For Sharper Fight for
Day-to-Day Demands
of Negro Workers
BY HARRY HAYWOOD

There can be no doubt that the
Party has become a real factor in
the national liberation struggles of
the Negro masses. It's influence is
steadily increasing among the ever
larger sections of the Negro popula-
ton. 1t is clear, however, that the
successes of our Party in this work
Is not commensurate with the OBJ
jective possibilities presented in the
growing rehabilitation of the Negro
toilers. Our Party is still tagging
behind the rapidly rising upsurge
of the Negro masses.
What is the outstanding weakness
in our work among Negroes2 1t
consists in the fact that we still
lack solid organizational base
among the decisive sections of the
Negro workers in the most impor-
tant industries and factories. An
examination of our work will show
the following: that we have carried
through energetic campaigns of
mass agitation and exposure around
general issues of the Negro liberia
ton movement (Scottsboro, cam
paign against lynching). But these
have not been sufficiently utilized
to build up struggles around specific
and local issues and for the
strengthening of our organized base
among the Negro workers in the
shops. Directly from this follows the
weak recruitment of Negro workers
into the Party and revolutionary
trade unions, high turnover of
Party and trade union membership

5 Day Strike

Negro LongshOremen
Led to Victory
by M.W.LU.

BALTIMORE, Md. March IA -
The flve-day strike Of one hundred
and fifty Negro longshoremen was
settled yesterday with the demands
Of the strikers being met by the
bosses.
The men forced recognition OF the
Marine Workers Industrial Union,
q rotary system of hiring to be con-
trolled by the men themselves, and
a wage increase of 10 cents an hour,
with a promise of the full wage in
crease as demanded by the men
within two weeks. The men have
been working for 80 cents an hour
and struck for rs cents.

NEW YORK. -The Rank and File
Action Committee Of the I. L. A.,
through its secretary, Howard Farm

Baltimore longshoremen, under the
leadership Of the M. W. I. U. was
proof that the I. L. A. leaders are
playing the game OF the bosses. F"
These formerly unorganized Negro
workers have proven that a militant
policy is the burning need OF the
longShoremen. Our brothers in San
Francisco are voting on strike ac-

longshoremen, both organized and
unorganized, to take supporting &C

Today we can strike blow for the

bringing forth proletarian Negro
cadres in our work.
Must Overcome Sporadic Nature
of Work
At the same time, this weakness
in our work also accounts, to GER
tain extent. for the sporadic nature
of our campaigns around Scots
boro and the issue of lynching.
These campaigns have not been
sufficiently connected up with local
issues, with the struggle for the
day to-day needs of Negroes in
shops, factories and in the neigh
borhoods. This weakness in our
work in a period of growing Fas-
cism and spread of white chauvin-
ist influences among the masses Of
white workers, in period of in
creased activities of Negro reform
lists and petty bourgeois nationalist
among Negroes, presents serious
danger If not speedily overcome.
