- Page Two THE DAILY WORKER | HOW THE NEGRO WORKER VIEWS* THE STRIKE OF THE 16,000 PASSAIC TEXTILE WORKERS By ROLAND A. GIBSON. The following article appeared in The Messenger, a Negro monthly pub- Meation, in which Roland A, Gibson comments on the way in which the Pas: saic textile strikers greeted Negro workers who joined the strike for better working conditions: “Three cheers for the Negro work- ers!” Albert Weisbord, organizer of the United Front Committee of Tex- tile Workers in Passaic, New Jersey, soypded the call. 1,000 strikers from the United Piece Dye Works in Lodi responded with a will. ‘The meeting was held in Castle Park Hall on the Garfield side of the Pas- sate river, just across from the huge Botany Worsted Mills where the work- re have been on strike for over seven weeks. A mile and a half the Lodi strikers had marched to hear their leader speak. 1 was on the picket line in Lodi dur- ing the noon hour that day, March 10. It was an inspiration to see two Ne- groes marching in the front ranks. Sev- eral hundred colored workers are em- ployed in the dye works. They are ‘paid 26 cents an hour and the condl- tions under which they work are mis- erable. “Twenty-five cents an _ hour! Boo-0-o!” we shouted as we passed) the walls of the factory and the line of workers smoking and resting after their morning shift. Occasionally two or three would join the line and the exultation would be immense, Later, at the meeting, Weisbord made an impassioned plea for solidar- ity of all nationalities and races to win the strike. One of the Negro brothers sat on the platform. “This is not a strike of American workers,” Weis- ord declared, “This is not a strike of the foreign-born. This is a strike of all the workers to establish a working class union. I said yesterday that I should like to be the first to shake the hand of the first Negro worker who would join our ranks, Well, I am glad ehat I have had that privilege.” This is a new phenomenon among strike leaders. Most unions bar col- ered workers and thereby encourage them to become strikebreakers. We wan be thankful that a new school of labor leaders is arising which will shatter this tradition of prejudice and wave the way for a united labor move- went of all workers, regardless of race and nationality. $44 Is Yearly Wage for _- Many Illinois Farmers URBANA, Ill., May 10.—The annual farm business report of the farm or- ganization and management depart- ment of the University of Illinois for Mason, Macon, Logan, Pratt, and Mc- Lean counties shows that farmers in these counties made an average labor and management wage of $44 for the past year after they had met expenses and allowed 5 per cent on their aver- age capital investment of $236 an acre in land, buildings, livestock, etc, This report is based on records kept by 35 farmers in these counties. Virgin Islands Bill for Government Revived WASHINGTON, May 10. — For the same mysterious reason that he caus- ed the Virgin Islands civil government | bill to be shelved on April 7, Chair- man Willis of the senate committee on territories and insular possessions has caused it to be revived. The motion postponing its consideration until next December has been reconsidered. Willis did not disclose the inspiration of his quick change of front, but other senators expressed a belief that the first decision that a junket down to the islands this summer was necessary Sentence Cuban Woman to 90 Days in Jail for Having Negro Sweety RIPLEY, Cal., May 10. — Anna De- weese, Cuban resident of Blythe, Cal., was given 90 days im the county jail at Riverside because she kept com- pany with a colored man, G. L. Young. The arresting officer placed a charge of vagrancy against Anna Deweese, jand the trial magistrate, Judge Kruntz- man, allowed the charge to stand in spite of the evidence of over ten white women, wives.of Blythe merchants, | who testified under oath that Mrs. De- weese washed and ironed for a living Mrs. Deweese is the mother of a little girl and is a widow. All Negroes were excluded from the court room during the trial. Young was not allowed to testify. The court informed Mrs. Deweese that she did |not have to keep company with a “damn black nigger,” and if the de- fendant would promise in the future to only go with white men or Mexi- can men, she would be released and all charges dropped. The defendant maintained that she was not white and had a perfect right to have a colored sweetheart. The local law enforcement machin- ery at Blythe is 100 per cent K. K. K. Young is head of the A. N. L. C., Blythe local. He had been keeping company with the defendant for over a year. A.N.L. C. Mass Meeting Blames Bosses for the Rioting at Carteret NEW YORK, May 10.