ARREST four AT
FACTORY CATE
Cops Hit Toilers' Fight
For Social Insurance

PATERSON, N. J., Aug. 10
Four workers were arrested this
morning, at Weidmans' Silk Dyeing
plant. The charge is distributing
leaflets of the T.U.U.L., and the
National Textile Workers Union
calling upon the workers of Pat
erson to organize and to demonstrate
at City Hall, September l, for the
Workers Social Insurance Bill.
Over 300 workers had waited
from to s in the morning, hoping
they would be given job; only to
have the doors of the employment
office slammed in their faces.
The unemployment situation in
Paterson, is very grave. Over 80
per cent of the workers are without
jobs. Thousands are actually starv-
ing. The workers who are work
ing, are forced to work for wages
so low that they cannot afford the
barest necessities of life, and all
signs point to worsening of the
workers conditions, with the COM
ing of winter.
The bosses are aware of the
misery that stalks the streets of
this city and are doing everything
in their power to stop the "reds,"
as they call the representatives Of
the T.U.U.L. and the National Tex
tile Workers Union; from reaching
the workers with their message to
organize and to fight.
The work of organizing will go on
in spite of the police, in spite of the
stool pigeons, and the workers of
Paterson will demonstrate in thou
sands for the Workers Social Insur-
ance Bill, in front of the City Hail.

RAPE CHARGE AGAINST
IND. VICTIMS EXPLODED

MARION, Ind, Aug. 19.-No
well-informed person in this town
today believes the rape charge
against Thomas Ship, IS, and
Abraham Smith, 10, the two young
Negro workers who were lynched
here week ago.
According to persistent reports
Claude Deter, the white man who
was shot, and his girl companion
were not in the car on a country
road but at the edge of the jim
Grow Negro district. Deeter was
not attacked by the Negro youths,
but resented the stares of the Ne
go young workers, called them vile
names and drew his gun on them.
In the struggle which followed, the
three Negro youths wrested the sIn
from Deter who was shot accident
ally as the gun went off during the
struggle.

TAMMANY TAKERS TO
CLOSE FREE" JOB
AGENCY - NO WORK
Keep Open Only Two Hours Day in Order to
Pocket $4,000 Subsidy
Cops Keep Workers Moving; Over 10000 Get
Application Cards, But No Jobs

do any kind of work at the lowest
wages.
So huge have the lines of uncm
ployed become that they cannot even
be registered. Monday the police
kept breaking up the ranks. Some
workers had been in the line for
as high as ten hours. But they
were driven away by the cops. Those
who tried to register were beaten.
Sergeant Malloy leads the cops
who beat up the unemployed. With
the "agency" open for only two
hours a day, the cops keep driving
the men away from the doors so
that it won't look so bad for the
Tammany fake scheme.
Joseph Rosen, so years old, a
pants presser, who insisted on 60
ing into the agency after 10 a. M,
when the doors were closed, was
roughly handled by Mulrooney's
men and then arrested for having
the nerve to apply at a free" un-
employment agency for job.
In the two hours that the agency
is kept open the police will not al
low the unemployed to go in. They
pick out few. The clerks .oke
about the crowds. Then they slam
the doors shut and the police begin
their showing, poking and smuggling.
The applications are dumped into a
box and forgotten. 1t would take
ten years to supply jobs to the
workers who have already applied,
if they are filled at the present
rate.
Unemployed Disillusioned.
The unemployed who apply for
jobs at the "free agency" are be-
ginning to realize that the pros
poets are hopeless. Instead of Jobs
being handed out, the lines grow
longer every day. They learn from
the new recruits that the bosses are
laying workers off by the wholesale.
The immediate task of all work
ers, employed and unemployed, is
the creation of a tremendous mass
movement to force through the
Workers Social Insurance Bill, to
provide relief for all unemployed.

