COMMUNISM PERIL TO NEGRO
RACE PULLMAN PORTERS ARE
WARNED BY RETIRING PRESIDENT
1
NEW YORK, N. Y.—The Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters, A. P,
of L., the only Negro international
union in the United States, was
warned at its fifteenth anniversary
convention in Harlem that comnran
ism was no solution for the problems
of the Negro. i
A. Phillip Randolph, president of
the brotherhoods who resigned last
April as president of the National
Negro Congress, on the ground that
it was controlled by Communists, said
in his address to the convnetion:
“With the march of dictatorships
we must reaffirm our faith and devo
tion to the cause of democracy and
liberty. To that end, we reject the
Communist program as a solution of
the problems of the Negro because it
s the negation of democracy. I.
“We condemn all Communist front |j
md transmission belt organisations ,
ss a peril to the constrnuctive and
sound program of the Negro people,
since they seek only to serve the cause
»f the Communist party, which is only
concerned about the success of the
foreign policy of Soviet Russia.
“We stand solid for adequate and
complete national defense. We call
for labor unity by C. I. O. unions re
turning to the home of labor—the
A. P. of L.
“We call for the abolition of the
poll tax and white primaries, and the
passing of the Anti-Lynching bill.
“We are opposed to America enter
ing the war, but we advocate all aid to
Great Britain.”

“HE’S RUNNIN’, AINT HE?”
An old Negro Mammy in the South
asked if she thought the President
would be re-elected, replied, “He’s
running’, ain’t he?”
