"Work or Bread, or Jobless Will Seize Food

Mexico City papers, including the
Universal Grafico" gives account
of a demand made on March 6 by
the National Unemployed Confeder-
alton, for relief from hunger
work or bread" voiced through a
large delegation that visited the
newspaper demanding that it give
publicity to their demand.
Further, the delegation gave the
following warning, taken from the
Universal Grafico" in it's quotation
of what the delegation had said:
"There are many of the Confed-
Grafton, who, facing the horrible sit
uation of starvation, are disposed to
extreme measures, such as violence.
There are groups which are ready to
break into stores and warehouses of
food, driven by hunger. And if yet
they have not done so, it is because
we have, with great difficulty, dis
suaded them from such action. But
we fear that things are going be-

eanized a Council for Improving

secretary of the national organiza-

There are 1896 Negro workers
employed in the postal department.

White workers do not take this
work, and for this reason this field
of work is left entirely to the Ne

not do any inside office work; how
ever, since the war, particularly in
the northern cities, the number of
Negro office workers and letter-car-
riers is growing. There are also
many Negro workers in the South
among the railway postal employees,
and besides some of them hold the
jobs of the chief office employees.
The Negroes comprise the biggest
percentage among the unskilled
workers. The number of white work
ers in this branch is rather small.

The Universal Grafico" states
that the delegation declared that
three of its members had actually
died of starvation, falling dead in
the streets of Tacuba, near Mexico
City, for lack of nutrition after
days and days of hunting work
fruitlessly.
The delegation rejected the pro-
posal previously made by the chief
of the Traffic Department Of the
city, that the unemployed serve as
voluntary watchers of automobiles
which are parked on the streets and
live from tips that might be given
by the owners. By such "service"
that is no better than plain beg

ties take action.

"Not Work Enough"
After the orgy of head-cracking
with which the capitalist police met
the demands of the starving work
ers on March 6, Gov. Young of Cali
fornia (where some of the most
brutal attacks took place. came out
with a statement:
Unemployment? / think it's ex-
agerated. Anyway, we'll always have
it. The solution? Well, perhaps
there isn't any. California has not
enough work to go around for all
the people who come here"
The unemployed themselves and
the militant workers feel that mass
pressure for work or wages will
however, force the fat parasites whe
run the country to loosen up with a
little of their profits, and feel, too
that the workers are beginning to
realize that social system which
produces such misery will have to

workers with the exception of the
railway postal workers organiza-
tion), yet, in the South, we do not
meet Negroes to any large extent
among the memberships of the
trade unions. They often pay dues
to the sick benefit funds and other
mutual aid organizations, but at the
same time take no part whatever
in trade union life. The majority
of the Negro workers in the South
belongs to the Postal Alliance, which
is of trade union and in part also
of political character, composed
wholly of Negroes.
Only in the North do Negro work
ers actively participate in the work
of the trade unions, particularly in
Chicago and New York. Out of 1000
Negro postal workers in Chicago,
more than one-half are organized
in the trade unions, however, they
are very little interested in the
trade union movement. Some of
them do take active part in the life
of the trade unions, but the white
trade union bureaucra& do their
utmost not to permit them to &C.
cupy any responsible positions.
The Postal Workers of America
must wage an active struggle not
only against the postal employers,
but also against the trade union
bureaucrats who are collaborating
with them. 1t is essential to organ
lie Red Oppositions for a decisive
struggle against capitalist rational
ization, against the worsening and
for the improvement of labor and
living conditions, for wage increases,
against race antagonisms, which are
being kindled by the bourgeoisie and
its lackeys. The slogan of the Amer
lean postal, telegraph and telephone
workers should be: the organization
of Red Opposition on the basis of
the militant class struggle.

the conspiracy to keep them in jail

Brodsky explained that they
showed innumerable cases of assault
by the police on the workers in the

of the defense would take about
three days or longer, with 40 or 80
witnesses.
"We won't hear them," declared
the judges, roundly. What do you
want so many witnesses for? This
isn't an assault case"
Brodsky blandly quoted Unger's
statement that the case was "un-
usual" and that the charge was
really rioting.
"Mr. Unger," said the presiding
Judge, what date would be agree

able request of the dapper Unger
was in marked contrast to the saw
