NEW YORK. -- An enthusiastic crowd of Negro and white workers last night pledged their support to the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and its official organ, the Liberator, in a stirring mass meeting at St. Luke's Hall, 125 West 130th St.
The meeting was called to rally support for The Liberator, and to make a report on the St. Louis convention of the League, with a view to popularizing the decisions of the convention, among which is the demand for the right of self-determination and state unity for the Negro masses in the Black Belt, with confiscation of the land for the Negro and poor white farmers who work the land.
One of the principal speakers of the evening was William Z. Foster, who is a member of the Executive Committee of the League elected at the St. Louis convention. Foster was followed by Herbert Newton, national secretary of the League, who made the report on the convention.
Sorotti for the Young Communist League, and George Tyler, for the International Labor Defense, pledged their respective organizations to militant support of the program of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights.
The meeting was then wound up with a speech by Richard B. Moore, speaking for the League of Struggle. Mary Adams acted as chairman.
