The daily worker., 1930-03-05


ROCHESTER, N. Y, March A.
Two young workers, Raymond
Knight, %, swallowed a vial OF
poison, and Rose Gilman, 20, tried
to gas herself by opening the jet on
the Illuminating gas. Both gave as
the reasons for their attempts that
they had been long out of jobs ana
funds.
Jobless Must Fight; Not Starve.
Meanwhile the unemployed work
ers are rallying under the banner of
the Rochester Unemployed Council
and fighting for Work or Wages.
At the last session of the City Coun-
ell a large delegation of jobless
workers, many of them threatened
with evictions and victims of en-
ployment bureau sharks, were there
to present their demands and to
expose the fake proposals with which
the city council is attempting to fool
the workers.
The Socialist" party is also MAX
ing demands" with which they hope
to accomplish what the bosses NAV
fail to do. At the next session OF
the City Council when the "de-
mands" of the socialists will prob
ably come up for discussion the job
less workers will again be there to
smash also these fake demands,
which are to apply only to such
workers as are residents of the city
at least one year. Among these de-
mands are: fake councils dominated
by bosses and their government Of
ficials; the establishment of stores,
city owned, to furnish to workers,
who haven't got a cent, food and
clothing at "cost or less" unemploy-
ment INSURANCE" la Great Gritaln,
where the workers have to pay the
cost; that the city council (repre-
sentatives of the manufacturers) use
all it's "power" to influence manu-
facturers to distribute available
work; etc. Not one word of strug-
gle, merely expecting starving work
ers to make an appeal to the big
hearted bosses" for charity.

OCEAN HOPPER

Russell Boardman, who plans a
round-trip flight across the Allan
tic Ocean, is having no difficulty
in finding someone to share the
task with him.
Boardman's troubles consist,
rather, in refusing the many Of
fers which he has received from
air enthusiasts, most Of them
women. The flier added that the
women are by far the most per.
sistent.
The Bostonian called on Presi-
dent Hoover at the White House,

September 3, weather permitting.
He landed at Boiling Field yeSter-

NEW YORK, Aug. % 0.N.S0.
A spectacular drive to rid Brook

Brewer.
Meanwhile here in New York
the odoriferous "Ewald case" in

City Hall as he was making one

The legal looking document
handed to Walker summoned
him in q $25O.00O SANDER suit
