When the Civil Service Com
mission offices closed last night,
a total Of 1853 applications had
been filed for examination for
the position Of Metropolitan po-
hcenan and Public Park police
man in the District. Since appli-
cations mailed yesterday, the

main purpose of the examina-

A Strange Phenomenon

Unemployment in New York City, according to
Salvation Army reports published in the N x.
Times of Feb % (Which is Washingon's birthday,
please noteD, is growing worse-"in spite of an
evident willingness on the part Of employers to
retain as many workers possible"
Now this is queer. If the employers are will
ing to keep workers then why the devil don't
they? One might inquire, of course, how the.
dickens the Salvation Army knows the employers
are willing" But the little joker on the tail of
the mystery-as many workers "as possible
lets them out.
1t isn't possible for the employers, perhaps,
to continue increasing dividends on watered
stock, to continue spending the winter in Florida,
to continue buying the new models Gears and
girls) to continue living on the fat Of the land
and still retain all their workers.
So retaining half of them is all that is pos
sible" and wage cut and speed increase to
make up for those who are thrown out.
Get together workers, employed and jobless to-
getherl And let the employers know that you
insist on unemployment Insurance from all these
employers, whether they are willing" or notl

Oh, But We're Moral!

The law instroduced in Congress providing
for an embargo against goods produced by con-
vict labor by forced labor has perfect joke
of a "joker7 in it. sH
1t says that no such goods shall be allowed to
enter the United States apparently because g
would cause our sensitive souled capitalists to
SILVER all over With disgust at having to touch
goods produced by such unfortlnates
But, then, it goes ahead and says. that goods
produced by such unfortunates shall not be barred
from our fair land "provided'-get hatl--pro-
vided they are commodities necessary to our
industries and which cannot be supplied other
wise shan by such Importation" -s..s
Yeah. we are awfully virtuousl We're not
that kind Of grill And anyhow, the grass is
wetl
The great idea behind this Joker Is that the
government can bar Soviet lumber for example,
and claim that it is produced by forced labor"
But if somebody wants to bar Cuban sugar the
Treasury department win Issue ponderous
opinion that will say something like. ''ever
though labor conditions are far from ideal still
the law permits us to decide that the o. s.
needs Cuban sugar"
Great idea! They can let anything - q
keep anything out. just = thsy plsssa, 4. .s.sA

Only Militant Struggle Can Stop
Phila. Cops Strike-Breaking

Now this gentleman is attempting to stop the
workers from fighting for their most elemen-
tary necessities of life by issuing orders to arrest
any worker who comes out on the picket line.
This vampire who lives on the blood of the
workers, and knows nothing about their niiser-
les, states that "this is no time to strike" In
the most defiant and brutal manner he arrests
hundreds of pickets daily On the other hand he
smells the approaching elections. He feels that
something must be done to prove his loyalty to
the public" He knows that someone must be
made the scapegoat Thus Mr.. Schofeld sud-
denly starts out on a campaign against a num-
Der of police captains, accusing them of bribery
and graft. Every day he discovers" about po-
lice captains who while on the police force are
also on the payrolls of the bootleggers and red
light districts. But Mr. Schofield is mistaken if
he thinks he can fool the workers by these "ex-
posures" The workers know that these captains
are not an isolated case. 1t is just link of the
entire capitalist chain. These captains are part
and parcel of the entire corrupted and degen-
Grated machine called the police department
They are result of the very system under which
we live today in America. These same captains
who are being prosecuted" for graft and cor
ruption are the ones undre whose command
hundreds of pickets are being slugged and jailed
These are the defenders Of law and order.
However, it is not the job Of grafters to clean
out corruption. Mr.. Schofield will not and can
not do it. To clean out the graft is only possible
through the cleaning out Of the very system
which creates it. This is the Job Of the work.
ers Against the attack of the bosses the workers
must unite their ranks. The workers must or
ganize militant industrial unions. The workers
must sweep aside the A. F. Of L. takers who
under the pressure of the workers pretend to
fight these politicians but in reality unite with
them to fight the workers. The workers must
build and become members of the political party
of the workers. the Communist Party. and under
the slogan, smash the strike-breaking policies OF
the bosses and their government carry on Bit
ter and stubborn struggle against the bosses and
all their agents within the ranks OF the workers.

