Demand He Get Treat
ment in Hospital
By ]. LAPITOS.

NEW YORK. - Frank Johns, q
Negro worker, unemployed, facing
starvation, with no place to sleep,
went to the Municipal lodging house
at 2lst St. and LIST Ave, New York.
He stayed there for several days and
then he was chased out. This worker
went to look for some other place and
went to the Salvation Army. He was
chased from there also, and collapsed
of hunger.
An ambulance was called from the
st. Catherine Hospital to give him
first aid. When the ambulance ar
rived, they refused to take him to
the hospital, but instead they took
him to the police station TO lock him
up for vsgrancy.
The workers of the Williamsburg
Unemployed Council protested against
the action of the hospital authorities
and police and told them that he
needed medical treatment and food
instead of jail. Then another ambu-
lance came from Kings County Hos
pital and took him away to the
hospital,

their routing of scabs to come to this
affair.

ing-also a program of entertain
ment, which will include wrestling
match by members of the Labor

COUNCIL WINS
ACTION FOR 5
Expose Fake Block Aid
Plan to Workers

NEW YORK.-The Downtown I'm
employed Council continues with its
record of winning relief for unem-
ployed workers every day.
Yesterday families who as indi-
viduals had been refused relief by
the Home Relief Bureau, though in
desperate circumstances, received i'm
mediate attention when accompanied
by committees from the Unemployed
Council.
One Of the cases, Mrs. P. Rothber-
ger, 726 E. 9Th Street, had been reg
istered at the bureau for some time,
was about to be evicted and had no
food in the house for her three chill
dren.
The council also held an open air
meeting in front of the block aid Of
flee at First Street and Avenue A to
expose their fake purpose to the
workers.
1.-THE block aid scheme, said a
speaker to the workers crouding
around to hear him, lis a plan set
up by the bosses to bleed the work
ers of their last penny and to lead
them away from organizing and
fighting for immediate, adequate re-
lief and unemployment insurance"
Many workers who had been wait
ing to get in the Home Relief Bu-
reau across the street listened to the
speaker call on them to organize as
the only method to win relief, point
ing to the many victories of the I'M
employed council as proof of the
power Of organization against indi-
vidual action.
The Downtown Council has made
an important change in its work by
its decision to have new and mex
perienced workers form the commit
tees going to the charities. This will
give valuable experience to fresh
workers and develop more leaders.

THREATEN RENT
s TR IKE WITH
IN JU N CTION
Landlords Desperate;
Tenants to Fight Even
If Granted

NEW YORK-The landlord of the
five houses on Longfellow Ave-, Bronx,
where the tenants are striking for
lower rents, has resorted to last
desperate measure to break the strike.
He has applied for an injunction with
clauses so sweepin gas to take away
from the tenants and workers the
most elementary rights in their fight
for better conditions.
He asks that the tenants be stopped
not only from picketing but even
from talking to other tenants about
organizing against the exorbitant
rents. He Wanst the court to stop
the tenants from distributing leaflets,
holding meeting or even publishing
statements concerning their activities.
In short he asks for a complete
abridgement of the constitutional
laws that the bosses ask the workers
to hold so sacred, but which the
bosses violate without conjunction
when their profits are threatened.
The injunction denies all the right of
free speech, free assemblage, ETC.,
guaranteed in the constitution.
Furthermore, in his application the
landlord resorts to falsehoods con-
crening the activities of the tenants.
He says, for instance, that the work
ers rioted in front of the house. as
If it were the workers and not the
squads of Tammany police called by
the landlord who carried through
assaults.
Let the workers and others note
that there are no injunctionS issued
against wage cuts, unemployment,
starvation, high rents, and all the
burdens imposed on the workers and
toiling masses by the bosses, but the
moment the toiling masses rise to
fight these burdens, the biSSes imme-
diately resort to this most vicious
weapon against them.
The contents of this application for
an injunction should arouse every
tenant and worker at what is direct
blow at his right to organize and
fight against the bosses, bankers and
landlords, The granting of this in
junction by the Tammany court will
be another record for the workers to
remember of the twin identity of the
court and the bosses.
The tenants state that, injunction
or no injunction, they are determine
to continue and carry on their rem.
strike for lower rents. They call OIL
all tenants who have won theil
strikes and sympathetic tenants to
rally with them in a fight in which
they have a common interest. A
blow at the tenants in one house is
blow at the struggle for lower rents
in another, and blow at the entire
working class.

