In order to distract attention
fro mthis scandal into which the
names of high city officials, racke-
teers, bootleggers, gunner and
other similar gentry were dragged
in, a fake drive against crime was
started. 1t began with the "shake
up" Of the police department. Po-
lice captains and detectives were
transferred around and the investi-
cation of the police department
dropped at the same time.
Next came the order to clear the
city of hobos" and Migrants"
Meetings of unemployed were raid
ed, interfered with or disrupted. In
explaining the drive against the
unemployed Captain Martin E. Null
len, in charge of the Desplaines St.
police station, stated: "Chicago has
enough of its own unemployed with
out having the problem further
complicated by these droves of no.
hos and buns. l have told my men
to do all they can to get rid of
them. | have especially detailed
two of my detectives, Sergeants
Frank Victor and Joseph O'Malley,
to make a cleanup around the en-
ployment and labor agencies. Their
next cleanup will be directed at the
lodging houses and cheap hotels"
Any one that has no home, who is
unemployed, is a "vagrant," and
they will force him to leave town
or will jail him. This is the way
the capitalist city administration is
Solving" the unemployment prob
lem.
At the same time it is the prep
aration for the unemployed conven-
ton.
Meantime, while the police are
busy staging the fake drive against
crime-hold-ups, robberies and MUIR
ders continue as usual. Suicides of
unemployed also continue. Secret
conferences between Col. Robert
Isham Randolph, chairman of the
secret "six" of the Association of
Commerce, are also taking place as
before.
The motto of Chicago today is
Business as usual"
But the National Convention of
the Unemployed will tear the mask
from this business.

OUTLAW indian
NATL CONGRESS
British Bargain With
Indian Bourgeoisie

SIMLA, July 1.-The National
Working Committee of the All-India
National Congress at Allahabad has
been outlawed, it's headquarters
closed, and its president, Pandit
Motilal Nehru, and its secretary,
Sayed Mahmud, arrested by the
Macdonald Labor" Imperialist Gov
eminent in India.
This incident, which superficial,
liberal, opportunist observers would
consider as an evidence of the revo-
lutionary position of the Indian Ma.
tional Congress, is actually a tacti-
cal move on the part of Macdonald
to force better bargain from the
Indian bourgeoisie. 1t is a we'll
known fact that, though still paying
lip-service to the fight for independ-
encc, the Indian national bourgeoisie
have repeatedly stated, either eX-
pressly or implicitly, that they would
be satisfied with dominion status.
Therefore, the real issue between
Macdonald and the Indian bourg-
eoisie is the question of dominion
status, and not that of independence.
However, the policy of British i'm
perialism in India is essentially en-
bodied in the Simon Report and the
Simon Report does not even mention
dominion status. 1t falls upon the
social fascist Macdonald to carry
out this policy of British imperial
ism and Macdonald is now, by brib-
cry and intimidation, forcing the
Indian bourgeoisie to give more con-
cession to British imperialism, while
at the same time, sparing no VIC
lence and cruelty to suppress the
revolt of the masses.
The closing of the national head
quarters of the Indian National
Congress and the arrest of its pres
ent leaders represents merely one
of MacDonald's methods of intim.
idating the Indian bourgeoisie and
lOIClIIS d DSCCtl pdI gam 4UL DllStSu
imperialism. 1t is interesting to
note that the outlawing of the Ma
tional Working Committee does not
necessarily mean the outlawing Of
the Congress Committees in the
provinces. The door is still left
open for the Congress leaders to
make further concessions.
This move will, perhaps, strength
en- the British position in the secret
negotiations which have been going
on for some time between Gandhi
and Co. and the British imperialists,
but it will have no significant eff
feet on the mass movement in India
which are more and more marching
forward in their struggles under the
independent leadership of the Com
munist Party of India and the Revo
lutionary trade unions.

Grafers' Driue Against the

Chicago this week, the police scan

minated, as predicted in the Daily

capitalist press, "a drive against

well as the friend of the notorious
gangster, Al Capone, was suddenly

Aid. Tonan stated: 81 never saw
an investigation which bore fr<it,
and the taxpayers always paid

frank: "The whole thig can be de-
scribed in one word-whitewash."
This from the lips of the capitalist
politicians themselves.
The investigation into the murder
of Lingle revealed so far that he
was gambling heavily on the stock
exchange, in dog races, etc. He
borrowed money from city politi-
clans, policemen, gangsters and
others. He took a check for $500
from Police Captain Daniel A. Gill
bert, he got $1,000 from Major Car
los Ames, head of the civil service
commission, and others. When a
gangster wanted protection for his
gambling joint, he called up the
Tribune office to speak to Lingle
about it. Lingle had a gunman,
Anthony Kissane, as a bodyguard
and handyman. Since when do
newspaper reporters need body
guards! In the wholesale arrests
of unemployed workers in the fake
drive against crime Kissane was ac-

there is no objection to the dem

using its link with the police and

though held in a park.
The purpose of the demonstra-
ton, the convention and the nation
wide organization which will come
out of it is to forward the struggle,
jointly of employed with unem-
ployed workers, to force the bosses
and their government to give real,
full wage support to the unem-
ployed, to fight for the 7-hour day,
5-day week, against eviction of job
less workers from their homes for
non-payment of rent, to struggle
against wage-cuts and speed-ups.
While the government means to
do nothing, as Hoover proves by
trotting out his moldy old lie about
CONSTRUCTION work" in a radio
speech to the conference of govern
ors at Salt Lake City, Governor
Roosevelt of New York proposes
that there should be unemployment
insurance, but that the workers
must pay for it. He admits that
under this SYSTEM" by which he
means the capitalist system, there
is no cure for unemployment"
The Chicago Convention, and the
continuous struggle afterward, by
organizing mass demonstrations of
employed and unemployed, is the
only way to compel the lying presi-
dent and four-flushing governors to
establish unemployment insurance
at full wages and at the cost of the
bosses and their government. What
ever the gangsters and police do in
Chicago, or any other city, the I'm
employed movement will go for
ward.
