CHICAGO BOSSES MAKE USE
OF THE CHURCH TO FOOL
UNEMPLOYED WORKERS

The main point, however, is that appeal
after appeal may be launched at the bosses;
they may be urged time after time to aid the
unemployed by these stupid little shop
schemes, but this will mean nothing, since I'M
employment is a result of the basic contradic-
tions of capitalism resulting in overproduc-
ton, inability of finding markets for their
goods, and consequent unemployment for the
workers-all caused by the bosses in the zeal
Gus and wild race for profits. Dividing up the
work at this stage of permanent unemploy-
ment means forcing the workers as class to
accept lower standard of living.
Among other Immediate steps, is an appeal
to the general public to find and create odd
jobs for the unemployed to "help them over
until regular work comes" las it surely will
according to the implications of the report!).
This find of odd jobs will certainly aid 100000
unemployed of Chicago! No doubt all of the
100000 will be absorbed into the odd jobs!
And still another step recommended is the
compilation of autobiography on Unemploy-
ment!" These are the immediate steps.
1t is made clear by the report that the real
reason for this unemployment committee,
sponsored by the church, social workers, fake
labor leaders and employers Ia holy group,
indeed) is one: to turn the unemployed and
suffering workers away from militant action,
away from demonstrations, away from unified
fighting for Work or Wages, away from the
leadership of real revolutionary center, as
the Trade Union Unity League, to patient
waiting until their holy committees see to it
that the photography is written and the work
ers starve.
In the face of this brazen attempt on the
part of the churches and employers and the
treacherous A. F. of L. officials, to hold back
the unemployed from militant struggle, the
answer of the Council of Unemployed must be
with intensified work to mobilize the great
numbers of unemployed around the central
slogan Work or Wages" show the workers
that either they must starve or fight and
March 9th showed clearly to all that the I'M
employed workers are no longer content to
listen to phrases from the takers but demand
militant, fighting revolutionary action. Work
or Wages!

who genuinely believe in the disnterestedness
of the organization.
The officers who run the organizations are
clearly one of two types-either promoters out
for good job which gives them also the graft
fication of public attention-and a salary
or sincere enthusiasts thoroughly alarmed at
the menace of radical ideas to property inter-
ests and what they conceive to be our Storm

Financial Appeals.
Despite the fact that most of the income of
these professionally patriotic bodies comes from
business men, corporations, and wealthy givers
in fairly large amounts, public appeals for
membership and funds are made bv most of
them. What proportion is so raised by circu-
lars and leaflets is impossible to estimate, but
the character of the literature of appeal throws
light on the type of patriotism they are most
eager to serve. And it shows what they think
will bring the money.
The National Security League, which ap-
peals widely for dollar memberships land over)
heads its appeal
For an American America and law and or
der" or
"For better, safer, and more prosperous
America"
1t pledges that the money will be used to
increase respect for constitutional government
and in opposing socialism, Communism, and
Bolshevism." In one letter it asks:
care you willing to help match, for Aner-l
lean Propaganda what the Communists are
spending for anti-American propaganda" as
serting that, ''if the Bolsheviki are spending
over 100000 month in England, it can be
safely assumed that they are spending over
$1,000000 year here"
Another Security League appeal offers men,
bership at a chance to save Americas soul.
1t reads:
'sHelp save America! America is in danger
of losing her soul. The National Security
League offers you the means of putting forth
your Individual force to help save it. Will you
do this by giving u.s. ETC.

BY LYDIA OXEN

THE situation of the unemployed is becoming
increasingly worse. Larger numbers of
workers are being thrown out of work, and
their misery spurs them OH to participate ac-
lively and militanty in the work of the Coun-
Gil of Unemployed, affiliated with the T. U.
U. L. AS the workers begin to fight, the
bosses find it necessary to change their tao
tics of speaking and acting prosperity" and
attempting to close the eyes 81 the workers to
their misery. Now they are finding it neces-
sary to attempt in words, to show the work.
ers that they recognize their rotten position,
and pretend that they are trying to do some
thing to alleviate it.
To this end, the Chicago Church Federation
issued report, on the heels of the unem-
ployed demonstration, demanding work or
wages before the City Hall, Friday, February
21st, advocating permanent committee, COM
posed of representatives from the Chicago
Council of Social Agencies, Chicago Church
Federation, Chicago Commons, the Urban
League, and in general to quote the report
Economists, social workers, representatives of
the religious and secular press, labor leaders,
and employers"
1t is very significant that the purpose of
this committee is "this committee concerns it
self not merely with immediate steps to allie
viate the present acute unemployment situa-
ton, but also plan for ultimate solution" The
whole basis of their work is one that shows
itself to be based, not any sort of desire
to force immediate relief for the 100000 I'M
employed in Chicago but based on their neces-
sty, as bosses agency of fooling the suf-
fering unemployed and employed workers that
they are attempting to get them relief, and
that unemployment, under capitalism, can be
solved.
They plan to work, as their Immediate
plans" show, by appealing to the employers
"to divide their work as equally as possible
among all the employed, and as additional en-
ployees are taken on, give preference to work.
ers with dependents" What sort of relief is
this for the 100000 unemployed workers in
Chicago-who in the first place have no "work
to be equally divided among, and no posi-
bility of being taken on as Additional en-
ployees" or no dependents?

men are out of work. Many men came here on
the promise Of work from steel company,
but when the factory opened it only hired
about 800 men and that's about all it ever
will hire, so all those poor people who sold
their small holdings very cheap to come up
here are all down on the poorest side Of town,
living together like cockroaches and starving

diseases and dying like flies. The stores will
