Welfare HEAD TALKS
ON SOCIAL AGENCIES
Clients Are Human Beings and
Not Another Case" Says
David C. Adie.

Clients of social agencies are human
beings, and not just another case"
David c. Adie, commissioner Of social
welfare for New York State, told
conference Of volunteer social workers
yesterday In the United States Chamber
OF Commerce.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Council of Social
Agencies, and the regular meeting of
the council was postponed to take part
in the conference
DR.. Frederick w. Perkins. chairman
OF the council, explained the training
course being held for the volunteer
workers. Mrs. John Jay O'Connor,
chairman of the Council Committee on
Volunteers, introduced Mrs. Adie.
Mr.. Adie pointed out that THE care
OF all Is the concern Of ALL" and said
that there must be more sharing, not
alone Of wealth. but of skill and other
attributes Of the human race. The
work OF meeting changing conditions
will be slow and arduous, he warned,
and cannot be accomplished by head
long charge. The human, smiling atti-
tude toward the client is one Of the
first essentials to win that client over
to the proper use of the social agency
for the clients benefit, he pointed out.

The class conscious workers, men,

carried through numerous successful
courageous, heroic struggles against
the employers and their agents will
undoubtedly greet the Union in its
sincere effort to head the struggles
for the Negro workers. They will
undoubtedly display enthusiasm and
courage, and will take pride in such
struggle.
Some Beginnings Made.
Some beginnings have been made by
the Union. In some of the dress and
fur shops, the white workers have
successfully defeated all the schemes
and maneuvers Of the bosses to take
advantage OF the Negro workers. The
Union has also brought to the fore,
in many instances, the specific de-
nandS Of the Negro workers, and has
succeeded in one of its labor agree
ments with the Bosses Association

guard the Negro workers against the
practiced forms Of discrimination.
The Union also succeeded some
what in drawing Negro workers into
its leading committees, developing
their initiative. But all this is only
the first step in the direction of i'm
proving the Union activities among
the Negroes, and are by no means
sufficient to cope with the Negro
problem.
Much more intensive educational
and agitational activities are re-
ouired to call the attention of the
masses to this important problem.
Above all, it is imperative to carry
through our program into life. into
actual deeds, into actual practice,
through daily struggles.
The G. E. B., at its plenum, to be
held in May, will have to work out
a detailed, clear-cut program for the
Negro work in the Union. 1t will
have to take special measures, Or
ganizational guarantees, that this
program will be realized. The young
revolutionary Needle Trades Work

drawn into the activities Of the Ne

careful guidance and attention Of the
Union leadership.

the Unemployed Council.
Co In planning the activities and
struggles Of the unemployed for jobs
and relief the Union leadership
failed to take into consideration, and
to lay especial emphasis, upon the
struggles against discrimination Of

City, and the National Secretariat as
well as the National Bureau failed
to review thoroughly (since the Ma
tional Convention) the Negro work
in the various centers. Consequently
no measures were taken to correct
this basic weakness Of the Union.
Considering the fact that the
Union had somewhat increased its
Negro membership and also increased
its Negro actives, even under these
conditions, one can easily conclude
that the Union would have enrolled
many more Negro workers In its
ranks had it made a conscious effort
to fight. in a militant manner, for
the rights of the Negro masses, had
it carried on sharp struggles against
all forms of chauvinistic tendencies
in its ranks, and had it paid special
attention to the Negro complaints
and grievances.
Indeed, one mistakenly charges the
leadership of the Union with chau-
whistle tendencies. On the con-
trary, it is an established fact that
the leadership demonstrates a healthy
approach and a comradely attitude
towards the Negro workers. This,
however, is not sufficient to reach
the broad Negro masses. The lead
ership of the Union did not awaken
the revolutionary pride and con-
seriousness of the white workers to

noyed that they regarded Anna as
petty bourgeois housewife, who did
not understand anything about Par
ty work. He knew that one day she
would herself reach a stage when
she would join the Party. They
shouldn't always talk such rubbish!
But still, tonight she might perhaps
make trouble, he thought, as he went
through the passage leading to the
street.
Hermann stood and chatted to the
delegate outside for a few moments.
Two more contrasted types could
scarcely be imagined than the stocky
worker Hermann and the pale little
man who now stood with upturned
collar, shivering in the cold. He
told Hermann that he was working
as clerk at Lorenz's and had been
elected on the works council in
spring.
Don't smoke 50 much" Hermann
advised him good naturedly, as the
comrade offered him cigarette and
Lit one for himself. He had seen in
the Pickering light of the match
that the speakers eyes were feverish.
We'll, what should one do about
it, comrade?" he said with a tired
smile, II expect that many of you
in this street can't boast of perfect
health"
He looked into the dark, silent
street in front of them.
Goodnight, comrade." He shook
hands with Hermann, turned and
disappeared in the darkness.
Until Sunday night nothing in
particular seemed to happen. The
newspapers were read more carefully
than usual, somebody Or other would
bring a reactionary paper into the
Red Nightingale that would pass
from hand to hand. No absurdities

days. The least that was said was
that the Communists intended Ito

The Vorwaerts was worst of all.
There were several young Social
Democrats among the workers who
smashed the windows of the Bad

broad daylight and under the eyes of
the police. 81
On Saturday, someone hung the
front page Of the Nachtausgabe,

tionary Hugenberg paper, Tag),
which carried as usual blatantly
provocative headline, in the window
Of the Nightingale. Above 1t was
written "Poison-don't touchl" Later,
someone else wrote across the page:
Therefore, only read the Rote

