Force Relief Promise
in BOr0 Park Despite
Attack by the Police

NEW YORK.-Though police with
machine guns and tear gas bombs
threw out two committees of the
Boro Park Unemployed Council who
we're demanding relief for starving
families, the Home Relief Bureau at
Gravesend and Albermarle Rd.,
Brooklyn, was forced to register two
of the families and to promise relief
to others.
The first committee went with Is
families to the relief bureau and de-
manded food and rent. Thirty other
families then gave their names to a
second committee, which, with the
active support of workers and their
families massed outside, attempted
to enter The police we're called and
began throwing out the workers in
side the building. -Four members of
the committee, Taffler, Lowe, Miller
and Adamas. were arrested, but cops
were stopped from using their clubs
by the angry protest of the crowd Of
workers present.
Tonight at 8 o'clock a mass pro-
test meeting will be held at 1873 49d

CALL CARPENTERS
TO PICKET SHOPS
Bronx Strikers Game
Despite Arrests

Fourteen pickets have been ar
rested at mass picket demonstra-
tons in front of Garfinkel & Stein
berg Carpenter Shop, 18TH st.,
Bronx, N. Y.
The workers of the shop have been
on strike for two weeks for union
conditions. The boss has been hit
very hard because the scab carpen-
tiers cannot put out good workman
ship. He is paying them merely to
demoralize the strikers into thinking
that their jobs are lost. This is the
third strike within the last ten
months. The bosses have been very
stubborn in refusing the workers the
say in the distribution Of the work.
Although the strike has weakened
the boss he still puts up front and
says he won't give up if he has to
lose everything.
But the solidarity Of the workers
is strong. The picket lines are solid
and they are ready to give the bosses
hard fight.
Despite arrests, and Imprisonment,
the strikers are showing a fighting
spirit in court and, with the help of
the defense lawyer, their release was
secured.
The strike is being conducted by
the newly organized Independent
Carpenters Union, 818 Broadway, N.
Y. All unemployed carpenters are
urged to report for picket duty at
the Temporary Strike Headquarters,
26O E. 18TH ST., near Third Ave-,

PRINTERS FIGHT
ARBITER AWARD
Prepare Strike" Says
Militant Group

NEW YORK.-The rank and file
members of Typographical Union No
6 are up in arms against the arbi-
tration award, as rendered by J. N
Saulters, the arbiter approved by the
officials. Most newspaper chapels
called special meetings and con-
demned this award and declaring
that we will do all in our power to
render the said award null and void
by whatever means possible
The indignation of the rank and
file resulted in the adoption of a
resolution instructing the substitutes
not to accept the stagger plan and
to show up at one specified hour.
Another resolution as adopted by
the N. Y. Times Chapel and taken UP
at the World Telegram, Journal
American, the Daily News and the
Herald Tribune chapels, reads ir
part:
1.-THE Amalgamation Party, the
rank and file organization, which
leads and sponsors this fight, calls
upon all printing workers to stand
ready and support the fight of the
newspaper printers.
"This fight is of historic inpor-
lance The attack of the publishers
must be answered with decisive &C.
tior-strike action. Such action will
put fear into the hearts of the en-
ployers and put stop to their
schemes to reduce the living stand
ards of the printers. The entire
working class must back up this
fight"
The Amalgamation Party, at It's
headquarters, 40 w, 18th St, is bus
lily engaged in receiving reports ano
guiding the members who come ur
for information. The Amalgamatior
Party has issued an official state
ment, asking all members of Big Siz
to report at all times to the head
quarters and assuring them that
they will get the proper assistance.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The Board

hind cuts in the salaries of highly
paid officials who derive their in
come from other sources, the Board
set the stage for wholesale reduction
of wages for school teachers, street
cleaners, firemen and many other
city employees.
The true meaning of the program
was revealed by the action of the De-
partment of Hospitals, which fired
300 foreign-born workers and has an
nounced that those who may be hired
IN their place will have to accept
heavy wage reductions. This move
represents wage-cutting scheme
which is at the same time cloak
for reducing medical service and
creating division between the ma
tive and foreign-bor workers who
are fighting the bankers program.
widespread Opposition.
Widespread opposition to the joint
maneuver of the bankers and their
agents in the city government is de-
veloping among teachers, firemen,
nurses and other city employees. A
protest meeting of teachers will take
place at the School of Commerce
Auditorium on Thursday at pm.
The teachers have already shouldered
the burden of unemployment relief
from which the wealthy bankers are
exempt. Other protest movements
are rapidly developing among the city
employees.

