.JOBLESS DRIVEN
FROM AGENCY

NEW YORK. The Downtown
Unemployed Council held meeting
before the fake city job agency where
thousands of workers were rushed
out because it was overcrowded and
no jobs on hand. One of the clerks
said to the workers: "You must leave
this place by orders of the Board of
Health. This place is getting con-
gested."
About $500 listened to Unemployed
Council speakers. Milton Stone
pointed out fake agency send work.
ers to jobs paying as low as 81 a
day. And most of the time when
workers apply for these jobs they
are told there are no jobs after be-
ing forced to spend last penny for
carfare on wild goose chase.
At the end of the meeting a group
marched down to 81 E. 4th Street
where an indoor meeting was held
and many workers joined the coun-
Gil. Hundreds of signatures were
secured for workers bill.
A meeting will be held at 22nd
and Broadway at 10 a. m. today for
the workers lined up at the Emery
ency Bureau at 22nd and 4th Avenue,
as well as the usual downtown meet
ing.

Atlanta LID. Will
Give Concert Dec. %
at Workers Center

ATLANTA, Dec. IL. - Due to the
terror facing the entire working class
in the South, the activities of the
Atlanta Branch of the International
Labor Defense are somewhat limited,
nevertheless the branch is making
every effort to participate in all the
campaigns of the national I. L. D.
In connection with the months
plan of the I. L. D., the Atlanta
branch has started a membership
drive and is meeting with notable
success. Several new members were
recently recruited, and the prospects
are very good.
The branch has arranged a concert
for December %, which will be held
in the Workers Center. One of the
features of the affair will be one
act proletarian play. A well-known
artist will also draw pictures of those
present.
The International Workers Order
and it's Women's section are actively
helping to make this affair a sue

defense of the Atlanta defendants
and other class war prisoners of
whom there are hundreds through

ing conducted by the I. L. d.

REJECT JOBLESS
RELIEF DEMANDS
Hartford Mayor Elects
Delegate

HARTFORD, Dec. Unlocking
discussion on unemployment relief by
a motion to adjourn, the boss poll
ticians of the board of aldermen re-
fused the flor to spokesman of the
unemployed workers of this city, and
called police thugs to eject Nat Rich
ards, an organizer of the Trade
Union Unity League.
Mayor Patterson and the board OF
aldermen attempted to push aside
the whole question of relief for the
unemployed by referring to the legis-
lative committee resolution from
the Trade Union Unity League de-
handing adequate relief and unem-
ployment insurance. Patterson had
first tried to ignore the resolution
altogether on the pretext that it was
not introduced by an alderman. He
thought it better, however, to at
tempt to fool the jobless workers by
a pretense of accepting the resolution
and then referring it to the legisla-
tive committee where it would be
killed.
A melting of unemployed workers,
held later at 81 Albany Ave-, de-
nounced the action of the mayor and
the board of aldermen and made
plans for a mass demonstration at
the melting of the legislative commit
tee when the demands of the unem-
ployed are promised consideration. ,

Chi. Needle Trades
Cabaret, Dec. "a, to
Help Fight PiecewOrk

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE Chicago
company union in the cloak trade
has legalized piece work, reorganiza-
ton and all other evils that go with
it. To pull the wool over the eyes
of the cloakmakers, this legalization
of piece work was done-via "refer-
endum." The clique in charge knew
the results before the count was
made, they are old time experts or
referendums and balloting in general
If any cloakmakers were still in
doubt about the bunk that the clique
handed out in the propaganda that
they gave out such as, less unemploy-
ment, ETC., they will soon see fol
themselves.
The Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union has warned the cloak
makers of this situation and is today
making a fight for work, against re-
organization and for real union con-
ditions and union control.
The $4,000 Organize and Strike
Fund Campaign conducted nationally
by the N. T. w. I. U. will help to a
great measure in organizing the Nee
die Workers for this fight and as
part of this campaign the Chicago
Union will hold a Russian Cabaret

