through terror, that they would have little
trouble from the Negroes. Then with the aid of
the leaders of the American Federation of Labor
and other reactionary unions, and of the social
list party, they believed that the idea of racial
inferority was being accepted by the Negroes,
and the idea of racial superiority was assumed
by the white workers, to such degree that the
relations of the two sections of the working class
were established for good-namely Of antagonism.
But the crisis has taught the workers-both
Negro and white-many lessons They have
learned or are beginning to learn that an attack
on one section of the working class Is for the
purpose of attacking the conditions of the other
sections An attack on the foreign born is for
the purpose of reducing the conditions of the
rest of the workers Similarly an attack on the
conditions of the Negro workers, tenant farmers
and sharecroppers is for the purpose of lower
ing the conditions of the white workers
The workers have learned that only through
united struggle can all sections of the working
class be helped. Only through militant fight
for Negro rights can the conditions of the white
workers be ensured. Therefore hundreds OF
thousands of white and Negro workers have re-
sponded to the call for the release of the Scots
boro Negro boys. $4,000 white and Negro work
ers in Chicago answered the attack and murder
of the three Negro workers in Chicago; 10000
responded against the murder Of the two Negro
workers in Cleveland. The shooting of Levey
the Negro worker, in New York last year, met
with similar response.
The fight for Negro rights Is the fight Of the
entire working class. The strike Of the miners
Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, was
an example of how white and Negro workers
struggle together against the bosses on the eco
romic field This struggle must be intensified
in the interest of the entire working class. To
spread it. to extend the idea of struggle for
Negro rights-against discrimination, Jim Crow
ism, for self-determination in the black belt
both among white and Negro workers-is the
function of the Liberator, the organ of the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights.
The subscription drive for the Liberator is on.
1t must be supported by all workers. The Lib
orator is organ not only for Negro workers
it is an organ for the entire working class. To
spread the organ is to help build up one of the
important organizations that unite the Negro
and white workers-the League Of Struggle for
Negro Rights. In this struggle, the Communist
Party takes the leading part, followed by the
revolutionary unions of the Trade Union Unity
League and other organizations that fight for
unity of the Negro and white workers
Every worker, who sees in the economic crisis
the need Of working class unity, to fight against
the bosses, their government and their leuten-
ants in and out of the ranks Of the working class
must be fighting supporter of and participant
in the struggle for Negro rights. One of the
most important duties in this fight is to be
