Government in the) ¥® Wovr starve wom Suppression of the Negro Masses bes By WILLIAM WILSON. T= anti-lynching campaign of the Communist Party of the U. S. and the League of Struggle tr Negro Rights and the nation-wide sup- port given it by the Negro masses has driven the Negro reformists, particularly of the “radical” group into a flurry of excitement. More and More loudly they emphasize the necessity of in- creasing their petitions to the United States Government and “asserting pressure” upon pathetic” senators and representatives in Congress for the passing of a federal lynching law. These “extremely effective measures” for the curbing of lynching receive the “firmest’’ sup- port from the inter-racial committees particu- larly in the South where the reformist National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple and the semi-fascist National Urban League tells us the composition of these committees con- sist of the “best people,” doctors, lawyers, editors, judges, legislators and even governors, all of whom are much “disturbed” at the “unaccount- able” new wave of lynching and mob terror against the Negro masses. Bosses Fear Militancy of Negro Masses. ‘There can be no doubt about it. The anxiety of the “best people” is real, but they are not concerned about the passage of a Federal Anti- Lynching Bill. They are, however, seriously disturbed by the growing militancy of the N masses. All of the Negro reformists and ré tionaries, big and little, have been pressed into service. The best known and best trusted reactionaries have been sent on international missions either to quell the geowing unrest of the exploited and oppressed Negro toilers on an international scale, or to prepare the way for a further penetration of American imperialism into Negro countries or both. Such were the tasks of the commissions upon which Dr. Russa Moton, the Dean of Negro reactionaries.and. also inci- dentally Dean of Tuskagee University, Alabama, Charles S. Johnson of Fisk University and George Haynes of the Inter-denominational Church Council served in Haiti, Liberia and South Africa respectively. But in surveying the treacherous activities of these individual tools of American imperialism and even the larger activities of the reformist bourgeois and petty-bourgeois organizations; in reviewing the increasingly widespread lynching campaign of the fascist Ku Klux Klan and the American Legion organizations and the sancti- monious lies “deploring these horrors” which emanate from the ranks of the liberal wing of the American bourgeoisie and of the activities of the American Government with’ reference to these incidents, it is particularly important that we place the performance of these groups of betrayers and deluders of the Negro masses in their correct: perspective. The Negro masses must be taken behind the scenes in order that they may see and be well aware of the game which is being played with the object of holding them fast to the ideology of the master class. Want More Scraps of Paper. They, must be shown the social political sig- nificance of the maneuvers of the bourgeoisie nd the Negro “leaders” who are so zealously petitioning for a Federal Anti-Lynching Bill. The 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, written into the Federal Constitution after the civil war ‘were to guarantee all of the rights of citizens to the Negro masses. These have been nullified by grious class and anti-Negro legislation in vir- tually every state of the union. Yet these same Negro “leaders” who “protest” the failure of the government to enforce these “guarantees” are seeking the addition of another such innocuous Jaw. What game are these Negro reformers play- ing with the government? And what directives are the government giving in the matter of the Suppression of the Negro masses? The United States government takes its place 4m the front rank of the imperialist agencies, formulating, propaganding. and disseminating the bourgeois “racial superiority” ideology. This is but natural, since as the Executive Committee of the “59” owners of. America, one of the tasks of the government must necessarily be the for- mulation of the line to be followed by the cor- rupt bureaucracy of labor, the fascist organiza- the anti- tions, the reformist elements, the prostitute press and the professional bourgeois ideologists in dealing with the Negro masses. Tools of Ruling Class. These imperialist agencies in keeping with their program of division of labor, popularize the official state policy, work out tactical measures surreptitiously or openly according to their na- ture, fermenting acts of provocation which ter- minate in race riots, lynching bees, arson, and even extend to the wholesale driving of Negroes from their homes as has happened this year in the states of Delaware, Oklahoma and Texas. The subterfuges, lies, maneuvers and damna- ble hypocrisy, which feature the refusal of state and federal governments, to proceed against the fascist mobs, and murderers of Negro workers and farmers is proof of their approval, of their connivance