BIG STRUGGLE
Lessons in Fight for
Work or Wages

1t was only after the entire police
force and the fire department were
called into action that the police
succeeded in dispensing the fighting
workers.
After a half hour of fighting six
workers and two policemen were
taken to the hospital. Scores re-
ceived minor bruises and injuries.
Several policemen were without
coats which were torn off by the
women workers during the fight.
! The huge protest meeting on the
Public Square Immediately after
, the fight showed that the workers
could not be terrorized into submits
sion.
The Socialist" Party: 1t took the
socialist party only two days after
the demonstration to participate.
And how?
Although there is no visible signs
of the socialist party in Cleveland
it's puppets-the YPSL banks the
true tune of its mother The YPSL
held it's "study circle" few days
after the demonstration to discuss
the unemployment situation. It's Of
ficials were instructed to write and
pass resolution condemning the
Communists and the workers for
fighting the police and breaking the
law.
When the question was asked at
the meeting Of the YPSL who would
volunteer to write such a resolution
nobody volunteered. Finally the
chairman appointed young girl to
write the resolution condemning the
unemployed demonstration. This
caused considerable arguments which
resulted in the girls resignation
from the YPSL.
AS she left the hall she said: 81
will not condemn the workers for
fighting for their rights. | refuse
to write the resolution and will re-
sign from your organization"
The resolution was referred to a
special committee. This shows the
role of the socialists and their off
spring-the YPSL-the yellow ban
ners of the betrayers of the work
ing class.
The A. F. of L.: The unemployed
workers gather daily at tn Public
Square to hear the speakers of the
Communist Party and TUUL. The
A. F. of L. officials attempted to
speak to the workers on Feb. 10.
What happened?
The workers drove the A. F. of
L. speaker from the rostrom. The
workers hurled questions at the
| speaker. what about the sell
outs, the present strike in Ohio of
the miners and the A. F. of l.. in
structing workers to scab on the
National Miners Union and the
strikers. What about the war and
war preparations. What about the
organization of the unorganized and
the unemployed"
These workers would not permit
the A. F. of L. to speak-to mis-
lead. The A. F. of L. is what the
workers termed 1.-THE Federation
of Labor.
The Police-Note the preparations
of the police department to smash
the unemployment demonstrations
on March 6. (1) Order for an addition
to the radio squad. Newly equipped
emergency cars with radio and
tear gas bombs and tear guns, riot
guns, sawed up shotguns and large
supply of ammunition. (2) A change
in the telephone system of the police
department. Secret wires to differ
ent parts of the city, etc. (3'. APP
pearance of the mounted police on
the streets. These police were usu-
ally ordered out after warm weather.
Never at this early date. This all
shows the preparations of the police
department to break up the demon
SCrdClOnS on Marcn o.
Armed Forces-Definite instruc-
ton to riot duty have been given to
the National Guard and orders to
prepare for an emergency call were
given at the last practice drill.
Charities and Holy ROllers-These
have also been called into action to
attempt to pacify and satisfy the
hungry workers. These have ap-
peared on the Public Square to Of
fer coffee and dry bread to the
unemployed. This fake relief lasted
only one day. The second day the
workers were asked to pray and be-
lieve that help would come from
heaven. The psalm singers and pub
licity seekers have also been driven
from the Public Square rostrom by
the workers.
The Communist Party and Young
Communist League-The Communist
Party calls all workers, unemployed
and employed, to demonstrate
against the police brutality at the
unemployment demonstration-for a
gigantic demonstration on March 6.
Protest meetings have been held in
all parts of the city, and mobiliza-
ton meetings are being held for
the mass demonstration on March 6.

Party is near the top in it's recruit
