He pretends ignorance of the notorious fact that Libria and Abyssinia ase governed by pup- i governments doing the bidding of various rialist governments: the United States in iberia, the United States. England, Italy and 2. He naively states: » Thad... a firm belief in * mn that, from Abyssinia, sole spot in der a fake show of “duty.” The Pittsburgh Press on June 28 sees the ter- ror, but fails to tell its readers that it is exclu- sively against the striking miners, The headline reads: “2 Dead, 55 Wounded, Toll of Violence in the Coal Strike.” An effort to make the readers think the strike is the thing that is “terrifying.” The fact is, the two dead were on the side of the striking miners; of the 55 wounded, 50 were of the striking miners, and about 5 deputies, who despite the guns in their hands threatening and attempting to kill miners, were resisted and shoved away. In the Wildwobd section, miners who were shot and left lying on the ground for 30 to 40 min- utes have very little complaint to make. They don’t confplain about their injuries or about the danger of death from the company gunmen. Here's their complaint: ‘It’s a damn shame I didn’t have a cup of coffee. We could put up a much better fight if we had a little food in cur stomachs.” Mass picketing, working class solidarity, the spirit of fight the miners have will defeat the Section Buro to check up on Negro work and to see that the Negro Department is functioning. Failure to do this is itself an underestimation of the importance, as well as neglect of this ex- tremely important phase of Party activity. The Section Negro Work Directors should call meetings of the Unit Negro Work Directors at least every two weeks. The Section Negro Work Direttors are not responsible for the Negro Work of the Section. This responsibility lies with the section as a whole. But the section Negro Work Directors have the responsibility of supervising and stimulating Negro Work. Theirs is the duty of checking up on the other departments of the but in supplying what the miners now need above all else to win their strike—food, and other forms of relief. The evicted miners need their families are facing starvation is well proven by the statement made by Mr. Billing, manager Section, carefully watching to see that the direc- tives in Negro work are carried into life by those departments to which they are directly applic- able. It must not be forgotten that Negro work is an inseparable part of the general Party work. The Section Negro Work Director must see it is regarded as such. At the same time, the peculi- arities arising out of the National oppression of the Negro masses must be given due considera- tion in our approach to the Negro masses and in the formulation of all questions of Negro work. Unit Negro Work Directors are not only neces- sary, but they are an extremely important link in the section apparatus; through them the di- tents to house their families. The families are game in the fight. They come out on ihe picket line, they face the guas, they go hungry ard complain very little. They must have tents whe” they are evicted. The miners must have food. Every worker should rally behind the campaigi for relief, and there is no time to lose, a day or rectives in Negro work are to be carried down to the Negro masses.
