Chicago Workers Fight Plan to Keep c. P off Ticket

/ called upon to state their position
on the Congress, and should be
made to actively support all ar
rangements.
Congressman and city and state
officials, who, under pressure, have
been forced to endorse the Work
ers' Bill, will now be asked to
endorse the Congress call and give
support to the national and local
arrangements committees" Benja-
min said.
"All individuals who have in the
past given lip service to the work
ers' demands for real unemploy-
ment insurance will likewise be
asked to actively support the ar
rangements and the National Con-
gress," he added.
Appeal Made to Unions
Throughout the country" Ben
jamin continued, workers have ex-
pressed their demand for the Work.
ers' Bill by endorsements in their
trade unions. Hundreds of locals
of the American Federation of
Labor and scores Of Central Labor
Bodies and many State Federstions
have backed the Workers Bill.
Special efforts shrould be made to
have these and all trade unions
represented at the National Con-
gress and, of course, in local COM
mitteeS."
The official magazine of the Con-
greSs Arrangements Committee,
containing valuable information on
conditions that make unemploy-
ment and social insurance neceS-
sary, and the principles that must
be embodied in a genuine inSur-
ance system, can be obtained from
the National ONCE. Single copies
of the magazine sell for five cents;
bundles at $3.50 hundred. OFF,
cial collection lists and buttons are
being sent out to finance the ma
tional and local Congress arrange
ments and the Congress itself, and
to make it possible to send or
ganizers into the field, and pay
hall rentals, circulate leaflets, and
the other expenses involved in the
calling of the Congress.

Ford Tells of Rape
Frame-Up During War

Rape" The word spread through
the garrison as if by invisible wires.
1t was whispered to me by one of
my buddies. He told me that a
woman had complained of an at
tack by one Of the men in our
regiment.
Ours was the 325th Field Signal
Battalion. We were all Negroes ex-
cept, of course, the officers, and we
were stationed at Bar LIE Due, in
1918.
When the story of the supposed
attack spread through the outfit we
were all rather worried. In the first
place, we did not believe the story.
Our men all knew the danger Of
such a thing and that it would come
especially hard on us because we
were Negroes. The Negroes always
got the worst of everything and war
time was no exception despite the
sweet promises that were handed
out to us.
However, this woman, a camp
follower, claimed that one of our
men had attacked her and de-
manded to inspect our whole outfit
to identify the offender. Our Off
GERS consented to this plan and
picked day.
We knew that, if only to save
face" this woman would probably
pick on one of our men and have
him framed-up for the crime.
Everyone of us knew that he might
possibly be picked and resentment
ran high. Something had to be done
Almost spontaneously we started
rumors and rumblings to the effect
that if anyone dared to pick on one
of our men something terrible"
was going to happen. The officers
and everyone around us received
the implications of the whole affair.
Nothing definite was done by us.
There was really little more that we
could do. We were simply bluffing
the whole thing by assuming right
eous indignation.
1t worked. We probably put the
fear of Satan into the officers.
They lined us up like cattle. The

Call Conference
On Insurance
(ContinuSo from Pags y


through their trade unions, mas
and fraternal organizations, unem
ployed, veterans, farmers, women
Negro, professional and social work
ers groups.
Under pressure of a CONSTANT!
growing movement for the enact
ment of the Workers Bill, the city
officials in fifty cities of some five
million population have been forced
to endorse this demand of the
workers. In the A. F. of L. the
movement for its enactment has
received a tremendous impetus
2,40O local unions, six State Fed
erations Of Labor, five international
Unions, thirty Trades and Labor
Bodies have backed the bill.
The Communist Party, in the first
plank of its election platform, as
well as in the daily struggles of the
workers, carries forward this grow
ing demand for genuine unemploy-
ment insurance. On this the Com
munist Party election platform
states-"For the endorsement by the
state administrations and all state,
city and local officials of the Work
ers Unemployment and Social In
Surance Bill, and for their active
support to the campaign to have
the bill enacted into law by Con-
gress."
Local Groups to Be Set Up
Herbert Benjamin, executive sec
rotary of the Organizational Com
mittee for the Congress, yesterday
outlined the organizational steps to
be taken in preparation for the
National Congress.
Local groups of sponsors should
be set up at once in all cities and
principal centers. The call should
be brought to the first possible
meeting of each organization and a
vote taken to endorse and parti-
cipate in the National Congress and
local arrangements committees and
"If a local Congress Arrange
ments Committee already exists,
steps should be taken for participa-
ton in it through elected delegates,
and where such a committee does
not yet exist the initiative should
be taken to form one. Copies of the
call should be obtained from the
National Committee, 80 East Elev-
enth Street, New York, and cir
culated widely in all organiza-
tons"
Support Must Be Broadened
Mass meetings, debates, forums
symposiums should be called in
every locality, Benjamin added, with
the purpose of enlisting and broad
ening the present mass movement
for genuine unemployment insur-
ance.
Delegates should be elected in ali
organizations and immediate steps
taken to raise funds for financing
local and State conferences and fol
sending of representative delega'
lions to Washington when the Con-
gresS meets.
All public officials should b

men but unfortunately she could
not find the offender.
Now, it will always remain ques-
ton whether she had been politely
warned that it would be a very bad
idea to pick the villain" from the
lineup, or whether she really could
not find him. But to the men in
our outfit it was victory brought
about by organized potential pres
sure and the fact that we all stuck
together in spreading fear into the
hearts (if they possess them of
the officers.
The red herring of rape" must
be picked by men and women OF
the Negro race today, together with
the revolutionary white workers and
sympathizers. The Communist
Party has been the lone political
party, during these three years of
the frame-up of the Scoctsboro
boys, by its energetic fight and clear
understanding of Negro oppression,
to make this fight one for Negroe
liberation. Every Negro should vote
the Communist ticket in the cleo
tons, for the freedom of the Scots
boro boys.
