wave of merciless wage cuts, while
the number of unemployed is not
lessened, since these workers sent
over by the Tammany Bureau are
replacing workers who are now out
on the streets.
Harriet Silverman, Communist
candidate in the Sixth Assembly
District, Manhattan, in speaking be-
fore the large crowd of unemployed
workers in front of the Tammany
agency, has pointed out the fake
methods employed by the three CAPT
talist parties in order to put their
candidates through in the coming
elections by fooling the workers. The
Unemployed Council of the Trade
Union Unity League which is or
ganizing these and other demonstra-
lions every day is calling a confer
ence of all unemployed workers in
Greater New York on Sept. % for
mobilization of all jobless around
the Communist ticket and the Com
mCnist demands for unemployment
insurance and immediate unem-
ployed relief.

SECOND BAZAAR CONF.
REPORTS BIG PROGRESS

The second Communist Press
Bazaar conference held last Wednes-
day night at the Workers Center,
was an example of working class
solidarity and support for the Com
munist Press. Most of the dele
gates were on hand with encourag-
ing reports of their activities since
the first conference.
Comrade Konigsberg of the In
dustrial Cloak Makers Union was
chairman, with Comrade Leisero-
witch as secretary.
Comrade Siegel of the Bazaar
Committee pointed out that the
bazaar activities have not yet suf-
ficiently developed among the
masses. Comrade Siegel reported
that forty booths have already been
arranged for with organizations.
The Bazaar Magazine has obtained
seventeen pages of advertisements
and greetings to the sum of S1700.
However, great deal of work yet
remains to be done. Honor roll
lists must be taken out advertise
ments and greetings secured for the
bazaar magazine at once as same

than Sept. %.

BOOT AND SHOE
MEETING REVOLTS
200 Score Scab Tricks;
Capture Platform

NEW YORK.-The scabby Boot
and Shoe Workers Union of the A.
f. of L. was repudiated at its own
meeting by over 200 workers in the
trade who assembled there Thursday.
The meeting was held in Lorraine
Hall, Brooklyn. The chairman
launched it off with an attack on
the Independent Shoe Workers
Union, which has earned a lasting
place in the hearts of the workers
by its courageous struggle for bet
ter conditions and against the lock-
out last year.
The speakers added to the bad
impression. Volt, a candidate on
the socialist ticket, boosted of the
amounts of money he made in the
insurance business. An Italian So
sial fascist from II Nuova Mundo
spoke and so did a faker from the
international Jewelry Workers.
Ivanoff, of the Independent Shoe
Workers Union, demanded the floor.
All the B. & S. W. U. gangsters
jumped up and menaced him and
the most of the workers there
jumped up to protect him. The
chairman had to give him the floor,
but as Ivanoff outlined the policies
of the struggle, or shop organiza-
ton, of raising the working condi-
tons, of fighting wage-cuts and Or
ganizing the unemployed, which the
I.S.W.U. advocated, and as he de-
scribed the rotten conditions in the
unorganized shops, with an average
wage of SIS or so for long work
week, the chairman kept pushing
him.
The workers demanded that Ivan
off be allowed to speak, and the
B. & S. W. U. gang arbitrarily ad.
journed the meeting and left.
The workers seized the platform
and speakers continued their prop
uganda for a real union. The gang
had the lights turned out and the
workers went downstairs and con-
tinued the meeting.

SOCIALISTS" OFFER
MILWAUKEE WORKERS
WATER AND HOT AIR
Communist Party Mobilizing Workers for I'm
employment Insurance

has already presented such bills in
Washington" But seeing that the
workers were interested in this
question, then our wise socialist"
in order to get out of this predica-
ment, knowing that the majority of
his listeners were relig i Gus,
squirmed here and there and then
starts up with god, raising his
hands up, and says: God created
everything necessary to live, wind,
air, sun, water, etc., but the repub-
licans and democrats do not give
this to the workers, but we So
cialists believe in the socialism that
god created for every one Of u.s."
But from the crowd a worker
says: "On the 9Th of March when
the unemployed workers numbering
$4,000 came to the City Hall and
demanded work or wages, Mayor
Hoan sent out the police and thugs
to club and beat the men, women,
and children. And then he compli-
mented the Milwaukee socialist or
gan, the Milwaukee Leader, and
then he praised the police for carry
ing out his orders in an excellent
manner"
No policemen were present DUR
ing all the time that the socialists
were speaking. But as soon as they
ended the meeting, the workers who
had asked the questions began to
talk to the workers who still be-
lieved the socialist betrayers, and
suddenly several policemen began
to dispense the workers, yelling out,
Break it up! "No Red meetings
here! and dispersed the workers.
The Communist Party of Mil
waukee is actually modelling the
workers, judging from the mass
demonstrations which were held
under the leadership of the Com
munist Party on March 6, May LIST,
August LIST and September 1st. Also
the numerous mass meetings and
open air meetings, and shop gate
meetings which are held daily
throughout the city. Another fact
is that nine of our most militant
fighters and leaders of the March
9Th demonstrations are now serving
terms in the house of correction.
And today, when the bosses and
their tools, the police and social
fascists, arrest the workers for the
distribution of literature, and ar
rests at meetings, ETC., the Com
munist Party continues its energetic
work by holding shop gate meet
ings, open air, where the speakers
of the Communist Party explain to
the workers the reasons for the
great unemployment and show how
the rotten capitalist system is de-
caying; exposing role of social
fascism and organizing the work
ers for struggle, to overthrow the
rule of the "59" such as Morgans.
MELONS, ETC., and to establish a
workers and farmers government.

