Ex- SERvICEMEN
DEMAND WORK
Fa Ike Emplo YIN en- t
Joint Stalls Them

CHICAGO by MaiD.-On Aug
ust LIST, 1880, 16 years after the
outbreak of the last world war,
scores of world war veterans
crowded the offices of the Veterans
Employment Bureau, at $50 S.
Wells St., and demanded work
from "their country" which they
were asked to defend on the battle
fields of France and which they dis
covered today has nothing to offer
them except starvation now that
they are without jobs.
Neither jobs nor unemployment
relief was Forthcoming for the men
in line. Although many of them
were wounded and battle-scarrei,
none were sufficiently crippled to
entitle them to the present govern
ment compensation. 7. W. Creigh-
ton, superintendent of the veterans
division of the Department of Labor
announced that instead of jobs there
were more than 1000 applications
for work already on file. He tried
to cover up the failure of the gov
eminent to provide for social insur-
ance for these men by issuing an,
other hypocritical appeal to employ
ers that they hire veterans in pref
erance to workers who did not serve
time in the American expeditionary
forces.
But the employers in Chicago not
only are laying-off rather than hir-
ing at the present time, but defir-
itely discriminate against ex-ser-
vicemen when they do employ. The
war veterans do not fall in that
category of cheapest labor" that is
so much in demand at the present
time for the wage-cutting drives of
the bosses. In fact, many big COM
panies infamous as employers of the
lowest paid yout' and child labor,
such as the National BISCUIT Com
pany, have openly refused to hire
veterans of the last world war.

1000 GATHER AT

Cheer the Magnificent
Defense Speeches

5000 At CHICAGO
AUG. | PROTEST
Many Negro Toilers in
Anti War Meet

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Over 5000
workers demonstrated this August
1Gt at Washington Square. In spite
of intimidation by the police depart
ment and continuous threats by the
police commissioner that he would
under no circumstances allow the
demonstration anywhere in the city;
and in spite of the breaking up of
numerous open air and factory gate
meetings prior to August LIST, the
continuous energetic preparations Of
the Party compelled, finally, the po-
lice commissioner to change his mind
at the last minute.
This years August LIST demon
stration in Chicago was held with
a background of war shows arranged
by the bosses, big publicity given to
the Citizens Military Training
Camps and National Guard, all in
order to whip up jingoistic war
frenzy.
1t is especially necessary to note
that this years August LIST demon
stration, more than at any other
demonstration, Negro workers at
tended in large numbers.
Allegro worker, Squire, an ex-
serviceman, was one of the speakers
at the demonstration. Both white
and Negro workers enthusiastically
cheered the speakers when they
spoke of the need of unity of the
Negro and white workers. White
workers in particular, cheered the
slogan of the speakers that it is up
to the white workers to demonstrate
to their Negro fellow workers that
they will really take up the fight
for the Negro workers and fight
against lynchings and segregation.
Against the propaganda of the
bosses that there will be race riots
in Chicago, workers at the demon
stration took up the slogan of the
speakers that there will be no race
riots but united class war of the
white and Negro workers against
the boss class.
Negro workers who remember the
lyuchings right after the war
against the returning Negro soldiers
enthusiastically cheered the speak
ers against war and were particu-
larly enthusiastic. in shouting their
approval of the slogan in defense of
the Soviet Union.
In face of 100000 unemployed
workers in Chicago, growing wage
cuts, workers listened carefully to
the speakers analysis of the econ
omic situation and the preparations
of the bosses for war as the solution
fol the deepening of the crisis.
The reading of the Unemployment
ELL printed in the Daily Worker
was endorsed enthusiastically by The
workers.
Announcement of Labor Day dem
onstration in struggle against un.
employment and the social fascists
who will stage Z meeting at the
Stadium to fool the workers was
also well received.
The international character of the
demonstration and the internationa
struggle against war with the Com.
munist International as the leader
of the working class, was the ruling
note of the demonstration. Many
workers filled out application card,

Stock Crash.
The second stock crash soon
showed us the role of our crooked
union officials and we became aware
of the serious effects of the mass
lay-offs which had taken place al
the Western Electric, the Majestic
Radio, etc. These lay-offs intro.
duced to US traction workers the
speed-up and lay-off that give the
lie to the Mahon and insult bunch
The surface lines discontinued 25C
runs, cut down materially on their
shop force, while the elevated sys-
tenn discharged so per cent of their
shop force and discontinued many
runs and cut off many cars from
trains which were not taken off.
This created an over list of many
men who have no work. The Doug
las Park branch has over % out of
100, the Kenwood %, and so on
down the line.
Recently the insult franchise was
put over on the workers of Chicago,
but there is no relief for US work
ers. AS soon as the franchise was
put over more cars were cut off the
elevated trains, making less work
for the extra men. The surface line
on Madison St. now operates one
car train, instead of two-car train,
which displaces more and more
men.
Mahon a Faker.
In urging US to vote for the In
sull franchise our union chief, Ma
hon, said: "The many provisions of
the franchise will become more
plain to you from time to time as
it is applied" For once Mahon has
told the truth. We are now told
the Lake st. surface line will soon
be discontinued, along with some
other lines, which will throw many
more of US traction workers in the
army of the unemployed. Mahon
failed to tell US, but we are wise to
the fact, that soon the elevated
trains will not require one man to
a car, but two men will operate
6 or Scar train. We traction work
ers of Chicago are learning that
the crisis can only be overcome by
exposing the role of our betraying
union officials, organizing under
the leadership of the Trade Union
Unity League and supporting the
revolutionary Communist Party.

Chicago, III.
Daily Worker:


Daily Worker:
There has been a rapid laying
off of workers, which has taken
place during the last year. The
Deering plant has increased their
production so per cent. The fake
company union has not made a
fight against the wage cut and
speed-up. Formerly piece workers
were guaranteed the regular rate
paid those who work by the hour.
Such is not the case now. Workers
are transferred to other depart
ments where they are given work
at a lower rate than was paid to
other workers in the department.
They no longer receive guarantee,
but get only what they earn on
the piece work basis.
Hurry-Up Bosses Call.
The number of bosses has been
increased to run about, ordering the
workers to hurry up. Those who
are not physically able to maintain
the pace set by the stronger and
more experienced workers, are laid
off, and must find their place in the
great Hoover army of unemploy-
ment.
We workers at Deering, are not
blind to the speed-up, and wage
cuts which are taking place daily.
Furthermore, we realize that the
only one that will make fight for
US, is the union lead by the
Trade Union Unity League. May
we soon be led by this workers
union, in fight against speed-up
and wage-euts.

(From our reply.)

Our present style is invariably to
use Negro" when referring to the
race as a whole or when used in an
adjectival sense; "negro," when re-
ferring to individual members OF the
race. This is in strict accordance
with our usage in respect to all
races.
For instance: Caucasian folklore;
Negro spirituals; Indian burial rites.
But: The negro and the white man
exchanged blows, then fell into a
clinch. Another redskin bit the dust.
Sirs:
The style that has been adopted by
an overwhelming majority of editors
and publishers of whom we have in
CURED in this country, is to capital
ize N whenever the word Negro is
used, whether it designates the race
OF an individual. We recommend
that usage, fnasmuch as the small n
in Negro does offend colored people.
