Swinging the buorgeois women into

ference on National Defense launched
vicious attack against the Soviet
Union at their closing sessions.
Two resolutions we're adopted
pledging support of the Fish report.
The chief address by F. T. Dawson,
Assistant Secretary of War was fol-
lowed by resolution demanding
naval armament to the hilt. Res
rs demanding spread of mill
tary training in schools and summer
camps were adopted.
The jingoists were conspiciously
silent on the huge mass unemploy-
ment and starvation thruout the
country.

may be ascribed to many of the
claims of one Prof. Oberth who is
experimenting with rockets especially
for war purposes the interest he is
arousing indicates the development of
poison gases as war weapon. Oberth
claims TINT all war departments of
capitalist Europe are watching his

linois is considered the second richest
county in the U. S. A. But that
means very little to we who toll for
life. The value of this county, is
pointed to by some workers with
pride, but we who see beyond our
belly, know that this wealth means
nothing to us,
One Fourth JObIeSS.
I would judge that there are 1000
unemployed here out Of about 1900
workers. Conditions are bad in most
all shops and small business. The
Meadows plant where 300 are work.
ing, is only working one and two days
week and wages have been cut
about As per cent. 1 guess we are too
far west to have known anything
about the President and his commits
sion that ask all heads Of big bust
ness not to cut wages nor lay off
any men. Well the dam capitalist
system becomes worse and worse for
the masses to live under and the day
is not far off when those fools who
think they are a part of the all
mighty will be taken care of by the
workers.
A new post office is being built
here. The wages we're to be so cents
an hour. Men some 300 strong await
ed long hours to get Job and then
they employed only eight men at IS
cents an hour. We are not going to
stand for this kind of a dealing much
longer. The boss on the job at the
post office makes the men do twice
the work they should do and they
have been out of work SO long and
there families have been without food
and fuel, the men accept all this, but
when you talk to them they say, hell
we would join anything If we knew
we could win.
It's coming and soon. Even in the
richest part of the farm land of the
q. S. A. there is poverty and want
and our minds are beginning to see
that something must be done and
the unemployed are talking of doing
the Oklahoma and Arkansas act If
there is not some change soon and we
know that there is no chance for
anything to come but more suffering
to the workers. For these in control
have no feelings for there fellow
kind. All they want is wealth and
more wealth. And hope to hell
they don't give the workers anything
so they viii rise up and go Soviet.
When the next war comes, you
depend on some SO workers at least
not joining the band, to help the ex-
ploiters, but to fight to make the
United States Soviet of the earth

March On Texas Capital.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, FEB. "A
statewide hunger march on Austin,
the capital of Texas, is planned for
February 10th. The capitalist press
throughout the state, and particu-
larry in San Antonio, has been giving
this proposed march tremendous
amount of publicity. Governor Ross
Sterling has come out with a hypo-
critical gesture about welcoming"
the jobless workers to the capital.
This welcome will probably take the
form of black-jacks and tear-gas
bombs, when Sterling finds that the
unemployed will not be fooled by his
polite phrases and excuses, but will
militantly demand immediate relief.
Delegations from Galveston, Dali
las, Houston, San Antonio, Ell Reno,
Corpus Christi, are expected to take
part in the march.
Word has been received here that
bread riots have started in Ell Paso,
and delegations are being sent from
San Antonio to organize these Ell
Paso starving.
Circulars issued by the Trade Union
Unity League, point out that every
city in Texas is full of jabless, that
poor farmers are being dispossessed
daily, and calsl for united struggle,
and a statewide hunger march, with
banners, and demand on the legis-
lature and local governments for cash
relief to the amount of SIS per week
for each man unemployed; cancella-
ton of debts and mortgages, abol-
ton of vsgrancy laws and chain
gangs, etc.
