That Alexander Howat, president of

SHOW THEY KNOW
THEIR ENEMIES
Negro Jobless Hit Cap.
Politicians

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The pres
sure of unemployment is felt more
and more every day by the workers
in general, but the Negro workers
in particular and over 200 Negro
workers arranged a demonstration
in the 5000 block of Wabash Ave,
last Tuesday and Wednesday--two
days in succession, both times in
the afternoon. Although the DEM
onstration was organized spontane-
ously by the above group without
the knowledge of the unemployed
council, the slogans that they car
ried showed that the Negro work
ers do not depend upon charity, but
demand that the government give
them unemployed relief.
One of the slogans read, "The
Baptists raised 10000 dollars for
charity, but we don't get one cent
for the unemployed" Another
read, "You are lynching the Ne
SIOSS, DuU IlliS 10 ilOG hllllllS OHChi
off fast enough, you are starving
us to death through unemploy-
ment." 1--WE want work or funds. "
1t is very significant to note that
the demonstration was conducted in
front of the house of politician
jackson "a Negro, who kept on
promising the Negro workers work
if they would vote for him. The
Negro workers were able to show
him up very clearly as an agent of
the corrupt capitalist machine of
Chicago, and they demanded work
or wages from him. He told the
Negro workers to wait, in the mean
time, he called the Cadillac squad to
disburse the demonstration. The
squad did not dare to break up the
demonstration because the Negro
workers were very militant.
The following day, a committee
was sent to the Baptist convention
at the Coliseum, where the con-
vention is now taking place. They
tried to get the floor to speak on
unemployment and state their de-
mands for unemployed relief. They
were refused the floor.

PREVIOUSLY FIRED
All Out on Sept. LIST to
Demand Relief

(BB Worker Correspondent
On Aug. 21st, the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad shops in Baltimore
laid off $500 workers until Sept
list. Several weeks ago, $500 work
ers were laid off in the same
plant. And according to reliable
information a big lay-off will take
place in the month of October. Thus
we see the decrease" in unemploy-
ment which the bosses want to make
the workers believe, and to which
the A. F. of L. labor takers sub
scribe.
B. & o. Slave Plan.
The leaders of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor which adopted the
notorious B. & 0. plan of "indus-
trial democracy" have helped to
create this situation by claiming
the workers to the chariot of the
B. & o. bosses. The cooperative
plan" accepted by the A. F. of L. Of
ficialdom has made the workers
work faster under an inhuman
speed-up, which brought about an
overproduction of engines, and as
a result of which the workers are
being thrown out of work.
There are at present $50 engines
ready for use on the road but they
must stand idle as there is not
enough traffic at the present time
The labor leaders give the excuse
for the bosses that this lay-off is
only help to the workers-and
that the workers have to realize
the bad situation in which the
bosses are in.
Fight For Relief!
In the Bethlehem Steel mills, the
plate mills were shut down for sew
eral days. The Mutual Chemical
has laid off workers this week. At
the same time more speed-up and
wage cuts are given to tie workers
still employed. $4,000 workers roam
the streets of Baltimore unable to
find employment.

The bosses are compelled to sur
round the factories with police to
keep the workers from reading the
facts about the class struggle; about
wage cuts and the fight for the So

want the workers in the Kayser

the miserable wages of $14 per

But the cops can't stop the Daily
Worker from reaching the workers
in the Kayser plant, or anywhere
else. With the growing crisis, the
workers are beginning to realize
that they mus organize under revo-

effectiveness of the Daily Worker
