whatsoever. No overtime work shall

troll of the workers.
"9.-All workers arrested for rep

AIN presenting these demands,
which the delegation will report to
the councils of unemployed at the
mass meeting in Bronx Coliseum,
March 19, at 8 o'clock, the delega-
tion warns the workers to have no
illusion that the city government
will grant these measures of partial
relief, although they are well within
the material possibilities now exist
ing. Only by the way Of revolution
ary mass action can the workers
fight for these immediate demands,
as well as fight against the whole
capitalist system with its inevitable
consequences of crisis and unem-
ployment. Only by the establish
ment of a workers and farmers
government, Soviet state, such as
now is successfully building social
ist society in the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics can the workers
finally solve the problem of unem-
ployment."
The meeting in Bronx Coliseum
is called by the Communist Party,
| the Trade Union Unity League and
by the Councils of Unemployed.
Defense at Commune Meetings.
1t follows closely the enthusiastic
meeting of $4,000 workers Sunday
in the same hall, for the defense of
the Soviet Union, where members
of the committee also spoke on the
unemployment situation, and the big
meeting called by the International
Labor Defense, in honor of the Paris
Commune, to be held at 8 p. M, to-
night, at Central Opera House, 9th
st. and Third Ave, which again
will be a rallying point for defense
of the 1,11S workers arrested just
before, after or during the March &
demonstration, at which the COM
mittee in New York was also ar
rested.
In addition, numerous meetings OF
the unemployed and of the militant
unions are being held to elect dele
gates to the New York City Con-
ference of Unemployment, to be held
March 27, just after the trial of
the committee, in Manhattan Ly-
ceum. All over the country, similar
meetings are taking place to elect
representatives to the National Con-
ference on Unemployment, called
by the T.U.U.L. and the Councils OF
the Unemployed, to meet in New
York, March 29. These meetings
elect labor jurors to try the capital
list courts which plan to railroad the
committee.
A series Of protest meetings in the
industrial cities Of the country
against the police attacks on the
March demonstration continues.
