home from the strike meeting with

Free speech, American style, is

SHOUTS OF THRONG ON
STREETS EMPHASIZE
SPEECH OF COMMITTEE
Call On GARD of Aldermen to Include In Huge
Budget $2OO,OOOOOO Winter Relief
March Back to Union Square; Hear Report
That Aldermen Agree Only to Consider"

NEW YORK. 49, What the capitalist
press and police say, is the biggest Of
all the unemployment demonstrations
at the City Hall took place yesterday
afternoon, when 1000 of unemployed
workers, led by the various branches
of the Unemployed Councils, con-
verged on it, and we're joined by seven
or eight thousand worker spectators
from down town. The combined pro-
cession tramped around and around
the sidewalks, with police barring all
approaches, and cops standing in a
line through which a sparrow could
rot have found an opening, across
the front porch of the Tammany Of
hcialdom.
The police we're so afraid that the
hungry desperate jobless would crash
that line through, that they had the
staircase choked with a solid body of
uniformed thugs inside the building.
They had riot cars and mounted po-
lice massed up side streets and be-
tween buildings.
Demands Placed
A committee of six, four men and
two women, with Carl Winter and
Robert Lealess as spokesman, went in
TO tell the board of aldermen that the
unemployed wanted $2oO,OO0,OO0 ap-
propriated in the city budget then I'M
der discussion, for winter relief of
the unemployed, and wanted no evic-
tons, no cutting off of gas, light or
heat; wanted free hot lunches for
school children, and other things to
save the lives of the million jobless
here.
The budget proposes a bare ST.
672,Oc0 for the jobless, out Of S63l,-
C09.OOo total appropriations for 1882,
and has arranged it so that charity
overhead and contractors will get the
most of what is set aside for the un-
Employed.
Winters and Lsaless pounded home
these facts. and showing how this
money could be found by cutting off
the s1e9, 9e9, 999 now slated for bank
ere, the S62,oo0000 handed over to
the police, and by cutting Mr.. Jimmy
Walkers $4,000 salary to 5000, with
similar reductions in other bloated
salaries of city officials.
They had trouble getting the floor,
BIT they get it. Lealess, who was one

ing the demands, and resolution
adopted supporting the demands at
the City Labor Conference on Sun
day, the shouts of the marching un-
employed came in. The slogans they
we're shouting were for unemploy-
ment insurance, for winter relief,
against evictions, chimed in and re-
inforced the statements of Winter
and Lealess in quite a satisfactory
fashion. They could be heard plainly
in the aldermanic chamber and the
fat boys of Tammany misrule kept
running to the windows and looking
anxiously out.
The board of aldermen was going
right on without giving an answer to
the jobless committee, but Winter
stopped the capitalist who got on the
floor next and insisted on an answer.
After an argument, the president OF
the board said the demand would be
considered"
Try to Gang up

room. A squad of cops with their
caps and coats off invited the two

Winter was lifted up and called all

and Fourth Avenue, was twice as big
as the one downtown. They marched,
filling the street from surb to surb,
and hundreds working in shops along
the way leaned out of windows to
cheer them and shower them with
confetti made of torn paper.

Joint Council of AT of L Fur

Council Elected By Big Vote In Opposition to
Official Dictatorship; Repudiates Loans by
Which Clique Tries to Finance Thugs

NEW YORK. = The new Joint
Council of the International Fur
Workers, elected by 1880 votes, has
appealed to the members of all
unions to have nothing to do With
the latest scheme worked out by
kaufman, and the misleaders of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers, the Cap g. Millinery Workers,
and the Workmen's Circle. The
Joint Council has called for unity
negotiations with the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union fur de-
partment, and the N. T. w. I. U. has
accepted
Kaufman, president of the Fur
Workers, met with Dubinsky, zarit-
sky, Spector, Baskin and others and
decided to issue an appeal in the
press for donations to finance them
selves. The new Fur Workers Joint
Council, regularly elected, warns
that these funds will be used to hire
Willie Yacker, Heavy weight Stein
berg, Tommy Levy, Jewelry-baby
Alex Fried and other highly paid
gangsters TO attack the needle
workers.
Repudiates Kaufman Loan.
The Joint Council warns that it
will not be responsible for any money
loaned Kaufman and his clique, and
will refuse to repay it. The appeal
of the Joint Council reminds the
needle workers how the 40 hour week
and union conditions were once won
in New York, and how the sell-out
policies of the officials have smashed
those conditions, with the assistance
of McGrady, the Socialist Party and
hired gangsters and the bosses.
The appeal ends: Fellow workers,
support the furriers! Help the duly
elected joint council drive out the
Kaufmans and their paid gangsters!
Assist us to build up a powerful
United Front to establish one class
struggle union which will be mighty
weapon in the hands of the fur work.

Call For Unity.
From this same Joint Council, the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union, Fur Department, has just re-
ceived letter, describing the above
situation, and inviting the N. T. w.
I. U. fur department to appoint a
committee to discuss the formation
of single militant union, free of
inisieaders, in the fur trades.
The Joint Councils letter to the N.
t. w. 1. U. refers to the sabotage by
Kaufman and Stetsky of the unity
movement few weeks ago, and
states:
1.-THE vote (by which the present
Joint Council was elected was a
complete rejection of the policy of
Kaufman and Stetsky, of fake man
euvers, or clique boss and gangster
rule, that brought about the an
Inhalation of the conditions achieved
by the furriers in 1926.

the establishment of one powerful

the workers at Webster Hall we can
re-establish the conditions that were
destroyed by the bosses with the as
