NEGRO REFORMISTS, FAKING FIGHT ON UNEMPLOYMENT, PLAN PARADE Under Old Stand-by of “Race Loyalty” They Conspire to Divert Negro Masses from Militant Struggle for Relief By CYRIL BRIGGS NEW YORK.—In their treachero attempt to divert the Negro masses from the rey jonary struggle es hunger system relief and unemploy- ance, the Harlem Negro reformists are arranging for a parade in Harlem on April 15th under the misleading slogan of a fight against unemployment. Admitting that thousands of Negro workers are walking the streets of Harlem unable to secure work, that the sidewalks “are littered with fur- niture” of workers dispossessed by Negro and white landlords, that “children are crying for bread—and there is no money to buy it,” these fakers are attempting to narrow] down the struggle against unem- Playment to a boycott movement against white merchants in Harlem, which would obtain at best a few thousand jobs for the tens of thou- sands unemployed Negro workers in Harlem. The boycott movement is offered as a complete solution for the tragic situation of the Negro un- employed, and as a substitute for joint revolutionary mass action of Negro and white workers in the struggle for unemployment relief. It is in reality an attempt to utilize the misery of the masses for the strengthening of the Negro petty bourgeoisie under the old fake slogan of “race loyalty” which, in the schemes of the Negro business men behind the movement means loyalty to themselves, loyalty to Negro busi- ness. The Communist Party is :ndiffer- keepers 0 | Neit | loyalt | loyalty | either |N kers | perience that | other busines: press them white la © their cl: Negro or v we vite landiords and n will rob and op- just as intensively gro as id other exploiters. fakers is not to Negro unemployed. jobs in Harlem stores i the misery of the tens of thousands of unemployed in Ha Their real aim is to smash the growing unity |of white and Negro workers in the joint struggle against starvation and evictions, and for immediate relief | and unemployment insurance | The Negro workers must repudiate | all traitors who would divert them | from a real struggle against starva- | tion.

In order to overcome these’ short- comings, the conference decided to hold another preparatory meeting before the United Front Conference on May 17. .This will be held on April 17. Resolutions were passed urging all working-class organiza- tions to elect delegates to this prep- aratory meeting as well as to the United Front Conference on May 17. Yesterday’s meeting was called to order by Comrade Welsh. Comrade William Patterson was elected chair- man. Comrade Welsh made a re- port on the work of the L. S. N. R. and pointed out the necessity of pushing the work of mobilizing the white and Negro workers, native and foreign born, for resistance to the terror campaign against the foreign born and Negro workers, and of bringing out huge masses oh May Day for demonstration against this persecution, against wage-cuts and starvation, against imperialist war. Comrade Edwards, reporting for the Young Liberators, declared the conference must be linked up with the question of unemployment and Pointed out that the boss terror against the Negro and foreign-born workers is being intensified because of the attempt of the bosses to solve the economic crisis at the expense of the working class. Others who took the floor include Comrade Gordon of the Council of Working Women, Comrade Berner of the German Bureau, Comrade Sklar of the Novy Mir, all pledging mili- tant support in the struggle for Ne- gro rights and against deportations and lynching.
