ers. The answer of the strikers must
be more determined struggle, more
militant picket lines, still greater
fighting spirit against the bosses and
their agents, the cops and the UTW-
Associated takers.
In sentencing the sixteen workers
last week with no Jail alternative the
judge stated that he would be more
strict in the future, indicating that
the court, like the police, will attack
the workers more viciously. The in
creased brutality on the part of the
bosses agents is due to the fact that
the militancy Of the workers is hold
ing the picket lines against them and
for decent conditions.
The judge threatened that he
would give sentences up TO year in
Jail and increase the fines to SITS
under the disorderly conduct statute.
BY his question at the trial about the
R1LU, Communism, ETC., the judge
tried to make the workers believe
that the struggle is not one for bet
ter conditions. The workers Of Pat
erson know that the Communists
have been the most militant fight
ers on the picket line and in the or
ganization of the strike.

held to consider a proposal for a
s20o0O,OOO appropriation for reliev-
ing the unemployed Of this city, a
delegation from the Unemployed
Councils of Greater New York pre-
scented the demands of the unem-
ployed workers themselves.
The $200o0,OOO proposal was put
off for an executive session OF the
Board, and instead 100000 was
voted for unemployment relief which
had already been authorized by the
State authorities. None Of this
money is for direct cash relief, but
is supposedly to be paid out to IN
employed workers on the So a day
park jobs.
Milton Stone, speaking for the
delegation, pointed out that $40 OO0,-
600 will hardly be a drop in the
bucket as far as actual relief is con-
cerned. since there are over 100000
unemployed i'll New York He told
the politicians on the bench and
those gathered in the room that
there are $500 evictions every week

if anyone in the room wanted proof
of this he had with him many names
of such cases. None of the grafterS

well how the courts are carrying out

Clarence Silverman, also of the
delegation, then took the floor and
pointed out that various Jewish,
Catholic, and other religious chart
table organizations (Salvation Army,
etc. collect millions of dollars every
year in the name of the unemployed,
but that very little of this money
actually reaches the unemployed,
most OF it going into the pockets of
