exploitation of the workers, black and
white.
Dr. Jones brazenly said: Races
must not think raciaily and separate
ly, but humanely; not as a race, but
as people" This outburst of hypo-
crisy in the face of the growing ter
ror of the ruling class that ruthlessly
jails, mobs, and kills revolutionary
workers who. under the leadership of
the Communist Party and the revolu-
tionary trade unions, are struggling
to unite the black and white workers
of America; this is the jim crow
school where Negroes and whites are
not permitted to sit together in the
auditorium this in a state many of
the parks and libraries of which bear
the sign, mo dogs and niggers al
lowed!' Surely there is no more
brazen, no more despicable hypocriti-
cal ruling class than the slave land
lords of the south and their tools
who are praying for the perpetuation
of their system Of unemployment and
starvation.
The day will come, and soon when
the militant young students of the
white schools in the south, will join
the ranks of the revolutionary work
ers and advance to the barbados to
overthrow this pernicious system Of
slavery and of mob violence.
Then will Tuskegee have an ami
vcrsary, the first anniversary of free
dom, celebrated under the free gov
eminent of the black and white
workers Of America, an anniversary
that will mean not the perpetuation
of slavery as this anniversary does,
but the birth of freedom. Certainly
the celebration of the fiftieth ami
versary of jim crowism under the slo-
gan of democracy raises the ques-
tion--"Whose democracy is this?' The
legal lynching in Scottsboro gives the
answer.

NEW YORK.-During the present

from shops, factories, offices, unions
and other mass organizations.
During the drive we we're able to

in the past the whole section had
only Negro comrades in the Party,
on this field we also can record some
results.
But by and large, taking the re-
cruiting campaign as a whole on a
section scale we must say that the
results achieved up till now is every
thing but satisfactory.
In order to stimulate the campaign,
the Section Committee decided that

(By a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK.--An article was writ
ten some time ago in refernce to the
Prosser work on Split Rock Road
in Pelham, pertaining to Leonard F.
Boland, who was slave driver over
men and considered himself the czar,
and whose dislike for Communist was
unexcelled or anyone else, with the
exception of himself.
The "czar" was on three different
payrells of the Prosser Committee
and also was carried on the city pay
roll for three days at $3.50 giving
him a total OF about SIS per week.
Why didn't the Mayors Relief Com
mittee give some poor needy man
that three days work and the $3.50
inorder to put bread and butter on
his table?
How Roland would laugh and gloat
over it as he used the whip hand
over the eight hundred or more men
working for the Prosser Committee
during the week at Split Rock Road
and how he would laugh and gloat
over it, as he was having his whiskey
in his coffee in the shack (tiae office
on Split Rock Road where the men
checked in and OUT and hugging the
stove, while the men went out to
work in the zero weather!
One cold morning he had a dis
pute with worker and called two
policemen to drive him off to worke
and the "cZar" gloated over his
whiskey and coffee in the shack after
it. Was the GEAR" afraid to do it
without the aid of two blue coats
Yes, he was. Another incident was
that of a colored worker on Split
Rock Road. The "cZar" though the
Negro was Communist, but had no
proof, and got a policeman to frisk
him, but finding nothing he told the
man he was fired" and for no good
reason at all, for the man was a
good worker.
Took Too Much
That crowd Of the 'czar" was
bound to crunple sooner or later for
Boland was drunk three-auarters OF
the day. and reports were fast cir
culating to that effect. At last he
was discharged flat, for three reasons
He had been accepting graft through
different sources. He also had put
$3.50 men of the city payroll to work
the balancing three days. He had
these checks distributed to his
friends. They we're only working 8
days but with these checks they
would be getting paid for the full
six, getting $3.50 from the city and
SIS from the Prosser payroils. Mer
! on the Prosser payroll would FIND
other positions and Boland, in the
meantime, could collect these checks
and turn them over to his friends,
and Boland alone was the only one
to know of the checks.
