WORKERS! STRIKE AND DEMONSTRATE ON MARCH 6!
d "a D is Lie S
AGAIN About
Unemployment

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Liar
Davis, secretary of labor, is again
at his favorite sport of belittling the
unemployment situation. He was
caught in a deliberate lie last month
when he declared that unemploy-
ment was improving in January.
Figures issued by his own depart
ment blasted his fakery.
Now he says there are only s.
100000 unemployed, out of 46,000,-
600 wage earners.' Department of
Labor figures show that since last
September more than 10 per cent Of
the workers lost their jobs.
Using Davis's own figures this
would mean more than 100000
were unemployed.
But Davis figures are clearly
faxed. The American Federation of
Labor, which works very closely with
Davis, admitted that % per cent of
its members were out of work.
The unskilled workers, outside of
the A. F.of L. are harder hit. Using
GreeE's figures for the entire work.
ing class, the result is well over T.
100000 jobless workers in the United
States.

A statement was issued yesterday
by the National Committee Of the
Trade Union Unity League, predict
ing that tomorrow's worldwide
demonstration on unemployment
would be the greatest ever seen.
'tThe jobless will fight, and the
employed workers will fight Shout
der to shoulder with them," says the
statement, and furthermore, the
fight does not end with the demon
stration. The T.U.U.L. is calling
on March a national conference on
unemployment, leading up to a great
national unemployment convention.
The statement says:
''The 100000 totally unemployed

ing to passively starve. They will
fight, and fight militantly. And
the employed workers will fight
shoulder to shoulder with them. The
recent great demonstrations in vari-
Gus cities show that. The capital
lists and their lackey labor leaders
have tried to minimize and hide the
mass starvation now going on among
the unemployed. With policemen's
clubs, empty Hooverian construction
plans, fake dynamiting plots and
'Deadwood Dick stories of Russian
gold, ETC., they have tried to demor-
alize the unemployed. But under
the guidance of the Communist
Party and the Trade Union Unity
League the great masses of unem-
ployed have found organization,

BuRKHARD Wants

Deliberately Smashing
1t to Save His Job

Burkhard and his henchmen in the
executive committee of the Anal
gamated Food Workers showed
plainly at the board meeting Mon
day evening that splits mean moth
ing to them if avoiding split
threatens their jobs. A sharp dis
cussion took place over sending a
delegation to the Hotel, Restaurant
and Cafeteria Workers Local and
other locals dropped on the thin ex-
cuse of mot paying per capita" to
work out ways and means to re-
establish these locals in the union.
1t was pointed out that these sus-
pended unions are the best fight
ers in the Amalgamated, and have
strikes on at the present time.
Burkhard rallied his forces
against this proposal with sarcasm
and abuse of the locals. Although
the whole working class knows of
the militant strikes going on, Burk-
hard said, "There is no strike, ex-
cept in the Daily Worker" and man
aged to vote down the motion.

10000 STUDENTS
FIGHT IN MANILA
Police Are Beaten in
Attack on Strike

MANILA. Mar. 4.-Ten thou
sand high school students battled
the entire police reserves of Manila
tonight when demonstration of
the students wase attacked by the
police. Two policemen were beaten,
as were several students, and two
school officials who butted in were
threatened with being lynched.
The affair grew out of the recent
strike of students that forced the
dismissal of an American teacher,
Mabel Brummitt, who used the regu-
lar imperialist insults freely at the
students, calling them vile and
abusive names.
Though she was dismissed the
strike grew and continued because
four of the student leaders were
suspended from school. The demon
stration tonight was to force their
reinstatement.

been ordered to report on March 5
by the bosses government which in
tends to attack the workers.
The response to the appeal was
excellent, the National Guardsmen
of the idea to join with
the other workers not in uniform
who are starving by the tens of
thousands, to fraternize with them
and not shoot them down because
they demand food and shelter. The
Guardsmen showed in deeds that
they resented being used as tools
against other workers, by going to
the aid of the Communist girls and
protecting them from the officers.

CABINET MEETING

Hoover Says Trouble Is
All Because of Tariff

Finally giving up the fiction that
"this is an era of prosperity" Pres
ident Hoover called a cabinet meet
ing yesterday to consider the prob
lem of unemployment, or rather,
what could be done to make the
jobless workers shut up about their
troubles and starve quietly.
The net result of the cabinet
meeting was weightv announce
ment by Secretary of Labor Davis,
a White House spokesman, who
pounded on the desks as he talked,
and declared that the whole trouble
was because congress was so lazy
about passing the tariff bill. Davis
also said that the proposal of Sem
ator Brookhart to let the Red Gross
and the Army hand out $50,000000
(about 81 a family to the jobless
wouldn't do at all. "That would be
charity" said Davis. Better for
them to starve!
Also Attorney General Mitchell,
anxious to deny that the American
workers can possibly understand
what is wrong and turn Bolshevik
did give Matty Vol dirty stab in
the back. "The government knows
nothing about any $1,250,000 from
Moscow to American Reds" he said.
Which, considering that Vol says
he got his figures from the gov
ernment, looks rather bad

of Indians killed. The Indians lost
one prominent fighter, but only a few
others"
The Indians first rode up in solid
line three-quarters OF a mile long, then,
before they got within gunshot, broke
and circled the corral at close range.
They fought mostly with arrows. but
few of them having guns. Colvin said
that this was a fact.
After they circled on horseback they
charged up close on foot and set the
grass on fire on all sides of the corral,
but there was no wind and the grass
Gin the river bottom) was too green
to burn well. After that it was all
sharpshooting on the part of the In
dams. The only opportunity the de-
tenders had to shoot at an Indian at
close range was during a very few
minutes, possibly three or four, and
then the Indians were IN the run,
either horseback or on foot. When you
hear it said that a man, as Burnett
relates, had a chance to take a dead
aim with 300 shots at the Indians, you
may know he is romancing.
THE commander of the post was
Col. Luther P. Bradley
Some criticism is offered of the action
taken by Bradley in refusing to allow
men TO go from the fort to the as
sistance of the beleaguered men down
in the bayfield,. Mr.. Leighton, who

