Advice from a
New York Worker

NEW YORK, - I met a neatly
dressed old timer at 18th and Sth
Ave, carrying a handbag. He put
down his bag, rubbed his hands to-
gether, and inquired the way to New
Rochelle. I tried to give him direc-
ton by subway and train. mo, no,
I'm walking. Been walking from Bal
timore since fourteen days ago. Got
a couple of dollars left but I've got
to save them" He wouldn't ask any
one for carfare. Said he had friends
and relatives in New Rochelle, and
thinks he can manage. We hope so
old-timer, but If you don't make out
you'll have the opportunity to fight
for relief right now. You can join
the National Hunger March going in
the opposite direction you came from
on to Washington.

ATTACK ON COMMUNIST PARTY
PLANNED,
PRAGUE (By Mail) After having
prohibited numerous working class
mass organizations the Czechoslova-
kan bourgeoisie is now apparently
to try conclusions directly with the
Communist Party. The Public Pro-
secutor demands that the Czechoslo-
vakian parliament withdraw the i'm
nunity Of the Communist deputy Ha-
ken in order to permit his arrest and
trial ON charge Of high treason and
conspiracy against the republic. Ac-
cording to the authorities these
crimes have been committed by
deputy Haken, Gin that he, as a
member of the Central Committee of
the Communist Party of Czechoslov-
aka, did proclaim the theses and de-
oiSions of the Second Congress OF the
Communist International in Moscow
in 1920, that he did appeal to all the
members of the Communist Party to
carry out these theses and decisions.
and did give the district and other
organizations of the Communist
Party instructions to this effect"
It Is clear that this is test case
aimed at securing a judgement on
the basis Of which the authorities
can prohibit the Communist Party,
If not at once, then at any convenient
moment later. This impression is
heightened by the fact that the au-
thorities admit that they have no
evidence against Conrade Haken in
particular and that he has been
chosen because his membership of
the Central Committee lays him open
to the suspicion Of high treason. The
authorities quote in particular the
famous 81 conditions for admission
to the Communist International. The
central organ of the Czechoslovakian
Communist Party, "Rude Pravo"
points out that these conditions are
binding on all Communists and that

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. 28.-Col-
umn of the National Hunger March,
consisting now of over 100 delegates
from Northern New York, spent last
night in Syracuse without interfer-
ence by the police. That is a tribute
to the struggles waged during the year
by the local jobless and part time
workers, because last year the ma
tional hunger march was attacked by
Syracuse police and had to fight for
the right to enter the town.
The column left Rochester yester-
day morning followed to the city
limits by procession of autos loaded
by sympathetic workers of Rochester,
who stood waving and cheering at the
city limits until the Column was out
Of sight.

a big show of taking down the il

mandS. The City Council made up of

submit to the demands of the work
ers. 1t was learned that immediately
after the meeting, the Reading mayor
took off the road gang on the hill
telling them that this ork (neaning

at once because there is too much
kick raised about it. The crew re-
modelling the old city hall at the rate
OF five cents an hour was also taken

"We denounce your action compel

tional Hunger March to remain 20
hours without food and exposed to
freezing weather by forcibly prevent
ing their entry to Kalamazoo where
workers had food and shelter pre-
pared for them. This act of malice
shows you have less regard for the
unemployed than for animals. The
workers of Michigan and Of the entire
country hold you responsible for any
illness that may result for any dele
gates who suffered through your ac-
ton.
Keep hands off accredited repre-
sentatives of the toilers in their fur

call upon the workers in all cities
of Michigan to denounce your unpro-
voked attack on the Hunger March
ers through militant mass demonstra-
tons on Dec. when the demands
of the unemployed will be presented
to Congress"
The resolution was also endorsed
by the National Committee Of the

St. Joseph Building Trades
Condemn Convict Quarries

The Building Trades Council of
Jefferson City, Mo-, protested against
practice of state penitentiary officials
in using convicts in competition with
free labor in that city.
The council declared the prison Off
cials are operating quarry IN JEFF
ferson City and delivering crushed
rock at $1.10 per yard, which it was
stated is below actual cost to en-
ployers of free labor. As result
other quarries are being closed or
operated on part time, with unem-
ployment for many of the employees.
The council charged that convicts
are paid five cents a day, while free
labor receives 45 cents an hour for
the same class of work. The free la
Dor quarries deliver crushed rock at
$3.50 per yard and cannot compete
with prison quarry prices of $1.10
per yard.
