m SUNDAY, the girls from the mining patch
and thereabouts do not have to get up SO
early, to give out relief after the picket line.
Sunday morning they can sleep.
But the girls do not sleep on Sunday morn
ing These are not times to think of comfort,
aud ones own little house. The girls take mope
and hroonns, hot water and strong srnelling soap,
to the two-roomed, white-washed relief head
quarters Of their union. They scrub from the
floor to the ceiling. When they are finished,
everything is spotlessly clean. White-washed
walls are without spot Everything is in its
place. The floor shines. They cover the little
table with gay piece of oilcloth and place ex-
actly in the middle, the oil lamp. This is their
self-imposed work today for their union, the N.
M u, that is leading them through this difficult
life and death struggle. The girls admire their
work.
Throughout the week. there are many difficult
les in this relief headquarter. For the first
weeks, there was plenty milk for the families
with babies. And although some days passed
when there was no bread, the fact that the chill
dren were not crying for food, was something
to be glad for and the picket line was not i'm
paired But now, relief was not coming in the
same quantities as before, and women with
drawn faces, and men, with dark lines in their
faces stood before the relief headquarters and
doggedly insisted that they must have food, that
they did not want to scab. But sometimes there
was no food-and the strike was in danger.
The miners and their wives thought and said,
what we're the workers in Philadelphia, in New
York, in Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Minneapolis,
doing that they could let the miners go hungry
and imperil the strike The socialists and the U.
M. w. offered food. But mo poison, but work
ing-class relief was the miners slogan. And
what answer could the workers who had done
little or nothing give?
In Santiago miner and bis family of five
small children had lived three days on one loaf
of bread. A miner from neighboring town, who
would not scab, came to beg some food from
sympathetic grocer, and could not return to his
shack alone He was weak from hunger and had
to be carried. What answer could the workers
give?
The daughter Of scab said my daddy is
working He didn't want to go back. But we
kids only got greens from the relief, and my
dady said to my mother T can't see them kids
starve in front of my eyes," The girl talked
with tears in her eyes. She wanted to be men,
Der of the Miners Childrens Clubs, but the kids
would not take her in. MY daddy won't join
the United Mine Workers though, although his
BOSS says he has to. My daddy is for the Ma
tional" Repeat this case by the thousands, and

Our Immediate Tasks Among
the Workers on the South
Side of Chicago
BY d. R. POINDEXIER.
(Section 2, Chicago.)


nm the south side, we have a working class
v neighborhood where we should have the
best class solidarity. Instead we find that the
bosses have been able to keep up their segrega-
ton and Jim-Crow policies. A wave Of hate
still exists In the minds of the whites who live
in the section between 31st and 10th Sts., the
hot-bed of the Disappeared race riots of 1919.
1t is here the bosses have repeated again and
again that the Negro was responsible for this
onslaught in which many working class lives
we're needlessly lost This lie which has gone
on uncorrected has caused much abuse to the
Negro, who has fallen victim of many murder
Gus attacks by the hands of encouraged hood
lums, who make 1t their duty to interfere with
any colored worker who might by some chance
pass through this territory. There are two cases
on record where defenseless Negroes we're actu-
ally murdered and score or more where they
we're viciously slugged I, myself, am one OF
their victims.
Last evening, as was returning from a meet
ing at about II pm I was accosted by gang
Of these gentlemen" and was asked Niger
where are you goihg?" and ''What are you do
ing in this territory" I told them that since
they we're not officers, I thought 1t was not
their affair. They then began smuggling me

street and who came armed with the chairs on

War on the Chinese Front!

Thus, there Is only one major front IN China
and that front Is not an isolated front but q
sector Of the worldwide front In the struggle
between the oppressor and the oppressed be-
tween the forces of black reaction and decay
and the forces Of Red revolution and progress.
Wall Street imperialism, owing to It's don1i-
nant position as one of the foremost capitalist
powers plays a particularly sinister role in this
worldwide struggle. While Mellon and Slim
son are pulling diplomatic strings in Paris and
London, doing their best to Organize" European
capitalism against the rising tide of the German
Revolution and feverishly preparing for des-
perate armed attack against the Soviet Union,
American airplanes, machine guns and ann
munition, handed to Chang Kai-Shek with the
open approval of the State Department at
Washington, D. G., are nassacring Chinese
workers and peasants on the Kiangsi front!
Deportation campaigns are launched in the
United States to send revolutionary Chinese
students and workers eli and HsD to their
death at the hands of Chang Kai-Shek Under
the very eyes Of American advisers" Sen
ators and Congressman in China, countless
numbers Of revolutionary Chinese workers and
peasants including the leader Of the Chinese
Communist Party, Comrade Hsian Chung-Fa,
are tortured and butchered with the utmost
cruelty.
Inc anu-COn1nunSU War IN Cnlna Is pdIb
and parcel Of the world campaign against COM
munism fought with the weapons of les armed
attack and white terror China, being one Of
the weakest links in the imperialst chain, ma
turally witnesses the struggle in its highly de-
veloped stage and in its most acute form, But
the fight Is worldwide The Kiangsi front Is
not a front In Chinese war but Chinese
front in the approaching world war!
The Chinese red forces, steeled in battle and
experienced In prolonged warfare, fight bravely
and intelligently. The recent reported orderly
retreat of the Kiangsi Red Armies into Fukian
does not signify defeat, despite the boastfu1 re-
ports Of Chang Kai-Shek. The Chinese front
of the world struggle is taking the form of
somewhat prolonged civil war. The world prole-
tariat can substantially contribute to bring
about a speedy victory! Let the demonstration
on August First be mighty protest against i'm
perialist war and a worldwide revolutionary
mobilization for intensified struggle on all
fronts

