MORE VICTORIES
FOR UNEMPLOYED
ON EAST SIDE
Downtown Council
Gets Aid for Two
On Thursday

NEW YORK. - When the Daily
stated yesterday that not a day pas
ses without relief being won for un-
employed workers through the mass
pressure of the Downtown Unem-
ployed Council it was not exaggerat-
ing.
Yesterday Daily gave reports Of
Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Thursday. the council marked
up two more victories for the work
ing-class against the fake charities.
This day committee from the
Council went to the Home Relief Bu-
reau with A. Weisberg, ia Lewis st.
This worker had been registered with
the bureau for three weeks. Aat that
time he told him how urgent his
case was, there was no food in the
house even then. Three weeks pas
sed without so much as an investi-
cation.
At the bureau, the officials tried to
evade the matter with an excuse used
often now I'VE have no record"
But they found record, when the
workers began to exert some pres
sure and raised a "little hell" as the
workers put it. The bureau promised
to give the worker relief by today.
Again on the same day, commit
tee went to the bureau with D. Neu-
man, 1886 E. 3rd. This worker has been
unemployed for some time and has
five children to feed. He also was
registered at the burtau, but as in
hundreds of cases no investigation
was made or any effort to give him
relief. addition to being hungry

tict telling him to get out. The COM
mittee marched into the bureau, and
before leaving extracted a promise of
immediate investigation and relief.

raised this question as an important

He pointed out that concrete prob

organs of struggle making up the
union. First, the mine branch, made
up of the miners employed in the
mine. The next organ of the union
is the local union. The local can

This maneuver by means of which

capitalists can move their money TO
foreign countries. The masses OF
workers, farmers and middle class
must stay and bear the burdens of
the most crushing tax that the Amer

shoulders
In an attempt TO frtghten the DEM
agogues in the House Of Representa-
tives into allowing more speedy
passage Of the tax bill, Representa-
tive Rainey accused the Insurgents
of moving toward Communism. The
reply Of Representative Swing dis
closed the real denagogic nature of
the opposition" He said:
"On the contrary, the action Of
the House was the greatest aSsur-
ance that bOuld be given against
Communism. Communism thrives
on grievances and the fragrant dis
elimination existing in the rates of
the income surtax whereby those
with net incomes above 100000 a
year were favored with fiat rate
while those below 100000 were
required to pay the graduated in
come tax"
Further proof of the fake nature Of
LaGuardia's opposition to the tax
bill was given when he refused TO
offer any opposition, either alone or
together with the other So-called
revolving insurgents" to a postpone
ment Of hearing on the tax bill in

clared to give the House chance

CHESTER, Pa.-Leon Brysiak, lis
South 18th St., Saginaw. Mich,
worked for the Sun Ship Yard in
Chester for one year. On May 22d,
.l931, he was laid off and given a
etter of recommendation by the Su-
tperintendent of the Engineering De-
tbartment, George D. Carney, in which
they show that he was very faith
full worker.
On January "a, 1882, the head OF
the employment department, Wicker,
came to this workers son and told
him to send his father telegram to
come to work Immediately. Receiv-
ing the telegram, he came to Chester
from Saginaw and Immediately ap-
piled for work. When he reported to
Wicker he told him TO wait. He
waited some time and then he ap-
pealed to a higher official, who told
Wicker to give him a job, and the
latter answered that when he has
something he will give it to him.
Finally he went down and told
him that he spent fare coming here
and has no money to go back and
that he can't stay here, SO he told
him that he does not live in Chester
and therefore he cannot give him any
work.
This is part of the Sun Ship policy
to terrorize the workers who are still
HIorking into greater speed-up and
tepare them for accepting more
Nage cuts.
A few weeks before the New Year,
the Chester Times, local capitalist
sheet, came out with statement that
the Sun Ship Yard was going to hire
hundreds of workers. Thousands of
workers came and waited from early
morning, day after day, only to be
told that they don't need any.
Now, when they cannot fool so
many Chester workers into coming
up to the gates so that they could
use them as a whip over the heads
of those working, they call in work
ers from outside of Chester, like they
did with this worker.
Instead of going to the Sun Ship
Yards begging for job which they
are sure not to get, workers should

I would ask you, comrades from
abroad, to discuss this letter among
your women workers and to tell them
the whole truth about the Soviet
Union and about how well we live
and how freely we breathe in the
Soviet Union.
Your problem, dear comrades, is,
first Of all, to arm yourself with the
Marxist-Leninist theory, to mobilize
the masses of workers and peasants
for struggle against the oppressors
in order to free yourself of the cap
italist yoke.

