T.U.U.L. INVITES
NEGRO TOILERS
AS DELEGATES
Special Call to Come to
N. Y. Convention


We are always the last to be hired.
We are the first to be fired, and
suffer most from the growing I'M
employment. We are more brutally
speeded up, and are the first to
have our miserable wages cut. We
are Disseminated against not only
by the bosses and their government,
but also by the bureaucrats and
takers of the A. F. L.
ave, Negro workers, are very
well acquainted with the shameful
Jim Crow policy of the A. F. l..
unions. Only a few weeks ago,
right here in New York, the Car
pet Layers Union refused to allow
Negro worker, who was working
at this trade for IA years, to re-
main on the job. The officials of
this A. F. L. union had this Negro
fellow worker fired, although he
tried many times to join the union.
Negroes Unorganized.
eve, Negro workers, are almost
completely unorganized. The agents
of the bosses, the Jim Grow Off
Gals of the A. F. H., have refused
to admit Negro workers into their
unions. These A. F. L. takers who
betray and sell out every strike to
the bosses, are helping the capital
t lists force the most terrible ex-
ploitation upon US. They, more
than anyone else, are responsible
for Jim Crowism, discrimination,
! lynching and terror campaign or
ganized against us by the bosses.
"More and more Negro workers
are beginning to realize that their
only salvation from unemployment,
wage cuts and speed-up, discrimina-
ton, lynching and terror is in the
unity of Negro and white workers,
in the militant new revolutionary
unions for a struggle against the
bosses and their agents of the A.
F. L. More and more Negro work
ers are joining the ranks of the
Trade Union Unity League, the or
ganizer and fighter for the inter-
ests of all exploited and oppressed
workers.
"The Trade Union Unity League
fights against the Jim Crow policy
of the A. F. L. unions. We, Negro
workers must realize that we cannot
fight alone. We will not get any
where by sitting back and wishing
for something to happen. When we
are faced with high rents and UNI
employment, miserable living con-
ditions, wage cuts and speed up, we
owe it to ourselves as workers, and
as race that is Disseminated
against and oppressed by the bosses,
to organize and fight! We must,
therefore, join the organization that
unites all workers, regardless of
color, race, religion and nationality,
for the common struggle against the
bosses. That is why, we, Negro
workers, especially must partici-
pate in this convention of the Trade
Union Unity League.
1.-THE bosses and capitalists of this
country, through the terrific speed
up system force the workers to pro-
duce such surplus, that they find
lack of markets to sell their prod
ucts. This creates struggle for
markets which means war! The
wage cuts, increased speed up, and
the drive against the conditions OF
the workers are part of the bosses
war preparations. The bankers and
trust magnates are feverishly pre-
pairing for another world war which
will break out at any time.
eve, Negro workers, should re-
member the last war. We were made
to fight for democracy" We were
slaughtered by the thousands for all
kinds of romises. And we were
Ilynched for wearing army uniforms
in the streets of cities in the South.
The American capitalists are espe-
cially preparing for war against the
wo. 5ers ard farmers Of Soviet Rus
STA. The workers of Soviet Union
overthrow the capitalist system and
established their own Soviet Gov
eminent. They control the factories
and are rapidly building socialism.
Soviet Russia is the only country
that has completely wiped out racial
and national prejudice and discrimi-
nation. The Soviet Union is an in
SEPARATION to the millions of colonial
slaves brutality oppressed and ex-
plotted by the. imperialist powers.
The workers of Haiti have shown a
heroic example of a brave struggle
for emancipation from the bloody
rule of Wall Street. The workers Of
South Africa are fighting bravely
against the cruel terror Of the Brit
|ish ruling class and their agents,
the labor government. In India,
China, East India and Latin Amer
lea the Soviet Union inspires the
colonial peoples to struggle for lib
Grafton from the yoke of imperialist
oppression.
"That is why the American CAPT
talists are preparing to attack the
Soviet Government. The Trade
