the meeting the workers responded
to the speakers urge to "Vote Com

workers was taken and when in
answer to the question "Fellow
workers shall this meeting con-

the cop was told, Majority rules,

move for the second time to grab
the speaker, several brawny lumber
men closed in and the cop, mutter-
ing, "Well, I'll get some help" made
a hasty getaway. When he returned
with reinforcements to make the
arrest, the rest of the cops also
decided that they'd better not risk
battle with he angry unemployed
workers, and contented themselves
with pleading with the speaker not
to "block the sidewalk" Following
this meeting, the workers held an

Now it goes without saying that

they are not at all sorry about it.
In the first place, what possible

FRISCO ORGANIZES
FOR FOREIGN BORN
% Are Held Here for
Deportation

SAN FRANCISCo.-The Provi-
sional Committee for the Protection
of Foreign-born in San Francisco
has issued a call for a conference
to organize the fight against de-
portations and prosecutions of the
militant foreign-born workers for
Wednesday, Oct. 20, at the Mission
District Workers Center, 1892 24th
Street.
Twenty-three workers are being
held in this city for deportation.
The majority of them are from fas-
cist countries and are faced with
death if they are deported. Eleven
of these workers are still on Angel
Island waiting to be bailed.
This attack on the foreign-born
is part of a nation wide attack on
the working-class as whole. This
was clearly seen at the sessions of
the Fish Committee in this city
where the fish himself promised the
Commander of the American Legion
that the Committee would take
steps for a special department of
the federal government take care
of the "reds."
All workers organizations in San
Francisco are urged to elect dele
gates to this conference.

Unemployed Council
In Buffalo Fights
Growing Evicti0ns

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 19.-At
the last meeting of the Unemployed
Council of Buffalo of Oct. Is, the
main point on the agenda was the
case of our fellow worker, P. AMI
schenko, who is unemployed and has
a wife and child. His landlord gave
this worker notice to appear be-
fore the judge for non-payment OF
his rent.
The Unemployed Council of Buff
falo took steps Immediately. Leaf
lets were issued calling protest
meeting to be held in front of the
courthouse, on the day that he is
supposed to appear at court. The
members of the council began dis
tributing at once.
Some of the members reported
that in front of the relief and en-
ployment agency there are more
than 10000 workers every day
waiting to get some kind of relief
or job. Out of this about 1000 are
Legionnaires who stands from 5 in
the morning to 5 in the evening, on
a coffee and, looking for jobs. The
workers of Buffalo realize that
winter is coming and they have to
freeze like rats. but the answer
that they will give to the bosses is
different from what these bosses of
Buffalo and the U. S. think. The
workers will not starve, not freeze,
but they will fight.

Springfield Workers
Fight Atlanta Dea tn
Threat; Hear Burlack

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 10
On October 14th, the workers of
Springfield turned out in hundreds
to the mass protest meeting which
was held at the Victory Hall, and
where Ann Burlak one of the six
Atlanta defendants who are facing
the electric chair for daring to or
ganize Negro and white workers,
was the main speaker.
Many workers who had never
been to the labor meetings in
Springfield before now turned out
to hear this young labor organizer
who is now touring the eastern part
of the United States. The meeting
was very enthusiastic one, and
when an appeal for funds was made
the workers responded literally al

because he invited it, but that he
said nothing at all about the unem-
ployed and simply began calling
Names"
We invite all workers to read
Nessin's speech, as far as ne was
allowed to get, which began with
stating that:-"In the name of
100000 unemployed workers, we de-
mand that the 100000 that is as
signed for police, be assigned to an
emergency relief fund for the I'M
employed"
The complete text of Nessin's
speech was given on page 8 of the
Daily Worker, Oct. II. 1t was taken
down by an experienced court re-
porter in shorthand. What the cap
italist press had was the longhand
notes of their reporters plus de-
sire to lie about the affair. They
don't agree even with each other.
The "Times" for example, relating
what Nessin said that was so ''in-
Whom do you represent" was:
~ am here for the Unemployed
Council, and l would rather be here
representing the unemployed work
ers than representing the grafters
as you do?"
To which Walker replied in a
shriek:-"You dirty red! In about
two minutes I'll jump down there
and smash you in the facet" A
frenzied and typical gangster threat
which his detectives carried out, but
which the "Times" tried to make a
bit more dignified by changing
into:
"That little remark prompts me
to come down and thrash the life
out of you. Put him out!"
The Telegram" giving another
version also dignifying the peanut
Drained Walker whom it quotes as
saying:-"You almost cause me to
take this gavel and go down there
and thrash you. You dirty little
whelp!"
It is clear that the capitalist
papers, which pretend to "attack"
Tammany grafters, rushed to their
defense the moment a worker really

Pol ICE MURDER
NEGRO WORKER
Workers Roused-AN
LC Leads Protest

p KANSAS CITY, Oct. 19,-For the
third time in ten days, Kansas City,
Mo-, police have deliberately COM
mitted murder against the Negro
masses. The latest outrage was
committed Saturday when two cops
invaded the home of Will Evans,
who was lying sick in bed, and
without any warning starting firing
at him through porch window.
Evans dashed for the street, but
was pursued by the cops and shot
Down. After Evans fell to the pave
ment fatally wounded, the cops
went right up to him and put sew
eral more bullets through his body,
killing him outright. AS a flimsy
excuse for their act, they stated
that Evans had beeen reported to
them as being dangerously insane.
Evans wife and neighbors de-
nounced this crude lie.
Aroused by the murderous action
of the cops, crowd of Negro work
ers gathered in spontaneous protest
on the corner where Evans had
been shot. A riot call was then hur-
riedly sent in ad the crowd was
attacked and dispersed before it
could get organized.
Indignation against the killing of
Evans, whose case was the third of
its kind in the last ten days is
running high in the workingclass
districts in Kansas City.

