Health Day in many coun-
tries?
May Day was established by
the American workers, and
later adopted internationally by
the revolutionary working class Or
CARNATIONS, as the day of struggle
against capitalism for the betterment
of the conditions of the workers and
as a mass expression of the struggle
for the final overthrow of capitalism.
May Day is deeply rooted in the
revolutionary traditions of the work
ers. 1t has a history of struggle, of
victory, of successful mobilization, of
international expression of solidarity.
This My Day the capitalists fear
the May Day demonstrations more
than ever before. This May Day the
capitalist world is in a severe crisis.
Over 100000 workers are unem-
ployed throughout the capitalist
world; 100000 of them are out of
work in the United States. There is
an international wage cut drive being
carried out, with the help Of the So
cialistS, and the reformist trade union
leaders.

forward, building up Socialism, while
the capitalist lands are shaken by cri-
sis. Revolutions are breaking out in
many of the colonial countries, in
China, India, Nicaragua, Honduras
the Spanish monarchy has been over
thrown and the revolutionary work
ing class is beginning to strive for the
leadership for the overthrow of cap
italism.
In the United States the workers
this May Day are faced with mass
hunger and starvation. Wage cuts
are Increasing.
Every effort is being made to keep
the American workers from demon
strating May Day. together with the
revolutionary workers in other coun-
tries. May Day is a mobilization of
all the forces of the working class for
unemployment insurance, against
wage cuts, and against imperialist
war! 1t is a mass mobilization for
the defense of the Soviet Union, for
the expression of the workers in the
revolutionary struggle against capital
ism.
Every worker who sees the necessity
of united struggle of all workers,
Negro, white, foreign-born, against
unemployment and wage cuts, against
imperialist war preparations, against
the threatened attacks on the Soviet
Union must rally his shop mates and
fellow workers for the largest out
pouring the capitalists have ever seen
in this country. The temper of the
revolutionary struggle on May Day
is watched by the capitalist class as
a gauge of the militancy of the work
ers.
All out on May Day! Down tools
Join the one day strike! Demon.

D0AK ADMITS BIG
BANKERS ARE FOR
R. R. WAGE CUTS
But Hides His Role In
Pay Slashing

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Secre-
tary of Labor William N. Doak is adj
vancing the wage-cutting drive on the
railroads by lying about it. The plans
for pay cuts on all railroads has be-
come so open that Doak was forced
to say something about the matter.
He admitted that the leading bank
ers who run the railroads are for
wage cuts, but Doak asSWed the
workers there was nothing to it,"
Appointed To Fool Workers.
This is precisely the reason he was
appointed to the position of Secretary
of Labor His job is to keep the
workers from realizing the danger
while the wage cut drive is perfected
and put into effect.
eff there was such a thing as a
properly fixed wage rate for the var
ious industries and trades" Doak said
then there might be some reasons in
the suggested reductions In other
words, since wages are being cut every
day and this process is effectively
clashing the living standard of the
worker, then everything is alright.
If wages were static, Dok explains,
then a national wage slash woul1 be
reasonable.
Doak To Execute Plan.
Doak could not deny the fact that
the banker owners of the railroads
have detailed plan and Doak is
pledged to carry it through. In Or
der to save the face of the Hoover
administration which has repeatedly
declared it is for maintaining wage
levels" Doak issues statement de-
Tending Hoover and himself. 1.-THE
administration has done everything
that can be done to prevent the adop-
ton of such (wage cutting) plans,
Doak declared. This means that such
plans have been definitely prepared
with the help of Hoover and Doak
and now the capitalist government
is trying to appear as free from blame
in the eyes of the workers.
Doak who was general chairman OF
the Brotherhood Of Railroad Train
men was specifically chosen as Sec
rotary of Labor at the order of the
railroad bankers with view to put
ting into effect the wage cut drive
against the railroad workers.

