Six weeks ago President Hoover in

bushels of wheat away. The wheat
had been lying in grain elevators for
two years. Bought up by the Farm
Board from the big grain interests

million bushels of unstable wheat at
very favorable prices to them, the
wheat was kept in the hope of a ris-

In spite of the prayers, divine

Over 800 workers rallied to mass
protest Scottsboro meeting held at
100 Glenmore Avenue last Thursday,
when Comrades William 2. Foster

gathering. Repeated attempts of the

unsuccessful because of the militancy

Gordon thrown around the hall, the

After INSPIRING addresses from the

STOP CLOSING OF
PUBLIC SCHOOL IS
Force School Bosses to
Withdraw Decision

NEW YORK-The school bosses

their announced decision to close
down Public School, No. So, as the
direct result Of mass pressure ex-
erted by the workers of 53rd street
under the leadership of the Workers

tee Of the unemployed.
This substantial local victory was
secured through mass meetings, in
tensive canvassing and signed petit
tons and resolutions scoring the
closing down of the school which
would have meant the robbing of
one meal day to many hungry chill
dren.
The workers activity was crystaized
through the Children's Center Of the
w. I. r. at 459 West 53rd Street,
thus confirming the efficiency of the
w. I. r. class struggle relief pro-
gram as weapon in lettering the
conditions of workers at the expense

w. I. r. branches everywhere are
called to initiate similar activities in
the poor Negro and white neighbor-
hoods to push forward the campaign
against the misery and starvation Of

Block Aiders Help
Doak In Drive to
Deport Workers
by a Worker Correspondent


NEW YORK; am an cff1ce work
er for the Block Aid. Although
cannot disclose names. I wish to
inform you that the Block Aid is
nothing but slave driving, discrim-
mating, spying and politics ridden
outfit of the bosses.
We are speeded up in our work
and asked to contribute overtime
without pay. Only If we work from
to are we allowed overtime, and
then only 75c Supper money! for
three hours work,
Negroes and persons speaking with
an accent (foreign-born) are not
employed at this once. There Is
open shameless discrimination against
them.
The Block Aid is organized sup
posedly to stamp out want for the
poor But. as matter of fact, the
Block Aid is used as a political foot
bali among the grafters and parasites
of both Republican and Democratic
parties. These bloodsuckers don't
give hang about stamping out want
for the poor. ALI they care for is to
fight for leadership" which means
the lions share of the spoils.
Recently when the manager of a
factory refused to become Block
Chairman, the district secretary i'm
mediately called up the main Office
of the Block Aid, suggesting that the
refusal of this factory manager be
reported to Washington for purposes
Of investigation and ultimately for
deportation
The next morning a letter of con-
firmation from the main office Of the
Block Aid reached this Office stating
that the matter in question had been
referred to Washington.
Workers, do not allow the bosses to
slip this vicious scheme over your
heads. Resist the Block Aid. Throw
them out. Build your own Block
Committees under the leadership of
the Unemployed Councils.

latest statements is by the we'll

Service. 1t says in its Foreign Letter,
April rs, 1882:
1.-THE deterioration has gone too
far to permit allegiance to pure ortho-
doxy in administration of financial
systems. The very simple fact is
that payment of debts has become
impossible at present price ranges.
The menace of social disturbance has
to be reckoned with. Accordingly,
there is but one thing to do, either
in America or anywhere else, and that
is to change the value Of the cur
rencies. The remedy is heroic, but

LID Files Appeal for New
Trial of IA Tampa Workers
Calls Upon Working Class to Get Behind These
Tampa Workers

An appeal for new trial in the
case of the fourteen Tampa workers
who are serving sentences ranging
from one to ten years for their mill
tant activities in working class strug-
giles, has been filed with the Supreme
Court of Florida by the International
Labor Defense attorney, Bernard
AIDES.
On November It'll, a large number
of workers had assembled at the
Labor Temple in Tampa, the starting
place of parade in celebration of
the 1917 Revolution of the Russian
workers and peasants. Suddenly,
without warning, a troop of police,
accompanied by scores of American
Legionnaires and Ku Kluxers with
tear gas, machine guns and revolvers,
broke into the hall, charged upon the
workers and proceeded to club the

The workers of Tampa, who are

are being subjected to the most

NEW YORK.-Last Monday, April
