NEW WORK, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1991 CITY EDITION a, cae a “To Strike at Negro Masses They Strike at the Com- munist Party Telegrams from the South report: 1—A sudden increase of terroristic violence against the Negro share-croppers and workers, (really against the whole working clase, black and white) in the Birmingham section of Alabama. 2.—Warrants are issued for all Negro and white leaders of the Communist Party at Birmingham in an effort to suppress the Party. This new wave of terror comes on top of the assassinations of Negro share-croppers at Camp Hill, Alabama, and while the nine innocent Negro boys, framed up and sentenced to death at Scottsboro on false charges of “raping” two white prostitutes, are in the death cell. In the new wave of terror one more Negro has been assassinated by officers, at least one wounded and many arrested. ‘The newest excuse for stimulating the bloody campaign against the Negro masses is an alleged robbery accompanied by the shooting of three white women (“society girls’) in Shades Valley, near Birmingham. Only those who know the outrageous methods of oppression in the South will appreciate fully the false character of this excuse for a wholesale ter- rorization of Negroes. According to the statement of a white woman eoncerned in the affair, the robber’s face was black, but she noticed that his speech was pecullar—like that of an “educated” person—which, ac- cording to southern parlance, means nothing more than that the robber spoke like 2 white person and not like a Negro; and the robber’s hair was straight—not like that usual for a Negro. Therefore, according t6 the statement of the white woman herself, there is less reason to think that the crime was committed by a Negro than to think it was com- mitted: by a white man. There are many instances of recent months in which systematic efforts. were made to lay the blame upon Negroes for erlmes committed by white men. But the authorities have much more important business than catch- ing criminals—the business of strengthening of the war now being waged against the share croppers who are orgenizing to prevent swindling by white landlords, and against the ywhite and black working class. in the industriel region of Birmingham. The collapse of the cotton market, the stagnation and economic ruin of Alsbama agriculture and the depres- sion in industry, the effort of the white ruling class and public authori- ties to pass on the burden of the crisis to the shoulders of the toiling masses and especially to those of the Negroes, had already brought about the bloody man hunt against the members of the sbarecroppers’ union. It has also brought about the utilization of every excuse for a man hunt against Negroes in general. There is no stretch of ths imagination in saying that if the authorities knew the identity of the criminal in this “robbery” case, they would conceal the identity of any white crim- inal and would even help in his escape, in order to utilize a fictitious “Negro” crime to mobilize wider séctions of the population in support ef the ruling class war upon the exploited masses. A notable fact is that certain preachers and other cowardly Negro “eaders” of Birmingham have rushed‘forward, in the’midst.of this whole- sale terror against Negroes, to “offer their services” to the Negro-baiting police, supposedly to “catch the (individual) criminal,” but\really to curry favor with the white masters by giving moral support to the reckless shooting of Negroes which has already begun. . These Pes a “leaders” are a group working with the National Association for Ad- vancement of Colored People, and thélr action is the one advised ‘by the renegade “Negro leaders” Walter, White, William Pickens and the Rev- erend J. R. Bowen, of the NAACP. Walter White, and particularly Wil- lam Pickens, publicly called upon the white ruling class to suppress all efforts of the Negro masses to organize, especially those efforts which were inspired by the struggle to save the nine inhocent boys of Scotts- boro, while the Reverend Bowen of Chattanooga, speaking on behalf of the NAACP, definitely caused police raids and arrests upon many Negroes for their interest in the Scottsboro case. So the “moral support” of the present lynching drive in Alabama by renegade Negroes is in line with 2 consistent policy. 4 But the working masses understand that we cannot accept these flimsy lies about “Negro robbers,” used as an excuse for further mas- sacres of Negroes. And why the raids upon the Communist Party—on the excuse of a “robbery case”? Ever since the Gastonia strike in North Carolina in 1929, when the Communist Party successfully began the organization of southern white and Negro workers together in the same unions, all of the hate of the southern white ruling ciass against its Negro slaves was poured out with redoubled fury against the Communist Party. Southern newspapers and public officials openly began referring to the Communist Party as the “Nigger Party”—the Party that teaches the Negro not to stay in his place, and, worst of all, organizes and leads Negro and white workers together in struggle, breaking the isolation of the Negro. ‘Therefore, instinctively and by reason, the first step of the southern white landlords and capitalists when they wish to terrorize the Negro masses—is to strike with furious violence at the Communist Party. But the Party of the revolutionary Negro