worker?" Yes, we can repeat, what
does it mean? The editorial says: 1T
means, first CT all, that the pressure
of white workers on so-called Negro
jobs will diminish. 1t means, secondly,
that hundreds Of Thousands Of Nc
groes will return to work at in
creased wages"
1t took very little time for thous-
ands of Negro workers to feel the
horror of this CHASTITY lie. Instead
of getting more jobs at higher wages,
the first full blow of the MIRA fell
upon the Negro workers. Thousands
lost their jobs, precisely because Of
the MIRA.
No Novice.
The Pittsburgh Courier is no nov
ice at painting the dirtiest knavery
Of the ruling class as boon to the
Negro worker. Throughout the Scots
boro case, the Pittsburgh Courier
fought the International Labor De-
Tense, and fawned on the lynch-mad
Southern rulers. For this the editor
was well paid by being made assist
ant U. S. district attorney.
The very NAACP which foresaw
the New Deal for Negroes as Rocse-
velt's blow to the Southern slave
drivers, was the first forced to swal-
low its words. 1t took less than Is
days for them to admit that some
thing had gone awry with the ERA
for Negro workers.
IN August 10, the NAACP ISSUED a
v news release. Let's see what they
say after the first trial balloon Of
the NRA:
Race labor in many sections Of
the South is being triclsed out OF. the
benefits Of the NRA, according to in
formation received daily by the
NAACP.
THE most widespread practice is
the firing Of them and the hiring Of
whites in their places because the
minimum wage is tco much money
for Negroes
Then they list dozens of instances
where this happened.
With reports pouring in daily about
Negro workers being victimized by
the NRA, the faithful bootlickers of
the exploiting class in the NAACP,
claim that the Negroes are being
"tricked out of the benefits Of the
NRA." But, gentlemen. these are the
benefits" of the NRA--less Jobs,
lower wages and race discrimination.
AS always, you swallowed the pro-
paganda of the slavedrivers and tried
to lead your people into the halter

Union Wage Scale

From Worker Correspondent
AUSTIN, Texas.-Not long ago, in
accordance with the provisions OF
the National Industrial Recovery Act,
the American Federation Of Labor
organized the hod carriers and COM
mon laborers of this city. w. H.
Buck Roberts, a Democratic poll
tician who formerly operated an en-

The leaders of the A. F. Of L. assured
the workers that everyone who Joined

Recently, the general contractors
of the city met to formulate code

Roberts appeared in his capacity Of

EMILE YANDERVELDEmake an economic
analysis of the whole period in which
the working class carries on its
struggles; and it must settle the
strategic objective toward which
the working class must direct itself.
This period is designated on the
agenda in one way only-as Che
period of Fascist reaction" Fascist
reaction, and nothing elsel Not a
word about the growth Of the
revolutionary upsurge; not a word
about the struggles of the workers
and the toiling masses to find a
revolutionary solution to the world
crisis of the capitalist system, to
the crisis of world economy.
Only Temporary Crisis
Insofar as there is a crisis, for
the Social Democracy it is only an
economic crisis, doubtless deep and
sharp, but temporary, and in no
case the basis of new revolutionary
actions.
Tire economic seers Of the Sc
cond International have for two
end three years now been writing
their treatises on the crisis. All are
full of the deepest regret that the
capitalists have not yea managed
to give at least some sign of hope
that the crisis may be overcome.
The theory of organized capt.
talism" has been smashed to bits
long ago bv the crUmbling of stabili-
zaticn, by the world crisis in the ca
ritalist countries and has been
thrown On the garbage heap.
This Socialist Party theories of the
crisis have laared on such ideas as
STRENGTHENING ths banks. and the
buying up Of the securities of bank
rurt concerns by the capitalist state.
Secrecy had these theories been
put forward when it became clear
that the introduction of state ca
pitalisn'" in Germany and in Austria,
which had been hailed by the wlfSle
Second Socialist International as the
foundation of the socialist edifice,
are no more than stages in the dew
elopr' ent of Fascism.
Socialists Discover America!
On the eve of their Paris confer
ence, the theoreticians and the poll

eager for some shadow of hope of
an end to the crisis devoted them
selves to the discovery of America;

viii Rogers In
Down To Earth"
Coming To Gala

Will Rogers newest comedy.
Down To Earth" comes to the
Gala Theatre next Sunday. It is
said to focus all the brillIance that
has made him the keenest and most
quoted observer in the country to-
day. While in sense the picture
is a continuation of Rogers first
talkie, They Had To See Paris
It's theme and locale are completely
different.
The story opens with Rogers as
pike Peters," the Oklahoma mil
lionaire, back home again with his
family after their Paris jaunt. The
stock market is shot to pieces, and
Peters is greatly worried, but his
wife has an Unsuitable desire for So
cial honors and his son aids her in
extravagant spending. The failure
OF bank forces Peters to apply for
local loan, and, that failing as a
result of Mrs. Peters love Of ele.
gance and display, he goes to Chi.
cago with the same result. How he
gets his family down to earth again
forms the basis of the situation.
Down To Earth" Is called the
most important picture OF Rogers
career. 1t was written by the author
of "They Had To See Paris" Homer
Croy, especially to fit the stars
talents.

State Officials Recognize
New Democrat Club

The Democratic State Committee
this week placed its stamp of ap-
prevail on the officers recently elect
ed by the Colored Citizens Demo-
cratic Club of King County. This
action outlaws the claim set up by
N. N. Carter, former president, and
DR.. Arthur Williams, former secre-
tary, that they are the official heads
of the colored organization. Dissen-
sion arose in the colored club soon
after the close Of the election cam
paign and two groups sought to con-
troll the patronage to be given col
ored citizens. The following letter
has been issued by the state COM
mittee and probably will bring
peace to the colored club:
Seattle, Wash,
January 10, 1888.
To whom it may concern:
Mr.. Oscar Alberts is now presi-
dent of the Colored Citizens Demo-
cratic Club of King County. This
is an organization which Mr.. Alberts
assisted materially in organizing last
year and at the, election of new
officers held recently he was chosen
president. This is the only colored
Democratic Club which has been rec
ognized at the Democratic headquar-