—(FP)—There was an economic cause to the-race persecution at Carteret, N. J., where a Negro church was burned and the Negro population deported, declared a big mass meeting of ‘Negro workers called by the American Negro Labor Congress and the/Harlem Educational Forum. A resdlution sent to Gov- eronr’ Moore of New Jersey declared: “We direct attention to the basic cause of these terrible outrages—the pitting of black and white workers against each other, in suicidal compe- tition for jobs, by employers to reduce wages—and we declare that the only remedy for this situation is to be found in the organizifig of black and white workers upon a basis of equal- ity and the formation of intersocial labor councils.” Alabama Convict Labor System is Viciously Attacked IfRMINGHAM, Ala., May 10. James C. Knox was placed in a laun- dry vat for refusing to dig coal at the mines of contractors who use convict labor in Alabama. He died as a result of this inhuman treatment and now |the investigation is bringing out the fact that a number of such outrages have taken place. The bodies of two convicts recently buried are being ex- humed by the orfer of the grand jury. An attack on the convict labor system is to be made at the next session of the legislature. The United States senatorial candidates, before the prim- aries, are using the issue to grgb off votes. FOREIGN-BORN WORKERS COUNCILS SEND DELEGATES TO NATIONAL CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON ON MAY 15 AND 16 PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 10.—Reports reaching the office of the Western Pennsylvania Council for the Protection of Foreign-Born indicate that the national conference which will be held at the Play House in Washington, D. C., Saturday and Sunday, May 15-16, will be a huge success, The Pittsburgh council has elected 2 delegates, the chairman and the secretary of the conference, Local Union No, 2881, United Mine Workers of America, has elected a delegate to represent it at the Washington conference. News came from New York that the council there expects to send its full quota of five delegates. Detroit, Bos- ton, Cleveland, Buffalo and numerous other cities are making arrangements to send delegates. Extensive preparations are being made to hold a huge mass meeting at the Play House, Washington, D. C., Sunday, May 16. Nationally known speakers were invited to address the meeting. It is expected that more than 100 delegates representing hundreds of thousands of workers will be repre- sented at the national conference in Washington. The call for the Washington confer- ence was issued by the Western Penn- sylvania Council for the Protection of Foreign-Born with the consent of coun- ctls of several other large cities, Hun- dreds of organizations are affiliated “with the Western Pennsylvania Coun- including the Pittsburgh Central sor Union, Judge English Faces Senate to Answer the Impeachment Charges WASHINGTON, May 10.—~Respond- ing to a formal summons Fed. Judge George W. English, of the Eastern Dis- trict of Illinois, wilk appear before the senate high court of impeachment to answer the house’s charges of high crimes and misdemeanors. Facing his accusers for the first time since the house impeashed him, Judge English will be arraigned at the bar of the senate, enter a formal plea of “not guilty” and file a statement, replying to the charges. The fixing of a date for the public trial of English will be the next de- velopment. An attempt to postpone the proceeding until next November, when congress would be called into special session, is being made by many senators. FRANCE FEARS TO LOSE CONTROL OF PHOSPHATE DEPOSITS OF MOROCCO PARIS, May 10. — The report of the African Phosphate bureau in Morocco shows that 570,000 tons of phosphates out of a total production of 721,000 were exported last year, against total outputs of 430,000 tons in 1924 and 250,000 in 1923. These exports are so great, that American phosphates have been practically excluded from the mark- ets of Holland, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Czecho-Slovakia, the Balt- ic states and the Union of South Africa. So far Moroccan phosphates have not been competing with Algerian and Tunisian phosphates, which al- ready have a wide field. The output is growing very rapidly and exports are due to increase since the crea- tion of the Phosphates Electric rail- way, running to the port of Casa- blanea, The total government-owned pro- duction in Morocco yields 90,000,000 francs annually, and additional state properties are being prepared for the agriculture of future years, The to- tal budget receipts in 1926 will ex- ceed 500,000,000 francs. American Engineers to Drain Malarial Plain in Macedonia for Greece ATHENS, May 4. —(FP)—An Amer- ican engineering, company has entered into a contract with the Greek gov- ernment for draining the malarial plan in Macedonia, comprising some 300 square miles to the the northward of Saloniki, According to American Consul Fer- nald, a preliminary loan of $2,000,000 has been negotiated by the Greeks, and the big job, which will take four and one-half years and will cost $26,- 570,000, is soon to be started. There will be 5,000 men, mostly Greeks, em- ployed at digging. Over 25,000 refu- gee families will make their homes on the land when it is drained. Straightening of tle channel of the Vardar .