OPEN ENEMIES AND VETERANS FAKE
FRIENDS KNIFE THEM IN CONGRESS

this temporary halt in slashing the
only means of support of the hun
dreds of thousands of veterans, their
widows and orphans and those suf-
fering from mental disease and tuber-
culcsis.
What Halted Action
The mass pressure developed by
the Veterans National Rank and File
Convention held in Fort Hunt May
1918 is the only force that has chal-
lenged the Roosevelt dictatorship.
The vets demanded that the details
OF the proposed cuts of over $3.50, 000,-
900 in veterans pensions, compen-
cation and allowance be held up until
next Congress convenes. In the
meantime it demanded that the Vet
Grams Bureau give detailed informa-
ton regarding the amounts, the num-
Der of veterans, widows, orphans,
hospital cases involved.
The great majority Of the veterans
who come under the category of non
service disabilities, known as Dis
ability allowance cases, are veterans
who were actually injured during the
war, but due to faulty medical war
records, many of them are unable to
prove their disabilities as service
connected. Many Of them neglected
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-06-05

to make application for compensa-
ton within the time prescribed for
such cases. Widows and orphans
cannot possibly secure evidence to
prove service connection of the dis
abilities Of their husbands and faith
ers. Thousands of veterans who are
suffering from mental diseases, and
tubercular cases which are held as
cases arising from the war, are being
removed from hospitals under this
cut, and have been removed even
prior to the cut. Disabled veterans
who were afforded the use of hos
pitals are now being removed and
thrown onto the streets.
The Victims
1t is these manned and helpless
veterans who number one out of five
of the adult male population of the
average of forty that Roosevelt
threatens to deprive Of their only
means of support. These veterans
would be thrown on every community
adding a million more and their de-
pendents to the 100000 who are
now facing starvation.
Mass protest meetings should be
held and petitions sent to Congress
to stop all cuts in veterans pen
sions and cuts.

Deportees at
Ellis Island
Grees Daily

One day following the visit of 6
Daily Worker representative to ELI!
island, the "Daily" received the fol.
lowing letter from group of de-
portees arrested by Frances Perkins
Department of Labor:
Ellis Island, New York
Dear Comrades;
We, the revolutionary workers at
Ellis Island facing deportation,
greet the Daily Worker and the
I. L. d.
We find that mass deportatlons
have begun again. There are about
40 workers here being deported for
their political activity to Germany,
italy, Greece, Jugo- Slavia and other
countries.
Roosevelts fascist policy Is clearly
shown by the renewed attacks upon
the foreign-born workers through
out the United States. This ex-
plodes the false theory that Miss
Perkins would be more liberal than
her predecessor, Doak.
We call upon all workers to fight
against this wave OF dep0rtations,
as this Is no doubt part Of the pre-
parations for the coming imperialist
war.
We pledge ourselves to continue
our revolutionary activity in the
countries to which we are being
deported.
With revolutionary greetings,
(Signed)

Letters from
Our Readers

Mooney Congress
Arrangements

st. Paul, Mimi
Editor of the
Daily Worker
Dear Comrade:
AS a delegate of the Friends of
the Soviet Union to the Mooney Con-
ference in Chicago, 1 wish to make a
few observations. l drove 480 miles
to the Conference. Four women de-
legates accompanied me in my car.
When we reached Chicago, We spent
over an hour looking for the proper
address to report too. When we had
made contact, we found that very
haphazard arrangements had been
made for the lodging of delegates.
Delegates were scattered all over the
downtown section of Chicago.
There are plenty of empty hotels
in Chicago that would have been glad
to lodge all the delegates at reduced
rates. This would have kept all the
delegates together, prevented unne-
cessary confusion and built up a finer
spirit Of solidarity. Also, 1t would
have been less expensive. The same
Kind of arrangement could have been
made with a restaurant. The res
taurant arrangements that were
made were rather poor. The dele
gates felt that they were poorly
served and overcharged.
The biggest mistake, I think, was
made ON Haymarket Square. Fifty
thousand people were gathered on
the square. At three thirty the sky
was heavily overcast. it was plain
that rain was coming on. 1 walked
over to the speakers stand, calling
their attention to the coming rain,
and suggesting that the march to
the Stadium be started before the
rain chased the crowd indoors. This
suggestion, which was also made by
several other delegates, was ignored.
Consequently, the march had bare
ly started when it began to rain hard.
The crowd melted away, only about
six thousand reaching the stadium.
A few thousand others came later.
I write this letter as tactical
suggestion SO that future conferences
will not repeat the same mistakes.
To properly and effectively broaden
our struggle among the masses it is
very necessary that we take human
as we'll as political elements into con-
sideration.
A feeling of organizational efficien-
cy will encourage everyone, create
confidence, build finer feeling of
solidarity.
Comradely yours,
Oscar ROston.

