See for Yourself

Take few of the satin Lux diamonds in
one hand-any ordinary flakes or chips
in the other. Even with the naked eye
you can see how much finer Lux is.
While the coarser, ordinary flakes
cleanse, they too often roughen fibers
and steal away some of the color. Lux
never fades colors, never turns white
silks yellow. Anything safe in water
alone is just as safe in Lux.

New Brunswick has tripled its
quota of marchers, the unemployed
workers participating in all the work
of the unemployed council, calling
meetings, factory gate and open air
demonstrations, visiting organizations
for donations for the march, collect
ing money and food and arranging
for shelter for the marchers that will
come from the other cities of N. j.
Perth Amboy has also doubled its
quota of marchers. The unemployed
council is arranging to call two open
air meetings, in the following week
besides the Feb. % demonstration.
Fill The Quota.
Elizabeth is Spes0AIg up its final
preparations for the march. Here
too, the quota of marchers has been
filled. The relief committee, consist
ing of workers from the Unemployed
Council and all working class organ
izations, is collecting money and food
for the marchers.
The Newark Unemployed Council
although it has not as yet filled its
quota of marchers, is carrying on
mass propaganda for the march.
Meetings are being held, leaflets dis
tributed, all the working class organ
izations are being visited and every
home and store is being canvassed
for donations of food and money for
the hunger march.
The rest of the cities, Paterson,
Passaic, Jersey City, Union City, etc,
are also carrying on day to day work
for the Trenton hunger march.
The march will start from Pater-
son and will go through Passaic,
Newark, Elizabeth, Linden, Railway,

PARASITIC strike of the textile

are now out. 1t is expected that the
strike will extend to the Loire district
where, together with the Rllone dis
trict, many thousands Of textile
workers are employed. Since the be-
ginning of January, the textile em-
ployers have been conducting sys-
tematic campaign against the wages
of the workers. On February 2, the
textile bosses in Cours announced
wage cuts of from to IL Francs q

from 13 to IS Francs a day. There

jobless here is 100000.
Demand All the SS,OOO,O00 City Loan!
The struggle for unemployment re-
lief conducted by the unemployed
councils brought some results. A fear
was thrown into the hearts of the
rich parasites of Philadelphia. Thru
their, determined struggle the unem-
ployed have forced the city council
to consider the appropriation of ST.
100000 of the proposed 100000 city
loan for unemployment. This is only
a drop in the bucket, but it shows
the use of Struggling.
Expose the City Racket!
City Hall and all the agencies of
capitalism are now feyerishly collect
ing funds for their racket and ascab
agency. the Mayors Unemployment
Relief Committee, The money. col
lected as the mayor himself stated,
comes mainly from the working class.
However the money collected from
the workers is used against the work
ers. The unemployed are made to
work on city jobs and even on Jobs
Of private individuals and concerns,
without being paid by the city OF
by these private individuals. The
miserable wages mot to exceed $12
per week. are being paid from the
money collected by this mayors COM
mittee. In other words the city keeps
the money that should have been
spent on city jobs, and uses it to pay
fat salaries to the officials. This
together with the open strike break
ing policy of the Police Department,
which has now prohibited picketing
in the Needle Trades and Textile
strikes is serious threat to the
interests of all workers. The Feb
ruary 25th demonstration must show
to the bosses and their government,
that they will not be able to use
the unemployed to lower the standard
of living Of all workers.

Of Negro and white unemploye
workers will be elected to present the
demands of the unemployed to the
mayor and city council. Until now
these city officials have been lodging
the issue OF handing out immediate
relief to the unemployed workers.
Instead they are carrying on fake
relief campaign and have established
an employment agency, which does
not hand out any employment or real
relief to the starving workers of this
city. The Feb. % demonstration is
expected to bring out thousands of
workers and surpass the Feb. 10th
demonstration in which more than
500 participated.
The industries are continuing to
lay off more workers daily. The Sun
Shipyard Co. pursued a policy in the
past of hiring and firing workers
daily. This labor turnover is q trick
to keep the workers from organizing.
In the last two weeks they laid off
700 workers, and have not done any
hiring since. The Chester Unem-
ployed Council affiliated to the Trade
Union Unity League, is attracting
more workers daily, many Negroes.

ton an Unemployment Conference

No Meal Tickets.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Feb. 90
Three weeks of the most cynical Jug
Cling with the lives of the starving
unemployed here by the city govern
ment and the chamber of commerce
has ended with the bald statement
that nothing has been done.
The San Antonio unemployed are
going to do something for themselves,
though, for they are planning huge
demonstration Feb. Is to force i'm
mediate relief out of the business men
and city treasury here. Mexican and
native born workers will come out and
join the great chorus of demands for
the right to live that rises all over
the world that day, International
Fighting Day for the unemployed.
The unemployed council here is
holding regular meetings and prepar-
ing the demonstration. Mass meet
ings called by the unemployed coun-
Gil and the r. U. U. L. have been
held on the 18th, 18th, 18th and 10Th.
Between Jan. 10 and %, over 3,700
jobleSS registered. w. Green of the
chamber Of commerce. chairman of
a committee appointed by it to "solve
unemployment" blandiy stated in the
last meeting, that:
Most Of the local unemployed were
too proud to register, and are not
even on the list" He meant, that
the census took care to miss them.
Force Them To Act!
Then, after various meetings Of this
committee, It was announced last
week that nothing whatever was being
done, or about to be done, even for
the 3,700 OH the lists.
The first sessions of the committee
got all whooped up about a plan to
sell tickets for one cheap meal, these
tickets to be handed out to the hun
CRY who begged for money. The
local press published lengthy articles
on this, as a cure for "panhandling. :"
Now it is announced that no tickets
will be issued.
