ROGRAM OF THE NATIONAL UNEMPL OYMENT CONFERENCE

of unemployed. In all industrial CEN
ters there shall be Immediately set
up unemployed councils. The cam
paigns to organize these local coun-
ellis shall be initiated through
series of meetings of a general
character and in the respective in
dustries. They especially aim at the
recruitment of a definite dues pay
ing membership. Special attention
must be devoted to drawing in Ne
groes, women and young workers.
The unemployed councils shall meet
regularly and function aggressively
in defense of all the workers de-
mands.
b. National Unemployed Con-
vention. There shall be held ma
tional unemployed convention and
mass demonstration in Chicago on
July 4th and 9th. The convention
shall be made up of the masses
of unemployed workers affiliated
or sympathizing with the unem-
ployed councils. The unemployed
councils everywhere shall imme-
diately begin an active campaign
to draw into the Chicago conven-
ton the greatest possible number
Of unemployed workers. They
shall regularly credential all dele
gates to the convention. To this
unemployed convention all trade
unions shall be invited to send
mass credentialled delegates.
c. State unemployed demonstra-
tions. The unemployed councils in
the principal cities shall take the
initiative under the direction of the
National Unemployed Council, in
the organization of state wide I'M
employed demonstrations, marches
and mass workers delegations, to
the state capitols, etc, to make de-
mands upon the state governments
for unemployment relief. These
demonstrations must be utilized to
popularize and build the national
convention in Chicago.
4. Local demOnstratiOns-May l.
The local unemployed councils shall
concentrate all their strength fol
gigantic demonstrations on May l.
They shall link up the question OF
unemployment with the general
struggle of the workers on May l.
This must be made into an even
greater demonstration than that on
March 6. The slogan of "On to the
mass unemployment convention
must be a central slogan in all
strikes and demonstrations
e. Build the revolutionary unions
The strengthening of the TU.U.L
unions is fundamental to the effec-
tive carrying on of the struggle of
the unemployed. The local unem-
ployed councils and their industrial
sections, shall therefore put forth
Ine most intense activity to recruit
workers into the respective revolu-
tionary unions. The councils should
put forward the slogan of $4,000
members in the T.U.U.L. by June
30. In order to connect definitely
the unemployment movement with
the unions and to build up the lat
ter, it is necessary that the unem-
ployed councils bend every effort
towards sending unemployed work
ers as delegates to the coming mass
convention of the T.U.U.L. unions
in the mining, marine, metal, auto,
shoe, food and needle industries.
f. Election Campaign. The unem-
ployed councils must start work for
the coming congressional elections

had many weaknesses, such as a
failure to build more definite organ
ization among the unemployed,
failure to strengthen the T.U.U.L.
unions, etc. These weaknesses must
be corrected in the further develop
ment of the movement. To this end,
the following program of action
shall be put actively into effect:
a. Establishment of local councils
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-04-03

