when they saw the size and temper
of the mass demonstration and kept
their hands off, while the demonstra-

15 minutes, with speakers address
ing the throng of workers.
Bill Murdoch of the T.U.UL.,
Alexander, of the LID, Comrades
Cannot and Solway spoke and re-
,ceived tremendous support from the
demonstrators. The masses voted
solidly to elect committee to go
inside the City Hall, which was
guarded with a hundred police, to
present demands, which included:
$15 week unemployment relief for
each worker, with SIS additional for
each dependent; no evictions for
nom payment of rent by unemployed;
full wages for work on public con-
structien and so on.
( The police at the platform tried
to prevent the committee from leav-
ing it to enter the City Hall, but it
left anyhow and entered the City
Hall, where the Commissioner of
Public Safety and police officials
met them, telling them the mayor
was mot in," and that they should
s'cone back Monday"
The committee returned to the
platform and reported the evasion
of the city officials on the question
of unemployment relief, whereupon
the ass mbly adopted another reso-

Arrest of Agents Part

4 DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 21.-The
auto barons in this city have become
alarmed to such an extent of the
growth of The Daily Worker in De-
troit that wholesale arrests have
been continuing for the past two
weeks against all workers selling
the "Daily" on the streets and be-
fore the shop gates. Two more
have just been arrested and their
licenses revoked and then released,
The authorities state that the Ii
cense of every one selling The Daily
Worker or another. paper that is
mot a daily printed in Detroit" will
be revoked.
Preparing for March 6.
There is no doubt that the bosses
are making this a part of their at
tack against the preparations fer
unemployment demonstration on
March 6. The Daily Worker has
made tremendous progress and the
sales have been increased to $500
daily. The workers before the fac
tory gates and unemployment lines
await every day for copy, All
this week the newsboys have re-
turned with their bundles sold out

Attack auto Workers News"
This will, no doubt, be followed
by an attack against the "Auto
Workers News" the militantly
monthly paper of the Auto Workers
Union, on the grounds that it is not
daily, The union has the support
of thousands of auto workers who
buy the paper each month at the
factory gates.
Will Organize and Fight.
The Communist Party is mobiliz-
ing the workers against these at
tacks and organizing them for strug.
gle. Already the mass pressure OF
the workers has compelled the boss
es to release 10 of our comrades
who were held under the criminal
syndicalist laws in Pontiac. The
mass demonstration ON March 6 will
be another answer of the working
class against these attacks.

u. S. LEADING
IN PRODUCTION
OF GRAPEFRUIT

In grapefruit production the
United States leads the world by
such wide margin that we may
almost consider the grapefruit an
American fruit. Statistics quoted
by the Bureau of Agricultural Econ
omics. United States Department of
Agricultural, show that the United
States Gncluding Porto Rico) pro-
duces about 96 per cent of the world
supply. The Porto Rican crop re-
presents about 6 per cent of the
world supply, with the United
States, principally Florida, growing
most of the rest of the crop. The
Isle of Pines, Cuban territory, is
the most important single competit-
or, but it produces only about per
cent of the world crop. Jamaica
grows some grapefruit and
south Africa is getting into the bus
mess on small scale. Florida now
produces about six-sevenths of the
United States crop, California about
one-twelfth, Texas per cent, and
Arizona l per cent. The indications
are that production will increase
greatly in the near future, because
only about 43 per cent of the trees
planted have come to bearing age.
A considerable increase is expected
from Texas, where there are many
more young trees than there are
trees of bearing age,
