BY MARTIN MORIARITY

CHICAGO, Ill.-YearS of chopping
v cotton from sun-up to shutdown,
and then eight weary years in the
Stockyards of the "emancipated"
North, long ago convinced Isaiah
Joyce that the Negro workers must
fight for bread alongside their
white brothers. That's why he is
familiar figure at the relief sta
tons, demanding immediate aid
for Negro and white families in
stead of the miserable calories of
starvation diet begrudged them by
Cermak'S office boys.
That's why he is candidate of
the Communist Party for State
Senator.
JOYCE'S HOME"
You have to be careful of the
treacherous, Sagging stairway that
you climb to get to Joyce's "home"
And, If it rains, it's better not to
sit down-youll only have to dodge
the rain, under which the roof is
SlOHIy pSIIS1lllg.
When I arrived Joyce was telling
a comrade of the latest recruits to
the Unemployed Council, in which
he is active.
"Will Powell" he was saying.
"was out of job for twelve months
but the relief station gave him not
a thing. Then he came to the
Council. We fought his case. Now
he gets $3.50 every two weeks and
fuel for himself and wife. That's
not much, of course, but it showed
Powell something that I learned
you can win nothing unless you
fight for it, organized with the rest
of the workers.
THE CASE OF LAURA SMITH
Then there was Laura Smith.
She was single worker and SO
she was expected to sink in a
corner and die quietly. But the
Unemployed Council forced rent al
lowance and grocery order for her
three every two weeks"
Against Joyce, faithfully defend
ing this capitalist system that be-
slows - sometimes r. such humane
charity on the workers is the DEM
ocratic Congressman, A. j. Savage.

WHY Southern Workers Should
Vote Communist on NOV. 8
Equal Rights for Negroes and Self Determination for
Black Belt Is One of Key Demands of Platform
By MYRA PAGE

THE writer of this article is the
Daily Worker correspondent in
the Soviet Union. She is the
author of "Gathering Storm"
recent novel about life in the
South.
AS one born and raised in the
"A South, L know full well the
darkness that covers the sun in
Sunny Dixie" In the Seacoast
town of Virginia, where grew up,
both Negro and white workers have
suffered heavily because they fell
for the bosses policy of divide and
rule" In the shipyard and on the
docks, unions were smashed, strik-
es lost, and wages slashed, time
and again, because labor was d.
vided within its own ranks, along
lines of color. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor officials followed
the employers policy Of jim Crow
ing the cololed workers, and adj
vising both colored and white a.
gainst going out in sympathy
strikes, in support Of their broth
ers. Also the middle class of people,
the doctors, grocerymen, teachers,
and others have suffered because of
this division in la5cys ranks. When
the workmens wages fell, the
standard of living of the white
collar workers. and professionals
came down too.

COMMUNISM MEANS FREEDOM
FOR ALL WHO LABOR

TOh ALL Who LADOh
In the six election demands of
the Communist Party, there is one
that has particular significance for
the south. That Is the fourth de-
mand: Equal rights for Negroes
and self determination for the
Black Belt.
I whole heartedly support this
demand, because 1 know it means
freedom and opportunities for IL
million Negroes-an entire people
and for white workers and small
farmers as we'll. Freeing of the Ne
gro people also means freeing of
my white fellows and myself. Real
ization of this Communist plat
form will go far toward Kidding
the south of its fearful bitter
darkness, and bringing about a
happier condition for all. All, e6-

friendly relations Win one announcer,
and also because in the twelve
months spent in the Soviet Union,
I have seen myself how this prin-
ciple Of mutual cooperation of toll
ing masses OF various races and
nationalities, on the basis of full
equality, has worked out in prac-
tice.
EMANCIPATION OF THE
NEGRO PEOPLE
In old Czarist Russia, there we're
many peoples oppressed, like the
Negro in America. There we're the
Uzbeks, the Ukrainians, the Geor-
gians, the Arrnenians, the Jews,
and many more. These rulers fol-
lowed the same policy of divide
and rule" Russian workers and
peasants were told they we're "supe-
rior" to these other peoples, and
one race and nationality was pit
ted against another, the same as
in America today. Not only quar-
rels but actually armed conflicts
took place between different ma
tionalities. Georgians fought Ar
menians, Ukrainians fought Great
Russians, and so it went. Each
mistrusted, blamed, and hated the
other for their misery--until the
revolutionary workers and their
Bolshevik (Communist) Party
showed them their real, common
enemy, and the road to freedom.
AFTER the Revolution OF 1917,
n and the establishment OF the
workers and peasants government,
one Of the first steps taken was
the issuing of Declaration OF
Rights of the Peoples of Russia.
1t recognized the right TO self
government and independence of
every former oppressed nationality.
Today, the Soviet Union is COM
posed of seven Soviet Republics,
bound together in voluntary I'M
ion in the common task of build
ing socialism the Ukrainian,
White Russian, Russian, Transcau-
casiar1. USbek, Turkoman. and Tad
jik republics. Each has Its own
government, school system, and
press in the native language its
national resources and budgets,
and it's f1ourishing cultural life.
Within each Of these republics are
smaller, autonomous republics of
smaller nationalities, who enjoy
full rights to govern themselves
and develop their economic and
cultural life. Everywhere in the
Soviet Union, I found peoples of
different nationalities who once
had fought bitterly between them
selves, living and working together
in harmony. Only the older gen.
erations recall the former hostil-
tiles.

