NEGRO WOMEN
WORKERS

In the section on Negro women
it is pointed out that the 100000
Negro women at work are especial
ly oppressed. "They. are exploited
by the capitalist class more than
any other group Of workers. They
do the dirtiest jobs at the lowest
pay and are bargained off against
white women workers in the gen.
eral drive for the reduction Of
wages. A greater proportion Of Ne
gro mothers must go out to work
for living, even while the child
rem are still babies, because the
husbands earnings are SO small
that they cannot possibly support
the family WAGES Of Negro
women are practically always
lower than +he wares of white wo-
men" A Negro stockyard worker
is quoted as saying:
az don't talk much, because
when get thinking about the
oppression of my race, I only want
to fight. We're not only fighting
for bread. We're FIGHTING for So
cial equality for all"

ance. Workers and organizers will
