In spite of all efforts of the DO
lice, thousands of workers marched
down Broadway. Among them were
groups of young workers who sang
revolutionary songs all the way.
Workers from the demonstrations
and huge throngs from downtown
New York gathered around the
City Hall Square, which by p. m
looked like military encampment,
patrolmen every ten feet around the

their demands upon city authorities.
The crowd before the rotunda, be!
ing too enormous, police waited un-
til the parade commenced, before
they proceeded to smash it. With
fiendish brutality, police, mounted
and on foot, attacked the marchers
with blackjacks, reared their horses
first into the parade and then into
crowds lined up along the streets.
Scores of workers were seriously in
jured by blows from clubs and at
least one crushed by horses hoofs
may die.
The preceding parade was held in
defiance of the authorities. Pat De-
vine, district organizer of the Com
fnunist Party in Pittsburgh, was
lifted on the shoulders of the work
ers upon a stone wall on the side of
the Penn railroad rotunda. He spoke
for twenty minutes and was repeat
eddy cheered as he flayed Mellon
rule and urged militancy on the part
of the jobless in making demands
for relief.
Devine was followed by John Kas-
par, Pittsburgh T. U. U. L. secre-
tary. Following prearranged plan
with police contingents, thugs first
attacked the front line marchers who
fought back in self defense. The
entire police force was modified
against the demonstration by the
Mellon administration.
Police were armed with night
sticks, machine guns, tear gas
bombs and were reinforced by scores
of private dicks Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Firemen stationed at City
County building had attached hose
to hydrants with the order to turn
the water on full force If the dem-
onstrators attempted to enter the
building with their demands.

And PATERSON
(By Special Wire)

PATERSON, N. J. - The Inter-
national Demonstration Against I'm
employment under the leadership of
the Communist Party and the Trade
Union Unity League, was one of the
greatest expressions of working
class solidarity that Paterson has
ever witnessed.
| Fifty per cent of the working pop
ulation of Paterson participated.
| Fifteen thousand came out to dem
onstrate against unemployment and
for the demands of the Communist
Party and the 7. U. U. l..
The police were completely lost
at the great turnout, and could not
decide how to act. The whole po-
lice force and every agent of the
capitalist class was at hand at the
City Hall, to our demonstration. The
chief of police had ordered them to
leave their sticks and use blackjacks
instead.
The splendid spirit that the work
ers showed at this demonstration
surpasses the expectations of the
most optimistic comrades and active
workers. The Communist Party and
the I. U. U. l.. were fully modified
and prepared for every emergency to
meet resistance, and police brutality
and attempts of the bosses forces
to disrupt the meeting. The speak
ers, one after another, developed be-
fore the workers of Paterson the
program. and tasks of the Commu-
mist Party, the T. U. U. L., the
Communist International and the
Red international of Labor Unions.
The whole mass paid greatest at
tention, listening to every word ut
tered by our speakers. Before the
demonstration was concluded dele
cation of T. U. U. L. members were
admitted to the mayors office only
at the pressure of the masses on the
outside.
The whole program of the Party
was developed and the demands pre-
sented. Upon this the mayor had
this to say: 81 congratulate the po-
lice of the city in the way they con-
Quoted themselves. Unemployment
is a problem that | do not know how
to solve" The delegates answered:

CHESTER, Pa. - Because he ask
ed the proprietor of a restaurant
here for work that he might earn
something to eat, one of the many
thousands of unemployed of Chester
was threatened with arrest, and in
the vilest of language was ordered
into the street. And it was only last
week that the Chester Times, the
mouthpiece of the bosses here, bra
zenly stated that there was no I'M
employment here, and that all the
workers here were well paid, had
fine homes, good clothes, plenty to
eat, and were contented with their
lot.

Chester Jobless Won't Be Intimidated

The workers of Chester know this
to be false, and are organizing for
the purpose Of demanding better
conditions. We cannot see children
forced to stay away from school be-
cause of lack of sufficient clothing.
We are not going to stand idly by
and allow them to starve while the
bosses fatten on the very life blood
of the parents of these working class
children. We are going to obtain
better conditions in spite of the
bosses efforts to intimidate US, and
terrorize us into submission to their
damnable system of enslaving us.