with, and support for these agencies while their direct guidance of the activities of these tools of American imperialism is equally obvious. In laying down its line of procedure for the suppression of the Negro masses, the government proceeds openly, particularly is this true in per- iods of sharpening social contradictions. For example, we have recently seen the open and notorious insult offered to the Negro “‘Gold-Star Mothers.” When the Negro mothers were car- ried to France to visit the graves of the sons they had given to be butchered in the imper- ialist world struggle, under the illusion that it was a fight for the “right of oppressed nation- alities to have a voice in their own government,” they were forced to agree to the most humil- iating segregation in transit, and at the hotels where they weré quartered. The separation of the Negro working women from the white work- ing class mothers, was but a consistent step in the policy of the United States government, with reference to the working class. Thus did the government publicly proclaim its endorsement of the segregation of the Negro toiling masses. Government Jim Crows and Segregation. The segregation and discrimination imposed upon the Negro employees of the government, particularly in the various departments of gov- ernment, in the National Capitol is another ex- ample of the manner in which~the state. lays down the line to be followed where the Negro masses are concerned. The Jim Crowing of Negro soldiers, the shutting of the doors of military, naval and aviation schools in the face of Negro candidates, the mass trial and “legal” murder of Negro soldiers who only defended their lives in the honor of their women, the crea- tion and partial subsidization of a Jim Crow College—Howard—are all notable cases of the leading role played by the United States govern- ment in the suppression of the social, political advancement of the Negro masses. The reflection of this policy of the government in the educational matters is readily to be seen in a greater or lesser degree, in every state of the union without exception. On every side they seek to impress the white maSses with the myth of “white race superiority.” The line is followed by the bureaucracy of labor, in the ex- clusion of Negroes from the trade union; the mur- derous attacks of the fascist, Ku-Klux-Klan and American Legion, increase of the provocative anti-race activities of the prostitute press are outstanding examples. In industry the discrim- ination operates in many ways, of which the color wage scale—the paying of Negro labor a smaller wage than white labor on the same job is a glaring example. The government now turns to a more extensive and intensive use of Negro reformist and reac- tionary elements. These are now being utilized to quiet the growing militancy of the native bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie in Haiti and the South African natives, and to prepare the way for a League of Nations mandate over Liberia, Nigeria and West Africa. The offensive of the American government against the Negro Masses never ceases; open and concealed, it ramifies every phase of the economic-political life of the Negro toilers. Their struggle for so- cial, national emancipation leads inevitably to a struggle against the federal and state gov- ernments. - Fight Albanian Fascism! ' Statment by Albanian Buro of the Central Com- mittee, Communist Party, U. 8. A. To the Albanian Workers in the United States ef America! economic crisis in the United States is deepening from day to day. The wage cuts, lay-offs, are on the daily agenda. Thé number of the unemployed is increasing at a quick tempo. Millions of unemployed workers profe all the onsequences of the crisis. Millions of families are without food or shelter in the cruel winter. The Albanian workers in the United States, which are a part of the American working class, fre also involved in the crisis. Not only against the other foreign born workers generally, today the bosses started a special offensive in order to. divide the working class, to put the foreign born workers in a still lower position from the @conomic point. In general, the capitalists today throw the enitre burden on the shoulders of the working class in order to maintain their high profits; in order to overcome the economic crisis. As among the other sections of the foreign- born workers in the United States, also among Albanian workers, bourgeois, petty bourgeois ‘Rationalist elements and traitors of the working lass, in close connection with the leaders of American capitalism, try to tie the Albanian ‘workers to the wagon of the American bourg- | eoisie and for the interests of the fascist regime 34 Albania, led by the dictator Zagol and his @lique of Tirana, which represent the interests ‘of the Italian imperialists and the Bellino bour- geoisie of Albania. ‘The Albanian workers know very well who are the Albanian fascists in the United States, who work hand in hand with the American capital- ists and the Albanian fascists. They know who 4s Faik Konitza and his