NEGROES WORSE
VICTIMS OF T.B.
Great Mortality Due to
Unemployment

NEW YORK-Au survey issued by
the New York tuberculosis and
Health Association reveals an I'M
precedented increase in mortality
among the population, especially the
Negro population of New York This
increase" says the report, lis due to
three causes: ID Unemployment; ~
Poor housing; 90 Existence of a
large Negro population"
The third reason is an obvious at
tempt to stir up prejudice against
the Negroes who are the worst vic
TINS of the capitalist system.
The report instead of mentioning
speed-up, low wages, unsanitary con-
ditions as contributing factors to the
increase of death from tuberculosis,
tries to shift the blame on Negro
workers. But even the report in
directly admits that the Negro is
the victim, not the cause, of the in
creased death rate
1.-THE tuberculosis situation among
the colored has grown more serious
in the past year, not only in New
York, but throughout the country as
a whole. This group. suffered 20 per
cent of the New York tuberculosis
mortality. In 1890, the mortality Of
this group rose to LOTT. Unemploy-
ment and distress have made them
selves felt more quickly among these
people, and their suffering from tu-
berculosis has apparently been more
acute.s
The League of Struggle for Negro
Rights issued a statement last night
which read in part:
'The report of the New York Tu-
berculosis and Health Association is
a fragrant attempt to cover up the
evils of the Jim Grow system and to
accuse Negroes of conditions to which
they succomb as its greatest victims.
The report shows in spite of itself,
however, that the more intensive ex-
ploitation of workers, and especially
Of Negro workers, is the real cause
Of increased death rates.
Negro workers must unite with
white workers in demanding unem-
pigment insurance and in forcing
the city government to tear down dis
eased and germ breeding novels"

AUTO CARTEL PLANS
FIND SCANT SUPPORT
Citroen Returnin gto Europe After
Failure to Reach Agreement
With U. S. Interests.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, October 31.-Andre CitL
roen, French automobile manufacturer,
is on his way back to Europe, full Of
he spent among American plants, but
with little support for his plan of an
international cartel to develop sales in
distant lands.
NJ. Citroen's plan, voiced before the
conference of major industries. called
for a pool of automobile manufacturers
to develop highways and service in lot
countries where no factories now exist.
He suggested, further, that used au-
tomobiles be given to these countries
In exchange for the lowering OF tariff
barriers Tnese, ne implied, would
stimulate demand for new cars at a
later time.
M. Citroen spent several hours with
Charles e. Sorenson. general manager
OF the Ford Motor Co., while he was
in Detroit, and It is q foreqone COM
clusion that he discussed his plan.
From this source he apparently found
little II any support. And, as he ex-
pressed It later, no great cartel of this
kind could expect to succeed without
the cooperation OF the worlds largest
manufacturers of motor vehicles
However, even had Henry Ford or
his officials signified some approval. il
Is doubtful whether the idea would have
advanced very far on the program of
other manufactures
In the first place, the automobile in
dustry In America has been highly COM
petittve. It has thrived on coTnnetition
While there has been an agreement on
the pooling Of patentS,> that has mot
prevented the members Of the INDUSTRY
from profiting by their Individual en-
cheering accomplishments Further
cooperation, particularly in anv stems
In sales expansion, has been frowned
upon.
AS further obstacle to M. Citroen,s
plan stand the well organized export
departments of most manufacturers
These have been promoted by the manu-
LECTURERS under heavy expense In fact
there Is scarcely q country with which
these departments do not have Some
contact, Any pooling arranqement
would deprive these manufacturer of
