The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-09-11

garian, Mexican, Italian or English worker.
He considers himself superior to the workers
of a different race, such as Negro, Chinese
Japanese or Filipino worker. He sees the for
eign born worker can come to this country to
improve his condtion-therefore this must
indicate the superiority of this country Of
which he is native. The native white work
er, greatly skilled worker, has refused to
do work which had then to be assigned to
foreign-born worker or Negro worker. The
native worker has been disinclined to organize
the foreign-born and has not permitted the
organization of the Negro workers, because
both have been chiefly unskilled or semi
skilled workers. This is capitalist propaganda
taken over and put into practice by the re-
dictionary leaders of the workers. This keeps
the workers divided and unorganiZed.
Why Are Negroes Unskilled?
Why has the Negro worker been compelled
to do the unskiled and semi-skilled work?
Because only two generations ago he was
"freed from slavery" and has had little OPP
portunity for education, he has been denied
work and has been Disseminated against in
every way.
Today the situation has somewhat changed
The sharp economic crisis is compelling the
workers to take any jobs they can obtain
The skilled worker has been replaced by the
automatic machine and conveyor system and
now shoulder to shoulder the workers stand
at the factory gate and employment office
asking for the same job.
In this situation, the bosses and these work
ers who are infected by the bosses propaganda
are demanding work for american" workers.
Foreign-born and Negro workers are being
fired and Americans being given their places.
In their minds american" does not include
Negro workers, who have been in this country
many more generations than most "native
whites can boast The result is an intensifi-
cation of the struggle between the white and
colored workers, which is deepened by boss
propaganda. Incensed at the propaganda and
discrimination, the Negroes have become rest
less and under Communist leadership have de-
veoped militancy and the answer of the
bosses is lynch terror. This deepens the cleft
between the white and Negro worker, and the
prejudice of the white worker becomes intense
national chauvinism. The bosses are doing
everything to increase it for they know that
a united working class means the end of capt.

In USSR Race Hatred Is Punishable Crime.
This is in capitalist America. But in the
Soviet Union where there are 220 national-
ties, races and tribes, each worker, without
discrimination, is fitted into his job and has
every opportunity to develop. Anything that
tends to weaken the unity of the working class
or create class division is considered crime
against the whole working class.
What the workers and peasants of the So
Wet Union have done and are doing is the aim
of the Communist Party and revolutionary
unions Of the Trade Union Unity League in
the United States. They are struggling for
the fighting unity of the working class--native
and foreign-born, white and colored workers.
They are demanding equal economic political
and social equality for the Negro workers.
They are organizing white and colored work
ers into revolutionary industrial unions. They
are taking Negro revoutionists into the Com
munist Parry Any member of the Party or
TUUL who Liings into or manfests netional
chauvinism in 'he organization, persists in it
AMI shows It in action, is expelled from the
Party or TUUL as guilty Of the crime Of