State Kills Two for
50 Cent Theft
LSNR Denounce Legal
Murder AS Attempt
Terrorize Negroes

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 2o.--
The first death penalty for larceny
in the history Of the state of Ala
barna was carried through here on
March II, when Percy Irwin and
Isaac Minis, two Negro workers, we're
burned in the electric chair for the
theft Of SO cents.
The execution occurred shortly
after midnight in Kilby Prison, where
the nine young Scottsboro boys are
also held in the death cells.
The League of Struggle for Negro
Rights, which has been active in
fighting for the freedom Of the
Scottsboro boys, yesterday branded
the legal murder of Irwin and Minis
as an effort on the part of the white
ruling class to strike terror into the
hearts Of the Negro workers. The
sentence against these two workers
recalls the death sentence meted out
some months ago to John Moore, a
jobless Negro worker of Winston
Salem, N. O., for the theft of a
pair of Wornout shoes. The death
sentence in the case of Moore was
later commuted to life Imprisonment.

Coolidge Sneaks

Calvin Coolidge won a great re-
putation of sagacity by holding his
tongue. His cryptic statements on
public issues, ending finally in his
famous utterance Il do not choose
to rum enhanced his popularity.
Public confidence in a large measure
was his. He was the do-nothing type
OF president and this fact probably
allowed the nation to drift into it's
present predicament. Never did he
lift a hand to stem the greatest
gambling spree in history, but his
voice was raised once or twice in
solemn warning not to sell the ma
ton short.
He was wise enough to sec the
clouds coming, some of them fun
mel IN shape. Mr.. Coolidge scurried
ir'o retirement and what a pile of
problems he left on his desk for Mr.,
Hoover.
His Madison Square Garden ad-
dress OF Tuesday night is as cold and
uninspiring as the Congressional Rec
ord. Its language is without fire or
flash of conviction. No one will cheer
and few will applaud it. It was a
weak speech in face of an urgent
crisis-a stone when the masses are
clamoring for bread.
Few will choose" to read it.

Goat Chasing

Criminal prosecution in the Uni

scalp hunting becomes frenzied and
looted barns have theirs doors firm

The mad chase after insults over
two continents is typical. Some OF
the Illinois peace officers engaged in
hunting down these men, who may
or may not be guilty, are candidates
for office. Foolish people who gam.
bled in insult securities naturally are
crying loudly for revenge and ret
ribution. That is only natural.
But what is the other side Of the
picture? How about the officials
who were lax in their examination
Of the insult properties, which were
slipping long before the final expose
and debacle. Many authorities in
Chicago. while the insults were stu

THAT BULL
Very well, the good Senior is back
from Seville-and this is the newest
tale he brings:
We'll, I got home and the old
bunch came out to give me a big
reception. They had arranged a
banquet in the local bull ring, for
they know I am bull-fight fan.
There were 40 guests. The table was
spread right out in the ring. The
fights were to come later. Town
folk had heard of the reception and
several hundred people were in the
stand.
Coming from America, they
thought I would be dropping gold,
and, although I was a guest, I fig
ured they expected me to pay the
bill. Since we had many wines and
liquors, the bill had run to about
S270. I didn't intend to be a Yam
kee sucker unless necessary. Well,
who was going to foot the bill?
Suddenly one of the party got an
idea; bull would be released into
the arena. We would all remain at
the table. But the first man to get
up from his seat would be stuck for
the crowd. All agreed
Il was sitting facing the bull gate.
1 saw an attendant open it-and
cut came the bull. Was I scared?
I knew that one shouldn't move
the code of the fighter is to be as
still as possible when the bull is
charging. The man who had sug-
gested the stunt was drinking from
an old-fashioned gourd. He raised it
and began to pour a wine stream
down his throat, by way of gathering
courage. His movements attracted
the eye of the bull, which came GAL
Looping over. The fellow, in fright
got up from his seat and started
pouring out some more courage. Be-
fore anyone could do anything about
it, the bull had tossed him in the air
