Honor Sacco Vanzetti
Despite Cops Attack

IRONWOOD, Mich, Aug. GA
Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration was
held here at TOO p. m. yesterday.
The demonstration was called to be
held at the Chicago g. Northwestern
Park, which is the property of the
u. S. government. We were warned
by the police several times that we
could not hold our meetings there.
Nevertheless, we modified our de-
Tense group and proceeded to open
up the meeting at the above-named
park.
Shortly after the chairman at
tempted to open up the meeting, the
police made their appearance and
broke up the meeting. The park
has been used for quite some time
for parking cars and large groups
OF men can often be seen sleeping
on the grounds, but, if the working
class wants to hold short meeting
there, nothing doing.
However, before dispensing, one of
our speakers got up and called upon
the workers to follow the truck to

Even on the May l holiday which

The speed with which this, as well

made possible by mighty enthusiasm

our group signed the following agree
ment with the leading comrades of

This places a great responsibility
on us. We in our countries must
widely popularize the achievements
in Magnitogorsk as well as the con-
struction of Socialism throughout
the Soviet Union. Preparations must
be made in all centers, especially in
the steel centers, for mass celebra-
tons on Oct. l.

ther bind our workers with the
masses in the Soviet Union and as
an aid in mobilizing our defense of
our fatherland-the Soviet Union"

Hence Music rushes in to the de-
Tense Of Arthur Henderson-the Hen
derson who during the last world war
helped British Imperialism slaughter
millions Of workers and in the late
Macdonald government helped
slaughter Indian workers and peas
ants.
Music wants the workers TO have
faith in MacDonald's comrades-in-
arms, who just yesterday rubbed ell
bows with him, and whose policy is
no different fundamentally. Music
tells the American workers:
1.-THE opposition Of the Trade Union
Congress and the Independent Labor
Party to the Macdonald betrayal is
encouraging. 1t is to be hoped that
the false leaders will be thrown out
Of the party and that the party itself
be reorganized on more militant
and genuinely labor base"

CHICAGO JOBLESS
DEMONSTRATE AT
UNITED CHARITIES
Demand Relief for 4
Families in Need;
Indoor Meeting

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 27.-About
About 1000 unemployed workers dem
onstrated again yesterday in front
of the United Charities at 1880 Mil
waukee Ave. in order to demand re-
lief for four families who have been
refused relief.
This is the second demonstration
in front of the United Charities in
the last five days, the first one last
Friday being broken up and four ar
rested. The delegation was pre-
vented from going inside by the 20
lice, who blocked the office doorway
so that the workers would not be
abb to present their demnds. About
so poliace were modified for this
demonstration. However, seeing the
militancy of the workers, who were
carrying banners and singing songs
in a very militant spirit, they did not
again repeat the same attack as pre-
viously, at which time they broke up
the meeting, dubbed and arrested
workers.
After the demonstration obout TOO
of the workers paraded to 2733
Hirsch Blvd, the headquarters OF
the Unemployed Council, Branch IL,
packing the hall to the door, where
an indoor meeting was held with
about 400 workers and where more
than so signed up for the Unem-
ployed Council. Another delegation
was elected to see the Charities
again and the Unemployed Council,
Branch u, is preparing a huge mass
meeting at 2733 Hirsch Blvd. on Fri
day, Sept %, at 2:3o pm, where a
report will be given by the delegates
Unemployed Council, Branch L.

ing part of their preparation.
