DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 20.-A net in
crease of 100 permanent Jobs is the
accomplishment of Mayor Murphys
unemployment committee, after five
weeks Of activity backed by pages OF
publicity in the press.
The committees report shows $500
men given jobs in that period, OF
whom $500 got temporary jobs OF
enc, two and three days duration;
720 we're given permanent employ
ment, but during the five weeks the
municipality owner street railway sys
tenn laid off 600 men, showing the
net gain of 100 jobs

Thousands of workers voted tor
Murphy and company in the last
elections instead of for the Comrnu-
mist Party's demands for immediate
relief, at the rate of S25 week per
jobless worker. They we're fooled by
Murphy's glib promises. Some OF
them know better now, by bitter ex-
perience, but they don't know it from
the capitalist papers.

WORKERS
TO SMASH
THE INJUNCTION
IS Arrested P ic k e is
Actively Modelling

NEW YORK-The needle workers
are getting behind the drive to smash
the injunctions. They know that this
is the fight of all workers. and that
the mass picket lines which must be
organized Monday before Zelgreen
Cafeteria. 257 West 34th St, at $50
p. IN. are the battle lines of the
whole working class. They know that
in every strike now the A. F. L. and
bosses united get out injunctions
against picketing, like the one at
zelgreen Cafeteria, They know what
to expect of this nature when the
great dress strike starts, soon.
Four open air meetings to mob
ilize for the Monday demonstration
before the zelgreen cafeteria and to
form councils of the unemployed were
held in the dress and fur markets
and drew thousands of workers to
hear the speakers. Some workers
joined the councils on the spot.
Pickets Organize.
Wednesday the IS pickets given
five day sentences in special sessions
court for the Smash The Injunction
demonstration before the zelgreen a
week ago met and with splendid en-
thusiaSm organized themselves as
special shock troops to mobilize an
other and bigger demonstration at
the critical moment, Monday.
The pickets already arrested and
sentenced divided themselves into
special committees to go to all work
ers' mass meetings and visit all or
CARNATIONS and enlist their support
in the Representation. A committee
was present at the Webster Hall
meeting Wednesday where Foster
spoke on strike strategy. and on
smashing the injunction as an es-
sential need in any strike from now
on. They got good response from
the workers assembled there. An
other delegation of the pickets was
present last night at the Friends of
Soviet Union mass meeting to call
all to fight to the end against the
injunction system. The Madison
Square Garden Winchefsky Jubilee
Saturday will find another delegation
OF these pickets present. with their
message.
Shop organization is vital Every
group of workers who want to pre-
serve the right to strike must rally
to the mass demonstration in viola
ton of the injunction Monday.

N. Y, one of these competitors also
proposes wage cuts, and all others
will follow. The Shoe and Leather
Industrial League of the Trade Union
Unity League points out that these
wage cuts do not bring more work
to anybody. All bosses are cutting
wages, and when one starts, the
others follow. This could go on for
ever if the worker let it gols OH.
Only the determined resistance Of the

and strike against every wage cut,
