Brown Squires, introduced by Chair

during the last war, but who was now
fighting for the working class" tolo
of narrowing conditions among the
Negroes of Chicago and called for a
united fight for unemployment in
surance and everybody joining in the
collection of signatures on petitions
for insurance. Large numbers of Ne
groes attended.
Otto Wangerin, prominent trade

boss controlled candidates and called
upon all workers to support the only
working-class party and help collect

the Communist candidates on the

The local demands stressed by
Wangerin included:

size of family.
90 No evictions to take place.

Jersey City, with one of the most
valuable waterfronts in the world,
owns only one pier, the others having
been given to the various railroads
for negligible sum. On this pier
are conducted two activities, the pro-
ceeds of which have helped Hague
buy castle in Ireland, chateau in
southern France and the largest
apartment house in New Jersey. One
of these activities is the smuggling of
drugs, one OF the most important in
dustries in Jersey City and controlled
almost entirely by Hague. The other
is what is called "a loading racket"
When ship docks at the Jersey
City pier no truckman who has
not made a previous arrangement
with Hague can unload its cargo.
The arrangement calls for the pay
ment to Hague of three cents for
every hundred pounds of freight
that is c. Il from the pier--and
the ships are large ocean liners.
The man who collects this tribute
is an inspector in the Jersey City
police department, hard boiled,

"fee" in this case is good deal
