THE CRISIS AND THE NEGRO
WORKERS IN THE u S.

League, the boss got his spies and stool pigeons
to watch the workers and prevent them from
joining the union. The boss found out that
there was a large number OF girls that wanted
to Join the union so he fired 25 girls to maintain
his system of exploitation and oppression.
The Negro workers are now beginning to rea
lie what the Communist Party had been telling
them months before the elections. They realize
that the capitalist class, black or white will do
nothing for the workers until they are forced
by the organized might and power OF the work.
ing class. The boss class seeing the crisis getting
worse and worse every day, especially among the
Negro workers, they thought it best to put a few
more belly crawling Negro misleaders to shoot
more poison into the minds of the Negro work.
ers The democratic and republican parties set
up Negro decoys as judges to fool the Negro
workers.
In the course of this setting up, there was a
fellow by the name of Hamilton Fish, who came
to a Harlem church to assist the Negro decoyS.
Fish openly told the crowd Of more than a hun
bred stofekeepers, gangsters and bootleggers that
we're present that the Negro people did not need
social equality, Mr. Fish deliberately said that
the only thing the Negro needs is political equal
ity, and that have plenty of that right here!
Then he pointed to the decoy sitting on the
platform in back Of him.
The Negro workers of Harlem will not accept
the lies of Mr.. Fish or any of his class, but they
will organize under the banner of the Commu-
mist Party and will fight like hell until the whole
system of capitalism is abolished and will set up
a Workers and Farmers Government In the
United States.

of the first rules of the Communist Party is The

Therefore have made complete break with

work for the Party and to fight all enemies of

slippery tricks of the Salvation Army which was
supposed to administer" the money raised.
The Major has become deeply suspicious Of
the way the Salvation Screamers are handling
the cash, as well he might, according to our
opinion. He is so very suspicious that he says:
1.-The committee of which I am member will
require that every cent be used Immediately to
relieve unemployment within the metropolitan
area of New York, and that final. accounting
be made to U.s. If necessary, certified public
accountant will be called in"
1t seems that the Major became sore when
Salvation Army officials announced that the
money was given them with no strings and to
use as they see fit" And alongside that tha

The Party Full Time National
Training School

beyond doubt that the political influence OF our
Party on the working masses in this country Is
growing from day to day. The recent state cleo
tons also demonstrated that not only do the
workers turn to the Party for leadership in their
struggles, but that the exploited farmers are be-
ginning to look upon the Party as the real
leader of the exploited masses Of the country.
This was demonstrated by the recent election
returns from North and South Dakota, where
the vote for the candidates on the Communist
Party ticket was three to four times the vote of
the 1928 elections.
The further deepening of the crisis which is
manifested in the recent crash of many banks
in the East and the West, will accentuate the
struggle on the part of the workers and exploited
farmers. 1t is necessary for our Party to supply
leadership to the masses to translate the dis
content of the masses into organized militant ac-
ton against the capitalist system.
Our 4prces at present are insufficient; the dis
crepancy between the political influence of the
Party and its organizational strength is due to
the shortage of comrades capable of carrying on
our work among the masses. The problem of de-
veoping additional cadres of active comrades is
therefore, the central problem before the Party.
The developing of new cadres of active members
is carried out primarily through the active par
ticipation in the class struggle; but theoretical
training is just as equally essential. without
revolutionary theory there can be no revolution
airy movement. "--Lenin.
The National Training School decided on by
the Party Plenum will prepare a number of
comrades for active leadership and will greatly
relieve the present shortage of forces. The dis
tricts must carry on the campaign for sending
students to the school. with utmost energy
This is a major problem for the districts and
the Party as whole Quick and energetic ac-
ton will insure the success of the school.

oDAY, with the deepening of the economic
crisis in the United States, we find the Negro
5rkers the hardest hit. They are the last to be
red and the first to be fired. In the South

carnations to scare the militant Negro work
and to keep them from organizing into the
mmunist Party and the revolutionary unions.

Can't Make A Dent

Recently when some congressman called O.
Hoover to furnish congress with a copy of the
report of Mr.. Wood, head of the Emergency En-
ployment mot unemployment" get thatD Com
mission, it turned out that Wood had made no
report" and Hoover added, that Wood had only
submitted some notes"
Any worker who takes Hoover's Commission
seriously is badly mistaken. 1t is clear that 1t
was appointed just before election merely as a
stall, and not to do anything Because any fed
eral commission, supposedly active and holding
sessions for three months on unemployment IN
the middle of such crisis either has something
to report or is pure fake, Hoover's Commission
had nothing to report"
Now comes somebody associated" with the
Commission, who evidently takes his Job kinda
serious His name is DR.. Bryce Stewart, but he
spoke, not as an associate" with Hooyers Com
mission, but as executive secretary of the COM
mittee on governmental labor statistics of the
American Statistical Association"
Stewart spoke at Cleveland at social science
session of the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science. And he said, brothers,
and you should get this because Hover seems to
ignore it, that employment has dropped 35.7 per
cent in the last Is months, that it is still declin-
ing and even when it stops declining, 1t will take
at least sixteen months, or up to the Spring Of
1892, for industry to return to normal employ
ment.
Without entering into discussion on that
one THING Is cl3m: that Hoover and his COM
mission Is hiding the extent of unemployment