the morning, refused to allow him to
go to Sternberg's aid. COlvin, that
night in the post, in a heated argu-
ment with Bradley, came near doing
him personal violence.
1t is recalled that at the Wagonbox
battle there were n white men fight
ing about 1,500 Indians. The engage
ment lasted for three hours. AT the
Hayfield fight, which took place the
day previous august l, 1870, there
were 10 white men fighting about the
same number of Indians for nine hours,
from 8 o'clock in the morning to 5
o'clock in the afternoon. The fight
took place within three miles of the
fort and was watched by many who
were then in or neal Fort c. l.. Smith.
Officers and enlisted men stationed at
the fort manifested feverish anxiety
to go to the assistance of the white
men. At the WagonboX fight, rein
forcementS were sent out from Fort
Kearney and the Indians were driven
off. At the Havfield fight a company
arrived from Fort C. l.. Smith about
an hour after the fight vas over.
Mr.. Camp stresses the point that the
historical significance to be kept in
mind is that the Indians fought main
~ with bows and arrows. The white
men fought with breech-loading rifles.
That is the reason they were able tC

enemy IN large numbers n hanging
on until the ammunition of the be-
sieged wa exhausted.
The Hayfield fight is a military cpl
sode in the early history of southern
Montana of which little is known. Due
TO the interchangeable labor of the late
Walter M. Camp, much light is thrown
upon this engagement that was fought
in sight of men then stationed at Fort
G. l.. Smith, but who were not per-
mitted TO go to the rescue of the 10
men who were attacked by about 1900
Indians.
Mr.. Camps description of this fight
was given to Dan II. Bowman of
KnoWlton, Mont, in a communication
dated at Lake Village, Ind, IN Aug.
8, 1923. Mr.. Camp says that the Hay
field fight was one of the greatest In
dian battles, and about such a fight
as the Wagonbox battle which hap
pened a day later. He had studied the
conflict a great deal. Making a visit
to the ground he interviewed one soldier
and two civilians who participated in
it, besides several Sioux, Cheyennes
and Arapahoes who were there.

that he knew a man named Burnett.
n of the participants, very well, and
also knew Colvin who commanded after
Lieutenant Sternberg was killed. There
are in his files long accounts Of the
fight from both Burnett and Colvin,
as we'll as from Hallaran, the soldier.
Joseph B. Leighton, of the firm of
Leighton 81 Jordan, who was in bust
ness for many years in Miles City,
was at Fort G. L. Smith at the time.
"Colvin's story of the fight" said Mr..
Camp in his letter to Mr.. Bowman,
lis the most thorough and accurate,
he having been an officer in the Civil
a and a bank president for many
years; in fact, l think he was presi-
dent Of a bank when he died, and he
was a fine old gentleman. A man
who has served in such positions usu-
ally acquires the habit of accuracy.

main, but he in several par
ticulars, especially as to the number

took the shorter route through the
Powder river country. The presence
of these newcomers enraged the Indi-
ans, who frequently attacked the
travellers.
Treaties Are Signed
Taking cognlzance OF the situation,
the government, III 1865, sent out a
special commission which succeeded in
ef1ecting treaties with nme of the Sioux
tribes. There was some encouragement
that the agreements would be kept.
One OF the commissioners stated that
these treaties were made and the In
dams, in spite OF the great suffering
from cold and want OF food endured
during the very severe winter of 1865
IS, and consequent temptation TO plum
der to, procure the absolute neceS-
Saries of life, faithfully kept the peace"
The conference thai resulted IN the
drawing up and signing of the treaties
was held at Fort Sully on Oct. 10, 1865.
There was no enthusiasm exhibited on
the part OF the sullen and stubborn
chiefs in attendance, however. They
manifested %unfriendly feelings. After
all, they argued the agreement was
only the recapitulation Of the treaty Of
1851, in which the Indians made the
promise hat they would allow the
building of roads and would not modest
the trails.
While the northern Sioux were not
bound by the treaties, this matter hav-
ing been left TO the later negotiations
hal may have been held in mind, the
government began the construction Of
a road to Fort Laramie, which led
through the most cherished hunting
grounds of the hostiles. Red Cloud,
than whom, perhaps, no other Indian
leader exerted a greater influence, pro-
tested. He said he would not permit
the building Of the road, and pro-
ceeded to carry out his intentions, aid
ed and abetted by many Of his people.
1t was in 1866, that General Pope
ordered Col. Henry B. Darlington to
take command Of the mountain dis
trict, department of the Platte, and
build and garrison forts for the purpose
Of protecting the Powder river road
that led into the northwest, and par
ticularly to the cold fields of western
Montana.
Darlington proceeded to carry out
his orders. Despite the fact that he
had but few men and was harrasSed
by the hostile Indians, he succeeded
YIN garrisoning Fort Reno, and estab-
1ished posts on the Powder, Big Horn,
and Yellowstone rivers. After he had
established Fort Philip Kearney in
July, 1866, he came up into Montana
territory and designated the spot upon
which Fort c. L. Smith should be built.

ued. Fort Kearney IA in a constant
state of siege. What was in store for
