Harry Haywood, NATL
Secretary, Greeted
At Convention

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 19.-Plans
for a militant campaign for the
rights of Negro people in st. Louis,
laid down at the city-wide con-
ference for Negro rights called by
the League of Struggle for Negro
rights and attended by 43 delegates
from 81 local organizations and 205
additional interested individuals,
Tuesday, June IL, are being carried
through here.
Harry Haywood, National Secre-
tary of the L. S. N. r., was the main
speaker at the conference. After
presenting a brief analysis of the
problems of Negro liberation in this
country, and outlining the national
program of the L. S. N. r., he
pointed out the especially strategic
position of st. Louis, the Gateway
to the South" in the national
struggle for the emancipation of the
Negro people. He also exposed the
role of Negro reformists and reform
ist organizations in st. Louis, par
ticularly the Pacific Movement of
the Eastern World"
Just few days before the con-
vention, delegates pointed out, there
took place right in st. Louis, the
brutal lynching of an unemployed
Negro worker, Joseph Martin. Mar
tin, returning to his river front
shack one evening with paper
sack full of stale bread-crusts, which
he had laboriously collected during
the day, was spied by two police and
commanded to halt. Because he was
slow in obeying, the two policemen
promptly shot him to death. Even
the official report Of the police ad-
mits this unprovoked murder of an
innocent worker.

for Increased
Relief

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June 10
The State Committee of the I'm
employment Council has issued q
draft call to local, city and state
unemployed organizations for q
downstate conference on unemploy-
ment insurance and relief to be
held on July 8. A large number
Of A. F. of L. locals and local unions
of the Progressive Miners Of America
have endorsed the call.
The three point proposed pro-
gram for the conference calls for:
u A mass campaign to be initiated
for the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill; D A mass struggle
for an increased, unified relief
budget in all counties. The relief
in Chicago, Peoria and Springfield
Is double the amount per family in

MARION, Ill.-The County Com
mittee Of the Unemployed of VIII
hanson County, an unafhnated
group here, refused to affiliate with
t he Socialist-controlled Illinois
Workers Alliance, at their meeting
June IL, attended by delegates from
six branches and about 300 work
ers.
Loren Norman, former Lewis too
in the UM.W.A., and editor of the
Illinois Miner, and recent convert
to the American Workers Party, was
one of the principal supporters OF
the Socialist-controued IVA. Nor
man asked the workers to affiliate
with the I. w. A. because ut waA
more liberal and not so radical"
E. Jones, state secretary of the
Unemployment Councils, explained
to the workers the programmatiC
difference between the IVA. ano
the Unemployment Councils, point
ing out how the workers have cleo
ted members of the Communist
Party to the leadership of the
Councils because they have shown
in the struggles that they alone
fight in the interests Of the work
ing class.
The workers voted unanimously
to reject afflliation with the IVA
and invited representatives Of the
Unemployment Councils to place the
program of the Councils before the
locals of the Unemployed of Will
Hanson County for the purpose Of
discussing af1liation to the Nationa,
Unemployment Councils.

BY a Worker Correspondent

ny a WORKER Correspondent

winning relief for hundreds of work

Last week at a sheriff sale, three
Negro workers were beaten and
jailed. They were told by the COPS
to stay away from the Councils.
This is done in an attempt to break
the unity of Negro and white work
ers in their fight for relief.
Two more workers were arrested
