per cent of it's quota to date. But
Philadelphia is emerging out of its
etupor very fast and is doing sur
prisingly well, both in circulation
and donations, for change. Many
OF the smaller districts refuse to be
aToused. District II, North Dakota,
gave up the battle early in the cam
paign and is still slambering along
with 10 per cent of its quota full
filled. District 16, North Carolina,
also has followed the campaign with
one eye. having raised S34 on a quota
Of 500. District 9 has shown few
surprises since the start of the Drive;
to date Minneapolis has achieved
only IS per cent of its $500 quota.
District 10, on the other hand, has
accomplished mueA less, with 20 per
cent.
We wish to emphasize in these col
umns that the Drive for funds will
not be terminated until every Dis

Florida, I was told to stay off the
train because something might hap
pen to me. So I stayed off and
caught the next train at midnight.
On arriving in Graces, Alabama, the
train was met by four special dicks,
and several Negroes we're caught on
that train and received a heavy
beating from the four dicks But no
white man was molested except that
they told us to stay off the grounds
This is the way, comrades, that
the bosses treat the Negro workers.
The bosses show the white workers
a little consideration in order TO
make them believe that they are
better than the Negroes and so keep
both divided.
The railroad owners don't want
Negro and white to unite because
then the bosses sure would be
licked. But what they do is to put
hate between white and Negroes. The
white workers must unite with their
colored brothers and fight with
them. Only then will we be able ia
fight our real enemy, the boss, and
once and for all do away with race
hatred.
