ALL. NOW ADMITS
4,S60,OOO JOBLESS
Still Putting Figures
Too Low; Increasing

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. A.
With the government bureau of CEN
sus director admitting 100000 out of
work with evidence multiplying in
the shape Of breadlines and mass
starvation and freezing of workers
that these numbers are correct, Will
liam Green, president of the A. F. Of
L., has been forced to raise his own
figures a little. Green has been do
ing the bosses work by minimizing
the mass misery, but his bluff is get
ting too weak. Yesterday he admit
ted that there were 100000 jobless
in November, based on reports Of the
A. F. of L. unions. He stated % per
cent of A. F. of L. members pobless
in November, and 10 per cent of the
others workin g part time. These
figures are brazen understatements,
but at least Green admits that much.
Green said that the A. F. of L.
reports showed that the unemploy-
ment was general throughout all cit
les. In nine cities ther was an in
crease of unemployment of 20 per
cent from October to November.
Gren has surrendered to the big
employers who want Doak of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
for Secretary of Labor. He said yes
terday he would not oppose the ap-
pointment.

Terrific Battle Before Scab Zelgreen Cafeteria
Police Make No Arrests; Try to Kill Negro
Pickets Especially; One Still Unconscious

NEW YORK-Two thousand work
ers and unemployed Haunted Police
Commissioner Mulrooneys boast yes
terday that he had made adequate
preparation" to stop demonstrations
against the injunction at zelgreen
Cafeteria. They demonstrated effec-
lively and militantly in the face of
bigger army of patrolmen, police
cossacks, and plain clothes men than
has ever before been assembled there
They are as determined as ever to
smash the injunction, and to save
the right to strike in New York.
Zelgreen went out of business for
the day long before the hour set for
the demonstration, $50 p. m. Two
patrol wagons stood in front of the
scab cafeteria, two police emergency
wagons were lurking in the bus sta
ton across the street, with their loads
of tear gas; according to capitalist
reporters 300 police with gas and ma
chine guns were ambushed around
the corner in an empty building, and
over 200 uniformed police and more
than 100 plain clothes detectives were
in the street and along the sidewalk.
The north sidewalk of 34th ST., in
front of zelgreen was blocked off
entirely-nobody but dicks and A. F..
L. gangsters allowed to use it. There
was policeman stationed every five
feet from Eighth Ave. to Seventh.
Against this array the 1000 heroic
pickets marched, singing. shouting,

NEW YORK-The war plot against
the Soviet Union, exposed in detail
by the confessions of the members Of
the sabotage ring on trial in Mos
COW, is rousing the working class of
the world to the task of defending
the Workers State. War against the
Soviet Union would be no picnic for
the working class of the capitalist
countries, even if they allowed them
selves to be dragged into it. The
150,000,000 population of the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics will
fight like tigers against the program
of giving their factories back to the
capitalists and the land back to the
landlords. They have had enough of
slavery and serfdom, and they are
immensely stronger, technically, than
in 1918-1921, when they beat back
from ruined country the soldiers
of every nation of the allies.
U. S. S. r. Wants No War.
Inc workers and peasants Vi the
Soviet Union do not want to kill
any workers or farmers of any other
country. The Soviet Union has made
tremendous efforts to avoid war.
Time after time the commissariat OF
foreign affairs has proposed in arms
conferences at Geneva that armies
and navies be abolished. Insults and
extreme provocations, actual invasion
over the Manchurian frontier, and
assassination of Soviet ENJOYS, which
for any capitalist country would be
abundant cause for war, has been,
not exactly overlooked, but at least
not regarded as cause for war by the
workers and peasants government of
the U. S. S. R.
If war takes place it must be in
the form of deliberate, planned,
cynical attack by the imperialist

The "Daily" Is Out Today, But You Must

The only way the Daily Worker goes to press tonight

subpoenng of Foster and Amter by the Fish Commission
is further evidence Of the preparations for attack against
the workers.
The trial in Moscow brings forward every day more
clearly than the mperiais preparations for attack
against the Soviet Union.