TRAINS WORKERS
FOR leadership
District 2 Starts School
For Organizers

The District Functionaries School
of the Communist Party, District 2,
now under way, is earnestly pre-
pairing itself for leadership in the
present and for the coming strug-
giles of the working class not only
in this district but all over the
country.
The school is comprised of active
Party members, of various occupa-
lions and races. There are metal
workers, food workers, seamen,
needle trades workers. Among the
students are Negroes, Chinese and
Hindus. Over 20 per cent of the
school are women workers. The
total number of students is 33.
Courses in the Program of the
Communist International, Party Or
ganization and Trade Unionism are
given. On Friday two general con-
ferences besides the group study
periods are held. Books by Marx,
Engels, Lenin and Stain, that are
to be read during the week are dis
cussed at. these conferences. On
Saturday mornings the school is
divided into groups which take up
the actual writing of shop papers.
The initiative of the members of
the school in reference to raising
finances to conduct itself has so far
enabled the school to go on. In
spite of the difficulty of finding
sufficient time for study the stu
dents have willingly exerted them
selves to collect funds at various
organizations.
Workers organizations and indi-
vidual workers who wish to have
trained organizers in the revolution
airy labor movement would consid-
erably aid the smooth progress of
the school if they would send dona-
lions to the District Functionaries
School at rs Union Square, N. Y. C.

Tammany's great scheme to
"solve" unemployment has COL
Iapsed. Between 10000 and $4,000
workers during the past few days
crowded the Municipal Free" I'm
employment Agency in New York,
but instead of jobs they were given
duplication cards" A few, who
had letters from politicians, got the
handful of jobs-mostly temporary
that were available. The others
were bounded by the police and
many were beaten. One was sent
to the hospital. Others were hurt,
but stood in line hoping for the jobs
that were not there.
VIII Close Up.
Realizing the farce, the Tammany
officials haze decided to close the
agency. Director Edward c. Ry-
bicki, a Tammany henchman, who
runs the Joint. announced that the
agency" would be kept open for
only two hours a day. But it will
not give out jobs then. The only
purpose the agency opens for the
two hours daily is to give Rybicki
and his fellow grafters an excuse
to eat up the $4,000 set aside for
the "agency." When the Tammany
tools pocket this sum, the agency
will undoubtedly close for good.
Proves Worsening Unemployment.
The only thing that has come out
of the "agency" is an indication of
the severity of the unemployment
situation. 1t has also demonstrated
to the workers that jobs do not ey-
list, but that they must Immediately
fight for the passage of the Work
ers' Social Insurance Bill.
That the unemployed are becorl-
ing desperate for work is shown by
he fact that nearly. all of them, in
filling out their applications, indi-
Gated that they would work at "any-
thing" A large number were
skilled workers. But their families
are starving. Most of them have
been out of work over six months
and they stated they were ready TO

WHITEWASH COPS.
FOR ADJUSTING.
Mulrooney Disregards
All Evidence

NEW YORK.-Exactly as the
Communist Party and the Interna.
tional Labor Defense declared they
would, the police department has
investigated" itself lin secretI
about the brutal ambush of workers
returning home from the August /
demonstration here, and declared
that the police did exactly right.
Commissioner Mulrooney issued a
statement to the press last night
which brazenly declared that there
is mo evidence" that the police used
unnecessary force" Instead he rep
resents the police as the ones at
tackled. He tries to make out that
part of the crowd attacked "Com-
munists in the crowd"
Testimony of capitalist newspaper
reporters who described the clubbing
given the crowd after it was forced
by a line of police down 18th St.
into a swarm of club-swinging po-
lice previously hidden in Irving
Plaza is simply CLOSED over. Re-
porters whom the police dubbed are
not mentioned. A reporter whose
camera was smashed by police black
jacks is showed aside by Mulrooney
with the remark, "He was only
free lance photographer"
The full story of the police at
tack was brought out in.the Labor
Jury investigation, where everyone
was given full opportunity to tell
about it, and the verdict of the La
Dor Jury was that it was a murder
Gus assault by the police on a por-
ton of the home going crowd DELHI
erately segregated and viciously
beaten up. Some 60 workers, in
Guiding young girls, were beaten up.
