The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-04-26
By TOM JOHNSON

For the first time in history thou
sands of Southern workers, Negroes
and white, led by the Communist
Party, will join their Northern fell
low workers in revolutionary DEM
onstrations against capitalism on
May. First. May Day in the South
this year will be an historic event,
signalling the growing solidarity
Of the American working class,
North and South, white and black.
Terrible Conditions
In the South close to half mil
lion textile workers-men, women
and children--slave 10 and II hours
day for wages of 81 to SIS week.
Thousands of steel workers, Negro
and white, are paid the starvation
wages of % to 80 cents an hour.
Foundry workers, miners, metal
workers, toll long hours for $40 to
$40 a week. And on the farms the
poor tenants and share troopers are
lucky if they see $40 bill in the
course of year, while the farm la
borers put in Ia and 16 hours a day
in the fields for as little as $40
month.
The conditions of the white work.
ers are terrible. The conditions of
the Negro worker are worse. Given
the h9r lest, dirtiest work to do and
paid the lowest wages in the shop.
denied the right to vote in elections
or to run for office, Jim Crowed
wherever they go, the Negro work
crs are treated like dogs.
Every attempt OF the workers to
fight back against these conditions
is met by the clubs of the police, the
bayonets Of the National Guard, long
jail sentences, and by open fascist
lynch terror. The battle at Gas
tonia. the Marion shootings, the
murder of Ella May Virgins, and
now the attemp to burn Powers and
Carr in the electric chair-such arc
the bloody landmarks of the class
struggle in the South.
To make this united front Of
bosses, government, Ku Klux Khan,
etc, against the working class COM
plete, the American Federation of
Labor steps forward as the loudest
champion Of lynch law for the work
ers of the whole filthy crew. In
Atlanta officials of the A. +. of L..
are playing the role Of police in
formers and are testifying in court
in an attempt to send an organizer
of the National Textile Workers
Union to Jail. In Birmingham the
Labor Advocate, official organ of
the A. F. of L., screams in each is
sue for the blood of the Communist
Party and Trade Union Unity
League organizers in the South.
There is every reason to believe
THAT the cowardly bombing of the
home of the Birmingham organizer
OF the Metal Workers Industrial

urging a united front of all workers
regardless of color or race, and mass
picketing. The Mutual Aid seeing
the strikers accepting q militant
program betrayed the strike.
Organizers Of the A. W. I. L. re-
manned in the Valley after the
strike. A recruiting campaign was
begun and workers of all races
joined the A. W. !. L. in surprising
ly large numbers. A strike was
planned for early May, during the
cantaloupe season.
The ranchers alarmed at the rapid
progress being made instituted a
reign Of police terror. The labor
batter Sheriff Gillet intimidated
workers and organizers and broke
up meetings, but to no avail. In
stead organizational work went On
even more rapidly.
This Sheriff Gihet is the person
that brutally beat up workers dur
ing the strike, insulted Attorney
Gallagher of the I. L. D. and kicked
Mr.. Taft of the Civil Liberties. 1t
is we'll known that he raped a
Mexican woman in his Jail, but be-
ing faithful servant of the ranch
ers, is Of course not removed.
With the approach of the canta-
loupe season, the police under the
direction Of the ranchers and the
Gambler of Commerce have begun
reign of terror without parallel
in the history of southern Cali
fornia. Over 100 workers and or
ganizers were arrested and thrown
into the Valleys torrid prisons.
Thirty-seven are being charged with
criminal syndicalism and such ri
diculous charges as conspiring to
burn packing sheds and planning an
armed instruction. They are be-
ing held for the unheard Of amount
of $4,000 bail each, making a tota!
of S1,4S0,0O0 for all. The capital
list court working hand in hand
with the ranchers have set the date
of trial for May list, hoping to
cripple the coming strike.
Meanwhile strike plans are going
on even more rapidly then before.
The T. U. U. L.. has already sent
additional organizers to the valley.
The I. l.. D. has sent Attorneys
Gallagher and Solol to the Valley
and is modifying the workers in
Los Angeles and southern Cali
fornia to smash this new American
frame up and the W. I. f. has be-
gun campaign to raise strike
funds. Thus the American working
class answers.

