Terror Against JobIess Workers
In Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. 81
Seeing the increasing growth and &C
tivity Of the Unemployed Council In
fighting for relief for the jobless Of
this city, the city police have in
creased their terror against the
workers.
On october 81. an active member
of the Unemployed Council was jailed
for being a deleeate that was going
to see the head of the welfare board.
Previous to this. a meeting had been
held in front of the civ agency that
eiveS out tickets for the workers to
ret food and LODGING. The chief
faker there, 'Dehorn Tony" had re-
fused number of workers the aid
they had asked for and told them
that they could go jump into the
river for all he cared.
At the civ hall where the workers
were sent the police were present
and refused the group admission, and
began to dispense the crowd. The
committee stood firm and the cops
tried to bodily throw the workers out.
However, the workers resisted and
when the cops saw that the workers
meant business they finally allowed
the committee to go in.
Comrade Eioff was jailed because
he protested against the cops and
insisted that the committee be let in.
In court the following morning the
Judge saw that it would be too OBJ
ious If he sentenced him to Jail and
was forced to leave him go on a sus-
pended sentence. While the trial was
going on, a protest demonstration
was being held by the Unemployed
Council and the International Labor
Defense at Bridge Square.