at once. The general struggle
against unemployment, with the de-
mand for social insurance and inn
mediate emergency relief, must be
made the central point in the cleo
ton activity. The republican and
democratic parties are the official
parties of the capitalist class, which
is responsible for unemployment
and whose program is the forcible
suppression of all struggles of the
working class, more intensive ra-
tionalization and the still further
lowering of the living standards of
the working class. The socialist
party is the third party of capital
ism. It's role is to confuse, divide
and betray the working class and to
lead it into the camp Of its class
enemies. The socialist party is a
defender of capitalism. In order to
utilize the election campaign in the
most effective manner and concern
trate the attention of the masses on
unemployment, its causes and the
necessity for struggle against it, the
unemployed councils will, in the
coming elections, support the cam
didates of the only political party
of the proletariat-the, Communist
Party of the United States.
e. r. I. L. U. Delegation. The
election Of the T.U.UL. delegates
to the Fifth Congress of the Red
international of Labor Unions must
be utilized as further inspiration
and means for bringing the unem-
ployed workers and the employed
workers into closer organization.
The unemployed workers should par
ticipate in all of the elections in the
respective industries for the selec-
ton of the RILU. delegation I'M
der the auspices of the respective
national industrial unions and ma
tional industrial leagues.
h. Workers Defense,
The unemployed councils, in
conjunction with the International
Labor Defense, shall carry on an
intense campaign for the release
of class war prisoners, especially
those arrested in the March 9Th
demonstrations. They shall also
give the most active support to
the formation of workers defense
corps, to defend the workers
against the violence of the capital
lists and their agents. ...5-,.
i. Against Imperialist War. De-
fend the Soviet Union. The capital
list nations are now rapidly prepar-
ing for war against each other, and
especially against the Soviet Union.
Above all, they want to smash the
first workers republic, which is the
inspiration and leader of the worlds
working class. Against this devel-
oping imperialist war, the masses
Of workers must be modified. They
must be made to understand the
tremendous significance of the build
ing of Socialism now going on in
the Soviet Union. We call upon
recognition of the Soviet Union by
the United States, and we call upon
/ the American working class to de-
fend at all costs, the one govern
ment of the workers, the Soviet
Union and we demand the recogni-
ton of the Soviet Union by the
! United States.

In the last two years Dixie has rolled
from Chicago to New York, thence to
Hollywood, and en- route she has ac-
quired three valuable misunderstanding,
dancing and acting. The last of these
she makes much use of in the Fox
Movietone picture THE Big Party"
1t was in May, 1928, that Dixie, just
out of high school. won a singing con-
test in Chicago. In october a Ziegfeld
scout saw her and placed her in the
road company of Good News" Dixie
became popular so quickly that at the
end of five weeks she was called to New
York for an interview with Florenz
ziegfeld. That impresario decided that
except for her red hair Dixie would
make an ideal varsity drag" girl for
the Broadway company of Good News. "
Dixie promptly removed that obstacle
by becoming a blond overnight.
Dixie was one of so applicants who
took microphone tests for a speciality
song and dance in "Fox Movietone
Follies of 1929" Winning out, in spite
of her lack of screen experience. she
has since her film debut played Sec
ondary roles in Seven Faces" "Har-
mony at Home" and Lets Go Places. "
Now she branches forth as a straight
lead in THE Big Party"

Saved by a Safety Film.

VIVID memories of scenes from a mo-
ton picture Aim depicting the res
cue of miners entombed in a mine dis
aster flashed in the harassed mind of a
miner actually imprisoned under similar
conditions in Utah coal mine recently,
and eliminated in the application of
the methods depicted in the film with
the result that five lives were saved.
The film, when a Mans a Miner"
was made possible through gift to the
United States Bureau of Mines Of a
man who wished to commemorate the
memory of his father. the late Francis
s. Peabody, q former oficial of the
bureau. 1t was the hope Of the donor
of the film. that, through its practical
perturbation of nfe-saving methods in
times of stress under ground, the lives
of mine workers might be saved. This
hope was realized when j. F. Pritchett,
trapped in the depths of a mine at
Standardville, Utah. following an ex-
plosion, recalled the scenes from the

film which the crew of rescue car had
exhibited before a gathering of his fell
low workmen, and proceeded as best he
could to translate the lessons Of the
film into effective action.
Prichett was one of a group Of i've
men trapped following an explosion IN
a mine at Standardville about S:45 pm.
on March s. A number Of scenes in the
film which Pritchett had viewed on the
occasion of visit of mine rescue car
No. 9 to his community depict methods
by which entombed miners may barri-
cade themselves within the mine, thus
conserving their supply of fresh air
until the ever-alert rescue crews may
penetrate the mine passages. Display
ing remarkable GOODNESS, Pritchett
promptly organized his little group, re-
treated to a different section Of the
mine and rapidly erected a barricade,
which fully served the purpose and the
next morning the five men were taken
out alive.
