contributing to the ruin of the la

American authorities serves to

SEAMEN'S WAGES
SLASHED 10 P. c.
Grace Line S ailors
Urged to Strike

NEW YORK.-When the crew of
the SIS. Venezuela of the Grace Line
went to sign on for the next trip
Nov. II they were taken one by one
to the private office on the dock,
which was filled with company thugs,
government officials and bosses from
each department of the ship, where
they we're signed on at 10 per cent
cut in pay.
There was no chance to protest be-
cause the seamen alone in the office
surrounded by bosses and detectives
we're nearly forced to sign. The COM
pany, however, was prepared for a
protest. All during the signing on
the crew the bosses had large crowd
of strike-breakers locked in another
office under heavy guard.
Seamen everywhere must now
stand ready to resist these cuts. Or
game committees on your ship and
when the cut comes strike against
it when the ship is ready to sail. De-
mand clean sleeping quarters, decent
meals. Strike against the two watch
system. Force the owners of the We
nezuela to move the galley, bakery
and butcher shop away from the vici-
nifty of the toilets and chutes. Join

HUNGER HEARING
IN BRONX, SP. M.
Will Expose Misery
and Starvation

NEW YORK. - The Unemployed
Branches of the Bronx have ar
ranged a public hearing to expose
starvation and the miserable condi-
tons Of the unemployed workers. The
hearing will take place at Ambas-
sador Hall, 3rd Ave. and Claremont
Parkway at pm. tonight.
When a delegation of jobless
workers visited Borough President
Bruckner on Nov 2, he claimed that
the cases Of the workers on the de-
legation were picked as the worst
ones. The borough president has
been invited to witness the testimony
of the workers in the Bronx, some
of them having disposseS notices on
hand. The alderman and assembly
men are also invited.
Workers Of the Bronx are urged to
come to the hearing in masses and
give fitting answer to the politi-
clans by organizing into the Unem-
ployed Council to fight for imme-
date relief and unemployment in
Surance.
The presidium for the hearing was
elected at mass meeting of the
trade unions in the Bronx.

High Gas Rates

In preparation for the public hear
ing Wednesday, November 10, p. m.
at Public School 1876, Meserole g.
Bushwick SITS, the Williamsburgh
Unemployed Council held two open
air rallies yesterday one near the
gas company at South Second and
Bedford.
A good crowd Of workers and
housewives gathered and responded
Immediately to the proposal for a
struggle against the high rates of gas
and electricity. A committee of six
teen men and women was elected to
go in and make immediate demands
on the company to lower gas rates.
Company officials barred the doors
when they saw the crowd coming and
hurriedly telephoned to the police.
When the police arrived they began
to swing clubs and attempted TO
break up the meeting and arrest the
speakers. But the militancy of the
crowd checked them and very reluc-
family they were forced to retire.
The workers expressed a willing
ness to fight against the high gas
and electric rates and to join the
Unemployed Councils.

Student Expelled
from School for
YCL Membership

Selling the pretext that she had
promised not to disseminate "propa-
ganda among her schoolmates, the
heads of Morris High School have
expelled Rose Tekalsky, a member of
the Young Communist League, for
taking part in the formation of a
Social Problems Club.
This part of their campaign in the
suppression of ideas outside their
bosses propaganda, however, has
stirred up the resentment of stu
dents, including many teachers, who
probably lack courage to express it
for fear of their jobs.
Members of the broken up Social
Problems Club have formed an or
ganized unit to spread the fight for
her reinstatement and protest meet
ings and the signing of petitions will
continue until she is back.

the other investigators merely
scratched the surface and did not
begin to uncover the situation of
grating that goes on with "unem-
ployment relief funds The fact re-
mains. that the vast army of unem-
pIoyed workers in New York are not
getting relief.
Mr.. Sterling read many pages of
names Of individuals who we're re-
ceiving relief" though they had good
incomes, while the starving unem-
ployed were not given anything be-
cause they were not tools of the
Tammany politicians.
Unemployment Worse.
In his statements, Sterling ad-
mitted that unemployment was grow
ing worse all the time, and that this
winter the situation would be worse
than ever before.
Just before the election the Tam
many politicians registered 10000
unemployed for relief" but the re-
lief that was paid out to the list that
Sterling read had not even registered.
They were paid because some Tam
many politicians thought this was
the best way of paying them their
share of graft-out of funds that
to feed the unemployed.
The Seabury committee, at this
time before relief is being handed
out except to Tammany grafters, is
already starting propaganda to "cut
down" ON relief to the unemployed.

