The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-03


on a campaign against the Negro |
workers. Norman Thomas refuged
to speak to Negro workers in the
south dur77 the r~agdcntial e.
paign. Haywood Broun said he
would not fight for the enforcement
even of the 14th and 18th amend
ments. Both of these gentlemen are
Leaders of the sociolist party. CrcsG-
waith ard Philip Randolph the So
cialist organized the Pullman Por,ers
Union-and on the very eve OF the
strike, with the aid of William
Green, president of the A. F. of L.,
they called off the strickland the
conditions of the Pullman Porters
got worse. These two gentlemen are
also socialists.
At the Finnish socialists Hall in
Harlem, only few days ago, a Negro
was thrown out of the Place. This
is a socialist hall-and the white
socialists did not protect him. Only
the COMMUNISTS fight for the
rights of the Negroes, while the re-
publicans, democrats and socialists,
mouth phrases, but their ACTIONS
chow where they stand.
Facing hunger, starvation, evic-
tons, disease, jimcrowism, sc3rega-
ton, what do the white and Negro
leaders of the National Association
for the Advancement OF Colored
People do? Have they done any,
thing to relieve the conditions of the
Negro workers? Have they fought
against high rents, evict.ons, for re-
lief? They have not, All they have
done is to lie, SANDER and attack
the COMMUNISTS, because they
have united the revolutionary
white and Negro workers to save the
nine Scottsboro boys, the Camp Hill
sharecroppers etc. William Pickens,
Walter White, Rosenwald (the Chi
cago white millionaire), Colonel
Spingarn (the white boss), areIunited
in their campaign of lying and
SANDER against the SONTMUNISTS,
because the COMMUNISTS are
uniting the white and Negro workers
to fight against the bosses and their
| tools.
This is the fight that the COM
MUNISTS alone are carrying on
and the fight will go on till the
Negro and white workers toge her,
men and women, are united and
defeat the boss class.
The Negroes suffer from discrimi-
nation. They see no possibility of
getting free from the damnable sys-
tenn that is crushing them. There
fore, the dream of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association for
the Negroes to go back to Africa.
This dream has been shattered by
the League of Nations, by the U. S.
and British governments. Harvey
Firestone' will not allow the Ameri-
can Negroes to go to Liberia. He
wants to exploit the natives for his
own profit. The U. S. government
which does nothing TO prevent
lynching, which denies the Negroes
their rights in every form, will not
allow the Negroes to go to Liberia,
The League of Nations laughs at all
proposals. 1t is a boss institution
directed both against the Negro,
white, yellow and all workers.
Why should the Negroes go back to
Africa? They have helped to build
up this country-but the bosses own
1t. 1t is the mission of the working
class Of the United States, white
and Negro, under the leadS-sii-p OF
the Communist Party, to fight for
the control of this country. The
COMMUNISTS alone fight for this
control. The COMMUNISTS de-
clare that the Negroes have the right
of self-determination in the black
belt of the south, where they are the
majority, the right to govern the
states and communities, with the
whites having the right only of
minorities. The COMMUNISTS are
organizing and uniting the revolu-
Vionary white and Negro workers for
this Highland for this the CON-
MUNISTS are hated and feared by
the Ku KluXe-s, the bosses, who
want the white and Negro workers
divided, so that they can exploit all
of us.
Negro Workers: This election
campaign is only part of the fight.
The republicans, democrats, and
especially the socialists, are making
all kinds of promises. The Commu-
mist Party makes no promises. The
Communist Parry only pledges to
carry on the fight against discrimi-
nation, segregation and jimcrow,sm
mot in words, but in action. The
Communist Party organizes Unem-
rloyed Councils to fight for unem-
ployment relief and insurance at,the
expense of the bosses and the gov
eminent, with no discrimination
against Negro workers; to fight
against evictions, high rents, unsani-
tary cond,tions-not in words, but in
acton. The Communist Party or
ganizes unions Of the Trade Union
Unity League against ware GUS,
! specd-up and rotten conditions in
the shops. The Communist Party
fights AGAINST a new world war,
which will mean only suffering for
the workers. The Communist
