why the unemployed workers of this
city couldn't march down Broadway
to City Hall to present their de-

answer was that he would take us
down in police car.
"The story about our getting away

police then charged on the crowd,
beating up men, women and chill

the police. Minor was pushed around
by the cops. But we each proceeded
to the City Hall and met there to
present the demands of the 10000
workers who had elected US. There
were over 1000 of the marchers who
had walked or had ridden down to
City Hall. We met on the corner

mediately, we were pinched, finger
printed, photographed, switched from
Jail to Jail, with the whole capitalist
state attacking the mass of unem-
ployed workers by trying to keep US
in Jail without bail.
"The worst type of lie is the one
about Foster and Minor having
money, and Lester and | using a
few cents to buy coffee. This is the
sheerest provocation. Nothing of the
kind happened. The first time we
heard of it is when we saw it in
the capitalist papers, where it was
cooked up. Just as soon as the In

Collisions between French troops

you what took place in Warren,
March 6. A week prior to the
demonstration the whole police
force and the American Legion were
busy trying to find Communists
here. They were as scared as rats
of the demonstration of the en-
ployed and unemployed workers.
Paul Kostyshak was arrested and
is serving % days for passing out
unemployed literature. On March 5
eight members of the Communist
Party were arrested in order to stop
the demonstration being held. When

But this will not stop the struggle
of the unemployed. They will carry
on the struggle and press their de-
mand for Work or Wages. We do
not fear Jail. If we have to go to
Jail for fighting for Work or Wages,
we will go there. So far as we are
concerned, it is case of capitalist
class vengeance against the commit
tee representing 10000 workers who
participated in the mass unemployed
demonstration"

men circulated such rumors as:
Negroes, you will be sent back to
the South; you keep on distribut-
ing leaflets and you will be sent
back to Africa" "Them Russians
are cutting off the heads of the
preachers. "There won't be any
white workers in the parade, and
IA Negroes will be shot down with
machine guns"
Fake Relief Talk.
The Wagner bill for federal en-
ployment offices, the Brookhart re-
quest for S50,O00,000 relief, and
other such hypocritical gestures
were featured in the Washington
papers, with the idea of tricking the
jobless into the idea everything is
all right.
At meetings, the police stood in
gangs near the entrance and tried
to brighten workers away.
When the parade started at the
White House, the police threw out
of line all except members of the
Unemployed Council. The tear gas
was turned on when William Law
renee started to speak. A crowd of
5000, however, was able to see the
demonstration, and the placards
raised, carrying slogans for "im-
mediate relief" unemployment in
surance," "seven-hour day." "Unity
of Negro and white workers" "Down
with child labor" "Down with police
brutality" etc.
Negroes Will Fight.
The worldwide mass movement
goes on, however, and also here in
Washington. The workers and the
jobless are raising the cry for self
determination for Negroes, for the
establishment of workers and farm
ers' governments in U. S., Africa,
China, India, and all colonial and
imperialist countries, by which
alone can their problem of unem-
ployment be really solved.
After the parade, s a nd e S
against the Negro demonstrators
were published, stating that they
fled from the demonstration. These
statements are absolutely false, and
not only in Washington but in many
southern cities, the Negro workers
were in the majority in demonstra-
tions.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 10.
William Green in his speech here
yesterday to the Lewis Convention"
of the U. NJ. w. A. came out clear
ly for Lewis, and denounced the
Springfield convention" and the
union formed there. He stated that
the case of John Walker, president
of the Illinois Federation of Labor,
would be referred to the executive
council of the A. F. of L. Walker
is the secretary treasurer of the
Peabody coal company's new union,
and Green's action pledges the A.

the coal operators who fight Pea
body, and fight the "reorganized
U. NJ. W."
This poses a neat problem for
Music, who now has to work with
Green, through Muste's United Tex
tile Workers, to mislead the south
ern mill hands, and against Green,
through the Muste-F Harrington Gre
organized UNIV" to mislead the
coal miners.
The miners, however, have a
simpler task. They have their own
union, the National Miners Union,
and will hold their own Illinois con-
vention, April Sc in Zeigler, and
their own national convention in
Pittsburgh, June 1, to work out
plans for national struggle to es-
tablish union conditions.

