S t o p Persecution
Demonstrate May Day

NEW YORK. Discrimination
against the foreign born and depor-
tation have not slackened. on the
contrary, Mr.. William Doak, secre-
tary of the labor department, openly
and emphatically states that depor-
tation will be increased and regis
tration of the foreign born will be
set up. The entire machinery is
prepared for this task. Already, day
by day, Ellis Island receives new
corners from various parts of the
country for deportation. Stimuli
taneously, discrimination against the
foreign born is growing in workshops,
mines and factories. There are big
campaigns in the A. F. of l.. uunions
against foreign born. The Negro
bourgeoisie is lined up in discrimin-
atory campaigns against the foreign
born. These attacks must be stopped.
And the workers can stop it, provided
they organize strong movements for
the protection of foreign born.

A very successful conference of del

der the auspices of the Unemployed
Council of Pittsburgh on April 8.
There were 81 delegates present.

The main reporter at the confer

days in Jail as the result of the I'M
employed demonstration on February
25, and who is now, with 4 others,
under charges of "inciting to riot"
and facing trial in short time. The
report brought out the situation of the
jobless workers in the city, the trick
cry being used by the Allegheny
County Emergency Association, an
outfit sponsored by the steel and coal
bosses of this country, which jim crows
and black-Ests workers, and helps the
city to cut off every cent of city re-
lief. This association has handed
out only 2,100 jobs on starvation
wages in a county where at least
10000 workers are jobless, and is now
beginning to black jack days pay
from those workers who are still on the
job. The Pittsburgh Plan" is also
becoming model for similar schemes
throughout the country, and the con-
ference recognized the necessity of a
bitter struggle against this plan.
The conference elected delegates to
the May Day Conference to be held
on April 10 at the International Ly-
ceum, 805 James ST., N. s., and also
took up question of preparations for
Hunger March to Harrisburgh from

decided to communicate with mayors
