CHICAGO MAYOR
PLAYS ON HUNGER
(By a Worker Correspondent

10y d worker correspondent
CHICAGO, Dec. 2.--Mayor Will
liam Hale Thompson has made an
appeal to the children. He has had
his upright" officers of the law
distribute handbills to the pupils of
the public schools. He uses the
police who have again and again at
tackled the demonstrations of the
workers, the police who beat up and
killed Isaac Wiesenberg, and a
Negro worker for fighting for bread
and jobs, to give but his leaflets APP
pealing to the children to get their
parents to vote for him, and bring
back the good times"
He says ITO stimulate business
and increase prosperity and to create
jobs for the unemployed 1 have
evolved plan whereby one million
dollars in awards will be presented
to the holders of coupons which will
be secured from storekeepers with
every Is cent purchase during my
million dollar prosperity drive. I
would like to have you ask your
fathers and mothers to ask the store
keepers with whom they trade if they
will have the mayors coupons dur
ing this drive.
1t is certainly impossible for any
one with or without "horse sense" to
see how this campaign will bring
back prosperity" 1t may make a
few more jobs for some more gang
sters, and for few more grafters,
but how it will afford jobs for the
parents of the hungry school child
rem is beyond our powers of magma
| ton.
The loving, thoughtful mayor
under whose hand fiourishes the
gangster world of Chicago, and all
the other grafters, under whose hand
there are now 100000 jobless, and
this amount is still on the increase,
has come to the conclusion that an
attempt must be made to fool the
workers into thinking that he will
do something for them.
1t took him fully two years to
realize that there are children going
to school with empty, gnawing
stomachs.
Yes, you're right, this realization
came just before another election.
Mayor Thompson is using the
children who are supposed to be i'm
partially taught in the schools Of
these United States to rally and foo,
the workers to vote for his fake
campaign to bring back the good
old times" But. the dear mayor
forgot to count on the Young Pion-
GERS of Chicago who are using every
available method to counterfeit this
poisonous propaganda.

Indoor meetings of the workers
and tenants followed the demonstra-
tons and it was decided to form a
Tenants League. A provisional COM
mittee was elected and up to date
the committee received about 100 ap-
plications for membership.
The provisional committee of the
Brownsville Tenants League put for
ward a militant program: to fight
evictions of unemployed, to fight for
lower rents, for free food and cloth
ing for children of the unemployed,
to support the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill and organization
of tenants through house and block
committees.
The Tenants League is only two
weeks old, but is facing responsible
tasks already.
Every day workers about to be
evicted come to the Tenants League
for help.
The other day a committee of the
League was sent to organize the house
where an eviction was about to take
place. The landlord was so scared
that he signed a contract whereby
he withdraws the summons against
the worker from the court and al
lows him part payments as soon as
he finds work.
The Communist Party must give
its utmost support to this organiza-
ton. The provisional committee is
arranging for a concert and dance
on Dec. 6 at los Thatford Ave. AL
workers are asked to attend and help
the Tenants League.

Prepare to Give Chang
Kai-Shek's Army a
"HOt Welcome"

SHANGHAI.-During the last few
months the Communist movement in
South China has extended rapidly
despite a number of local SetbackS.
The town of Kiang, in the province
of Kiangsi, has been in the hands of
the revolutionaries now for over a
month. The inSurrectionaries have
built entertainments around the town,
set up barbed wire and wire charged
with high voltage. In a memoran-
dun submitted to the government by
bourgeois fugitives from the province,
it appears that 60 districts of the
province are in the hands of the
revolutionaries. The government
troops prefer not to engage with
the revolutionaries.
Fighting is proceeding in the prov
ince of Human. The revolutionaries
are again advancing toward Pinsiang
and Luyang, The railway line from
Changsha to Hankow is threatened
by the revolutionaries.
The revolutionary troops still have
the upper hand in the province of
Fukien and a new Red Army C17th
Army Corps has just been formed
and equipped. The towns in the
west of the province are in the hands
of the revolutionaries.
In the Yangtze Valley the revolu-
tionarieS are preparing to give the
punitive expeditions of the Marking
army hot welcome. They welcome
the sending of these troops as the
easiest way for the Red Army to OBJ
tain the necessary equipment.
The province of Kwangtung is be-
ing shaken by peasant revolts. The
authorities are continually demand
ing new troops to deal with the pea
SAINTS.
On the island of Hainan a revolt
has broken out again. The authori-
ties complain that they have not
enough troops to suppress it. In
Bonan and Anhwei peasant revolts
are proceeding. According to a re-
port from the province Of Szechwan
the Communist organizations there
are extending rapidly. The western
half Of the province of Kwangsi is
now in the hands of the revolution
aries.

today.
A truck driver was excitedly skak-
ing man about 80 years of age and
asking him if he was hurt. mo, I'm
not hurt, though I wish I was killed"
II am starving. Have been unem-
ployed for IL months. Thought
maybe you could give me a cup OF
coffee and a doughnut seeing that
you are still working. I knew you
wouldn't stop otherwise and I am
desperately hungry"
Another Hold Up"
The driver pulled out some change
and handed it to him. The unem-
ployed worker, beaming all over,
grabbed the money greedily and
rushed through the crowd without
the customary thank you. The truck
driver looked after him, scratched
his head, cranked his machine and
remarked: This is the second hold
up if can call it so, today. AM
other middle-aged man on East 14th
st. called and waved until I stopped,
crying that you are employed and
should help. My family is dying of
starvation Had to dig out a few
cents. I don't know what this coun-
try is coming to, guess there will
be a revolution or something soon,
so many are starving and desperate.
We are being worked and speeded
to death" He drove off muttering.
Fight For Relief!
In the land of prosperity able
bodied men are begging, families
starving. The bosses are putting the
burden of the crisis on the workers
shoulders, but it is setting them to
think They are beginning to realize
more and more that something will
happen to this country. But another
lesson must be brought home, that
this something" will happen sooner
and workers will get better conditions
only through unified ranks of work
ers of all races and nationalities as
well as the American workers. Only
through organizations which co-or-
dinate the struggles the workers will
be led to successful fight for better
conditions. Such organizations are
the Trade Union Unity League, with
its affiliated unions and unemployed
councils, and the workers political
vanguard, the Communist Party.

THIRD ONLY OF DEC.
QUOTA is OBTAINED

The gain of 5000 daily circulation is the
fastest gain yet recorded by the Daily Worker.
Nevertheless 1t represents only onc-third of
the quota which was to be obtained by De-
ceniber and is too slow an increase in circu-
lation when the opportunities offered the Party
for the spread of the Daily Worker are con-
sidered.

Although ultimately paid-n-advance sub

for money we cannot expect funds for circula-

present financial crisis of the paper. For this
reason it is necessary for all comrades not only
to bend every effort to boost Daily Worker cir
culation but also to obtain donations to ensure