clique. But this is not enough. These are not the only enemies of the ome workers, who must be fought in the i States, there are other enemies in this country. Enemies that live on the backs of the workers and differ from the fascists only p their tactics and in their phraseology. ‘The CP.U.S.A. comes openly to the Albanian and exposes those enemies of the work- oon who hide themselves under revolution- The ©.P.U.8.A. denounces openly the ex-premier of the Albanian Re- ists; as one of the hypocritical enemies of the working class. Fan Noli came to fight openly for Albanian fascism, the Albanian bourgeoisie. Fan Noli at one time said that in order to have the support of the Albanian masses, showed a Communist face, today is issuing in the United States a semi-religious newspaper in which he brings forward a bourgeois republican program. Under revolutionary phrases, Fan Noli hides the substance of the republic that he had in mind. Fan Noli and his paper are trying to hinder the fight against the fascist government of Mussolini-Zagoliano, who are starving the masses Of Italian and Albanian workers. He denied completely the unity of the workers and farmers of the Balkan States. He denied the struggle of the Balkan workers against the fascist governments in the Balkans. Fan Noli, from the first day he came to America, deserted the revolutionary movement for a Soviet of the workers and peasants of the Balkans. With a rosary and a cross in one hand and revolution- ary phrases in the other, Fan Noli tries today to fool the Albanian workers, pretending to be a revolutionist and denies having anything to do with Soviet ideas. Fan Noli and his paper never did take a stand in regard to the struggle of the working class in the United States. Fan Noli hopes to obtain the support of the Amer- ican bourgeoisie for his plan of rebuilding a bourgeois Albanian republic in place of the act- ual fascist regime in Albania. This shows clearly that his aim is not a government of workers and farmers, but a government of the Albanian bourgeoisie, the Albanian rich peasants lined up with his church, the maintenance of the capitalist system, the maintenance of Albania in a state of slavery under the imperialist powers. Fan Noli today in practice is an enemy of the working class, The Communist Party of the United States calls upon all Albanian workers, exposing not only the hunger government of Hoover, Nino and Zagol, the deserters from the revolutionary movement, K. Boshujaku, and Bedri Pejani, but also Fan Noli, who went into the camp of the enemies of the working class, who became a tool of the capitalist system. Albanian workers!

Demand Extreme Penalties for Russian Sabotagers sya delegates representing 18,000 workers organized by 40 organizations, attended the city conference of the W.LR. local held Sunday, Dec. 7, 1930: ‘The:conference was opened by Beatrice Carlin, secretary of the Local W.IR., who pointed out that the task before the conference is to or- ganize solidarity actions for the German and other working class struggles abroad and the rising tide of the struggles of the American work- ing class, the looming strikes and hunger ‘march- es which will be organized during this winter in order to demand unemployed insurance, work or wages from the State legislatures and govern- ment. bE Sam Nessin, leader of the New York unem- ployed movement was-elected to the chair. After the appointment of various committees, Comrade Berg, secretary of the German Department, drew Tessons from the strike of 140,000 metal workers of Berlin. The significance of this movement was, that it was the forerunner of those move- ments by which the German working class is inzreasingly opposing the Young Plan and the fascist menace. New struggles are growing in Germany, Eng- land and in Latin America. Workers of New York must organize to be ready by creating a permanent mass organization for the support of working class strikes and struggles. John J. Ballam, secretary of the F.8.U., pointed out that the war danger, and especially the dan- ger of an imperialist intervention against the Soviet Union is today, considering the growing intensity of the Anti-Soviet campaign all over the world, and in the U. S. of special importance for the workers of New York to fight against. The trial of the Industrial Party, in which the foreign imperialists were linked up with the counter-revolutionary bourgeoisie is a clear indi- cation of the maturity and menacing character of the war preparations. Sam Nessin gave an account of the work of the unemployed committees of Greater New York and of the new plans to lead the unemploy- ed into the struggles against the capitalist class on the basis of concrete demands to be put for- ward to the city, State and national govern- ments. In this struggle for unemployed insurance, the W.LR. will have to play an important role. Al- ready the First National Convention of the Un- employed held on July 4th, saw the W.LR. active. Nearly one thousand delegates were fed and shel- tered by the W.LR., and actively helped by the W.LR. on their