Digesting the News

The news of the past week must
have certainly made serious thinking
throughout the land.
Some good, some bad, and all in
teresting.
The National Benefit Life waters
become more muddied. Somebody
may have to tell Judge something.
A mystery killing unfolded at Tus-
kegee which may rip the lid off the
biggest scandal of the year. All of
this provides enough for domestic
consumption.
On the other hand there comes
news of the reopening of the Met
ropolitan Bank and Trust Company
of Norfolk. There are still enough
people working and drawing salaries
to run banks and open up new BUSH
mes enterprises if we will lust keep
steady our heads, hearts and souls.
Ibis is certainly no time either to
become panicky or fail to fully real
ize that this old world of ours needs
serious attention. Six million people
out of work; thirty.five million
working harder.
Germany on the verge of finacial
collapse with France standing by,
Shylock like. demanding the pound
of flesh. Whatever ripple is started
by what happens in Germany will
reach John Smith in every city, ham
let, big street, and small alley. No
country, no race. no man, no woman
liVeth unto itself, himself or herself
IN this economically closely knitted
world.
Big news, too, concerning Africa.
Not big news as news goes, but white
men and women meet in Geneva in
an international conference on Afri-
can children. What interest brings
titled white women from England
and other parts of the world to pom
der how they can help the black
mothers whom they will never see or
know? Instinct perhaps. Or per-
haps it Is the unalterable forces of
nature which keeps womankind of all
races fighting for a better world.
1hey can no more help it than can
the caterpillar help spinning its own
shroud about itself that the beautiful
butterfly may emerge in the spring.
Over at Geneva they discus infant
mortality among African mothers;
they discuss adolescence and the pro-
lection of brown skinned children at
work. Perhaps nature is telling
European white women that five
hundred or a thousand years from
now those native children will play
big part in the lives of the children
of the children they are bringing in

We Call Them Heather

A few weeks ago the President of
the worlds greatest government re-
seived a contribution of one thous-
and francs to aid the starving in
America. 1t came from group of
Africans who had been touched by
the story of how Americans were in
bread-lines, how many of them silent
on park benches throughout the
winter nights and how their Young
suffered from lack of proper cloth
ing.

feed the starving" They did not
say that black Americans alone were
to receive what must have been a
tremendous sacrifice for them !:
rather, the spirit of whoever needs

the action.
In America we talk of Jesus Christ
and his doctrine of Christianity; we.
the civilized, the cultured and the
Tree, sit stiffly bowed in our expen-
slve edifiees on Sundays and pray
that this our Christianity will some
day penetrate Africa and make it
free indeed. We call them heathens.
Heather they may be; but theirs

ton of practical Christianity. Men
who wear loin-cloths and hang en-
blems in their ears know that there
should be no discrimination in the
relief of suffering. This light of fair
plaV and golden rule action has vet
to dawn on Mississippi, landmark
of American culture.
We call them heather, these
Christians of the bush, because they
do not accept creeds yet to be
practiced, but these heathens know
that hunger is a curse and destitu-
ton impairs a people whether they
be black or white. Their religion
shoves them to The aid of the suffer-

Dep riest Ducks Hokum

BY one way or another, Congress
man Oscar DePriest always lets his
friends and his opponents know
where he stands. Nobody has to
guess about it.
He told Durham, North Carolina,
that he would not sit on the same
platform with DIR. James E. Shepard.
In the ACCOMMODATIONS senatorial
fight in Georgia, Mr.. DePrest said
he was for himself first.
Last week, Chicago looked for fire
works with Mr.. DePriest and Mr..
Benjamin Davis, ex-Georgia national
committeeman, on the same plat
form. Instead, Mr.. DePriest grac-
iously introduced the visitor from
Georgia, then left the hall without
hearing what he had to say.
MIR. DePriest and Mr.. Davis are
both Republicans, but so different in
everything that Mr.. Davis's address
could only give Mr.. DePriest pain
in the neck.
There is, for example, the otter
pressed enmity of Davis to colored
Democrats.
Mr.. DePriest, in his Southern
speeches, advised his audience to
vote any ticket, but vote.
Then ON the question of Mr..
Hoover. Says Mr.. Davis: well re-
elect Hoover although now we are
sorry we elected him in 1921 and
mo matter what mistakes Mr.
Hoover makes, he's our baby"
Political hokum of that variety is
Mr.. Davis's stock in trade. 1t is of
the early post-bellum variety, and
bears a handkerchief trademark.
Like the far-seeing statesman that
he is, Mr.. DePriest foresaw this bar
rage of hokum coming and lodged it.
probably, to show his disapproyal.
