TerrOrists and Police
Attack Richmond I'm
employed Council Hall

. RICHMOND, Ind.-For the first
time the police actually broke up a
meeting. AS workers gathered to
arrange protest against a relief cut
of from 20 to IS per cent, two cruis-
ing cars of cops came to the Work
ers' Center, ordered everyone out and
filled the hall with tear gas. Sew
eral Of the workers are prepared to
identify the police in this group.
Two days before that someone stole
all the light bulbs from the han, cut
off some Of the sockets and probably
thought they had made at least one
meeting impossible. When this
failed, the cops came in and finished
1t. OF course, the workers will not
be discouraged by this action, as the
cuts have been serious enough TO
show even the Labor Association
rank and file that the Unemployed
Council YVES right when they prophe-
cied that the relief would be cut
off.
Harry Reeves pretends to fear
bloodshed, as 1t seems as though the
police Of Richmond are trying their
best to give it to him. The Unem-
ployed Council, however, Is pointing
out to the workers that the best
way to meet the police lawlessness is
by mass demonstrations. When the
police break the law, as the Rich
mend police have done several times
in the past months, the best bet for
the workers is: let them feel the or
ganized mass of workers. Worker.

The Unity Committee and the In
dustrial Union are confident that
with the intensification of this prep
aratory work the struggle will de-
velop on a mass scale with the be-
ginning of the season.
A series Of leaflets dealing with the
preparations for the coming season
has been issued by the Unity Com
mittee.
The unemployed dressmakers at a
meeting held on Dec. ID decided to
throw themselves actively into the
preparations because they realize
that only through struggle will they
cut down the long hours Of slavery,
do away with the speed-up and pro
vide more jobs for the unemployed.
The Unity Committee is going on
with preparations for a mass confer
ence in the early part Of January
to which workers of the Interna-
tional, Industrial Union and workers
from open shops are called to send
delegates so as to broaden the base
Of the Unity Committee and launch
the strikes as soon as work begins
in the shops.
A specia' complaint Office has been
opened up in the headquarters Of
the Unity Committee, $40 w. Seth
st. and in the Office of the dress
department, 131 w. 23th St., 9th
floor. All dressnakers working in
open shops are called upon to i'm
mediately report these shops to the
union or the Unity Committee, con-
suit with the special organizers as
signed for this purpose on how to
proceed with the organization Of the
shops.
All dresSnlakers working in con-
tracing shops are called upon 10
check up on the jobbers through
whom the contractors secure their
work, and give this information to
the union so as to help spread the

Sweatshops Exploiting
Women and Girls

HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. is.--
One result Of the war on invading
needle trades shops, conducted by
the local garment manufacturers and
the Manufacturers Association Of
Connecticut, has been an exposure
OF these sweat shops by the state
labor department Many small gar
ment owners fled from the more un~
ionized New York workers to this
neighboring state, which is so far
without much organization.
The state labor department in
vestigators have made public some
of their findings, which include cases
where two cents for a days work is
all that is paid There are many
cases of 40 cents being paid for 100
hours work, 65 cents being paid for
80 hours work, and S1.oS for 80
hours work.
Cheap TO Violate Law.
Violations of the present state
labor laws on maximum hours for
women's work is good business for
these shop owners, as the penalty. if
convicted, is fine of $40 or less. and
while the case is pending, the boss
makes far more than that by his
violation.
Into this field the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union organizers
should come, to lead a struggle
against not only the newly arrived
sweat shop owners. but the old nat
i've shops in Connecticut, which the
present labor department inveStiga-
ton leaves largely untouched.

Workers Will Hold
on to Union Square

NEW YORK CTTY-Last Satur-
day a group of workers were stand
ing in Union Square discussing social
problems, unemployment and the
terrible conditions that the workers
have to endure in this land of plenty.
They were not obstructing traffic or
interfering with anyone, just trying
to find a way out of their situation.
Along comes a cop, a servant OF
Tammanys corrupt administration,
and drove away these peaceful work
ers in the manner Of a real cossack.
The new mayor has not taken Of
flee yet, but his policy of driving all
radicals from Union Square is being
carried on by the present admins
tration.
One worker said; This is real DEM
ocracy of capitalism, the country is
going to the dogs. But the working
class will not let the country go to
the dogs that way; they will build
this country for the workers and by
the workers. The workers are learn
ing better every day who is their
real friend and who is their enemy.

tect them ana begged police 10 not
harm their mothers. The police have
been more brutal here than in most
places in Chicago and hundreds of
workers are refused relief.
Mayor Cermak allowed only one
speaker 10 minutes TO present the de-
mands of the Unemployed Council,
stating that they were too busy, altho
they were then discussing changing
the name OF street which took them
over half an hour. The mayor de-
MED all responsibility of the police
terror and passed it on to the relief
commission.
The relief commissioners thought
it q joke when we got there, but the
delegates told them it was no joke,
but a serious matter when workers
and their women and children were
dubbed by the police. They told
them they we're having a city-wide
demonstration, demanding special
Christmas relief and the demands of
delegates at Washington, and that if
there was trouble it would be the
police that started it and they would
hold them responsible, also Mayor
Cermak,
So on December 6, the workers
modified at the Milwaukee Ave. re-
lief station about 1000 strong and
took complete possession of the place,
held an open forum meeting endors-
ing the demands at Washington,
and special Christmas relief Also
sent protest to Washington against
treatment of delegates there. Griev-
ances against relief heads were
heard and cases taken up, The po-
lice showed up but Mrs. Lawson,
station head, called these thugs off
and there was no trouble. Which
shows that first the city officials
do sent out police against workers,
second that heads of local relief
stations do have authority to stop
police brutality. There were sue
cessful demonstrations over the entire
city Of Chicago without police bru-
tally for the first time in the hiss
tory of the city.
Comrades, this proves that strong
organization and real militant DEL
egations backed up by you can check
police brutality and terror. Strength
