The Public Welfare Board has sent out in
vitations to industrialists, financiers, business
men, Socialists" and A. F. of l.. takers to
attend socalled unemployment conference
which is to be held soon at City Hail. No
workers, employed unemployed, have been
invited No Communists have been asked to
attend, and the date has been kept secret,
so none of these unlimited guests will show
up.
Whose Welfare?
The Public Welfare Board is not holding this
fake conference because the board is inter-
ested in the welfare Of the unemployed.
This is indicated by the fact that the I'M
employed have not been invited The Pubic
Welfare Board is interested only in the well
fare of the big bankers, industrialists, Wall
Street grafters and profit seeking exploiters.
What worries the welfare board at the
present time is the growing militance Of the
hungry and jobless workers who are joining
the unemployed councils of the Trade Union
Unity League to fight for unemployment in
surance The militant action of over 100000
jobless workers in the streets of Budapest
showed the welfare crowd what hungry work
ers can do and what they undoubtedly will
be doing this winter in America.
Let's Examine the Record!
The Welfare Board is calling this fake con-
ference to fool the workers into believing the
bosses will do something for them. Such
hideous monstrosities as municipal lodging
houses, bread lines and Tammany unem-
ployment bureaus, under the direct super
vision of the Welfare Board. What the
Welfare Board did in the past gives good
idea of what it will do in the future.
We may be sure that when the Industrial
lists and the bushes men and the socialists"
and the A. F. of L. takers meet down at
City Hall they will view with alarm the
growing militancy Of the workers. They will
denounce the Communists as enemies of good
Americanism and honest graft" and will
propose that steps be taken to lquidate
the fighting spirit of the workers. They
will have before them all kinds Of spurious
relief proposals. Every plan Of the bosses,
from bread lines and night sticks to unem-
ployment offices and the fake insurance
schemes, will be there for their consideration.
They will have before them everything from
phoney building programs to the proposition
that middle aged workers should be given
the jobs and the younger workers kicked
out. Out of such material they will hash up
a fake program to deceive the workers They
will put forward series Of quick remedies
in lieu of real unemployment relief.
What the Communists Demand
But in the meantime the Communist Party
and the Trade Union Unity League moves
forward drawing more and more workers into
the ranks of the struggle. Workers are be-
ginning to see through the fakery Of the
bosses and their lackeys, the socialist" party,
the A. F. of L. and the so-called Welfare
Board The Communist Party all over Amer
lea is fighting for the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill, which provides for s25
week for all unemployed workers and S.
week for each dependent, to be paid up by
the bosses and their government.
The fight for unemployment insurance is
the major issue of our election campaign.
Only by militant mass struggle on a gigantic
scale can the workers force the bosses to pay
unemployment insurance The Communist
Party and the T.U.U.L. are leading this strug
gle and call all workers to join the Commu-
mist Party and the revolutionary unions and
unemployed councils of the TU.U.L
Workers. Don't starve-fght for immediate
Unemployment Insurance! Vote Communist!
