ploy white men and women in their
places.
Instead of 'benefitting" under the
code, the new employees are forced
to put In the maximum, rather than
the minimum hours per week, and
at present the several Negro house
boys who are still left are exploited
to the utmost by having q greater
number of duties foisted upon them.
Two assistant cashiers we're in
formed Friday evening that after
Sunday their services would be re-
qrtred no longer, as the code required
that they be paid the same salary
for six days work that they were
getting for seven (they were already
cut to the minimum. They are
being replaced with girls.
These men have unfortunately not
been able to feel their solidarity with
their Negro brothers, and have not
joined with them in the battle to
end this exploitation and discrimina-
ton. One of the assistant managers
was also fired without any notice.
A few days later the Negro bus
boys in the coffee shop of Webster
Hall, as we'll as the Negro porter,
were fired. 1t is reported that the
Negro house boys are due to meet
the came fate. There is a crying
need for organization of these ex-
plotted wage slaves by the local Trade
Union Unity League.

White Southern Woman Calls for Unity
of Negro and White Against Starvation
Children Have Not Had Cup Of Milk in 10
Months; All Four Under Weight
tBy a White Southern Woman)


BIRMINGHAM, Ala am a poor
ard working woman. My husband
las been out of work 10 months. We
have got only enough relief from
the Red Cross and public welfare to
keep from starving, but not enough
to keep from going hungry.
1t sure does make a mothers heart
ache to see her children go hungry.
Our children have not had a cup
of milk in 10 months. Our baby will
be eight years old in March, and
weighs SO pounds. We have four
children and all underweight.
Our Is year old son was forced
away from home II months ago be-
cause we could not get enough to eat.
He works hard all the time and gets
nothing but what he eats. He went
away so his little sisters and brothers
could have more to eat.
My husband is now working for
cash relief, but does not get enough
for food and clothes. Our three
smallest are gong 10 school. We
cannot furnish supplies for them,
such as paper and pencil and other
things they need. We cannot pay
their fees.

Urges United Fight on
System of Inequality
(By a Worker Correspondent)

CINCINNATI, OIL would like to
add to the story Of the missing Par
sons boy who came home after his
familys house burned down, to find
no moher or father, and only q
brother, II years old.
What has the future in store for
these Negro boys, Rufus and Ray
mond Parsons? I can judge that the
highways and freight trains will be
their next hunting grounds, and star
walton will be following them wher-
ever they go.
This is good example Of the capt.
talist society. One family Of two live
in mansion with plenty Of room
for 10 humans to live in; the other
family of live in dog house or
one-way rat holes that have no out
let for fire escape. These dog
houses are built Of old boards that

PARTY LIFE

A great deal Of consfusiOn exists
among our Party members in re-
spect to the various mass 0rganiza-
tions, such as the International La
Dor Defense, the Workers Interna-
tional Relief and the Friends of the
Soviet Union. These organizations
are too often regarded as duplicates
of the Party, and the sectarianisrn,
which the Party is striving SO seri-
0usly TO overcome, is found here,
sometimes to an even greater degree
than within the Party itself.
Purpose and Function Of Friends Of
the Soviet Union
The Friends of the Soviet Union is
one OF the mass organizations built
on the principle of the united front.
The basis for this united front is
sympathy for the Soviet Union. Ev-
erybody knows that sympathy for the
Soviet Union is not limited to the
revolutionary workers. There are lit
orally millions of workers, farmers, in
tellectuals and small business people
who are sympathetic to the Soviet
Union for one reason or another.
Some are sympathetic only because
of the Soviet Unions sincere strug-
gle for peace. Others are sympathetic
because the Soviet Government alone
has solved the problem of the ma
tional minorities to the complete sat-
isfaction of the minorities concerned
Still others are sympathetic because
in their opinion the Soviet Union is
conducting a great social experiment.,
the outcome of which Is of vital i'm
portance to humanity. This sympathy
for the Soviet Union is the corner
stone upon which can be built mass
organization which will unite these
diverse elements with the revolution
airy workers on the specific program
of the F.S. u, which is to spread accu-
rate information about Socialist con-
struction in the Soviet Union, to an
swer the lies of it's enemies and to
mobilize the American toiling masses
for it's defense.
However, in order to enlist these
various elements In the F.S.U. and
keep them in the organization the
F.S.U. must be non-party organiza-
ton, and it's agitation and propa-
ganda must correspond to its non
party character, which should also be
reflected in the composition of its
functionaries and committees. Unfor-
tunately the reverse has been true
hitherto. Until the beginning of 1888
the principal activity Of the F.S.U
has been participation in the cam
paigns of the Party. In the Presiden-

