NEW BRUNSWICK
,JOBLESS PREPARE
FOR FEBRUARY 4

Even though the Community Chest
and all the other boss agencies in
the city Of New Brunswick, N. j., pro-
claim Nobody starves in our city,,
the unemployed are taking no
chances. And with plenty Of justifi-
cation.
About two weeks ago the Unem-
ployed Council of this city demon
strated before the County Court
House to expose the faker Freeholders
who we're holding an open meeting on
the county budget. After the demon
stration the Council met and at this
meeting it received news of five FAM
lilies actually starving. There were five
children in one family who were abb
solutely destitute and their mother
sick in bed
Immediately committee Of six was
elected to go to The poormaster for re-
isl 70 tlc needy and doctor for the
sick.
At City Hall the committee was told
che poormaster was out. But the
chief of police was in, and he chased
all six committeeman to the street.
The committee was determined to
obtain relief for the destitute. 1t went
to the Community Chest Headquar-
tiers. Twelve clerks we're in the office
working" They informed the COM
mittee that the lady" in charge"
was out to lunch.
Determined upon definite action,
the committee refused to be put off
or bluffed. So the committee was re-
ferred to the assistant" head lady.
This one also tried to put off the
committee and got angry when the
workers demanded relief, not words.
Nobody is starving in New Bruins
wick" this assistant said haughtily.
But there are five families actually
dying of starvation that we know OFF,
the committee insisted. A heated ar
gument ensued and this lady who is
fattened by the money contributed by
workers for the relief of workers had
the committee elected.
There were many other workers
seeking relief at the headquarters
These joined the elected committee
and marched with thin to the IN
employed Council where they got a
real sandwich and not cup Of coffee.

Twenty-One Former
Socialists Join
Communist Party

The extent to which the workers
still in the ranks of the Socialist
Party are recognizing the true role
of that organization as another
capitalist party, and the extent to
which they are coming over into
the party Of revolutionary strug-
gle, the Communist Party, is seen
in the fact that q workers who
were formerly membres of the So
ciaHst Party have joined the Com
munist Party during the course of
the Recruiting Drive. This num-
Der includes only the two cities of
Boston and Cleveland.

Bakers United Front Committee was
opened on March 10th, at 8 P. M
Official delegation of local 500, and
representatives of every local of the
A. F. of L. and A. F. w. were present.
Many visitors attended the meeting
to listen to the proceedings.
Many rank and file workers asked
questions, as well as participated In
the discussion, among whom was
Fellow Worker Pollack. After the

FLOOR SCRAPERS
GO ON STRIKE
AGAINST PAY CUT

NEW YORK.-The floor scrapers
of the Self Mechanics Flooring Co.,
corner Park Ave. and E. 126th ST.,
striking against a 25 per cent wage
cut will open the eighth week Of
strike Monday, March 81, despite the
bosses schemes, lies, police and in
junction, mobilized to defeat the
strikers. While the boss class court
naturally gave the boss an injunction
against the strikers, the frame-up
against the workers was so open that
the judge was compelled to admit
their right to picket.
Just as tht boss lied in court against
the strikers, so he is rising the same
method by posting in the shop win
dows signs claiming there is no strike
and that the wages paid were $50 to
S45 per week. The STRIKERS are carry
ing signs exposing this lie stating the
facts which are that the wages for
months past were from SO to $13 per
week and that the boss tried to cut
Is per cent off these miserable star
vation wages. The strikers chal-
lenge the bosses of the Self Mechanics
Flooring to disprove these statements.
The strikers realize that by increas-
ing their efforts in the next few
weeks when the boss can be made to
feel the effects of the strike even
more than ever, he can be forcd to
withdraw the wage cut. One step in
this intensification of the struggle is
the big mass picket march to be held
Monday March 81, at 7:30 am. in
which all unemployed members of the
Building and Construction Workers
Industrial League and sympathizers
IRE urged to take part.
The leading committee Of the
league points out that this strike of
the floor scrapers has an important
connection with the PREPARATIONS for
a mass strike in the entire building
construction industry against the
wage cut of 25 per cent to 40 per cent
and therefore all possible support
should be given to this strike, espe-
cially by building trades workers. All
unemployed members of the Building
and Construction Workers Industrial
League and synpathizers are urged
to be on the picket line at Park Ave.
and 126th st. Monday, March 81, at
