A Successful Negro
Enterprise

An outstanding example of what
can be achieved by Negroes in BUSH
ness is the Robinson Drug Store.
corner 18th Avenue and Jackson
Street. The store is operated by a
partnership consisting of Mr. and
Mrs. E. l. Robinson and J. w. Ro-
binson, brother of Mr. Robinson. 1t
is equipped with every modern de-
vice necessary and furnished in ex-
ceedingly good taste. A large ma
hogany and marble Bishop and Bah
cock fountain with seating capacity
for eight persons is operated
throughout the year. Besides the
active management and attention of
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson the store
employs Mrs. Lucy M. Jones and
Mrs. Ruth Burns, clerks. Mr.. Ro-
binson says Our success is due to
the splendid cooperation and pa
tronage of the people of this vicin-
ity. They have been loyal to the
utmost degree. They have shown
us that colored people will support a
race enterprise IL service, value,
quality and courtesy is given in re-
turn. We have nothing but praise
for the people of the South-end."
Plans are under consideration for an
enlargement of the Robinson Drug
Store in 1891. There is no stem
attle's only Negro drug store. No
better service is to be found in Sc
attic than at Robinson's Drug Store.

HARLEM j. c. TO
STOP EVICTION
This Morning at 1894
Seventh Avenue

NEW YORK. -The Harlem Coun-
Gil of Unemployed will stage a mill
tant demonstration this morning at
1894 It'll Ave, to prevent the eviction
of Mrs. Florence Ramsey, a 46-year-
old Negro worker, who is a widow
and unemployed.
In a futile effort to deprive this
Negro woman worker of the support
of the Unemployed Council. the land
lord, Joe Borish, visited headquarters
of the Council Saturday to tell them
that the womanS dead husband was
white man. He made it quite clear
that in his estimation any Negro who
violated the bosses edict against
inter- marriage of Negro and white
workers had committed IAN awful
crime"
In the case of Mildred Reed whose
furniture was returned to the apart
.nent last week after she and her
,ged mother were evicted, and the
tenants in the house organized against
eviction, the landlord has raised all
rents from $50 to $40 in an effort to
get out the militants. The tenants
will refuse to pay the raise and will
meet any funny business with a rent
strike.

REVIVAL OF 'FURRIER'
BRIBERY OF POLICE
YARN is CAMOUFLAGE
Scheme of Vol, Schlesinger, Kaufman & Co..
to Turn Attention Away From Real Graft
Caused Also By Fear of Misleaders That the
Needle Trades Workers Line Up With NTWIU

The Kresel-Seabury Committee
which is supposed to investigate COR
rupt judges and the graft in the city
administration, is now attempting to
shift the blame for the graft infested
police department on the militant
labor organizations This plan, no
doubt is instigated by the corrupt
clique of grafters and strikebreakerS
SchlesSinger, kaufman, etc, led by
Mathew Vol If the A. F. of L., and
is calculated to cover up the gang
ster and police brutality against the
members of the Needle Trades Work
ers Industrial Union, who are pre-
pairing to strike for week work. for
the 7-hour 5-day week and unenlploy-
ment insurance in the dress trade in
the coming Spring season.
Mathew Vol is again appearing as
a defender of clean" police depart
ment to split the heads Of the work
erS, as he did in the strikes of the
furriers, cloaknakers and dressmakers
in I926-27 and %.
In the 1926 strike of the fur work
ers, under the leadership of the left
wing, the workers cleaned their union
of crooks, defeated the conspiracy Of
Mathew Vol, the underworld and the
bosses, and established the 40-hour
week, minimum wage scales and won
wage increases for the entire trade.
As It Was Before
Mathew Vol arc his gang in the
needle trades Jold out these condi-
tons to the bosses and now they
stand exposed and unmasked before
the needle trades workers. The needle
trades workers are rallying to the
banner of the Needle Trades Work
ers Industrial Union and are prepar-
ing for decisive struggles in every
branch of the needle industry, par
ticularly in the coming dress strikes
in New York and Philadelphia this
Spring season.
The unorganized too, are rallying
to the call of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union as exem-
plifieG by the strike of 500 shirtmak
ers in New Haven and close to 1000
fur matters in Danbury, Conn.
Mathew Vol and the entire A. F.
Of l., are trying to save themselves
in the needle trades by framing
charges and Using provocative
methods as they did before.
The time has already past when
the workers can be fooled or misled
by such schemes and tricks The
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union, will go on, and intensity the
preparations for the dress strike for
the introduction of week work, the
7-hour 5-day week, and Unemploy-
ment Insurance in the dress trade.

LEAGUE TO HOLD
PROTEST JAN. 9
Meet to Fight Ban of
Young Worker"

NEW YORK. - The Young Com
munist District, Two, is holding a
huge mass meeting at the Stuyvesant
Casino on Friday, January 9th. at s
p. m. protesting against the ban of
the Young Worker" from the mail.
The Young Worker, organ of the
Young Communist League has been
denied second class mailing rights
This is the third Communist paper
to be barred by the Post Office De-
partment. The other two were the
Vida Obrera," Communist Spanish
paper, and the Young Pioneer"
organ of the Young Pioneers. The
attack against the Young Worker
is seen as part of the general at
tack against the revolutionary work
ing-class. The bosses do not want
the mouthpiece of the young workers
to be heard in the factories, fields,
mines, and schools. They plan to
use this as a means of stopping its
existence.
All young workers are urged to
attend this meeting and protest
against the barring Of the voice of
the revolutionary youth from the
mail. The chief speakers will be Max
Bedacht representing the Central
Committee of the Communist Party,
and 81 Green, editor of the Young
Worker" There will also be other
speakers.

KREI(SF'T. REI1HI!'I.AI'SHEIS
u. S. BANK LIES
Small Depositors Must
Organize for. Funds

NEW YORK.-In order to keep
back mass action of the 100000 small
depositors of the wrecked Bank of
the United States, Isidore j. Kresel
one of the directors and chief lawyer
for the bank as well as being con-
nected with the Tammany grafters,
peddled the old lie that Broderick
dropped long ago about the POSSIBLE
ity of the return of 100 cents on the
dollar to all depositors.
Proof has been published in the
Daily Worker. and later in other
capitalist papers, about the inside
robbery of the Bank of the U. S.
amounting to over $5O,000,OO0.
Though Kresel was questioned for
three and half hours by District
Attorney Grain, neither of these Tam
many henchmen would tell the de-
positors one word of what TRANSFERRED
The fact is the evidence brought out
shows the bank was engaged in such
a dirty swindling business that Grain
does not dare to tell the depositors
the truth.
A whole series of fake investiga-
tons are being undertaken with the
main purpose of embarrassing the
part in the robbery of the bank of
the Tammany henchmen.
The propaganda of Kresel about the
possibility of the bank paying all de-
poSitors 100 per cent is a deliberate
lie. This lie was first handed out by
the superintendent of banks, Brod-
erick, and then emphatically denied
by him. The fact that other banks
are not loaning all depoSitors who
make application the SO per cent
promised shows they will not take a
chance, even at per cent, on the
depositors getting back half of what
they put in.
Only by mass organization will the
small depositors be able to force the
repayment of their hard earned saw
ings before the big fellows get their
hands on the money.

insulting statement to the press, say
ing that he had 5000 beds, that only

Yesterday there was slight i'm

made to sweeten the tempers of the
jobless by putting a woman at the

Angered at this cheap insult, many

candy.
