PITTSBURGH, Pa. Nov. 23.--At the very gate
of the huge Byers Steel plant on the South
Side in Pittsburgh, over a hundred workers
gathered for a public hearing on unemployment
called by the Unmployed Councils In the hall
a small block from the plant, police arrived just
as Ben Bernard was about to prefer charges
against those responsible for the intense hunger
and suffering Negro and white men and women,
young and old we're there to testify about their
own conditions, .

The lieutenant dragged the drunk into small
room.

detective snarled
You better go slowl You'll get yourself in

saying.
A few minutes later, a black maria" drew up
IN front of the hall the workers we're told that
there would be meeting because no permit
had been obtained, and five additional workers
carried off in the wagon. They we're charged
with violating a city ordinance, but were re-
leased the next morning.
This is the first meeting of this size ever at

steel bosses are taking no chances.
But the workers have learned that there is
only one way to smash the terror-through mass
organization and mass protest. This they

DULUTH. Mimi. Nov. 23.-Despite a tremen-
dous downpour of rain several hundred workers
filled Camels Hall in Duluth to participate in
the Open Hearing called by the Unemployed
Councils. Many workers who had signified their
intention of coming to the hearing in order to
testify, along with their families, could not be
present due to the inclement weather. The fact
that they did not have the necessary clothing to
withstand the stormy weather, kept them at
home in order to avoid illness. Added to this
was the fact that lack of fuel at home and lack
of nourishment would have brought illness.
When ]. Cogan chairman of the meeting,
called upon the workers to testify, worker after
worker rose and told of the misery and suffer-
ing that they have to undergo daily, and of the
treatment that they receive at the hands of the
So-called relief bodies.

Providence Will not Provide

LIE caplGanSCs frequently get away with mur-
der by killing you in strictly polite way And
while we're no fan for etiquette still it seems
that sometime our comrades might manage to
be little comradely, even when engaged in the
gentle art of looting the Party for the Party's
good.
An outraged comrade of Providence who I'M
derstands all about the need for trade Union
work and the necessity of helping the Textile
Union, nevertheless objects at being subjected
to raid by the union organizers who descended
IN force on the Party and League office used
everything and everybody in sight and marched
OFF with some dollars worth of stationery with
out as much as beg your pardon" In fact
in manner described as "bulldozing"
Why all this air of conquest? And In the same
mail letters from three comrades of the seeming
rude-to say the least-behayior of members in
the Providence branch of the International
Workers Order. toward the unemployed whose
headquarters in the Workers Center was de-
slfeo Tor the evening by the l. w. o. Jewish
banch for a banquet for the Hammer"
How does it look when several of the unen,-
poyed about the place, after helping to arrange
tables, chairs, ETC., spoken to insultnely by
prosperous matrons who arrive later and sniff
at the unemployed and their poor clothes?
Especially when some OF these velyety ladies are
known to be wives Of Party members!
What are these unemployed to think when
they are affronted by someone they identity with
the Party and then hear them sing the Inter-
rationale? Well-fed Anna K and Kate, you
may feel uncomfortable in the presence OF hun
gry ragged workers, but do you have to insult
them? Do you think that you will get away
with such things when you go to the Soviet
Union in the spring." Kate, as ranting about
Grabbing off us, hey?" Not If we know Soviet
workers
Another letter on the same incident, invites
one and all who are cast out of the Workers
Center at II Richmond st. to come to "the in
dustrial Kremlin" at 1755 Westminster st. But
our idea is that the Workers Center must be
made center for workers, banquet or no BAN

sion was made by Rep. r. M. Hub

Rep. Phil Sanders OF Nacogdochss
was presiding as speaker. He put his
200 pounds behind a swing Of the
gavel and broke its handle, the
heavy wooden mallet flying back al
most into the face Of Mr.. Hubbard,
who was sitting beside the speaker.
Mr.. Hubbard reached UP and caught

end Of the broken handle punctured
his hand.

bers already are discussing plans for
gradually equipping the mansion
with suitable and harmonious fur
nishings and art material. Lack Of
money win cause the work to be
carried on slowly.
This column here announces that
II Atty. Gen. James ". Alfred be-
comes a candidate for governor IN
next years race, as intimated in
North Texas announcement by his
friends. Rep. Victor B. Gilbert Of
Cisco will be a candidate for attor-
ney general.
Mr.. Gilbert has a distinguished
record In the h1use. He served in
one session as chairman Of the COM
mittee on revenue and taxation. he
has held real leadership throughout
his legislative service. He is widely
known in West Texas as an able
lawyer and through his career as a
lawmaker has come TO be known
throughout the state. East Texas
colleagues are among those most
enthusiastically supporting his pros
pective candidacy for attorney gen.
eral.
Whether or not Mr.. Alfred be-
comes a candidate for governor has
depended up to the present on
whether or not Gov. Sterling asks
a second term but the presumption
has been considerably in favor OF his
presence In the race through the
belief that Gov. Sterling viii have
wearied OF the office before the end
of a first term . Now 1t NAV be
that events are shaping themselves
to put Mr.. Alfred into the -are
whether or not Gov. Sterling Is a
candidate for reelection.
1t is not improbable that events
will be going on in the next few
weeks that will be more significant
in determining the next occupant Of
the governors chair than all the
hurly-burly Of campaign oratory
next summer.
