Jailed for Speaking to JobIess,

CHESTER, Pa, Feb. 11.-Three
workers are being held under $10,-
900 bail each, charged with "inciting
to riot"-for speaking before a
crowd of unemployed before the Sun
Shipbuilding and Drydock Company
here today.
The speakers were first attacked
by the company guards, but the I'M
employed workers drove the guards
off. After the meeting 10 police
men and five plain clothes men
rushed to the scene, and searched
some of the workers present for lit
erature that was distributed, in
Guiding The Daily Worker and the
pamphlet Out of Job.
Three of the workers were then
arrested. They are John Novak,
organizer of the District Young
Communist League; Bernard Gittle-
man, Chester worker, and A. Bias
kowitch, a Pittsburgh worker, who
had come to Chester to look for a
job.
The arrested were held incommu-
nicado, and workers inquiring for
them were threatened with arrest.
The magistrate of the city, Thomas
Berry, at first refused hearing,
but the attorney sent by the Phila-
delphia district Of the International
Labor Defense, David Levenson, de-
manded a hearing and forced one
through for tomorrow.
After the meeting before the ship
yard, the unemployed marched in a
body to the Communist Party head
quarters, where they joined the I'm
employed Council and elected an eX-
ecutive to prepare for the February
&c demonstration.

was confronted with facts that
there are such agencies in Mil

"Do you think that workers would

if they could secure jobs at the
public Ones" he was asked. Again,
no answer from the mayor. On the
Community Chest he said that this
was a private undertaking and the
city had nothing to do with it.
The mayor failed to give posi-
tive answer to any single demand
put to him, although he hypocritic-
ally expressed his sympathy" for
the unemployed, while the police
under his order outside were club
bling, failing and riding into the
workers on motorcycles.
When the committee returned to
report to the workers the result Of
the visit to the mayor, the police
again tried to stop them from speak
ing. The committee at once went
back to the mayor, upon learning
that three arrests were made, de-
manding their unconditional release.
This time the mayor got quite
angry, and began to admonish the
Communists for speaking in re-
stricted territory, where speaking is
forbidden.
"Where shall We go, to the
sticks 2" shouted one worker.
"What's the matter with you Com
munists?" shouted the mayor to a
group Of workers that came into
the office at this time. "We are
not Communists" answered some,
"but starving unemployed workers,
fighting for our rights" "Well,
that's Communism" answered an
other.
Again the committee left the
mayors office. AS soon as it came
\ out members Of the committee were
raised on shoulders by the workers
Nand explained the hypocritical stand
taken by Mayor Hoan. The police
again failed in their attempt tc
break up the crowd.
Spontaneously the workers now
proceeded to march to the Workers
Center, carrying the signs with the
slogans and demands.
The hall was again packed tt
Overlooking. The various speakers
amid thunderous applause, mounted
the platform and explained the hap
pening of the day, unmasked the
capitalist role of the socialists,
and stated that the fight was only
beginning.

put into effect in all departments,
making it unnecessary to employ
additional workers.
To meet advance in production,
also many of the old employees that
are being paid 81 and So day were
laid off and given the option of re-
hiring at S. a day or taking their
chances of starving to death. Pow
erty and misery stalks through the
city.
This writer is sure that the work
ers will respond to the slogans of
the Communist Party and weld
themselves into a mass industrial
union with the Communist Party as
the leader.

based upon the monthly average for
1925-1927 dropped to 50. The de-

Eight of the eleven main indus

CANADA WORKERS FIGHT TOO

VANCOUVER, B. C. (By MaiD
During the past week there have
been two or three battles with the
police by the unemployed, who are
militant and are now organized in a
Council of Unemployed.
The unemployed here have no in
tention of being bluffed out of max
ing their demand known. After be-
ing dispersed by foot, mounted and
motorcycle police, they reform their
ranks in still larger numbers on the
street corners, cheer the speakers
with great enthusiasm and sing
revolutionary songs.
The mix-up on the Powell Street
grounds was wild one. One of the
plain-clothes bulls got slammed over
the head with a harness bulls club
A woman floored one of the horses
of the mounted police, and gave the
rider an unmerciful beating. A
businessman going along also got q
wallop from the police.
A meeting was held three hours
later. The police tried to interfere,
but the meeting was held anyhow
Then an indoor meeting, and pickets
were sent out next day on the "re-
lief jobs (where the unemployed
struck for real wages). A police
man threatened to shoot delegate
and several shots were fired by po-
lice during the day, while 20 of the
volunteer pickets were arrested.
That is all the solution" the capt.
talists have for unemployment: the
whip, the club and war.

aroused to the need of organizing
the unorganized, now in depression
just as much as in normal" times,
and the situation has proven to the
hilt that the Communist Party of
Canada and the Communist Interna-
tional are correct in their policy.