way to the conference, saw the necessity and the importance of a working class relief organization working on the basis of work- ing class struggle and solidarity instead of bour=- geois charity. The role of the W.LR. is to help to organize the unemployed. The working class organizations, in view. of the Hunger Marches and the tremendous tasks be- fore the unemployed movement during this win- ter must make the greatest ous to build the W.LR. ‘The appeal of Comrade Nessin was enthusi- astically received by the delegates. A collection was made from the floor as a start for the cam- paign. Louis Gibarti gave an account in reference to the international activities of the organization— its importance in the new strategy of mass strikes and mass struggles. The German and Scottish Hunger Marches, the recent metal work- ers strike, the strike of 130,000 textile workers in the Northern French textile area this Spring, workers of America and to organize into the revolutionary Trade Union Unity League, to fight for the social insurance bill, for work or ‘wages, calls the American Albanian workers to fight in support of the; real revolutionary move- ment of the workers and poor farmers of Al- bania who are fighting under the leadership of the Communist Party with the aim of over- throwing the fascist dictatorship of Zago, the Albanian bourgeoisie, the capitalist system, and build a workers and farmers government. Down with the hunger government of Hoover! Down with fascist governments of Mussolini on Zagol. Long live the Communist Party of the United States! Long live the Communist Party of Albaniat. The Anthracite By OLGA GOLD. FIVE-YEAR and seven-month no-strike agreement which was signed by the fascist Lewis machine of the United Mine Workers of America with the anthracite operators went into effect on Sept. Ist. It paves the way for in- jereased speed-up in the mines, wage cuts, great- '@ means of tying the miners to the company union of John Lewis and officialdom. The agreement was loudly hailed by the Lewis machine and the operators, and had the whole- hearted suporpt of and active asistance of the capitalist press, as “insuring prosperity” for the anthracite miners. Today the -miners’ are al- ready feeling the effects of itis black betrayal. The miners are being forced to load bigger cars and cleaner coal. More accidents are tak- ing place every day. One general complaint in every colliery is the lack of proper ventilation, the fact that the miners are compelled to work in smoke all day long from ‘constant shooting from which the dread disease Miners Asthma develops. Almost every day you read of new explosions and accidents in this or that colliery. | Even government statistics state that 49 miners Jost their lives during the month of August in the anthracite. These are the results of an in- creased spéed-up and lack of safety devices. The operators: and the Lewis gang are responsible for this wholesale murder. This sell-out agreement has virtually done away with pay for all work, such as the moy- ing of rock, the setting of timber, laying of own road, and pipe for the air. We see an example at the Grassy Lake Colliery, where the miners and laborers are now forced to lay their own track, and furnish their own wrenches, and lay the la ze pipe for the air, which runs the jack hammer, for which the miner must pay $165, besides paying five cents on the dollar for using the air. Another instance of how the miners are being robbed by the coal operators is the docking system, where the miners are bting compelled to load 2700 lbs. for a ton, the 700 Tbs, has been taken for impurities. But since jer unemployment, and the check-off system as | and the Ruhr strike were the outstanding achievements of the W.LR. ‘These struggles, which are parts of the working class fight against unemployment, wage cuts, rationalization and fascism can only be supported by the creation of specific organs of the working class for this struggle. The active help. of the reformist unions to fascism necessitates the creation and strength- ening of the revolutionary unions all over the country. Z The specific role of the W.LR. is to be the commissary department of the fighting prole- tariat. While the bosses’ onslaught istgoing on against the workers in the capitalist countries, the im- Perialist powers are preparing to crush the power station of the world revolution, the Soviet Union. The Industrial Party is a concrete indication of the extent and development of the Anti-Rus- sian war preparations. We must demand the extreme penalties to these sabotagers, who plot- ted against the first Workers’ State, the Soviet Union. Beatrice Carlin, secretary of the New York Local proposed the creation of a permanent city committee, which will take charge of all working class struggles in the metropolitan area and in- cluding the Hunger Marches to Albany. The city committee of 25 will have to organize sub-com- + all working class organizations to carry through their tasks in the different fields, such as the Preparation of the needle trades strike with