Denver JobIess
Throng Shark Offices
Denver, Colo.

Daily Worker
You can't even buy job in Den
yer. In spite of the statements of
the Denver Post that Colorado is
the "bright spot in the business
depression" and that no depression
exists in Colorado, layoffs continue
and jobs are scarcer than hens
| teeth
Beet digging will start in
couple of weeks, and already crowds
of men are forming every morning
before the free" employment
agency of the Great Western Sugar
Co. hoping for jobs. This morning
there were about 300 men standing
around.
Job Sharks.
The sharks are willing to take
your fee, all right, but when you
get to where the job was supposed
to be there isn't any job! And
then just try to collect. One
worker gave the shark his last $40.
and when he found that another
guy had already taken the job he
came back and demended his money
back. The shark told him just
where to go to, and the worker
gave him couple of black eyes,
and the shark then called the cops.
The cops advised the employment
shark to give the worker his money,
saying that it would be better not
to raise row about it. However,
this is just one instance out of
many, and usually the worker can
just whistle for his money.
No Work Anywhere.
Some agencies ask 50 per cent OF
your first months wages, in adj
vance, and then, if you are laid off
at the end of couple of weeks,
maybe you're made about $40 clear.
The expected rise" hasn't shown
up in the biscuit factories, and most
of the places you &C

rumor that a certain company il

crowd of workers apply for the
job.

prove to the workers Of Buffalo that
the conditions in 1880 are better than
in the previous years. The only
trouble is that the workers who are
walking the streets and looking for
job cannot feed themselves on CAPT.

something in order to secure food and

Tar7an,any Police
And Fascist Fail to
Break Red Meeting

Several Tammany policemen and
a group of Italian Fascist failed to
disrupt a Communist election cam
paign meeting at Blocker and Nc
Dougal streets Saturday night. A
crowd of 200 had gathered when the
police appeared, showed Comrade
Vince off the platform and scattered
the audience By threats of arrest.
The meeting was reorganized and
Communist candidate for Congress
~en',~o~',4 mounted the platform.
Immediately he, as well as Comrades
Jack Rosen, Vince and Tom Defacio,
who is also candidate for Congress,
We're arrested. At the police station
the sergeant had to admit that Com
munists had the right to speak at
that corner.
The four comrades returned to the
meeting, While Defacio was speak
ing in Italian and exposing the Mus
solini regime in Italy, a number of
Italian fascist began disrupting the
meeting. Two loud reports which
sounded like revolver shots were
heard in the midst of the dense
crowd. The audience scattered and
it was found that the fascist had
set off a number of firecrackers in
order to break the meeting. The
meeting reassembled, and Defacio
challenged the fascist to appear at
the next meeting when, he stated,
members of the Anti Fascist AL
lance would be present to take care
of them. He called the leader of the
group of fascist present by name
and advised the Italian sympathizers
present to watch over him like a
good defense corps should. Italian
workers at the meeting walked over
to the group of fascist and they re-
treated and left the corner. These
same workers then offered to act as
guard for the speakers until they had
arri ed safely back at Section head
quarters. Wagenknecht closed the
meeting without further Interrupt
tions. Many II Lavorators were sold

NEW YORK. - Four thousand
workers of New York gathered in

described the attack being prepared
on the Soviet Union, partly by the
Fish Committee, and called for de-
tense of the Workers Fatherland,
the U. S. S. R. A resolution passed

EnedahI Tells Them
The Fish Committee in its last
New York session before going to
Chicago to carry on the wheat dump
ing fake charge against the Soviet
Union, heard with discomfort some
very plain facts from two Com
munist witnesses. One was Louis
Bebrits, editor of the Hungarian Ian
guage Communist paper "Uj Elore, 3"
and the other was, J. Louis Engdahl,
general secretary of the International
Labor Defense. Both stated they
were Communists, though Bebrits is
not citizen, and the Fish Committee
congressman threatened him directly
with deportation for his fearless
stand in favor of the dictatorship of
the proletariat, andShis fiat declara-
ton that when the great masses of
workers and farmers were convinced

AN UNEVpLOYMENT REMEDY

An interesting suggestion Of remedy
for unemployment, is advanced by the
American Legion Of California, which
offered lis suggestion at the recent ma
tional convention IN Boston.
In brief the Legion's plan for helping
reduce unemployment is to get rid OF
more than two and one-half million
aliens who are IN this country Illegally.
Statistics obtained by the Legion IRON
Washington, contain the nformatloh
that since 1921 at least 2.000,OOO alenS
have entered the United States illegally
and that they are continuing to come III
at the rate Of 250,000 to 100000 year.
It IS interesting to observe that the es-
timated number Of aliens III TINS country
Illegally. almost matches the total num-
ber OF unemployed as shown by govern
ment surveys.
I've are justified says the Legion,
"in the assumption that if we rid the
country Of the illegally entered alien, we
would rid ourselves Of the problem OF
unemp lovment, as we'll as much OF our
criminal and social welfare problems.
The suggestion appears to be good
one. and should have the careful consld-
GRAFTON of authorities at Washington.
Few of Us stop to think when we read OF
enumeration officers picking up men
and women for being here illegally, that
their presence here means the cutting
down of the demand for labor.
Were this the only undesirable condl-
ton that results from the illegal alien,
it would be bad enough. There is ample
proof, however, that much of our crifn-
inal activity in the metropolitan areas
en1anates from aliens, who may or may
not be here legally. If they have been
LEGALLY admitted to the country, this Grim
inal element forfeits its right to remain
here bv its disregard Of our laws.
The alien. entering legally and con-
ductine himself as he should, will always
be a welcome asset 10 the United States.
