May 10-20 as Negro Wee (Continued from Page One) United States and create a republic of workers and farmers, without regard to race or color. the period of May 10 to May 20 as National Negro Week. During period the full strength and resources of the Party must be mobil- d to dramatize the struggles of the Negro masses and push the Negro work of the Party and to win these masses to our standard. Party Must Prepare Now! Every district, section and unit of the Party must begin Now to prepare for National Negro Week. Those districts which have not yet elected a District Negro Committee and a director of Negro work must do so at once. Every section must elect a Section Negro Committee. Every unit must have a comrade responsible for Negro work. (This applies even to those units and sections functioning in territories where there is no Negro population. These will have to function in Negro work in one way or another; i. e. mobilizing sentiment in favor of the struggle of the Negro against all forms of white oppression, raising funds for the energetic prosecution of the Party’s Negro work, etc.) National Negro Week must be opened in each district with a mobili- zation of forces by way of an affair of some kind: dinner, dance, etc., the proceeds of which shall be sent to the National Negro Department of Committees must arrange to have speakers appear before each Party unit to set aside a meeting solely for the discussion of the problems and struggles of the Negro masses and the Party’s Negro work. An outline for this discussion will be sent to all District Negro Committees and must be transmitted to the units. During the entire period of May 10 to May 20, there must be held mass meetings, street meetings, factory gate meetings, inter-racial social affairs (for the purpose of bringing the black and white workers to- gether and in protest and defiance of the capitalist dictum of racial separation). These meetings must be utilized to mobilize the Negro masses for the struggle against white oppression, to teach them the necessity of fighting shoulder to shoulder with the revolutionary white workers against the common enemy, to point out to them the treacher- ous role of the labor bureaucrats of the American Federation of Labor, to carry to them the message of Communism and.to acquaint them with the structure of the Communist Party of the U. S. A., and the leading role being played by Negro comrades who, it should be pointed out, are on all important committees of-our Party (including the Central Com- mittee with five Negro members, two of whom are also on the Political Committee) in line with the decisions of the Communist International and the Sixth National Convention. These meetings must also be used (1) to mobilize against the war danger; (2) to point out to the Negro workers the rcle of the Soviet Union in the fight against imperialism and the necessity for the workers of all races uniting in defense of the Soviet Union; (3) to get Negro workers and farmers to send delegates to the Trade Union Unity Convention in Cleveland on June 1, and 2; and (4) to enlist support for the southern strikes and create favorable | sentiment toward left-wing leadership in the labor movement. Here it must be pointed out to our own comrades that the Party is now entering a new phase of its life with its entrance into the southern in- dustrial districts as a leader of the struggles of the masses against capitalist rationalization. white workers in large numbers in the same locals and on a basis of full equality. This makes it all the more essential that we should push the work of mobilizing the white workers in support of the struggles of the gro masses, and energetically strive for inter-racial labor solidarity by pointing out to the workers of all races how capitalism seeks to divide and disrupt the working class in its desperate effort to perpetuate its fascist rule. Toussaint L’Ouverture Memorial Meetings. National Negro Week must culminate in the fullest Party mobiliza- tion for participation in the Toussaint L’Ouverture Memorial Meetings which the American Negro Labor Congress, with the co-operation of | other Negro working class organizations, will hold throughout the country on May 20 in honor of the great Negro leader of the Haitian Revolution. Where there is no indication that the Negro organizations themselves will hold such meetings, the Party must endeavor to hold Toussaint L’Ouverture Memorial Meetings in the Negro districts, in- viting the Negro organizations to participate. Fight White Chauvinism! The functions of the District Negro Committees must be both to do work among the Negro workers and farmers and to wage a ruth- less campaign against the slightest manifestation of white chauvinism in the ranks of the Party. The Central Committee has given ample evidence of its determination to use the sharpest organizational measures against any Party member guilty of white chauvinism. Already there have been several expulsions on this charge. The District Negro Com- mittees and all other Party committees must support the Central Com- mittee in a relentless war against this non-Bolshevik attitude. The Party Press. The Party press must give full co-operation for National Negro Week. It must fully support the National Negro Department and the District Negro Committees in waging a wide ideological campaign against white chauvinism among the working class. It must publish in full the articles and statements sent it in preparation for, and during National Negro Week. It must also show that it realizes the importance of Negro work by having its own articles and editorials on Negro problems and struggles. It must intensify during National Negro Week its campaign against all forms of oppression to which Negro workers and farmers are subjected. Party editors must thoroughly acquaint themselves with the problems and struggles of the Negro masses and must learfitoTh® these up With the struggles of the various language groups, National Negro Week must be utilized to mobilize the full strength of the Party behind our Negro work and must usher in a new era of intensified activity in this field! Special instructions have been sent all District Negro Committees. Definite tasks must be assigned to every comrade and they must be held strictly responsible for the carrying out of these tasks. A check-up must be made and a report sent to this department, For full social equality for the Negro! For equal opportunity for employment for Negro and white workers! For equal pay for equal work for Negro workers! For the admittance of Negro workers into the unions on a basis of full equality, with participation in leadership! Against lynching and other forms of white ruling class terrorism! : Against Jim-Crowism! Against segregation! Against disfranchise- ment! Against discrimination in any form!

