The boss terror oe. not stop the growing fight ar “Work or Wages!” Publishes ¢ Companys ine wu 3,000 Workers Battle Garvey Leaders Exposed I N the murder of Alfred Levy, a revolutionary Negro worker of Har- lem, the Garveyite leaders have exposed mogt clearly the reac- tionary, anti-working class, anti-Negro character of their movement. For years they have utilized the tremendous and justified discon- tent of the Negro masses resulting from the perseeution and oppres- sion to which the Negro workers and peasants have been subjected by the white ruling class in the United States. of a Negro republic in Africa, propagated as a means of escape from the unbearable conditions which exist here for Negroes, they succeeded in gaining some organized influence among the Negro ma: and in fleecing millions of dollars from the Negroes, supposedly for the estab- lishment of the Negro republic and for the transportation of the Negroes to Africa. But the twelve to fourteen million Negroes cannot be transport to Africa and there, in a strange, undeveloped land, set up their ov. independent state. These millions of Negroes are Americ: they have lived in the United States for over three hundred y eco- nomically and socially their greatest ties are here. It is here that they will have to get social, political and economic: equality. In the South, where the Negroes are the majority in some sections, they must win the right to complete self determination to the point of setting up a separate Negro state. This must be the program of the Negro masses. This program can be realized in the United States. It can-be realize cd through s struggle, in alliance with the white workez st the class. It can never be realized in Africa through the program of Gar ed ns; By taking up the sharpest fight against lynching; by against all attempts at segregation; by demanding the im ate en- franchisement of the Negroes; by fighting against Jim Cr m; by energetically taking up the fight for full social, political and economic equality, with the fight against the government of the southern land- owners and the Wall Street bankers and for the right of self determina- tion as the highest aim of the Negro masses, victory can be won here. In this fight the oppressed Negro ma can count on the fullest, un- flynching support of the revolutionar e and Negro wor led by the Communist Party. The Garveyite leaders are against this progr passivity in the United States rather than for s afraid of the white ruling class. They refuse to stand iheir groun and fight against the “white masters”; the: e to Afr’ And’ as the Negro workers see their reactionary character and brea away from their leadership, turning to the American Gongress and the Communist Party, which wage a real sid emancipation of the workers and all opp: ed peopl eyite leaders unite with the police in murdering revolutionar, ‘Alfred’ Levy was a revolutionary fighter. He was fighting for equality for the Negroes in the United States. He was fighting against Jim Crowism, lynching, segregation, and all forms of persecu- tion and oppression. Because he waged this fight he was murdered by the Garveyites and the police. But thousands more will take up the fight whére he was forced to leave off. His life was not given up in vain, Negroes now tricked and fooled by the Garveyite leaders will break away. They will fight against the white bourgeoisie, their po- lice and Negro agents. The revolutionary movement of the Negro masses will go forward, gather momenium, and be victorious. Alfre! Levy has contributed his all in this march. The Same Mistake is Made Here We must again draw your attention to an incident that occurred in England, We do this with a purpose. A gala day for Fife miners, held at Leven, England, recently, was attended by 6,000 miners and other workers. They responded to the call of our revolutionary organizations and therefore it can be cor- rectly said that these 6,000 workers were sympathetic to our brother organ, the Daily Worker of Lordon. One thousand copies of the London Daily Worker were on hand for sale. Only 176 copies were sold. Neither of the principle ers referred to the London Daily Worker in their speeches. don Daily Worker criticizes Tom Bell and the other sp worke’ peak: chairman of the meeting to say a word i of the Communist Party of Great Brit follows: “This day is regarded by most Party members and there is the utmost reluctance on their part to sell on such an occasion.” ‘ This shows that neither the speakers of the day nor the of the meeting, nor the Party comrades present at the demons understood the political importance of the London Daily Worker as a proletarian mass instrument against imperialism. We face the same situation here. Our Daily Worker very seldom receives mention by leading speakers at mass demonstrations and mee(- ings. Our leading committees in the districts give insufficient atten- tion to the Daily Worker campaign. As a result the Party membership is not activized in support of their paper and the masses of workers we must reach do not even know that we have a Daily Worker.
