Council

The Downtown Unemployed Coun-
ii prevented another eviction today,
when they placed the furniture Of
an unemployed worker, Frank Pat
rick of 372 E. Tenth ST., back into
the house from which it had been
evicted.
After they had placed the furni-
ture into the house they held a
meeting in front Of the place, at
which many workers attentively lis
tened. The unemployed worker has
been out of work for a long time and
had been forced to send his three
children to city institution because
he had no money to support them.
The Unemployed Council held a
meeting at their regular place in
front of the Free Unemployed Agency
on Leonard ST., and another meet
ing at Ave. B and Fourth st. After
that they held their indoor meeting
at 81 E. Fourth st. and many work
ers joined the Unemployed Council.

GRAND JURY OF

Claims Cooler, Hurst,
Not Kidnapped

DALLAS, Tex, April 6.--The Dali
las county grand jury, made up of
Ku KluX Klansmen or those directly
under their influence, brought in a
report Friday, drawn up by District
Attorney McCraw, another Klans-
man, and signed by all the jurors,
declaring that Cooler and Hurst were
mot flogged but were kidnapped by
themselves or other. Communists, for
publicity purposes!"
The grand jury findings are in
such fragrant violation of all the
facts that they serve merely as an
other exhibition of the power of the
Khan and lynch gangs in this sec
ton, The grand jury passes calmly
over the statement of the reporter
Edward Barr of the local Dallas
Dispatch" that the klansman, Nor
man Register, assistant to the Dis
trict Attorney gave him the details
of the flogging and kidnapping, de-
tails later confirmed by Coder and
Hurst themselves when they appear

out in the country from Dallas.
The two had been rescued by poor
Negro farmers and hidden from the
lynchers.

The grand jury's findings are in
fragrant contradiction to the evid-
ence of the noted local attorney
George Clifton Edwards, volunteer
council for the two men when they
we're arrested. Edwards saw the men
seized on the steps Of the Jail, where
they we're turned over to the armed
gang of klansmen by the police, and

Throughout the country, the four
tenth anniversary of the entrance
of the United States in the World
War, which was celebrated Saturday,
was used as day of mobilization
for the next imperiahst slaughter.
The New York World Telegram said
that the fourteenth anniversary
found this nation in better posi-
ton to fight than ever before in
its history"
This is no accident. The Amer
lean bosses have been deliberately
preparing for war. Billions of dol
lars have been spent for the army
and navy. While the standing army
is only 118,750, the leading officers
of the War Department say that they
can put 100000 armed men into
the field Immediately.
The anniversary of the American
capitalists entrance into the World
War took place in the midst of the
worst crisis of world capitalism. 1t
took place at time when all the
imperiahst powers are preparing war
against the Soviet Union.
The fighting trim Of the armies
shows how quickly the capitalists are
ready to spend money for war; but
they cannot find cent to feed the
100000 unemployed.
On every occasion the capitalists
fiaunt their war machinery. They
are rapidly driving forward to plunge
the working class into another
slaughter so that the United States
Steel Corporation can increase its

announced that they would not scab.
The speakers of the Borough Hall

$4,000 men for three days work a

Much Of the money was contrib

checked it off their employees wages,
threatening with dismissal those who
protested. Many employers even on