U. E. L. Meet | | | In the following letter to the Daily Worker, a Detroit auto worker calls upon workers to celebrate May Day | as it should be celebrated, and urges workers to elect their shop committees and send their delegates |to the Trade Union Unity Conven- | tion in Cleveland, June 1: “Fellow Workers: | “Once again May Day is near due, | | and it is regretable that in this coun- | | try, where the international labor {holiday was first conceived, we | workers do not observe this day and | celebrate it as it should be by all | workers. The very fact that work- lers in the A. F. of L, allow the sub- stitution of a date in September by the capitalist class;as a supposed | labor day, betrays a lamentable lack | of class consciousness and a loss of militancy on the part of us workers |—and it is in protest against these jecene ce that I write. Down Tools. us, the slaves of production, on which we should demonstrate our strength and solidarity, when we should rally jround the banner of the working | class movement. With this in mind | I ask my fellow toilers to down tools on May First, the proper date, and let us celebrate in true workman | fashion this important and interna- | | tional day. “The proper observance of this | day by us in the auto-industry here | | in Detroit, would have an important and far-reaching effect throughout | the slave pens of Detroit. It would | be one of the first steps towards or- | | ganization and through organization }comes that solidarity so much de- | by the boss class, Our Day. “On this day above all days, we | should participate in mass demon- | strations carrying our message fear- | lessly, proclaiming our right to or- | ganize along those lines which shall | have as their ultimate end the mass action so necessary to win freedom | for us. Then and then only, fellow | workers, will we be able to abolish this hellish speed-up that saps one’s strength so and results in our being | cast on the scrap heap, worn out and useless in a much shorter period than } | any worker in any other country in | the world. Let’s unite this May Day, | fellow workers, down tools, leave the | factories in idleness, mute testimony to our power, crowd the streets with our demonstrations, The tramp of our feet will be the ‘anvil chorus’ of | thousands of tens of thousands in the march of celebration. May Day | is our day, fellow workers. Let them | not take it from us, guard it and | use it as the means to achieve that | freedom fr.m enslavement which is our lot, treasure it as the day when we demonstrate, our power as the | one day that labr speaks. T. U. E. L, Call. “In the March issue of the Food | Worker, by far the most interesting | thing in it was the call for a conven- | tion of the workers, organized and | unorganized at Cleveland, June Ist. This is very important, fellow work- ers, as I understand it, this would | be the center in America for all real | live unions, away from the old rot: | ten and corrupt American Federa- tion of Labor, whose policy of graft | and fake has so misled us workers | here. “With such a central body in be- ing as is proposed, the building of an auto union here can be speeded up, and the death blow given to the “pie-card” artists who infest the De- |troit Federation of Labor, whose chief duties appear to be the or- ganizing of “rackets.” Proper repre- sentation from the factories here to the Cleveland Convention and by proper representation I mean work- ers from the belt lines and the spray- ing booths, genuine toilers whose de- sire is mass militant, aggressive unionism, will be a decisive step forward to smashing the corrupt machine of Green & Co, and to the rallying of the basic elements of the working class, the unskilled and semi-skilled. End of Grafters. “We workers should get together as soon as possible in the shops and if not there then outside somewhere and talk this matter over, pick out the best elements amongst us and | get our shop committees made up ready for work at Cleveland, June Ist. “Those of us who are members of existing unions should see to it that all progressive members raise this issue at their union meeting and in- sist on delegates being sent. Don’t let us fail in this attempt to realize our strength, failure will be a vic- tory for the fakers, a little organiza- tion on our part will be the end of the grafters. —“SPRAYER.” BRITISH MINER KILLED.

