War Funds for JObless.
One of the main demands Of the
Workers Social Insurance Bill, for
which thousands of workers will
come out and demonstrate on Sept.
list, is that all war funds be turned
over Immediately to an unemploy-
ment insurance fund, to be admin
istered by the workers.
The Workers Social Insurance
Bill provides a minimum weekly
payment of $25 to all unemployed
workers, whether they are unem-
ployed because of illness, old age or
lack of work.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands
of copies of the bill are being dis
tributed in the shops, mines and fac
tories. Millions of workers are dis
cussing it. The Trade Union Unity
League is rushing plans for huge
demonstration on Sept. 1st to be the
starting point for overwhelming
mass organizations to force the bill
through. No amount of lying by
the capitalist government and their
press can hide the seriousness and
increasing extent of unemployment.
400 Buffalo Workers Demand
Passage of Bill.
More than 400 workers assem-
bled in Buffalo at William and Ben
net SITS. to listen to the speakers of
the Trade Union Unity League and
the Communist Party. The work
ers, the majority Negroes and many
unemployed, greeted the Workers
Insurance Bill with great enthusi-
asn- end rled~ed themselves 70
fight for the enactment of the bill
and participate in the Seatem en-
1st Great Unemployed Demanstra-
ton in front of the2Broadway Audi
forum.
Nine workers Joined the Party.
Many Daily Workers, Labor Unity,
Party Platforms and other litera-
ture were sold.
The preparation for the Septem-
Der LIST Demonstration is going ahead
full swing. A special shop leaflet
is being distributed for the Bethle-
hem Steel Co., Crosby Dupont
Rayon Co., Republic Steel Co.
Special leaflets for the Negro and
unemployed workers are being is
sued by the thousands.
Members of the Trade Union
Unity League are agitating and or
ganizing the workers every morn
ing in front of the large factories,
where thousands Of workers gather
to look for a job.
The T. u. u. L. of the Philadel-
phia district is making preparations
for big demonstrations of both en-
e ployed and unemployed workers.
The conditions in Philadelphia are
getting worse from day to day. The
unemployment is constantly increas-
ing. Wage-cuts are a daily occur
renee. In Kensington many mills
are being closed down, with thou
sands Of workers thrown out on the
street. On the waterfront hundreds
of Negroes and white workers come
out every day hoping to get little
job. The Budd Manufacturing Co.
and other big plants are laying off
workers daily.
The workers, because of their bad
conditions and the betrayals of the
q misleaders of labor, are more and
more responding to the call of the
Trade Union Unity League. It is
therefore to expect that on Sep
TENDER list thousands of employed
and unemployed, white and Negro
workers, will demonstrate their
strength, power and will to carry on
struggle against the bosses for
better conditions and unemployment
insurance. The demonstrations will
take place at 3 p. m. sharp at JEFF
ferson Square, Fourth and Federal
SITS. and Mcpherson Square in Ken
sington.