Anna Louise Strong Speaks.
She speaks to open mass meetings
in Cleveland, Dec. IL; Detroit
(Danceland Auditorium, Dec. IA;
Chicago, Dec. IS; st. Louis, Dec. 10;
Seattle, Dec. 81; San Francisco, Dec.
27.
At each meeting, the Moscow News
and the Daily Worker, with the full
and latest accounts of the war plot
discoveries and the workers cam
paign to smash the war plans, will
be distributed.
Many other meetings are arranged
in big industrial cities in the United
States and dates and halls will be
announced soon. All these meetings
eliminate in a great demonstration
of workers of Washington, D. c., and
mass delegations from all cities
within reach. The demonstrations
in Washington are before the French
and English embassies, particularly
the French, as the confessions of the
Moscow sabotagers show that the
French general staff is the spear
head of the attack on the Soviet
Union.
The Communist Party calls on all
workers to support the anti-imperial-
ist war campaign of the Friends of
the Soviet Union, and to prepare for
mass demonstrations soon before the
federal buildings in New York and
Chicago to protect the war campaign
of the United States imperialist gov
which is closely connected
with the European plot.

EAGLE, BOSS TRIES
T @ OIL STRIKERS
WITH EMPTY CARS
Pretends to Bring In
Scabs; Mass Picketing

NEW YORK.-Day by day, their
ranks as strong as ever and their
enthusiasm rising higher, the 900
strikers at Eagle Pencil Co. picket
their shop and perfect their organi-
cation.
Each day they defy the intimidat-
ing presence Of more police. Yes
terday there we're more than 60 cops
in uniform scattered around, as the
mass picket line of hundreds Of
strikers swung around the factory,
carrying signs, I'VE Are On Strike
Against the Eagle Pencil Company's
Ten Per Cent Wage Cut"
Plain clothes men stand around
and insult the girl strikers. The
shop foremen put themselves in front
of the place and try to intimidate
the strikers. The police captain tries
to limit pickets to Is. 1t doesn't
work.
The company has hired II Cadillac
limousines, which make several trips
each with drawn linds, pretending to
bring in scabs. 1t is known that
most of the cars are empty-an old
trick to try and discourage the
strikers.
When scab' does show up, he is
escorted with great formality to the
door by about ten police.
Factory Can't Produce.
The factory is unable to work ex-
cept for the box shop, across 10 So.
from the main building. In the box
house some so girls still work; the
strikers having been unable so far
to talk to them. However,, the
printers in this shop quit and the
girls were sent home at $50 yesterday
for lack of stock, because the rest
of the place is closed.
Today there will be the usual
picket lines and strike meetings and
departmental meetings will be held,
to organize visiting of the Eagle
workers Saturday and Sunday, to
deny the bosses rumors, and to per-
feet organization.
The single arrest yesterday on the
Eagle Pencil Co. picket line was that
of Bernard Freifeld, age 10. He was
taken up at noon for calling scab
a scab. The management of the
Eagle hates to hear this word, and
has told the police to arrest those
using it. In court Freifeld was de-
Tended by the International Labor
Defense, which forced the court to
free him. He got big ovation when
he walked back into the strike meet
ing later in the day
1t was shown in the courtroom
that this worker got SASS a week
some four months ago, then was cut
to $3.50 and finally down to $l2.15.

ticipated in the Anti Interventionist
fronts Of 1919-192O, greeted us enthu-
siastically, declaring;
THE workers Of the Soviet Union

mist Party will defeat and destroy

sacrifice to mobilize the masses in
their respective countries against in

Worker Is Judge.
The ANIO workers feel greatly
honored by the appointment of Com
rade Lvov, ANIO worker of long
standing as judge in the high court
for the trying Of the wreckers. Com
rade Lvoy is a carpenter and has
worked for 35 years at his bench.
He has been a party member since
1918, was a shock brigade leader,
and has great influence among the
workers.
Reconstruction of the AMO plant
was under way for two years involv-
ing the erection of many new plants.
1t is now nearing completion. The

robbers. The capitalist press of the
world is seething with propaganda
for just such an attack. The most
outrageous lies about convict labor,
about the sales of Soviet products
for the purpose of buying machinery
being dumping" with attempts to
convince, in the face of the facts
and of all reason, the farmers and
unemployed that the Soviet workers
are injuring them. There are ap-
peals to religion. The A. F. of L. in
America, the socialist parties and
reforniSt unions everywhere are
modified to give strength to the war
campaign.
Workers Must Be Ready
The workers must awaken to this
danger, must refuse to be used as
cannon fodder, conscripted and flung
into battlefields in Europe md Asia,
sent to kill the workers who have
freed themselves from capitalist and
landlord. To be used that way would
rivet the chains tighter arounu the
proletariat of capitalist countries, and
would make the rivers of Russia run
red with blood, would build gal
lows at every crossroads If it sue
ceeded. 1t is up to the workers and
farming masses to see that it does
not succeed. They must be ready to
turn imperialist war into civil war
against capitalism.

mobilize the workers of America
against it, the Friends of the Soviet
