Refused to Accept J im Crow Law, Says Camp Preston Youth Tell of "Provacations| in Interview With Daily Worker By PASCUAL NEW YORK.—Interviews given ex- | clusively to the Daily Worker by the six Negro forced laborers imprisoned for five days at Camp Preston for petitioning against discrimination, revealed there was no insurrection, riot or disorderly conduct in the camp. Their imprisonment was sim- ply an attempt to beat the young Ne- | gro boys into a submissive Jim Crow- ism, since the food rations were run- ning low. As a result the six were dragged into a drum-head court martial staged for so-called “legal” purposes before Justice of the Peace Flandgan, When confronted by the boys the first words were uttered by the Jus- | tice of the Court-Martial Flanagan: “You'll get six months in jail and $50 fine if you don’t pleadyguilty and save the county the expense of a! trial.” And with this threat the court was opened. All but one of the boys live in| Harlem. All of their families were de- pendent on their forced labor sal- aris to feed and house from 5 to 9 people. Consequently they are now faced with the question, “Will we get onto the relief list when our boys have ‘dishonorable discharges’ from the camp?” This same question confronts the families of the 34 Negro boys who quit out of sympathy for the other boys. Shrugg’s Provocation While no actual rioting took place, according to the boys’ statements, the | commandant, Major Shrugg attempt- ed to provoke one by challenging the boys to sten out of line and fight | him, “Is there any one here who wants to step out and fight me?” he asked in his most blustering manner. | Had any of the boys accepted the challenge, he would have had an ex- cuse to read the riot act, call the guards out and shoot or club the boys | down. What actually happened is that the two Negro clerks, Richard Cooper of 206 W. 114th St. and Cyril Dore, 75 W. 14lst St., learned Thursday night | July 1 that two white clerks were to replace them. The next. morning at work call when they wére lined up in preparation to go out into the woods, Cooper and Dore stepped out of line and asked Major Shrugg why they were being removed. Placed Under Arrest The major flared up immediately, | shouted they were being replaced for inefficiency and that they would be shown no consideration whatsoever. ‘The two boys were then quickly plac- ed under arrest, and the major chal- lenged the boys to a fight. Then he ordered them back to their tents, and the boys obeyed though in a sulky manner, That was all there was to’ the riot. The next step was for the major to | select at random four other Negro | recruits and place them under ar- rest. They were John Dingle. 200 W. 133d St.; Bernard Green, 206 W. 146th St.; Desmond McCoy, 1837 Fulton St. (Brooklyn), William Wyath, 2560 Eighth Ave. Solidarity © While the six boys were-being hus- tled away to the court the major lined the boys up again and asked them if there was anybody who want- e@ to go home. One reeruit Harris, raised his hand and 33 others stepped ferward with him. Camp Preston had been. ‘in exist- ence a bylef two weeks when the in- cident tock place. The Negro company number 288, consisting of 187 boys Was considered a crack.company at Camp Dix where most.of them had spent three months. The boys had to tear their way through the under- brush to establish the camp. Toilets | consisted of holes in the ground which were eyen without lime to dis- infect them, The flies, according to Cooper, “were simply terrible; and the toilets, hell, they were straddle pits and so filthy the boys didn’t want to use them.” The water was never inspected and was never too clean, For the two weeks the boys were in camp food rations were very low, and the major explained this to the boys when they started grumbling, that “funds were - Union Is Evicted | Combine to Sabotage | has aroused the hostility of the boss- ‘of which is located on the ground; | refusing to accept the rent.

