Washington Writes

When the Black Cross Navigation

blew up with the sale at auction of
it's steamship, the Booker T. Wash
ington," and the loss of millions of
dollars extracted from Negro work
ers in the United States, Central
America and the West Indies as in
vestments and contributions, the Of
ficials of the company evaded the
rising wrath of the plundered work
ers by adroitly making the crew of
the "Booker T. Washington" the
scapegoat for the entire fiasco and
failure.
The crew was slandered right and
left at the meetings of the Univer-
sal Negro Improvement Association
called to hear report on the cruise
to tic West Indies and the events
leading rr to the loss of the boat
at auc.ifn Even before the return
of the vessel to New York, off
Gals, experienced in passing the
buck, had prepared their own alibi
and the death of the crew by num-
erous expensive cables to headquar-
tiers in which the crew was literally
slandered and blamed for every
thing from the failure to buy coal
to the prolonged and costly stay in
West Indian waters. and so sue
cessful were these officials in d.
recting the resentment of the
masses in the U. N. /. A. against
the crew that the members refused
to hear the crews side of the story.
Now, for the first time, the crews
side of the story will be told in a
series Of articles, written by a men,
Der of the crew, and which will APP
pear in the Daily Worker begin

Why Socialists
Are for More,
Better Prisons

PHILADELPHIA, Pam item
from today's Daily News says that
an old woman pulled a fake hold
up in order to be sent to Jail rather
than starve. Which answers the
question why the socialists demand
more and better jails in their plat
form.
The socialists and the A. F. Of L.
takers are against the "dole" sys-
tenn as they call unemployment re-
lief, which would lower the workers
to be so many beggars they say.
But they think that something must
be done, so they propose that
the workers be imprisoned, hence
they ask for more and better jails,
but for the workers of course.
Workers, are we going to stand
for all these insults from the bosses
parties? No, must be the answer.
Vote Communist! We demand
work for the workers and prisons
for the crooks like the socialists,
republicans and democrats, who are
all the same gang of robbers.

Mayor Walker Aids Food RacketeeHs

publicly that he was putting his
entire staff of 144 inspectors to
the task of ferreting out racket
GERS, Walker Immediately de-
clared that the inspectors would
do nothing of the sort, that the
duty of inspectors was to inspect
food and not racketeers. Walker
need not have been so fearful of
either Wynne or his "investiga-
ton"
1t is true that Wynne is waging
an underground campaign for the
mayoralty and would do anything to
embarrass Walker, but it is like
wise true that Wynne has known
these conditions have always ex-
listed
Furthermore no
one knows better than Wynne that
every inspector on his staff without
exception is in the pay of the rack
eteers and that the investigation
would have petered out even if
Walker hadn't crippled it before it
started.
Probe Dropped For Lack of Funds"
AS for the Investigation" started
by the republicans, that too went
the way of all capitalist investiga-
tons when the attorney generals
office announced that "a lack of
funds necessitated that the inquiry
be dropped" Why didn't the at
torney general use some of the 500
million dollars that Tammany steals
annually from the workers of New
York City?
The racketeering that Walker re-
fused to stop and that the republi-
cans considered too ''hot" to touch
is rampant today, and responsibility
for large part of the misery that
is grinding the lives of New York
workers and their families can be
rightfully laid at the door of Tam
many's City Hall, where last week
one of the jobless committee was
almost beaten to death for calling
Walkers attention to the fact.