Tammany Grafters Rob Relief
Fund to Pay Their Henchmen

NEW YORK-Graft is being paid
by Tammany Hall out of funds which
are supposed to go for unemployment

Graft 100000 From Relief"
William T. Sterling, the accountant
who went over the unemployment
relief records, said he estimated that
around 100000 of relief funds was
handed out in this form of graft.
How much out of the $4,000, 900
which the city of New York is sup
posed to use for unemployment re-

out. But Sterling pointed out 1873
cases where relief" was paid simply
because the ones who got relief were
on the Tammany pay roll.
The henchmen who got "relief"
we're mainly Tammany henchmen,
though socialists and republicans
were also allotted relief" in the form
of graft.

Open Hearing in
Harlem on Hunger
March to Charity Out
fit; Demand Relief

NEW YORK.-At the open hearing
on unemployment which took place
In Harlem Wednesday night, hun
dreds of workers of the neighborhood
elected a mass delegation to make
demands upon the Harlem branch of
the charity organization society at 81
E. 125th st. for the immediate relief
Of the most needy families whose sit
uation was made public before this
gathering.
This morning IS white and Negro
working men and women set out from
the headquarters of the Harlem I'M
employed branch, 2072 5th Ave. as
the delegation. They brought with
them to the charity organization So
ciety many cases among which were
Mary Livingston, IL w. 1872 st. I'M
employed hospital worker, whose
child is sick in bed from undernour-
jshment; Mrs. Mary Davis, 215 w.
145th St., unemployed domestic work
er whose child has been going to
school without food, totally depend
ant upon help from the teacher; as
well as numerous other cases.
The Charity Organization Society
of Harlem, through its supervisor,
Mrs. Freeman, declared that no mat
ter how urgent the cases her office
could DO nothing for them. This Of
flee consists of four rooms and
large clerical force, but all resources
were denied any of these workers.
Mrs. Freeman declared that the Of
flee could only refer workers to the
= down town office at 105 e. 22nd st.
Many of the workers in the delega-
ton had previously been to the down
town office where they had been sent
from one agency to another without
relief The insistence of the delega-
ton finally won immediate action in
the worst case, that of Mrs. Livings-
ton. and carfares for the entire dele
CATION to and from the down town
office with promise of immediate ac-
ton there in the other cases.
The delegation succeeded in forcing
the charity organization society to
send an investigator to Mrs. Livings-
tons home and provide IS in grocer
les for her and her child as well as
to secure nurse for the sick child.
The other needy cases were furn-
isaed immediate relief only by the
solidarity and action of the members
of the Harlem unemployed branch
who gathered food stuffS in the
neighborhood, and distributed them
among the starving families brought
to light by the open hearing. Friday
morning these workers together with
mass delegation that has volunteered
from the neighborhood will call the
bluff of the Charity Organization So
ciety by going en- masse to the Down
Town office and demanding work or
immediate relief for the many other
needy cases.

Minor to Speak on
National Question
~ Forum Sunday

NEW YORK.-Robert Minor, a
well known leader in the Communist
Movement, will speak on 1.-THE Ma

this Sunday night at 8 p. m. at the
Workers Forum, conducted by the
Workers School, at IS E. 18th St.,

Students of the Workers School
and all workers are urged to attend
this vital lecture which will expose
the Marxist-Leninist line in regard
to the national question in general
and that in the U. S. A. in particu-
lar. The Negro problem will be the
core of discussion. The struggle for
equal rights for the Negro masses, the
right for self determination of the
Negroes in the black belt, the ma
tional question in Haiti, Porto Rico,
ETC., will be thoroughly elucidated.