MILWAUKEE JOBLESS DEMONSTRATE
FOR RELIEF DEMANDS OF T.U.U.L.
Bosses Jail Two Delegates, But Are Forced to
Hear Workers Denounce Their Fake
Promises and Maneuvers

, floor to speak for the jobless de-
mands. The council ordered their
arrest, and they were dragged out
of the room, but not before they had
told the aldermen that they were a
bunch of takers and grafters who
did not give damn about the mis-
cry of the workers. In court they
were sentenced to 20 days by an
other faker for telling the truth
about the aldermen, one of whom is
a socialist" upholding the interests
of the bosses against the working
class.
The militancy of the workers, how
ever, forced the council to allow the
delegates of the unemployed to speak
before them at a subsequent meet
ing. Ross told the council that the
working class would not stand for the
excuses and buncomb much longer.
Charles Green and Frank Faye, other
members of the delegation, told how
workers families we're actually starv-
ing while the bosses and their char
ity organizations were taxing them
with promises or with sloppy coffee
and stale bread, for which they force
the workers to crawl on their bellies
DietZ, the socialist" member O,
the council, ridiculed the demands of
the unemployed, calling them "im-
possible, confiscatory and unconstitu-
tional."
In summing up for the unemployed
Ross told the council, and, in par
ticular, the Shiny Socialists" (from
the socialist" Mayor Hoan DOWN,
that the committee would again come

Chicago Workers Club
DenOunce Attacks On
the FOreign Bor n

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-At meeting
of the North Side Scandinavian
Workers Club, a resolution was I'M
animously adopted denouncing the
bosses attack on the foreign born
workers and calling upon all workers,
particularly the Scandinavian work
ers, to rally to defeat the efforts of
the bosses and their agents to rush
through the Congress bills antag-
onistic to the foreign born workers.
The resolution points out that the
real purpose behind these bills is to
tie teh hands of the foreign born
workers and prevent their organiza-
ton to protect their kages and con-
ditions, thus opening the way for fur
ther intensified attacks on the living
conditions of the working class as a
whole.

.L.S.N.R. Orders Meets
to Hear Report of the
St. Louis Convention

NEW YORK.-At its second meet
ing since the st. Louis Convention
the Board of Directors of the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights for
mulated a plan of immediate activi-
ties which include the calling OF
meetings of American Negro Labor
Congress locals for the purpose OF
hearing reports on the convention and
voting on affiliation with the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights.
1t was also decided to call meet
ings throughout the country of the
delegates who attended the various
anti-lynching conferences for the
purpose of hearing reports on the
convention so that the delegates can
report to their respective organiza-
lions on the decisions of the con-
vention and on the aims and pro-
grams of the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights which was created at
the convention.
The board decided that the main
question to be stressed at these meet
ings must be support for the Liberia
tor, with the question of utilization
to the League as secondary. This
the board points out, does not mean
that utilization is unimportant, but
that the question of support for the
Liberator is most important and at
the same time opening the way fol-
the question of affiliation.

EAGLE PENCIL
WORKERS RETURN
Must Organize to Re-
sist Boss Attacks

NEW YORK.-The strike of the
Eagle Pencil workers is over, but the
workers are called upon to organize
In the factory and to form depart
ment committees to cary on the
struggle against wage-cuts and to re-
sist any efforts on the part of the
bosses to discriminate against the
leaders of the strike.
For a week the factory was prac-
tically closed. The workers came out
on strike splendidly, in spite of their
inexperience in conducting a strug-
gle. With more organization and
real militancy and larger participa-
ton on the picket line, the workers
could have stopped anyone from go
ing into the factory.
Because of the situation, the work
ers gave in to the promise of the
boss that there would be no discrim-
nation if the workers returned,
thereby giving up the fight against
the wage-cut at this time.
The Trade Union Unity League
pointed out to the workers that the
boss was only lying in order to get
them back, and would soon fire the
best fighters and leaders of the
strike. The Trade Union Unity
League is opposed to wage-cuts and
is in favor of fighting these wage
cuts by continued struggle.
Although the strike is now lost the
fight against wage-cuts and rotten
working conditions must continue
The experience gained by the work.
ers in the strike will enable them to
organize to successfully combat fur
ther attempts of the bosses to worsen
conditions.
Workers realize that the bosses
promise to Hoover not to cut wages
is bunk. Wages are being cut every
day. Mr. William Green and the
American Federation of Labor are
opposed to strikes against wage-cuts
and betray every movement of the
workers. Only the Trade Union
Unity League and its affiliated unions
struggle against the bosses-against
wage-cuts, layoffs and for better con-
ditionS.

