William F. Green, president OF the
American Federation Of Labor, did
good service for the bosses in the
last world war, helping them to
make profits out Of the slaughter Of
the workers. For this reason he was
called in to aid along in the propa-
ganda and preparation Of plans for
the next war. H..
In testifying, Green said he was
against "conscripting capital; he
wants the bosses to make their prof

RUSH TOPASS
Law AGAINST
COMMUNISTS
1 South States Have
Criminal Syndicalist
Laws for Passage

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 49,
-Four Southern states are now rush
ing new laws to smash the growing
struggles of the starving workers
and choppers.
In Texas and North Carolina Grim
inal sy1idicalist laws aimed at the
Communist and revolutionary work
ers are now before the state legisla-
ture. The North Carolina law pro-
vides for 10 years in the pen for
workers who fight the bosses hun
ger system. The Texas law carries
to 4 years sentence.
In New Orleans the city council is
preparing to pass a new ordinance
making it crime to print revolu-
tionary literature or for fighting
working-class organizations to even
hold meetings.
In Alabama the state legislature,
not satisfied with the present GRIM
inal anarchy law which provides for
ten years in prison for militant
workers and troopers, are putting
through new and more drastic law
aimed directly at the Communist
Party. At the same time the present
vagrancy law will be amended to in
clude all Communists as Migrants
liable to one year on the inhuman
chain gang.
The big landlords in the legislature
are frantic at the growing strength
of the Communist Party in the Ala
bama Black Belt, where the Negro
choppers are rallying around the
Party in increasing numbers.
The workers must answer these
laws with a determined fight to
smash through this wall of anti
working-class laws.

JOBLESS COUNCIL
BESTS MARSHALL
Puts Furniture Back
in Spite of Cops

NEW YORK. Horn and
Three Tammany policemen failed
yesterday to keep the Down Town
Council of the Unemployed from
putting back the furniture of the
Bernstein family, at 100 East st.
The family is actually starving,
the wife is just out of the hospital,
and has three children. The family
has been unemployed for eight
months.
The landlord, ISaacson, also owns
the Houston Grill, at Suffolk and
Houston. He sent the marshall to
throw the tenants out, and the mar
shall was there when the Unem-
ployed Council committee arrived.
The jobless went about their duty
of putting the furniture back, dis
regarding the angry protests of the
marshall. The police got there just
as big meeting was being held in
front, and failed in their efforts to
interfere.
The usual meeting by the Down
Town Council was held yesterday at
SO Leonard, in front of the
Tammany fake employment office,
and as usual, jobless workers fol-
lowed to the indoor meeting later
in q East Fourth ST., where some
