Ball Is passed to No. back, who
in turn passes it laterally to the
No. back while on the run. No.

upon receiving the ball, fakes q

ing defense. Instead, he throws q
lateral, the second Of the play, to
No. 8 back, who Is already speeding

When No. 3 takes 1t on the run
he is protected by waves of inter-

Worker Correspondence


BOSTON, Nov. 27.-Last Wednes-
day I had occasion to attend meet
ing called by the National Equal
Rights League to protest the lynch
ings of Negro workers in the South
and to prepare for the national
washington conference of the Ma
tional Equal Rights League.
The audience was composed in the
greatest majority of the congregation
of the Zion Church, where this meet
ing was held.
The first speaker here was the
"socialist'' faker, Alfred Baker Lewis,
and 1 wondered that he had the
nerve to come to speak to Negroes
when the program of the socialist"
party hadn't even the CUTS to men
ton the word Negro" for fear Of
losing the votes of some fat "ily-
white" boss. Naturally, he evaded
the whole question of his Party's
stand on the Negro question.
Those of us at this meeting who
were members of the American Ne
gro Labor Congress (now the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights could
not but help contrast this takers
speech with what the program of our
organization calls for, namely, that
the Negro and white workers in the
South organize themselves into work
ers' defense corps and physically
combat lynchings.
Next speaker was the Rev. G. G.
Williams, pastor of Zion Church, who
devoted most of his speech to max
ing a collection and calling upon God
to stop lynching. From hearing him
speak it was SO plain to see the role
of the Negro Church, that it is using
the race issue to get the Negro work
ers interested and then fill them with
religious ideas and ask them to pray
against lynching, and so on, and thus
really keep them from fighting lynch
ing effectively.
It was too bad to hear that splen-
did fighter, Monroe Trotter, in his
speech show how completely the lead.
ership of the National Equal Rights
League is in the hands of the reli'
gious institutions. Certainly aftel
fighting like he has for so many
years heyeasr he should know thai
only militant fight, by uniting thu
workers, both Negro and white
against this terrible evil will lynch
ings be combatted.
The main theme of Mr.. Trotter'
speech was Nov that we have beer
granted an audience with the presi'
dent we will be able to tell him fac,
to face that we are against lynch
