the city, and flouted the de-
inands of the unemployed,
igave not one promise of relief
for the unemployed.
Norman Thomas, socialist" par
ty leader, his neck stiff from old
wearing of clerical collar, assured
the mayor from the floor that
neither you nor we can change the
system. In Russia, too, they have
unemployment But we socialists
and trade unionists Of the regular
unions want to cooperate with you,
within the law, to speed up the
building program.
eve are talking today about I'M
mediate relief measures" said
Thomas, "A proper program for
dealing with unemployment lies be-
yond the power of the City of New
York to put into effect all by it
SELF
The mayor smiled sweetly upon
Thomas and engaged with the $50
cialist" preacher in jokes which
raised roars of laughter on the sub
ject of 100000 hungry and jobless
workers in New York.
The five members of the workers
committee before the bar in the
board of estimates room to present
the demands of the unemployed, had
been in Jail for a week. They had,
a couple of hours before, stood in
Special Sessions Court, in the Grim
inal cases building, and heard three
hard-boiled Tammany judges, No
Ian, Direnzo, and Walling, reject
attorney Brodsky's demand for 80
days in which to prepare the case,
and the demand for 10 days. The
five members of the committee of
the unemployed, as protest
against this high-handed railroad
ing, refused to plead at this sitting
of the court. The judges, clearly
indicating by their attitude that
they had decided on a conviction al
ready, set the trial for March "a.
The date is important, for Walkers
open hearing on unemployment, to
which he sarcastically invited them
later, comes on March %, by which
time the five representatives of the
jobless will probably be safely rail
roaded to jail.
After leaving Special Sessions,
the five went directly to the city
hall, where in Room Is the board of
estimates and appraisal was meet
ing.
No sooner were they comfort
ably seated, and had notified the
clerk of their presence and desire to
partake, than couple of dicks from
the radical squad" bounced upon
them.
Get out of here, they said,
hustling them from their seats. Y
'You too" said another detective,
laying hands on the Daily Worker
reporter who was sitting near.
Outside, Minor, speaking for the
committee, demanded, care we under
arrest?"
NO. said the detective, regret
fully.
Then we are going right back"
into what has been stated as pub
lie hearing" said Foster, and start
ed. A swarm of plain clothes men
swirled around, but finally, word
came from some inner sanctum that
it wouldn't work, and the commit
tee could sit in.
Mayor Walker, not present in
the beginning, eventually appeared.
The board took ten minute
recess at 12:40 to notify him
that the plan of intimidating the,
committee of the unemployed had

Socialists
IN German
(Wweless By Inpreco9r)

March 1.-THE Reichstag had
yesterday before it the socalled ere
publican Defense Law" for second
reading. The socialist" Severing,
admitted that the bill is anti-C Com
munist, arguing that the existence
of 100000 unemployed made re-
pressive possibilities necessary.
The Communist Muenzenberg, de-
nounced the bill, pointing out that
under its predecessor, seven thou
sand workers had been convicted and
sentenced to a total Of six thousand
years imprisonment.
The Communists proposed that the
bill takes over that paragraph from
the old law which prohibits the ex-
Kaiser from returning to Germany.
The fascists proposed to alter the
name of the bill from the bill to de-
fend "the republic" to ''the nation"
and to include provisions severely
