All the workers were invited to
the meetings of the American Ne
gro Labor Congress meeting that
was taking place two blocks away
that night. After the workers left,
four constables appeared and threw
the furniture out again. The next
day, that is, on the 18th again, the
Unemployed Council got on the job
and once more they took the fur
niture back ito the house. That
night two uniformed police Off
GERS came, with few detectives,
having sawed-off shotguns and one
having a hand machinegun. At
the point of the guns they forced
the workers to carry the furniture
out into the street. This was done
during the night time. The Unem-
ployed Council is planning big
mass meeting at this place.
At two more evictions, Lilly
Tower on 1044 Farnsworth and
another place at 1855 st. Joseph,
the Unemployed Councils have been
carrying the furniture back and
holding protest meetings. The
Councils, on the basis of this ac-
tivity, are growing very rapidly.
The Unemployed Council of East
Ferry Ave. is holding a meeting
every Monday and Thursday after
noon at 2 p. m. in the Workers
Home, 1343 E. Ferry Ave. Ad-
mission is free and everybody is
welcome.

Movement in
France Grows Despite
Efforts of the Takers

PARIS I.P.S.).-The strengthen
ing of the strike movement in
France, which was noticeable at
the beginning of the week, is be-
ing maintained. There are hardly
any instances of a return to work
to record. On the contrary, nu-
merous workers have joined the
ranks of the strikers.
In Lille, where the workers have
been handed over to the employers
bound hand and foot by the re-
formists, the discomfort is particu-
larly great. In this district the
struggle is being continued in the
factories, as a result of which the
united front of the workers is be-
ing strengthened.
The persecution of the striking
workers is increasing, side by side
with the maneuvers and intrigues
of the employers, the authorities
and the reformists.
The central strike leadership has
been prosecuted for having posted
up placards "inciting to breaches
of public order" The strikers are
now being prosecuted in groups on
account of alleged violence.
Yesterday further collisions oc.
Cured between striking workers on
the one hand and the police, strike
breakers and the Garde Mobile on
the other. The collisions were
caused by an effort of the Garde
Mobile to drive off the pickets.
In connection with the Congress
in October, which is to prepare g
commensurate on the part of the
workers, the revolutionary trade
unions are carrying on a broad agi.
tation and propaganda. In general
the strike situation may be said tt
have improved considerably to the
benefit of the striking workers.

italism is presented with fundda-
mental contradiction which is rock
ing it to its foundations.
A review of Hobson's book, writ
ten for the New York Times
(Sept. Ply by Harold Calender of
London makes very many inter
esting admissions. at is the
theme of Mr.. Hobson's esay-
which could hardly be made more
timely by events-that pro-
nounced tendency to overproduc-
ton is a permanent feature of the
economic system generally, more
marked in the advanced industrial
countries" says the reviewer.
He goes on to point out that
$50 sound did Americas prosper
ity seem and so great was its opt
imism that even the Socialists and
Communists (the renegade Love-
stoneites), whose prophets have
always held that capitalism must
be destroyed by its own inherent
disequilibrium, were about con-
WINGED that in America the rule
did not hold good. American Com
munists Lovestone) informed
Moscow two years ago that Amer
lean prosperity was distressingly
real and showed no signs of Ian
gushing. Stain thought other
wise, and Stain happened to be
right"
While Hobson admits that the
facts of capitalism "does not sup
port a favorable answer to this
question" of it's ability to override
its everworsening crisis he has
great hopes for the rotten, decay
ing system. The 100000 unem-
ployed in the United States, and
the 25,00O,0O0 jobless throughout
the world think differently.
Thus from a capitalist source
again we see that the struggle for
unemployment insurance must be
speeded up, and that it is a ques-
ton which confronts all workers,
employed and unemployed.
Concluding his review Of Hob
sons book, Mr.. Calender says:
"This analysis by a veteran econ
omist of the principal malady of
our (capitalist) system-read, per-
haps, in connection with Stains
speech to the recent Communist
Party Congress (of the Soviet
Union)--is highly enlightening as
to the most important things that
are happening today"

Now it was afternoon, and time
for the show to begin. Everyone,
parents, children, neighbors, young
and old, were on hand to see the
marionette show. The courtyard
was crowded with smiling people,
busy drinking their Russian tea
and eating the cookies which the
Pioneers and children served them.
Behind stage, all was ready. The
Pioneers, the previous spring, had
made and learned to operate their

Socialists SPY
For Cops On
Hungry Labor

BUDAPEST, Hungary UP.S).-
In their struggle against the Com
munist movement in Hungary the
social democratic leaders do not
hesitate to turn informer in order
to hound Communist workers into
the hands of the police, where tor
ture and perhaps death await them.
1t has happened on many occasions
already that Communist workers
have been arrested by the olice as
the result Of denunciations made by
the social democratic leaders.
The infamous social democratic
leader, Karl Peyer, who was thor
oughly drubbed by the workers dur
ing the demonstrations on Sept. |,
is now relieving his feelings and
revenging himself by denouncing
alleged Communists to the police.
He publishes Information" in the
press according to which the Com
munists hold secret meetings in two
places in the Remetegasse and in
lstvan st. in Budapest. According
to Peyer, "the leaders of the insur-
rectionary movement on Sept.
were constant guests here"
The police eagerly took up Pey-
er's information and raids were
made on the two addresses given
by him. Five workers were ar
rested, but were afterwards released
as not shred of evidence was to
be raked up against them. 1t tran
spired that at the addresses given
by Peyer a nationalist sharpshoot-
ers' organization held it's meetings.

markets and colonies in the next
war. The bosses are preparing for
war, and their lackies admit it.
The meaning of Britten's words
should sink deep into the minds of
every worker.
War Instead Food
Only the working class by its
militant and revolutionary action
can stop these war preparations
and the actual war being planed by
the bosses. Millions of workers
are hungry and starving and the
bosses give them war. Unemploy-
ment is driving thousands of work
ers to suicide and insanity and the
bosses have nothing for them but
war. his is what capitalism has to
ofer the working class; starvation
and blood baths! This is the sys-
tenn for which the capitalist par
ties, the republicans, democrats and
socialists stand; and they ask the
workers to vote for it in the au1
tumn elections! The alternative
before the working class is clear
cut. Only the Communist Party
and its fighting program, only the
example of the Soviet Union can
help the working masses of the
United States.
The Communist Party demands
that all war funds be turned over
to the unemployed. It calls on all
workers, employed and unemploy-
ed, to demand the passage of the
Unemployment Insurance Bill.