the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, prep- arations for the unemployed Hunger Marches with the Unemployed Council, the preparation of the “Day of the Working Class Child” with the youth organizations, the preparation of the solidarity with the growing German struggles with the leading German workers’ organizations in this country, Resolutions, for the: defense of the Soviet Union, calling for solidarity in the needle trades strike, unemployed movements, as well as for the immediate liberation of Mabel Husa, Ailene Holbes,’ imprisoned W.LR. scout lenders, were passed, mittées which should affiliate themselves to help » Miners and the Revolutionary Union the signing of the agreement the coal. operators are now taking 1100 Ibs. for impurities. Collieries Being Mechanized. ‘The coming of the coal conveyor and the belt, system into the anthracite means going out of the collieries for thousands of miners. Take the Birds Eye Colliery in Olyphant, Pa., where the introduction of the coal conveyor has caused the miner to load 6 cars of coal for $5.28, where formerly they loaded 4 cars of coal and received $7.36, and caused the throwing out of the col- lieries of one-third of the miners. Increased Terror. It is navural that hand in hand with the worsening of the miners conditions and the in- creased desire of the miners to struggle, if given the proper leadership, goes the ever-sharpening terror, The operaters are using every means at their disposal to prevent. the revolutionary move- ment to lead the miners in struggle for their daily needs, All meetings called by the Communist Party, or by revolutionary unions, or the International Labor Defense are smashed by the police force. Even meetings of such “innocent” organizations as the Lithuanian Literary Society have had their meetings broken up, simply because once a Communist organizer was present in the hall. Another time because Bimba, a known Commu- nist, was announced to speak. Now they. are using the method of instructing the owners of halls to refuse to rent for any such meetings. The police are even terrorizing the only news stand operator that carries the Daily Worker for sale, threatening him that if he did not dis- continue selling this paper he would be driven from his stand. Reaction of Miners. The reaction of the miners to this new sellout has been from the very beginning one of oppo- stion. At the Tri-District Convention: held in | Scranton last August, where in spite of the fascist Lewis mobilization of his thugs and gun- men, and also the fact that there was no organ- izational force of the revolutionary union, there were 129 delegates out of 493 voting against the ratification of the agreement. “Throughout the anthracite local unions, there are resolutions against the check-off system. In Plains the entire local voted against the check- off system. In Olyphant 65 per cent’ voted against. At, the District No. 7 Convention held in Lansford last October, the delegates of many locals were instructed to fight against the check off system, and here the delegates threatened to call a rump convention. The district officials of the U.M.W.A., sensing the growing opposition, immediately sent all of their forces to the local union meetings in order to intimidate the miners and thus prevent them from expressing their dissatisfaction, In view of the increa§ed terror. and also the failure especially of our revolutionary union to carry on enough organizational work.to crystal- ze this reaction into organized ‘struggle, the op- position did not take on any -organized clear cut form. It was rather in most instances pas- sive resistance. Unemployment is increasing daily, the condi- tions in the mines are becoming . unbearable, there is the introduction of the policy of firing © 1 miners, and hiring new help.» The U.M.W.A: is more openly taking the role of a company union through the collection of the check-off by the fire bosses, mine managers, and even in some instances the coal and iron police. All this has definitely shown to the miners the role of ‘the U.M.W.A. and now this opposition to the agree- ment is taking on a new form, from passive re- sistance to more active struggle. Strikes are taking place in many collieries in protest against the worsening conditions. These local strikes are the foreruners of real 1 2ss struggles in the anthracite. ‘The great danger that confronts the anthra- cite miners and against which they must be on their guard, is the petty grafter officialdom, and the .agents .of the. Peabody Coal Corporation, ‘the Farrington-Fishwick machine of Ilinois, who are trying to utilize this opposition ‘in order to mislead the miners. A glaring example can be Rae eee ere cramer an ti teen: con- Deottie—May Puzzled Dear Jorge:—Let me tell you about my poor little friend, Dorothy Maybelle Jones-Smith, She is just a sweet young married girl awfully interested in her charming home, and all that, but at the same time she believes every woman ought to keep up with the times, and not be ig~ norant about world affairs. Dottie May noticed some time ago