Forced Labor on
Roads Win Free
Transportation
Action Committee For
ces Concessions

BELLINGHAM, Wash.--A Com
nittee of Action Of road workers from
three different crews who are doing
forced labor for the County Relief,
placed a demand for free transport
alton with George Elder, road super
intendent, along with a demand for
the establishment Of several central
points located at convenient places
where workers can go to report for
road work instead of all being re-
quired to go to the court house each
work day.
Some of the workers had been
walking as much as five miles to the
county court house to report for
work. Then they would be taken by
county truck right back to a place
near their homes to work. This is
done in bad weather and the workers
have neither wet weather clothing,
nor car fare to ride on the street
cars because the county pays in script
at the miserably low rate Of 50 q day.
The group resolved itself into a
committee of action and proceeded to
the office of the road superintendent.
Elder told the crew that the city was
providing the transportation as its
part in the relief" program, and saw
no reason why free transportation
shouldn't be given them.
The committee placed demand
for the establishments of several CEN
tral points at convenient places
where the workers could go to re-
port for work.
Other grievances which were dis
cussed were: Free transportation for
those who are forced to go to the
commissary for groceries with the
small amount of script which is paid
for the county's forced labor pro-
gram; wet weather closing and new
shoes instead of old broken down,
worn out shoes which have been cast
off by those who aren't quite destit-
ute yet.
Unite in struggle against these mis-
cradle conditions. Form committees
of action and place your demands be-
fore the officials and insist on secur-
ing relief!

FIGHT SLAVERY
Sioux CityOfficials Are
for Forced Labor

SIOUX CITY, Ia.-LaSt week the
city and county officials brought for
ward plan to lay off city laborers
and replacs them with unemployed
workers. These workers are to re-
ceiYe the city 'scale" but not in
money. They are to receive grocery
orders ranging from $225 to $5.25,
depending on the size of the family.
All relief received in the past year
or two is to be charged up against
the worker and the bosses plan Is to
get forced labor out Of the workers.
If this plan goes through, all the
city workers now receiving wages will
be added to the army Of unemployed
workers. A demonstration was held
last week and the county commits
sioners promised to hold up on the
plan until joint committee of the
Unemployed Council, city and county
officials could meet on it. A date
was set for the meeting and the
board members failed to appear and
sent plea for postponement Of the
meeting. Another protest meeting
will be held. At the demonstration
last week, Comrade Kreiger was ar
rested but mass protest forced Nc
Bride, head of public safety to re-
lease him. Both employed and un-
employed workers are aroused over
the forced labor threat and mass
demonstrations of militant nature
will continue until the officials back
down on their plan

COMPANY THUGS
FRAME 0RLOFF
Way-Laid by Drunken
Guards; Defense Show


MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Nov. 90.
Before hostile court which re-
fused the defense to examine each
Juror separately, and before jury
which, for this reason, was picked
within a half hour, Attorney Shull-
man, defense council made his open
ing statement in defense of Joe Or
loft. Paid company thugs have al
ready testified in the attempt to con-
vict Orloff on charges of murder OF
a company guard. Shullman, in his
opening speech, tore to shreds the
case of the prosecution and told how
Orloff was forced to fight for his
very life in the face Of continuous
persecution and attacks by company
guards. Orloff's freedom will be de-
manded on the grounds of the rights
of an attacked man to defend him
self.
Tells Story Of Frame-Up
Shullman made brief review Of
the circumstances leading to the
framing of Orloff by the Mine Com
panies. Orloff vent on strike toge-
tber with other miners last summer.
Since that time the company guards
never ceased harrassing and threat
ening Orloff and other miners. The
attack on Orloff was engineered by
the coal company. Orloff was or
dered to move from the company
house q day before the fight which
led to the death of Jackson.
Guards Attacks OrIoff and Opeck
Opeck, another miner, offered to
help Orloff, and together they Sec
ured money and went to the super
intenGent to pay the rent. The sup
erintendent was not in, but on the
way back from his office, Orloff and
Opeck were way-laid by guards who
attacked them with clubs. Evidence
will be presented that the guards
were drunk. Opeck and Orloff tried
10 find refuge in the house of a neigh
Dor, but the house was locked. jack
son followed them to the porch and
attacked with his club. The two
miners did their best to defend them
selves from this deadly assault. In
the cause of the struggle the mine
guard was stabbed.
Quick Action Necessary
Mass meetings and kilograms of
protest must flood the Court of Judge
Baker in Morgantown, if Orloff's life
is to be saved.

This splendid victory of the jobless

proper organization and determine

and even when facing such savage

Minneapolis Monday, the workers
give a good account of themselves.
Last Monday another delegation to
the city council with 300 workers
demonstrating to back them up, went
to the Hamtramck city council and
brushed past police set at the en-
trance to the Welfare Departments
offices and filled the building with
workers shouting: 1--WE want food"
"We want clothing" The delegation
presented the cases of IA unemployed
workers who were not getting relief
and the city council promised food,

Large forces of police had mean

demonstrators with tear gas and
clubs, but they weren't scared and
finally marched out after their vic

which were lined with cheering
crowds.
