NEW YORK, Aug. II (IN.S).
Wall Street took a back seat for
Chicago again today and didn't
like it at all
Traders in the street" are
more at sea currently than they
have been since the upturn
started. One group of wheat
men maintain that the market
will steady itself before many
days and that today's prices will
seem cheap in comparison with
what they will be on Labor Day.
Another group, equally astute
heretofore, maintains the decline
has So impaired accounts as to
make a quick recovery out of the
question. Both agree the minimum
prices and pegging operations
have defeated their own ends.
The stock market is still a
dangerous thing to play around
with, and barring unforeseen in
flationary gestures from Wash
ington, will continue so until the
wheat tangle is Strengthened out.
Utility shares continued to be
the sore spot of the list, and
prospects over the next few weeks
do not make the outlook any too
cheerful. Consolidated Gas went
down too easily yesterday, indi-
eating plenty of stock for sale
around the so level and too few
bids under that level.

bought yesterday. Allied Chemical

10000 shares of distillers, tits
said. This might we'll be taken

For the next few weeks the
loadings figures will show less
favorable comparison with year
ago. Nevertheless, holders OF
large blocks of stock in Union

their positions.

PAINTERS
FOR JOBLESS
INSURANCE
20 Locals at N. j.
Conference Endorse
the Campaign
STATE REFERENDUM
S. P. C. of Painters in
State Jobless

NEWARK, N. J.--At a conference
of the Laymen'S Committee, Painters
of the State of New Jersey, at which
there were delegates representing 20
locals from all over the State, voted
unanimously to support the struggle
for unemployment insurance. The
conference also went on record de-
manding cash pay and union rates
to be paid by the cities and the State
on all relief jobs, or on jobs provided
through the Citizens Committees.
Majority Unemployed
The decision of the conference was
made after quite a discussion in
which many delegates took part on
the existing conditions among the
painters. The discussion brought out
that at least 65 per cent Of the paint
ers in the State are today unemploy-
ed. Many of the employed are work
ing only one or two days week. The
conditions among the unemployed
painters are terrible, Up till now, the
union as such has taken no steps to
develop a struggle for relief for the
jobless members. However, among the
rank and file the realization is grow
ing that something has to be done
to relieve the suffering of the thou
sands Of painters who are without
work.
The decision made by the confer
ence Of Laymen's committee of the
painters. on Sunday, June 18th, is
now going to the State Conference
Board, and from there, it will be sent
to all locals of the union in the
State, for referendum vote.
1t is up to the membership now
to see that it is taken up everywhere
throughout the state and discussed
in each local. Around this program,
actions should be developed which
will result in forcing the cities and
the state relief bureaus to employ
workers on all relief jobs at union
pay, and that this pay should come
in cash.

Send 30 Unemployed
Women to the Labor
Camp in New York

NEW YORK.-Thirty jobless wo-
men were sent to Camp Terra. This
camp is the initial step in starting
forced labor camps for women, SINH
lar to those now used for jobless
men. The State Temporary Elmer
geny Relief Administration expects
tc have 200 women in the camp in a
short time.
The sending of women to these
camps was sponsored by Mrs. Roo
ssvelt and Frances Perkins, secre
tary of Labor. In New York it has
the support of the Women's Trade
Union League.
Officials admit difficulty In re-
cruiting as there is determined
resistance to be placed on forced
labor They state, Letters received
by the State Emergency Relief Ad-
nlinistration indicate that many I'M
employed women have deferred ap-
plying for admission to Camp Terra
because they enormously believed
the camp was part of the Federal
reforestration program and they
would be required to engage in re-
forestration work similar to that Of
the Civilian Conservation Corps"

the terrible weakness of the Party.
Yet every honest worker, both white
and Negro, knows that this is a sign
of the strength of the Party and it's
determined stand on this question.
BY its lying attack on Jim Mallory's
article, the New York Age exposes
itself more openly as an enemy OF
the Negroes of Harlem, who will not
be misled by such INSCRIPTIONS
methods.
The tremendous increase in sup
port for the Communist Party by
large masses of Negroes throughout
the South has been won precisely
because the Party has stood firm in
the very heart of the lynch-Iaw re-
action as the fearless fighter for alb
solute equal rights for Negroes. A
few brief examples will suffice to
bring out this point
The Fight of the Jobless.
On Nov 7, of last year, 5000 white
and Negro workers demonstrated at
the Birmingham courthouse for
equal unemployment relief and other
immediate demands. AT the same
time committee Of white and Ne
gro workers presented the workers
demands to the City Commission.
President Jones tried to sidetrack the
unemployed issue and asked the head
Of the delegation, Mrs. Mary Leon
ard, a Southern white Communist, IL
she believed In social equality. When
she answered emphatically In the
affirmative. she was ordered never
to return to the office. 1t was such
courageous action at the very mo-
ment when the South was receiving

The Fearless Fight OF the Communists in the South

while he was hunted by the sher-
catur, Southern white workers risked
their lives getting information as
to the activities of the lynch MODS,
constantly keeping in touch with the
Communist Party 80 that it could
render militant protection to the
Scottsboro boys in case of an attack.
On the eve Of the Decatur trial,
thousands of workers attended a
Scottsboro mass meeting in Birming-
ham, white and Negro mingling
freely, thus showing their determine

freedom of the boys. At the same

threats of the xxx. against the
Negroes, forcing this organization of
man-hunters to retreat, even to the

leaflet that they are really the

These are a few examples out of

The bold and dynamic program of
the Communist Party has created a
really new situation in the South.
The Negro people are looking UP.

mood for equal rights. There is
more interest, more discussion and
more action around the Negro ques-
ton among the masses in the South
today than at any time since the re-
construction days. For a while GER
tain comrades In the South began to
think that we could not win the
white workers because of our sharp
fight on the Negro question. This
is why 1t was so necessary to bring
out In the open the mistakes which
we're mentioned in Jim Mallory's ar
ticle. The fact is that just because
of our heroic and correct fight for
full equality, we are paving the road
for bringing the white toilers into
greater joint action with the Negro
masses against the ruling class. Mr..
Moore Of the New York Age, and
the whole flock Of Negro misleaders,
are playing d losing game. The cards
of history are stacked against them.
Step by step the Communist Party
is marching forward in the South.
