bL0yed Workers to Meet at Huge Protest Demonstrate

The unemployed workers and their
families are entitled to relief in the
present emergency. The unemploy-
ment relief funds must therefore be
controlled by the workers themselves
thru the organizations of the unem-
ployed and trade unions.
If there is enough money to main
tain large police forces to break
strikes with there must be found
enough money to maintain the unem-
ployed.
Money for Wars.
If there is enough wealth in the
country to justify an expenditure of
a billion dollars for an increased navy,
as called for by President Coolidge,
there is enough wealth to maintain
the unemployed workers from gov
eminent funds at union wages.
To compel the city, state and fed
eral governments to initiate imme-
date unemployment relief, the work
ers must organize and fight ener-
getically.
Every trade union organization
in the country must join the unem-
ployed in the struggle. The trade
union must fight for the establish
ment and further development of I'M
employed insurance in their respec-
tive industries. The capitalists of
each industry must be made to bear
the full burden Of maintaining the
unemployed workers of the industry,
the funds to be controlled by the
trade unions. The trade unions must
also enforce the demand of no over
time and division of work.
Protect Trade Unions.
This is necessary not only for the
relief of the unemployed, but also for
the protection of the trade unions.
The unemployed in every locality
must organize themselves into spe-
cial organizations. Councils of I'M
employed, similar to the one organ
lied in Cleveland, Ohio, will prove of
great practical service in the strug-
gle for unemployment relief.
These councils of unemployed, to-
gether with the trade unions in each
locality, must formulate and present
to the local government concrete pro-
grams for immediate relief Of the UNI
employed.
Fight for Government Unemployed
Insurance.
Unemployment is no passing event
in the life of the workers under the
capitalist system. On the contrary, il
! is a chronic and permanent institu'
ton, degrading the lives of the work
ing masses and exploited by the CAPT.
talists to fasten and strengthen then
domination. Unemployment will dis
appear only with the destruction Of
the capitalist system.
For this reason, the workers of al
capitalist countries have been fight
ing for the establishment of per1nan
ent unemployment insurance by thu
government. Such government unem
ployment insurance, though made
quate, is at present operating in near
! ly every capitalist country.

PROFESSOR LEON THERE
MIN TO GIVE DEMONSTRA-
TION TONIGHT

A demonstration and explanation
of Professor Leon Theremin's remark
able invention of Emusic from ether"
will be given by him this evening IN
the Engineering Auditorium, 20 West
99th st. Theremin brought the in
vention from the State Institute OF
Technical Physics in Leningrad to
Berlin, Paris and London where 1t
was acclaimed by critics in enthusiast
tic terms. On Tuesday night he gave
concert demonstration at the Metro
politan Opera House.
Theremin evokes music OF rare
quality, from the radio, it Is said,
through the movement of his hands in
the air before two radio antennae.
The demonstration is conducted under
the joint auspices of the American
Society for Cultural Relations with
u. S. S. R. and the American Russian
Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction

richest and most powerful capitalist
class in the world, government unem-
ployment insurance does not exist.
The same is true of all forms of So
cial insurance which the American
ruling class refuses to accept.
With unemployment in the United
States having become a permanent
institution brutally exploited by the
capitalists to degrade the whole
working class, the workers must fight
with redoubled energy for the estab-
lishment of government unemploy-
ment insurance.
But this insurance must not be per-
mitted to become another means in
the hands of the government and the
capitalists to Cypress and demoralize
the workers. For this reason the
workers must demand government I'M
employment insurance controlled by
the trade unions, together with the
organizations of the unemployed.
Organize to Struggle Against
Unemployment.
The Workers (Communist) Party
of America calls upon the unemploy-
ed, the trade unions and the unor-
ganized workers to organize and
unite their forces for a struggle
against unemployment.
Unite and mobilize your forces
against the cause of unemployment

rule.
Organize the unorganized and
strengthen your unions to defeat the
offensive of the capitalists.
Carry on a political struggle
against the capitalist parties, organ
ize political party Of your own, a
Labor Party, to protect and defend
the interests of the workers.

ployed to join with the trade unions

STEEL EARNINGS
DECLINE RAPIDLY;
FALL SURPRISES
Ranks of Unemployed
Grow Larger

The pronounced industrial depres-
sion still sinks lower and the ranks
of unemployed workers grow ever
larger, while the bread lines extend
ever longer. The belated report Of
earnings of the United States steel
corporation for the last quarter of
1927 show decline that far exceeded
even the expectations of the stock
holders, who were prepared, on the
basis, of the years steady decline, for
a fall. The requirements for earn
ings on common stock are S1.75 per
share; the stockholders were pre-
pared for a reduction at $3.50 a
share, but when the condition of the
industry was published Tuesday it
was discovered that the payments
would be bnt $1.05 on common.
There has been a steady decline in
the steel industry during the entire
year, the net drop for the twelve
months being $34, 900, and for the
last quarter $10,126,292.

$50 Am l." From Boo
caccio Misses Fire at
the Comedy

A PLAY that attempts to be slightly
Al naughty is now at the Comedy
Theatre. It is $50 Am l." by c. M.
Selling who has rewritten it from
the Italian of Camille Scolari.
After a stupid first act the play
continues at merry pace during the
second and third act to the extent of
giving the audience a fair amount of
amusement in production of little
consequence. In fact, only the second
act is important enough to be given
any attention. 1t is portrayal of
Boccaccio's Francesca and Her
Lover"
The central theme of the play tells
of the wife of an Italian capitalist
who married him Immediately after
her graduation from convent. Much
to the disgust of the husband she con-
tinues her life of virginity after the
marriage.
A bold young man who had gained
the husbands friendship pays the
married couple a visit and when no
one is looking places copy of Boo
caccio in the place of the wife's re-
ligious book.
The second act tells Boccaccio's tale,
the wife playing the part of the wo-

following in the footsteps of the story
the wife uses the knowledge she had
learned from reading the book to
make love to her own husband. Which
is of course respectable way to end
a play that attempts to be naughty,
but never succeeds.
The acting is far superior to the
play. Betty Linley does her utmost
in the part of the wife. Walter Kins-
ford is fine as the husband while
Vernon Steele is passable as the
young man. Possibly the best of all
is Louise Carter as the maid.
