Calls Conference for
May II

NEW YORK.-In continuation of
the struggle against the increasing
campaign of terror directed by the
bosses against the Negro and for
eign-oorn workers, the city commit
tee of the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights called a conference
yesterday afternoon at the Finnish
Workers Hall, Is w. 126th St. to
mobilize for a broad United Front
Conference, to be held on May II,
against lynching and deportations.
Due to poor organization of yester-
days meeting only 20 delegates. rep
resenting about a dozen organiza-
tons, were present.
In order to overcome these Short
comings, the conference decided to
hold another preparatory meeting
before the United Front Conference
on May II. This will be held on
April II. Resolutions were passed
urging all working class organiza-
lions to elect delegates to this prep
aratory meeting as well as to the
United Front Conference on May IT,
Yesterdays meeting was called to
order by Comrade Welsh. Comrade
William Patterson was elected chair
man. Comrade Welsh made a re-
port on the work of the L. S. N. r.
and pointed out the necessity of
pushing the work of mobilizing the
white and Negro workers, native and
foreign born, for resistance to the
terror campaign against the foreign
born and Negro workers, and of
bringing out huge masses Oh May
Day for demonstration against this
persecution, against wage-cuts and
starvation, against imperialist war.
Comrade Edwards, reporting for
the Young Liberators, declared the
conference must be linked up with
the question of unemployment and
pointed out that the boss terror
against the Negro and foreign-born
workers is being intensified because
OF the attempt Of the bosses to solve
the economic crisis at the expense of
the working class.
Others who took the floor include
Comrade Gordon of the Council of
Working Women, Comrade Berner of
the German Bureau, Comrade Sklar
OF the Novy Mir, all pledging mill
tant support in the struggle for Ne
gro rights and against deportations
and .lynching.

HILLMAN SELLING
ANOTHER STRIKE
"'2lgamated t e Ii S
Them to Arbitrate

The Daily News Record, New
York trade paper, tells of strike of
unorganized mems clothing workers
in the P. H. Davis plant in Gin
cinnati. About 700 workers received
wage cut, and considerable num-
Der of them walked out on strike.
The Amalgamated Clothing work
ers Immediately got busy to betray
this walk out. Jack Kroll manager
o fthe Cincinnati joint board of the
Amalgamated had some of the strik-
ers up in his Office, took over con-
troll of the strike, and then issued
this statement to the press:
I'VE exceedingly regret the neces-
Sity of this controversy. but under
stand that attempts have been made
by the workers for an amicable set
tlement of their grievances, and
am sure that the workers even onw
would be willing to submit all mat
tiers to an impartial board"
This is the same old arbitration
swindle by which shop after shop has
got wage cut, with the blessings of

BY CYRIL BRIGGS

NEW YORK. In their treacherous
attempt to divert the Negro masses
from the revolutionary struggle
against the bosses hunger system
and for real relief and unemploy-
ment insurance. the Harlem Negro
reformists are arranging for parade
in Harlem on April 18th under the
misleading slogan Of fight against
unemployment.
Admitting that thousands Of Negro
workers are walking the streets of
Harlem unable to secure work, that
the sidewalks "are Uttered with fur
niture" of workers dispossesSed by
Negro and white landlords, that
children are crying for bread-and
there is no money to buy it." these
takers are attempting to narrow
down the struggle against unem-

Harlem. The boycott movement is
offered as complete solution for the
tragic situation of the Negro I'M
employed, and as a substitute for
Joint revolutionary mass action of
Negro and white workers in the
struggle for unemployment relief. 1t
is in reality an attempt to utilize the
misery of the masses for the
strengthening of the Negro petty
bourgeoisie under the old fake slogan
of race loyalty" which, in the
schemes of the Negro business men
behind the movement means loyalty
to themselves, loyalty to Negro bust

ski, will be presented at the Prov

vast creative powers of the masses

in the building.

