My Dear Comrades:
Just to let you know what is hap
pening in and around here: The
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. have
put in one carload Of rifles one car
load of machine guns, one carload of
ammunition and one carload of army
beds. Now what does this mean?
Preparing Wage Cut
They are preparing for wholesale
wage cut, and they know that the
workers will not stand for it, SO they
are preparing to meet the workers
with brutal thugs, or the armed
forces.
1 was over to Mayors trousers fac
tory few days ago and had a
chance to speak to one Of the girls
that works on a piece job, and she
told me she only made 81 cents per
day and their pay was only $3.50 to
$3.50 per week. They are afraid to
go after a drink of water until the
boss leaves the room where they are.
Army Business Good
The recruiting station here is
forcing young boys, 16-1S-20 years,
to join the marines. y
The conditions in Youngstown are
bad and many face starvation. I saw
six boys, eight men and several girls
and women eating out Of the garbage
can a few days ago. Only one way
to stop these conditions-to organize
and demonstrate and Vote Commun-
list to demand the things to save us.

Editorial Note: - The steel
bosses are preparing a savage
drive against the workers. They
are mobilizine guns, thugs, and
later they will call in the militia.
They will depend upon their
courts and judges to hand down
injunctions. The police of the
bosses government will be used
to beat, kill and jail workers.
The bosses count on their
strongest weapon--the govern.
rent machine--to break the re-
sistance of the workers.
Steel workers! You must pre-
pare to fight back or else you will
be forced to take starvation

Is there any real dnerence between Hoover, VINO was

it to proteer, and Frank Fay, Tammany gangster and

SOUTHERN WRITER IN MACON
DAILY DEMANDS FEDERAL
ANTI-LYNCH LAW

New York, Oct. 24.-The only
hope of stopping the "blight of mass
murder" or lynching, in the South
is aAyleral anti-lynching law, IN the
opinion of Coleman Hill, colummst
in one of the South's leading dalhes,
the Macon, Ca, Telegraph.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People has
received a clipping of Mr.. Hills col
unn, which is a most daring ar
raignment of Georgia's GovergFf
Hardman and his inactio min face
of the increasing number OF MOP
murders. "He has listened not TO
the rumblings of the lawless rebel
lion that is sweeping Georgia, f"
writes Mr.. Hill, "but to the radio
WITNESSES of Amos and Andy.
The lynehing history of this year IS
convincing proof that only one hope
remains fO eliminating our blight
of mass murder. l have never been
one to desire suppression OF evils
by law. In the entire course OF Shls
column / fIIe not, so far as can
recall, urged legislation as a RENE
DIV for social ills. The disastrous adj
ministration of the Volstead act has
been sufficient evidence that statute
may be useless. Yet in the present
emergency I believe Federal anti
lyrching law the only possible cure:
Perhaps it will not work. The need
is so pressing that it MUST be
tried" ,,.,,
Later in his column Mr.. Hill
writes: ga recent news note told
that representatives of the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colord People in New York were n
gagd in drawing up statute to De
introduced in the next session OF
Congress; and because value our
character more than our pride, |
heartily hope that it will go
through"

Unemployment
Conditions Acute
Economic Status
Of Negro Studied

Washington, Oct.-(Special To
The Associated Negro Press) Re-
porting to President Herbert Hoov-
err the results of nationwide sur
vey of the economic situation facing
the Negro in America today, COM
mittee of experts, composed of a
number of Americas foremost stud
ents and economists, presented this
week resume of the facts which
their study has disclosed.
The survey had been suggested by
President Hoover, who, in addresses
and in personal conversation with
leaders of the Negro group, has ex-
pressed a keen interest in the de-
velopment of program which
might improve the economic condi-
ton of the Negro population of the
country. The study was made under
a grant from the Julius Rosenwald
Fund.
According to the report. which
was prepared for the committee by
DR.. T. j. Woofter, Jr., Research
Professor in the Institute for Re-
search in Social Science of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, and in
which he had the cooperation of a
corps of trained white and colored
assistants, the Negro, north and
south, has been gaining in certain
lasses of occupations and losing In
others. Alphabetically the report
rointed cut the Negro is involved in
the general farm problem of the
nation, particu arly of the south.
America has today on southern
, farms, a great reservoir of labor
! the report said.
"The population both Negro and
white, is rapidly increasing by ex-
cess of births over deaths. Approx
mately $4,000 more Negroes and
300 900 more white people are born
each year than the number who die
in this area. The increase is taking
place in region which under the
present system of agriculture will
not adequately support those now
living there, so that the excess is
drained off to the cities.
"The productivity of Southern
AGRICULTURAL laborers is low. Their
gross productivity is about one-hal!
of that CT agricultural laborers IN
other sections.
"As a part of the general agri-
cultural situation the Negro farmer
in the South relies upon the one
crop system. He is subject to grave
Fluctuations in the price of cotton
and tobacco and does not raise a
sufficient proportion of his own food
and feed. He is involved in the ten
ant organization, is dependent upo1
exorbitant credit facilities, and until
recently, has been subject to unsat-
isfa"tory market conditions.
an so far as the Negro is a part
of the general problem of agricul-
tur elm the South, such steps as are
being taken to help agriculture in
general should result in his i'm
provement, if care is taken to see
that these general programs are as
effective for the Negro as for The
white farmer. But it may be that ad.
ditioral efforts can 'usefully be made
"The pressure which is drivino
from country to city substantial
part of the rural population. does
not, in the Committees Judgment
mean that the best farmers are leav-
ing the land. Indeed, the fact-finding
report shows that there are many
successful Negro farmers under
present conditions, and a part OF
the proposed progarm is to encour-
are these and to increase their num-
her.
