10000 Santiago state railway work

Yesterday, in summary of the shortcomings in
our struggle for workers unemployment insurance at
fall wages and the program of demands for immediate
relief, we said:
"Agitational and propaganda literature of the
finest kind remains in the print shop. Districts do
not place their orders for this iterature-sO that
the inertia of the center and districts results in
cumulative checking of the struggles for which hun

and industrial corporations taking advantage of the
terrible misery that prevails now, and that has been
intensified by the shutting off of the miserable

BANKS ORDER
RELIEF CUT IN
ALL CITIES
Morgan-Hoover Group
Lay Down Hunger
Policy
Rally on February 4th
Workers Must Take-up
Sharper Struggles

NEW YORK.-With 79 So
called "home relief stations"
closed and the Tammany adj
ministration admitting that
hundreds of thousands of I'M
employed face unprecedented des-
tuition" Mayor Walker met yester-
day with Morgan & Co, and other
bankers, planning ways Of cutting
down on all relief in order to leave
more profits for the bankers and
graft for Tammany Hall
The difficulty started when the
city administration asked for a
500, 100000 loan, part Of which was
to go supposedly for unemployment
relief. Tamnlany Hall, in order to
keep its political machine intact, re-
quires certain amount for graft for
its henchmen and dribbles OF relief
for selected few.
With city finances IN difficult
shape, the bankers saw al opportu-
nifty to demand concessions, the first
being to eliminate all relief, and the
second being to increase street car
fare SO that the bankers can rake in
about s19,000,0o0 more yearly from
both employed and unemployed who
are forced TO use the subways TO look
for jobs.
The bankers who determine the
city relief policy, with the aid OF
Walker, are the same ones who
back the Hoover hunger regime and
are the decisive orces in the United
States government. These banks
are:
J. P. Morgan 81 Co., Guaranty
Trust Company, Bank OF Manhattan
Trust Company, National City Bank
of New York, Bankers Trusts Com
pany, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the
Chase National Bank.
Senator Copeland, TO whom Walk
er wired asking to have the matter
taken up by tn eSenate. admitted
that thousands are starving and that
the sham of city relief was put up
to stop a federal dole" Copeland
in a special statement said:
"The President and all others in
authority have said that there can't
be government dole and that the
localities must take care OF them
selves. There are 100000 out Of
work in New York City. The Board
of Estimate there has appropriated
$40, 100000 to relieve the distress
caused by this unemployment. II
the city can't get the money to carry
out its relief program, the only al
tentative Is the dole.
There is the same situation In
Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.
I believe that similar conditions exist
in virtually every city in the United
States"
Most Of the $4,000 900 in so-called
relief was to go for graft.
The situation in New York faces

NEW YORK. - Charging

Unemployment Insurance is at

the representatives of the Or

in the United States, Herbert
Benjamin, secretary of the Ma
tional Committee of the Unem-
ployed Councils of the u. S.,
today wired Senator Herbert, chair
man of this Senate Committee, de-
manding a right to present the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill.
Your committee having failed
to hear the proposals of the only
direct representatives for unem-
ployment insurance, the hundreds
OF thousands of unemployed VINO
were represented in the National
Hunger March," the telegram
reads, we therefore demand such
hearing be granted before you
report your findings"
"OnIy the Workers Unempioy-
ment Insurance Bill, adopted by
1870 delegates In the National
Hunger Marchc provides for a sys-
tenn of unemployment insurance
that meets the needs of the H.
100000 totally jobless and the over
100000 workers on part time
work. Our delegation will appear
before your committee at such
time as you set to explain our bill
and to demand its enactment"
This senate committee has beer
holding hearings for some time, the
last one having been held on Dec
10th. A report was prepared which
was to be rushed through quietly. A
letter written by Senator Hebert to
Herbert Benjamin tries to justify the
exclusion of the representatives OF
the unemployed.
"If it be held that we would be
justified in delaying further the fill
ing of our report" says the Senator'S
letter, land the submission of such
tentative measures as we may re-
commend for enactment by Congress
we will then arrange a time when
you may be heard"
