RELIEF FIGHT IN
OHIO STEEL TOWN
To Present Demands
to Niles Govt

NILES, Ohio, August 3o-Led by
the Steel and Metal Workers Indust-
rial Union and the Unemployed
Council, single workers of Niles are
organizing to demand increased re-
lief and improved conditions from
the City government. The present
food is miserably insufficient-con-
sisting of oatmeal, bread and coffee
for breakfast, and only soup for sup
per. For this, men have to work one
day a month free for the city.
A meeting of workers from the
Municipal Soup Kitchen worked cut
and unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing demands to be placed before
the city by a large committee with
in few days:
square meals a dayi soap for
washing; overallS for those working
on city jobs; underwear almost all
need underWear;) a place to stay
this winter; medical and dental aid
free; packs of tobacco and matches
weekly.
Out of population of about $4,000,
it is estimated that no less than 1000
are completely unemployed here,
with about 1900 on part time. The
Welfare claims that it has 900 faIni-
lies on its relief lists-sbut it is GER
tain that at least twice that number
are in urgent need of relief. The
relief" averages only S cents per
day per person in the families COW
i ga1z
work hours free one day a week.
The old Empire Mills and Falcon
mills are completely down, the Ma
homing Wallet Steel Corp. Mill is
down this week, and the sheet mills
of Republic Iron and Steel are bare
ly operating.

Oregon Farmers and
Workers Unite to
Open Water Gates

PORTLAND, Ore. Aug 81 Cent
raj Oregon formers, under the leader
ship of the United Farmers League
and the Unemployed Council, with
legal guidance of Irwin Goodman. L.
LID. attorney for Oregon, waged a
successful battle against the water
trust recently.
The project near Bend, Ore. is in
absolute control of the irrigation
supply for hundreds of poor farmers.
The board of directors refused to turn
on the water bectuse of bills due
from the farmers.
A mass meeting was held on
August LIST by the farmers and
they heard a report by
an Unemployed Council representa-
tive who told them to open the gates
and repel the ditch riders if they try
to close them.
The meeting unanimously adopted
the program offered and carried out
the decision.

They all like to hear you talk about
the good time in Russia, where the
workers rule. But some of them fly
off the handle when you talk about
the Negroes. But after you explain
that the Communist Party is work
ers party, and is only for the workers,
and that the Negroes are workers,
and that the workers will be boss
when the white and black and all
other colors get together as workers
and fight their common fee-the
capitalist system - which keeps us
fighting among ourselves so that it
can rule us-then, after talking and
explaining all this, they begin to
understand why the capitalists try to
keep us apart.

Jobless Support Strike
Five hundred unemployed steel
workers met last night in Niles, and
Numbered unanimous approval to a
motion to support whatever action
the employed workers take today.
There was a similar vote in mass
meeting of the Liberty Mill unem-

The Farrell steel workers are send
ing a delegation to tonighSs meeting

ALL. Members Join
Amongst the rank and file Of the
Analgamated Association, there is
widespread strike sentiment. Many
workers collapsed in the Republic
mill yesterday from the extreme heat
and speed-up, and from undernour-
ishment. One, a catcher in No. g,
tin mill, died on the Job, and the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union plans a mass funeral for him,
with the slogan, stop this murder
ing of the workers."
The company attempts to stop the
growing strike sentiment by mass
dismissals, but this only drives the
workers into storm Of Indignation.
Fight Horrible Conditions
ave mad better be outside hungry
on the streets than inside hungry and
working ourselves to death besides!"
say the Warren and Niles workers.
Many, even members of the Anal
gamated, are joining the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union.
Workers throughout the country
should hail this first big blow
struck by the steel workers against
the wage cutting campaign which
the steel trust leads. Organize a
mass relief campaign! Send strike
relief to the Steel and Metal Work
ers Industrial Union, 331 Main Ave-,
Warren, O. Steel workers elsewhere

anthracite. This followed a very
sharp battle on the part of the
strikers in the course of which three
miners we're shot by state troopers
and deputies and number of state
troopers were stoned by the strikers.
The Eynon miners, however, are
aware of the fact that this with
drawal of the wage cut may only be
stalling on the part of the company
in preparation for the general 20 per
cent wage cut which they intend to
put through for the three anthracite
districts.

The Eynon miners are ready to come

Lewis machine put this through. The
strike against the general 20 per cent
winning of this strike is very inn
portant from the point of view that
while the miners were engaged in a
bitter struggle against the company,
the Boylan machine of District l of
the United Mine Workers announced
that the charter of this local would
be taken away, thus trying to intimi-
date the miners and trying to destroy
any strike movement in order to
prevent them from organizing their
forces against the coming wage cut
The example of this mine putting
up stubborn fight against the wage
cut should be followed by other
miners. Not only should a rank and
file mine committee be organized in
order to safe guard their victories,
but miners committees should be set
up in order to prepare for the COM
ing wage cut.

there, as compared with 1,400 last
January when the japanese laun-

district of Shanghai, slaughtering
over 10000 unarned men, women
and children, and manning many
additional thousands. For the past
week, also, large numbers of Jap
anese gunner and plainclothes-
men have been secretly landed in
Shanghai.
The Third Squadron Is the same
naval force which carried out the
savage attack last January. At the
opening of the attack, this squadron
was commanded by the butcher Vice
Nomura, whom the Wall st.
is now preparing to well
come on the goodwill tour" on
which the Japanese fascist govern
ment is sending him to the United
States. The squadron is at present
commanded by Admiral Sakonji. The
flagship Idzuma will again anchor
beside the Japanese Consulate in the
so-called neutral international Settle

anese last January as base for their
attacks ON the defense OF Shanghai
in defiance of the traitor
Government, by the revo-
Shanghai workers and the
Route Army.
The japanese imperialists also have
about 20 warships on the Yangtze

BEWARE THE
 COUGH OR COLD THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsiied creosoto that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is . new medical discovery with two-fold &C., tion; it soothes and heals the inHamed membranes and inhibits germ growth.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is recog- nized by high medical authorities as ono of the greatest healing agencies for per- sistcnt coughs and colds and other forms ofthroat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing ele. ments which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation. while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into tho blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac- tory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respira- tory diseases. and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold. no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist. (adv.)
