WORKERS STORM
FEDERAL JOB
II jailed Demanding
Work in Sioux City

SIOUX CITY, July 25s--Hundreds
of unemployed workers stormed the
new post office construction job here
demanding jobs and set up picket
line which stopped all trucks from
coming or going to the job for sew
eral hours.
During the first picket demonstra-
ton the fire department and police
were called who turned the fire hose
on the workers. Six workers were ar
rested, among them George Mickey,
mesNber of the Young Communist
League.
Continues Two Days
The demonstrations for jobs con-
tinued for two days, despite police
orders to ban all demonstrations and
parades. The workers are planning
to carry on the fight until they are
either given jobs or relief.
During the second day of the dem
onstrations five more workers were
arrested, making II altogether. Henry
Nicholas, leader of the Unemployed
Council, was arrested while speaking
to the workers. Lillian Roberts, who
took his place when the cops pulled
him down; j. T. Brown, secretary
of the Unemployed Council, and three
more workers were taken to jail by
the police.
Threat to Call Troops
All police reserves in the city were
called out and the night shift re-
manned on duty all day. Reports in
the local press say that the governor
will call the National Guards against
the workers.
This sight of hungry workers fight
ing for jobs has put fear into the
hearts Of the bosses here.
The Unemployed Council is calling
a protest meeting at the court house
to demand the release of all the
workers who were jailed.
When the firemen turned the hose
on the workers small boy, son OF
one of the workers who happened to
be sitting on top of shed, was
knocked off the shed by firemen and
it has been reported that he has a
broken arm, broken in two places.
An elderly lady who was passing by
was knocked down and severely
injured, the local press did not carry
a line about this working class boy
and woman who were injured by
these thugs Of the boss class.

Lark and Tirnko, agents of the dis

are urging the miners to adopt a
policy of passive resistance" pat
termed after, as they say, the policy
of Ghandi in India. Lark and Timko
are against mass picketing. They
pretend to be for it under the pres

advocated the 81 scale long before it
was agreed to by the district off
Gals. Timko and Lark refused the
floor to a representative of the In
ternational Labor Defense, which
supports the strikers, but invited
Whitlock, prosecuting attorney of
Vigo County, to speak at the same
mass meeting.
Whitlock urges the issuance of in
functions to curb mass picketing, is
responsible for the falling of miners
and has organized reign of terror
against the unemployed in w. Terre
Haute, who some time ago took food
out of chain store to feed their
starving families. Timko and Lark
tried to keep the miners from pick

operating under federal receivership.
Rumors have it that they made a
deal with Whitlock to do their best
to keep the miners away from the
vermillon mine.
Rank and File Calls for Action
The rank and file opposition urged
the miners to picket and close the
Vermillon mine, in spite of Timko
and Lark. This was done and the
vermillon mine was closed. Lark is

the miners to continue to mass picket,

These industries are suffering from

The tremendous seasonal building

The caspian Conference for cul-

closed, shows that the Soviet Union
is nearing complete literacy, consid-

herited from the Tsarist regime. The
Soviet Union now has first place in
the publication of books and the
number of students in higher edu-
cational institutions. The cussural
Five-Year Plan has been over-ful-
filled four times. Newspaper circula-
ton has grown to thirty eight mil

nine million in 1927. Paper and

able to supply enough paper for the
growing demands. There are also
difficulties in getting cadres for the

There is everywhere tremendous

For many years 1890 had been the
reception hour for the President; the
line formed and he shook hands as it
passed by. Now that has been discon-
tinued. 1t proved to be utterly impos-
sible, for the lines grew longer and longer
at the very time when the burden upon
the President was heaviest. During re-
ceptions at the Executive Mansion and
the executive office from January l to
February IS this year just 46 days
he had shaken hands with more
than 10000 persons! Moreover, there
were pending requests from 16O national
organizations that were to meet in the
Capital during the year that he hold re-
ceptions for the delegates attending.
That simply could not be done, so the
ancient custom was abandoned Instead,
the secretaries arrange for small group
representing the organization holding its
convention to meet the President, or
make engagements for the delegations to
assemble on the lawn back of the execu-
tive offices to have their photographs
taken with the President. Sometimes the
groups are small; at other times they

\A/ITH such situation, and no possible
alternatives, we find in the execu-
tive office of the White House man who
has had no vacation for four years, who
handles IS to Is conferences daily with
out undue fatigue, who has a memory
for facts and figures that has quite ap-
propriately been likened to a card index;
a man who rises shortly after o'clock
in the morning and works until close to
midnight every day. He actually thrives
on it, This has been his program for
many months. But he is in excellent
health. Eye and hand and nerves are
steady. He can snatch 80 minutes Of
sound sleep before dinner and come up
refreshed.
For Herbert Hoover there is nothing
very new in all this. He was doing it
years ago in Belgium. And before that
in China, South Africa and other places.
Engineers usually rise early and if need
be they work late. Herbert Hoover is an
engineer. Nevertheless, the working day
he puts in is almost incredible, for even
engineers are human. No other President
of the United States has even approx
mated his hours; no other President ever
had to, but it is equally certain that
very few of them would have been phys
ically able to sustain the burden. And

generally agreed to be as Sc
rious as war, if not more SO;
and the vortex of the conflict
is in the National Capital.
More specifically, it is in the
Presidents office, for in addi-
ton to his executive duties
the President is a vital and
powerful part of the legisla-
tive branch of the Govern
ment.
From that branch must
come drastic economies and
the bills to balance the
budget, as we'll as emergency
legislation to meet the eco
nomic crisis. Other branches
of the Government fight
each on its separate front;
the President of the United
States fights on all fronts,
literally scores of them. 1t
becomes his duty to originate
programs, to examine all that
may be offered by others, to
urge and plead both for and
against pending legislation,
to use the veto power and,
finally, to accept the respon-
sibility for such programs as
he and the Congress origi-
nate.
These programs now cover
every subject from banking,
railroads, shipping and agri-
culture to measures for say
ing the unemployed from
starvation; they nge
through the tariff, foreign
debts, threatened collapse of
European nations and war in
the Far East. How simple,
indeed, if he could delegate
some considerable part of
this far flung battle line to
the Army and Navy, with in
structions to go and defeat
the enemy! But this time
the enemy is within. The
center of the fight is WASH
ington and the commander
in chief is the President of
the United States.

At 9 o'clock his secretaries

seconds from a telephone re-

dent himself cannot answer
in person unless the subject
matter is of such a nature