1t makes lot of difference whose
OK is gored. So goes the old say
ing. In the case of accusations
against Tammany graft, it makes a
lot of difference whether the OK is
gored or just patted reprovingly on
the starboard quarter.
For months now, the capitalist
papers have been full of Tammany's
corruption of the courts, long
winded editorials saying that such
things aren't nice. The republicans
have generally limited that the DEM
ocrats were dishonest, the demo-
Gratis have retorted that the same
applies to the republicans. And the
socialists" have issued endless
statements that graft in which they
are not given a share is undermin-
ing the confidence of the masses in
the holiness and sanctity Of capital
ist class government.
Everybody-that is, all the "re-
spectacle" politicians have been
gently abusing one another with
stuffed clubs. Even without this
stage play, every child that is able
to walk knows that Tammany ad-
ministration of New York City is
rotten with graft and that Mayor
Walker is king of the boodlers.

SO. NEGROES HAIL
LYNCHING FIGHT
Support Defense of At
lanta Six

ATLANTA, Oct. 19.-The Party
unit, with the cooperation of the
International Labor Defense branch
Of Atlanta has been engaged in the
distribution of thousands of leaflets,
on the Atlanta case where six COM
rades are due for trial soon. The
leaflets sharply expose the efforts
of the bosses to railroad to the cleo
trio chair the two Negro comrades
and the rest of them, for the crime
of organizing the fearfully ex-
plotted mill workers of this city into
militant labor organizations.
This last edition of the Southern
Worker carried picture and story
of the lynching of Will Clark, at
Gainesville, Ga, who was lynched
by a BOSSES mob two weeks ago,
and of Willie Kirkland, a 20-year
old Negro youth who was lynched
by Townsville, Ga. bosses
A Negro preacher, after having
read the story of the two lynchings
in the Southern Worker, came to
the LID. secretary asking him for
more copies, and when asked how
he liked the paper said. "Well if
you want to know what l think of
the paper ! will tell you, so much
do l think of it ! am going to read
it to our members in the church this
Sunday morning, and will be glad
for one of your speakers to come
and tell our members about your
organization which you say is
fighting against the lynching Of
Negro workers, our membership 1
am sure will be with you"

SOUTH FASCISTS IN INTERNAL
FIGHT EXPOSE ALL. BACKING
AND ANTI-LABOR PROGRAM
Vicious Character of Two Groups in Fight for
Control Brught Out in Trial

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 16 (By
telegram. - A bitter internal
struggle has been going on in the
fascist movement in this city almost
from the day of its formation which
took place after the Communist
Party began to carry on educational
and organization work among the
workers here.
In this internal fight, two groups
of racketeers within the organiza-
ton, one led by Wood and the other
by Gwinner claim the right for the
control of the organization.
On the witness stand in the
court room where the hearings are
now being held it has been brought
out that the program of both
groups is the same, that is of
Eight the Communist Party and
Organized Labor and for White
Supremacy" Already many Negro
workers have lost their jobs as a
result of the fascist methods used.
By promising jobs to white work
ers these faker manage to get poor
iobless workers fooled into joining
them. On the stand Gwinner ad-
mitted that the ALL. is one of
their affiliated organization and
supports the black shirts.
When the hearings are over no
doubt one of the two groups will be
given the charter which will legal
ize their program and will mean
that workers desiring to join a labor
organization will be in danger of
facing the electric chair as are six
organizers now facing insurrection
charge in Atlanta. The jobs and
even lives of Negro workers will be
in more danger than ever. The
working class must be warned
against this menace and modified
to carry on struggle against fas-
cism and for the release of the six
Atlanta defendants.

Public Health Progress.
(NeW York Times.)

In recent Weekly Bulletin the Health Depart ment begins telling it's story. It is familiar to workers in the public health field, but perhaps not to laymen They need to be reminded of the great progress that has been made during the last century in the organized disease. During the first half of the nineteenth century New York, like other large cities the world over, visited again and again by epidemics which took a devas- tating toll of human lives. In 1882, for example, cholera killed 3513 men and in New York. Then the population was only 225OO0 An epidemic of similar vruence today would snuff out 1O9 200 lives Smallpox and yellow fever frequent visitors Not only has preventive medicine made enormous strides, but the knowledge gained in the laboratory-in such laboratories the Health De- partment's own-has been marshaled with stead fly increasing effectiveness. Deaths from all tho acute infectious diseases put together except pneu- monia average nowadays only about 1,2oo per annum.
 The Health Department, at present organ ized dates from 1866. Typhoid then supposed to be caused by sewer gas malaria by the exhala- tionS of swamps. Although a specific preventive was early discovered for of the contagious diseases-vaccination against smallpox-it was some time before regulations were vigorously enforced, and there was a mild epidemic of smallpox as late as 1891. Since then the curve of that particular pestilence looks as flat a dead caterpillar Most of the other curves point steadily down. Lately the department has turned its attention to dph- theria with gratifying results the latest of which are reported in this Bulletin. Comparing the third quarter of 1880 with the period in 1929 cases were SIS against 1052 deaths 30 as against 55.