(Axios) river will be the first step. Afterward dikes and levees for flood control will be built, the rivers Gallikos and Aliakmon will be deep- ened, the Yenidje swamp drained, and Lakes Ardzan and Amotavo emptied of their malaria-charged waters, Sixty per cent of the people of Saloniki and 80% of the newly settled refugees suf- fer from malaria. The land which will be recovered from swamp and lake bottoms and from flood areas is very rich, May Move German Locomotive Works to the Soviet Union KHARKOV, May 10. — An offer to transfer to the Ukraine its entire lo- comotive works recently constructed in Dusseldorf in the Ruhr has been made by the board of directors of the German concern. They ask 7,000,000 marks from the Soviet Union for mak- ing the move, and offer to send along their director of works, a famous ex- pert in locomotive building, as man- ager. German banks have agreed to finance the deal, and the Soviet au- thorities have accepted in principle. Coolidge Fights Federal Employes Pension Bill WASHINGTON, May 10—If the 350,- 000 federal employes under civil serv- ice who have been struggling for a Mberalized old age pension law get any legislation this year it will be a compromise with President Coolidge. This was made clear when Chairman Lehlbach of the house committee and Stanfield of the senate committee on civil service came away from a stub- born discussion of the issue at the white house on May 5. Coolidge and Budget Director Lord had conceded a maximum annual re- tirement pension of $1,000 to work- ers who had drawn at least $1,500 for 10 years preceding retirement, and who had served the government for 30 years. This would make,the aver- age retirement pension sométhing un- der $700 a year. The federal em- ployes’ bill, which Coolidge and Lord and Mellon have fought for the past six months, called for a maximum of $1,200 a year. The present maximum is $720. The compromise is a triumph for Coolidge and a defeat for the or- ganized employes. Whether the National Federation of Federal Employes and. the three na- tional unions of postal employes will decide to accept this compromise or take a complete defeat and renew the fight after the fall election, has not been disclosed, Seek Pardon for McCray. ‘WASHINGTON, May 10, — Another appeal for executive clemency to re- lease Ex-Governor Warren McCray of Indiana from Atlanta prison was made to President Coolidge today. by Repre- sentative Will W@od, republican, of In- diana, Wood expressed confidence, after seeing the president, that such clem- ency would be forthcoming sometime in the future, altho he admitted that Coolidge had not committed himself in this respect, Put a copy of the DAILY WORKER in your pocket when PENNSYLVANIA LABOR IS FACING MANY PROBLEMS State Federation to Meet at Erie (Continued from page 1). against the labor movement in the state. It also tried to show how Pittsburgh occupies a strategic position in the world of industry and trade, In this forward week it showed that 60% of the ammunition in the | world war was gotten from Pittsburgh; At the same this “Forward Wee! ” was going on, the chamber of commerce started a membership drive in» Pittsburgh. It secured 3,000 new imémbers in the one week. Now the body has 6,530 members in good standin ig. This shows the n 7 for the la- bor movement Pennsylvania awakening and start bts own “For- ward Week.” Instead of showing ‘the wonderful things that the workers have made to make Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania what it is, the labor movement must show to the world at large what Pittsburgh and Pen vania really is and means. Duri je chamber of commerce week, noi thing was said of the 2,209 deaths that oceurred in build- ing up these industries of Pennsylva- nia, nor did it say anything of the 52,000 miners incapacitated by acci- dents in the bituminous and anthracite coal fields. It is up to the State Fed- eration of Labor to see that this kind of campaign is started, and that this campaign be utilized for organizing the hundreds of thousands of workers who are now unorganized in Pennsyl- vania. The excuse that the Federa- tion of Labor has no jurisdiction over organizing the unorganized workers of this state must be done away with at this convention. This convention must be utilized for putting real fighting spirit into the workers of Pennsylva- nia. It must demand that not only an organizational drive be started in Pennsylvania, but that the American Federation of Labor must immediately start drives to organize the unorgan- ized workers of the United States. Certain basic industries such as steel and coal should, be concentrated on, The delegates that, will go to the next American Federdtion of Labor convention must