Interracial Picnics to
Mark Cooperation

New York, April z (CNA)-The
American Negro Labor Congress
and the Workers International Re-
lief of the Organization which well
comes the Negro children into its
summer camps and social activities,
will help celebrate Toussaint L.
Overture anniversary with a joyous
outing.
Following the splendid success of
its interracial dances during the
month of March, the American
Negro abor Congress announces the
cooperation of the Workers In
ternational Relief in staging inter-
racial picnics throughout the United
States to mark the anniversary of
the great Haitian revolutionary
fighter Toussaint L'Overture on
May 10Th. These picnics will be
given for the benefit of the Liberia
tor, the weekly newspaper of the
ANLC, and for the establishment
of the Young Pioneer Camp, which
are organized by the WIR.
The practice of discriminating
against Negro children in the Boy
Scout Camps and activities is no
torious. The capitalist system can
not allow even the children of work
ers to fraternize, since this would
furnish the incentive for all work
ers to stand solidly against the
bosses. The Young pioneers on the
other hand realize that interracial
solidarity is the first essential in the
fight the working class must make
for better conditions, and they
properly maintain that interracial
solidarity begins with the children
This year the Young Pioneers
plan to Establish summer camps in
New York, Boston, Detroit, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
Southern illinois, Superior, Wise,
Duluth, Mimi, San Francisco and
Greenville, N. C. The police and
the city authorities will make every
effort to terrorize the leaders in
this movement from putting their
plans into operation. This will be
especially true of the South where
white workers are arrested for ap-
pearing on the same platform with
Negro speakers.