French Woman Worker
Writes of Growing Fights
Glow | Would Like to Have Rifle!" Writes
Rebel Woman

The letter printed below from
French woman worker. en-
ployed in an engineering factory,
shows clearly the rising tide of
militancy among the working
women of France, as OF every
capitalist country.
yesterday the socialists organ
lied demonstration in Champigny.
The Communist Party issued call
to the workers to form counter
demonstration, and / must say that
we achieved a great success. Young
Communist League members organ
lied several contingents and also
groups of women. The men work.
ers responded to our call. They
were in fighting trim. 1t was mag
nificent and the fight went on all
day long. But what smack in the
face to the socialist detective.

about my contingent and how / had

and-blue banners with which the
municipality had decorated the
streets. Tore them into shreds and
dragged them on the ground. What
magnificent scene!
Gust at that moment the police
who were beside themselves with
rage, attacked US with their balons
striking us on the head. Many were
injured and taken to the hospital
The police agents were following US
and though many Of us fell they
did not take any notice and went on
beating and trampling us under
foot. 1t seems as if they did not
know how to give vent to their fury.
There were demonstrations in
all the streets Of the town. In many
places the socialists, who were pro-
tected by the police, were shouting
to the latter at the sight of the dem
onstrating workers: Kill them, kill
them"
"And like wild beasts the police
men threw themselves on us who
were shouting to express our hatred
of them. The lesson l learned from
this demonstration is--that if the
Communist Party knows how to go
about its work, the masses will be
with us. One could see yesterday
that the workers are feeling that

bulwark; they we're not afraid to

swer, There is not enough time

about the class struggle. 1 can feel
it every single day, in the shop, at
home, everywhere
Well, this is rapidly changing.
Workers are already realizing the
necessity of revolutionary educa-
ton.
That can be proven by the sue
cess of the Workers Schools estab-
lished by the Communist Party.
Particularly ! would like to deal
with our central school in New
York City.
The school is at present engaged
in a $4,000 Expansion Fund Drive
for the purpose of charging the
school in New York City, to estab-
lish self-study courses, and school
in the South.
I remember in Philadelphia about
five years ago a group Of comrades,
eager to study for the class strug-
gle, formed study circle. A conf
rade from New York would come
once week to Philadelphia to teach
us. Not much was accomplished.
And what about the hundreds of
other workers who could not get
even that much? Two years ago a
group of us working in a camp
wasted whole winter on studying.
Consequently without direction we
failed in our attempt.
The school must enlarge its quar-
tiers. In the fall term many work
ers were turned away or had to be
dropped from school due to over
crowded classes.
In other words, that means that
workers anxious to learn have to
wait for another opportunity to do
so. Furthermore. self-study courses
and branch schools will provide the
training for those who live or work
far away from the center, or those
who have not time to attend school,
but who could spare time. at home
for studies.

First Time in History
Call for Unity of Negro and White Workers
Against the Bosses

League was the work of these fas-
cist gangsters.
Despite all terrorism, despite
lynch law, the workers of the South
are on the march-mobilizing for
struggle. On May Day they will
give an impressive answer to the
boss men of the South and their
labor henchmen. In Chattanooga,
in Birmingham, in Rome, Georgia,
where the textile workers are pre-
pairing to strike; in Atlanta, where
Powers and Carr stand in the shad-
ow of the electric chair, hundreds
and thousands of workers will leave
the shops on May Day to join the
thousands Of unemployed workers
in revolutionary demonstrations.

not so far removed from the Talmadge
type that 1t could not be accomplished
successfully.
AS a play it is about the best enter
tainment you can find, even if it doesn't
subscribe to the demand of good play
structure. And without doubt the
movies will find way of inserting some
little lesson to prove to the audience
that ladies Of this sort meet their con-
signed punishment, even if it happens
to occur in the form of string of
pearls and an imported car or two.
After the Talmadge produces the
play locally-and We are beginning to
do quite a bit of this sort of thing out
