CONTINUED FROM FACE ONE,

ployment relief. Twenty thousand
families have been cut off from
any relief in New York city alone.
3. While this sentence Of slow
starvation and death has been
put over by the banks, and the
Senate-with the House Of Rep
resentatives sure to pass the twin
bill Of the same nature-the La
Toilette Committee of the Senate,
and the Herbert Committee Of
the Senate, are still "investigat-
ing" unemployment in the United
States.
4. Father" Cox, supported by
big industrial corporations like
the steel trust, employing hun
dreds OF thousands Of foreign
born and Negro workers, by the
American Legion and other faS-
cist organizations, has been hailed
In Washington with open arms
by Hoover and Congress as har-
binger Of the joyous tidings that
there exists the possibility Of d.
recting struggles of many unem-
ployed workers into harmless neu-
trail channels, or into active oppo-
sition OF a fascist character to
their own interests, and in the in
terests Of the Hoover Wall street
government, the banks, industrial
corporations and railways, etc.
5. In Chicago the police and
gangsters have just carried out
another brutal attack upon the
Unemployed Council and unem-
ployed workers demonstrating for
relief. Scores have been arrested,
scores were dubbed. Negroes were
again singled out for attack,
6. In Kentucky almost the en-
tire strike leadership has been ar
rested and charged with criminal
syndicalisrn. They are actually
denied bail since only cash bail
is to be accepted and when the
stipulated 5000 cash bail is Of
tered, the amount is raised. No
property bail is accepted. It Is
clear that the whole scheme is
one for decapitating the strike
and suppressing the struggle
against wage cuts and hunger by
the Kentucky miners and their
families.

Mass Misery.
