But the gigantic fact that Soviet

admits "The Bolsheviks have con-

shows the Russian workers are cap

LESS JOBS EVERY
DAY,SAYSRYBICKI
FUTURE Is BLACK
Survey Of Is Industries
Shows No Jobs

NEW YORK.-Each time survey
is made of the employment situation
in New York it is found worse. A few
days after he said jobs were dropping
all the time, Edward C. Rybicki, head
of the City Free Employment Bureau
was forced to issue another statement
showing things getting blacker for
the unemployed. After survey of
Is industries in New York, by field
men working under Rybicki's direc-
ton he said that in those industries
at least employment was at stand
still, with no prospects for a change
in the immediate future"
The industries surveyed ranged
from slipper making to shipping. Ry-
bicki's survey was made to find out
what the chances were to get jobs for
the tens of thousands who have re-
giStered with the fake city agency.
During the past two weeks, Rybicki
said, jobs were dropping alarmingly,
Full-tine jobs are out of the question,
Rybicki is appealing for any part-time
low-wage jobs to keep the workers
from fighting for relief.
On the same day Rybicki issued his
gloomy statement for the unemployed

istration let it be known that there
viii be 4700 applicants for 500 teach

er is suffering due to the crisis. School
teachers are feeling unemployment
now.
The talk about improvement" in
business is effectively smashed even
by the fake surveys made by the ca
pitalist lackeys. The future will bring
worse conditions for the unemployed.
The fight for immediate relief must
be speeded, as we have the admission
of the city government that jobs are
not available, and in fact. get scarcer
all the time. The situation in New
York is representative of the country
as whole.

The campaign for International

same is true of Paterson. In New
ARK, the campaign is centered in the
Negro sections. In Elizabeth the
activities are developing on a larger
scale than ever before. In New
Brunswick, the campaign is develop

Chief Quirk in desperate attempt

the chief and his cops began to push

The workers marched down War

where they were fed by the Local
Unemployed Council and the

500 Tailors Strike.
Five hundred tailors in the 'GGG'
shop in Brooklyn, influenced 10y the
success the striking dressnakers
have achieved, walked out yesterday
and declared they would stay out
until they won real union condi-
tons. Most of the tailorS are mem
bers of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers, a company union which
they accuse of working hand in hand
with their employer to cut wages
and introduce the most brutal sort
of speed-up systems.
Although the $4,000 Dress Strike
Fund is being well supported by
many Working-clas organizations,
the N. T. w. I. U. urges that every
workers organization put the matter
OF supporting the strike FUND on it's
business program and work actively
in its support. A second United

would put aside certain portion of
their salaries every week for the
benefit of the fund. They also COL
