Second Blood Splitting

NEW YORK.-This is the second
time within a short period that the
Czech police have spilled the blood
Of the unemployed. Late last year
a demonstration of unemployed was
attacked by police. They wantonly
shot down and murdered several un-
employed workers.
Among the dead in the latest
slaughter of the jobless and hunger
workers was an aged women and
16-year old girl. Both were march
ing to Friewaldau to demand bread
to keep them alive,
Capitalist press cables from Prague
say the hunger march was mass
response to the call of the Czech
Communist Party to participate in a
demand for relief. Workers employed
and unemployed took part. The
march was started along eleven roads.
The police were given orders to stop
the hunger march at all costs. Every
road was blocked. But the workers
climbed fences and cut thru fields.
Exasperated at this determination
of the workers the bloodthirsty po-
lice chief JirkoVsky gave the order
to open fire point blank at the work

Repeat M'DOnald
Act In Australia

NEW YORK.-The Labor Govern
ment of Australia, headed by Prime
Minister J. H Scullin, is preparing
to do in Australia what Mcdonald
did in England namely, to build-up
an anti-working class government
under a Nationalist" front. The
Scullin Labor Government was de-
feated in the Commonwealth Parlia-
ment by a vote of 81 to 80.
A general election is being called
for December 10, and Scullin will taxa
up fight against the unemployed
and against "Bolshevism."
A whole series of strikes have been
developing in Australia against wage
cuts. Unemployment is growing and
along with starvation of the masses.
Scullin has been helping the bosses
cut down unemployment relief, just
as Mcdonald did in England.
Among the workers there is a grow
ing mood Of struggle. This is shown
in the recent mine and rail strike in
the state Of Queensland. 1t is more
strikingly shown in the request OF
the Australian railroad unions for
for admission into the Red Interna-
tional of Labor Unions.

The New York Evening Post, in so
many words, admitted Mayor Walker
was not trying to free Mooney at all,
but was using the Mooney case to
handle the unemployed"
In true Tammany style, Mayor
Walker visited MONEYS mother, pat
ted her on the back, posing for pic
lures with Mrs. Mooney The STAGE
setting was carefully laid out in order
to give it a movie plot atmosphere
and cover up the vicious frame-up
system Of the San Francisco capital
lists that has kept Mooney buried in
prison for Is years.
The main drama is set for Tues
day morning at the State Building
where Governor Rolph has arranged
for an open hearing. 1t is here that

the injustice Of MONEYS imprison-
ment, and at the same time do their
best to cover up the real reasons for

Mooney case out of its connection
with the mass struggles Of the work

TAX assessors 10 reduce their assess
ment to rediculously low figures,
thus making the way for greater
profits.
1t is reported that the applicants
for jobs are questioned strictly
regarding present and former union
affiliations and If it is found that
the workers are now or ever have
been, union members the mill man
agement refuses to employ them.
Old looms are being strapped and
it is reported that a hundred new
automatic are being installed and one
weaver must operate four looms.
A vicious Speed-up throughout the
mill is anticipated. Much of the work
is coming from Assabet Mill at May
nard, Mass, mill owned by the
same company which was closed be-
cause the workers refused to do the
scab work which the American
WOODEN Mill sent from the Lawrence
strike area
One result of the absurd reduction
in property valuation granted to this
company by the local assessors will
be q rise in either the property val
uation or taxes on other property in
this town owned by small home
owners and farmers. This is a matter
that many local citizens are not con-
sidcring when they rejoiccd at the
reopening of the industry.

Bankers, Socialists, A.F.ofL.
Takers Back Walker Trickery

NEW YORK. - With House of
Morgan bankers and strikebreahng
officials of the American Federation
of Labor assisting him, Mayor Walk
er is laying out his plans to use the
Mooney case against other class war
prisoners and against the mem-
ployed.
Walker on his arrival in San Fran
cisco held a secret conference with
Governor Rolph in which the two
cooked up the best method Of using
the Mooney issue against the workers.
The Daily Worker has already pub
lished proof which shows there is a
lineup behind Walker reaching
reaching from Morris Hillquit, rich
Socialist lawyer, up to the firm Of
J. P, Morgan, through H. H. Crom-
well, an associate of the International
banker All think alike on the
issue-that is, all believe they can
use the plea for MONEYS release
to keep back the growing mass
struggles for Moneys release.
The capitalists and their socialist
aids, know that the struggles for
Moonyes release proceeds with the
demand for unemployment relief and
forthe release Of thousands Of other
workers framed-up in the same fash
ion that Mooney was.

Bosses Take Away the
Last Cent Of Workers
for Their Relief"

MCKEESPORT, Pa, Nov. 26.-Daily
large sums of money are donated for
the Allegheny County Emergency
Association, a bosses relief outfit. The
name of the firm is always listed.
But this does not nislead the workers
into believing that the company is
being generous. They know better.
At the American Tin Plate workers
here, every worker, regardless whether
he works one or two days a week, was
forced to pay $40 to the fund. Where
the pay amounted to that, it was sim
ply taken by the coEpanys office,
and the worker was sent home empty
handed, to starye.
Westinghouse is subtracting one
per cent of each months pay from
every worker. The Blawnox Steel
plant demands (and sees that it gets
it through very direct actionD three
full days pay. And many workers
here are making less than that in
two weeks.
Those workers who go to the We'll
fare Department and asking for relief
for their families, as described at the
unemployed meeting here, the ire

getting enough food to last one day,

Two weeks ago, the police and fire

Tickets were sold far and wide and
the bleachers were janmed with cash
customers. The proceeds, it was adj
vertised, would go to the most needy
cases.
Since that time, scores of both,
Negro and white workers, have gone
to demand relief. Not a penny has
been forthcoming yet for the unem-

ers. Nine Immediately sank to the
ground dead. Fifteen others were
seriously wounded, and many of these
are near death.
In the Czech Parliament, report the
capitalist press, the Communist Par
ty raised a stormy scene denouncing
the deliberate murder of the unem-
ployed and women and children. The
socialist" deputies, who heretofore
have always aided the capitalists
against the unemployed movement,
were forced by events to humble
words of protest The Fascist deputy
Striberny, when he tried to defend
the murder Of the unemployed, was
taken by the throat and hurled from
the speakers rostrum. One Commun-
ist Deputy, Vallo, was elected for
protesting against the murder.
Unemployment has been growing
rapidly i'll Czechoslovakia, there be-
ing between 100000 to 100000 out
of work in this comparatively small
country. Only IS per cent Of these
get any form of regular relief, and
the hunger march was started be-
cause even this miserable relief was
being cut down. Only a selected few
belonging to the trade unions are
paid unemployment insurance. The
Communist Party Of CzechosloYaliia
has been at the head of the unem-
ployed movement and has been able
to organize from 100000 to 100000 of
the unemployed in Unemployed Coun-
ellis.