WHY I AM
A RED

What has been happening in my
home town has been happening
throughout the south. AS the old
song goes: "TThe rich grow richer and
the poor grow poorer" because up
until now the rich owning class has
been able to get away with its policy
Of divide and ule." Wages in the
south, for the same work, run from
one-third to one-half less than in
other parts OF the country. This
is a direct product of the caste
system. Lynchings are on the in
crease. Several millions of young
children are wrecking their little
bodies in cotton fields and tending
machines when they should be in
school. want to see and end to
these things. Tl2-t is why I am a
Red.
AT Gastonia, for the first time,
n southern labor learned of this
one way out of it's misery. 1t was
the Communist Party that showed
them and inspired them to organ
ize, develop leaders from their
ranks. Ever since then, it has held
aloft the banner of solidarity and
struggle, in the south, and no
amount of terror on the part of
the ruling class, no amount Of
threats of lynchings, OF night-rides
given its organizers by xxx and
gentlemen" fascist gangs can make
it retreat from its position. Its
members stand by their principles

look down at him exposed the oldest
face that ever Farmer Browns Boy had
seen.
For perhaps two minutes he stared
with such a look Of unbelief in his face
that you would have laughed had you
been there. Meanwhile the Owl was
leaning forward and bobbing his head
in the funniest way as he watched every
move made by Farmer Browns Boy.
There was look of suspicion and a
look Of worry mingled in those big star
ing eyes.
AT last Farmer Browns Boy found
his tongue. "Whoopee!" he cried. "It
can't be. but it is! don't believe it,
but it is so! That's a Barn Owl! As
sure as am Farmer Browns Boy that
is Barn Owl! I never have seen one
before; never have even heard of one
being seen in this part Of the State,
but there is no mistaking that monkey
like face. I wish there were two of
them. Yes, sir, that is what wish.

and made the acquaintance Of Mr.. and

- EVERAL times when he had been
out in the evening Farmer
Browns Boy had heard strange
~ sounds, unlike any he had ever
heard before. They were not
always alike. In fact, they varied con-
siderably. He had guessed that they
were made by an owl, because he could
think of no one else, but still he was
puzzled. Never had he heard Hooty
the Great Horned Owl or Spooky the
Screech Owl or any other members Of
the family with whom he was ac-
ouainted make such noises.
Then one morning when he was
sweeping the barn floor he picked up a
curious thing. 1t was a large pellet
made Of small bones rolled up in fur.
Farmer Browns Boy picked up that
pellet and on his face was look of
puzxlement. He knew what he had
found. He had found similar pellets
many times. He knew that those bones
were the bones of Mouse and the fur

times ventured into the barn to hunt

are any more Of these pellets around?"
He hunted about on the floor of the
barn but found no more. Then he went
upstairs to the NOV, where the hay was
stored. From one end the hay had been
used and save for dust and seed the
moor was quite bare. That is. it was
quite bare but for these things and
pellets. There were ever so many of
the latter and Farmer Browns Boy
knew that whoever had dropped them
was in the habit of sitting somewhere
above, probably on one of the rafters.
At once he began to look along the
rafters, taking each in turn. There was
little light and he could not see clearly.

WINS
SECOND
HEAT
By QUENTIN REYNOLDS

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. 8.
Snow, freezing weather and fin
ally a cold sun breaking through
the snow clouds set the stage
for two we'll contested 10000
meter heats here today as the
winter Olympic games swung into
their third day. Alex Hurd, Of
Canada. won the first heat from
Ivor Ballangrud, of Norway, with
two Americans, Valentine BialaS,
of Utica, N. Y, and Edwin Wedge,
of Detroit, finishing behind them
to qualify.
The second heat went to Irving
Jaffee, of New York, with Frank
Stack, of Canada, second. Bernt
Evensen, of Norway, and Edward
Schroeder, of Chicago, were tied
for third place.
Finals Monday
The finals will be held on Mon.
day afternoon with two
Canadians, four Americans, two
Norwegians competing for the
Olympic title.
The heats were re-run today
following protests of yesterdays
heats.
One of yesterdays heats was
won by Valentine Balls, of Utica,
N. Y, and the other by Edward
Schroeder, of Detroit, after two
Canadian skaters, one Japanese
and one American had been dis
qualified for infractions of the
rules.
A little display of temperament
on the part Of the American
skaters held up the race for half
an hour. They weren't informed
until this morning that the two
heats were going to be skated
over and as three of the Amer
ican bladesters had qualified they
resented having to do it all over
again.
However, after sulking awhile
they decided to come out, un-
happy but quite determined to
skate the foreigners dizzy.
Band Plays
Meanwhile, the band played
such appropriate melodies as I'm
the Good Old Summer Time"
which oddly enough had the eff
feet of making the snow take q
temporary holiday. The sun, too,
began to peep out at intervals
from behind the heavy snow
clouds.
Now, the Norwegians decided
to go temperamental and they
issued an ultimatum that they
wouldn't skate unless Frank
Stack, the Canadian, who was
disqualified yesterday for bump
ing Bernt Evensen on the west
turn, was allowed to race. Referee
Joseph K. Savage, finally dis
gusted with the display of petu-
lance, pulled his watch out and
said, "The race starts in five
minutes. Those that don't ap-
pear are disqualified"

LAKE PLACID, Feb. 6.-The
icy, Olympic bob-run on the
precipitous slope of Mt. Van

another near tragedy today,
when the Belgian, four-man bob
team. driven by Max Houven,
climbed high on the end en-
bankment on the white-face
curve, and, catching a runner
in a rut, turned over to spill
it's occupants.
Houven and Louis van Heg-
gle were hurried to the General
Hospital, where it was said that
Houven was suffering from a
sprained back and Van Heggie
from a deep cut over his right
eye. The latter was discharged
from the hospital after treat
ment, but Houven was kept
under the care of physicians.
Both will be back in time for
the race next week. The other
two members Of the team were
uninjured.
