These treacherous reformists are also opposed to the struggle against nching and persecution of Negro and foreign-born workers. They are | at present in open co-operation with the slave-driving boss lynchers of Alabama, who are railroading eight Negro youths to the electric chair on a framed-up charge of raping two | white prostitutes. At their mass meeting last Sunday in Abyssinia | Baptist Church they raised not a single protest against this latest out- rage of the Southern bosses against | the Negro workers. In none of the leaflets and papers they have issued have they uttered the slightest pro- test. Their newspaper organs, the | Amsterdam News, the New York Age, | the Negro World, ete. have either | maintained absolute silence on this | murderous frame-up or have ex- | pressed the views of the Southern | bosses. The Negro World has ig- | nored altogether this case involving the lives of eight Negro youths, all | under 20 years of age, and of the | ninth, a 14-year-old lad, whose trial has been postponed. Negro workers! Repudiate the| traitors! Do not be deceived by | their slogans of “race loyalty,” of | which their conception is loyalty of parasites. Join hands with the rev- | olutionary Negro and white workers | in militant demonstrations on May First in Union Square against star- vation, wage-cuts, persecutions, for | defense of the Soviet Union, the | fatherland of ALL workers, and for | Africa, the West Indies and the | Southern Black Belt to determine | and control their own form of govy- ernment.

The women get wages be- tween eight and ten dollars a week, in a few cases a little more. Most of these women are the sole support of their family.

The women workers are forced to do the work! done before by men for half the wages.
