This demonstration will also de-
mand the passage of the Workers
Social Insurance Bill.
In all parts of the country mass
demonstrations are being planned
for Unemployment Day" Septem-
Der list.
Sept. LIST in Chicago.
The unemployed and employed
workers of Chicago are preparing
to demonstrate under the leadership
of the Trade Union Unity League,
on Monday, Sept. LIST, at 3 o'clock
on Washington Square.
Tens of thousands of leaflets are
being distributed to the workers in
the shops, and to the unemployed
masses. Stickers, posters, are being
pasted up throughout Chicago, and
inside of factories.
Shop gate meetings held by the
Trade Union Unity League are
being held in front of the Western
Electric, International Harvester,
Hurley's, American Can Co., etc.
The police force of Chicago are out
in full force, trying to intimidate
the workers from listening to the
speakers, and in instances breaking
up and arresting the speakers. This
happened last week in front of the
Western Electric Co.
Open air meetings and meetings
of the unemployment councils are
being attacked and broken up by
the police. Saturday night, two
workers were badly slugged by fas-
cist gangsters, sent to a hospital
with broken heads and broken ribs.
The Unemployment Council located
at 900 So. Paulina was raided last
Tuesday night, and workers ar
rested there.
These open fascist attacks are
all aimed at dampening the enthus-
iasm, and interfering with the mass
mobilization for the Labor Day
Demonstration for the Workers So
cial Insurance Bill. While the fas-
cist-official controlled Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor is receiving wide
publicity from the capitalist press,
and workers are being urged to at
tend this fake demonstration
this is being done for the purpose
of preventing the unemployed work
ers from rallying to the call of the
T.U.U.L. and Unemployment Coun-
ellis.
Preparations for a mass mobiliza-
ton of employed and unemployed,
Negro and white workers, are pro-
ceeding rapidly. The Trade Union
Unity League is calling for organ
ization into the shop committees,
industrial leagues and unions as the
most effective and successful way
of preparing for Labor Day demon
stration.
In the Steel Center.
Preparations are being made for
the holding of unemployment dem
onstrations in Milwaukee, Gary, In
diana Harbor, Rockford, Indiana
polls, Belleville, Springfield, and So.
Chicago. i
A special demonstration is being
arranged for August Both, Satur-
day, for the South Side of Chicago.
This is the heart of the Negro ter
ritory. The colored workers are
having special literature issued to
them, dealing with the lynchings in
Marion, Ind; and the T.U.U.L. calls
for bitter and persistent fight
against lynchings, Jim Crow, and
segregation. The T.U.U.L. calls for
making Sept. list into demonstra-
ton against lynching, and for full
social-economic-political equality.
Thousands of Chicago workers
will rally in support of the Work
ers' Social Insurance Bill on Labor
Day, Monday, Sept. list, in Wash
ington Square, at 8 p. m.

less workers, who with hundreds of
others gather every morning at the
new state building in construction
on Capitol Ave. in the vain hopes of
landing jobs.
