Eva Hoffman Tells Of
Child Dead of Hunger

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 18.-Eva
Hoffman, 58-year old veteran in the
Boston working class movement and
Communist candidate for State
Treasurer, threw a bombshell into
the well-dressed audience of women
comprising the Springfield League of
Women Voters when she presented
the Communist election program be-
fore them in a meeting Monday.
The Springfield Women Voters
League had issued call to 35 state
candidates of the 3 boss parties and
one candidate on the workers ticket
of the Communist Party.
The speech of the Communist
candidate presented a very sharp
contrast to the capitalist candidates
who came, dressed in the height of
fashion, and introduced themselves,
giving their college and other bust
ness pedigrees and assuring the bos-
ses that they would serve them to the
best of their ability.
None, but Hoffman dealt with The

EVICTEDWORKER'S
HOUSE TORN DOWN
Detroit Workers Beat
Off Cops Attack

DETROIT, Michigan, Sept. 10
North Detroit, the scene of eviction
struggles in which thousands of
workers have fought police to pro-
tect workers and their families from
being thrown into the streets, saw
another militant struggle when over
thousand workers defended a Pol
ish family who were being evicted.
When police attacked the workers
they defended themselves with ropes
and sticks and drove the uniformed
gangsters off.
The mass indignation aroused by
the attack of the police led to the
workers bringing axes and crowbars
to the house and tearing 1t down No
arrests were made.
On nearby street another group
of workers protesting against the
eviction of worker were severely
beaten by police In both evictions
the workers were small home owners
who were forced to buy their homes
by the Ford and other gigantic cor
porations.

IN EVICTION FIGHT
DetroitWorkers Resist
Eviction for A Days

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 18-Three
thousand workers, many of them
Negroes, engaged in an eviction
struggle with the police for four days
in an attempt to prevent the evic-
ton of a white worker living on
Theodore st.
After workers led by the Unem-
ployed Council had put the frni-
ture back into the house, police
threw it into the streets again and
then barricaded themselves in the
house. When the workers again at
tempted to put the furniture back
the police opened fire, wounding a
boy. The detectives were SO intent
on the shooting that one of them
shot another. AS they fired the po-
lice threatened to kill. A machine
gun faced the crowd of workers from
one of the windows.
A number of workers were arrested,
including two Negro workers and
Lonnie Williams, brother of Curtis
williams, one of the victims Of the
Ford Hunger March.
While the above struggle was TAX
ing place, demonstrations we're being
held by workers in neighborhood
a few blocks distant in protest
against the eviction of an ex-service-

DEMAND RELIEF
Hold Meeting Despite
Police Ban

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1S.-NIore
than 1900 workers demonstrated here
near Councilman Frankenfeld's home
for immediate relief despite the re-
vosation by the police of a permit
that they had previously granted for
the meeting.
The demonstration was the larg-
est ever held in West Philadelphia
and was under the leadership of the
Unemployed Council
When the first speaker mounted
the platform, police tried to break
through and arrest him but they
were repulsed by a defense guard
which formed solid front around
the speaker.
The police tried a second time to
arrest the speaker but were again re-
pulsed by the workers.
The workers then elected a COM
mittee of three to question Council
man Frankenfeld on his activities in
the City Council in behalf of the un-
employed.
The committee was headed by
Clay, Negro worker who is Commu-

Such are the A. F. of L. leaders
who deliver the labor vote" to the
political machines Of which they are
a part. Usually, as we have seen TO
be the case in New York and New
Jersey, the A. F. of L. is part of the
locally dominant machine; so, too,
in upstate New York and in Phil
adelphia, where the republicans are
in power, the A. F. Of Z. leaders are
their staunch allies. Some times, as
in Chicago, where the political wind
blows sometimes this way and some
times that, the AFL leaders find it
expedient to divide their forces. some

Ccrmak, while the rest hang on to
the Big Bill Thompson machine.
Typical of Thompson's henchmen is
oscar Nelson, vice president Of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, who
candidly admitted that it was his
Federation Office that made him a
delegate to the recent republican
convention; then Nelson sought to
place in nomination the banker and
mouthpiece for business, Charles
G. Dawes! And the only reason he
didn't was that pressure brought him
back in line and he voted for Hoo
yer! A funny example Of the NON

tisements in the Chicago Fedora
tons organ last year. One page
claimed that boss Thompson was
friend of labor" and was signed by
the Cook County Wage Farmers
League headed by Nelson. The other
page stated that organized labor
was for Tony Cermak," and was
signed by the "Cermak Union Labor
Club" headed by Victor Olander, sec
rotary treasurer of the Illinois Fed

friends of labor" nevertheless the
workers of Chicago starve without

protest.

1t is time to break up this unholy

which keeps them at the mercy Of
the capitalist class. The A. F.. of L.
official political policy, as William

ganically looked to the capitalist
class" Every member of every
American Federation of Labor peion
should ask himself this question.
Should he vote for the candidates Of
the bankers and the manufacturers,
Just because his union officials tell
him to? Or should he join with the
workers-employed and unemployed
in united front in support of the
candidates of the working class? The
answer is VOTE COMMUNIST
