enormous footprints of the pre-his-

An idea Of the hardships suffered

To Use Negro Cops
Against Richmond
Negro Workers

RICHMOND, Dec. 22.--Taking their
cue from other cities where Negro
policemen have been used with
marked success against the struggles
of the Negro workers, the local bosses
have started a move for the employ
ment Of Negro police in this city.
Judge J. Hoge Kicks is sponsoring
the plan.
Just as the reforrnist Negro tools Of
imperialism are used TO betray the
mass fight to free the Scottsboro boys
and stem the anger OF Negro masses
against the brutal lynch terror Of the
bosses, so Negro cops are being in
creasingly used to carry out the at
lacks of the bosses against the ris-
ing nnilitancy OF the Negro workers.
In New York last summer Negro po-
licemen were used to break up the
demonstrations of white and Negro
workers against the Scottsboro lynch
verdict. White cops were held in the
background while their fellow Negro
tools did the dirty work.

message in which he babe farewell

in the revolutionary ranks-looking
forward with great anticipation TO

Despite the fact that Keninotsu
was a prisoner for 9 months, Imn1i-

of money for his prison food, and the
Internal Revenue collectors forced
the payment of income tax, although
Kenmotsu earned very little, as most
Japanese workers do.

Several Elements in

One element that lowered in the

that they alone can get the Building

Several of these elements are
known for their past petty grating
activities and rank and file mem
bers see in this move to second the
role Of the kicked-out grating Of
ficials. The fact that they claim
that they alone can get recognition
from the district council gives weight
to the indication that the big bureau
Gratis of the building trades fear a
true rank and file administration

Another element, anxious to fill
the official capacities of the union
are those who demagogically enough
mouth militant phrases, but whose
actions in the past lead the over
whelming majority Of the rank and

likely to serve the best interests OF
the workers. ---~r

crease, the restitution Of the workers
will spread.
Most Of the chcarity organizations
themselves are in a crisis. Many are
cutting down sharply on the amount
of relief they formerly handed out
per family because the demands on
them are so great, and because the
capitalists are consciously following
the policy Of getting the workers used
to lower and lower living standards.
In Duluth, MINI. the Bethel a
religious charity outfit closed its
breadline. The workers, desperate
with hunger, stormed grocery store
and took food, rather than starve.
This situation is common through
out the Countrywide bosses are cut
ing down on the amount given out at
the breadlines and in the charities.
This shows more than ever the
necessity for increased struggle for
relief. To meet this situation, the
National Committee OF the Unem-
ployed Councils, stressing the need
for mobilizing for February 4th, Ma

necessity for immediate organiza-

Anticipating another upsurge Of the

face of the Japanese move to seize
Chinchow and advance beyond the
Great Wall, the entire Marking Cab
met resigned yesterday, leaving Gen.
Chen Ming-slhu, acting head of the
executive Yuan, to hold the bag. The
central executive committee of the
Kuomintang is reported in session in
Marking for the purpose of "reor-
ganizing the government. The
Cantonese group is reported to be
splitting up into opposing factions.
The local Canton situation is re-
ported most difficult because of the
military split and the resignation of
Chang Fah-kwai, from command OF
the ironsides' because Gen Chen
Chi-tang, Cantonese Supreme Con-
troller, desiring to disarm Chang
Fah-kwai, ordered him to remain in
KWangsi instead Of leading his troops
northward." A sharp struggle be-

is undoubtedly going on, rejecting
the sheer antagonisms between their
different imperialist masters.
