Summary of Subscriptions
1877 New Subs and
131 Renewals in Week

In one week the Daily Worker office re-
ceived 1871 new subscriptions and 1S1 re-
newals which shows the biggest increase so
far in the mail circulation but not much
as should be expected during campaign. 140
subscribers we're dropped off the list during
the week either because of moving and leaving
no address because they we're far overdue
and unable to continue.
The table indicates paid-in- advance subscrip-
tons are increasing and that overdue subs are
going down, which is what it should be. How
ever, figures on subscriptions which are overdue
are complete only to November /. Overdue subs
since then are shown as paid-in-advance subs
due to the fact that expirations are compiled
by the month. For this reason the figures ap-
pear better than they are. drop will appear
after the first of the month.

Unemployment Insurance Must Be Won!

York City on November II, and has
launched a national signature cam
paign for the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill. This confer
ence was attended by delegates from
twenty national workers organiza-
t$ions and elected a National Com
mittee of twenty members. Local
conferences will be held in all in
dustrial centers before December 15
By January IS the local conferences
will elect a quota of delegates, who
will meet in Washington, D. G. about
January Is, to lay the bill before the
U. S. Congress and demand enact
ment. Signature lists will be issued
and the Bill will be backed up by a
million or more signatures of unem-
ployed and employed workers.
The workers must have no illu-
sions as to this demand for unem-
ployment insurance. Only through
the most militant struggle, by dem
onstrations, ETC., will the workers
procure any relief. Therefore, the
campaign for signatures will be coup
led with struggles for local relief, for
the prevention of evictions, etc. with
strikes against wage cuts, struggles
against speed-up, for the seven-hour
day, five-day week. The unemployed
councils and revolutionary unions
must be built up, SO that the cam
paign will have a soundly trussed
organizational structure.
The National Committee calls on
the workers to condemn and expose
all schemes of charity coming from
Hoover to Green and Norman Tho
mas. 1t calls on the workers to de-
mand unemployment insurance
Around this issue the millions Of

morrow at $50, followed by a mass
meeting there at 8 p. m, at which
Anna Louise Strong, just back from

speaker.
The heart of Pratt's remarks is as
follows quoted from the capitalist
press):
Avoiding War!
Make no mistake. If we wish to
avoid war we can in all possibility
do so with a fleet second to none.
Without it we must be forced in
against our wishes"
Discussing what he characterized
as that group in whom the seeds of
anarchy and rebellion reside, that
believes in war, revolution or any
means which we consider fair or
foul, to spread its own conception
of government and social order
throughout the world" he said:
THE world in which they live and
the one in which we live are so
totally different that the two can
not exist side by side indefinitely
without great compromise on one
side or the other, or war ultimately
may result. They may openly pro-
claim war or any means to attain
their ends, and if that be so then
some day it may fall to our lot to
meet the challenge.
ut is useless to hide our heads
in the sand like the ostrich and
think we are safe fom destruction in
the face of such determined, subtle
policy"

against the unemployed, a wage
slashing drive has taken place and
is being intensified. Millions of work.
ers are working part time and are
near the hunger line. The morgan
lied workers have had their wages
cut mercilessly, but now the cam
paign will be directed also against
the orgsaized workers. The employ
ers are determined to lower the
wages and conditions of the entire
working class, to speed them up ruth
lessly and thus throw more hundreds
of thousands into the army of the
unemployed.
Thus the struggle of the unemploy-
ed and employed workers becomes a
joint struggle-one that must be
carried on with all energy and mill
fancy.
The foreign born and Negro work
ers have been the objects of special
attack by the capitalists and the gov
eminent. The militant foreign born
workers face the threat of deporta-
ton for struggling for working class
demands. The Negro workers face
a fearful lynch-terror at the hands
OF the capitalists, who hope to crush
the rising spirit Of rebellion among
the Negroes and to deepen the chasm
between the white and colored work.
ers. The workers must unite against
these attacks of the bosses.
To get out of the crisis, the gov
eminent is making feverish prepa-
rations for war, especially against the
Soviet Union. Fearing the splendid
achievement of the Five-Year Plan
which has abolished unemployment
increased wages and lowered hours
while socialist industry and collec.

at the same time, the crisis is grow
ing in the capitalist and colonia
countries, the capitalists think they
can avert the coming clash with the
workers by pointing to the Soviet
Union as the cause of the world cri-
sis. Millions of workers will refuse
to accept their propaganda, and will
defend the Soviet Union against their
attacks.
We workers are determined not
to starve, but to fight. 1t is mad
to believe that we who produce all

We demand unemployment insur-

The chaplain got mad and said;
Everybody stand up. If anyone of

wise, if you don't want to pray, get

So everybody got up and started to
sing and it looked like crazy house,
each one was singing in his own way.
Then we were told to stop singing
and six preachers, one after another,

that god is the foundation of every

In fact, it is doubtful if it was even
a useful fake to Fish, for there re-
suited in spite of all he could do
much counter propaganda from the
point of view of Fish. Chief in this
latter class was the complete blast
ing of the Whalen documents, the
forgeries which got the Fish COM
mittee appointed in the first place.
Fist stated that his committee
would propose that the authority OF
the department of justice be extended
over the investigation Of the propa-
ganda and other activities Of Com
munists in this country. That is the
new federal spy service, ana 1t will
be used against Communists and all
militant workers whether Comrnu-
nists or not.
Fish also stated that his commit
tee will recommend that the federal
deportation laws be strengthened and
immigration restrictions be made ap-
plicable directly to Communists and
to countries which the United States
does not recognize. This probably
involves registrations, etc. It means
that membership in the Communist
Party becomes grounds for deporta-
ton, which is to legalize an inter-
probation already illegally in force by
the department of labor in the Viku~
KEEL and Serio and other cases, also
by the department Of state in the

