Ross testified further: "About eight
years ago we had considerable trouble
with the Communists in the Timber

BIG BOSSES AID
NEGRO LACkEYS
Recognize Role of the
"Relief" Takers

NEW YORK-That the big bosses
who discriminate against Negro work
ers, denying them employment except
in the most mental capacities, are
supporting the racketeering relief
committee recently formed by Har-
lem Negro refornists is clearly indi-
Gated by the donation of $500 by the
New York Telephone Company to the
Harlem Cooperating Committee on
Relief and Unemployment.
The New York Telephone Com
oany which refuses to employ Negro
iris as telephone operators on the
rounds that they might contanlinate
he white girls, but really because of
he definite policy of the bosses of
stamping the Negro masses with the
stigma of inferiority and isolating
them for a super-exploitation, has
quickly recognized the true role of
this racketeer committee Of parasitic
preachers and rent-gouging land
lords and real estate agents. In or
ganizing this committee, the Negro
refor11ists have a double purpose in
view: ID to rehabilitate their shat
tered influence among the Negro
masses by this fake gesture of re
lief" and CO to divert the Negro
masses from the revolutionary strug-
gle for real relief and unemployment
insurance and against the bosses
hunger system. This double purpose
is heartily endorsed by the white
bourgeoisie who are only too willing
to help the Negro refornists in their
treacherous work.
Among the leading traitors on the
committee are Roy Lancaster, who
sold out the Pullman Porters and,
with other officials of the union, mis-
appropriated the $1,000 Wilkins
Lynching Fund; H. G. Parker, of the
real estate firm of Nail and Parker,
hated by Negro tenants throughout
Harlem and strong supporter of
the defunct Chelsea Bank in which
thousands of workers lost their saw
ings: Bessie Beardon, Tammany Hall
bell-wether; James E. Stephens,
Tammany assemblyman who is pro-
noting q fake bill for jobs but is
opposed to the state and employers

It is expected they will be
charged with calling on the
5000 longshoremen now on
strike to violate the federal in
junction against picketing and
to tie up the docks and win the strike.
Hynes and Harvey were arrested
at the demand of Holt Ross, head of
the Mississippi State Federation of
Labor now in New Orleans as Special
Representative of the A. F of L. to
do his bit to sell out the strike. The
scab herder Ross, in a signed article
in the New Orleans Federationist last
week. called for the arrest of the re-
volutionary union organizers in the
following words:
"A great amount of literature has
been circulated by the Communists
who advocate that the strikers act in
mass and go on the docks and smash
the injunction. I would like to know
If the New Orleans Steamship Asso-
citation had requested that Federal
authorities raid the Communist head
quarters and cite the guilty parties
for contempt?
Ross demand that Communist
headquarters be raided was granted
by the police and as result, the or
ganizers of the M. w. I. u, who alone
have consistently called on the strik-
ers to mass picket and keep the scabs
off the docks as the only way to win
the strike, are in Jail and the corrupt
leaders OF the 5000 strikers are busy
preparing the sell out.
This is not the first time the union
buster Ross has acted as police spy
and has called on the police to send
militant workers to Jail and to help
him smash their unions. Holt Ross
