blocks of houses and
working-class districts The present fantastic
cally- high rents can be smashed and quickly
brought down by 40 or SO per cent.
What is required is the immediate organiza-

0NE of the most pressing problems of the
" moment for almost all workers is that of
RENT. For the unemployed this is the struggle
against evctons, first of all, and for immediate
relief and unemployment insurance. But the
problem is very sharp also for the employed

The need for systematic strengthening of the

italist countries also raises the question of low
ering the cost OF industrial production to the
position OF most urgent objective in the in

was not by accident that the lowering of pro-

of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union as
the central task Of industry, the solution of
which preceded all others. The great increase
in the productivity of labor by the end of 1882
1888, then, constitutes decisive force not
merely on the industrial front but also in the
entire Soviet economic policy during this five
