NEW YORK, March 10.-Bonds

and small losses and gains were about
evenly divided at the end of the brief
session.
Transfers totaled $8,333,0O0, par
value. compared with $7,5O3 900 last
Saturday, and the average for 60 do
mestic corporate issues was unchanged
at 846. On the week this average
was up three-tenths of a point.
Both traders and investors ex-
hibited considerable caution as the
business week closed At the same
time there was no disposition to re-
duce prices Of offerings unduly and
buyers were evidently not too anxious
to raise their bids
Business and industrial improve
ment maintained the recent momen-

ever, were being watched closely for
clues as to future market trends.
There were scattered strong spots
in the list, as well as few soft ones.

While some United States Treasury

Organization
OF Substitute
Teachers Needed
by a Worker Correspondent

ny a worker correspondent
BRONX, N. Y.-There is large
group of toilers who are as yet I'M
organized. I refer to those "lowly''
men and women, the teachers-in-
training or substitutes.
These subs" are assigned to a
definite school where they report
each day in hope that they may get
a days work, ST. Usually they are
asked favor" by the principal OF
the school, to aid in some clerical
work or run an errand. For this,
there is no payment. To refuse
means disapproval in the eyes OF
the principal who is the Almighty.
A young lady told me of the con-
ditions in her school, P. S. So Man
haitian. During all of last month
she "subbed" a half day for SO, yet
she comes in every morning and
does not leave until late afternoon.
The assistant principal happens to
know she is writing book and she
has been asked to laid" him in the
clerical work.
Here is a field for the Teachers
Opposition Group. The time to be-
gin to organize our teachers is when
they are young and still open to
realization of what unity and revo-
lutionary leadership means to them.
Why not develop an organization of
such type?

PHILADELPHIA. Pa.-The man.
ager Of the French Tavern, 18th and
Walnut streets, invented another
trick in order to cut the workers Csc.
day more. Up to this time the
workers were allowed to eat only
once during the day, just little
slop and cup of coffee, for which
they were charged Csc. Now they
are notified that from now on they
will have tc eat once more before
they go home at night, when the
place closes, for which they will be
charged Csc more; or SOC. 9 day.
All of the workers, cooks, wait
resses and dishwashers, are against
this rule, for they prefer to eat in
their homes or outside, but they are
afraid they might lose their jobs.
To some of the workers who told
the manager they will not eat a
second meal there at night he
answered, Eat or not, you will have
to pay SOC. day"
Workers must organize into the
Food Workers Industrial Union to
fight for better conditions.

PARTY LIFE
Our Line on Negro Question
Must Be Raised Very Firmly
Must Do ArOay With Liberal Approach To
Negro Question

to tell me that we are going to sit
together with the 'niggers'?" An
other worker had a more liberal
approach towards this question and
stated that 'it is not necessary to
sit together with the colored, they
can have their meeting separately,
ETC."
We again explained all this in
more details and took a firm stand
and explained that we do not or
ganize workers to separate them,
but to unite them. At the same
time the chairman who was not al
together sober tried to disrupt the
meeting by having a fist" fight
with the speaker. The reaction of
the workers was very surprising.
Not only was the chairman called
to order by the workers, but was
forced to resign.
At the following meeting we had
IA Negro workers present at the
union meeting, all of them joined
the union. The Characteristic fea.
lures of this meeting were that
some of the Negro haters nominated
Negro workers to the Executive
Board and some white workers
nominated Negro workers. That
meeting proved that there is no
differences between white and Ne
gro workers when they come to-
gether.
The Open Letter states: "The
Party must mobilize the masses for
the struggle for equal rights Of the
Negroes and for the right of self
determination for the Negroes In
the Black Belt. 1t must ruthlessly
combat any form of white chauvi-
niSm and JIM Grow practice. It
must not only in words, but in
deeds, overcome all obstacles to the
drawing in of the best elements Of
the Negro pSoletariat."
If we are really to carry out some
OF our tasks stated in the Open Let
ter, we must sincerely begin tc
think of how to overcome the rem
nants of white chauvinism, and. in
the first place, do away with the
liberal approach on the Negro ques-
ton.
1t is no longer question of send
ing a Negro worker in a commit
tee, but it becomes the paramount
question before the entire Party to
fight for the Negro rights in the
neighborhoods. on the jobs and in
the shops. We cannot be satisfied
because we have had in the com
mittee or we elected a Negro worker
into the Executive Board, that is
only the preliminary step, and we
must develop this step further. We
must at all times speak and point
out in all the minutest details the
actual conditions of the Negro
workers.

Trust Wipes Out
Paper Factory in
Monopoly Drive
Nv a worker Correspondent


DENVER, Col. = A paper mill
located on the outskirts of Denver
which has been in at least a half
dozen receiverships and which has
been reorganized as many times
during the past Is years or so, has
been employing from 80 to 100 work
ers until the past week, when it
went into another receivership and
was sold. 1t was sold at auction
and bought up by the paper trust,
which has decided to close it down
for good as the trust has too many
paper factories running and toe
much paper is being produced for
the market.
Since the N. R. A. went into effect
and the president has set the Clay
ton antitrust act aside, the paper
trust can do this, and in that way
it can buy up many small factories
and put them out of commission,
keeping them closed for good, and
the workers formerly employed in
these places will have to go into
the army of unemployed.
The unit of the Communist Party
in the packing house district here
is going to try and get enough
Daily Workers with this article in
it to distribute among former en-
ployes of this factory, and try to
arouse them to the necessity of or
ganizing against this kind of in
human treatment.
