Raise the Struggle Against Hunger to
A Higher Plane for February 18th

: unemployed and employed workers
by raising it struggle on higher
level, by fighting for immediate re-
lief for every family OF the unsna-
ployed workers, for single unemployed
workers, for young workers and
women, for food for the school chill
dren.
The working class of Chicago must
raise the demands Of building houses
for the workers. to destroy thte pre-
| sent slumps, which are so outsttand-
ing and famous in Chicago, and es-
pecially in the Negro neighboFhood.
to build houses that workers can
live in; the houses to be built by the
city, and the Union wage scale to
prevail on the building constructions.
To demand that the money raised
for the charities TO be turned over
to the Unemployed. Councils, to stop
all kinds of red tape and discrinni-
nation that the rich bosses class Be
taxed to pay immediate relief for
the unemployed, and food from the
warehouses and stockyards to be dis
tributed to the unemployed workers
are vital issues of struggle. Like
wise, the empty apartments Of the
bourgeoisie, hotels, YMCA, ETC., must
be opened to the unemployed.
AFL Does the Dirty Work for Bosses
These struggles must be developed
as a base Of the struggle for the
Workers Unemployment Insurance.
Bill presented by the National Hun
ger March to the Hoover Hunger
government. Tony Cer1nak, the head
Of the city government, VINO was
elected on the platform Il will solve
the unemployment problem up TIL
now he has refused even to consider
the problem Of unemployment, and n
this he receives the support Of Oscar
Nelson, vice president of thte Chicago
Federation of Labor and the whole
leadership of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, which now opens class
to train speakers to combat Com
munlSt influence among the working
class, declaring that this school must
receive support from the capitalist
class, as the trade unions Of the
American Federation of Labor are
the best defenders OF capitalism.
Unity and Struggle for Feb.
The struggle for immediate relief
for the slowly dying thousands OF
workers in the city and county must
express itself in militant struggle,
demonstrations, delegations to the
charities and government institutions,
penetration into the factories, WIN
ming the support Of the workers In
the factories, into the local unions
of the AF7L, modifying the mighty
power of the Chicago working class,
uniting Negro and white workers in
a struggle for the immediate de-
mands, and leading to a huge city
wide demonstration on National IN

Relief Breakdown In N. Y. Part of
National Drive Against Unemployed

Hoover regime, especially since it
points out that "the national au-
thorities (meaning Hoover are
urging that relief for acute unem-
plOyment and resulting poverty
and distress must be provided by
the localities themseIves-that is,
by cities, towns and villages" Then
Walker declares that the cities,
towns and villages cannot get any
money for this purpose because the
bankers vii not make loans for the
purpose a nd bring pressure TO bear
against IL.
walker also mentions the billions
IN loans made to foreign countries,
saying that these are now in default,
while the cities are able to pay but
cannot get loans.
This is Walkers way of trying TO
cover up the fact that despite the
admission by the Tammany regime
that 100000 families, or around $780,
600 people in New York face imme-
date starvation, if the entire relief
apparatus is shut down.
Another scheme of the bankers to
increase their graft was TO propose
that subway, street car and elevated
fares be raised. The income of the
traction systems owned by Wall
street now bring in 92.00000O year.
An Increase of one cent In the fare
would raise The profits Of the bankers
who own the traction systems by
s19,000000 a year Tammany Hell Is
willing to grant this increase, If it
can share sufficiently in the gra IT,.
There is squabble now going on
over this question, directed against
both the employed and unemployed
as well as over unemployment relief
Meanwhile, the whole Tamnapy
"relief" scheme has Topped. The
Home Relief Bureau is shut. No
money at all, nor relief of any kind
is being given to the starving thous
ands. Neither Mayor Walkers
phrases about "Wall st. Bankers
nor his talk about the Reconstruc
ton Finance Corporation or "foreign
loans" will feed the unemployed.
The same problem is faced by the
workers In every city. No federal
relief, no city relief, is the program

John Reed Club Demands Release
The John Reed Club, an organiza-
ton OF writer's and artists, at its
meeting Friday, January 8, sent the
following telegram to the governor
Of Kentucky and to the sheriff OF
Bell County:
''The John Reed Club, the organ
iZation of authors and artists devoted
to advancement Of the working class,
protests vigorously the persecution Of
the striking miners and their leaders
in your jurisdiction. We hold you
responsible for these acts and will so
inform the entire world Of art and

the workers are unemployed,
100000 Illinois JObless

To picture still more clearly this
situation there is the report Of Sam
uel A. Goldsmith, executive director
of Jewish Charities in Chicago, given
to the U, S. Senate Manufacturers
Sub Committee. He revealed that in
addition to about 100000 unemployed
in Chicago there is another 100000
throughout the state of Illinois, and
according to him, A total number of
no less than 100000 unemployed in
Illinois.
Bankrupt "Charity'
The workers of Chicago are losing
daily 100000 in pay while charities
expende approximately 100000 a day,
taking care of no more than about
100000 formilies. According to Gold
smith, $1O,O00,0O0 has been raised by
the United Charities (some of this
amount only in pledges which will
be spent by February IS andnothirg
viii be lcst to carry on beyond that
date.
Despite this situation, neither the
city, county, or state government in
Illinois nor the United States Gov
eminent are taking any serious steps
toward raising money to relieve the
situation. To the contrary new pre-
parations are being made for 3 fur

Meetings of judges, real estate owners,
and some politicians, haYe been held,
at which plans have been discussed
as to what to do with unemployed
workers who not pay rent. According

evictions have been stopped after
August when 10000 demonstrated

to the militant struggle on the part
of the workers on the South Side
that not only have evictions been
stopped, but they were forced to give

Children Starving
While these facts are known, at the
same time the capitalist press of
Chicago comes out with what is
known as THE "Whoopee Trial"
that is an exposure Of the Repub-
hcan politicians by the Democratic
politicians who controlled the Cook
County Sanitary Board few years
ago and millions and millions of
dollars in the form of graft we're
given out to the politicians, grafters,
police and other such elements.
Chicago schools are in such a
situation that teachers received only
two pay checks since April l, 1881.
School children in the working
class neighborhoods are actually
starving, over 100000 pieces of pro-
perty in Cook County are for sale
for unpaid taxes. OF course, this
consists primarily Of shacks, workers
houses that were bought on payments
during the time of prosperity. The
banks are collapsing and especially

programs for keeping the boss class
IN the saddle.
h For the first time in their lives a
record crowd Of business and pro-
fessional men, including practically
all the boss class politicians of the
city, had to sit still and listen TO the
demands of the rising working class
as expressed by a Communist leader.
None dared to sneer as in the earlier
days when the movement was weaker.

OF votes the Communists will get; and
If this depression keeps up several
more years we're liable to have a

after the meeting were typical of the
deep impression made even upon
hard-shelled capitalist politicians by

munist program.
Ford made his bourgeois. audience

ployed; of the special discrimination
IN housing and relief against Negro
workers, and of the police terror
Heading up to the murder of Ray
tord and jackson, the two Negro
fpbless who dared to organize against
