THE League of Struggle for Ne

up a city ordinance to enforce the
right of Negroes to work on all Jobs

are setting out on a campaign to

it will be presented to the City

a real lesson for the Negro people

THE response of the workers to
the building of mass L. S. N. r.

have already been set up. The
workers are also enthusiastic about
building the Negro Liberator. The

hold only the worst jobs regardless
Of their individual ability.
The figures on Negro unempIoy-
ment, Carreathers said, furnish an
indication Of the extent to which
labor in the black skin, in the
Pittsburgh district is doubIy op-
pressed. The 1880 census showed
per cent of Pittsburgh's popuIa-
ton to be Negroes, yet in 1884
they represent 1898 per cent of
the city's unemployed, and on the
hill no less than 80 per cent Of
unemployed workers are Negroes.
In addition to the demands for
abolition of the foregoing discrimi-
natory practices. and the general
six-point Communist Party program,
Carreathers' is running on a platform
calling for fight against evictions
and for the right Of unemployed to
use gas, light, and water; and for
the eradication of slum conditions
along Butler St, and in the Scotch
Bottom and Glenwood sections.
He will outline his program in
detail at the Pythian Temple meet

Communist candidates will also

F. of L. has its source in the top
leaders of the A. F. of 1.-the
Greens, VOLS, Lewises. These men
serve the ruling-class. The Negro
misleaders treacherously represent
the jim-crow policy of the A. F. of
L. as stemming from the rank and
file. By this means they try to
keep the Negro workers from taking
their places side by side with the
white workers in the labor move
ment.
well, in Chicago the American
Consolidated Trades Council. which
is an organization of Negro plumb
ers, mechanics and building trades
workers, started a fight for admis-
sion Of Negro workers in these
trades into the A. F. of L. The
A. F. Of L, officials gave them the
run-around, so the Consolidated
finally established itself as a bona
fide union and got charter from
the state. They are now taking in
white workers also. The Trades
Council has been conducting a fight
for the right of Negro workers to
work on all jobs in these trades,
particularly public works projects.
When the Wendell Phillips High
School was built in Chicago, right
in the heart of the Negro neighbor-
hood, no Negroes were taken on.
The Council organized actions
around this, with the support of
the Trade Union Unity League and
the League of Struggle for Negro
Rights. They threw picket line
around the school and had dem
onstration. They demanded shorter
hours for the white workers on the
job, with no cut in pay, and the

BUTTE. Mont, June 10 FP)-
A general strike on behalf of the
5000 miners, engineers and allied
crafts who have been striking in
Butte since May 8 seems imminent
as result of the decision of del

Before the strike began, many

There is the discrimination

their heads off to keep them from
joining with the white workers.
Can the militant left-wing organ
izations win the Negro masses in
spite of this? It is up to us. We've
got to formulate clearly our de-
mands for Negroes in every struggle.
We must draw Negro workers on to
the strike committees and into
leading positions. At the same time
the left-wing unions, all groups of
militant workers, must show their
faces in the fight for the rights of

TONIGHT

A boxing card that has lost
none of it's sparkle despite a re-
vision made necessary due to last
minute developments tonight will
be offered at Portner arena.
Sharing the spotlight with
Roxie Allen and Ken Overlin
over an eight-round distance will
be Stumpy Jacobs and Charley

Originally slated against Bal
timore Bobby Burns, Jacobs was
relieved of this obligation when
the Oriole battler was promised
a later date.
Promised Later Date
Heretofore showing as feath'
erweight, Won Reedon will con-
cede Jacobs, a legitimate light
weight, but three pounds tonight.
Furthermore the Southerner will
boast an advantage both in height
and reach and otherwise will
shape up as Stumpy's physical
equal, if not superior.
May Be Lightweight
Apparently weakened previously
due to his difficulty in making 1875
pounds, Won Reedon may remain
a lightweight in the event he
scores favorably tonight.

Griff has not answered this

not going to get any more

figure.

Indeed, Jack Faber, mentor to
Maryland's Terrapins, yesterday
gathered together some 80 grid

practice. If the wind continues
to blow throughout today and to-
night c. U. probably will take the
field this week, either Thursday
or Friday. Georgetown is sched-
uled to start spring work on
Thursday, the day after Coach
Jack Hegarty arrives in town.
George Washington probably will
get going this week or as soon as
dry footing is available.

Maryland students, annually Gre

Jack Faber's second squad this

far superior to the 1888 combina-

Players Of Tomorrow
Ever looking to the future,
Diegel realizes that these young
sters will be the players Of to-
morrow and they can never start
too early to learn the game.
Some Of the local pros have
sponsored free classes for women
but the children's one is new
and novel idea. Certain to meet
approval of the members, it will
also endear the pro to the juve-
niles, and pay dividends later.
Diegel Is also opposed to any
standard method of teaching, such
as is favored by the national
P. G. A. He holds that each in
dividual requires a different
system.
Ranks Jones Best
Diegel also ranks Bobby Jones
as the greatest golfer he has seen
in action. In order, he next rates
Walter Hagen, Harry Vardon,
