MOCK MISERY OF
JOBLESS WOMEN


NEW YORK.--Mocking the nliseries
Of unemployed girls, the New York
Evening Post carries a story headed
with brutal cynicism "Jobless Girls
Study Dancing to Keep Them on
Their Toes" and tells how a Miss
Strauss, a dancing teacher, solves
unemployment for dozen or so girls
by allowing them to dance at her
studio.
The Evening Post says Miss
Strauss had plan about unemploy-
ment. In the first place, she be-
lieves that unemployment is all a
result Of fear, which you'll have to
take on faith. She, herself, will have
nothing TO do With fear and never,
never gets depressed. So she figured
out that if all the unemployed could
only dance they could get rid of their
fear and shake off that facilitating
depression and Everything would be
just dandy"
Where the girls will get food, car
fare and money for board and dress,
Miss Strauss does not say and prob
ably does not care.
Ten cent meals are the latest
magnanimous~ gesture TO the unem-
ployed girls and women, served at the
Salvation Army Canteen for Unem-
ployed Girls at 80 East 10th st. job
less workers acquainted with the fare
given by the Salvation Army know
that the 10 cent meals would under
mine the health and appearance of
the unemployed working girls in
comparatively short time.

TWO FACE JAIL
IN SCOTTSBORO
DEMONSTRATION
Workers Must Rally to
Smash Three Year
Sentence

As evidence that the bosses are de-
iernlined to go through with the cleo
trocution Of the Scottsboro boys, two
New York workers, Tseronis and
Paulus, are to be sentenced in Cen
eral Sessions Court. Thursday, Jan.
7th. These two workers were arrest
ed last April in Scottsboro Demon
stration in Harlem which was broken
up by the police and many workers
severely beaten.
In spite of the fact that the tes-
timony brought out at the trial that
every one in reach of the police was
beaen, still these two workers were
found guilty in the capitalist courts
on charges of third degree assault.
The Judge sitting in the case was
none other than Judge Mott who
lives in the vicinity Of the Polish
Consulate where demonstration was
held Saturday by New York workers
against Polish terror. This same
Judge Mott figured conspicuously in
one Of the famous dynamiting plot
cases ten years ago when so-called
dynamite bomb was found under his
porch.
Workers Of New York must rally
to the support of the comrades Tser-
onis and Paulus, who are in danger
of being sent to the penitentiary for
term ranging up to three years.
Every support must be given to
make the Scottsboro mass meeting
on Sunday, Jan. 10th, at the Star
Casino a success as an expression of
protest against the terror of the
bosses.

ANTI WAR YOUTH
FOR MED
INCOMPETENCE
Sc Youth Bodies Are
Represented at The
Anti-Wa Confab

NEW YORK.-One hundred and
thirty-three delegates from Sc Or
CARNATIONS representing a total
membership of 1000 young workers
and students met in conference last
Sunday in order to establish a per-
manent organization of the youth to
fight against war. This conference
endorsed the rally that is being held
under the auspices of the Young
Communist League on Friday, Jan,
is. at 7:30 pm. at the New Star
Casino, 10TH st. and Park Ave.
In presenting the report OF the
Provisional Committee, William Al
bertson showed that war under cap
italism is inevitable and that it
therefore. is necessary to organize
now against war. The existence Of
the Soviet Union and the building
OF Socialism is making it imperative
for the imperialist powers to launch
an attack on the Workers Father
land. He showed that pacifism is
dangerous since 1t offers no solution
to war and only tends to create the
illusion that war can be abolished
under capitalism. In that way the
masses will be unprepared to fight
against the war and support the
Soviet Union.
Delegate after delegate spoke in
the discussion of the necessity for
o.ganjzing against war Immediately.
Delegates from two Negro Y. NJ.
C. AS. one Y. NJ. II. A. and from
shops that sent delegations spoke.
To Fight War Moves.
The Conference passed resolutions
on the nature of war under CAPT
talism, and the necessity of organ
izing the youth against it. The
name Of the organization is to be the
Anti-War Yout hLeague. Ae resolu-
ton demanding the release of the
Scottsboro boys was passed.
A resolution wa Spassed welcoming
Tom MONEYS Acceptance of the hon
orary Craftsmanship of the Counter
Olympic Committee and demanding
his immediate release. The commit
tee Of II that was elected to make
plans to communicate to the organ
izations to be affiliated was in
structed to draw up resolutions in
support of the struggle of the Irish
masses against British imperialism,
for support of the struggle of the
Kentucky miners, to protest against
the reign of terror and support the
struggle Of the Polish masses against
fsScism in that country. The con-
ference greeted the anniversary OF
the Daily Worker and pledged its
support in the fight against the ban
ming of the Young Worker.
The resolution on the Anti-Wal
Committee to the Conference closed
with This Anti-War Youth Con-
ference In New York, composed OF
delegates of a6 clubs, resolves to fight
against any attempt of the govern
nent to start or to be involved in
any war. We are opposed to the
mass militarization of youth in prep
aration for bosses wars. We further
favor that these huge sums spent
yearly on armament be turned over
for immediate relief and social in
surance for the unemployed without
any discrimination against the I'M
employed youth"

She has brought with her several sug- gestions from Dr Julius Klein of the department fo commerce, aimed at remedying the epidemic of copying that has long been prevalent.
 Government interest in this matter is easy to understand.
 Mrs Barr explains when it is realized that twelve and c half per cent of the entire population of Paris is employed in the mafiufac- ture of women's clothes not count ing the manufacture Of accessories. In New York city alone, the same branch of business reaches | total Of $500, 900. 900 every year.
