N. L. C. National Organizer warned the audi- ence that there were two groups of white workers: those who still had the ideology of the be and aided the bosses in practising discrimina- tion avainst colored workers, and those who had learned in the school of revolutionary activity that the in- terests of all workers, black, white and brown, were identical and were ready to make common cause with pl sections of the working-class. “The American Negro Labor Con- gress is organized to smash the bar- riers raised in the trade unions by the first group and to force equal pay for equal work, equal oppor- tumity for employment and equal representation in the unions,” Moore said. Fenry Rosemond. secretary of the Haitien Patriotic Union and a mem- ber of long standing in the Amer- ican Negro Labor Congress, urged umon the meeting the necessity of a militant organization such as this and called upon those present to show their sympathy with its aims and program not merely by ap- riause but by becoming active mem- bers and helping to build up the Rrooklyn Council of the American Negro Labor Congress. Grace Campbell, chairman of the Harlem Educational Forum, gave a brief and interesting outline of working conditions among Negro women in the needle trades and’ -other industries. She emphasized the necessity of these workers joi ing the unions in their industries. Raps Old Political Parties. Ripping the mask of false friend- ship from the Republican Party and, showing it up in its true colors as a party dominated by financiers and employers whose exploiting inter- ests were necessarily opposed to the interests of the exploited black and white workers, and further remind- ing his hearers of the traditional enmity of the Democratic Party, George Padmore called upon the Negro workers to vote for the party whieh by its working-class program and its outspoken, fearless advocacy of the interests of the Negro work-| ers had shown itself the true friend! of the Negro, the Workers (Com- munist) Party. He severely casti- gated Judge Atwell for his preju- diced remarks in a recent case be- fore him, and warned that “Atwell is not individual. There are scores of Atwells come up from the South and trying to introduce Southern prejudice and Southern institutions » ) in the North. We must meet this growing menace by eternal gi- lance and effective working- organization:” Referring to the agi- tation for Africa for the Africans, Padmore told the meeting that “un- less we are sufficiently organized, | economically and politically, we will) not be able to help our African brothers when they, taking courage from the heroic revolution of the| Chinese masses, !aunch the inevit- able revolution against capitalist-| imperialist domination and exploita-| tion,” LENINGRAD, Aug. 26.—Anna Bistrova, an Esthonian woman, has | confessed to the Soviet authorities that she was engaged in organized | espionage in Soviet territory since 1924.

A large crowd of workers had gathered at the meeting, which was held at Broadway and Eighth Sts. As the first speaker, Max Apple- man, launched into an explanation of the class justice which brought about the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, a squad of policemen and plain clothes men surrounded the! meeting. The speaker was im-| mediately pulled down and many | other League members, who were| identified by plain clothes men, were | also lined up. Thirteen in all were arrested. They were then marched in a body down the main street of Rockford to the police sub-station. Marching down the street, the sang the Inter- national and the Red Flag. Upon arrival at the city jail they, were questioned, and Max Appleman was charged with speaking without a permit, while Zip Khoehis was charged with distributing leaflets, The other 11 workers, after a warn- ing from the chief of police, were released. ‘WAITERS’ UNION , ENDS STRIKES Settlement Permits| Discrimination | Strikes involving five restau-| rants, with over forty waiters and | waitresses, have been announced to- | day, as “settled” by Louis Rifkin, | president of Local 1, Waiters and | Waitresses, American Federation of | Labor.

But Yelich had no money to pay in ad- vance, and the doctors would not come.

AND THE KELLOGG PACT TAILORS’ SCALPS Get Opportunity Thru Yellow Officials Another conference between the employers and the right wing of- ficials of the Ladies Tailors’ Local 88 will be held today. The ap- proaching expiration of the present agreement was used by the bosses as an opportunity to present a se- ries of drastic demands for lower- conditions of the union members, due to the fact that the union was weakened by the right wing clique now in power here and in the International. was issued to the press by the left wing workers in that organization that states in part: “The demoralization of the ladies’ tailoring trade and also in Local 38, due to the policy of the right wing clique now in power, was brough: to such a point that when the agree- ment is about to expire the em- ployers have the audacity to put up demands to the union which, if ac- cepted, would destroy the conditions that the workers have won after | twenty years’ struggle. “It is clear that if the clique in| the International had not created this, situation in the union, the em- | ployers would not have dared to put | up such demands to the local. | “At the membership meeting held | Thursday night, August 23, at the | tivities, was released when the In- Central Opera House, 67th St. and| Third Ave., the agreement that the | Couturier Association presented to| went to act as one of the speakers | Local 38 was read.

This justifiable | demand was rejected by the right wing chairman.” ’ RED DRIVE TO BE CONTINUED Workers Urged to Aid Communist Campaign Continued from Page One interfered with the meetings of many party units, and a number of comrades have therefore not re- ceived their boxes or shop collection lists. An added difficulty was the rainy weather which _ persisted throughout the week and also re- tarded collections. “We have, therefore, decided to extend ghe collection period through- out the reek of August 27, to give every comrade an opportunity to se- cure his quota of contributions to the party’s campaign fund. We have assigned a quota of not less than five dollars, which must be raised by each comrade either through a collection list or a box, toward the party’s campaign fund.

The Reserve Board survey showed industrial and trade activity on a larger volume in July than is usual in midsummer with the general level of commodity prices advanced slightly. A survey of 24 cities made by the American Federationist revealed a one per cent increase in the number of organized wage earners out of. work. Preliminary figures for Au- gust show but a slight change over the July situation. “Production of manufactures and minerals showed a smaller decrease than is usual in July,” the Federal Board reported, “and the index of industrial production, which made allowance for seasonal variations, advanced.” NICE, France, Aug. 26.—The Italian consul at Nice, Marquis di Muro, was wounded today by a gun- shot fired from behind the iron grill of the consulate garden.

The chief task of this committee is to render mutual, moral and ma- terial support in strikes and lock- outs. The participants in the com- mittee also undertake to fight energetically against international strikebreaking and against the re- formist slogan of class peace in industry. The political significance of the unity committee is further evidenced by its agreement to work for the prevention of the disruptive tactics of the imperialists and for the pre- vention of imperialist war.
