Police Brutality for

the crowds to break them up. The
thousands of unemployed showed
stubborn determination not to leave.
For over an hour and a half they
kept the plaza, parading continually
as a living protest, yielding before
police charges, reforming and flow
ing back, many rising to speak here
and there, others rising after those
were pulled down. The demonstra-
ton surged back and forth on the
streets around City Hall, in front
of the Woolworth building, north of
the Municipal building onto Broad
way and back to the City Hall.
Placards were held up demanding
work or wages, calling on the work
ers to fight in order not to starve,
and voicing the demands of the I'M
employed councils of the Trade
Union Unity League which had
called this demonstration.
In some cases workers defended
themselves resolutely against the
pushing and showing of the police,
in some cases police ran amuck
swinging and clubbing with their
blackjacks. In Beekman st. Hos
pital badly beaten and thought to
have fractured skulls are Sam Lieb-
owitz, Isadore Klinghofer, and one
other.
Among the arrested are King
hofer, Randolph Mcneil, Sadie Van
Veen, and Rebecca Forman. Anna
Rollins was arrested earlier in the
day for distributing leaflets an
nouncing the demonstration, and her
case comes up Saturday. Thou
sands of leaflets were distributed
particularly in the Bowery slave
markets.
Among those slugged and beaten
up was the secretary of the unem-
ployed councils, Sadie Van Veen.
She spoke half a dozen times, being
dragged down each time, and was
finally taken to court on a 300
pound policeman's charge that she
attacked him." In court at the
Tombs with her was Rebecca For
man, under a similar charge. Van
Veen in her testimony detailed the
whole 7. U. U. L. program for the
unemployed, and outlined their de-
mands. Both got a suspended SEN
tence. A seaman, c. S. Johnson,
"blackballed" out of the Standard
Oil of New Jersey, fought to defend
speakers in three different skirm-
ishes. He was badly beaten about
the face and head and has a cracked
rib, but is as determined to fight
on as ever.
A screen has been placed around
the bed of Klinghofer to prevent his
talking to the other patients, and
telling them of the need for organ
ization of the unemployed.
The committee to see the mayor
was MADE up OF Representatives OF
I.all the unemployed councils, and

Labor Activities Illegal.
WATERBURY, Conn, Feb. 81
The local police underwent special
drill Tuesday to suppress the dem
onstration they looked for yesterday.
Definite instructions were given to
get the militant women workers
and Communists who have built up
2 strong Unemployed Council and
branch of the Trade Union Unity
League to fight the attacks of the
brass barons.
For the last few weeks, all work
ing class activities have been treated
as Illegal, leaflets, Daily Workers
and Labor Unities are confiscated
and distributors arrested daily; bail
is increased and capitalist judges
give ten day Jail sentences instead
of fines.
Active Communists are followed
day and night. But in spite of DIFF
ficulties the work goes forward. The
Daily Worker is a great help in
uniting the workers, organizing
them and preparing them for World
Fighting Day against Unemploy-
ment. No wonder that the local
capitalist papers slam the DAILY"
But the workers like the 'Daily"
lust because the bosses don't like it.
The national office of the Inter
national Labor Defense, responding
to the call of the International Red
Air for the support Of its adherents
throughout the world to the Inter
national Fighting Day against I'm
employment, March 6, yesterday
issued manifesto asking all men,
bers of the LID. to Support the
revolutionary struggle of the unem-
ployed with all strength
unemployment is in the hands
of the bourgeoisie whip" says the
Ira, against revolutionary work
ers. The first to be dismissed are
always the revolutionary workers.
Among these the LID. workers are
also counted. In the ranks of the
LID, which is based on the prin-
JIG OF international solidarity Of
all workers, are also unemployed
and their families, part-time workers
as we'll as full-time workers who
tomorrow may be also unemployed.
Therefore the LID. workers must
give an example of international
solidarity in the revolutionary strug-
gle of the masses. Support with all
your power The revolutionary strug-
gle of the unemployed, never forget
Ting that the international unem-
ployed movement is part of the
