STRIKER DIES
OF STARVATION

NEW YORK.-Tragic proof that
thousands of the striking miners are
starving was provided on Tuesday
when a miner walked into the
Pittsburgh office of the Penn n.-Ohio
Striking Miners Relief Committee,
asked for a piece of bread, and then
dropped dead of starvation.
This striking miner preferred to
die rather than scab on his fellow
workers. There are thousands Of
miners Just as heroic, but they can
not be allowed to die while their
fellow workers are able to send them
food.
A statement issued by the National
Secretary OF the Workers Interna-
tional Relief says: 1.-THE death of the
miners who was stricken by starva-

NEGRO REFORNISTS RUSH TO :
DEFEND BOSS TERROR AGAINST
STARVING ALABAMA CHOPPERS
Calhoun in Associated Negro Press Dispatch
Justifies White Supremacy, Admits Class
Interests of Reformists with Capitalists

Admits Class Interests With Bosses
The fear Of these Uncle Tom re-
forrnists that the Negro masses will
fight back against the murderous at
tacks and in so doing will jeopardize
both the comfortable living and the
standing Of these reforrnists with
their imperialist masters is cleary ex-
pressed by Calhoun In the follow
ing paragraph:
"At the present tim the disaf-
fection is spreading. The better
class Negro, thai is, those who have
education and some money, Is try
ing TO keep clear of the racial en-
tanglements TO protest himself and
because he does not trust Commu-
mist leadership. But this Negro
only represents a minority. The
oppressed mass Negro Is anxiously
wondering II there may be chance
for him in what is happening"
What Calhoun means when he says
he does not trust Communist lead
ership is that he sees no graft for
himself and his little group of mis-
leaders In the militant leadership of
the Negro and white workers who
constitute the Communist Party and
its leadership. His statement that his
little monied group is keeping clear
of the struggles of the Negro masses
is an open admission of its utter un-
concern with the brutal oppression
to which these masses are subjected
by the white ruling class of this coun-
try, whose tools and agents Calhoun
and the rest of the Uncle Tom re-
forrnist leaders are.

leaders! Negro and white workers
