more from the crisis than the |
Negroes. There is a higher percent
age of Negro workers out of JOB
than any other section of the work
ing class. In Harlem, neearly 70
per cent can find no jobs. They
tramp from place to place and are
Disseminated against. They pay
outrageous, rents, whether they lave
work or not; they cramp together,
two, three or more families in flat
and there they starye.
When Negro workers try to get
work from Tammany grafsers, they
are the last to be helped. When they
apply for relief, they are denied it.
When young Negro workers ask for
help, all they get is policemen's
clubs. The result is starvation for
Ghe Negro workers.
What is true of Harlem is true OF
every other part of the city and
country. 21eaf'@
Why do the Negro workers pay
such high rents in every part of the
country Because they are COM
PEELED by segregation and jim crow
laws to live in certain parts of the
city. The landlords have them at
their mercy, and charge them double
or more the rent thSt white workers
have to pay. This is not the fault
of the white workers-but of the
landlords who are white or Negro
bosses. When Negro workers can
not pay their rent, they are thrown
into the. streets by Negro and white
landlords. The Negro landlords have
no sympathy for the Negro workers
they exploit them the same as the
white landlords do. When Negro
boss employs a Negro worker, he pays
him as small wages as he can, just
rs the white bosses do. The Negro
and white bosses are united against
the Negro workers to grind down
their conditions to the lowest level.
Who fights against this discrimi-
nation, segregation and jim crowism?
The republicans, democrats and So
cialists?' NEVER They stand for
this jim crowism. Their income
comes from this jimcrowism. They
profit by it. The COMMUNIST
PARTY alone fights against segre-
cation and jimcrowism-and for this
reason the bosses, both Negro and
white, hate and carry on cam
paign against. the COMMUNISTS.
The Negro workers, in the midst
OF hunger and Starvation, with worse
misery facing them in this the third
winter of hunger, are fighting back.
Together with the revolutionary
white workers, they are preventing
eNctions, they are fighting for un-
employment relief and insurance at
the expense of the bosses. Together
with the revolutionary white workers,
they are lighting against the lynch
terror that has been started against
the Negro workers, tenant farmers
and share troopers of the south.
The COMMUNISTS prevented the
electrocution of the nine Scostsboro
Negro boys The COMMUNISTS
have prevented the mass murder of
Negro workers in Chicago, when they
resisted eyictions. The COMMU-
NISTS prevented another blood bath

The COMMUNISTS are uniting
the Negro and white workers for the
fight. The COMMUNISTS are carry
ing on the fight to unite the white
and Negro workers in the revolu-

AS result of this growing unity OF
