Editor, Daily Worker: Yesterday I went out to Hum- boldt park to see the celebration of | the tenth anniversary of the so-cal-| led “victory” of the Polish army! over the Bolsheviks in 1920. | On the way out I passed through | the Polish section and saw a lot of | old men, women and children being mobilized by the priests at each catholic church, Those people which were mostly workers had to walk in the parade for about three miles in the hot.sun, while the priests and business men rode in automobiles. Workers Forced Into It. Most of the people did not listen to the speeches but went off and sat down under a shady tree, The capitalist politicians and the militar- ist General Parker used the occasion to lecture them on how to be good docile slaves to the church and the! capitalist system. Shanahan (speaker of the Illinois house of representa- tives) told them the most impor- tant thing to do was to practice their religion, go to church regularly and support the priests. Anti-Soviet Speeches. Governor Harding of Iowa told them that a lot of people were in- terested in where they were coming from or came from than in where they were going, which is another way of saying “if you don’t like this country, why don’t you go back where you came from.” But the most ‘significant thing HT TreE RS E-_ Feary rs ‘xX 32a E Force Polish Workers Into ti-Soviet Meet happened when he said “the great- est mistake the Soviet government made was the attitude it took to- ward religion” and only three or four applauded. He was so disap- pointed with the applause (or rather lack of it) that after he paused for a moment he shouted “do you agree with me?” And still no applause. Politicians Fail. I thought myself he would get a big hand as these people were re- ligious and came right from the churches. But it proves that even the most backward and religious workers don’t believe the lies the capitalist politicians tell them about the Soviet government. Slander Negro Soldiers. Parker, the militarist, slandered the Negro soldiers that fought in the world war. He said when he was going up to the front—which is a lie as no general ever got that far—he met Negro soldiers hurry- ing back towards the rear and he asked them where they were going. The soldier said he wasn’t interested in where he was going, he was only from. There being no Negroes present he felt safe in slandering them. After being insulted in such a man- ner it ought to be a lesson to the foreign born and the Negro workers, But I as a native born American know that they (the bosses) care no more about the American worker. —James Prendergast. “Farmer-Labor” Corpse Revived to Weaken interested in where he was coming | 3, 1930 Page Three + Communist Party of Brazil | Calls on Sailors to Redouble Their Revolutionary Activity Shows Why Sailors Were Discharged From Fleet—For Communist Work | The following manifesto, ad-;especially with the comrades who dressed to the sailors of the Bra-| remain in the fleet.

An anti-lynching protest meeting called by the American Negro Labor Congress at the Mt, Olive Baptist Chureh (Negro) in this city had to be held in the street when at the last minute the preacher refused the use of his church to Negro and white workers to protest the brutal crime of lynching. The meeting was held directly in front of the church with speakers denouncing the preacher for his cowardly, treacherous attitude. The police and the American Legion get- ting word that there was an anti- lynching protest meeting soon ap- peared and attempted to terrorize the workers. This failing they pro- ‘ceeded to yank the speakers from the stand. The organizers of the meeting then invited the workers to the Labor Lyceum, a fifteen minutes walk from the church, Fully half of the crowd, of one thousand, fol- lowed the speakers to Labor Lyce- um where they heard Herbert New- ton, national organizer of the A, N, L.

His life has been threatened on two occasions by the A.