IWW CALL COP; WORKER
TAKES HIS CLUB AWAY

NEW YORK; took the cops
club away when he tried to hit me
on the head with it," said a worker
in court yesterday. The cop, conf
dent that workers were made to be
ciubbed, admitted that this version
was true, and the judge was suffi-
GENTLY embarrassed not to carry
through the usual railroading for
"assaulting policeman" He gave
the man one day on top Of the three
he had already served.
This worker was arrested at a
Communist meeting at University
Place and 14th St., where Workers
Ex-Servicemen were speakers. The
l. ". ". had got police permit
for the same corner and came down
after the meeting had been going on
a long time with a well-known
faker named Dalton, a man utterly
without principles, who speaks for
any organization that will pay him.
Dalton wanted to speak and the
I. W. W. called the police to win
the corner.
A policeman came and tried to
pull Harrison of the Ex-Service-
mems League off the platform, the
crowd yelled "Let him speak," and
the Wobblies, whose meeting was
now completely deserted, started to
mill around in the crowd.
The cop began to WELD his club,
against Communists, not Wobs, and
the worker who was tried yesterday
took the club away. The cop then
drew his gun, planted it in the work
er's stomach, and, while everybody
expected another Katovis murder.
arrested him. Workers jerked the
cops gun away from the mans
stomach.

Nv l. IOKTS

MILWAUKEE, Wis.-Today in
this socialist" city while walking
the streets where the workers live
one can see how the capitalist watch
dogs on every corner are lying and
betraying the workers, so that they
may be able to secure more votes
for themselves, and secure them
selves with good city jobs with
plenty of graft.
One Saturday while collecting
signatures for the Communist can
didates l saw a group of workers
listening to a street corner meet
ing. They were Socialist" speak
ers. I listened to their heavenly
praise Of the socialist administra-
ton in the city of Milwaukee.
Among other things one speaker
said, "You know that in no other
city where the administration is
either republican or democratic
there is no place like ours. For IN
stance, in no other city is the water
so cheap as in Milwaukee, or the
taxes so low-some people do not
have to pay any at ALL"
Here is what the social fascists
Of Milwaukee rejoice at! 1t does
not bother them that thousands of
workers families have not even a
crust of bread in the housed Thou
sands of workers children go bare
footed and naked, and when it gets
cold not one of them will be able to
90 to school, because their parents
are thrown out of the factories into
the streets. After working years
in these factories today they have
not a penny to buy bread with for
their children; and here the social
fascist, try to gladden. the hearts
of the workers with their cheap
water, and hot air.
As to taxes: This is lie If the
taxes are cheaper it is only for the
business men and bosses. If
worker is lucky enough to have a
little shack, his taxes are growing
higher every year.
Before concluding he asked if
there were any questions. He
thought that the workers would
ask about the republican and demo-
cratic parties, but from the crowd
a worker asks this question: "You
say that there is great unemploy-
nent and miserable conditions, etc,
but you did not tell us how the So
cialist party intends to help these
unemployed. The Communist Party
has proposed the Unemployment
Social Insurance Bill for all work
ers unemployed, disabled or sick.
Another question: sour bosses in
Washington are preparing laws
against the foreign born workers,
such as registration, finger print
ing, etc. What do you socialists in
tend to do on this question:" Here
the speaker in order to answer, be-
gan to evade the questions, saying:

He said that it would not be a diff ficult thing, apparently, to have city officers and the officers of relief or ganizations hire men who have no other work, to be taken to the near est forest and set at work chopping wood. The wood would then be brought in for free distribution or sold at a nominal price. Men would be employed, no one would be with out firewood and relief funds would be distributed in a better way than by dole. Mir. Ross said that with an early start he felt sure the problem could be worked out in a sa.isfac- tory way.

 AT SCHOOL BUILDING
Continued From First Page)

What was thought to be fire was reflection of the sun against some woodwork, and the smoke proved to be steam escaping from the boiler, which was being put into commis- sion so as to dry out the part of the building that was soaked with water Friday night.
 No Clue to Incendiarism
 Sergeant NJ. J. Flynn of the local police department has made an in. vcstigation of the fire, spending most of his time trying to discover some body who had seen some young men talking together in the school yard about three hours before the fire. He found some boys who heard three men talking together. but could not learn that any remark had been made by any of the men that would indicate designs upon the school house.
 Chief William J. Noble made an inspection of the ruins md found evidence to prove that the fire had been burning perhaps an hour or