Workers in New York pay tribute
to Tammany Hall and it's associated

how the racketeers operate. Farm

paid from five to seven cents for a

Some of the difference goes for

Most of it, however, goes to rack

is not penny in the bank to the
credit of the organization. Instead
there is an overdraft. In spite of
the reformist illusions spread broad
cast by Marcus Garvey of escape of
oppression through the creation of
Negro capitalistic enterprises, no
commercial enterprise is being car

even own one square foot of prop

true.
What Becomes of the Monye?
The question then arises "what
has become of the peoples money?
Mr.. Carney does not pay the Off
GERS of the organization. The
Chancellor is in the American field
accumulating his past, present and
future salary. Lady Davis, the
Secretary-General, is in Washing
ton, D. c., with her pocket-book full
of cheques. One of Marcus Gar
vey's private secretaries is now the
real ecretary- Generayl. And the
Constitution says "the President
General (Garvey) and Secretary
Generals signature can draw all the
Associations funds out of the
bank" Cart. s, Sec. ~.
Robs His Employees.
The official staff at headuarters
consists of fifteen persons, with a
total payroll of five dollars a week.
There are two private secretaries
whose pay is forty dollars each per
week. They are the only ones who
get paid. They draw their certified
checks each and every week. The
most the others get as rule is fifty
cents per week. AS soon as an en-
ployee's back wages become heavy,
he is fired. On one such occasion
there was a fight in the office in
which door was smashed to pieces.
Yes, Brother Garvey can fight when
he does not want to pay a worker
his wages. Most Of the four and
five dollar employees are in arrears
as high as sixty dollars. Mr.. Gar

GERS, but the public should know
that all the high officers of the U.

By ALLAN JOHNSON

Nothing better illustrates the
cruelty of Tammany Hall and the
capitalist system of which it is an
integral part, than the widespread
racketeering that permeates the
food industries.
Consider that there are 100000
workers without jobs in New York,
even according to the prejudiced
estimate of Rybicki, head of the
fake city employment agency. Con-
slider that several hundred thou
sands of these are near or below
the starvation line and that it is a
common sight in working-class dis
tricts to see half-starved men,
women and children ransacking
garbage cans and slop pals for
scraps of food.
And then consider that the price
of food, scarce as it is for these
100000 and their families, has been
sent sky high because of racketeer-
ing that goes on with the approval
and convivance of Tammany Hall
and Jimmy Walker, the dancing
mayor of New York.
A few months ago, when the
capitalist parties were seeking to
ingratiate themselves with New
York workers in preparation for
the oncoming election campaign,
both the republicans and the DEM
ocrats started investigations" of
food racketeering. The attorney
generals office, republican, de-
clared, Every food industry that
the attorney general has studied
SO far, milk, flour, eggs and fish,
has shown the existence of an
active combination of profiteers.
No doubt every other line of food
distribution here has its ring of
racketeers. There are so many

York's food industry that I am
afraid it will keep us busy at least

BALKAN ININORITIES IN
SHARPER PROTESTS

ATHENS, Greece.-Despite the
wishes and the efforts of the or
CARRIERS of the Balkan conference
which was to be a demonstration of
the solidarity of the Balkan govern
ments, the minorities question soon
began to play a role. The repre-
sentatives of Bulgaria and Albania
raised the question, and the former
complained bitterly of the Neuilly
treaty which gave Yugoslavia a
large slice of Bulgarian territory.
The speaker appealed to the confer
ence to abandon the ostrich policy
of refusing to see plain facts, and
to accept the resolution calling for
revision of the treaties.
The speech of the Roumanian
delegates was counterblast to the
speeches of the Albanian and Bull
garian delegates. He declared that
a federation of Balkan States could
only be based on a strict observance
of the provisions of all the treaties
on which the present peace of
Europe was based. In conclusion
he declared, eve demand the abso-
lutte loyalty of the national minori-
ties to their governments"
The Communist daily newspaper
"Rizospastis" reports that yester-
day Communist leaflets were dis
tributed in large numbers in the
proletarian quarters calling on the
workers to demonstrate against the
imperialist Balkan conference as a
puppet show of governments on the
strings of the various imperialist
Great Powers.

While I was eating an elderly

told me how she saw him walking
around in the place without anything
to eat. He sat down, his head bent
over the table. She believed him
hungry and asked me to give him
a few cents from her, because she
was too bashful to do it. I went
over and gave him the money.
Many Do Same.
He thanked me and ran to the
counter for some food.

cause so many are out of work.