not. only introduce resolution, but must fight to have these resolutions adojited and put into effect. The drive among | Pennsylvania in the e region and in the Latrobe and [r) M fields will be one way to check thi pen shop drive and the slashing of w, ses in which the Pittsburgh chamber /f commerce is taking such an active part. . Not only in Pennsylvania must this drive be started but du West Virginia among the coal miners to organize the unorganized with the paces of the entire labor movement of the United States, for we find that Kentucky and West Virginia produce 70 per cent of the bituminous coal that is used in the United States. It means that as long as the West Virginia and Kentucky fields are the paradise of the non- union coal barons, just'as long will the coal miners of Western Pennsylvania, Central Pennsylvania and Illinois and other union fields be starved and just so long will the coal operators try to smash the United Mine Workers in the different territories where they now have their foot hold. The key to the situation is to “Or- ganize the Unorganized,” of West Vir- ginia, Connellsville Coke Region and Kentucky. At the same time the labor movement must immediately start an intensive organizational campaign to organize the thousands of steel work- ers, especially in the state of Pennsyl- vania. We find that the Amalgamated Steel Workers’ Association has spent $50,000 in trying to organize the steel workers but has got only 100 new members for all the money that was spent in the organization drive, And in the same period it lost three hundred members. The workers of the United States must Iearn even from the chamber of commerce how to con- duct organization drives. The important thimg.that the Erie convention must consider is the organ- ization of the young workers in the dif- ferent industries of Pennsylvania. The young workers have been used by em- ployers as a means of breaking down the trade unions and! as a means of scabbing on strikers in different indus- tries, The majority ofithe young work- ers are employed in the semi-skilled and unskilled work, »They are prac- tically all unorganized. They must immediately be orgapized and agita- tion must be carried om among them in the different forms, such as calling of youth conferences where specific de- mands will be brot up and discussed and ways and means of fighting for these demands be wurxed out. Local unions must take up specific youth problems at their meetings, in trying to bring in the youth and making the union meetings more interesting. The above constitutes only some of the things which the State Federation of Labor convention at Erie must con- sider, miners of Burbank Estate to Wife.

( bank, 'Y cellmate during the first night in a dungeon of the Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) jail was John Michale, eighteen years young, who claimed a father and mother, and seven brothers and sisters back in South Norwalk, Connecticut. Even this bastile of coal and steel could not: blot the flush of red from his olive cheeks, nor quiet the sparkle in his dark eyes, and the curls of his jet black hair were as taunting 8s ever. “Lend a hand over at that end!” growled the “screw,” and that was John’s sole introduction to me along about five o’clock in the afternoon, Wednesday, May 5, 1926, “Screw” is the name the prison- ers give to the jail guards. I was told it was because they are the ones who turn the keys that lock the prisoners in. S28; > BRAM JAKIRA, Pittsburgh dis- trict organizer of the Workers (Communist) Party, and I had re- fused to pay our fines earlier in the afternoon before Magistrate E. M. Hough, at the North Side Police Sta- tion. We were given a free ride across town in the auto patrol to the county jail, were registered, searched thoroly and money and other belongings taken from us, and then assigned to our cells, There were four huge blocks of cells, all opening on a circle. Each block consisted of five tiers, rearing upwards like the mounting floors of a skyscraper. Each tier has two ranges. Sometimes as many as 700 prisoners jam this huge nest of human misery and woe. At this time of the year the number has dropped to 500. At four-twenty o'clock, when the afternoon sun is still streaming thru the obstructing bars and dusty windows, all prisoners are driven off the ranges and locked in their cells for the night. Thus Jakira and I arrived shortly after the jailed had been sent back to their holes. Jakira and I were separated. I was assigned to “Cell I 23, Jakira to “E 3.” door of bars for me, pointed to two long boards nailed together that were sta.ding upright in another cell, ordered me to put them in “I 23,” and it was here that I made acquaintance with my cell mate for the night. He was already stretch- ed out on his “bed” for the~night. Even in the semi-darkness of the cell I could see that his “bed” con- sisted of two more boards nailed to- gether, just like