a es £ NEGRO WORKERS! REPUDIATE THE JIM-ERC'V, LYNCH PARTIES OF THE BOSSES! No section’ of the workers suffers more from. the crisis than the Negroes. There is a higher percent- age of Negro workers out of a job than any other section of the work- ing class. In Harlem, neearly 70) per cent can find no jobs, They tramp from place to place and are discriminated against. They pay outrageous, rents, whether they s.ave work or not; they cramp together, two, three of more families jn a flat) —and there they starve. ‘When ‘Negro workers try to get work from Tammany grafeers, they | re the last’to be helped. When they apply for relief, they are denied it. When young ‘Negro workers ask for help, all “they get is policemen’s | clubs. The result is starvation for the Negro workérs. What is ‘true of Harlem is true of every other ‘part of the city and | @ountry. Why do the Negro workers pay | © such high rents'in every part of the country?’ Becatise they are com- pelled by ségregation and jim crow laws to live in-certain parts of the city. The landlords have them at their mercy, dnd charge them double or more the tent that white workers’| have to pay. This is not the fault of the white ‘workers—but of the | landlords" ‘who are white or Negro bosses, When Negro workers can- not pay their rent, they are thrown into the, streets by Negro and white landlords. The Negro landlords have no sympathy for the Negro workers they exploit them the same as the ‘white landlords do, When a Negro ‘boss employs a Negro worker, he pays him as small: wages as he can, just as the white bosses do. The Negro and white bosses are united against the Negro workers to grind down their conditions to the lowest level. Who fights against this discrimi- Nation, Segregation and jim crowism? ‘The republicans, democrats and so- cialists?’ NEVER! this jim‘ *crowism. - Their income comes from this jimcrowism. They profit by it... The COMMUNIST PARTY~ alone fights against segre- gation and jimcrowism—and for this reason the bosses, both Negro and white, hate and carry on a eam- paign against: the COMMUNISTS. The Negro workers, in the midst of hunger and’starvation, with worse misery facing them in this the third winter of hunger, are fighting back. ‘Together’ with the revoluntionary white workers, they are preventing evictions, they..are fighting for un- employment: relief and insurance at the expense of the bosses.

H. Li, the Chinese worker, and Guido Serio, the Italian workers, and hundreds of others to die at the hands of the executioners of Chianz Kai-rh2k and Benito Mus- solini and other fescist tyrants. Only the mass2d attack of the workers against the murderous deportation policies of the Hoover-Doak govern- ment finally resulted in forcing the government, not to allow Li and Serio to remain in the United States, but of voluntary devarture from the United States.

There are problems plenty for the masses, and the bi it of all problems is “When do we eat—if at all?” Ribycki, Tammany’s own director (and a well paid one) of its own fake Employment Bureau here in York admits in public speeches ‘at there are 1,000,000 jobless in the ive borougs. The State of New York 1as an industrial department which xdmiits month by month the wages are being cut.

Of all the political parties con- cerned, only the Communist Party has really fought against either. The Communists have persistently led strikes against wage-cuts, and with some success.

"TING NEEDLE W OR K E R § SUPT ORT THE RED ELECTION PROGRAM AND CANDIDATES By ROSE WORTIS { The r--ats trades workers will cuprort the party of their e'nss in |the comin elect'ons. The e'sction | campainn in 1931 is beund un with living issues involving the life and linterests of the working-class as never before. As part of the advanced | ection of the working-c'nss of this {country the needle tredes workers | |are showing a live interest in the | | present election campaign. | The direct experiences of the needle trads workrs in the struvele during recent years has convinced even the jon @ pure economic strug7le. {mass arrests, the persecution of |strike pickets, the attempt to convert the so-called drive against rackete- jeriny into a drive against militant workers, shows clearly to the workers that the state machinery is used by on in the struggle against the | workers. Perhaps fn the needle trades this hes been more glaringly demon- strated than in many another in- dustry. In the feke strike of the cloakma! in 1929 conducted under |the leadershin of the Schlessinzer |comrany union, Mayor Walker, Gov- |Molit'cians have played an imnortant role in selling out the conditions of the wokers, Thectozkmakers who todav are comnelled to work under much lower standards, piece work, speed-up, long hours for miserable wages, are learning to understand | ‘hat this sellout was envineered and Faslaca a thenv-h by the holy trinity (of the bosses, the ye"-w socialist ssinger gang, and Tammany <M, Similar were the exper'erces of the o's clo‘hin~ workers in the recent “ke stoprage in which the w7e-cut armeoment reevived the holy biessine ef Temmey Mavor Welker, the For- | ward, and all ofter encr’ss of the ~o-ters, The tailors know that as a result of th's avreemant their weer tedov are lower than they were be- fore the foe stonpave and in addi- tion they are compelled to pay a 5 per cent weekly assessment to pay for the price of this sellout and to fill the pockets of the underworld which {s suprorted and maintained with the help of the yellow Socialist Party. The new offensive started by the united front of all the workers in the fur trade now spreading out to the |dress, milnery, cloak and othe ‘branches of the needle industry, is |most backward wovkers that in the | present phase of the class struzgle it | ‘is impossible for any workers to carry | The | the bosses as a very effective weap- | | ernor Roosevelt and other Tammany | needle trades workers throuch a/ reco™rized by the workers as a strug- |-le not cnly avsinst the bosses but laeainst the united front of all the enemirs—the bosses, y avent in the rarls of the com- |v vy unions avd the'r Tammany and | Republican politi In this new offensive which has already broutht concrete improve- ;merts in the conditions of the fur workers as well as in some of the other branches of the trade, the workers have seen that onty the Communist Party, threuth its mem- nership, its press and ‘the revolu- “onary orvanizstion has enthusias- “cally supported their struzsie. The concrete facts of life have broken down the polsonous , prop- ervanda spread by the Forward and the yellow socialists against the |Communist Party. The révolt of the jnéedle trades workers against the bosses and the company union agents must and will find expression on the nolitical field through support of the Communist Party, which today is the only political party in this covctry that is backing the strugzle of the needle workers against wave-cuts and leading the strur-le of the unem- nloyed workers for unsmple~ment insurance from the bosses and their sovernment, | The outight betrayal of the Mac- Donald government of the workers has also served to turn the needle des workers who for many years have supported the socialists, away from the Socialist Party. ‘The present election cam- paign finds the needle trades workers not only fivhting in their shons fo: better conditions, under the leader- ship of the United Frovt and the Industrial Union, but finds them carrying on an active part in the election campzivn.
