GOVT BACKS UP
CHICAGO BOSSES
FOR NEW TERROR

CHICAGO, August 10-Under the
screaming headlines, 'Evictions viii
Go On Despite Riot Outbreaks" the
Chicago Daily News flaunts across its
pages the intention OF the bosses and
their city administration to continue
the terror against the unemployed
workers, which has already resulted
in the murder of unemployed Ne
gro workers and the wounding of
scores Of Negro and white workers,
Rent evictionS will continue the
Daily News boasts, in spite of riots
or Communist agitation such as have
marked the last two weeks in the
Negro districts, property owners were
told this afternoon at conference
with city and federal officials in the
Chicago Real Estate Board offices"
This confirms the warning of the
Communist Party that the promise
Of Mayor Cermak TO discontinue evic-
lions was only a fake gesture aimed
at placating the flaming Indignation
of the workers, reused over the brutal
police attack on a demonstration of
Negro and white workers on the
South side Monday August 3, against
the eviction of 70-year old Negro
woman
The Chicago News article also
shows the Federal Government ex-
tending its anti working class activ-
tiles from the sphere of deportation,
strike breaking, wage cutting and
denial of unemployed relief to in
clude all phases of the struggles of
the working class against starvation,
The Federal Government has entered
the fight against the starving Negro
and white unemployed workers of
Chicago.
The campaign of police massacre
and evictions against the unemployed
workers is being directed from the
offices Of the Chicago Real Estate
Board. 1t is there that the city and
federal officials go to get their Or
Gerc.
1t was also a meeting of Chicago
landlords and real estate agents,
white AMI Negro, together with Off
Gals of the N. A. A. c. P. and a
representative of the Chicago De-
fender, that ordered the police mas
sacre of workers on the South Side,
which occurred on August 3. 1t is
these white and Negro landlords and
real estate agents, together with the
N. A. A. c. P. and the Chicago De-
fender, and the City Government,
who are responsible for the murder
of Chicago unemployed workers.
At the meeting in the Chicago
Real Estate Board offices, not only
were city and federal officials pre-
sent. but also present were Acting
Chief Justice Frank M. Padden Of
the Municipal Court, and Albert j.
Koran, Municipal Court bailiff. These
Joined in the pledge to carry out the
eviction policy of the landlords.
THE Municipal court has no OPP
ton but to operate under the law
in these premises" promised Judge
Padden. IF an acute situation pre-
walls on the south side it is matter
solely for the charitable and social
agencies of the city to settle. What
ever is done to alleviate the situation
must be accomplished by private mi
tiative."

WHITE PLAINS. N Y, Aug, T.
The American Federation of Labor,
which stepped in and betrayed the
strike Of 900 road workers in this
vicinity. is nov helping the bosses
keep scabs on the job and keep the
strikers off the job. An agreement"
was arrived at between the bosses
and the A. F. of L., and under this
agreement the bosses can keep any
active striker out Of work that they
want to. The agreement reads
that the bosses will take back the
men as far as possible" The Daily
Reporter of White Plains explains
this by saying that the bosses said
lit would be impossible to re-employ
all the strikers The men had been
out against wage cuts and carried on
militant fight, but trusted to reac-
tionary leadership and would not line
up with the Trade Union Unity
League. A statement issued by the
J'.U.U.L. on the betrayal says in part:
The American Federation Of La
Dor officials, William Nc Geory,

sold out the strike! They signed the
agreement behind closed doors and

ent the strikers from voting down

ractors refusing to take back many

tractors were willing to sign agree
inents with the A. F of Il Those
takers have signed away all the work

Lynch. the liar O'Connor, mediators

crippled the strike, weakened the
fighting spirit Of the men and finally
the strike vas sold out.