that some- thing seemed to be happening in Russia. So she studied all the leading newspapers. She read the news stories, to get the facts, and then she turned to the editorials, so as_to form her opinions. Well, of’ course, at frst she was shocked to learn that those eight men, actually fine men, foo, educated, and. all that sort of thing,—that they had been tortured to make them confess things. Dottie May shuddered to read about their eshen-faced appearance, and that they were even then “already dead men.” And then, Jorge, while Dottie May still had tears in her eyes; and was waking up in the night wondering whether those poor fellows had been tortured any more, what should she read but that they had been let off, and were not “dead men” at all. She was so happy for them, Jorge—until this was absolutely shattering to Dottie May—she read that they were not fine fellows at all, and they hadn't been tortured,— not even a teeny bit!! But that those defend- ants had fixed the whole thing up beforehand with that terrible police group—you know, with those weird letters for a name—and those eight men hadn't been in a speck of danger, ever, but were just play-acting all the time. Dottie May’s state of mind now reminds me of old Jason Bledsoe, one of our sturdy West Virginia mountaineers. Old Jason had always been a believer in the Bible, and a consistent church-goer, until a new high school principal came to town and gave Jason books to read, The result was that Jason lost his faith and be- came an atheist. About that time an uproar about the discov- ery of Tutankamen’s tomb in Egypt aroose. Jason sat in the village store and listened to the chatter about the fabulous tomb. At last he spat: and demanded: “Do you fellers mean to tell me you believe thar’s a Egupt?” Well, Dottie May is beginning to wonder whether there is a Moscow! ANDREA.

Lagging Behind. The revolutionary movement did not succeed in mastering its task in the anthracite, it has played no role in mobilizing the miners and leading them in their struggles. The whole work carried on in the anthracite was record making work, we have substituted general propaganda, speech making, occasionally the issuing of a leaflet, for persistent daily ac- tivities for ‘developing the struggle and building the union. Tight wing.opportunism and left wing sect- arianism has greatly contributed to the failure of building our movement in the anthracite, For the sake of brevity we will enumerate a few of our methods. P For a period of a few weeks prior to any con- vention, one or two were sent into the. field to build groups and to get delegates to send to the convention. Here and there locals were organ- ized, but the Mine, Oil cnd Smelter Workers In- dustrial Union never made an_ effort to follow the work up, and then before another convention there was a repetition of the same work, We have met.a miner in Ashley who claimed that he has paid initiation fee twice into our union, but was never called to a union meeting, We have criminally played around with the slogan “Strike on Sept First,” we have even talked about this strike and issued the slogan in our leaflets as late as last July, but at the same time failed to carry on a preparatory organiza- tional work, which would convince the miners that we are willing and able to defend their every day interests. The whole work of the revo- lutionary union was a cloud of generalities, here we may note that the union hasn’t.any concrete demands for the anthracite miners. The united front from below has only re- mained a phrase on paper. In spite of the fact that the anthracite is the last stronghold of the Lewis machine, we have completely abandoned the work of carrying oh the struggle inside the U.M.W.A. The very fact that among the 129 delegates at the Tri-District Convention who openly demonstrated their opposition to the Lewis gang, we did not have even a single con- tact to give this opposition the proper guidance, or for instance a comrade who enjoys tho cons fidence of hundreds of miners in District Nine has failed to attend his local union for months 7} at a time, while at the same time delegates of| this local led the opposition in the recent Dis trict Nin convention: Present Policy: Not, until a few months ago did the militants in the field ‘earnestly discuss and analyze the methods of work, and’ work out the policy which, gives us a base for the developing of dur Movement and building the union. ‘We are concentrating today on given collieries, with the development of struggles for the every, day demands of the miners and the main task is to build broad committees of action in the mines, These action committees are composed of members of’ the U.M.W.A. and members of the revolutionary Mine, Oil and Smelter Workers Industrial Union. They have their specific de- mands in the given colliery centered around the general demands of the M.O.S.W.LU. ‘The cen- tral task of the committee of action is to develop the struggle and also to expose the role of the company union and to win over the miners for men pecenie in bnagg real union,
