5000 BATTLE FOR
JOBS At AGENCY
Social Fascists and A
F. of L. Aid Bosses

NEW YORK.-Over 5000 starv-
ing and desperate unemployed
workers rushed the Municipal
Free" Employment Agency in New
York, Monday, in a vain attempt to
get jobs which do not exist. The
Tammany g a f t e rs announced
wonders in the solution of the I'M
employment situation by their
free" employment agency which
gives jobs only to the Tammany
grating clerks. Monday morning,
hungry, sick unemployed workers
waited for hours for the place to
open. Some had waited at the door
all night. When the doors opened
there was a rush for jobs. Jacob
Snappy, Sc years old, Negro
worker, was severely hurt in the
fight that followed for the jobs that
were not there. In four days about
100 workers were placed, most of
them in fake jobs at greatly re-
duced wages. There are a thou
sand workers who lose their jobs
to every one that is placed in the
Tammany agency.
Jobless Ranks Swelling.
New York is not alone in this
respect. The jobless ranks all over
the country now amount to at least
100000. All of the voorhees, are

ever before. In Toledo, the grand

Young Toilexs
OrganlzlngF0y
Lynch Fight

Young Negro and white workers
are getting together throughout the
country, under the auspices of the
American Negro Labor Congress,
for the creation of militant youth
organization to fight the bosses
lynch terror and oppression of Ne
gro workers. The organization is
to be known as the Young Liber-
ators.
Last Friday evening saw the birth
of the new youth organization in
New York district with over 100
young worker delegates present at
the Youth Conference called by the
American Negro Labor Congress, at
308 Lenox Ave.
AT this conference it was pointed
out that the bosses lynching mobs
do not spare the Negro youth, that
OF the twenty workers lynched so
far this year, at least three were
youths, and that the oppression of
Negroes as national minority and
as workers affects particularly the
Negro youth. The Young Liberat-
ors will struggle against lynching,
jim crowism, segregation and all
forms of oppression. A resolution
passed at Fridays meeting declares,
in part:
"In struggle against discrimina-
ton in shops and generally for bet
ter conditions for the working
youth. The Young Liberators will
constantly fight for the organiza-
ton of fighting trade unions. The
Young Liberators will fight against
Jim Crow leaders of the American
Federation of Labor and will urge
the Negro youth to join the only
militant union organization fighting
for Negro workers and particularly
yougn workers, the Trade Union
Unity League"
The conference also endorsed the
platform of the Communist Party
IN the election campaign and called
upon the young workers to support
the Communist ticket and the
struggle against imperialist war,
unemployment, etc.
