Negroes and Negro organizations,
unions, mass organizations, social
clubs, and churches, to Immediately
organize tremendous protest
movement against this terror reign,
and against the murder of four

ders, for this reign of terror, rests
squarely upon President Roosevelt,
upon the N. R. A. officers. who Of

slave wage differentials against
which the miners are striking, !"
said.
The statement called on all white
and Negro toilers to reject the Ne
gro reformist misleaders, especially
of the National Association for the

They have turned their organ,
