DRAW NEW MASSES INTO ORGANIZED
FIGHT FOR UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE,

Bluffs. Iowa., q simultaneous dem
onstration in the form Of a hunger
march took place. In fact this is
the first time in their history that
any kind of a demonstration took
place.
In Omaha the march started at
10.15 a. m, after John Dawson, Com
munist organizer talked for about
fifteen minutes to tell the reason for
the demonstration.
The march was led by a committee
of three from the Unemployed Coun-
Gil of the TUUL. This committee
consisted of E. L. Schlekau, acting
secretary Of the TUUL, Comrade
Alexander, acting secretary of the
Council Of the Unemployed, and
Comrade Joe Sitka, Obrera agent
About 1000 took part in the DEM
onstration, and Comrade Schlekau
presented the demands to the mayor
and as could be expected when it
came to the appropriation of funds
for the unemployed this was fatty
refused.
The parade then went back to the
center where 81 new members joined
the Unemployed Council.
In Council Bluffs, Iowa, the dem
onstration started at about the same
hour. 1t was led by Frank Fiigne,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-02-28

VIM. Patton, and Arthur Mari. The
demonstration was very militant and
the mayor saw fit to have a police
bodyguard. The comrades all thought
il was a good joke and told the
mayor that he had nothing to fear as
long as he would make some attempt
to remedy the situation. He told
them that he had opened for their
benefit free employment office
(where there are no jobs and made
a guarantee the same as the mayor
of Omaha did that there would be
no evictions or cutting off of the
water if the cases were brought to
his attention, They also promised to
do everything in their power TO stop
the cutting off of gas and electric
light.
These pledges we intend to hold
both of them-and to keep on dem
onstrating for the others until we
gain all of our demands.
There was also a demonstration
in Sioux City, Iowa, from which place
have rot card as yet, but from
what saw of the bunch down there
Sunday, believe it will be a good
one as their demands are similar
and they seem to be very militant
bunch.

5000 at City Hall In Kansas
City Police Out Full Force

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. 26.--The
Feb. Is action of the Kansas City
unemployed started from two prole-
tartan sections, 18th and Paseo and
goth and Holly, in the form Of
marching columns Of workers carry
ing banners. These columns came
together at 18th and Main and then
marched right down the main bust
ness thoroughfare of town-Main
ST., to the City Hall Tens of thou
sands Of Kansas City people in the
dense shopping area saw, for the
first time, Communist slogans call
ing for Defense of the Soviet Union,
Unity of Negro and White Workers,
Struggle Against Speed-Up and
Wage Cuts, Against Imperialist War
Preparations, etc.
BY the time the parade reached
the City Hall at least 5000 were
gathered together, completely cover
ing the sidewalks and streets. The
police department was mustered out
full force, but made no effort to dis
perse the throng.
Comrade Paul Cline, district or
ganizer of the Communist Party,
mounted window ledge of the City
Hall and addressed the crowd.
After Cline's speech a committee
was sent into the City Hall to press

the demands before the City Man
ager. The crowd was then called
upon to march to a nearby small
park for further speaking and or
ganizational purposes. At the park,
Negro, Mexican, T. u. u. L. and
youth speakers addressed the crowd
which numbered over 5000. Litera-
ture was sold and hundreds of ap-
plicantions for the Unemployed
Council we're taken.
jeff Allen, spokesman Of the IN
employed Committee, reported on
the answer of the city government,
stating that this answer consisted of
a hypocritical and crude effort to
bride the committee members, by
offering them Jobs. Allen told the
crowd that he had demanded jobs
or relief for the thousands of unem-
ployed in Kansas City and not
merely for himself.
The crowd pledged itself to follow
the lead of the Communist Party
and the Unemployed Councils in q
militant struggle for unemployed re-
lief, both on the basis Of the local
demands and the national Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill.
An outstanding feature Of the
demonstration was the large number
of Negro workers who took part.
