The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-10-20


In Southern Texas among tho
rice farmers, in New Orleans also
we hear of Coney. The boys at
the Marine Workers quarters in
Gravier Street tell us of the Creole
farmers arming, waiting for Coney
to come down to lead them. In
the Imperial Valley of Louisiana
and up among the Oregon red
woods, on the Mesaba Range and
in Bagley, Minnesota they all know
Coney.
IN New York a letter written By
4 Coney:
Dear Friend: WIll try to drop
you a few lines 10 let you know
I received your letters. Like them
fine, but the only way I see out
of this crash is to organize both
Black and White Labor and Farm
ers and go TO the poll and vote
the old Parties down. The Cap
lists have got us all under THAR
thumb. Now Good People, I would
be very glad if every Body felt Just
Like l do about the condishen OF
the whole world They would not
hesitate about voten the working
class in offs. AS Long as we let
the Capitalists Rule and make our
Laws and Hold our ofises Just that
long we will Be in Poverty. All of
you good Citizens stop and fisk
yourself if you are treaten your
Fellow Citizens Right and YGuF
Dear wife and Children Right TO
Support a Party that has Promest
all thses good things in Life and
you have never got to them yet.
AS soon as they get the offs they
soon forget the Salt of the world
and try to make few more MIL
lion for THAR one class and let
Laber and Farmers go to He'll.
Just like the few landlords here
at my home town, they say Keep
dog poor for poor Hound will
run. Rabbit longer than a Fat
one erill. IF you let these renters
and Sharecroppers and day Laber
get ahead, they won't work The
cotton farmer in this section Of
the Country has about Half crop
of 1881, and the landlords are a
goin to fix the price of picking at
25cts. hundred, and the farmers
can't live at that Winter is COM
ing, and no Clothes and the Rains
in July Euined THAR food crop.
Water got all over it, and when
the water left it, it died. And for
meat you could Kill every Hog in
1onoak County the first of Nover1-
Der and it woulden last the coun-
| ty tall Christmas if it we're dis
! tributed all thru the county. But
| for my own self I have 4 Hogs b
kill for my meat and they wont
average l COW to every 10 fan1leys
all over the county. The question
comes up down Here between the
white Laber and Small Farmer
and Sharecropper and the Negro.
Some white Labers says if it was
not for the Negro in the Black
Belt of this destrick they could get
a fair deal. But here is my vews
about that and l am one of you
one-horse Tenents myself. Here
goes: / have talked Lots to the
Negro and Here is what he says:
We are afraid of the Boss. We
Negroes amt got any protexion. If
we don't do what we are told they
will beat us or maybe kill us. They
can curse us and mock us round
and we hafto do what the Boss
say. We amt got no voice in any
thing. We help feed the world
and cloth the world and Fought
for our country in the World War
and Pay Taxes and cant vote or
Have any voice in any thing,
THE WAY SEE
THIS THING"
1.-THE way I see this think now
Is for Laber one and all, Black and
white, to organize and all pull to-
gether and vote together and do
away with the old parties and build
our own parties and put this
labor party in offs at Resemble
salary and do away with all I'M
eSSary ofiserS we don't need and
our taxes wont be so Hard to Pay.
THAR are 8 thousand acres of land
in Lonoak County that the taxes
amt been paid in 2 years. And II
don't no what they will do about
THAR taxes in 1882, for the Short
Crop and the Short price they
can't more than pay THAR furnish.
/ know men Right Here that work
for what they eat and place to
Sleep. People a tramping the road
from one side of the world to the
other looking for work and can't
find it. Well, am candidate
for Governor of this State on the
Commonist Party. They nomena-
ted me at Little Rock on II of July.
l tried to beg off but cou1dent.
told them that they Had made
a mistake in chusen THAR man. But
they said / was the one man they
wanted for I had showed the
People of this State where / stood.
told them I was not qualifide
for the offs. But some one has
got to Break the ice so l guess it
just as soon be me as any one.
Now. if you Comrades feel me
worthy, vote for Comrade H. G.
Coney in November at the General
Elexion. I promise to do all I can
for the Laber and Farmer Both
white and Black, as am a farm
er myself and no what it means.
Comrade H. C. Coney."
