Draav In the White
Workers!

ONE outstanding lesson has been gained
" in recent experiences in the fight
against jim-crow eviction orders against
Negro workers living in buildings with
white workers. That lesson is that the
fight against racial segregation cannot be
effectively carried on, cannot be won with
out forging the unity of Negro and white
in the struggle.
This fact arises now in connection with
the struggle against the order ewcting IA Negro
families at 1636-4O University Ave, Bronx, solely
in move to segregate these Negroes.
Racial segregation is one of the most effective
means by which the ruling class splits the ranks of
the working class, thereby hamperng effective
united struggle Of the toiling masses against their
worsening conditions.
In evicting Negro workers from houses where
white workers live. if the white workers are not
drawn into the struggle to prevent the eviction,
the result is that the landlords are able to spread
their chauvinist poison
There valuable experiences gained in
the fight against the growing number of such i'm
crow evictons In New York City, precisely because
Negro and white workers we're unitcdy rallied for
the fight, the eviction of Comrade Briggs by the
Erngrant Industrial Savings Bank for the purpose
Of establishing racial segregation at its 9Th St.
building was effectively defeated.
The struggle was successful because most of the
white tenants in the building we're modified for
action including a rent strike, against the jim
crow policy of the bank
In the Byrnes case in Brooklyn. where little
effort was made to rally the white tenants, the
landlords able to carry through their vicious
discrimination eviction.
NOW in the present important fight the League
of Struggles for Negro Rights, and the Bronx
Section of the International Labor Defense are
organizing the IA Negro families to resist the jim
crow eviction order.
So far, however, the weakest link in the fight
is the fact that one Of the white tenants in the
two buildings have been drawn into the House
Committee. These tenants, nevertheless, are re-
ported to be sympathetic to the struggle against
the segregation policy of the property owners.
This is weakness which must be overcomel
The lesson is crystal clear Organize the white
tenants in the buildings into the House Committee

gressive fight against segregation and jim-crowism,

A Ring of Silence

A RING of silence. That is what the coal
"A and iron operators of Alabama are
placing around the strike area at Birming-
ham.
First they tried to cut off the Daily
Worker from the use of the Western
Union telegraph offices.
Now the police and gangster hirelings
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company have
banished John Howard lawson noted playwright
and Daily Worker correspondent in Birmingham
from the strike
ring of silence around Birmingham. And be-
hind this sinister silence will rage terrorism slug
ging kidnapping, thuggery and murder. That is
what the Tennessee Coal and Iron, subsidiary of
the j. P. Morgan Steel Trust wants.
This is challenge to every worker, every toilng
farmer, who himself is bled by these Wall Street
Morgan plumber monopolies. 1t is a brutal defiance
spat into the faces of the whole American people,
the toilers, the ntellectuals, all who respect the
rights of the toiing masses to struggle against the
yoke of starvation and exploitation.
Here it is a question of the defence of eIe-
mentary civil rights against the intolerable tyranny
and ruthIessneSs of capitalist monopoly. mo-
nopoy that harshly proclaims that it has the right
of life and DEATH the right of sole arbiter of the
lives Of its wage slaves.
Against this monstrous brutality, it is i'm
possible that any honest person, any hater of
oppression in any form, be silent passive.

Empty Promises

WITH Congress nearing the close of its
w session, and the net total result for
the working class so clearly increased
starvation, President Roosevelt, master
of the most putrid demagogy, resorts to
one of his orgies of empty promises.
In Washington it is forecast that
within ten DAYS Roosevelt will deliver message
to Congress leading with points close to the heart
of the entire working class. But at the same time,
the message will specifically indicate, Not to be
opened" In other words, Roosevelt is again merely
talking about certain measures that the workers
through mass struggles have been demanding, and
will continue to fight for regardless Of whatever
Roosevelt promises or does
The forthcoming Roosevelt message will talk
about unemployment, old age and sickness insu-
ance 1t will contain weasel words about raising
the coolie minnums in the MIRA. codes that Roose-
welt himself signed and enforced against the
workers.
Then, finally it will hold up the promise Of
new Labor Board, since the old strikebreakng in
strument run by Senator Wagner has so clearly
been rejected by the working class, through its
militant strikes
Roosevelt specifically will provide that Congress
is not to pass these measures at the present session
Such trickery should not fool the workers. Roose-
welt promised unemployment insurance during his
election campaigns. When it came to action, he
gave the workers the NR.A. with its starvation
wages; he provided the C.WA, only to snatch it
ava yagain in order to save profits for the bosses
He found billions for the big trusts for war prep
arations but not one cent for unemployment in
surance. Now again, with Congressional elections
coming to provide a speaking point for his lick
spittle supporters he again will repeat the dena-
gogtc phrases about social insurance
DOCSEVELTS aim, mainly, is to stem the rising,
militant strike struggles; the growing action by
the workers to win for themselves increased wages,
against the MIRA. as shown by the Alabama coal
and ore strike; and by the brilliant and militant
longshoremans strike. He wants to hold back the
rising struggle behind H. r. 1898 for real unem-
ployInent insurance He no longer totally evade
the issue but meets it in his usual Shiny, slippery
wa.
Rooseyelt's message bringing gifts" to the work
ers should be locked upon with the greatest sus-
pcion by all workers. 1t comes from the hands of
the creator Of the MIRA, which has lowered the
standard Of living Of the whole working class, and
increased the profits of the bosses. The NRA,
We must remember, was decked out with even more
lurld promises
Against Roosevelts TRADE of demagogy, with its
promise for the future we must rally the working
class into action behind the program of strug-
gle fer its day to day demands for higher wages
for unemployment insurance CHR. 1899, against the
every fascist move of the Roosevelt government.