Misleaders Boost Big Navy. | At the New Orleans convention the officials of the American Fed- eration of Labor, led by John P. Frey, head of the Metal Trades De- | partment, endrosed a maximum} |naval building program, giving as, their excuse, that “construction of ‘battleships would result in the em- | ployment of shipyard workers.” The ‘workers at the Brooklyn | Navy Yard are among the most bit- |terly exploited of all governrhent’ jemployes and receive low wages. | | They are divided into three cata- | gories by the government in order | to prevent effective resistance on the | part of the workers against their! slavery, by shifting them from the higher to the lower grades. A! “silent” speedup system is main- | tained, the main feature of which | is the keeping of the records of the work done by each man on time cards, and calling of workers on the | carpet frequently because they are knot doing enough work to suit the bosses. Due to the sabotage of the} workers by the A.F. of L. only a weak form of organization exists in| the Navy Yard, and all attempts at militant action are always squelched | by the A.F. of L. and its Metal} Trades Department, who collaborate | with the government. $5,000 a Year Lobby. | Scorning all militant action to end | the slave conditions of the Navy| Yard workers, the Metal Trades De- | partment is maintaining a lobbyist, | at $5,000 a year, to réspectfully beg | | the Congressmen to please do some- | thing towards obtaining Saturday | afternoons off. The workers are} forced to work a six day week, eight hours a day, with a half day off} weekly only in the summer months, The Navy Yard workers are forced to punch a time clock located }at a point so far distant from the gates that they must come to work | 15 minutes earlier than starting time | in order to reach it. The machinists, | boilermakers, shipwrights, oper: smiths, electricians, pattern makers, | carpenters and other workers in the yard are paid a graduated scale of| wages. The militant workers are demanding that a standard scale for all workers be paid. Negro workers are employed at low wages as out- side laborers. While a 30-day vacation is given annually for workers of more than a year’s service, all time off for ill- ness, injury, holidays, etc., is deduct- ed from this vacation. No vacation is given before the first year. To- day being a “holiday” for the launch- ing, the time will also be deducted. Workers are forced by the gov- ernment to pay 3% percent of their wages towards an old age fund, from which a sum of $1,000 is paid the workers—providing they have been in continuous service at the Navy Yard for 30 years at the time they are 65 years old; otherwise they get only $500. The old age sum is thus practically paid out of the pockets of the workers them- selves, oer ae (See editorial and cartoon on page six.) FURNITURE WORKERS STRIKE TAUNTON, Va.

Notice that the bells are not | working, although there are mail- boxes which have been put up by the | tenants themselves. Climb thru this | six story building, with no lights burning in the halls, and grope your way from door to door of the 39 flats. You will have a good reception, no matter whether it be Latin-Ameri- can, Negro or Italian who opens the in. They are all glad to speak to you, once you convince them that A Cracking W This particular tenement, No. 1869, is a little more “fortunate” than the others in the neighborhood in having a landlord who would rather collect the rent in installments than dispossess the tenants. He has a good reason for this. He gets his money and-at the same time he has a whip to crush over the heads of the tenants. For the tenants will not kick about falling ceilings, lack of water supply, rats and vermin, no garbage collection. No sooner does a tenant say: “Why don’t you fix the sink?” when the agent for the landlord, will hold out his hand and say: “Have you got your rent?” Rent or no rent, improvements are not forthcoming. Pay for Color. The system of rent raising is not as vicious here as in Upper Harlem, altho a colored worker is made to pay for the color of his skin in higher rents than those paid by white tenants in the same building. A Cuban family pays $25 for four rooms on the fourth floor, a Negro family pays $23 for 3 rooms on the third floor, another Negro family pay $27 for. three rooms on the fourth floor, a Porto Rican family pays $26 for 4 rooms on the fifth | floor, a Negro family pays $20 for 3 rooms on the fifth floor, an Ameri- | the third floor, and so on. The discrimination against Negro and Latin-American families is very evident, and is keenly felt by the tenants. A Negro, a lather living here knows that he is paying five more dollars for his flat than his next door neighbor, a Jew, is paying for his, Mrs. Verona knows that she is paying $10 more for the same three rooms than the family below | her is paying. That is a part of the landlord’s plan. He exploits the colored work- ers to the limit and makes them feel that he is doing them a favor by letting them remain in a mixed house, Intimidation. “If only we could all get together,” | said the Negro lather. “We get used to this discrimination. We look for it. When I ask the lady next door to lend me her rent receipt so that I can go to the agent and show him that I am paying more, she is afraid to give it to me. She may be thrown out. When I talk to the tenants about starting something they want me to start it. But I have only been here a year, and I haven’t been The landlord didn’t throw me out when I couldn’t pay my rent and waited a few weeks for it. If I started anything now, out I go.” That is race prejudice in dollars and cents, the only terms in which the landlords think. They terrorize and intimidate the tenants, throw up walls of prejudice, in order to have a better hold on them. The dispossession of one Negro or Latin- American family in the tenement is enough to intimidate the others into submission. * . Whitewash, W Fat landlord had the janitor white- wash the interior of the dumb- waiters when a violation had been reported. The dumbwaiters had not been working for years. The doors were nailed up. ~The tenants were forced to take their own garbage and ashes from the coal stoves down to the court and dump it into the cans. Many of them throw it out of the windows into the small court in the center of the building because there is no provision made for its removal. The children, who do most of the housework here — for both father and mother are at work—cannot help. but drop the slop on the stair- case and halls while carrying it down, After the tenant inspector came and looked at the whitewash, the landlord had the janitor nail up the doors to the dumbwaiter shaft again. * 8 * Continue to follow the Daily Worker in its exposure of housing conditions thruout the city.
