The Path OF Negro Reformism

and their growing tendencies toward unity of
struggle against the unbearable burdens of the
crisis. It is precisely at this moment that the
intensity Of the terror against the Negro masses
becomes for American imperialism most peces-
sary course Of procedure The cementing of the
unity of Negro and white workers at the mo-
ment when American capitalism is in its deepest
throes of crisis makes 1t a question Of extreme
danger to the ruling class and It's agents. 1t is
precisely because of the effects Of the crisis up
on the workers as a whole that this unity now
expresses itself in struggle.
On the one hand is reflected the growing
working class consciousness that the strength OF
the bosses lies in the weakness of working class
unity. On the other hand, the savage terror of
the bosses is preceded by a campaign Of lies and
SANDER in the white capitalist press against the
Negro masses, and a campaign Of equally vicious
calumny against the white workers in the re-.
forrnist Negro press The bosses are seeking to
arouse every white chauvinistic tendency they
have cultivated In the white workers. They hope
thus to turn the rage of the white workers
against the Negroes and distract their atten-
ton from the true source of their misery and
suffering. The Negro bosses seek to arouse the
nationalist moods OF the Negro masses and
direct them Unfortunately against I'll whites.
But the Negro and white workers are begin
and SANDER. Life itself has made OF the ques-
ton of working class unity historical question.
1t has become the greatest social demand Of the
working class. In the face OF mass unemploy-
ment and slasbing wage cuts, while millions are
payed in dividends to parasites; in the face OF
mass starvation, amid warehouses filled with
food; in the face of mass evctions of mem-
ployed workers it becomes increasingly obvious
10 them that only the common struggle of Ne
gro and white, native and foreign born workers
can defeat. the bosses program OF terror and
starvation This unity OF the working class gives
added strength to the workers counter offensive
against the bosses and raised to higher political
levels, Will accelerate the development OF that
counter offensive into direct attack against the
master class
The unity OF Negro and white workers Is what
the bosses ana their agents fear most II strikes

-HE terror OF the bosses against the Negro mas
ses is rot only being continued but is in
q easing in extent and intensity. The ruling
class WINS at the murderous attacks upon Will
Y. D2t-r1ol while Re is in the custody of its
armed thugs in the Birmingham, Ala, jail. John
C'oy-Ford and Edward Jackson are murdered in
tte NEST vicious fashion by the police in Cleve-
land at an unemployed demonstration, and the
hcsses' FOOLS go unpublished. The terror against
the Nero miners in Harlan, Ky, in Pennsyl-
Ia.lia Ohio and West Virginia goes on undated.
For company thugs deputies and police, it is
open season" for "niggers." New Ku Klux Khan
organizations are everywhere being formed. No
day passes without adding to the inhuman rec
o-d OF mob violence and lynching against them.
The bloody hand of the cotton barons and the
mill owners rests on the shoulder of Judge Lynch
directing him and his mrrderous tools.
The mob melting lynch provoking capitalist
class with its lying sanderous tales about Ne
PRO r6pigts conceals the trail of blood and its
directing hand wherever possible, But the fall
ure to bring the murderers Of Negro workers to
book is in itself evidence of the presence Of rld-
Ing cass direction. -.
these bloody events against the Negro masses
add but snother chapter in the long murder
record OF Americas ruling class. Already this
year the record notes the conviction OF the in
nocent Scottsboro victims; the massacre OF share
troopers in Camp Hill Ala, who sought only TO
organize the better to free themselves from their
slave conditions; the massacre Of the tnemploy-
ed workers in Chicago and 33 lynch law victims.
This legal and extra-legal boss terror is the
weapon by which that class maintains its sys-
ten OF super exploitation through seln1-slavery
and peonago over the Negro masses. This slave
level Of Negro life becomes the level towards
which the bosses are driving the white workers.
The bosses seek in the perpetuation of this sys-
tenn of robbery OF the Negro masses with the
aid of the misguided white workers to make OF
these white workers the Instruments Of their
own misery and poverty. THE acceptance by
white workers Of the bosses white chsuvinist
(uhite supremacy policy makes them the mair
tool by which the whole working cla5s Is OK
plotted At moment Of crisis it becomes more
than ever rcccaGry for the bosses to divide the
working class
1t is therefore not by accident that the wave
If ynching and of mob violence now develops
increased intensity. IT comedies with the deve- !,

