Fish and Negro Ref ormists in Move to Betray Struggle Against Lynching Unite in Desperate At tempt to Divert Negro Masses From March 28 Demonstrations Against Deportations, Lynchings By CYRIL BRIGGS NEW YORK.—In an attempt once more to divert the Negro masses from militant struggle against lynching, unemployment and starvation, the Harlem Negro reformists of all stripes and degrees of treachery have united under the influence of fascist Fish to call a “religious and public meet- ing” for Sunday, March 29. This move is a deliberate attempt to di- vert the Negro masses of Harlem from participation in the March 28 demon- strations against deportations and lynching. While the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, the International Labor | wage-cuts, the Harlem fakers are at~ tempting to stem the rising revolt of the masses with a meeting “in honor of his Imperial Majesty Haile Selasse First, Emperor of Abyssinia and his son, the prince recently born.” Huge} leaflets sre being distributed by the| thousands in Harlem, promising the masses an “unfolding of national and international flags, prayer in seven languages, presenting of the bible in original manuscripts,” and what have you.

March 23.—In} line with the bloody terrorism of the| crease in lynchings of Negroes, the fascisation of the capitalist state, the state legislature of Michigan passed | the Death Penalty Bill which comes up to @ state referendum on April 6. This bill gives an additional weapon to the bosses in their savage cam- paign against the revolutionary movement of the working class. The bosses and their kept press, who are this is a necessary measure to com- bat crime. But the most bloody crime of the bosses and their hired assas- sins against the workers go unpun- ished, not because they haven't ade- quate Jaws, but on the contrary the laws are used to protect them. The underworld gangsters work in the closest alliance with the authorities and are being hired by the bosses to slug and kill militant workers whenever they engage in the struggle against capitalism, No millionaire criminal, no matter how horrible a crime he may com- iit, especially if it is against the working class, ever swings in the Sallows, while the workers, especially Negro workers, are being hung and electricuted on the slightest pretext, The proposed death penalty is a campaign of the bosses by legal as well as illegal means to crush the growing revolutionary movement of the workers, the growing solidarity of the Negro and white workers in the struggle against capitalism, Come to the mass meeting Sunday, March 29, 2 p.m, at the Danceland Auditerium on Woodward near For- rest, and demonstrate and protest against this bloody measure of the bosses directed against the workers, 1931 CALENDAR FREE!

The Independent Shoe Workers Union, through its secretary, F. G. Biedenkapp, has issued a statement calling upon all workers to join in the demonstrations on March 28, The statement declares: “The vicious attack; now being di- rected against the foreign born work- | ers is directly connected: with, every striggle of the American workers against starvation wages, long hours, speed-up, etc, and the demand for unemployment insurance and the fight for Work or Wages. Last, but | not least, the attack is direeted against the building of revolutionary industrial unions under the leadership of the Trade Union Unity League. | “The New York shoe workers have every reason to remember the at- tempt of the U. S. Department of Labor and the New York police de- partment to register and fingerprint the workers of the orgenized shops of the Independent Shoe Workers Union just before the dastardly lock- out of 1929. This schente of the bos- | ses to frighten the workers into sub- | mission failed only because of the solidarity of the workers and their militant Union. “Workers everywhere must protest against the attack upon the foreign born workers by demonstrating Maych 28 in a militant manner. “We must organize and fight every attempt to fingerprint or register workers.
