Send Delegates; Meet
February 10
To Fight for Relief
Unemployed Councils
for Seven Hour Day

Addressing its call to all employed
and unemployed workers, adults and
young workers, Negro and white
workers, men and women workers,
the Trade Union Unity League of
Greater New York and New Jersey
announces a general unemployment
conference to meet Wednesday, Feb.
10, at 8 p. NJ, at Manhattan Lyceum.
The T. U. U. L. statement also
urges all workers to demonstrate
Feb. 26 against unemployment and
starvation, and all workers, organi-
cations to elect delegates to the Jer-
sey T. U. u. L. convention, at Irving
Plaza Hall, March IL.
The statement says:
"Six million workers are employed
in the United States today. Over
half a million are unemployed in
Greater New York. Tens of thous-
ands walk the streets in search for
jobs in New Jersey. There is no
outlook for any improvement in the
situation. On the contrary the gov
eminent statistics admit that 300,-
900 additional workers are thrown
out into the streets every month.
The bread lines are frightening.
Millions face starvation
"While hundreds of thousands are
out of jobs, those in the shops and
factories are more brutally speeded
up, wages are slashed and hours in
creased. The speed-up and doubling
up puts tens of thousands on part
time work, and swells the army of
unemployed. The nightmare of I'M
employment, misery, hunger and
starvation hangs over the heads of
all workers. The struggle against
unemployment is the struggle of all
workers against the speed-up, long
hours, wage cuts, and increased ex-
ploitation. All workers, employed
and unemployed, Negro and white,
young and old, men and women.
must unite. Organize unemployed
councils and committees of action
for common struggle for unemploy-
ment relief and the demands of the
Trade Union Unity League.
"The Trade Union Unity League
is the militant new revolutionary
Trade Union Center, which leads
every struggle against the offensive
of the bosses to make the workers
pay for the growing economic crisis.
The bosses use the officials of the
A. F. of L., the socialists, and police
terror to carry through their pro-
gram of driving down the standards
of all workers. The murder of Steve
Katovis by the police on the picket
line, the terror let loose by the
bosses, socialist and A. F. of L., la

ers, shoe and food workers, now on
strike must be met by the united
front of all workers. Join the mill
tant industrial unions of the Trade
Union Unity League. Rally to the
mass struggle against the bosses and
their social fascist agents.
DECENTRALIZATION, or the more
cruel speed-up and wage cuts, the
program of President Hoover and
his economic council, will not solve
the crisis and unemployment. On
the contrary, naturalization is
throwing tens of, thousands more
workers out Of employment. The
tremendous overproduction in all in
dustries, and the lack ofe markets,
leaves only one escape for American
capitalism from economic collapse,
the struggle for world markets
WAR. The capitalists are feverish-
ly preparing for war, especially
against the workers and peasants of
the Soviet Union.
"The Soviet Union is the only
country where the conditions of the
