AID BUR0 TRIES TO
DEPORT NEGRO
Tries to Ship Him to
Terror-Ridden Ga.

NEW YORK.-What is an attempt
to deport to the South an unem-
ployed Negro worker, became evident
Thursday when Norman Smith, OF
228 West 124th St., reported to the
Upper Harlem Unemployed Council,
that the Home Relief Buro had de-
manded that he leave the city and go
to terror ridden Georgia. The brutal
system OF torture against the Negro
people i'll this state is now being ex-
posed serially in the Daily Worker
(see page a..
Norman Smiths wife, Mrs. EstelIe
Smith, died ON November 10 of star
walton, and was buried after a mass
funeral by the Unemployed Council.
AT the funeral her husband was
elected as a delegate in the National
Hunger March to Washington on
December 5th.
The workers OF Harlem have fought
to get Seme help for Comrade Smith,
who has four children and who has
been out of work since early in 1929.
This is the main reason why the
charity organizations are anxious to
get rid OF this worker.
Comrade Smith reported that
shortly after the funeral q worker
from the Social Service Bureau Of
the Harlem Hospital told him she
had been at the funeral and had in
her possession a copy Of che leaflet
exposing the way in which Comrade
Estelle had been starved to death.
The social worker said: iii the Home
Relief Buro finds out about this there
will be hell"
On Wednesday worker from the
Home Relief visited Coinrade Smith
and said that he ought to leave New
York. He explained that he had only
one relative, in Savannah, Georgia,
who was in the same straits as he
himself. The visitor said that "the
Home Relief will pay your trans
portation and get you out of here"
Many other Negro unemployed
workers, notably in New Jersey and
Connecticut, have received these
mild invitations to go back South
to starvation and lynching. The tin
yitatoh" is invariably accompanied
by the cutting off of relief. In one
case, q jobless Negro worker in New
Haven was kidnapped by the relief
agencies and shipped South.
The Unemployed Council will fight
for relief for Comrade smith and his
family, and against his deportation

RICHMOND, Ind,-Last April, just
before Chief Ray and his thugs
broke up the Workers Center, The
organizer Of the Unemployed Coan-
Gil was married. Previous to this he
had been received an order at $3.50
the allowance received by all the
single men who get anything. When
he asked to have his order in
creased he was told that he had no
business getting married. He and his
wife are still existing on this stsrya-
ton allowance.
The other day Banford Cohee APP

which is being re organized, for as
sistance. Last winter he received a
single mans order. Receiving tenn

Harry Reeves and asked him to re-
move his name from the list. He
has now been out OF work again for
the past five weeks.
In the meantime he has married
q woman who had also been gettine

married, they are both denied any

When Mr.. Cohee asked old mar

Protests Eviction;

CHESTER, Pa.-The Unemployed
Council, in investigating conditions
In Chester, have TO date stopped
nearly hundred evictions: has help
ed hundreds of others to obtain relief,
and helped the victims Of the powers
that be in numerous other ways.
1t is composed Of thousands OF
members and sympathizers. One case
OF eviction that is typical OF the me-
thods used, is seen in the case Of one
of our comrades. In the presence of
three or four. hundred witnesses, she
protested against tho eviction of a
family Of colored people, whose fur
nitMe was about to be sold for the
small sum of four or five dollars. She
was Immediately handcuffed and
taken to Jail, like common thief or
murderer.
In court she was denied even the
formality of a trial, and was bonded
over in $1,000 to keep the peace. But
she won the battle. The family was
not evicted. They still live in the
same house.
1t is interesting that wherever the
Unemployed Council interfered in an
eviction case, there has never been
an eviction. 1t goes to show plainly
what organized action accomplishes.

