ing which, of course, would have
been thrown into the waste basket.
When they refused to do this and
insisted on speaking and the admis-
sion of the delegation of IS into the
hall, they were efficiently eliminated
with the help of Mike Mills of the
Red squad, who with a large detach-
ment of dicks and cops acted as mas
ter OF ceremonies.
After throwing bouquets at each
other and stating d. according to
President Hoover illinois led the
other states in relief work" and ex-
pressing their love" towards the
working people and their tremer-
dous appreciation for the unseliisA
services of the capitalists, the confer
ence began to discuss brass tacks. To
be sure they did not discuss very
much. Mayor Cermak suggested an
honor tax Of l per cent to be given
-oluntarily by all business men anS
'acCories, on all goods sold on one
lay a week for 20 weeks. NotwitIl-
standing what honor means amou~
thieves, this would raise, accordin-
to we'll fed Cermak, $5,000,0O0 Both
he and Governor Enmerson recog-
nized that those who were forced to
give last year will not give this year.
Another decision made which win
again not feed the unemployed, was
TO make the commits ion sSa5e-widl
agency for distribution with q city
organization headed b. NJ. Ryerson.
TO raise money for relief" in Chica-
co. The first statement OF M. Pyer-
son vas that relief will only be given
to Chicago workers. In other words.
only those who can prove their resi-
dence in the city for years. O,he-s
will be driven out of town, including
he thousands of Negro workers
brought from the South.
The Unemployed Councils exposed
a long time ago this fake scheme OF
E.nmerson and Cermak and other
boss tools, The call Issued for the
Cook Countrywide Conference to be
held on September 10 and distributed
in $4,000 copies points out that they
raised last winter S. 900, 900, not from
the capitalists pockets, but by forced
contributions from the workers in the
factories, who have been receiving
starvation wages. A good part of this
money went to professional Charity
workers who are making q good liv-
ing out OF the misery of the unem,
ployed."
"The Unemployed Council calls Or
all workers to refuse to give money
to this charity relief racket, to re-
fuse to accept thu additional burden
of supporting the unemployed. Re.
sponsibility for unemployment lies on
the capitalist class and its govern
ment, and employed and unemployed
workers must unite to get unemploy-
ment insurance and relief from the
capitalist class"