SIDE SEES cred"

ton Park and had taken over the
tennis courts, ball fields and recrea-
ton houses in the park. Because
many of the Negroes had already
spent one winter Of unemployment,
they began to congregate in the
park in the spring to listen to the
varied solutions of their problems
offered by the Negro and white
speakers.
THREE GROUPS
Soon the Negroes had formed into
three groups, separate from the
white Bug Club. One of these was
controlled by the Economic Fedora
ton, a group of petty bourgeois
Negro intellectuals, lawyers and
school teachers, who had a scheme
for workers to invest penny day
and become rich in ten years. The
money was to be invested in stocks
of corporations such as U. S. Steel,
American Telephone and Telegraph,
and Commonwealth Edison.
Another group was called the
Good Fellows Club, and was COM
posed of Negro workers and radicals,
none of whom had program. The
third group was known as the Min
listers Forum, and was occupied in
discussing the finer points Of Gen
esis and Revelations.
A SMALL group Of Negro Commu
n nists began speaking at the
Good Fellows Club in the early
spring of 1880. At this time there
was still some antagonism against
Communists among the Negroes,
and these few speakers found diff
Guilty in showing the workers the
correct line of action. But they per-
severed throughout the summer and
gradually began to take listeners
away from the other forums and to
attract the workers who were flock
ing to the park in ever greater num-
beers. At that time evictions were
taking place in the black belt at the
rate of about three hundred and
fifty every day. The Communists
told the Negro workers that they
should organize and put back evicted
furniture.
THE EVICTION
BATTLES
The first furniture replaced was at
46i6 Calumet Avenue in the summer
of 1880. About twenty people took
part in the moving. The police, es-
tablishing a custom which has been
followed ever since, arrested Poin-
dexter as the leader. In two weeks
the family was evicted again and IT,
time the incident took on a mass
character. The Communists went
from house to house notifying neigh
bors of the eviction, and a crowd of
three hundred and fifty people gath
cred. Charles Banks and Poindexter
were arrested before the furniture
was put back, but Gene Sullivan and
Lambert, a white comrade, carried
on, speaking to the workers. After
the furniture had been replaced.
both Sullivan and Lambert were
arrested. Banks and Poindexter
were fined one dollar and costs,
while Sullivan was fined $75 and
costs and Lambert $3.50 and costs.
All of these comrades served their
sentences in the Bridewell.
In July, 1880, occurred the first
murder in the class struggle. Lee
Mason, formerly Negro Comnu-
mist candidate for Congress, was
slugged by the police during dem
onstration at 32nd Street and State
Street. His funeral, held from the
Party headquarters at 1886 South
State Street, was an impressive flu
neral. Three thousand workers par
ticipated in the parade to the 47th

INSTALLMENT 2
NATURALLY the old black ghetto
" was not large enough for this
immense new population. Real estate
dealers, both white and Negro,
reaped a harvest by turning white
neighborhoodS into black A house
or apartment building in a white
block would be bought and rented
to Negroes. Then the white bour-
geoisie would be frantic to sell their
properties at a fraction of their for
mer worth. The real estate dealers
would make a substantial commits
sion on the sale, and would earn a
handsome profit by renting the
property to Negroes at rents far in
excess of what the whites had paid.
Gradually the Negroes spread out
over most of the South Side, occupy
ing an area of about ten blocks to
the east of their former district and
from 18th to 61st Street.
WINNING
THE NEGROES
The white politicians were quick
to make use of this great Negro
mass. Previously, Chicago had
always voted Democrat. Now the
Bill Thompson faction in the Repub-
lican Party saw chance to build
up a machine based on the Negroes,
most of whom had never voted
before, and who believed that the
Republican Party was the friend of
the Negro because their white bosses
in the South had been Democrats.
Thompson therefore set out to
court the Negroes. He appeared at
their dances, their parades, their
bazaars, and mass meetings. He APP
pointed Negroes to public jobs, of
course in minor positions Except A.
j. Carey, Bishop of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, who
was appointed Commissioner of Civil
Service, indicted in 1929 for selling
jobs, and conveniently died in 19300
And he formed an alliance with the
Negro nlisleader, oscar De Priest,
and others of the same stripe. From
1916 to 1880, this crew dominated
the South Side, working hand in
glove with Binga the banker, Abbott
the editor of the Chicago Defender,
and the Baptist and Methodist min
listers. AS most of the Negroes were
tremendously devout, they supported
scores of churches housed in old
synagogues and buildings discarded
by white protestant congregations.
Some of their churches boosted the
largest protestant congregations and
Sunday Schools in the world.
THE Negro population of Chicago
has taken on an entirely different
character, much more industrial
than New York, for example.
In the spring of 1890, groups of
Negroes began to eongregate on
Sunday afternoons and weekday
evenings in Washington Park TO dis
cuss their problems. For many years
a group of white radicals" petty
politicians, opponents of queer reli-
gions and unclassified nuts had
maintained an open air forum in
Washington Park. known as the
Bug Club" During the war the
police, activated by the South Park
Board, had endeavored to close this
forum because of alleged unpatriotic
utterances, but Judge Harry Fisher
had granted a permanent injunction
against the Park Board, restraining
them from interfering with free
speech at the Bug Club.
BY 1880, the Negro population had
occupied the houses and apartment
buildings on three sides of Washing
