NEW YORK.-Some big signature
collections by individuals and chal-
lenge are reported by the National
Committee for support for the Work
ers' Unemployment Insurance Bill.
An unemployed worker in st. Louis,
Comrade Move, has collected $500
signatures through his individual ef-
forts. A letter received from the st.
Louis Unemployed Council demands
first place for him.
John Belit8, the New York worker,
who now has 1850 signatures to his
credit holds second place.
IF single workers can collect such
quantities of signatures through their
individual efforts, how does it come
that Industrial centers, like New Bed
ford, Mass, for instance, where there
are $4,000 unemployed textile work
ers, have only 5000 signatures to
date?" asks the National Committee.