The union has led a series of suc- cessful strikes in the laundries in up- per Manhattan and the Bronx and| es; Kaftan the landlord of the build- ing owns a chain of cafeterias, one of floor of the building in which the union offices were located, Members of Pigiad union attempted to organize | in this restaurant into the Food Workers Industrial Union co incurred the enmity of Kaftan. | At the end of June the landlord attempted to make the union move by action forced him to accept $130 and |the union remained in the headquar- ters for another month. At the instigation of the laundry to harm the union in every way, the landlord today called the marshal | and had the union evicted. Hatters in Open Shops Join Strike NEW YORK.—About 75 per cent of the workers in the unorganized hat shops, as a result of mass pick- | eting, joined’ the strike yesterday of the 1,000 members of the United Hatters of America, Locals 7 and 8, which began Wednesday, for wage | increases ranging up to 40 per cent. In three of the large non-union FF shops, only promises of raises from 25 to 50 per cent Bereiied the workers from joining the ranks of the strikers. These increases, how- ever, do not raise the wages in those shops even to the union scale, * Children’s Camp | NEW YORK—The United Chil- dren's Camp Commit announces that the second group of Negro and | white children will leave July 20th for a two-week vacation at the Workers’ Children’s Camp at -Wingdale, New unaffiliated with the Camp Commit- tee must send in their registrations to the office at 870 Broadway not later than Saturday, July 15th. running low.” Bringing the 20 white boys into the camp was part of a deliberate attempt to remove all Negro workers from the 23 important positions in the | camp. The next step would have been | to clamp down a rigid Jim Crow dis- | ‘cipline, with all the Negroes working in the woods, forcing them to accept smaller food rations.

To Trade Unions and Organizations of Unem- ployed; To Workers, Employed and Unemployed, the United States: ‘The undersigned representatives of, or leading mem- bers in, a broad variety of workers’ economic organiza- tions jointly issue this call to action, We are moved by the conviction that these extraordin§ry times create an | emergency for the working class which demands the most heroic efforts to break down all the barriers to a united struggle of the broadest masses in order to pro- tect themselves from hunger and betrayal. The Roosevelt administration, backed by a mighty chorus of bankers and industrialists and their political henchmen, is making the most gigantic and persistent | | effort to hypnotize the American workers and farmers | |into the belief that, without any effort on their part, “prosperity” is to be returned, a real New Deal is to be given, through the National Industrial Recovery Act and similar measures. This is an attempt to lull the masses into a sense of security, flabby optimism and passivity. We call upon the workers and farmers to arouse them- | selves, to refuse to be duped by rosy dreams, to organize and fight against the Roosevelt-Wall Street program! Congress has adjourned after enacting the Roosevelt program, We now have the New Deal before us in real- | ity. What does it mean to the workers? A nation-wide drive to cut down relief is on. The | velief-wages of the unemployed-on public works are vici- ously reduced. Evictions and foreclosures multiply, Goy- ernment employees have had their wages slashed. Vet- evans allowances haye been cut. The small percentage of workers who have been called back to jobs receive | miserable wages and are subjected to a merciless speed- up. They slave much harder in order to get but a pit- tance more in cash than if they were on relief. That little is immediately snatched from them by creditors who descend upon them like wolves and by the rise in prices under the inflation program. Not only does the Rooseveli-Wall Street program mean no immediate relief from distress, but it is the agency to put over a permanent lowering of the stand- dard of wages and of living. Under the much-vaunted minimum wage legislation, the nominal wages of a few workers in the most sweated industries, may for the time being be raised, For the mass of the workers, with forced labor camps militarizing them at a dollar a day, the employers are helped to smash the remnants of the old wage standards. Under the guise of shortening hours a universal Stagger Plan is set up; and any slight raise in wages is eaten up by a rise in prices. No unemployment insurance has been provided for the unemployed millions, This is what the Roosevelt program has done for the’ workers and farmers, Contrast this with what it has done for the bankers, mortgage sharks, and indus- trialists who were rapidly being driven to the wall by the revolt of the masses against these oppressors and Profiteers before Roosevelt came to their rescue. The New Deal is giving billions of dollars of the public funds to save the banks, railroads, insurance companies and trusts for their present masters and to guarantee and bolster up their profits for the future, It is relieving the Wall Street barons from taxes and 4s shifting the burden of taxation on to the masses through sales taxes, taxes on food and indirect taxes of all kinds, Roosevelt's most intimate cabinet associates have been exposed as receivers of enormous bribes, running into millions, from J. P, Morgan, thus being revealed as servants of the master of Wall Street. In short, the “new deal” of Roosevelt, including the so-called Industrial Recovery Act (which should be properly called the “Industrial Slavery Act”) is from beginning to end an enormous looting of the govern- ment treasury, @ further robbery of the workers and toilers generally for the benefit