NEGROES HAIL
FORD'S SPEECH
Shows COP. Is Party
of Hunger

SYRACUSE, N. Y, June Is. -
Were sure with you, Mr.. Ford, and
with the program of the Commu-
mist Party, more than score Of
Negro workers here told the Ford,
the Communist candidate for vice
president, yesterday, after 500 SYRIA
cuse workers heard him speak at
an enthusiastic election rally at Pc
lop's Hall.
This was the first time these Negro
workers had ever heard the pro-
gram of the Communist Party. Their
enthusiasm came firm the bottom
of their hearts.
Ford spoke especially on the fourth
plank of the Communist Platform:
Equal rights for the Negroes and
self determination for the Black
Belt" He described how the burden
of the crisis was being thrown, by
the employers, not only on the shoul-
ders of the workers generally but
especially on the backs of the Negro
workers. Unemployment is greatest
among the Negroes, and relief is
much less that even the semi-starva-
tion relief given part of the white
workers. Jim Crowisn, lynching,
and discrimination on the job and
on the bread lines is worse during
the crisis than ever before.
Republican Don't Regret"
Ford took up the keynote speech
at the Republican National Conven-
ton, and declared: The Hoover
hunger government cynically pro-
claims that it has no apologies to
make for the 100000 jobless, the
SO per cent wage cuts during its re-
gime. 1t has nothing to regret for
the starving to death of whole fami-
lies of. the unemployed, for the ter
rife oppression of all the working
class
Its concern is not with the suffer
ing of the working class, but to pre-
serve the decaying capitalist system
of hunger and death.

THREAT TO EXPEL
LATHERS' LOCAL
Vice-President of AFL
Aiding Racketeers

NEW YORK. -. Acting upon iri-
struction from William j McSorley,
President of the Lather's Interna-
tiona1 Union, and Vice-President OF
the Executive Board of the American
Federation of Labor, President
Murphy Of the Lathers international
Union threatened to revoke the
Charter of Lathers Union, Local 244,
Brooklyn.
This action is being taken in spits
of the fact that this membership has
been fighting against a lockout and
strikebreakers for over nine months.
The excuse given is that the Inter
national needs money, and that the
per capita tax must be paid regard
less Of the locals situation.
The real object is to reorganize
the union for the pudpose Of again
admitting the labor hacketeers which
hte membership successfully forced
out of their ranks nine months ago
along with three business agents.
The membership realizes that they
are being exploited and they have
drawn sharp lines and are waiting
to Illustrate this anticipated action
which is threatened for today.
McSorley emphasized that the mil
liant members that fought for the
demands of the rank and file will
have to be eliminated from the union.
The reason for this is obvious, these
militant members have bravely
fought the gangsters and racketeers.
