capitalism, unknown in the Soviet

as result three small children are
fatherless and a destitute mother is
desperately facing the future, Won

Mrs. Lewis was found penniless

her husband, out of work many
months, had brought his family here
week ago but had been unable to

Fight Is On To End

Right To Picket

NEW YORK-All workers who can
get away during the noon hour, all
unemployed workers, are called to
assist in mass picketing, in open
mass violation of the injunction OBJ
tanned by the boss, Tammany Hall
henchmen, and the A. F. L. Local
Union 3o2 at the zelgreen Cafeteria,
257 West 34th st. today at noon.
The Unemployed Council, the un-
employed members of the Workers
Ex-Service Mems League, the needle
trade workers who work in the vi
cinity and the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union unemployed council
have either promised full co-opera-
ton in smashing this injunction by
mass violation or are confidently re-
lied on by the strikers, led by the
Food Workers Industrial Union to
assist.
Smash Injunction
The fight to smash injunctions is
led by the Trade Union Unity Coun-
Gil of New York, which holds another
conference Tuesday to continue the
campaign.
The zelgreen injunction will be
made the first round of militant
struggle which will be particularly
important in the coming dress strike,
when injunctions will undoubtedly
shower down, and all pickets unless
there is mass violation, will be sent
up for Jail sentence under Paragraph
600 of the New York Penal Code.
The Zelgreen cafeteria was for

Not one bit of unemployed relief

ex-police commissioner Woods. Woods,
after meeting with the cabinet in
Washington, left for New York Sat-

received by Hoover and Woods from
exploiters and charity organizations
praising them for their action" on
the unemployment situation.
The parasites heartily approve of
Hoover's determined drive to protect
the bosses profits from the demands
of the unemployed for unemployment
insurance. The charity vultures find
business good when millions of unem-
ployed starve, and are in hearty SYM

Not one single new step has been

WALKER SUBPOENA
FORCED BY IL. D.
Judge Dickers With
Tammany Henchmen

NEW YORK-After a weeks delay
with the usual Tammany manouvres
Magistrate Adolph Stern was pressed
into issuing subpoenas for the ap-
pearance of Mayor Walker and three
members of the Board of Estimate,
as witness in the trial of the Delega-
ton of the Unemployed Council who
were mercilessly beaten by the police
at the behest of the mayor.
The subpoenas we're forced out of
the court by Jacques Buitenkant, at
torney for the International Labor
Defense who is acting in behalf of
the delegation. Sam Nessin who was
beaten into an unconscious state by
the police is charged with melting to
riot. j. Louis Engdahl, chairman of
the delegation and candidate for
lieutenant governor on the Commu-
mist ticket, with Freda Jackson, Anna
Pogribsky and Robert Lealess are
charged with disorderly conduct.
When subpoenas we're demanded a
week ago it was quite obvious to all
present in court that Magistrate
Stern was playing for delay because
of the election, and the part it may
play in convincing the workers of the
necessity in supporting the Commu-
mist Party in the coming election.
When the demand upon the court
by the workers grew more insistent,
Magistrate Stern went into confer
ence in his chambers with Albert B.
Unger. chief assistant to District
Attorney Crane and after long delay
Stern came out with instructions
fromthe Tammany machine to issue
the subpoenas on condition that
they be served by the court instead