and white workers is ac- eustomed to such blows. The Communist Party will survive any efforts of the southern ruling class and its police to suppress it. The permanent and decisive point of all of this news from the South is that the Negro and white masses have really begun to stir into organization and action. ‘The theory and the hope of Pickens and other renegade Negro tools who wish to prosper in the profession of suppressing the Negro masses for the benefit of the ruling class (which is also the theory of Hoover as well as that of the police agent Lovestone) that the mass of Negro popula- tion in the South is a reserve of capitalist reaction—this theory and hope is already destroyed by these first beginnings of real struggle. ‘The business of the southern workers, tenant farmers and share croppers is to proceed with redoubled energy, with care, and by utilizing every experience to learn better methods of work, in organizing and carrying on their struggle against starvation and slavery. ‘The revolu- tionary trade unions can, must and will be built in the South as in the North on the basis of the unity of the black and white workers. The block committees of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights (which have proved in experience to be a most excellent means of organizing) must be spread through the South. The struggle to save the lives and liberty of the nine innocent Scottsboro boys and the share-croppers ar- rested at Camp Hill, must be continued faster and better than before; we must win this struggle to free these victims and thereby win a telling victory for the whole struggle against capitalist and jim crow slavery. ‘And the Negro masses and the white working class must see and understand just why their enemies, in order to strike at them, find it, necessary first to strike at the Communist Party! Most necessary of all, they will see, is the struggle to build and to protect the revolutionary Party of leadership of the white and black workers—the Communist Party of the U. S. A.

Only a few days ago three colored youths were arrested by a uniformed thug named Geiger for no other reason than walking home with white workers, ‘The white and Negro workers, es- pecially young workers are being mobilized for this demonstration, in which the working class will show the bosses that they will not stand for discrimination and terror such as is now being directed against that most exploited section of the work- ing class, the Negro. workers. * ~ 10 HIT BOSS TERROR, 22ND Protest Legal Lynch- ing of the Strikers, Scottsboro Boys NEW YORK—World labor will join its protest on Sacco-Vanzetti Day, Aug. 22, against the new Sacco- Vanzetti case in the United States, the threatened death sentences egainst 30 coal mine strikers now being held in the Harlan County Jail, at Harlan, Kentucky. The International Labor Defense announced yesterday that informa~ tion regarding the savage persecu- tions of workers in the Kentucky coal fields had been sent to the Ber- lin Bureau of the International Red Aid, and declared that the fight for the lives of the Kentucky coal miners will be brought into the foréground with the Scottsboro, Camp Hill and other outstanding persecutions on the International Sacco-Vanzetti Day of protest. “It was the’ International Red Aid that organized the world-wide strug- gle to stop the burning alive of Sacco and Vanzetti, and later mob- ilized the international protest in the Gastonia case,” the I. L. D. state- ment declared. ‘The international mobilization this year on Sacco- Vanzetti Day will consist of mass meetings and demonstrations, in- cluding protest demonstrations every- where before American embassies and consulates; resolutions and tele- grams of protest to be sent on this day to American consulates abroad and to the American government at Washington; as well as the broad distribution of literature of all kinds, leaflets, pamphiets, magazines and newspapers through the working- class sections.” ; One of the principal. squares in Moscow is known as Sacco-Vanzetti Square. This is also true of some of the working-class suburbs of Paris and other cities. There will be an increasing number of Inter- national Labor Defense branches in the United States, and the Interna- tional Red Aid organizations in other jands, as well as other working-class groups taking the name of Sacco- Vanzetti. ‘Through the publications of the International Red Aid and the Red International of Labor Unions, espe- cially the Miners’ Section of the lat- ter, workers throughout the world have been well informed of the he- roic struggles of the American coal miners in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. The courts of the mine owners convene at Harlan, Kentucky, on Next Monday, Aug. 17, to begin the judicial lynching of the mine strik- ers. This. lynching program has been laid down by the great mine owners in the Kentucky field, the United States Steel Corporation, the Commonwealth Edison or Insull in- terests in Chicago, the Peabody Coal interests of Illinois and the Rocke- feller interests. The Harlan, Ken- tucky, court plans to reach the mur- der cases by Aug. 25. Thus the days leading up to the trials parallel the days of mobilization for Sacco-Van- zetti Day. In connection with the protest campaign the International Labor Defense is carrying on a drive for funds to give the imprisoned miners adequate defense. Make collections everywhere.

