Col. Grant Says Commits.

gency to Fix Right.
PROPERTIES VACANT
NEAR KEY BRIDGE
Board of Welfare Probably Would
Be Given Temporary Use of
Available Structures.

The Federal Government stands pre-
pared to assist Washington's poor fam
lilies, by supplying available housing IA
cilities as far as possible, Lieut.. Col.
U. S. Grant. Sd. director Of public
buildings and public parks asserted to-
day. when the District Commissioners
decide that a public emergency exists
here and make official request for
shelter
The colonel said that there are some
vacant Government-owned houses, in
cluding stores and apartments. on NJ
street, near the Key Bridge. There is
also available part Of an old orphan
asylum at the Banneker Recreation
Center near Howard University, he said
Altogether. there are about three sepa-
rate houses now available to shelter
the homeless, he said
Welfare Board Jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction of these federally owned
properties would likely be turned over
temporarily to the Districts Board of
Public Welfare to operate during the
emergency. Col. Grant asserted.
The colonel believes that he has legal
warrant for this, inasmuch as the law
authorizes him to lease out houses
which the Government has acquired BY
purchase. as part of the park and play
ground development program here A
number OF houses are now so leased
While some suggestion has been for
warded that the Federal Government
might authorize District authorities to
house poor families in the old Federal
Trade Commission Building at Eight
zenith street and Constitution avenue
and in the old Pettis Building Nine
teenth street and Virginia avenue, he is
doubtful Of the legality of this pro-
cedure.
Dangers Considered.
Furthermore, the colonel points out
that both Of these buildings and a
temporary wartime structure erected
on the Mall. also scheduled for early
razing, are highly dangerous because
of the fire hazard and the temporary
character of their construction. He
thinks it inadvisable to put a promis-
cuous crowd of people into these struc-
lures.
The District Commissioners must first
declare that such housing emergency
exists. the colonel believes, as the Fed
eral Government may not take the in
itiative without the concurrence Of the
municipal officials, although Uncle Sam
is ready to aid.

West seth Street, organized dress
makers unemployed council yester-
day, to work in cooperation with the
dressmakers' Unity Commute in the
fight against wage cuts and for relief.
An executive committee of rs was
elected, consisting of workers in all
branches Of the dress industry, to
meet similar executive committees Of
workers in other branches Of the
needle trades and formulate pro-
gram for mass united front action.
The first act Of the executive COM

demanding that the Unemployed
Council be in charge of the distriou-

the hunger and terror policy of the

Backs DoIes to Banks.
Earlier in the day, in a speech at
Wheeling, w. Va, Roosevelt further
showed that the democratic and re-
publican parties are as like as two
peas by saying that "the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation is as much
a democratic measure as republican
measure" Thus Roosevelt and the
democrats claim at least half credit
for the policy of the R. F C. of
giving millions of dollars of govern
ment funds in loans to the big banks
and railroads, but not a cent for the
unemployed.
Father James R. Cox, organizer of
the fascist BLUE Shirts" movement,
who recently announced that he had
retired as a candidate for president
and would back Roosevelt, sat on the
speakers stand at Forbes Field.
Boss Parties Agree.
Roosevelt's speech at Forbes Field
now places the three capitalist par
ties, republican, democratic and So
cialist, officially on record against the
bonus. The Socialist Party, in fact
beat the democrats to it; as far back
as April 16 the New Leader" official
organ of the S. P, declared that "the
demand for bonus payment is unfair
to the unemployed, to the debt
burdened farmers, and to the whole
country" This is exactly the same
stand as Hoover and Roosevelt. In
this way the socialists hoped to di-
vide the veterans and the unemployed
and to defeat the struggle for both
the bonus and unemployment in
Surance.
Only the Communist Party which
gave fullest support to the last bonus
march, is fighting for immediate
payment to the vets. Only the Com
munist Party is actively backing the
bonus march that the Natitnal Rank
and File Veterans Committee is
planning for Dec. and is organizing
the united front OF vets, employed
and unemployed workers to force the
payment of the bonus and the es-

DOLL STRIKERS
VOTING ON TERMS
With 1920 P. C. Raises,
Union Recognition

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. 20.-A mass
meeting of strikers at the Regal Doll
Co. is being held tonight to vote on
the final draft of the settlement
terms arrived at by the workers
strike committee in negotiation with
the boss The terms include a Is to
20 per cent weekly increase in prac-
tically all departments, a decrease in
hours, recognition of the shop COM
mittee and of the Trenton Doll
Workers Industrial Union, and i'm
proved sanitary Conditions.
The boss was forced to make these
terms as a result of the militant
picketing, in which the strikers were
supported by about 5000 workers, and
which effectively kept the scabS out
of the factory The union, while not
officially affiliated with the Trade
Union Unity League, accepted the
T. U. U. L. program of rank and file
militant action.
Chase Out Misleaders
That the workers recognize the aid
of the T. u. U L. and the Young
Communist League, which was active
in preparing the strike, was shown at
the mass meeting last night, when
the workers refused to have anything
to do with two A. F. of L. misleaders
who had come from New York to sell
out the Trenton doll strike as they
had sold out the New York strike.
t. u. u. L. speakers effectively ex-
posed the tactics Of these two mis-
leaders, who had made a secret at
tempt to unite with the boss against
the workers.
An example Of the sort Of workers
solidarity that maze this strike so
successful was shown by the workers
in the presers' department. This de-
partment is the key department,
since if the pressers don't work, no
one can work. The boss tried to buy
off the pressers by offering them spe-
cial terms, but the pressers refused to
accept this bride, declaring that they
refused to settle unless the other
workers also won their demands.

Demonstration

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. 90
Truckloads of farmers from the pick
etlines around this city are invited
by the Unemployed Council to come
in and join the Solidarity Demon
SJration the council is calling fol
Sunday at p m. at Bridge Square
Minneapolis.
The demonstration is for higher
prices for the farmers and lower
prices for the employed and unem-
ployed workers, for no evictions oil
either, and for relief to both.
Farmers are picketing in Wright
Kandiyou, Anoka, Washington and
Hennepin Counties, but the Farm
Holiday leaders are interfering by
trying to call off the pickets as soon
as they hear Of them.
State Police Attack
Fifty state highway police rushed
along the roads west of Minneapolis
yesterday. Under command of Cap
tain George Kuch, they smashed
through the picket lines at various
places and escorted some scab trucks
through. The farmers went back to
picketing afterward.
A mass meeting of 400 farmers OF
Wright County, at Maple Lake, Mon
day voted to strike for higher prices
and start picketing at once. This
meeting was called by the Farm Holt
day Association leaders, who are
against mass picketing or united
front with the city workers, but the
rank and file farmers Of the Holiday
Association invited Jack BARLEY of
the United Farmers League to adj
dress them, and gave him enthusi-
astic support as he scored the Holt
day leaders for their policies.