ent to where Negroes spend tn cir
money, whether with white shop
keepers or with Negro shop-keepers.
Neither group has any claim on the
loyalty fthe Negro workers, whose
loyalty is to their class and not to
either Negro or white eXploiters.
Negro workers know from bitter ex-
perience that Negro landlords and
other business men will rob and OPP

white landlords and other exploiters.
The real purpose of the Negro
takers is not to secure relief for the
Negro unemployed-a few thousand
Jobs in Harlem stores will not relieve
the misery of the tens of thousands
of unemployed in Harlem. Their real
aim is to smash the growing unity
of white and Negro workers in the
joint struggle against starvation and
evictionS, and for immediate relief
and unemployment insurance.
The Negro workers must repudiate
all traitors who would divert them
from a real struggle against starva-
ton. Negro workers. Don't be mis-

Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily
 Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly a stubborn cough or chest cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It's no trOu- ble at all to mix and costs but a trifle.
 Into a pint bottle, pour 2@ ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you purer, better remedy. It never spells, and tastes good-children like it.
 You can actually feel it's penetrat.. ing, soothing action on the unframed throat membranes. It is also absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. At the same time, it promptly loosens the germ-laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why 1t brings such quick relief even in severe bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of genuine Norway Pine. con taining the active agent of creos0te, in refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles.
 Do not accept substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money yetunded.

COMMUNITY ACTION
 ON UNEMPLOYED
Russell Sage Foundation Survey Contains Much
 Valuable Information
THE WATERBURY PLAN

The report prepared on unemploy-
 ment by the Russell Sage Founda- tion contains some valuable infor-
 nation. particularly the state ment that preparation to meet such
 emergencies should be planned and in readiness before there is any real demand for assistance from large numbers. The limit is put al ! five years in advance of the de- pression. and if not then as soon as possible.
 The report refers to the large number of common laborers found in communities when an unemploy- ment situation presents itself, many of whom have no place they call home, and must be cared for where they happen to be at the time.
 Without such labor. the report states, communities could not func- tion. Another paragraph removes responsibility for care of the needy in unemployment cases and puts 1t 'on the shoulders of others. On this
 point the following paragraph speaks for itself:
 There is burden of work, over and above that caused or aggravated by unemployment, for the care of which social agencies are responsi- ble, sickness. insanity, death, widow hood, orphanhood occur in good times and bad. Homes are broken up from other causes than unem- ployment. Boys and girls get into trouble even though their fathers are not without a job. The social agencies cannot lay aside all other burdens to deal with the unem- ployed, though there is no social agency worthy of the name which does not expect to make special ef- forts to extend It's work at such a time. even while it recognizes that it is being asked to get under a bur den that lies properly at the door of industry"
 The report contains a lot of rec concentrations as to the best way of meeting unemployes emergencies, among which are giving preference in employment to residents, thus placing responsibility where 1t be- longs each community taking care of it's own; that emergency com mittees should use their influence against cuts in wages, even though total earnings have to be lowered through part time work; that every firm in a position to do so give req sonable assurance to its employees concerning securing of jobs, thereby anticipating unnecessary hording of funds, fear and other demoralizing effects.
 The report covers a lot of ground, but contains much valuable infor- nation, but after all careful read ing fails to disclose anything worth while not already in force by the mayors committee in this city.
 Waterbury has always taken the ground that the first line of defense
 in a crisis such as the country is
 now passing through should be composed of food, fuel and clothing These they supplied without delay and then took up consideration of ways and means to meet the ex- pense. The plan is working out in a most satisfactory manner. and the funds are being raised by people ir all walks of life.

Detroit Priest Is
 Radio Sensation
Sunday Night Talks of Rev Charles E. CoughIin Bring
 Both Praise and Complaints to Crusading Preacher

Speak of Detroit and ones mind naturally conjures up picture of Henry Ford and the immense Ford factories. Detroit is also famous for it's Woodward avenue. You can drive along 1t for mile after mile, the eX- act number is hard to compute. But just fourteen miles from the center of Detroit on Woodward avenue is a small frame church. A tiny sign proclaims it shrine of the Little Flower"
 It is the pastorate of the Rev Charles F. Coughlin, whose week ly broadcast over the Columbia net work of stations is attracting nation wide attention just at present. Father Coughlin is one of those fearless speakers who does not equivocate. He has always been known as an eloquent orator even before he was made pastor at the Shrine of the Little Flower. Lately his talks on the question of labor and capital have brought him into
