to Hear Report of the
ST. Louis Convention

NEW YORK.-At its second meet
ing since the st. Louis Convention
the Board of Directors of the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights for
mulated plan of immediate activl-
ties which include the calling OF
meetings of American Negro Labor
Congress locals for the purpose OF
hearing reports on the convention and
voting on affiliation with the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights.
1t was also decided to call meet
ings throughout the country OF the
delegates who attended the various
anti-lynching conferences for the
purpose of hearing reports on the
convention so that the delegates can
report to their respective organiza-
tons on the decisions of the con-
vention and on the aims and pro-
grams Of the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights which was created at
the convention.
The board decided that the main
question to be stressed at these meet
ings must be support for the Liberia
tor, with the question of utilization
to the League as secondary. This,
the board points out, does not mean
that utilization is unimportant, but
that the question of support for the
Liberator is most important and at
the same time opening the way for
the question of affiliation.

"Igdenbu" Now Plays
At 9Th st. Playhouse

The new Amkino picture,
"Igdenbu,' which is showing at the
Eighth st. Playhouse. does for the
Gold tribe OF Siberia what "Nanook'
did for the Esquimaux OF North
America. This ittle-known off-slloot
OF the Monaghan race, gentle and
peaceable people, lives in the cold
svamp-lands of Siberia, in small
communities that are like large fam
lilies. getting their subsistence from
hunting and fishing. Their existence
is SO simple that it is almost primi-
tive, with so little acquaintance with
the methods and tools OF modern
civilization that when nature fails
them they have nothing between
them and starvation.
The central character in the pic
ture is Igdenbu, the tribes most
skilful hunter. His story is not fic-
tion--it is a real record Of life in the
Siberian wilderness, made without
the use of professional actors or any
other studio device to reproduce &C
tuality. Native members of the diff
ferent Nomad Camps are the figures
in the simple plot that serves as a
frame for this picture of reality And
there are many animals. It will sur
prise some people to find tigers IN
this snow-covered country, prowline
about the camps to snatch dog that

ture beginning Wednesday and con-

ASKS SUPPORT
FOR W.I,R. BAZAAR
In New York on Jan
2, 3 and 4

NEW YORK-Th mass unemploy-
ment among the workers of New
York and throughout the country,
wage-cuts, speed-up and the general
poverty and misery of the working
class which is the result of the deep
ening crisis in capitalism, is devel-
oping widespread resistance on the
part of the working class.
This resistance is evidenced in the
growing economic and political strug-
giles of the workers against capital
ism.
The Workers International Relief
is the specific agency of the work
ing class movement for the mobiliZs-
ton and organization of relief in all
such struggles. 1t has raised tens
and thousands of dollars in strike
and struggle relief in the Gastonia
strike, in the furriers' strike, in the
shoe workers struggles. for the build
ing of camps for workers children,
etc.
The Workers International Relief,
in order to fulfill its function as the
workers agency for relief in strug-
gle, must be built and supported by
the workers and their organizations;
it must be made into a living mass
organization, with vast network OF
affiliated workers organizations pre-
pared to work with it and support 1t.
In order to strengthen itself, and
increase its working-cla activities,
the Workers International Relief is
holding a Bazaar on Jan. 2, 3 and 4.
The United Councils of Working
Glass Women is running this bazaar
jointly with the w. !. r.
On the basis of the need for relief
in the coming dress strike, for the
mass unemployed hunger marches
for the building of next summer
camps for workers children, etc, the
w. I. R. appeals to all workers and
workers organizations to help make
this bazaar success, by selling honor
roll stamps, soliciting ads for the
souvenir program, sale of bazaar
tickets, etc.

WASHINGTON CONFERENCE CALLS
FOR PROTECTION OF FOREIGN
BORN AND NEGRO WORKERS
Emphasizes Need of United Front Against
Boss Attacks On the Working Class and
Defeat of Deportation Measures
Native White Workers. in Defense of Their
Interests, Must Rally In Defense Of Negro
and Foreign Born

The conference called upon the
native white workers to join with the
foreign born and Negro workers in
resisting these attacks, pointing out
that IF the SO million foreign born
could be terrorized into submission;
if the other millions Of Negroes could
be frightened into not defending
their interests; then the native born
workers, separated from the rest of
the working class would become de-
fenseless and forced to bear the suf-
ferings brought on by unemployment
wage cuts, and savage attacks
tasegotheirau
The conference demanded the OBJ
clifton of all discriminatory laws and
practices against foreign born and
Negro workers, abolition of the ex-
clusion clauses barring Chinese, jap
anese and Hindus from entering the
United States: and laid down the
basis for united action of Negro and
white, native and foreign born work
ers through the immediate holding of
united front conferences throughout
the country to mobilize the masses
for defense of the foreign born and
Negro workers and for the election
of delegates TO present demands to
the State legislature, city boards of
aldermen, and for the holding OF
mass demonstrations to give force
to these demands

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IA
The recent national conference for
the Protection of Foreign Born, which
united white and Negro, native born
and foreign born, industrial workers
and agricultural laborerS, etc, issued
p warming and call to action to the
working-class to unite in a solid
front in order to defeat the bosses
attacks on the working-class and
their tactics of singing out Negro
and foreign born workers for the
most vicious blows.
The Call points out that the bosses
cannot suppress the struggles of the
workers and the resistance to starva-
ton and eyictions of over 100000
unemployed workers, if the working
class is united Therefore, in order
to save bosses profits and to weaken
the working-class, the government
wants to divide the workers so as
to defeat them easily. These are
the reasons for the mass deportation
OF foreign born, and for the proposals
like. the Gable Bill, Ashwell Bill,
Blease Bill and the proposals of the
Fish Committee to register, and fin
gerprint the foreign born as a pre-
parstory step to extend the identi-
hcation system to the native born
workers also. Therefore the discri-
nlination against foreign born and
Negroes, forcing them to work for
lower wages than the native white
workers"

COL. MISLEADERS
in Mild PROTEST

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IA
With its reformist, petitionist policy
meeting the usual stone wall of Of
fetal contempt, the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, today issued vail in
connection With the appointment by
President Hoover of the Anti-Negro,
labor misleader William N. Doak, to
the post of Secretary of Labor.
The NJ A. A. c. P. reveals that it
privately petitioned Mr.. Hoover as
long ago as last January to please
not appoint Doak to his cabinet
In public letter to Hoover this time,
the reformist Negro organization
declares:
THE N. A. A. c. P. views with
great regreat the appointment to SO
important post of one who has in
SO many ways shown himself to be
completely lacking in sympathy with
the aims of Negro labor"
The Negro petty bourgeois press,
whose customary function 1t is To
engage in sham protests against re-
publican treachery between elections
while defending and apologizing for
tn republicans during election cam
paigns, is greatly concerned over the
appointment of Dosk 1t means ar
additional affront to the Negro
masses to be explained away at cleo
ton time.
Kelly Miller, worst Judas Of the
petty bourgeois group which regular
~ betrays the struggles Of the Negro
masses, also sees a job cut out fof
him, convinced that the Negro masses
will resent this latest Hoover APP
pointment of an enemy of the Negro
workers. Miller Is afraid that "the
recent assignment Of Mr., Doak to q
cabinet portfolio speaks SO plainly
and loudly that he who runs may
hear"
This traitor, who at the recent fake
anti-lynching congress of the Ma
tional Equal Rights League, preached
respect for the law ard order Of
the system which, gives birth tc
lynching, jin-crowisn. segregation
etc, now admits that in its attitude
towards the Negro masses there is ne
difference between the republican
party and tn democratic party. "Tht
two parties are approaching parity
