Union Addresses Letter
to Minneapolis Negroes

We are glad to accept the kind
invitation of the Minneapolis
SPOKESMAN and the st. Paul RE-
CORDER to make known through
its columns the attitude of General
Drivers Union Local 544 towards
the Negro.
Together with the other pro-
gressive unions in this area, Local
544 stands for full social, economic
and political equality for all Ne
groes and welcomes them into the
union movement. Every worker, of
whatever color or creed, belongs in
the ranks of organized labor, for it
is only along this road that the
pressing problems of insecurity can
ultimately be solved.
Local 544 and its section for the
unemployed-the Federal Workers
Section-has in its ranks many
Negro members. We have always
found these workers to be loyal,
responsible and conscientious union
men and women.
T We are aware that many people
and organizations, both white and
black, have sought to prevent the
Negro workers from joining hands
with the white workers in the
unions. We sharply condemn all
such efforts, from whatever source
they may come. Such efforts can
only play into the hands of the en-
ployers who cold-bloodedly seek to
carry out a policy Of Divide and
Rule: divide the whites from the
blacks, divide the Jew from the
Gentle, divide the workers of one
religion from those of another, etc.
All workers, Of whatever race,
creed, color, sex, or political belief,
have one paramount interest upon
which they can unite and struggle
for better living and better life
for all, and. that is our common eco
nomic interest.
The Negroes, in addition, have a
special problem. They are doubly
exploited, exploited because they
are workers and because of their
color. The ever-present violation Of
the civil rights and liberties Of the
Negroes by the white employers
has become more intense since 1929.
Our union is pledged to stand ready
to protect and enforce the observ-
ance of the civil rights of minori-
ties.
Local 544 understands that the
employers everywhere, when they
decide to rule through fascism, al
ways seek to whip up a brutal hys-
terra against the existing racial mi
norities, in order to utilize this hys-
terra to carry over to an attack
upon the labor movement.
There are groups in the United
States, in Minnesota, yes, in Mime

apolis, who are seeking to initiate
Hitler here. The fascist Silver
Shirts, for example, in the same
breath state they mean to kill the
Jews, make the Negroes sub-citi-
zens or wards of the state, and
smash the union movement.
To tell the Negroes that they
must look to the large employers
for protection from the Silver
Shirts as do some Negro leaders,
is to shamelessly mislead them and
leave them unarmed under the
fascist whips. 1t is, the large en-
ployers who are the very ones who
are backing and financing the Sill
yer Shirts.
The ONLY defense against fas-
cism is a strong and militant labor
movement. We cordially invite all
Negroes to join the union move
ment and participate jointly with
US in the fight for security and
against fascism.
The deepening of the economic
crisis, with the accompanying world
growth of reaction, do not permit
much time to solve our problems.
New and radically different moves
must be made by all who toll for a
living, if we in the United States
are to avert the fate of the COM
mon masses in Europe.
For many decades the Negroes
have been led to look everywhere
but to their own organized strength
for the way to life Of security and
peace. All such attempts have
failed. We say to each Negro work
er: No one will help you but your
self. Individually you have no pow
er. Join with your fellow workers,
white and black, and contribute
towards building that collective
strength which can win for all of
US the better life that we need and
can get in this, the richest country
in the world. In unity there is
strength.
We urge all Negroes to align
themselves with organized labor
and fnd In the home of unionism
the full social, economic and polit-
zeal equality which has been de-
MED them elsewhere.