mine, These boards were stretched across two chairs from which the backs had been knocked off. There was just enuf room for these “beds” on opposite sides of the cell with a few inches in between. OT a cigaret?” was the first question that 18-year-old John Michale asked me. That is the endless plea that comes from prac- tically all prisoners, I later learned. Cigarets are not allowed in the jail. They are taken from prison- ers when they enter. Even stock- ings are searched for them. I couldn’t have brot a cigaret into the jail, therefore, even if I had tried. “Ghee, this a a rotten town” ex- claimed John, as if this gave him some relief. “When I get out, I'll never come back to Pittsburgh again. I sure will steer clear of this town.” gE yeod piecemeal I got his story. He was on his way to Chicago. couldn't explain why. But he was going west with his “Buddy,” a Hungarian youth about his own age. His father, now aged 49, was still a day laborer, “pick and shovel,” back in South Norwalk, Connecticut. He didn’t relish a “pick and shovel” fu- ture. He was hitch-hiking west. He had slept nights in police sta- tions, with his “Buddy,” all the way across New Jersey and Pennsyl- vania. But in Pittsburgh it was different. They had slept in flop houses until their money ran out. They had been driven out of the Pittsburgh railroad station, Finally they had been picked up in the post office lobby. John didn’t ike to ad- mit it. It showed that he was still a novice at dodging the police, The veteran always dodges the post of- fice, I was later told. John’s “Bud- dy,” admitted that John had been caught half asleep leaning over the warm raditor as the cold wind of ‘late April howled without: That brot his 10 days from the police judge, along with many others who had been similarly picked up. No one was allowed by the judge to tell his own story, Just “Ten Days!” from the court, and a whole range of one of these jail tiers was filled by a single court decision. ee, ® HEE, I'm sore all over,” was an- other one of John’s admissions. He was then facing his eighth night on his bed of two bare boards. There was no mattress, no pillow, no cover of any kind, No one in the John Michale Promises to Turn His Back on City of Coal and Steel Forever By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. The “screw” opened the.. That seemed to be his Mecca, He , Allegheny County jail has yet been crowned hero for finding a soft spot in any one of those board beds. The search of Sir Launfal for the Holy Grail, was much more successful, “Last night I coughed all night, I can’t sleep. I’vé got'a cold. You can catch anything around here.” He was not wearing his stockings. These were hanging, full of holes, on a nail, He had no underwear.

J can’t eat it.’ Then as if to forget his troubles hejasked, “Let me look at the ‘funnies.’” I let him have the copies of the afternoon pa- pers I had been allowed to bring in with me. He looked over the pic- tures eagerly aided by the: light from the single electric bulb that gleamed thru the cell door. 3 When he had finished I handed him the copy of Nikolai Bukharin’s “Historical Materialism” that I had been allowed to bring in. The first jailer had carefully looked thru its pages to find something to object to. “It's only a history,” I had told him, and he had passed it. John Michale took Bukharin’s book and carefully studied it for a long time. When he finally finished and put the book down, I asked, “What do you make out of it?” “I read two pages. I can’t remem- ber what I read. I don’t like it,” was his terse explanation. Then he curled up and went to sleep. E had said that ne did not like the prison food. But the jail gong found him wide awake shortly after five o'clock in the morning. He would hurl himself wildly, like a young tiger, at the cell door, thinking it had been unlocked. Twice, three times, he repeated the performance, The fourth time he found the door unlocked, He was out on the range with a bound. But he came back crestfallen, He had not been-able to get the coveted tin cup of coffee. This tin cup of cof- fee is usually reserved for the head “rangeman,” who is picked out specially to lord it over the others. John Michale had missed his. coffee, a mixture almost as thin as water. But another day had started. Aday nearer his hour of release. There Was some compensation in that. $6,500,000,000 is Sold on Installment Plan in the United States |" NEW YORK, May 6.—$6,500,000,000 worth of business is done on the in- stallment plan in the United States every year. Fifty-four per cent of that i son automobile purchases. $60,000,- 000,000 is about the annual income of the people of this country. The aver- age national installment debt is less than 5 per cent of that. The bankers’, commission investigating the situation as to the effects of installments on business holds that it will probably not be a big enough factor to have much effect either way.
