LONDON, March 24.-The three

STOP EVICTION;
JOBLESS MEET
Open Air Meet Today
at Fake Agency

NEW YORK.-A mass unemployed
meeting was held in front of the fake
city employment agency at SO Leon
ard Street, where thousands of I'M
employed look vainly for jobs. The
meeting was held under the auspices
of the Downtown Unemployed Coun-
Gil.
At the close of the meeting hun
dreds of the unemployed marched
over to the Council headquarters at
q E. 4th Street, where many joined
up. A member of the Council, G.
Sikovski, of 1923 East 9Th Ave, was
evicted. He has three children. The
Downtown Unemployed Council put
the furniture back into the house
on the fourth floor. They afterwards
held an open air meeting to organize
tenants league to prevent further
evictionS.
A worker by the name of Mary
TresSor of 159 East 4th ST., who was
before the judge of the Madison St
Municipal Court, on an eviction case
was not given a chance to speak, but
a committee of the Unemployed
Council spoke to the judge. The
Judge got angry and threatened to
fine them $40 and costs.
A meeting will be held this morn
ing at IL am. in front of the City
Employment Agency at SO Leonard
Street.

5 HELD in MURDER
FRAMEUP CHARGE.
Patterson w orkers
Rally to Defense

PATERSON, N. j., March 24.-Five
workers have been framed-up on a
murder charge here, and have been
arraigned before Recorder Harry
Joelson in the police court. They are
being held without bail, after a plea
of not guilty. Hundreds of workers
were in the courtroom, and outside
of police headquarters on the street.
The murder frame-up charge grows
out of the death of Max Urban, boss
of the silk mill at SO Madison Ave.
Urban, who was on the outs with
many bootleggers and gangsters, was
attacked by d group of men. The
reason for the arrest of the five work.
ers is due to the fact that a strike
was on at the Urban mill at the
time he was killed, though his muir
der was committed by non-strikers
and had nothing to do with the
strike.
A mass protest meeting is being
called by the National Textile Work
erS Union for Friday, pm, at Sc
Van Houten Street, Carpenters Hall
William z. Foster will be the main
speaker.
On Sunday, March 20, at 8 pm,
there will be a defense conference,
called by the International Labor De-
tense and the National Textile Work
ers Union, to which all workingclass
organizations are urged to send dele
gates to arrange for mass defense
of these five workers who face rail-
reading to Jail or worse. The con-
ference will be held at Union Hall,
205 Peterson st.
Those arrested are Helen Gershono-
WITT, BENJAMIN Lieb. Albert Katzhuk,
Louis Harris and Louis Bart. The
likelihood is that they will be charged
with manslaughter and murder in the
first degree, involving the death SEN
tence, as part of the efforts of the
bosses to terrorize and punish all mil
liant workers and rob the working
class of its best fighters.

Thousands Boo, Hiss Hoover
In SlaVe Colony of Porto Rico

Hoover has arrived in Porto Rico,
where the Governor General, Roose-
welt, admits more than so per cent
of the workers and peasants are I'M
employed, where the majority of the
people are suffering from starvation
and where more than half of the
people are diseased-thanks to Amer
lean imperialist domination.
In reporting the arrival of Hoover
on the American battleship at San
Juan, and his parade" through the
streets, nearly all of the capitalist
newspapers deliberately cut out the
fact that large portion of the peo-
pie Missed the representative of
Wall Street Only one New York
boss sheet mentioned this, in a
guarded way, and that was the New
York Evening Post, a supporter OF
the Hoover regime.
The greeting to Hoover was de-
liberately staged. The thin and
peaked school children, most of
whom have tuberculosis or hook
worm, who never get enough to eat,
we're drilled to greet their Presi-
dent" The streets were lined with
troops and the lackeys of imperial

Hoover.
Hoover has an army of secret SER
vice men following him, and the
Porto Rican petty bourgeoisie see
that no "discontented" elements are
allowed to demonstrate against the
Wall Street president. Hoover was
greeted by Iglesias, the socialist and
trade union faker in the island.
His next stop will be the Virgin
Islands, the strongest fort of Wall
Street in the Caribbean Islands.
Here Hoover will inspect the Negro
workers who are forced to work I'M
der contract for the imperialists,
where discrimination against Ne
groes was imported with American
rule. The real object of the i'm
perialist president is to get away
from the demands of the great mass
OF workers and farmers in the United
States for farm and unemployment
relief, and to look over the posses
sions of Wall Street in preparation
for the coming war.

What is actually meant by this
that in January, according to
the faxed figures of the gov
eminent, over 100000 workers
lost their jobs.
In issuing a correction" of this,
the government now says some of
these workers are not really "laid-
off" but work on part time. How
ever, detailed survey by the De-
partment of Commerce in Duluth and
Birmingham showed this to be the
percentage of all persons laid off
without pay" That means these
workers we're actually fired. The
governments figures, counting those
laid Off and the others who we're
given the same treatment, only told
they were fired" shows over 100000
workers we're added to the ranks of
the unemployed army in January.
A more detailed picture of how fac

nication sent to the Daily Worker

hey, N. j., pottery factory. normally
employees from 80 to 100 workers.
Gradually all but IA workers were
laid off! We all got a 10 per cent
wage cut about three weeks ago. Time
and half for overtime cut out about
two weeks ago. Only five men in the
shipping gang work steady; all the
rest work part time, as little as one
or two days per week"
A comrade writing from Chicago,
tells of the unemployment among
women in that city. From figures is
sued by the Chicago Association of
Commerce, it is estimated there are
about 100000 women out of work in
Chicago.
This worker writes further that
from her personal experience of con-
ditions "at relief stations and char
ity centers they prove one thing: the
women are today the most militant
workers to be found at the charity
centers. Negro and white women at
these and in the hospital clinics are
making common cause in their pro-
test from time to time.
May 1st 1881 should be a ire

date relief and social insurance. "

Children Are Selling Tick cts for Concert Next Sunday Night

To please an audience made ur of music lovers is one thing. To enthuse people made up of all walks of life is another. This is what John c. Manning, eminent pianist who plays next Sunday evening at the Public School Au- ditorium in Juneau, has a reputa- tion of doing.
 William Allen White in the Elm poria, Kansas daily paper, makes this comment after a recital by MT. Manning in that city.
 "The program was heavy and lasted for an hour and twenty minutes, and there was this re- markable thing about it: though there was not light piece on the program, the three composers whose works made the program being Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin, no one in the audience seemed to grow weary"
 Highest Compliment
 This is the highest compliment ever paid to pianist in Emporia. At the close of this heavy, classi- cal program, unrelieved by song or any other form of musical di- version, the audience insisted on an encore. If it had been a musi- cal crowd this would have been ex- pected.
