Order Against Red Nominees
Newton Fought Get Big Vote

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 26.-A de-
ternined fight against the chav-
whist decision by a local Judge that
Negro and white persons may not
occupy the same apartment house,
is being waged by the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights and the
international Labor Defense.
The I. L. D. has employed an at
torney to appeal the ruling in court.
At the same time, mass actions are
planned, such as rent strikes by
other tenants of the same landlord,
and boycotting of the bank acting
as trustee for the building.
The case involves Herbert New
ton, well-known Negro Communist
leader and two years ago Commu-
mist candidate opposing Oscar De
Priest for Congress, and is very sim
liar to the Briggs case in New York
OAuyy NAACAC IAlC 1lInlAlSld ALL 4llQIlo~
trial Savings Bank attempted to
evict from its East Sixth Street
building the family Of Cyril Briggs,
acknowledgement Negro leader and
member of the editorial staff Of the
Daily Worker.
Newton's family had sub-leased
an apartment at 615 lakewood
Boulevard from Harriet Williams, a
white worker. There has recently
been a concerted effort by white
landlords and business men to force
Negroes out Of this neighborhood,
and the landlord took the case to
court. Judge Green issued an order
on Newton to move out within five
days. This was later extended to
ten days as a result of protests from
white and Negro workers in the dis
trict.

Facts of Crisis Food Plentiful
Are Analysed In the .S.S.R.,
In Ira Notes Workers Find

Food is abundant in the Soviet
Union, according to a cablegram
received today by Soviet Russia
Today" publication of the Friends
of the Soviet Union. Forwarded by
the workers delegations of the
F.S,U., the report is based on their
thousand mile trip through the
Soviet Union, in which the food
situation was investigated in the
Ukraine and elsewhere. The dele
cation visited farms, spoke to peas
ants and discovered that the crops
were good, the farm equipment ex-
cellent, and food abundant.
The present report once again
disproVes the ISLANDERS about famine
in the Soviet Union and especially
in the Ukraine, that had been cir
culated by the Nazis, the Japanese
press, and by the White Guards
through the world and particularly
in the United States.
The delegation consisted of q
textile worker from Rhode Island,
a Pittsburgh Westinghouse worker,
a dirt farmer from South Dakota,
hosiery worker from Philadelphia,
a Boston seaman, and was headed
by Herbert Goldfrank, National
Secretary of the F.S.U. The dele
cation left for the Soviet Union on
October 20, 1894, and will report
on their experiences at a welcome
meeting on Wednesday, Dec. IL, at
Irving Plaza.
The full cablegram received to-
day reads: Kitchkas.

Miners Fight
For Revision
OF Agreement
Enlist Locals for Ending
''No-Strike'' Clauses
Forced by Lewis

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 90
District Five rank and file miners
are preparing q fight against the
Gripping, no-strike agreement with
which they were saddled by John
L. Lewis and Pat Pagan last April.
Two local unions in Pennsylvania,
Ellsworth and Mariana, have
drawn up a joint resolution en-
bodying changes in the existing
contract which will be demanded
at the next conferences in Febru-
airy.
The proposed changes have been
printed and are being distributed
to each local union in the district
for discussion and approval, as the
basis for organizing a concerted
drive to compel the UM.W.A. off,
Gals to incorporate them in the
next agreement.
The resolution calls for the strik-
ing out of Articles 48, SIS, So, So,
so, 81, So, and SO of the existing
Appalachian agreement. All of these
are articles illegalizing strikes or
stoppages, limiting the powers of
the mine committee, and providing
for the flning of miners who resort
to stoppage to force action by the
operator.
Other sections Of the resolution
provide for the specification Of price
for wet places, the right to test
scales on idle days, "house coal to
be furnished TO employees at the
cost of production" and the com
pany to furnish power and deto-
nator, fuses and squibs used in
blasting coal and slate in the
mines"
A change in Article 80 provides
that the checkoff shall be RENTED
to the local union treasurer, and
a change in Article 46 demands
that the right Of the operator ito
hire and discharge shall be with the
approval Of the mine committee"
Other provisos are for the 30
hour week, that all contracts Of the
union shall remain unsigned until
the majority Of local unions ap-
prove and authorize" the signature
Of the scale committee.
The final clause of the resolution
demands that wages shall be
raised above the contract when the
cost Of living is raised above the
prices at the time Of signing the
contract"
The joint measure includes the
remedying of almost all the Grip
ping clauses which the Appala-
chan agreement now contains,
but fails to cover one important
point. This is the provision for
compulsory arbitration and settle
ment Of disputes by an umpire
which is part of the present con-
tract, embodied in Articles So and
SO.
Without elimination of these ar
ticles the right to strike can not
be guaranteed to the miners.
With these exceptions the Joint
resolution declares for most of the
economic demands included in the
regular UM,W.A. rank and file
program.

Capitalists Unable To Solve
Crisis" is the conclusion of three
page factual article in the Deem
Der number of Economic Notes, just
issued by Labor Research Associa-
ton. Business activity indices indi-
cate that the drop in business be-
tween May and September was
greater in 1884 than in any year of
the crisis.
Tariff, housing, government
spending, dollar devaluation and
other major Roosevelt proposals are
analysed for their long-range worth
and the conclusion is reached that
U. s. capitalists cannot solve the
crisis because they cannot profit
ably create the necessary mass pur-
chasing power.
Decline of mass purchasing power
is further indicated in an article on
retail sales and food prices, the lat
ter being nearly 80 per cent higher
than in April, 1888, one month after
Roosevelt took office. The current
level of prices adds about $780,
100000 annually to the retail food
bill Of the masses, Economic Notes
points out.
The feature of this issue is an
article on Glass Lines in Farming, "
which gives for the first time basic
detailed data on the different types
of farmers and their incomes. The
story, prepared from census figures
analysed by Farm Research, shows
that nearly half of the farmers in
the country are poor farmers, whose
total value of products is less than
$1,000 year.
Economic Notes is on sale at local
Workers Book Stores, or directly
from Labor Research Association, 80
East Eleventh Street, New York
City. Five cents per copy, or SIS
cents a year by mail.

At the last meeting of the local

ly of trade unionists, to meet in
union halls.
He then demanded that the COM
nittee first obtain the support of
the Trades Councils and the State
Federation Of Labor before taking
initial steps in preparation for the
Congress.
Although Towns delayed the work
OF the committee somewhat, Mr..
Bowers of the Blacksmith's Union,
and Mr.. Strange Of the Dairymen's
Union, will present the Workers
Bill and the congress call to the
Birmingham Trades Council and
urge endorsement and election Of
