secretary of same send you names of
officials.
The council was organized as a
direct result of Feb. 10 demonstra-
ton, at City Hall steps, in which be-
tween 5000 and 5000 participated.
AS in enclosed report, you will see
that demonstration of Feb. 25th was
broken up by the police. Had the
white workers shown the same amount
of CUTS as the Negro workers, there
would have been a battle. Of the 20
arrested, 10 were Negro Gncluding a
Negro woman. These 10 were re-
leased at City Hall.
Seven arrested were Mexicans, 2 of

since February 5th. No TUUL
groups organized. The U.G.TM.
Union General de Trabajodores de
Mexico in U. S. A. local here, which
controls the same organization thru
out Texas and has Is locals is having
a convention here in April, when
they plan to affiliate to the T. U.
U. L. Send all information possible
as to the cost of utilization, dues, etc.
AS to the method of organizing
groups-we have contacts in the var
ious industries here, whom we in
tend to call to meetings, discuss the
T. U. U. L. for shop organization
committees and thus build from the
ground up. Can you spare copy of
the TUUL Constitution?
We started the work with abso-
lutely no literature or finances.
At our Feb 10th demonstration we
didn't even have a copy of the Daily
Worker, let alone Labor Unity and
application blanks. However, we
signed applicants on ordinary writ
ing paper, backs of envelopes, etc.
Have approximately 200 members in
Council at present.
We have, you might say, no forces
to assist us, as I am only speaker
here. However, we are not crying
shortage of forces" but expect to
develop new forces locally.
Will keep you informed of progress
semi-monthly at present and as we
grow will make weekly reports.
WIN communist greetings.

Coolers letter Of Feb. rs states:
THE demonstration against unem-
ployment which was scheduled for 10
a. m. at Fair Park was prevented by
the city officials, who threw a Gordon
of armed thugs in uniform around
the park with orders to prevent any
gathering. -Four arrests were made
including Comrade Lewis Hurst. The
workers made militant attempt to
carry on, but were unable to break
through the lines. The police had
orders not to arrest Comrade Coder
but to prevent the workers from gath.
ering around him.
"Once again the police have proved
that they are the tools of the bosses
class, but such tactics will not pre-.
vent the organization of the Dalla.