fessionals and boss politicians, leaders of the re-
forrnist National Association for the Advance
ment OF Colored People, owners of property, bos-
ses themselves within the Negro ghetto, called
for the aid OF the murderous police 1t was they
who called forth the blood bath OF August 3.
The relatively weak position of the Negro
bourgeoisie is made many times weaker by virtue
Of the crisis. Theirs is extremely narrow
field of explotation--the Negro ghetto and the
Negro masses. Since the burdens Of the crisis
fall first and heaviest upon the weakest sections
Of the working -class-the Negro workers--the
market of the Negro bosses is hiG foremost and
hardest They see as their only relief a closer
union with American Imperialism. They too,
demand the protection Of the armed thugs of the
robber class. The rising discomfort of the Negro
masses and the growing tendency toward unity
with the white worker only fills the Negro bosses
with greater panic.
TO save their meagre profits they are openly
capitulating before American imperialism Even
the fiction OF struggle against social and political
oppression Is now scarcely maintained. The cn-
sis has brought about an open alignment OF Ne
gro and white bosses at the top Just and precisely
as It affects unity OF Negro and white workers
at the bottom Therefore the question Or the
struggle of the Negro masses for full social and
political equality and for the right OF self determ-
nation includes most desperate struggle
against Negro refornaisrn- -.~A.4-.-s.

The Way of A Boss With A
Maid
~ y0Ee

The way of man with a maid" is, or was
one of the seven wonders OF the world but Lord
& Taylor, one of the Fifth Avenue customers has
advertised the eighth wonder: The way of q.
boss with q maid-that is to say, a house-maid
In the N. Y Times their ad speaks thusly:
She may have heart of gold and a way of
her own with dust mop. But is she ornament
tal7 Does she strike the right note at tea
party2 Are you proud to have her answer the
doorbellp Try dressing her up in coloqs to har-
monte with your walls and drsperies; she's
really an important part OF your interior decora-
ton, you know"
And so on, coaxing the boss to buy housenasid
uniforms 1T $3.50
Now folks we frequently have TO correct soft
headed people who think that capitalists are Just
as foolshIy humanitarian as they are The
''run-ofmine" capitalist does not regard workers
as people, as human beings. And the Lord 81
Taylor advertisement proves that by its carefully
worded acceptance of the way housemaid
should be "harmonized with walls" like any other
piece of furniture.
She is not a human being to the boss, but a.
part of the interior decoration" Take her to
the shop for coat of varnish or a bit OF up
holstering-or, II she has too much upholstering
in spite Of twelve or sixteen hour day and a
diet Of left-overs, chuck her out and get one that
harmonizes with the draper1es! Yet these swine
pretend to be agonized over the revolutionary
workers of Soviet Russia on the excuse that they
are turned into robots'l
Well, housemaids, you are a part of the great
working class, and though you may not "strike
the right note" at a tea party, you had better
organize union to strike-yes, and do your part
to upset all tea parties of your socaed "betters"
by joining the party of revolution, the Com
munist Party. Fight for the right to be human
beings.

LEAGUE ORDERS
SECRECY IN
DOPE QUIZ
Expurgated Reports Only to

Big Drug Dealers Charged

GENEVA, April IA USD. "A
sensation has been created here
by a new secret order of The
League of Nations, virtually sup
pressing minutes of meetings
dealing with regulation of opium
production and control.
Instead of keeping a verbatim
record of committees dealing with
the dope vice and kindred hu-
manitarian subjects, the League
will prepare only an expurgated
version.
FavOritism Charged
This action follows close on the
heels Of charges that the League
has been favoring the moncyed
drug interests rather than the
unfortunate victims of dope in
preparing for the international
Narcotics Conference here May q
Secretary-general, Sir Eric Drum,
mond, of Great Britain, is respon.
Sible for the order, which was
transmitted secretly to secretariat
officials as Special Circular No.
T." and which virtually sets up
Drummond as a censor.
Write Reports Later
According to the new order,
procedure in opium meetings
hereafter will be as follows:
An official attending the meet
ings will listen to the debates and
afterward write reports paraphraS-
ing such of the discussions as he
thinks advisable, and from these
fragmentary accounts the com
mittee's secretary will later COM
pile the permanent record.

gates to see their remarks before
printing is abolished, but it is pro-
vided that if a committee balks