Relief Cut in
Hazelhurst; Workers
Must Organize

HAzELHURST, Pa.-Conditions OF
the workers here are steadily getting
worse, relief is being cut down, many
are getting as little as $3.50 every two
weeks.
County Commissioner W. Fl. Hal
peny cut off all relief here from Oct
IA to Nov. l. At the window-glass
factory in Mt. Jewett Pa, which Is
three miles West of here, workers are
being put on to work for nothing, and
are led to believe that after they learn
the work, there might be Job with
pay, but of course there never Is.
A short time ago, Mr.. E. Black OF
the Hazelhurst Water Co. shut the
water off Of worker with - in
the family.
I talk with the workers here every
day. They have plenty of complaints
about the rotten conditions, but I'D
until now have not been able to do
much with them in an organizational
way. However, they are now starting
to listen, and I think that in the near
future, we will have some good results
to report to you.

Family Lives in
Empty Coal Bin
No Light or Heat

NEW YORK CITY. - There are
two children in my family, one two
and half years, the other six months
old, my husband and myself. We are
Spanish workers, unemployed and We
have found out what liberty and pa
triotism means in these free United
States.
Six months ago, when my baby was
born, we were living in four room
apartment. A friend loaned us $50
This went and still we have moi
found work. So we were evicted. Our
furniture was on the street and
stolen. My eldest boy was so starved
he was biting my arms.
The Unemployed Council came TO
help me and forced the Home Re-
lief Bureau to give me a relief check.
We went into a furnisfd room. Our
landlord did not like to take Home
Relief checks, so we were again
evicted. Now the Home Relief says
that they can do nothing for us. They
terTorized my husband, telling him
that if he worked with the Unem-
ployed Council, he would be de-
ported.
Now. comrades, we are living In a
cellar in empty coal bin. There is
no electricity, gas, sunlight or heat.
A cornrade who is living in one fur
nished room with two adults and four
children gives us little food. I
know that conditions for the poor all
over Harlem are about the same. we
have no clothes, I have the grippe
and my baby Is sick, but I have
learned my lesson and appeal to all
you Spanish workers to- join the
Unemployed Councils. We must unite
and fight against our enemies who
fool us. We must all support the
National Hunger March for relief
and unemployment insurance.

The police threw them into a patrol
wagon, then changed their minds
again and took them out and held
them four hours in the detention
station.

reached the White House, and thou

on hand also The police drove every
body away, pushing and punching the
frail children with their clubs. Some
of the children were chased all over
Washington by police on foot and in
cars. Some refused to move at all
from the White House, and finally
the police were forced to pay their
car fare back to the Workers Center.
Another arrest was made: Theodore
Richards.
All the children finally assembled
at the Workers Center, adopted
resolution denouncing the attack on
them, demanding release of those
arrested, and pledging their parents

take up their demands
While the meeting and supper were
going on, the group of Spokesman
taken TO the detention home were

POLITICAL PRISONERS ON
HUNGER-STRIKE

BERLIN (By MaiD THE sharpen
Ing Of the regulations governing the
conditions Of political prisoners In
Germany which came into operation
on the LIST Of November has now
led TO big hunger strike on the part
of the proletarian political prisoners.
on Tuesday morning the hunger
strike began in Bielefeld prison when
six prisoners, including the former
Rsichswelir Lieutenant, Scheringer,
went on strike. twenty-five prole-
tartan poIiticals are also on hunger
strike in Wesermuende, IS in Berge-
doff, and 40 in Gross-Strelitz
The category of prisoners affected
is that of the so-called fortress pris-
oners. The new regulations prae-
tieally abolish the difference between
normal Imprisonment and imprison-
1aent in fortress and represent in
fact ain intensificatioh of the sem
fences passed. The proletarian po-
litieal prisoners in Halle prison have
gone on strike in sympathy. Fortress
terms are no longer served in fort
resses, but in prisons where, however,
up to she present, the prisoners with
formtress terms enjoyed special priv
ileges, including periodical leave.
The bourgeois press reports that a
''prison revolt under leadership Of
Ex-Lieutenant Seheringer has taken
place in Bielefeld. The striking pris-
oners are said to have smashed up
the furniture of their cells and
smashed up various utensils. Great
crowds gathered outside the prison
and demonstrated their sympathy
with the prisoners. The revolt has
been crushed with difficulty by the
warders without outside assistance.
This is the report Of the bourgeois
press. Up to the moment there is no
authentic confirmation of these re-
ports and the truth of the revolt" is
probably very different.
