hired, not only are they given the most dill
ficult and disagreeable tasks at the lowest
wages, not only-are they segregated and jim
crowed, distinguished and denied every or
binary right of human beings, but on top OF
all this shameful oppression which stinks of
the whole system of slavery, they are sub
mitted to a system of lynch law and violence
unprecedented in the history of any nation
or any race.
It is a weekly occurrence in this country
for Negro worker to be seized, usually from
the hands of complaisant officers of the law
who have previously disarmed him, by
murderous mob which tears his body to
pieces and burns the remains.
Investigate This.
If the Fish Committee wants to know why
the Negroes are more and more turning to
Communism, let, them investigate especially
what is going on in the constituency of Mr..
Bachman of West Virginia, in the consti-
tuency of Mr.. Eslick of Tennessee, in the
constituency of Mr.. Hall of Mississippi.
While the supporters of Messrs. Bachman,
Eslick and Hall are lynching the disfran-
chised Negroes, the Communists are leading
the fight for complete equality and self
determination for the Negroes. While United
States senators, such as Blease, are declar-
ing ''to hell with the Constitution if it is
barrier to lynching a Negro, the Commu-
nists are organizing defense corps of white
and black workers to fight against all lynch
ing mobs.
This is why the Negroes no longer trust
the representatives of American capitalism,
and why the Communist Party influence is
growing among the Negro masses.
The oppression of Negroes, like that of
the entire working class, is carried through
by common agreement of republican, dem
ocratic and socialist parties alike. The re-
publican and democratic parties, in office and
out of office, have uniformly made scraps of
paper of the 18th and 18th amendments to
the constitution.
The socialist party, hungry for office,
rushes to assure it's republican and demo-
cratic elder brothers that they will do the
same if they only get the chance. Heywood
Broun, who has recently achieved proni-
nence as leader of the socialist party de-
clared April &c. 1880: eff were a candidate
for high executive office, or judicial office,
I would say, even without being cornered,
that | would not now sanction the efforts
to enforce the 14th and 18th amendments to
the constitution sof the United States" All
this policy is designed to destroy the unity
of the working class, and extract special
super profits out of the labor of the workers.
The Fsreign Born, Too.
New blows against the workers are being
prepared in the measures endorsed by the
spokesman of the Fish Committee, which
are now before Congress, for registration
and finger printing of foreign born workers
and the adoption of more drastic deporta-
ton laws and limitation of immigration.
This special persecution of the foreign
born workers. which is accompanied by mass
dismissals of foreign born from the factories
and from municipal employment, by dis
elimination against the foreign born in. un-
employment relief and so on, is all part of
the capitalist strategy to divide the workers into
tagonstic groups setting one against the other and
turning the attention of both away from their real
enemy, the capitalist exploiters.
The Communists are leading and organizing the
fight of the against these special prosecutions
and determinations.
On the Farms, AS Well
1t is not only in the cities that the masses are
feeling the destructive blows of the crisis of capital
ISM Also on the farms we witness hunger poverty
wholesale bankruptcies, dispossession of hundreds of
thousands of farmers, the most tremendous overpro-
duction of wealth and the consequent ruin and starva
ton of those who produced 1.-THE millions of starv
ing farmers. There is no escape for the unemployed
in the cities to go to the land because from the
land there is streaming into the cities millions
of impoverished farmers to join the starving armies
of the unemployed.
Every farming community today is witnessing sher-
if sales in which impoverished farmers being dis
Sof their last few remaining bits of private
property Upon the farm, Also the rich are growing
richer and the poor sinking into starvation
The fake relief measures of the Hoover admins
tration have already been exposed as nothing but in
struments for the further enrichment of the banks
railroads, and local exploiters
Only the Communist Party proposes and fights for
real relief measures for the impoverished farmers the
suspension of all dspossessions securing of the free
of the land to the farmer who tills it, the fur
nshing of material relief to the poorest farmers in
stead of additional profits to the rich farmers and
expoiters-ths is the nature of Communist activities
among the farmers Of the u S. These are the causes
for the spread OF Communism in the agricultural COM
nunities of this country
The A. F. L--Strike- Breaking Instrument.
In the industries, the workers are learning by bitter
experience the true meaning of the notorious Hoover
Green agreement for no strikes and no wage cuts