An effort is to be made by the Oriental Cooperative Corpora tion of Juneau to create a mar ket in China for Alaska lumber. Theodore Tollefsen, president and manager of the company, left Juneau recently for the Far East, it being his inteneion to go direct to Shanghai from Seattle to arrange marketing details.
 According to present plans, a cargo ship will come to Alaska late in February for the first shipment of northern lumber to the Orient. The lumber, it is expected, will be cut by the Hid den Falls Lumber Company's mill at Hidden Falls.-Anchor- age Daily News.

POTENTIAL INDUSTRY FOR
 ALASKA

An engineer in Russia has evolved a method of making paper from seaweed on a large scale at a low cost of produc- tion. A factory has been built on the Siberian coast which will use annually a crop of 1OO,- 900 tons of seaweed.
 Sixteen different kinds of pa per, as well as cardboard and glue, already have been obtain ed from seaweed, and the chief waste product is a fireproof sub stance that can be manufactur- ed into tiles.
 With it's hundreds of miles of coastal shores and millions of tons of seaweeds on her shores, Alaska as a paper producer from seaweed has potential possibili- ties.

LEGAL COMPLICATIONS
 IN POWER LICENSE

J. T. Jones of Portland, Ore- gon, through attorney has filed suit to stop issuance of power li- cense to I. and J. D. Zellerbach of San Francisco for a power project on Swan Lake, near Ket- chikan.
 Jones claims he holds title to A60 acres of land involved in the project and alleges that issu- ance of the license would de- prive him of his rights. He claims he acquired his title from Chief Johnson and Joe Starr, Natives of Ketchikan. Officials of the Power Commission, a. gainst whom the action is direct ed, said that official records did not show that the native In dianS ever owned the land. De- cision in this case will be watch ed with interest as it will have a very serious bearing on the question of inherent rights and nossessory titles of Indians to lands in Alaska.

They would also realize how much boys and girls in China are like American boys and girls with their likes and 1islikes, their joys and sorrows, their tears and smiles and would feel that they are indeed their own brothers and sisters.

A GAS LINE

The other day a company in the Middle West announced that it had signed contracts for the construction of the longest gas main in the world, a main which lis to convey natural gas 1000 miles from Texas to Chicago, and on the way supply more than fifty towns and smaller communities in Kansas, Iowa Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. All this at a cost of |$1OO,0O0,OOO.
 The gas to be tapped lies be- meath 100000 acres in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Never be- fore has so large a reserve been drawn upon for a single system. And what a system! More than 21O,OOO tons of 24-inch pipe must be laid in the main line and an additional 100000 tons of small CT pipe, ranging in diameter from 8 to 16 inches for the later als, which in themselves have a total length of 1000 miles. It will take 10000 horsepower develop ed by compressors to push the gas along, an amount of energy which will ultimately be in creased to 100000 horsepower.
 Accustomed though it is to changing it's practices overnight, even the petroleum industry was astonished. Yet it had only to read the signs of the technical times to foresee this long pipe with it's thinner branches writh- ing up hills and down dales, dip ping into swamps and rivers, and at last pouring 3OO,OOO,O0O cubic feet into Chicago and an equal quantity into half a hundred smaller towns every day.
 There was a pipe line, for ex- ample, that had been completed in 1928 from Amerillo, Texas, to Denver and Pueblo, Col. From the vast Louisiana fields led even longer pipes-one 450 miles long to Birmingham and Allan ta, Ga., and another 430 miles long to St. Louis. The new Texas Chicago system is but the logical outcome of a development which began fifty years ago in Penn sylvania and West Virginia.