The discussion groups OF women in

somewhat more frequent and lasted
longer, sometimes men also took part
in these talks and told what they
had seen and heard in the factories or

BY BEN GOLD.
National secretary Of the


National Secretary of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union.
The Communist Party has on sew
eral occasions expressed its recogni-
ton of the fact that the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union has
finally succeeded in overcoming many
of it's past opportunistic tendencies
and has considerably improved it;
methods Of approach, organization
and methods of struggle.
However, some of the most i'm
portant problems, of vast political
significance, do not as yet receive
the necessary attention of the leader
ship.
One of these basic weaknesses OF
the union is the handling Of the Ne
gro problem. The Negro needle
trades workers, just as the Negro
workers in other industries, are the
most exploited, tie Nswest paid, and
are subject to various specific brutal
forms of explorations, discrimina-
ton and abuse. In many needle
trades shops, the bosses practice the
segregation policy.
Yet the class struggle union cannot
claim that it exercised it's maximum
effort and ability to convince the
Negro workers, through effective
deeds, that it is championing the
fight for Negro rights and equality
Neither can the leadership of the
union claim that it fulfilled its reyo-
lutionary duty in waging a consist
ent umtiring daily struggle against
Chauyinistic tendencies Of white
workers who are victims of the
theology spread by the bosses and
their agents.
Faults Uncovered.
A recent thorough investigation
made by the Union has established
the following facts:
(a) The Negro workers don't fee
that there is genuine determination
between the Negro workers and the
white workers in the union head
quarters. They feel that the Negro
department, which is constantly &C.
cupied by the Negro workers only
gives the false impression of being g
segregated space set aside for the
Negro workers of the Union.
(b) Chauvinistic tendencies are
manifested by white workers not only
in the shops, but even within the
ranks of the active workers who have
recently been drawn into activities in
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-04-06
Negro rights and equality.
The Suhcontrart system.

The SubcOntract System.
In many instances the employers
and their privileged white workers
share" the exploitation of the Ne
gro workers by having these white
workers act as subcontractors who
employ" experienced and skilled Me-
gro workers, for a miserable wage.
In such cases, known to the union,
the boss exploits both the Negro and
the white workers, but not equally.
Here the Negro workers are exploited
more than the white, and this with
the direct assistance Of the back
ward white workers.
In other instances, the employers
give the better line Of work to the
white workers and the cheaper line
Of work TO the Negro workers.
The fault does not lie with the
white workers who are victimized by
the bourgeois prejudices. The lead
ership of the Union did not make a
special study of all these facts and
forms of exploitation, did not expose
them, and did not bring thtl J.
the attention of the white workers.
Consequently they failed to mobilize
the white workers to struggle for
Negro rights and against these
abuses.
Treated AS Slaves.
All this indicates lack of under
standing Of the st:cific tasks IL the
Union actives among the Negro
workers as the workers of an op-
pressed national minority who are
exposed to special forms of oppres-
sion and exploitation. This unique
exploitation is due to historic rea-
sons; namely, the Negroes are looked
upon by the bourgeoisie as imported
slaves, especially because they are
still kept in semi-slavery by the
ruling class, as, for example, in the
South.
The Union will have to create an
atmosphere in the Union, and in the
shops, where the Negro workers will
feel that the Industrial Union is
their union and the white workers
are heading the struggles of the Ne
groes.
This can be achieved when the
leadership Of the Union mobiliSes
widespread activity Of class conscious
workers; namely, in the first ranks,
the Party members, the trade boards,
the shop chairmen and committees.
and all other leading bodies in the
union, and through them. the masses.

buzzed with intense debates. Hermann
rose: Comrades, you have heard the
speakers Report. We now proceed to
the discussion. Who wishes to
speak?"
He looked at the gathering No
one replied. There was a great deal
to be said, but no one liked to begin.
Tt was always like that. One en-
couraaed the other "Jupp, you
begin" Let Otto speak first" We'll,
go ahead, Otto!' Kurt rose and
caught Herulanns eye.
"Comrade Zimmerman will speak. "
MUST CONSIDER
FACTORIES
Kurt began slowly and somewhat
hesitatingly. He could speak more
easily to his mates at work. Com
rades, perhaps this does not belong
to the subject, but I think when we
are considering the trade unions, ne
must also talk about the factories.
You know that as far as we building
workers are concerned, everything
will stop on Wednesday, you know
tIid6s MI III 10 I'll bkAC lOb dAC gu
ing to the demonstration as one
man. But how about the other
trades in Berlin? AS far as I know,
$50 resolutions have been received
from mass organizations and fac
tories, including resolutions from
workers meetings at some OF the
largest factories, protesting against
the ban on the demonstration. That
is a good deal, but not enough by
far. Our unit embraces a number Of
factories, in some of which there
even exist Communist factory units
What's happening there? Why don't
we hear anything about them? We
must use the remaining time till
Wednesday TO get something going
there. Perhaps Hermann viii tell us
what should be done in that direc-
tion?"
He sat down again. Hermann an
swered at once. In some Of the fac
tories, meetings had been organized
which were due to take place before
the end of the week. 1t was already
quite definite that, with few excep-
tions, all work would cease within
the area embraced by the Koesin
local. In one case the Social Demo-
cratic factory council had refused
and had told the workers that ain
the interest Of urgent orders in hand
work must not stop
"A fine factory couneilp'
How much will the management
pay them for that?"
They would nevertheless try, by
means Of leaflets, to get she workers
to stop work.
