I abor N°s Service last week, Frank Crosswaith, well known
labor and Socialist denounced Communist methods in
inviting Negroes to join their ranks. He says:
ognizing the plight of colored America and casting
to the tes every principle worthy
of a WI’ng class movement, the
c work proceeded to offer us
seremtnisimination in the Black
Belt’ we are sure that every Ku
Kluxer" d others who deny equal-
itv to Colored people must have
such an offer. However,
the thinking Negroes rightfully re-
jecte a this offer. Since then the
line? of the Communist party has
ch-anged so often and so profound-
wry that it is pretty nigh impossible
to recount those changes in one
article. Each change, however, has
left them more and more exposed
as one of the most reactionary
and opportunistic movements of
modern times.”
Mr. Crosswaith warns the work-
ing class of Negroes to “beware
of the technique of the Com-
munists." He says: “They proclaim
loudly as their private property the
ideals for which workers every-
where have battled, but in practice
their every deed is a repudiation
of those ideals. All indications point
unerringly to the conviction that
among our people today the Com-
munists are attempting to repeat
the role of the Carpet-Baggers fol-
lowing the overthrow of slavery.
“The old Carpet-Baggers, because
of the general unpreparedness of
our people, succeeded in leaving
with us the Night Riders, the Ku
Kluxers and the other evils that to-
day haunt our daily lives in the
South and elsewhere. Today, how-
ever,” he continues, “we are bet-
ter prepared to recognize as friends
or enemies those who advance to-
ward us with outstretched hand and
high-sounding phrases.”

ST. LOUIS.—(ANP) — Paul A.
Doyer, general chairman of the
Railway Clerks’ union and represen-
tative of the red caps, last week
stated that he would ask U. S. Dis-
trict Attorney Harry C. Blanon
about the possibility of the 48 dis-
charged red caps legally signing
waivers of wage claims under the
new wage-hour law in order to re-
turn to work for tips only.

of Labor, voted to join the pow-

43 of their number were discharged.
When four red caps called on Ira

ganization representing a majority
of the employes.

HOUSTON.—On last Monday, the
coldest day of the season so far, the
Delinquent Youth Council investi-
gated six cases. We found barefoot
children warming their feet by street
fires. Other children were found
without a coat or sweater and bare-
ly with shirt and pants. All they
could do was to put their hande in
their pockets and shiver. Besides
being punished by the weather,
these poor children were hungry and
out of doors. In some cases, they 1
were runaways and underprivileges
whose families are unable to sup- 1
port them. Do you know that some
of these children were sleeping on
old rugs and covering with sacks’
They were forced to sleep in dirtv
clothes to keep warm. How long will
it be before fate steals upon these
little ones? Before the end of winter

many will die from such exposure
After giving considerable and
careful study to our investigations
and the attitude of many of our
citizens in cases like the above
stated, I have just about decided
that we do not live in the civilized
, age that we are supposed to. Chris-
tlans and citizens living in this age
should feel that it is their duty to
help these unfortunate children. Is
it not true that the more fortunate
should help the unfortunate?
Tuesday, Probation Officer Brooks
brought three boys to the Delinquent
Youth Council headquarters for
question. They were picked up in
Fifth Ward on Odin and Clark
streets during school hours. One of
these boys had contracted some kind
of itch which covered his body. Aft-
er taking statements from these
boys, ages 10 and 12, we decided to
find out if they knew some of the
things that children should know
such as A. B. C. the Lord's Prayer,
the county in which they lived, who
is the president of the United States,
etc. Out of this group the ten year
old boy was the smartest. The 13
year old boy said he lived in the
United States County anud that he
did not know President Roosevelt,
whose picture between two Ameri-.
can flags was shown to him. He
didn't know the Lord's Prayer but
tion on November 14, 10, ana 16, at International House, when he returned at - .

“Enlarging the Service and Support of Negro Land-Grant

lates the land-grant colleges to cur-
rent needs of Negroes in the South.

The Delinquent Youth Council
asks people that frequent beer joints
not to patronize any such places
where children are permitted. You
can at least do this much to help
preserve the respect of the Negro
race. In doing this you will help
save some mother's daughter or son.
Next week 1 will tell you through
this column just how you can clean

We are again asking for your old
