Unemployed Council
Forces Cash Relief
Refused Workers

The wiIliamsburgh Unemployed

staging q militant mass demonstra-
ton in front Of Public School 10, the
local relief station.
AS a result Of the Unemployed
Councils militancy many families
now have their rent and electric light
bills paid besides receiving food
tickets and relief for Negro and
white single workers.
The refusal Of the director Of this
station to grant relief to many needy
families and single workers aroused
the Unemployed Council to iinnedi-
ate action and resulted in the signal
victory of workers who refused to
starve quietly for the benefit of the
bosses.
The principal of the school became
alarmed by the nilitancy Of the
demonstration and tried to break 1t

nection with the recent attempt to
blow up the Sungari River bridge

This is the day that Gov. James

missed ogive his decision on the
demands Of the worl1ng-class for
the release Of Tom Mooney.
Rolph has constantly postponed a
decision. A few weeks ago he an
nounced for April 20. Two days ago
he again declared q postponement,
this time stating that he would make
it on April 81. These nanouVers by
Rolph are directed at disarming the
vigilance Of the masses and to stem
the tremendous, rising demand for
MONEYS release. TIL eworkers will
not relax their vigilance.
Rolph has already indicated that
he is opposed to the immediate re-
lease Of Tom Mooney. 1t is rumored
that he will render his decision on
the basis of holding Mooney in jail
for at least two years longer. Fear
has been expressed by the California
bosses that Tom Mooney, released,
would tour the country to "stir up
the masses" against the vicious cap
italist frame-ups against militant
workers.

TOLEDO, Ohio, April 19.-About
5000 unemployed workers partici-

immense profits, the wages Of over
$4,000 steel workers were recently
cut 10 per cent.
The fact that the capitalists. are
carrying on terrific drive to put
the burden Of, the crisis on the
shoulders of the working class was
deliberately concealed by Schwab.
Exposing in an unguarded state
ment, the hypocrisy of his statement
about the poverty Of millionaires,
Schwab exposed who it was that was
suffering from the crisis:
''We're prosperous. Colonel Rob-
ert Mazet, secretary-treasurer Of
the society, informs me we have
enough funds to tide us over this

was a hypocritical mixture Of dem

fear expressed for the future of Am
erican capitalism. The ever deepen
ing swamp into which world capital
ism has fallen, holds no perspective
of an immediate upturn fer Schwat
and his fellow capitalists. Looking
forward to the deepening of the crisis
to points lower than those reached
in the three years past, schwab said

great prosperity. We didn't stop

MINERS STOP
BOSSES FROM
WORKING MINE
Protest Grows Over
failing of Miners
from Franklin Co,

WEST FRANKFORT, Ill, April 16.
AT the special meeting of the
Orient Local 4173, U. M. w. A., the
miners decided to picket the No. 2
mine and prevent the bosses from
working around the shaft. This &C
ton followed after the manager of
the C. w. and F. Coal Co. refused
to talk to the Pit Committee, which
was instructed to demand that the
mine bosses stop working in accord
ance with terms Of agreement.
The operator tried to use q group
Of the mine bosses to do actual union
mems work under pretense they were
"iust supervising the mine" The
local elected a committee to investi-
gate and it was found that the
bosses were actually employed in do
ing the cleaning up, ETC., around the
mine, which was work done before
the lockout by the union labor.
Yesterday about 100 men came to
picket the mine and the bosses were
stopped from entering the mine ter
ritory.
In the meantime the off1cialdom is
continuing to further weaken the
miners ranks and TO block every
militant move OF the rank and file.
At the meeting Of this same local
last Monday a resolution against the
wsge-cut and individual agreement
initiated by the rank and file oppo-
sition was presented TO the miners,
and in the discussion every trick was
used by the Walker forces to defeat
1t. While favoring 'in words" a
part of the resolution calling for a
fight against the wage-cut, the Of
ficialdom and their tools beheaded it
by defending the betraying act Of
the scale committee, which approved
the individual agreement and work
ing of the pending settlement. AL
ready close to 10000 miners are
working under this provision and by
this splitting scheme the oficialdom
intends to help the operators put a
Wage-cut across.
Protest Increases.
In spite of this skilfully prepared
plan Of betrayal, the protest of the
miners is on the increase. Several
locals having adopted the resolution
of the rank and file opposition in
the past week. among them Buckner
Local 1926, where the membership
also took stand against the GRIM
inal syndicalism and for the defense
of the seven indicted workers in
Franklin County. The Buckner local
elected three members as commit
tee to go to State Attorney Marion
Hart and protest against the indict-
ments and demand the release of
these seven workers.