On Financial Problems

THE raising of finances by the revolu-
tionary movement is by no means an
unimportant task. Without funds the major
political work of the movement suffers.
This is particularly true at the present
moment. The vast wave of strikes, the
militant struggle on all fronts, confronts
the Communist Party with the task of broadening
and intenSifying all its propaganda and organiza-
tional work. All this increases the need for funds
The need for greater financial resources is now
urgent in every section and district

Win the Youth

THERE are millions of young workers
who have never known what it is to
have a job. There are millions more in
the factories, who feel the double lash of
exploitation and discrimination.
Most of these young workers have for
gotten, if they ever knew, the receptions
and the horrors Of the last mperialist wa.
The crisis hits them cruelty They are shut off
the relief lists. They are herded into CCC. camps.
They are bounded by police all over the country
as they tramp the highways and farmlands looking
for work
And it is they particularly that Fascism tries
hardest to win for its organizations and gangs.
1t is the youth who are being exposed to the
poison Of jngoism. as part of the Roosevelt prep
arations for impsrialist 1t is the youth whom
the Bosses are trying to use as strikebreakers.
But the young workers are part of the army
that is fighting for the overthrow of capitalism
To ignore them, to neglect revolutionary work
among them, is to do the most serious damage
to the whole working class
The youth militant fighters. They are
among the most fearless fighters against Fascism
ard exploitation
1t is not an accident that one of the leading
reports of the Central Committee delivered to the
Eighth Party Convention was precisely on the need
for a complete overhauling Of the Perty,s work
among the youth. Our whole fight against the
Roosevelt mperialist drive will be futile with
out decisive work among the youth There must
be an end of the most serious neglect of this vital
phase of Party work.

be a day for demonstrations of young workers all

NEW YORK. - Badly wourfied
about the face, chained hand and
foot in a pitch black cell, Comrade
Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the Ger
man Communist Party, bravely
faces his torturers, an article in the
latest issue of the illegal Commu-
mist Party organ "Rote Fahne" just
arrived here declares.
"Comrade Ernst Thaelnlann, the
leader of the German proletariat,
was taken from Moabit prison to
Columbia House, Goering's notorious
torture chamber, Immediately after
the assassination of his closest
friend, John Scheer, and the lat
ter's three comrades" declares the
illegal official organ of the Com
munist Party of Germany.
"Thaelmann was supposed to tes-
tify regarding the fake evidence
given by the police spy, Kattner,
especially regarding his connections
with the Communist International.
The leader of the German prole-
tariat refused to give any testimony
to Nazi storm troopers.

was murdered, and the following

Thaelmann in the most horrible
fashion At Goering's and Hitler's
orders they beat him with whips,
rubber clubs, iron bars, end heavy
buckles. The torture lasted for
days,

Thaelmann's face to disappear.
Then they returned him to Moabit
prison. The secret police sent a
stool-pigeon, who posed as SYM
pathetic comrade, into his cell, and
when this failed, Thaelmann was
tortured again. Thaeimann has
been in solitary confinement, ever
since, chained hand and foot in a
pitch black cell. Only two secret
police officials are allowed to see
him.

100 College Heads
Tell How to Screen
War by Peace Talk
Letter to President Is
Palned Off as Being
against War;
By Burck

OBERLIN, Ohio, May What
is being palmed off in the press as
letter AGAINST war" sgned by 100
college presidents and addressed to
President Roosevelt, is in reality
advice to the Wall Street govern
ment how to pursue its war aims,
taking into account the rapidly
growing anti-war sentiment among
students.
While calling for an ''embrago"
on arms to belligerent countries, the
letter suggests that in the event of
war the President of the United
States be given absolute fascist
power in order to carry through the
war successfully for American i'm
perielism. The same section of the
letter also suggests that 6 per cent
be the maximum fixed for profits
on war supplies. The object of this,
of course, would be to make war
cheaper for the American govern
ment, and the capitalist class as a
whole.
The concluding portion of the let
ter, which contains the main reason
for writing it, opens the way to
full support of any iinperialist war
by these 100 college presidents, pro-
vided the Roosevelt government
covers its war preparations with
sufficient pacifst, demagogic man
euvers.
This portion of the letter reads:
We desire TO express our belief
that unless our government has
made complete use of every avail
able agency for peace and taken
every possible step to prevent the
coming of war, it has no moral
right to ask of the youth of
America the sacrifice in war of
themselves, their opportunities for
the future and the ccmpanionship
of the men and women of their
generation whom they hold dear,
or to subject them and their chill
dren to a renewal of the postwar
conditions which have so impoer-
ished and degraded the only life
they have known.
1t is our judgment that support
and aid in the conduct of a war
cannot rightly be asked unless
every effort possible to human in
genuity has been made to prevent
such war.
