Crash the Bosses
Fake Conference

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 3.-General
e. Leroy Sweeser, state commissioner
of labor, and his fake conference on
unemployment was forced to listen to
the demands for unemployment re-
lief presented by the Unemployed
Council. The general had called to-
gether the representatives of the most
reactionary employers organizations,
as well as the fascist labor takers of
the A. F. L., in order to make a pre-
tense at solving the unemployment
situation. The delegation of the I'M
employed Council consisted of Fred.
Biedenkapp, representing the Trade
Union Unity League; Nat Kaplan,
district organizer Of the Communist
Party; Johnson, an unemployed
marine worker, and Brown, an old
Spanish War Veteran, now unem-
ployed, forced their way into the
conference.
Expose Fraud
After denouncing the conference
as fake body, the unemployed dele
cation walked out. In the meantime.
the Unemployed Council of Boston
is gaining new members every day
and is carrying on the struggle
against evictions, against the fake
employment agencies and for imme-
mediate unemployment relief.

Rush Drive to Put Ten More

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 3.-The
were accepted by the Secretary of
State after almost double the sig
natures for these candidates were
handed in. The Communists now on
the ballot are: Fred Bassett Blair,
for Governor, now serving a years
sentence in Milwaukee County Jail in
the city of Socialist" Mayor Hoan,
for leading $4,000 Milwaukee work
ers in the March 9th struggle for
work or wages; William Clark, for
Lieutenant Governor, former worker
in the big shops in Milwaukee, such
as International Harvester and Har-
nishfeger, and now Wisconsin secre-
tary of the T. U. U. L. ard District
Committee member of the Communist
Party; Ed. Nehmer for Secretary of
State, now on a state tour for the
election campaign, and William Mar
tilla of Superior, candidate for At
torney- General.
In a few days a mass delegation
of workers will officially inform Fred
Bassett Blair of his acceptance in the
county Jail, and Bassett Blair will
send out a statement to the Milwau-
kee workers through the delegation
that Jail has only intensified his revo-
lutionary spirit, and urging all work
ers to carry on the fight to elect
Communists in November.
With only a few days left to file
the nomination papers for ten other
candidates in the county and city
and 5000 more signatures needed, the
Communist Party is putting on a big
drive to have more than $4,000 sigma :

they will cast their vote for the
Communist Party in November.
To register in some states the
native born have to bring their
school certificates. The naturalized
first voters have to bring their school
diploma, to show they passed the
'1iteracy test" A few days before
registration, the Board of Education
designates a number of public schools
to be open evenings to naturalized
citizens who have to pass the literacy
test.
There is no great difficulty in this,
just reading printed page from a
book or paper. Those who voted in
the past do not have to have this
test, nor must they bring their citi-
zenship papers. They must state
when they voted last. Those who
vote for the first time must have
their naturalization papers with them.

In number of states, after you
have registered and signed, you will
be given an enrolment blank on
which is printed the names of the
legally recognized political parties
This is done in order to designate
your political parties in next years
election. This has nothing to do with
registration or voting Nov. 4. 1t is
only scheme of the boss class for
the purposes of the primaries, in
which the boss parties take part. The
Communist Party boycotts the capt.
talist primaries. Turn the enrolment
blank back unmarked.

Bankers with Bellies Full
Listen to Hoover Lies
UNLOAD ON WORKERS
Billions of Relief" for Big
Bosses, but Nothing for
Jobless

CLEVELAND, Oct 4. - Bankers
with their bellies full listened to
Hoover yesterday while outside police
armed with clubs, tear gas bombs
billies, on orders from the imperialist
chief, viciously dubbed down 5000
men, women and children asking for
bread.
Inside the convention hall of the
American Bankers Association, a
small group of fat exploiters and
their diamond -bedecked wives, who
sweat billions of dollars in profits out
of the exploitation of the workers
listen to Hoover call on them to save
capitalism.
Outside, 5000 unemployed men,
their wives and children demon
strating for unemployment insurance
for bread or work, attacked by a
whole army of police on motorcycles,
horseback and on foot.
Hundreds of women and children
were trampled and beaten so that
blood flows freely on the streets
Hundreds of men, valiantly fighting
back against the armed boss thugs
are beaten down with clubs.
Communists Lead
The vast majority of the unem-
ployed who marched on Public Hall,
where Hoover spoke, were not men,
bers of the Communist Party. They
were led in their demand for unem-
ployment insurance by the Commun-
list vanguard who had called for a
mighty demonstration at Public
Square to greet" the imperialist
chief.
This is what you mean by relief"
scoundrely Hoover, when the unem-
ployed demand bread? This is your
policy, the policy of the "59" rich

FELLOWS
LAUNCH DRIVE

The annual call to deeds has
been sounded. Come on. Be a
good fellow. The Good Fellows
are beng organized.
Today the organization of Good
Fellows, sponsored by The Wash
ington Times extends an invita-
ton to all individuals an oppor-
tunity to do good, to give sub
stantial help, to consider Christ
mas spirit in making a real Christ
mas for those who otherwise may
be left out.
The poor Of the city, the needy,
destitute ~:ld deserving have been
looking eargerly to it. Good Eel
lows provide up to Christmas and
beyond in a great many cases.
Needed This Year
The organization is needed more
this year than for many years past
due to extra number of destitute
families and people brought on by
the financial depression and un-
employment. Many who had
plenty last Christmas, now are
without food and proper clothing.
Hundreds of youngsters in Wash
ington are without proper clothing
for this season. They are asking
Santa Claus to bring the needed
clothes to them. So you be their
Santa. You'll get a great kick out
of it and your own Christmas will
be made all the more merrier for
your giving.
The members of the organiza-
tion are men, women and even
children, who are willing to help
and who do help to make Christ
mas something more than a mere
date for those who are in real
honest-to-goodness need at this
time.
How do you become a Good
Fellow? It's simple. Read the
Good Fellows blank. Fill it out
with your name, address and tele-
phone number. Then mail it to
the Good Fellows editor, at The
Washington Times, Hearst Build
ing, Washington, D. C.
Other Years Work
From time to time The Good
Fellows editor will tell some OF
the wonderful experiences of those
doing good. No names will be
mentioned. No one except the edi-
tor Of the Good Fellows knows
what another Good Fellow is
doing. No one will know except
the Good Fellow and his particu-
lar case what is going on. That's
the beauty of it.
In past years the Good Fellows
took care of hundreds of persons
at Christmas. Sometimes it was
only q little medicine. Once in a
while it was a basket of food.
Come on. Be Good Fellow.
