The Negroes are very much

fight for the workers. They do
fight alone for the Negro workers,

the unemployed women Of CoiuInI
Ohio.
We are going to let the boss c.
know in Columbus, Ohio, that {
cannot treat the workers so. II
were two bailiffs sent out, one q
gro and one a white, TO take az
the furniture from a poor worker &
when they refused to move, say
they wanted a chance to pay out,
Of the bailiffs took q 14-year old cl
and put him against the bannis
and pulled a gun and he was stop
or else he would have done it ]
he had a chance and it was the
gro bailiff who did it.
Negroes in Forefront Of Fight
I want to say that we Negroes
in the forefront In the Unemple,
Councils. We are going to see e.
that our Negroes do not treat
other Negroes so bad. We are go
to stop them from letting the bail
take the furniture out as one did.
have already forced them to carry
furniture back in the house after t
ing it out.
The week before last they brou
out poor widow woman's hot st
with the Goals still In it, and
workers refused TO put their ha.
on it, but forced the men who +
it out to set it back. and I Want
say we Negro people in Colum
mean to stop our Negroes from /
ting out other Negroes. After
bailiff set them out. let them b
the job by themselves Of putting
stuff back. Not only have we whip
those who have set the furniture {
but We have even whipped the lal
lord.
do not approve Of workers liv
in a home-owners home if they ,
pay rent, not to, but II they do
pay it and cannot, let the small no
owners organize into the Unemplo,
Councils and we viii demand n
him better conditions. Prplont
applause).
The Robber MA.
SO We have decided in Columbu.
we cannot get the small home -ov
ers to see the light and organize "
us, then we are going 10 force th
to keep tenants IN the house wi
out rent because the poor unemplo,
cannot live in the street. 1t is !
their fault that they have no job q
are unable TO pay.
But in the city Of Columbus ma
link that Roosevelt is one OF /
9reatest men in history. They ey
tel you what the N.R.A. is. IN
opinion It is the National Robbt
Association. That's all Il is, becai
everything they put that darn b
buzzard on has risen in price.
see that it is the National Robbi
Association because they founded
TO rob the poor working class cut
every penny they can get.
Remember, workers, that 7 am |
ing to fight in this organization {
