Sign Hoover Hotel"
Sedition Says Mayor
Cermak of Chicago

CHICAGO, Ill.-Mayor Cerniak
hates the truth. His instincts of
patriotism were, outraged yester-
day when it was called to his at
tention that unemployed homeless
workers frequenting the old Crimi-
nal Courts Building and county
Jail, transformed into a shelter, had
tackled a sign over the door read
ing: Hoover Hotel"
The mayor apparently associated
this legend with old campaign war
cries of Hoover for Prosperity"
and considered it a backhanded
slap.
'T regard this as an insult to our
president and an indication of dis
loyalty to our country" he observed
in statement. Such conduct, in
my opinion, tends to promote Sc
dition and Communism. The city
and organized charities are willing
to feed and lodge the homeless who
are orderly and gentIemanIy, but
we have jaiIs for the unlawful and
disrespectfuI." BY which he means
that those who will not fight will
starve and those who do fight will
be jailed.

AMERICAN LEGION PREPARES TO
ATTACK MILITANT WORKERS

The American Legion will be used
by the capitalist class in the coming
winter in order to suppress the mill
fancy of the working masses. This
was openly stated by Commander
O'Neil of the Legion, Monday, at the
opening of the American Legion con-
ference on unemployment in Wash
ington. The situation at the present
time is similar to that in 1917, said
O'Neil, and in this present situation
the war on the workers-the Amer
lean Legion should be used by the
capitalist class.
'The power of the American Lee
gion should be used in remedying
the present conditions" Command
err O'Neil said. "The unemployment
situation presents an emergency
comparable to that Of 1917, and our
membership will function again"
In the capitalist attack on the
workers the American Legion will be
used especially against the leading
organs of the working class, against
the Unemployed Councils, the revo-
lutionary unions and against the
Communist Party. The Legion will
try, by attacking these revolutionary
organizations of the working class,
to deprive the workers of leadership
in the struggles against wage cuts
and for immediate relief and unem-
ployment insurance in the coming
winter.
This was stated openly by ONeil
as follows:
unrest and fear are abroad in
the land, and the ranks of the I'M
employed are fertile fields for the
faIIacies Of communism.
"Tawlessness and communism are
more direct threat to the integ-
rity of the government which we
are pledged to maintain than was
the threat of autocracy In 1917.
Work must be found for those who

LUMBER MILLS
SLASH WAGES
STILL FURTHER
Disease Spreading in
Grays Harbor Cities
From Malnutrition
BY w. H. H.

ABERDEEN, Wash, Sept. 15-
Conditions are getting worse steadily.
Every day brings more people to the
County Charity Office. Undernour-
ishment is written on the faces of
hundreds. The hospitals are being
filled by workers with diseases caused
by malnutrition. Here is an example.
A Mrs. Mccoy, whose husband is a
member Of the Unemployed Council,
was suddenly taken i'll. A doctor was
called who pronounced OF a dicease
of the gall bladder caused by under
nourishment He ordered the patient
to the hospital, saying this is the
18th case of this kind that had sent
him there on this day.
Along with this starvation, along
with the disease comes more wage cuts
more lay-offs which are sure signs
of terrific suffering during the COM
ing winter for the workers of the
Grays Harbor cities.
The Bay City Mill which had been
closed for three weeks started up with
wage cut of so cents a day. This
brings the minimum to 50 day. This,
with driving the workers at q break
neck speed is the only way that the
employers can see to meet the fail
ing demand for lumber and still reap
profits
At the Schafer Mill No. 4 one Of
the workers who had worked for this
outfit for several years was told that
he should take a physical test. This
worker thought this would be alright
as he was feeling physically fit. He
went before the doctor and was ex-
anined. The doctor found that his
teth needed treatment before he
could work any more. The real rea-
son for his teeth needing to be fixed
was that he was receiving over SO
per day and a man was put in his
place at a greatly reduced wage.
The Unemployed Council must ex-
pose all such cases as this. Many of
our members are new and are afraid
that it might hurt them if they show
class struggle. But the question that
they should ask themselves is: What
more can the boss class do to us than
it already has2 Let's fight, not
starved