of monopoly capital, for the benefit of Wall Street. Little wonder then that all business elements, from the “liberals” to the most reactionary, Greet the “new deal”, The most dangerous sections of the Recovery Act in are those dealing with the organization of the workers. ' Hall to keep _ Workers from holding | open-air mi five Negro speak- ers of various organizati given summonses yesterday by De-| the tective Allen Benton for conducting | trial street meetings. The Negroes will appear in the 451| weekly tax in s W. 151st St. Court Monday morn-/ NEW Union, The act contains fine-sounding expressions about the | right of labor to organize and bargain collectively, but actually it is moving towards abolition of the right to | strike and a universal system of compulsory arbitr: tion. Wherever the workers permit them to get away with it, the bosses will try to get by without bh any kind of organization of their employees. W! this proves impossible they will openly or secretly ex courage the building of company unions. Where, because of the militancy of the workers, the | activity of militant class unions, something that looks | @ little more real than a company union is demanded, the officialdom of the American Federation of Labor will be calied in to line up the work ‘The dominant policy of the A. F. of L. is not that of fighting in the interests of the wo: but of w ing harmoniously with the governm d the em- ployers, which always ends up in the workers geiting the short end of the deal. Thus the Recovery Act may be used to build fake unions, subservient to the government and the bosses, or company uniens. Not only will no impetus be give: to clean, progressive, industrial unions, fighting the class struggle of the workers against the bosses and the government, but a bitter ‘war of extermination will be waged against genuine fighting, economic organizations. If at this time the militant elements in the labor | moyement are passive or divided among themselves, the forces of reaction will cripple all fighting unions in the United States, All weapons of r ance will be taken out of the hands of the working class. Il. Prosperity Is Not “Areund Corner”, | The lying promises being made to the mi are given more effectiveness by the fact that industrial pro- duction is actually increasing, even though this in-| crease is greatly exaggerated in order to strengthen the illusion of the masses. But this very increase in production when carefully | examined, turns out to be another sign of the deepen- | ing of the crisis. It lays the foundation for a new and deeper catastrophe for the working class, since this in- crease is not due to such factors as would assure a continued rise in production. It is not due to increased buying power of the masses. It is not due to increased | foreign markets. It is due primarily to speculative pro- duction in expectation of rising prices as Roosevelt's in- flation program develops, Goods produced aren't for im- | mediate use by the masses, They are stored for future | sales at higher prices. Secondly, increased production is partially due to increased war preparations. All this makes it quite obvious that the present rise in produc- tion will be followed by a very sharp decline in the | near future. Most important for the > w rs is bear in mind that, even the temporary incr in employment and payrolls. Thus for exai auto industry which claims 10 percent rise in tion over last year in the first five months, also admits a decline of 20 percent in employment for the same | ,. period, Unemployment on a mass scale is permanent it is here to stay. It is pressing down the wages of em-! ployed workers towards and even below a subsi level—as long as the capitalist system lasts. This is! true of every country—with the single exception of the Soviet Union, where under a workers’ government, un- employment has been for long entirely wiped out. The Workers’ Program Against the Roosevelt Program, Only a united workers’ mass struggle can lead to a recovery of the workers’ living conditions. The em- | ployers will give nothing voluntarily to the workers. It) is necessary for the workers to begin immediately to} rally all their fighting organizations in solid unity arcund | a workers’ program against the Roosevelt-Wedl Street program, We therefore propose for the consideration of all workers and their economic organizations the following immediate demands around which a united struggle can be developed: 1) Immediate and substantial increases in wages in| all industries and for*all workers. Junk | 2) A stubborn fight against all attempts to put over extensive wage reductions under the guise of a minimum wage programy. 3) Struggle against relief cuts, evictions, foreclosures, and all attempts to shut off water, gas and elec- tricity from tkers’ homes, Against forced labor camps comur relief plans, and fer payment in cash at full trade union wage retes on all public works 4) 5) For a federal system of social insurance to be paid by the government and employers in order secure all workers against all involuntary unem- ployment at the level of their previously establis standard of living. 6) For.the pre tion and recovery of workers’ ri for the right to strike, to belong to the workers’ cwn choosing: for free mbly for complete eq ing of all discrimination ag: men and youth al prisoners. and press; ; for abolis! thi $ program: I te and support all efforts of the wor stores and . unions and to build ial unions to carry on the class workers against the bosses and bos nment agen of all genuinely militant textile other indusiries to unite off the e in all unions and other eco- 2 adoption of a fig who follow the d: erating har the struggle against autecratic, and racketeering elemenis in the unions and against the A.
