still piling up fake schemes to make

forget the fraud Of signing us up for
work on county roads, yelling that
unemployment is solved" and then
never calling us to work.
What we must do is to organize an
Unemployed Council of Stockton and
force relief from the bosses.
Meanwhile we must chop wood t

Instead of publishing facts about
the inside condition of the Bank
the United States and the Chelsea
Bank e. Trust Co., the Tammany
politicians are directing their fire
against the workers who are organ
izing themselves to demand the re-
turn of their deposits in full.
AS for "rumors," an article in the
New York Evening Post of last Sat-
urday, by Frank j. Williams, ex-
poses the fact that Wall Street has
"the best unofficial espionage sys-
TENS in the world with r,imor as its
most useful arm"
The main fact is that It was not
all "rumors" that closed the Chelsea
Bank & Trust Co. On the very day
that the Bank Of the United States
shut the New York Times attempted
the old trick of laying the blame on
"rumors." Subsequent facts showed
that the bank had been robbed from
the inside by wholesale looting.
However, the "rumor factory" of
Wall Street is based on the fact that
the big financiers have inside infor-
nation. The Evening Post sarticle
points out, for instance, that Long
before the war broke out in 1914 pro-
fessional Wall Street knew 1t would
come and sold stocks and bought
grain" The article goes on to say:
Hasn't 1t been true that for several
days prior to each (bank) failure of
recent months heavy selling has been
seen In stocks. Wall Street knew by
the grapevine route that bad news
was to be announced. Some Of the
rumors were able even to tell the
exact hour and day announcements
would be made"
The so-called "rumors" erlanated
from Wall Street, where the big stock
gamblers had learned the inside in
formation Of the banks condition

able to unload their stsock.

HUNGER SPECTER
STARES IN FACE OF
FRISCO SEAMEN
Many Willing to Join
TUUL Union
tBy a Worker Correspondent


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. - One sees
countless unemployed seamen and
longshoremen traverSing the STREETS
of the waterfront in the port of San
Francisco. Breadlines are formed in
different sections of the town, even
on the waterfront corner. Embarca-
dero and Clay ST., near Seamen's
Church Institute. One sees more in
tensified suffering among the broad
masses of the unemployed than ever
before.
Jobless Arrested.
The police are continually arrest
ing seamen on the oostumary charge
of yagrancy. Fighting and begging
is the only diversion from this mi
sery. Cheap bootleg serves to push
the specter of starvation in the back
ground. Everywhere one sees stag
gering seamen with battered pals
looking for possible costuners in or
der to get the price of gas.
Two thirds of the Iongshoremen
are jobless, or on part time. Those
that work are the favored members
of the blue hook union, the I. L. A.
Bootleggers in many instances con-
trol the Job. This whole system Of
job giving stinks of corruption and
craft. A big percentage of I. L. A.
MEMBERS are working only one day
N the week at a terrific speed-up
fhe bosses claim this port is the
most efficient in loading facilities
No wonder so many accidents occur.
I talked to many seamen and long
shoremen and they are ready for
organization in the Marine Workers
Industrial Union, but what keeps
them out is the lack of money to
join.
The near future has great POSSIBLE
tiles for organizing militant revolu-
tionary trade unions. At present we
are concentrating on coastwise ships
and steam Schooners. New members
are lining up steadily. The only
thing that prevents the rapid organ
ization is the part of the blue coat
ed gunner of the bosses and the
immigration tools of Hoover.
The most important shortcoming
confronting the M. w. I. U. today
is the lack of cadres trained for Or
ganization at work and functioning
port committees Hundreds upon
hundreds express they're willing to
join the M. w. I. U. as soon as they
get work.

revolutionary unions, unemployed
and unorganized workers to send rep

a broad campaign can be instituted
against the injunction menace and
for the release of II strikers in jail
for participation in mass demon
stration against the injunction. These
strikers were held without bail by

(By a Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK.-As reported in the

district council of the building trade
of New York has put a tax on the

lected? What do you mean who?
One who knows the inside works of
the local said, there are so many in
the arrears and with the money col
lected, we will make them members
in good standing.
Ninety per cent of the members,
work or no work, keep their books
paid up to the minute. Only those
who come to the meetings and make
recommendations and vote Eyes"
when told. These are the ones whose
dues will be made good.
No member, no matter how deep
his trouble may be, will apply for
help to the local, because he knows
the local is not the place for it.
1t will not be a rough figure, if
said, that 80 per cent of the building
trades walks the streets, and those
who work. are making from S. to So
day, and not $13 to $40 as the scale
requires.
Nevertheless the business agents
salary is 500 per week and 20 bucks
