at this meeting, but on Saturday

members took the floor and exposed
the A. F. of L. leaders and the fake

signed. They then left for the
meeting of the National Textile
Workers Union where Anna Burlak,

spoke.
At this meeting fifteen workers
we're elected to present the above
demands to the company At first
the officials tried to explain that
there is no work, and they are hav-
ing hard time keeping all the
workers at work, but when the COM
mittee exposed this soft talk and
proved that the company is making
enough profit, the officials promised
to run only two shifts, instead Of
four or five. The Committee fur
ther demanded the recognition of
their department and shop commit
tees, which was granted,
Many workers who were outside
the office, waiting for the report of
the Committee, promised to rally
more members into the union, after
hearing the report. This proved to
the workers, especially in Mill B,
that through organization we can
accomplish much. The Lodi work
ers have begun to understand the

NEW ORLEANS, May Sven
teach you 'niggers' to attend Com
munist meetings" THIS was a New
Orleans policeman speaking as he
arrested four Negro Youths as they
we're leaving a lecture on Commu-
nism by Clarence Hathaway.
More than $50 Negroes we're
among the 500 workers and SYM
pathizers who came to hear the first
public presentation of Communism
in this Southern city. Nearly two
years ago Comrade Hathaway came
to New Orleans to fill an engage
ment for William z. Foster. The
police decided no Communist could
speak He was arrested, taken to
Jail and told to leave town. The
meeting was broken up.
Now, the New Orleans Public
Forum invites Hathaway to speak
on the program of the Party and its
solution for the present crisis. For
an hour and 30 minutes Hathaway
spoke, dissecting the present CAPT
talist system and explaining the
Communist program for a remedy.
To-day. we see two world sys-
TENS; capitalism, which rules in the
most of the world, Under capital
ism, production has declined. mil
lions are unemployed and starving.
Capitalism has proved failure"
Then speaking of the Soviet Union.
he said Here we can see that
Communism is not a utopia, but
reality. 1t is the only system today
that is functioning adequately Com
munism is success.
Many look to Professor Tugwel
and the Rraintrusters as the ones
who will find the solution. Some
socialists and liberals even think
they are smuggling in Socialism or
Communism. They are wrong. 1t
Is Fascism, the iron rule of finance
capital, the rule of Wall Street and
the biggest, most influential money
interests that they will smuggle in.
1t will be the same kind of dicta-
torship that is behind Hitler today
The New Deal is moving towards
Fascisn. 1t is not Fascisn, but by
stimulating monopoly, the biggest
corporations squeezing out the
smaller business men, and placing
the control of the nations business
under the control Of Wall Street, it
paves the way for Fascism.
Hoover gave the workers a direct
wage cut. Roosevelt, while pretend
ing to RAE wages, has in reality
caused a great reduction in the ac-
tual wages. According to their own
statistics, wages have been raised
7.5ec, while the cost of living has
gone up 23Ge. Here in the South
the difference is much greater.

ries of racial inequality. We believe

Negro, White Workers in Nem Orleans Meet
Cheer c. A. Hatha'Oay's Call for Negro Rights

Communist Party, Comrade Hatha-
way explained that the Socialists
believed in a gradual change, in re-
lying upon the present machinery
of democracy to bring about the
change peacefully. I'VE Comnu-
nists don't believe the capitalists
will give up so easily. Morgan and
Rockefeller have built up their
wealth by bloodsneo, terror and
robbery, and they will use these
same methods to maintain their
rule. History gives us no incident
of such great changes coming about
peacefully. When in 1774 the
American colonies declared theii
independence, did Great Britain
give it to them? No, she sent an
army against the colonies, and a
seven years war was fought to
establish their independence.
Again, in 1860, the majority of
voters in America decided in favor
of the industrialists of the North,
they signified by their vote that
slavery must be abolished. But did
the Southern landlords give up their
slaves? No. It took four years of
bloody war to establish the rule of
the Northern capitalist. And when
the Communists shall have con-
WINGED the majority of workers that
they should set up a Soviet gov
eminent of workers and farmers to
safeguard their interests we do not
expect the capitalists to surrender
with open arms. No, they will use
their last guns to maintain their
dictatorship, their rule of terror
The Communist Party is now or
ganizing the workers to prepare
them to maintain their new system
by force" Again there was an out
burst of enthusiastic applause.
After the lecture, there was a
period of 30 minutes devoted to
questions. What about free speech,
do you believe in that?" we Com
approach all such ques-
tons from a class viewpoint. We
don't believe in free speech in the
a distract. We believe in unlimited
freedom of expression for the work
ers, but for the capitalists and old
who try to disrupt the
workers government, they feel the
iron fist of the workers dictator
ship Then: What about the
workers right to strike in the Sc
Wet Union?" Ha haway explained
that in the Soviet Union the work
erS we're in control, that all the ma
chinery of production and distribu-
ton were in the hands of the
workers, and naturally workers
would not desire to strike against
