unemployed are helpless-the law is
4 for the landlord. 1t is sufficient
u for landlord to give a five day
notice and out goes the Unemployed,
even if whole of his or her family
4 is sick or starving. The Judge
frankly stated:
81 am forced to break up homes
destroy the fundamental basis for
civilization, and | have no choice"
| $50 Evicted Daily
This capitalist law is automatic.
Judge Trude said his court evicts
on the average $50 families day.
The odds are all against the I'M
employed"
I A pitiful sight: A 68 years old
! widow with hungry family, a man
! with three children crying for bread,
mothers, fathers with families and
nothing to eat-all evicted or given
ten days to move out. You see, it

deout-it saves some trouble, there
fore the exceptions.
Unemployment is Growing
! In spite of all the promises of
returning prosperity" unemploy-
ment is still increasing and is reach
ing on appalling stage. Even the
capitalist press cannot ignore the
situation.
At least 5000 eviction notices in
Chicago have been Temporarily
postponed by the welfare agencies.
| 10000 Families Evicted
On the new cases-237-(b bosses
figures) a day the total workers
evicted this month, September, will
reach not less than 10000 families.
A worker writes the Daily
Worker:
My experience as one of the
10000 proves to me that this is one
Of the most powerful attempts yet
to beat down the standard of living
Of the workers, yet conceived by the
boss class, to make the workers bear
the burden of the present crisis"
ITO make an appeal to welfare
agency here is to be convinced that
I they cannot and will not do any
thing to halt the actual starvation
of the already starving workers" "
/ Same All Over u. S.
These facts about Chicago apply
equally to every industrial center
in the United States. In New York,
Detroit, Cleveland, the situation is
even worse. As time goes by, with
jobs growing less and less, the en-
tire 100000 swill face eviction;
with their families this counts from
between 25,000,000 and 40,00O,000
who face this plight.
The boss courts admit they exist
for this purpose; the charity"
joints help merely to cover up the
real depth of the worsening condi-
tons of the workers. 1t is up to
workers themselves to increase the
fight for the immediate passage of
the Unemployment Insurance Bill,
advocated by the Communist Party.
Employed and Unemployed, Unite
Nor is this the task of the unem-
ployed workers alone. Along with
the worsening crisis and increasing
unemployment comes drastic wage
cuts for the workers on the job. The
worse conditions of the unemployed
workers, the bigger and more drastic
will become the wage cuts for the
unemployed; the less secure their
4 Jobs, the worse the speed-up forced
on them by the bosses. 1t is neces-
sary for all workers to unite in the
struggle for unemployment insur-
ance and against wage cuts.
Vote Communist!
The Communist Party, in it's cleo
ion campaign points out to all
workers that the most crying need
is an immediate and broad class
fight for unemployment insurance.
This will never be granted by the
bosses. They must be forced to
hand over unemployment insurance.
A mighty effort must be put up bby
the workers, in supporting the Com
munist candidates, to wiring unem-
ployment insurance from the boss
government. "Organize and Strike
Against Wage Cuts!" Demand the
Passage of the Unemployment In
surance Bill" "Vote Communist"
