Big Meet In Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, o., July 2o.-Nearly
1000 workers turned out to hear Will
liam z. Foster, Communist candi-
date for president, at the Labor
Temple last Monday night
The mass meeting was preceded by
huge street demonstration at which
Foster was cheered by the workers. A
parade to the hall followed.
A large percentage of the workers
who greeted Foster were Negroes.
Fosters speech was received with ire
mendous enthusiasm.
He discussed the revolutionary way
out of the crisis, the importance of
the Communist Party election cam
paign, and exposed the A. F. Of L.
misleaders. He pointed out how the
Socialist Party tries to deceive the
workers.
Lies In Local Press.
The Cincinnati Post, reactionary
Scripps-Howard paper, came out
with slanderous article on the Fos-
ter meeting. BY quoting several So
cialists who attended the meeting,
the article tried to show that there
was a great deal of dissension in the
audience.
The workers of this city are look
ing forward to the arrival of James
w. Ford as another opportunity to
deal a blow at the so-called liberal
administration here.

Ford in Wilmington, Del.
WILMINGTON, DEL, July 21.--Sev-
eral hundred workers, q majority OF
them Negroes, crowded the Work
mems Circle Hall to hear James w
Ford, Communist presidential
candidate.
This city, property of DUPONT
munitions manufacturer, centre of
Jim Crowism, and home of tenty-f1ve
thousand unemployed, sat up and
rubbed its eyes with amazement at
Fords reception.
IL Previous Meetings Banned.
In the past all open air meetings
of workers were suppressed in this
city. Intimidation of Negro workers
who gathered in groups was rampant
Nevertheless, nearly three hundred
Negro workers attended Ford's recep-
ton. Negro workers filled nearly
every seat and overlooked into the
vestibtle. For two hours they lis
tened to Ford.
| A corp of detectives were stationed
at the entrance to the hall. They
vainly attempted to intinidate the
Negro workers. Socialist in this city
have always been given permits for
open air meetings, while this right
has been denied to the Communists.
Challenges S. p. Nominees.
Ford challenged Maurer, vice.
presidential candidate on the social
ist ticket who is scheduled to speak
here tonight, to answer the charges
he launched against the Socialist
Party. Ford pointed out how the So
cialists have decried the bonus, war,
unemployment, etc. Ford gave with
ering answers to socialist questions
and exposed how the socialist lead
ers have attempted to use the Debs
tradition to cover up their work OF
betrayal.
Two weeks ago committee of
workers backed by one thousand un-
employed put demands to the City
Council. Y City Hall was astounded
Only recently the Mayor announced
that radicals would be squelched. He
was forced, however to back down
Negroes Are Starving.
A few dollars for each family is the
r1eagre relief given to the unem-
ployed. Negroes are Jim Crowed.
Most Negroes here are SO pauperized
that the paper shacks they live in
are often blown away by the winds.