NORMAN SMITHS
BABY SON DIES
"Relief" Starvation
Kills Infant

NEW YORK. = Starvation struck
once more in the family of Norman
Smith, unemployed Negro worker of
Harlem, when on Nov. 80 his baby
son Lerenzo, who was born Oct. 8,
died Of malnutrition in Harlem Hos
pital.
Mrs. Estelle Smith, Norman
Smiths wife, died on Nov. 16 in
Harlem Hospital. after having been
starved by the charity agen-
cieS in New York. Mrs. Smith was
buried by the Unemployed Council
of Upper Harlem, and at the funeral
the workers pledged themselves to a
renewed fight on starvation.
Cut Relief
Meanwhile, the Home Relief Buro
has cut the relief" given to Comrade
Smith and his family, from $12 to
$3.50 for a period of two weeks. This
amount must cover all the needs of
four people. The charity agencies are
also threatening Conlrade Smith
with deportation to Georgia.
The Social Service Buro of the
Harlem Hospital is meanwhile de-
manding that Con1rade Smith turn
over his 17-months- daughter,
Ernestine, to them. Since his wife's
last wish was that the family be
kept together, Comrade Smith has
refused to turn the child over but
the starvation policy OF the relief
agencies is making it impossible to
feed the children.

HUNGER MARCH PICTURES AND
FALSE UNIFORMS" AT THE
ACME THEATRE

The present show at the Acme
Theatre combines the Ukrainfilm
production, False Uniforms" with
films OF the National Hunger March
demonstration Nov. 20 at the Coli
scum, and the next mornings dem
onstration at Union Square, with
also, pictures of Column on the
march to Washington.
False Uniforms" is story of the
peasant revolts against serfdom and
the brutality of the landlords just
before the middle of the last CEN
tury. This picture, like THE Eagle
| Of the Caucasus" and "Anush," are
what might be called "hero" stories,
epics of the struggle of the time be-
fore the proletarian revolution.
Their appearance at this time has
a certain significance. They show
that the workers and farmers of the
Soviet Union now feel certain of the
| success of their revolution, they can
now afford to take their eyes to some
extent off the grand struggle of sue
cessful revolt, and look back over
the incidents, honor some Of the
repeS OF a py-gone age. They also
show by their extremely colorful
form and care for the little things
and the individual leaders Of old
times, that the proletariat now has
time for history and wants it.
False Uniforms" is one of the
forerunners Of this type of picture.
Its incidents may seem adventurous,
sometimes a little fantastic even, but
are the products of oral tradition and
legend, giving a picture, if not exact
account, of type of life and struggle.
The story is that of the uprising
of part of the serfs of certain land
lord family, Of clever strategem of
small groups fighting the armed
force of the landlord and of the
landlords state, in sudden raids and
forest battles. Naturally the rebel
lious serfs are called bandits, as in
Nicaragua today.
The film pictures the luxury and
cruelty of the ruling class in its
marble halls, and the misery, and
also the solidarity, of the hunted and
prosecuted serfS y. S.

BERLIN, Dec. 5-The inaugural
session of the new ReichStag is set
for 8 p. m. tomorrow when the Com
munist Party will move for a vote of
non confidence in the Junker Cabi-
net headed by Lieut., Gen. Won
Schleicher.
Whether the Communist motions
viii be discussed depends on wheth-
err deputies of the other parties raise
objections. Formal objection pre-
vents immediate treatment Of nom
confidence motions.
Schleicher is seeking to put thru
an adjournment Of the Reichstag
until the middle of January to gain
time for further manouvering for the
creation of a national concentration
government in which the Nazis fas-
cists) would participate. He has
threatened dissolution of the Reich
stag if the Communist motions are
adopted. The fasciSts are anxious to
avoid new elections because Of their
waning influence as again demon
strated in yesterdays municipal cleo
tons in Thuringia when heavy fas-
cist losses were recorded. 1t is there
thought the faScists will be agree

The district conference Of the Com
munist Party of North Bavaria and
Nuremberg was dissolved Sunday
by the police. The reason being given
that the Executive Committee of the
Communist International had in
structed the German Communist
Party to organize armed instruction.
Today police raided the headquar-
tiers of the Communist Party in the

for material relating to the ECCI
Plenum. The logical consequence of
the Nuremberg action means an
early attempt to suppress the Com