Apologies for Use of
Boss-Inspired Terms
By Negro Worker Correspondent

FORT KNOX, KY have been a

Corps exactly 81 days. During that
time have cut down trees, worked on
roads, done kitchen work, worked in
the rock quarry and on trucks, and
done many other types of work.
shall relate one incident that hap
pened to me and a group of eight
boys few days ago.
Our days work was finished and
we were waiting to check our tools.
A group of white boys marched to a
stand-still. The leader stepped out of
formation and quickly checked the
tools for his group. Then he asked the
sergeant, Shall I check the nigger'S
tools also?"
One of the boys in our group gasped,
What did he say?" A drawer lad re-
peated the question to the white boy.
The white boy calmly repeated his
original question. Then, he added,
I'm from the South. That's what we
call you down there
That made all Of us angry. One of
the boys even threatened to smash
his face in with shovel. We all told
him that we respected him, and we
didn't want to be called niggers but
Negroes. He didn't say another word.
The group of boys with him were as
silent as death. Later, he saw one Of
the boys at the show and told him to
tell us he was sorry. He said he wasn't
trying to be funny, but that's what
he had called Negroes all his life.

Negro Unemployed
Workers Protest
to Congressman

The following is a letter sent to
one of the congressman from Bir-
mingham, Ala, by a group Of Negro
workers.
Dec. %, 1888.
''Mr Huddleston,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. G.
Dear Sir:
Calling your attention to Mrs.
Roberta Morgan, director of the De-
partment of Welfare Of Jefferson
County, Birmingham, Ala.
GAS you are the representative of
the State of Alabama we wish to
call your attention to our position as
unemployed workers. We were on the
relief roll more than year and were
not put on the payroll. We were cut
off ON Nov. 20, 1888, at 10 am, the
day cash relief began. Since then we
cannot get any aid from the relief
ROLL.
@Mr. Huddleston, our colored ladies
are treated awfully bad when they
go to the relief office to put in their
orders. They have no place to rest
no rest room and must go some place,
Mr.. Huddleston, it is shameful the
way the poor Negroes are treated
here in Birmingham by the Depart
ment of Welfare.
I'VE are sending you the names o.
the workers who have been cut from
the relief rolls, leaving them without
work or food. 1t is horrible, Mr.. Hud.
dleston.
Only one-haf day in the week yor
can see the relief worker. They dom
consider how hungry we are. Pleast
consider this Immediately as we are
suffering.

Here is a leafet written by the
Chelsea Troop in Boston, calling the
kids of the neighborhood and school
to protest against raising the price
of milk in Boston. This resulted in
gaining 40 new kids for the troop.
Not only that, but when the teacher
in school asked the children (the
same school in which the leaflet was
distributed), "Who are the Pio-
neers?" all the children got up and
answered, eve are the Pioneers. I"
This is swell! Are you doing the
same in your neighborhood and
school? Write and tell us.

The teacher wrote up on the black
board: 1--WE have enough self-respect
to pay our fees" She knew they
could not pay fees. Our children do
not get hot lunches.
It is not just our little children,
but the children Of all the working
class. There are three little children
going to school "bare-footed" They
have not had shoes this Winter.
So the only way to stop all this
trouble is for the working class,
white and Negro, to organize together
and fight together for our rights.
