The second victory was achieved
when the question of the city lodg-
ing houses came up, for which the
committee was actually sent in. The
workers developed great n1ilitancy.
Schmies spoke. Martel president of
the Detroit Federation OF Labor,
tried to save the City Common Coun-
Gil. He opened ) the opposition
with vicious attack against
Schmies. But the workers did not
stand for it. He was compelled to
stop and stood completely exposed
before these starving workers. The
Common Council was compelled TO
decide that the lodging houses must
be opened up tonight.
In addition to this, the City Coun-
Gil was compelled, also, to promise
us q session for Wednesday at II
o'clock. The Trade Union Unity
League and the Unemployed Coun-
ellis will have complete program
ready and will present it to the city