RAPS BUS LINE
JIMCROW POLICY
Fishwick Greyhound
Insults Negroes
BY HENRY SHEPARD.

(Field Organizer Of the L. S. N. RI
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8.-After
paying $3.50 for the doubtful privi-
lege of being a passenger on one of
the buses operated by the Pickwich-
Greyhound lines, had a good taste
of some of the subtle methods the SO
rulers of the United States use to
foster race hatred between the Ne
gro and white workers.
If you are Negro worker, in adj
dition to being robbed right and left
by the bosses, you are met with the
added affront of jim-crowism after
paying your hard-earned dollars for
transportation. Negro workers are
told they must sit in the rear of the
buses, even in states where TIE boss
class has not yet 'legalized" jim
crowism. The drivers of the buses
are instructed to carry out this Jim
Grow policy.
Also, all of the comfort stations
and restaurants owned or controlled
by the Pickwick- Greyhound Bus Line
attempt to Jim Grow Negroes travel
ing on this line. We were told we
would have to eat in the kitchen or
take our food in a paper and eat it
outside.
That the white workers in these
places are not over anxious to carry
out the bosses policy of treating
Negro workers like a caste of I'M
touchables, was made evident several
times when the mattresses in these
places took my orders and served me,
to be later bawled out by the boss.
A waitress in a small town in Col
orado told the boss a few things when
this happened and quit the job on
the spot.
Another significant thing, showing
how the big bosses try to introduce
the Jim Grow system everywhere, is
that in several towns where I was
refused service in the Pickwick-
Greyhound places, I was able to go
right next door. and get service in a
place owned by local bosses.
Negro and white workers must or
ganize to carry on a more intensified
struggle against this vicious attempt
of the bosses to split the ranks of the
working class BY isolating the Negro
workers. On with the fight for COM
plete equality of the Negroes with all
other nationalities, for the right of
self determination of the Negro ma
jorities in the Black Belt, for the
confiscation of the land for the Ne
groes who work the land, for the
death penalty for all lynchers!

Cotton Mill Workers
Wages Have Decreased
Statistics Revealed
Nv A. HEDER.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Wages OF
the cotton mill workers in the state
of Connecticut have decreased &C
cording to the Bureau Labor Statis-
tics of the Department of Labor.
In 1928 the hourly rate was 39,1c,
in 1880 it decreased to 1880. Weekly
wages decreased from $1986 to $19.46.
The average number of working
hours per week still remains constant
at 50.8 hours.
The statistics leave out the number
of cotton workers thrown out of work
because of naturalization and the
introduction of new and improved
machinery. In reality the workers
are putting out more work in the
same number of hours with less pay.

Big Lumber Merger
in Northwest Add
to Unemployment

SEATTLE, Dec. 12.-The announces
ment was made recently that the
Weyerhauser Timber Company will
be combined with three smaller
Northwest Lumber Companies, the
merger involving many millions of
dollars. This merger, it is announced,
will make possible great savings in
running expenses, including labor.
The Weyerhauser interests control
directly, or indirectly by interlock-
ing directorates, tremendous part
of the lumber output, not only in
the Northwest but in the Middlewest.
This will mean for the workers in
creasing unemployment, increasing
speed-up. 1t shows the increasing
ly open growth of the trust and how
large capital is swallowing smaller
firms.