NEGRO WORKERS WILL COME
INTO OUR PARTY

and this is closely linked up with the confusion
mentioned above. "If there is white chauvinism
in the Party then I must say that there Is black
chauvinism also'-thiS assertion has come from
many comrades. Certainly this is not true. What
do we mean by chauvinSm? Chauvinisn is the
aggressive attitude and oppression Of one nation
over another. Can we for one moment seriously
entertain the contention that the Negroes are
aggressvely exercising their national rights over
the whites? MOI What these comrades mean
in making the charge of "black chauvinism' is
that the Negroes in the Party are race conscious
as well as class conscious-and this we certainly
must commend, and not reject
We mus not forget that the Negroes have been
drawn into our Party, because of our slogan of
equal and political rights and certainly the least
that we must demand from the white comrades
is that the relationships among our comrades be
on an absolutely equal footing
However, this is not sufficient. And here
want to deal with the incident which occurred
in Harlem section headquarters. Some of the
comrades still cannot understand why it was al
right to push white workers out of the hall in
clearing it, and why it was wrong ito act the
same" towards the Negroes who we're there We
must understand precisely because we are white
workers who realize that the Negroes mistrust
the whites because of ages Of oppression and
ticularly to win the confidence of the Negro
workers and that an especial approach is neces-
sary towards them. Because we are white work.
ers, some tactics of approach which might be
permissible toward other white workers, cannot
be tolerated towards Negro workers. Why? Be-
cause if Negro worker goes through Harlem
and says that the Communists (who are mostly
whites tried to push him out of their hall, it
has much greater political significance than II
a white worker were to assert this
Our task is not only to overcome white
chauvinism in the Party but also in the unions
and mass organizations, if we are to build a
strong revolutionary movement.
With the sharpening of the class struggle the
bosses will make every effort to exaggerate the
antagonisrns between black and white, between
foreign born and white between foreign born
and black-and in the face of this we must carry
forward ever more intensively our fight for equal
social and political rights of the Negro masses.
Our major task in the recruiting drive must
be to draw in at least so per cent of new Negro
members in Harlem, and this we will be able
to do if we have clear conception of Negro
question, and the fight against and the elmina-
ton OF, white chauvinisn.

A Nice Quick War

"Be quiet and it will soon be over!" For the
workers to be made trustful that there will be
no war is necessary part of war preparation by
imperialists. For the workers to be deluded into
thinking that their war suffering will be quickly
ended, is necessary to inperialist plans when
war is once begun or when it appears to them
to be inevitable.
We prefer to believe, instead Of Newton D.
Baker, the words of Voroshilov, Red Army Com
mander, who, on Monday, the 18th anniversary
of the establishment Of the Red Army, reclared:

VERA SAUNDERS lNew Yorkl


IN carving on the discussion Of the Negro ques-
ton in the units, the confusion which exists on
this most important phase Of our work is starkly
apparent Unless the vanguard of the working
class the membership Of the Communist Party
understands clearly the tasks which confront us
in this work and the methods of carrying on this
work. we shall not succeed in bringing under our
influence the 100000 Negroes-rural and in
dustrial-and without whom the revolutionary
movement can make no progress in this country.
will deal here with only one or two points
Tnich were especially emphasized in the dis
cussions of some Of the units in Section 4.
very sharp tendency was manifested toward APP
preaching the Negro question as pure and
simple class question. Equality was the pass
word of their position-and, as one conrade put
it. In the Communist Party we have no race
discrimination, and therefore we cannot have
two methods of approach-one for the Negroes
and another for the whites" Is this correct?
Most decidedly not!
We must have two methods Of spproacl-and,
what's more, this does not mean discrimination.
Why? Because, first of all. the antagonism be-
tween the two races has been very carefully nur-
tured and fostered by the capitalist class. Ne
groes have been for ages oppressed by whites,
and they have been deceived by various groups
of whites who have used and abused them.
Therefore, the attitude OF the negro WorkerS
toward the whites generally is one of mistrust
and rightly so. They have not been oppressed
on7 as workers BIZ the capitalist class, as is the
cas2 with the white workers-but they have also
be u oppressed as Negroes, and Disseminated
ag7. st by goodly section of white workers as
we'll
One white comrade, very good fighter and
devoted to the Party could not understand why
the white workers must be i'll the forefront of
the fight for Negro rights. This also ensued
from his conception of equality" And here We
must ask how else are we going to gain the
confidence of the Negro masses unless the white
workers in the Party, in the revolutionary
unions, in the mass organizations show in deed,
and not merely by putting forth slogan, that
We fight in the front ranks for political and
social equality of the Negroes with the whites?
This is not only class question. We have on
the one hand the natural questionable fight
for equal rights OF the Negroes with the whites
and on the other hand we have the struggle of
the working class. in which Negroes are in
tvded, for the overthrow Of the capitalist sys-
Pm.
Another point is that of white chauvinisn-