Wakefield had céme here to arrange defense for the arrested workers. The ILD, like the Communist Par- ty, is feared and hated by the boss lynchers of Alabama on account of its activities in defending Negro and white workers framed up by the boss- es. It is the ILD which, with the support of the Communist Party, the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and other organizations, smashed the attempts of the Alabama bosses to rush the 9 innocent Scottsboro Negro boys to the'electric chair on July 10. ‘The attempt of Tallapoosa land- owners to frame up 55 Negro crop- pers was similarly defeated.

Melloh, in line with the Hoover policy of wage-slashing, has ordered wage-cuts from 10 to 20 per cent. The government itself is further- ing wage-cuts, as shown by the slashes in pay for 1,400 workers at the Hoover dam in Las Vegas, Nev. Capitalist newspaper reporters who interviewed officials of the Coppers Seabord Coke Co, of Brooklyn said these officials “admitted this morn- ing there had been a 10 per cent wage-cut in the company,” one of the officials adding, “that’s the cut that is making the rounds.” Another section of this company, the Koppers Seaboard Coke Co. at Kearny, N. J. also said that wages had been slashed there 10: per cent ay te 7 : from the Bellon banks. The White Tar Co. of New Jersey, also located at Kearny, and controlled by Mellon, Slashed wages. . Andrew Mellon, as secretary of the treasury, handed out billions of dol- lars in tax returns to the big corpo- rations, many millions going into his own pocket. When the crisis started, Mellon made statements “urging” ‘the bosses not to cut wages, but he himself has been one of the leading driving forces in slashing wages. He con- trols the Pittsburgh Coal Co. in Pennsylvania, as well as many other coal companies that are trying to force the miners into starvation. Thousands of miners in the Mellon mines are striking against starvation ‘wages. The action of Mellon is approved by the A. F. of L. which works with the Hoover government and has aid- ed it in its long’ -of wage aa! HARLEM TONIGHT Fight Race Hatred and Evictions NEW YORK. — Since July 4, Ne- gro ténants living around 117th st. and Pleésent Avenue have been sub- jected’ to a vicious terror campaigh ied at driving them out of. the neighborhood. This campaign wes incited by the landlords who in their desire to force up rents in the neigh- borhood, have beeri evicting the white workers in order to exact double the rent from Negro tenants. . Using this rent discrimination against the Ne- gro workers as a threat against the whites, they have tried to raise the rénts of white workers, telliig them that if they did net pay the raise, they would be evicted and the apar- ments rented to Negro workers. Petty bourgeois and shop keeper elements among the whites have used this fact to incité the white workers against the Negroes and have misled thesé workers from the correct tactic of organizing with the Negro work- ers to fight the rent increases of the landlords. The Communist Party has denounced these misleaders of the white workers and has called for a united front of the white and Negro tenants against their common ene- my, the landlords. A Tenants League has been organ- ized in the neighborhood and a Soli- darity Meeting will be held this eve+ ning at 117th Street and First Ave. BULLETIN BALTIMORE, Md.—Tag days, under the auspices of the local Pennsylvania-Ohio Striking Min- ers’ Relief Committee, will be held Friday and Saturday, Aug. 14 and 15. The committee has sent out 2 call for volunteers to help make the tag days successful. . HARLAN, Ky., Aug. 10. — The re- lief kitchen in Evarts, Kentucky, was blown up this morning at 2 o'clock. Deputized gunmen imported from Chicago, home of Insull, who owns a good slice of the coal fields here, had openly threatened that they would destroy all three relief kitchens open- ed in Harlan County by the Penn- Ohio-West Virginia-Kentucky Strik- ing Miners Relief