BOSTON, Nov. 27.—Last Wednes- day I had occasion to attend a meet- ing .called by the National Equal) Rights League to protest the lynch- | ings of Negro workers in the South) and to prepare for the national Washington conference of the Na- tional Equal Rights League. ‘The audience was composed in the greatest majority of the congregation | of the Zion Church, where this meet- ing was held. The first speaker here was the| “socialist” faker, Alfred Baker Lewis, | and I wondered that he had the nerve to come to speak to Negroes} when the program of the “socialist” party hadn’t even the guts to men-/ tion the word “Negro” for fear of | losing the votes of some fat “lily- white’ boss. Naturally, he evaded the whole question of his Party's stand on the Negro question. Those of us at this meeting who ‘were members of the American Ne- gro Labor Congress (now the League of Struggle for Negro Rights) could not but help contrast this faker’s speech with what the program of our organization calls for, namely, that | the Negro and white workers in the South organize themselves into work- ers’ defense corps and physically combat lynchings. Next speaker was the Rev. C. C. Williams, pastor of Zion Church, who | devoted most of his speech to mak- | ing a collection and calling upon God to stop lynching. From hearing him speak it was so plain to see the role of the Negro Church, that it is using the race issue to get the Negro work- ers interested and then fill them with religious ideas and ask them to pray against lynching, and so on, and thus really keep them from fighting lynch- ing effectively. It was too bad to hear that splen- did fighter, Monroe Trotter, in his speech show how completely the lead- ership of the National Equal Rights League is in the hands of the reli- * gious institutions. Certainly after fighting like he has for so many years heyeasr he should know that only a militant fight, by uniting the workers, both Negro and white, against this terrible evil will lynch- ings be combatted. , The main theme of Mr. Trotter's speech was “Now that we have been granted an audience with the presi- dent we will be able to tell him face to face that we are against lynch- FIRST ANNUAL DAILY WORKER CALENDAR FOR 1931 Seven strikigg half-tone pictures of the class struggle never be- fore publshed, including: An unpublished picture of Lenin addressing Moscow workers.

The president of the local branch of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, J. W. Youngblood, who, with its secretary,. J. W. Dawson, was present at this meeting, got the floor and after pointing out the character of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, and that it called for united struggle of all Negro organizations against lynchings and race discrim- | ination, introduced a resolution which was passed unanimously, but later ignored by the misleaders in the Equal Rights League. tel € ee (Editor’s Note: The worker refers to Trotter as a splendid fighter, evi- dently having in mind his clash with President Wilson. William Monroe Trotter, however, is as much a traitor to the interests of the Negro masses, as much a peddilar of illusions as is Marcus Garvey, Du Bois, Randolph, Kelly Miller and the rest of the petty bourgeoisie, as witness his efforts to make the masses believe that Hoo- | ver will do anything to stop lynching terror of his class against the Ne- gro masses and his statement in his paper calling upon the masses to pray and bless the words which will be said to Hoover.)

This is the second deadly large | scale mine accident within five weeks in this state, and the nineteenth within the history of mining in this state. The death list now inciudes 506 names in major disasters, to say nothing of the regular weekly killing of individual miners by rock fall, premature blast, electrocution, etc. There has been a great speeding up of mine accidents all over the fields since the practical open shop condi- tions were instituted after the be- trayal of the miners’ strike by Lewis and Fishwick.

LONDON, England, Nov. 30.—The Scottish miners have called a strike of their 92,000 members, to start to- morrow.

The Scottish mine owners insisted that the eight-hour day continue! temporarily, whereupon negotiations | broke down. The Scottish reformist union leaders were forced to an- nounce the strike call for Monday following the morning shift. The revolutionary United Miners issued a strike call against wage-cuts, against the “spreadover,” for repudia- | tion of the conciliation machinery and | for formation of rank and file strike committees at all pits with the re- formist leaders exclud!d. The owners demand eight hours work with a daily wage of 7 shillings, 9 pence ($1.86) or seven and a half hours work with a wage of 7 shillings ($1.68).