Colonial Peoples

port the colonial workers and peasants In their
struggle against the bloody terror in Mexico
South and Central America. AS long as the
colonies remain, the fascist terror will continue
The American workers cannot get free from
the yoke of capitalism but through the united
struggle with the colonial masses.
The District of New York has the especial
duty of helping the Cuban workers and peasants
IN their struggle against the muderous fascist
Machado government, the agent Of American
imperialism. This support must be given not
only In demonstrations and resolutions, but in
material support to the masses through their
revolutionary organizations
On Friday, July "a, at 8 pm, at Irving Plaza
18th st. and Irving Place, the Anti-Im perialist
League of New York is calling a conference to
link up the organizations of the workers of the
Latin-American countries in New York with
the organizations of the American workers, In
JOINT STRUGGLE against American imperial
ism and their tools in government in Latin
America. This struggle is not only against the
capitalists and their capitalist agents, but like
wise against the leadership of the A. F. of L.
and the socialist" party, who support the saw
age attacks of American imperialism, and of the
fascist governments on the revolutionary work
ers and peasants Of Latin-America.
Elect delegates to this conference and make
it not only an expression of revolutionary oppo-

revolutionary activity against the enemies of
the workers and peasants, not only Of Latin
America, but likewise of the United States.

the fight Although this attack was made right
in the light. where there were many workers
resting, no one raised protest exceut the woman
and her little daughter. My benefactors told me
they had witnessed three similar attacks on
Negro workers in less than month
These attacks serve to further disunite the
white and Negro workers in this neighborhood
These attacks, therefore, serve to slow up the
revolutionary movement in the south side. 1t
is up to U.S. then, to begin drive against this
damnable white chauvnism.
Firstly strong educational campaign must
be carried on by the class-conscious white work
ers in this vicinity, closely allied with the class

TdPERIAL1ST war preparations are going on
at feverish speed in every capitalist country
on the globe. But war clouds have already burst
into an ugly storm In China There Is already
war on the Chinese 'front.'
War has been such a frequent occurrence IN
China lately that superficial observers are likely
to underestimate its importance, disregard its
connection with world issues and dismiss It
merely as another local disturbance" But, as
a matter of fact, no war in China can be cor
rectly regarded as merely local affair and
the present war, more than any former Chinese
wars, has deep international meaning and,
indeed. can be considered as an integral part
of recent developments in world politics.
There are in the military sense, five armed
forces in China, the Manchurian army, Chang
Kai-Shek's army, the buffer armies" Of Shih
Yu Shen, etc, the Canton group and the Red
Armies. But politically, there are essentially
only three groupings, the two counter-revolu-
tionary cliques, one serving Yankee imperialism
and the other the Anglo-Japanese alliance
and the revolutionary Soviet forces Of the work
ers and peasants. The four counter-revolution-
airy armed forces, and the two reactionary poll
teal groupings are constantly entangted in in
evitable contradictions and are busily naneuver-
ing and counter nlaneuvering and even engaged
in armed struggles against each otter, but they
have a common hatred for the revolutionary
workers and peasants. Because, socially, there
are only two camps, the camp Of the imperial
lists, landlords and capitalists and the camp OF
the workers and peasants. This basic social
alignment is far from being obscure to the
reactionary groups. 1t underlies all their man
euvers It is not for no reason that the cannons
boom loudest on the Kiangsi front where the
two basic social forces are In direct armed con-
tact
That the fight between the two basic social
alignments is the main issue In China, while
all other issues occupy merely q subordinate
place, is admitted even by T. " Soong, Minister
of Finance of the Marking Government and
Chang Kai-Shek's right-hand man Soong, in
an official report clearly states that "the pres
ent campaign Of armies of the National Gov
eminent against Kiangsi Communists is only a
prelude to a Ite-and-death struggle between
the Chinese social and economic system and the
Communist system" IN. 2. Times, July 16)

Of the world has kept our people at peace with
all the earth; a service that has kept homes

world staggers beneath its weight of mourning

Decoration Day services to place flowers upon

be told in the victory of matchless diplomacy,