Committee, local miners report. Strikers are patrol- ling the grounds around the kitchens, guarding them night and day now. Food was cooked and served on the relief station grounds today. The lo- cal relief secretary reported to the central headquarters in Pittsburgh that relief will be distributed every day: in spite of the terror, and urged that more food be sent there. Evarts is in the very heart of the flux epidemic. In this “little city, an average of two die every day in the week from this starvation disease. An intensive search is being made by thugs who rove the Kentucky hills in a flock of automobiles with heavy machine guns mounted from rumble seats, for Caroline Drew, organizer of the Women's Auxiliaries of the National Miners Union, who helped to establish the kitchens. Sever houses were raided in the search, and a complete description of Drew was given by these gunmen all through the section.

From there the demonstration will march to the state banking de- | partment to place the following de- mands: 1, hat small depositors shall be paid first and in full. 2. The reorganization of the bank, so that the depositors mo- ney be paid in full. 3. The assessment of all the di- rectors and all stockholders. 4. The prosecution of alf guilty officials of the banking depart- ment. 5, The prosecution of all the directors. 6. That the state shall make good the losses of the depositors. The Daily Worker has repeatedly pointed out that the various reor- ganization plans proposed by former directors and the state banking de- partment were primarily intended to stave off the rising anger of the swindled depositors. Further that the property upon which an early liquidation would have realized some- thing, has now been surreptiously transferred to relatives and friends of the bankers. There exists no possible basis for the reorganization of the ruined bank in which the depositors would have their full de- posits restored. The demands for the assessment of the rich stockholders and the | officials the amount of the last de- posits and the guarantee of the re- covery of the money by the state remains the valid demands depo- sitors can raise without resorting to false hopes about reorganization of the bank. Wall Streetand Machado Fear Real Mass Uprising in Cuba American imperialism is rushing troops to Cuba in an effort to shoot déwn Cuban workers and peasants in the event the revolution now rag- ing aginst the Machado regime reaches mass proportions and gets out of the hands of the petty-bour- geols nationalists. The pretext by which United States troops are being sent to Cuba is the dispatching of United States gun- boats and the U. S. transport Kit- tery to Cuba for the purpose of tak- ing away “200 to 300 natives of Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands.” This is being done on orders of Acting Secretary of State Castel. This is disguised military action of Wall St. directed against the masses of Cuba and for the protection of the Ma- chado murder regime and to insure the domination of American imper- falism in Cuba. Meanwhile, the revolution is spread- ing, getting more of a mass char- acter. Latest reports state that many violent battles have taken place in various parts of Cuba. Bloody Ma- chado, president of Cuba, is reported to have left for Santa Clara, a dis- trict in revolt, in order to bargain with the nationalist leaders. This is to give the Nationalist leaders an opening to quash the revolt before it reaches a mass character and goer beyond the wishes of the petty-bour- geois leaders, Menocal, Mendiesta and Capote. A reign of terror has been un- loosed in Havana, the stronghold of the Cuban proletariat. All houses are being searched for arms and wholesale arrests are being made. The arrested—and workers are ar- rested on any pretense—are sent to the Havana Fortress where many are murdered outright, ‘THREATEN TO JAIL 1,000 STRIKING MINERS’ KIDS WHO WILLCOLLECT AID | Persecution Spreads In Ohio, W.
