bone and sinew of the nation. is
allowed to remain in the private
and uncontrolled hands of a small
group of wealthy individuals.
THE jungle created by the
meat trusts has been eloquent
proof Of this. l am convinced that
only when labor learns to de-
mand that the means of their
livelihood be owned and oper-
ated in the best interests of the
majority of the people, and not
for few wealthy stockholders,
will workers be able to look for
ward to a life of security, abund-
ance and peace.
For such views I have no apol-

labor will embrace these views
as their own.
My only concern at present is
to keep our union strong, united

Soys COP is
onti-Negro

A Negro minister of Gary, Ind.
this week sent blistering letter
to Republican leaders, accusing
the COP of betraying the Negro
people.
The letter, written by DR.. L. K.
Jackson, pastor of Gary's ST. Paul
Baptist Church, reviewed Repub-
lican inaction against Jim crow,
discrimination, lynchings, and
other crimes, and declared, "You
have fiddled while our flesh
burned and mob violence cover
ed Dixie like the waters cover
the mighty deep.
THE only consistent and logi-
cal reason that anyone can give
for your lethargy and inhunlanity
is that you are anti-Negro, and
do not believe in the American
way of life"
Speaking as ga Republican who
has stood with the Republican
Party" DR.. Jackson attacked the
bipartisan reactionaries, stating:
"You have formed coalition
with the Southern Democrats,
who are tainted with Naziism +.
For eight years, with your South
ern coalition, you defeated
every piece of liberal legislation
which was presented to Congress
by the late President Roosevelt"
The conference.-the Red scare
stems in part from both old
parties anti-Negro prejudice, DR..
Jackson believes. 1.-THE real OBJ
lection (they have) to Russia and
Communism is that Russia
has outlawed segregation, jim
crowism, discrimination, mob vio-
lence, and hideous types of bru-
tality to which the Negro is sub
iected in America"
