KANSAS CITY, No, June
I1.-Police illegally raided the
Kansas City Workers Center
in a frantic attempt to break
up the rising struggles of the
unemployed led by the Com.
munist Party. This follows the ar
rest and third degreeing Of COM
rade Berry, Section Organizer Of
the Party, who led the c. W. A.
strike here.
Fifteen cops and federal dicks in
vaded the Center without warrants
several days ago, broke up a meet

been called to demand the continu~

six revolutionary workers. The POI

including leaflets advertising the
meeting for Harry Haywood. and
smashed and destroyed everything,
including picture Of Stain and
glass banner and sickle.
The six workers were brutally
handled in police headquarters, held
incommunicsdo for a hours. and
then released. Scott, a worker who
had been viciously attacked by the
cops several weeks before, was
kicked in his lame leg and punched
in the stomach.
Harry Haywood, General Secre-
tary of the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights, spoke to $50 Negro
and white workers Thursday on the
need for combating the growing
terror against the Kansas City
workers and the attempt to drive
the local Communist Party into
illegality. THE ruling class is rails
ing the question of the red scare"
Haywood said. This is being used
as a cloak behind which to crush
the struggles Of the Negro and
white toilers against starvation. -
He stressed the necessity of build
ing up a strong L. s. N. r. in KAN
sas City and the development Of
the circulation of the Liberator az

conditions.
A resolution was passed at the

fight for free speech, the right to

Jingoism and White
Chauvinism Is
Especially Rife

A question was asked as follows:
Ito be answered true or false)-
1.-The majority of Negroes should
be treated like well-trained apes p
g. The overwhelming majority OF
the youth in America today are
native born. Thus the capitalists
see in them more fertile field
for anti-foreign agitation than
among the adult workers, many OF
whom are foreign-born. 1t has
happened, more than once. that a
backward young worker, under the
influence Of such propaganda,
should remark:
There would be Jobs for us all
If they sent all the foreigners back
to where they came FROM even
though his own father was born
in foreign country. Editorials in
the Saturday Evening Post"
Liberty Country Gentleman"
and other widely read journals have
pointed out continually that the
deportation Of all aliens (of whom
there are seven million nom
citizens) would be a rapid solution
of the crisis.
4. In the Pacific coast states, es-
pecially, counter race theories
against Japan flourish, rejecting the
imperialist antagonisnls against
Japan in the Pacific. The theories
which have widely existed there for
a long time are utilized in the
struggle of the capitalists and re-
dictionary forces american Legion
against the masses. These nation
alist views have served to cover
over the attacks upon the striking
agricultural workers Of Imperial
Valley. many Of whom are Mexicans
and Filipinos.

Grand Machine Stirs Up Hatred
In their Dual UniOnism
Bissett, Laughlin, Edrinton and
company are busy attending
brotherhood meetings to whitewash
johnson by stirring up sympathy
for this loyal leader who is being
crucified," and also to advise the
members of the B. of L. E. to en-
deavor to get more members by
stealing them from the B. of L. F
and E. The purpose of having these
grand officers at the meetings is
also to have them monopolize most
Of the time talking insurance, SO
that honest rank and filters cannot
talk unionism and have time to ex-
pose the corrupt leadership.
The Journel reports fail to state
that rank and file members speak
in opposition to the dual-unionism-
fight, and advocate building up the
organizations by united front action
on the issues that affect the men
by forgetting the hymn of hate
campaigning, and by taking the
type of labor action that the work
ers are looking for. The neglect to
report these facts clearly shows
that many of the local officials are
as reactionsry as the top-leadershir
and as totally lacking in their con-
ception of labor unionism as the
grand officers have shown them
selves to be.

slaShed 3 white woman with a

of Prevent a Second Scottsboro
Case In Detroit" the international

Rochester Rank and File
Take OrganizatiOnal Steps

ROCHESTER,, N. Y.-Organiza-
tionsl steps for continuing the fight
sgainst the forced labor work re-
lief system were planned Monday
at a special meeting of the newly
elected executive committee of the
Rank and File Relief Workers Or
ganization, following the decision of
the membership Friday to end the
nine week general strike.
Although the demands of the
Rank and File for return to G. w. A.
conditions we're defeated, the or
gaflization gained hundreds of mem
bers through its militant strike
leadership and its exposure of the
Central Committee" which started
the strike as means of putting
across the budget.
Expose Takers
Exposed during the strike wave
we're James Madigan, former strike
chairman and A. F. of L. union
leader, who deserted when defeated
in his opposition to mass picketing
and Fred Struble, leader of last
years strike of 5000 relief workers.
struble was expelled Friday when
his strike breaking tactics were
made known to the workers.
Affiliation to the National I'm
employed Councils, establishment
of neighborhoed locals, and the
calling of Western New York
conference on relief were among
the proposals endorsed by the or
ganigation.
The trial of Leonard Costa, I'm
employment Concil organizer and
strike leader, comes up before q
jury on Thursday morning. Charges
against others involved in picketing
have been dismissed. The Interna-
tional Labor Defense, successful in
defending many of the workers ar
rested during the struggle, is con-
Quoting a citywide campaign to re-
gain the use of Washington Square
for meetings.
