FOR STRUGGLE
Priority Loss Would
Mean Slavery

NEW YORK.-A meeting of rank
end file workers CT the International
Biographical Union Local 6 was
held Wednesday at 103 Lexington
Ave. and worked out and accepted a
plan Of struggle, against the elimin-
alton of priority, and against the
coming wage cut.
The Printers League bosses have
posted notices in many shops an
nouncing elimination of priority and
a IT Per cent wage cut. The wage
cut is already thrown over to ar
bitration by vote which the Off
cial machine in the union TANNED
through recently, against the opposi
ton of the Amalgamation Party and
militant rank and filters.
But, though the officials now make
gestures against the wage cut which
by forcing arbit ton they have
granted already, they are quite silent
on the even worse feature Of destruc-
ton of priority which will throw %
per cent more workers out of jobs,
and give the foremen the right to
hire and fire as they like and smash
shop control which has been estab-
lished as a result of long and bitter
strugg;2 besides setting up reign
of terror and blacklist in the shops.
The AmaIgamation Party is on
record for a fight to the end and
against the abolition of priority, and
is issuing an appeal to all members
to get ready for struggle on October
l. when the employers demands are
to go into effect, according to the
employers notices.

WELSH EXPOSES
"NON-PARTISANS"
Shows Aid to jim
Grow Republicans

NEW YORK. - Frederick Welsh,
Negro worker, candidate for assembly
frmo the 22nd assembly district on
the Communist ticket, has issued the
following statement:
"On Monday 1 received by mail
circular sent out by the Universal
NonPartisan League with a head
line as follows:-"All Foolish Ne
groes," and goes on to state that all
Negroes brand themselves as Re-
publicans, Socialists, or Communists,
or pure and simple honest to good
ness white Mems Niggers."
I'm another paragraph they issue
a call to support Edward A. Watts,
a Negro candidate for assemblyman,
at the same time covering up the fact
that Mr.. Watts is candidate on the
Republican ticket.
"The members of this league fail
to Sc the lily-white role played by the
Republican Party, fail to remember
the jim Growing of the Negro Gold
Star Mothers in 1880 by the Repub-
lican Party.
The Communist Party is a party of
the working class, Negro and white;
it is the only party that fights for
the full political, social and economic
equality of the Negro and for the
self-deterinination for the Negroes in
the Black Belt
The Universal Negro Partisan
League is fully aware of the fact that
the Communist Party has nominated
James w Ford for president of
the United States, Henry Shepard for
lieutenant governor of the state Of
New York, William Patterson for
mayor of the city of New York. The
officers of the Universal Negro Nom
Partisan League however, supposed
to be endorsing Negro candidates
whom they thought fit as fighters for
the liberation OF the Negro masses,
have chosen Mr.. Watts, from the
most outstanding Negro batting party
in the United States.
