mist Party has issued call for a wo-
mems Election Conference, Saturday,

Irving Place and 18th st. The wo-
mems Department. in the call urged
all working class women's organiza-
tions and shop groups to elect dele

methods and means Of organizing
working class women for support Of
the demands for immediate unem-
ployed relief, for no evictions. for free
electricity, gas and milk for unem-
ployed families and special demands
for women. Stress will be laid upon
the fact that the 100000 unemployed
women and girls in the city received
the most inadequate attention even
from the capitalist charity agencies,
and that the demands for those wo-
men must be presented to the city.
The Trade Union Unity League has
endorsed the Women's Election Con-
ference and urged all its affiliated
leagues, unions and fraternal organ
izations to send women's delegates to
the conference and draw in then

mayor replied that men went to war
out of patriotic motives"
. ooh, yes" said Harper rs it
patriotic to starve? Is it patriotic
to build armories and then not allow
the veterans to sleep in them"
The mayor, in order to evade the
issue, promised to put the veterans
on the calendar again at an early
date and to consider the demand that
the city government go on record for
immediate payment Of the bonus.
The mass pressure Of the vets, how
ever, is directly responsible for the
fact that the Board of Estimate re-
luctantly appropriated 100000 to
be added to the city's unemployment
relief fund. which. although a paltry
sum considering the 100000 jobless
in New York City. is at least a point
won. The workers must now demand
that this fund be disbursed by
workers committees and not Tam
many grafters.
The veterans committee was COM
posed OF P. Conato, chairman. E.
Levine, Sol Harper. Ted Boyrton, Fl.
Fisher, A. Rocco, P. Messbaum and
D. Ayignor.

the Legion's betrayal of the vets at

went on record against the imme-

the name of the vets the committee
demanded that all relief funds be
turned over TO a rank anc file com
nnittee elected by the rank and file

Mayor Walker in answering this
stated that it was not the duty Of
the city to arrange for an equitable

the mayor. He pointed out that