Landlord Ready to
Be StOOl-Pigeon to
Break Strike

NEW YORK.-William Grassi, the
landlord of 1888 Arrow Ave-, failing in
numerous tricks to break the strike
for lower rents in the house, has now
threatened to resort to despicable
act against three of the tenants.
He has informed three widows in
the rent strike that unless they aban-
don the strike he will have their sons,
their only support, fired from their
jobs by informing their employers
that the workers are "blosheviks."
The rich landlord is now about to
plpay the role of a cheap stool pigeon.
These threats have aroused the rest
of the house, and three tenants who
previously were not in the strike have
now joined.
A protest demonstration has been
planned by the tenants.

CONFERENCE TO
FIGHT BLOCK
AID" FAKE SCHEME
Expose 1t AS Move to
Mobilize for War

NEW YORK. - To expose the
'Block-Aid" system of the bosses
an dto organize workers block COM
mittees, the Unemployed Council is
organizing a unietd front conference
for Sunday, April 3, 2 pm, at the
Workers Center, 1918 Pitdn Avenue.
An appeal sent out to workers or
CARNATIONS reads, in part:
The Emergency Relief Committee
is threatening to close the Home Re
lief Burroughs in April and to dump
the entire responsibility for the I'M
employed and starving workers on
the backs Of the workers who are
still unemployed The Block Com
munity Organization, which is receiv-
ing wide publicity in every boss news
paper, is intended to be a means of
shifting this burden on the workers
on every block. This block aid
organization is not only a farce as
far as relieving the misery of the I'M
employed is concerned but it is
intended to use this organization as
a means of registering the militant
workers for special persecution and
keeping a check-up on the workers,
especially the foreign-borp.
In the Red Book, issued by the
state government in Albany for the
year of 1917, under the chapter New
York Modified for War;" an explana-
tion Of the Home Defense Committee
shows the real character Of the Block
Community organization of 1882, since
this organization is an exact dupli-
cate of the Home Defense Committee
of 1917 Combine this organization
with the recent order of 100000
draft blanks by the U. S. government
and it will be easy to see what kind
of crisis the bosses have in mind
when they say in their leafet,
"BlOck-Aiders therefore become a
group Of selected leaders to whom
New York would turn in any crisis.
Our answer must be: A whole net
work of real block committees of the
Unemployed Council in every work
ing class block in this section, which
will force relief from the bosses and
the government, and which the bosses
will find impossible to suppress.

SOVIET CHILDREN
BRILLIANT, SAYS
ARIST0CRAT
Outstrip Children In
Capitalist Countries

NEW YORK. that AM
erican and British children become
little more than imbeciles when COM
pared with children of the same age
in Soviet Russia" the Baroness Ray
ensdale, eldest daughter of Lord Cur
zon, in lecture to the members of
the Women's City Club at % Park
Avenue, here. outlined the mighty
achievements of the Soviet Union in
educating the children of the work
ers there.
Expressing her complete bewilder-
ment at the remarkable advances of
the Soviet Union in the sphere of
child education and care, the baro-
ness admitted that she had no idea
what this tremendous training of the
young brain would bring to Soviet
children in after years"
THE children of the Soviet" she
continued, ARE definite entities.
They are citizens and somehow you
do not feel the precociousness about
them that would characterize the
advanced British or American child.
They seem to possess and to ex-
press the articulate convictions of
their souls. They have the most
extraordinary developed brains
have ever known"
Citing various instances of the
mental maturity Of Soviet children
and their ability to discuss the most
advanced political and social prob
lens, the baroness admitted that heI
impression of the Soviet child leo
irreSistably to the conclusion thai
they would carry through the Soviet
program.
Although she went into raptures
over what was being accomplished
in the Soviet Union, the baroness
purposely omitted any mention Of the
horrible starvation, misery, illiteracy
and disease Of children under cap
italism.
With equal forethought, this aris-
tocratic lecturer failed to point out
that the huge forward strides made
by the children of the Soviet Union
over their former standing under the
Tzars and over the position of the
workers child under capitalism was
due entirely to the fact that the
workers and poor farmers of the
Soviet Union had kicked out the
bosses and landlords and set up a
proletarian dictatorship. The Soviet
workers live under a government run
by the workers and for the workers
and not for the profits and interests
Of the capitalists, landlords and their
pampered children.
