Soothes U. NJ. Leaders
Who Put Over Cuts

BULLETIN
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 2l.-
Roosevelt in his speech here today,
in the heart of the mine strike
area, kept a discreet silence on the
mine wage cuts.
He repeated his previous state
ments that the government should
lend money to banks now holding
farm mortgages, and ask them not
to foreclose sound" mortgages.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 21.-Gov-
ernor Roosevelt is here, visiting Lin
coins tomb in the hope of swinging
some Republicans to his side, and
promising in his speech later today
to show how the mining industry can
be stabilized"
The state government here which
floods the strike centers with militia
and suppreSses meetings and smashes
picket lines, is Republican. But
Roosevelt came here almost directly
from Ohio, where his Democratic pal,
Governor White did exactly the same
thing in the eastern coal fields of
the state this summer, and while he
spoke there, Roosevelt kept a discreet
silence on Whites -murderous, strike
breaking actions.
Communists Lead Struggle
The Communist Party not only
makes it part Of its election program
to fight for unemployment insurance
and against wage cuts, but actively
leads such struggles. 1t calls on the
Illinois miners to elect their own
strike committees, to picket and
march in masses, and smash the
wage cut. In Chicago, ILL.,, the Com
munist Party initiates and joins in
a great united front movement
against the SO per cent cut in relief.
Roosevelt spoke yesterday in In
dianapolis, international headquar-
ters Of the Mine Workers but he men
toned that the leaders of that or
ganization had slashed wages in every
state where the operators would deal
with them. Instead, he blamed all
wage cuts on Hoover.

III. M. Wicks spoke in place of
William 2. Foster, Communist
presidential nominee, whose
illness prevented his appearance. Ne
gro and white workers mingled in the
hall. sitting wherever they chose.
They refused to comply with the
Jim-Crow seating arrangements cal
led for by the state law. They cheer
ed the speaker when he stressed the
fourth point in the Communist cleo
ton progranl-equal rights for Ne
groeS and determination for the
black belt.
Our action here tonight" said
Wicks, "is symbolic of our determi-
nation to break Jim Crow lines
and all racial barriers, and achieve
equal rights for Negroes. The unity
of the black and white workers is
greater than any Jim-Crow and
segregation laws, and we shall
break these laws and defeat any
one who tries to uphold them. The
Virginia and other Jim-Cr0w laws
and customs can be smashed by
the united action of the workers,
black and white"
Police Afraid to Attack,
The detectives, uniformed police
and local boss-class politicians who
were present, were in state of
frenzy at this open defiance of the
State Jim-Crow law, but feared to
make an attack or any arrests be-
cause Of the evident solidarity and
determination of the workers present.
The Virginia Assembly Separation
Bill, sometimes known as the Mas
senburg Bill, was passed by. the gem
eral assembly of Virginia and went
into effect on June 10, 1926. 1t de-
clares that "it is the duty of any
person or institution maintaining
any public hall to separate the white
race and the colored race and to set
apart and designate in each such
public hall certain seats to be occu-
pied by white persons and certain
seats to be occupied by colored per-
sens" The law provides that failure
to comply with these provisions shall
be punishable by a fine of 800 to
$500. The law also provides for the
election Of persons who refuse to
comply with the Jim-Crow seating
arrangements.
In this same hall, Norman Tho
mas, Socialist candidate for presi-
dent, recently held a meeting at
which the Jim Crow regulations
were obeyed to the letter. Thomas
excused himself on the ground that
he could not unmake the laws of
the state"
Wicks, in his speech indicted Pres
ident Hoover as responsible for the
shooting of war veteran in Bloody
Thursday, the attack by police and
the army on bonus marchers at
Washington.
He declared that the present starry
alton of millions was not due to lack
of food, but to capitalist control of
food supplies, saying: IF we did not
raise a grain of wheat this year, there
would be enough on hand already to
feed everybody" He called for united
front struggle of Negro and white
workers against wage cuts, and for
relief.
