THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928. Hundreds of Negro Workers Are Respondi 28 JOIN PARTY AFTER BROOKLYN OPEN-AIR MEET Realize That Workers | Party Is for Them That Negro workers are thorough- ly disillusioned with the republican party, oft-professed “friend of the Negroes and realize the racial prejudice of the democrats, who pose as the friends of the laboring man, is evident by the enthusiasm shown by Negro workers at Work- eds (Communist) Party open air meetings and when approached for their signatures to put the Work- ers Party candidates on the ballot. Negroes Resent Discrimination. Negro workers have reacted quickly to the action of the demo- cratics in debarring Negroes from| the Texas primaries. The frank} statement of Senator Glass of Vir-| ginia that “white supremacy is too precious a thing to permit Negroes} to vote”, and the ousting of the Negro delegate, Mrs. Booze, from a} meeting of the republican women| at the convention held at Kansas, as well as the segregation of ® a More than 3, organizations of the defense are running similar a ffairs war prisoners.

Branch 6 announces the opening of | Negroes at that convention have all|Campaign Headquarters In the 6th As- | contributed to bringing home to Negro workers that the capitalist; parties of the white master class have nothing in common with Negro} workers, and that the Workers (Communist) Party is the only one} which fights for all workers, white| and colored alike. 21 Negroes Join Party. | Since the opening of the Work-) ers Party election campaign, many| Negroe workers have made applica- | tion to join the party. Especially has the corner of Myrtle and Prince Streets, in Williamsburg, been pro- ductive of results. At the four| last meetings held at the corner, 28 Negro workers, after listening to the speakers an the platform of the| | Workers Party, made application} for membership. In the Negro sec-| tion of Harlem, where many open- air meetings have been held under the auspices of Negro comrades, 12 Negro workers applied for mem- bership in the party. In Browns-| ville, where of late many Negro workers have made their home, a good many Negro workers frequent: | ly visit the Workers Party head-| quarters at 154 Watkins Street. | Support Workers Party. The work of Harold Williams in| gathering signatures in the Negro| section, of Harlem has revealed the| extent to which the Workers (Com- munist) Party is known and sup-) ported by masses of Negro workers-} Communist literature on thg elec-| tion campaign, including copies of| the Daily Worker, are eagerly re-| ceived by Negro workers, who ask} questions regarding the platform of | the Communist Party, its attitude} on lynching and race equality. One |Negro worker, thinking Williams had come representing one of the| capitalist parties, was about to slam | the door in his face, but when he was told it was for the Workers| (Communist) Party, he signed eagerly, and asked for a member- ship application card. | Williams, who already has over) 100 signatures to his credit, confi- dently expects to pass the two hundred mark by the end of next week. At an open air meeting held at} Myrtle Ave. and Prince Street, in| Brownsville, the speaker, was heck-| led for attacking the republican| party on its stand against Negro workers. Wright, answering the ob- jections of the heckler, exposed the Emancipation Proclamation, showed that the Negro worker is as much a slave now as before Lincoln’s edict, and mentioned the Houston lynching and the segregation of Negroes at Kansas City. The man} who had interrupted, a white work-| er, apologized, and at the end of the meeting asked for a membership ap-| plication card. PYCCKHM 3YBHOM BPAY Dr. JOSEPH B.
