Burroughs
Tells of War
OnLynchers
BY CARL REEVE

NEW YORK.-"The New Deal for
the Negroes of the United States has
meant an increase in lynching of Me-
groes to Sc SO far this year, an in
crease in the number of legal lynch
ings. a cutting of wages and firing
of Negroes under the N. r. A., and
Jim Grow and discrimination against
unemployed Negroes" said Williana
j. Burroughs, Communist candidate
for Comptroller of New York City,
today.
mot only has the brutal terror
against the Negroes increased along
with lynchings, but the legal lynch
ing by the government bodies and
courts has increased.
This increase in terrorization Of
the Negro workers is an attempt
through bloody suppression to force
the Negro workers to accept the ex-
trenely bad conditions imposed on
them by the N. r. A. without a
struggle" Burroughs charged.
mot only does the N. R. A. dis
criminate against Negroes by setting
differential wages for North and
South, but the Negroes are given the
starvation minimum wages in the
codes, those more skilled are being
fired and replaced by white workers.
The Conservation Camps, President
Roosevelt's personal pet, segregate
and jim Grow the Negro unemployed
youth. The increase in terror un-
der the N. r. A. is seen again in
the legal lynching OF Euel Lee, the
attempt now to legally lynch Craw-
ford in Virginia, the legal lynching
of George Meadows in Alabama,
Grady Brooks and George zuber in
Georgia, and many Others
Socialists Support Lynchers
The Communist candidate for
Comptroller showed that the Social
ist Party has the same policy against
the Negro workers as the other old
line parties. The Socialist Party's
unemployed committees in Harlem
tell the workers not to fight, but to
go home and wait, and they will take
up the question. The Socialists I'M
employed work is carried on like a
welfare or charity body. The Social
ist Party tells the workers that there
are no special demands for the Ne
groes. They tell the Negroes in the
South that they must accept the
Jim Grow and must not challenge
the ruling class of the South, that
they must "use different methods" in
the South and take no action. They
do not run Negro candidates in the
South.

Washington Bureau.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Ad-
NiniStration's plan TO drive the
homeless unemployed into transient
camps, where they will be forced to
work for subsistence, was formally
announced today by the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration in
a sugar-coated statement emitting
the Nazl aspects of the program.
AS the Daily Worker reported last
week, any unemployed person who
hasn't lived in one state for a year
is eligible" to be sent to these camps
by police, the railroads and sheriffs. "
This was not mentioned in the an
nouncement today, but officials again
confirmed it.
The whole story was told by Harry
L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Re
lief Administrator, in the presence
of a score or more of reporters last
week, but the Daily Worker alone
published it. AS if aware that the
capitalist press SHE'D at the raw
ness of Hopkins story, the Relief Adj
ministration today carefully empha-
sizes that the transient centers" (eot
camps will be stated by trained
social workers who will be able to
give not only relief in the form of
food and shelter, but also help the
individuals in working out their per-
sonsl problems"
An allotment of 100000 a month
is ready for use in New York State,
fer cente-s in New York City and
Buffalo. First, however, the Gov
ernor must request it. One camp al
ready operating in rural Florida is
"sheltering' more than 500 unem-
pioyed.

Miners of 81 Locals
Reject Roosevelt
Edict to End Strike
Send Dele CATION to
Capital for Union
Recognition

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Nov. Rep
resentatives of 81 captive mine locals
met today at Uniontown, Pa. The
meeting was called by Hynes, U. M.
w A. District president, to vote
on Roosevelt's peace" pact. Hynes
demanded the meeting vote accept
ance, but speech after speech by the
miners opposed Hynes' proposal.
No vote was taken, Hynes realiz-
ing it would defeat the demand Of
Roosevelt. Instead delegation of
eight was elected TO go to Washing
ton to see Roosevelt and present the
position of the miners and demand
union recognition.
Martin Ryan, so-called insurgent
leader, was elected to head the dele
cation, and Hynes. the Provisional
President of Dist. 4, was also elect
ed to accompany the delegation.
Hundreds of miners gathered out
side the hall where the meeting was
held. bitterly expressing their re-
sentiment against the treacherous
Roosevelt peace" pact.
While the decision of the meeting
expresses the strong pressure of the
rank and file, the proposal for a
delegation to Roosevelt states: That
it is to seek application of the
captive mine agreement and aSsur-
ance from the President that it
means union recognition"
With such stand, in face Of the
combined forces against the miners,
when everybody in the mining field
can see the peace" pact means
right-o way to the company union
Brotherhood, organized by Friclz
Coal Company, only confusion and
weakening Of the morale Of the
strikers can result.
AS one Of the strikers outside the
hall said: How can We go back
under such an agreement. We have
the bosses and all the company men
down on us, and if We were lucky
to get job, it would be the dirtiest
in the mines"
The Prick Coal Company has an
nounced through posting of notices
at the mines that the mines would
reopen when the employees are as
sured Of protection"
Sheriff Hackney Of Fayette Coun-
ty declared THAT when the govern
ment and the union officials see the
time has come to open the mines,
will see that the men going through
are protected if I have to deputize
half of Fayette County"
In this way they are preparing to
Jam the peace" pact down the
Threats of the miners by intimidation,
deputized gun thugs and military
forces if they don't work.

Let me tell you that if labor was

you don't know that we had TO put

Direct Government
Loans Believed Near

Washington. Dec. l9-lP,-The idea
Of making direct governmental loans
to industry to increase payrolls and
activity. receiving serious admins
tration study, has gained strength be-
cause Of the lack Of new corporate
and bank financing from private
sources.
Ordinarily hundreds Of millions are
lent to business and industry annual
~ in long term bonds or common stock
issues. Shorter time bank loans have
totaled similarly huge sums. This
year. however. corporate financing Is
relatively negligible and bank loans
are low.
Some advocate the use Of govern
ment funds on q large scale to fur
nish m immediate supply Of pur-
chasing power on large scale. with
out primary regard to the actual need
Of the industry. Others urge federal
loans simply to the extent needed to
supply normal needs.