PORTLAND, Ore.--A political move
hides behind a fake effort to relieve
unemployment in Portland. The
workers of Portland are not to be de-
ceived by the so-called committees,
official and otherwise.
The mayors committee of civic
leaders," a semi official group, have
met and all the prominent business
men and politicians have been either
telling how they have not cut wages
(much), or laid off any employees
since the crisis set in, or they have
been crying how hard it is to plan
public works" relief with the tax
conservation committee to check on
them.
This tax conservation committee is
all that worries the grafters as they
do not want to have discussed the
proceeds of their thievery any further
than they can help.
Committees Galore
With the addition of this latest
Committee Portland is feeling like the
seat of Hooverites. Seven commit
tees, some of them three months old,
have been appointed by different Or
ganizations to Cooperate with the
mayor to relieve" unemployment.
The governor Of the state is not as
deceitful as most grafters are, as he
has merely called a meeting to form
q committee to stimulate business.
They will continue their efforts to
make Oregon an economic Island by
yodelling, "Buy in oregon" with

Fully Half Force Fired.
The shutting down of half Of the
Studebaker plant means that these
workers are virtually discharged and
thrown among the vast army of I'M
employed workers to starye and
freeze this winter.
The unemployment situation is
acute here. Men and women workers
are walking the streets begging and
women workers are offering to sell
their bodies for a piece of bread for
themselves and children. One young
woman worker walked into store
and instead of buying something she
offered to sell her body in order to
buy milk and shoes for her father
less children.
No Real Relief.
The capitalist papers are full of
unemployment plans for relief but
there is not concrete step being
taken to provide jobs for the 10000
unemployed workers, who walk the
streets day and night, hungry, sick
and cold.
They have here social welfare COM
mittees and the Salvation Army but
the crooks at the head of these or
CARNATIONS only talk and fool the
workers.

The school children came home the
other day with cards from their
teachers, regarding unemployment.
The card says: "You are helping the
South Bend public schools to pro-
vide the social welfare committee
with information regarding unem-
ployment." Every worker here knows
that the number of jobless workers
in South Bend Is we'll above the
10000 mark. And all this investigat-
ing by the ruling class to sidetrack

ance.
Make Demands on City.
The Unemployed Council sent a
delegation OF members to see the
mayor last Saturday, but "his royal
highness' hearing that the workers
were coming did not show his nose
up at the City Hall all day.
The Unemployed Council and the
unemployed workers generally are
determined to put up strong fight
against charity and staggerism in
South Bend and that is evident by
the ever increasing numbers at the
Unemployed Council meetings.

CHICAGO, Ill.-On Saturday, Nov.

registered as per instructions of the
Governor Ernmerson Committee for
Unemployment Relief. This commit
tee is like all the other committees
of the bosses. The sole purpose of
such a committee is to fool the work.
ers into thinking that the bosses will
dc something for them. The Unenl-
ployed Councils of the Trade Union
Unity League distributed leaflets to
the workers, exposing the fake regis
tration and asking the unemployed
workers to Join the unemployed coun-
ellis and organize and fight for real
unemployment relief. A mass meet
ing was called for 8 o'clock in the
afternoon at the various headquar-
tiers Of the unemployed councils.
Get New Members.
The meeting called at 400 S. Hal
sted st. was rather we'll attended
and about 8 o'clock young woman,
who said she was news reporter
for the Evening American, came in
and wanted to stay and make re-
port for the paper for which she is
working. OF course we let her stay
and one of the comrades told her in
plain words that she could stay, but
when she made her report that she
should tell the truth. She began
arguing about the suffering" of the
Russian workers. We got 10 new
members for the unemployed council.
100000 Jobless In Chicago.
We watched the papers for the re-
port, but as yet there has been moth
ing said of the meeting, and we're
sure there won't be. The capitalists
are working overtime to fool the
workers. Here in Chicago there are
at least 100000 unemployed workers
and all that the city administration
has done for the unemployed Is to
make all sorts of promises. In the
meantime they have opened the old
county Jail for the workers to sleep
in. Thousands of workers are sleep
ing under Wacker Drive, in old dis
carded buildings and huts made Of
tin and boards from the railroad cars.
During the warmer weather the I'M
employed slept in Grant Park. So
many slept there that the park is now
called Hoover Hotel by many work.

Workers See Fake Schemes.
The capitalist papers announced
that 100000 workers were going to
register, but at the end of the regis
trations there were only 10000, which
means that thousands of workers
know that this registration was not
going to do them any good and did
not bother registering.
The workers are very much dis
gusted with the state Of affairs and
this winter will see thousands in DEM
onstrations against hunger. The
workers are beginning to realize That
they must fight against charity and
demand real unemployment insur-
ance as proposed in the Workers So
cial Insurance Bill. This bill must
be popularized and get workers to
sign the petitions demanding that
this bill shall be passed. Organize
squads to go from house to house
and get workers to signl Appeal to
employed workers to sign and thus
draw in all the workers in the strug-
gle for unemployment relief!
