Tenants Help
Newton Fight
Custer Order
Many Sign Petition To
Halt Eviction of
Negro Leader

CHICAGO, Dec. "A petition
demanding that the landlord of 615
lakewood Boulevard stop eviction
proceedings against Herbert New
ton, latest victim of an attempt to
Gust Negroes from certain sections
of Chicago, has been signed by every
one of the six white families occu-
plying the house.
Newton, with his wife and baby,
moved into the apartment Of
Harriet Williams, white. The neigh
borhood is in the heart of the Negro
territory, but this particular build
ing, owned by DR.. Mitchell, white,
has always excluded Negroes. There
has recently been a concerted effort
by white owners and banks to force
Negroes out Of the neighborhood
and when the Newtons moved in,
DR.. Mitchell ordered Miss Williams
to put them out or surrender the
apartment. The white worker re-
jected the landlords ultimatum.
and The latter took the matter to
court and was sustained by Judge
Thomas A. Green in Municipal
Court. The landlord raised only one
question during the trial, and that
was NeWton'S color.
The white tenants state in their
petition:
I'VE consider this persecution of
Miss Williams not only as an in
justice to her and to the Newton
family, but also a challenge to our
rights to have what visitors and
sub-tenantS we wish"
An appeal from the chauviniSt
ruling of Judge Green is being
taken by Ben Myers, International
Labor Defense attorney. Protest
meetings are being held under the
auspices of the I. L. D. and the
League of Struggle for Negro
nights. Rent strikes, picketing of
the building and the landlords
office and other actions are planned,
along the lines Of the historic and
victorious fight in New York against
the attempts of the Emigrants In
dustrial Savings Bank to evict Cyril
Briggs, nationally known Negro
leader and member of the Daily
Worker staff, from it's building at
1925 East 9Th Street.
Newton is a prominent Commu-
mist leader, and was Commu-
mist candidate for Congress against
Oscar De Priest, refor1nist Negro
leader.

care of the interests of the steel
employers, enabling them to cut
the wages of the workers at any
time by simply driving down, tenn
porarily, the selling price of iron or
steel.
Under this plan, the company
submits statement every sixty
days to the union, showing the
sales for that period and the prices
obtained. On the basis of this, the
wage scale for that mill is either
raised CD or lowered for the next
two months. The union takes the
company's word for the prices. OF
course, if they are suspicious they
can examine the companies books.
Tighe stressed the fact that
theirs is a very flexible system"
for, as he expresses it, 1--WE must
consider the employers profits if
the men are to continue to work
at their jobs"
In 1882 the top leaders defended
the workers interests in their usual
thorough manner. The steel barons
demanded wage reduction of 80
per cent. The A. A. officials com
promised"-the workers received a

The tide of resentment of the
rank and file steel workers is rapidly

vides for Grievance Committee of
five, consisting of two of the en-
ployers, and an impartial represen-
tative agreed to by both. Disputes
are first to be settled between the
employer and the shop committee
representative. If this fails, it goes
to the union, and only after it fails
there does it come before this Griev-
ance Committee.
In the previous proposal, such a
committee was to be the agency for
settling all disputes without the
preliminary effort.
At mass meeting to hear the
report of the delegates to the recent
convention, called by the Broad Silk
Department Of the American Fed
Grafton of Silk Workers here, all the
rank and file resolutions which were
rejected at the convention were ap-
proved by an overwhelming vote
This includes the resolution for or
ganization of the Negro workers: to
condemn the U.T.W. leadership for
betraying the general strike, and to
reject the letter of William Green
ordering expulsion of Communists.
Green to Get Letter
In the latter case it was also de-
cided to send letter to Green on
their decision. The meeting like
wise voted to hold no election of Of
f1cers for two weeks. Eli Keller, the
defeated and discredited manager
of the union, is bound to be ousted
in that election.
The workers continually asked
how it came about that Keller got
into the convention since he was moi
elected from his own department
Keller only told the workers thai
since he was not elected by them
he is not obliged to report to them
The workers were very enthusi-
astic as the rank and file leadership
is now becoming consolidated tc
give guidance. The delegates re.
ported how Paterson, because it was
a militant local, was the target o.
the officials throughout the pro.
ceedings of the convention, anc
that a well-oiled machine domi.
mated the procedure.
