Only Cost to School Board of Ar

BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
BALLSTON, Va, August 3l.-The
drainage of the large recreation field
at the Washington-Lee High School
was accomplished at no cost to the
school board beyond the tile used, it
was made known today.
The work was done this Summer with
a part of the county's unemployment
fund, the Board of Public Welfare, by
whom the fund was handled, feeling
that it would do more good to furnish
employment than to distribute the
money without any return.
The school board last night tenta-
lively decided to proceed with the
Identification of the recreation field
and parade ground this Fall. 1t is ex-
pected that half of the field will be
seeded this year and then fenced off
until sufficient stand of grass Is OBJ
tained to open it and seed the other
side.

The Daily Worker:
I attended a Communist Party
speech in Sacramento last August, the
first and last l have ever heard, but
was much pleased with the good sense
and visibility of such Party. and I
see more clearly now the great need
for such Party, and OF people find
ing out what their great needs are.
I have been to many fine houses in
this city looking for employment for
myself to make a living. And you
would be surprised at the Ignorance
of otherwise well informed people not
knowing what the great trouble is
now in this U. S.
When l tell them how I am stu
ated, they tell me their hard prob
lens and seem to know nothing what
the only remedy is, but hope ON for
the best in their darkness and tgnor-
ance.

the only sensible, logical, righteous
idea about it,

EVICTION IN
ST. LOUIS, MO.
300 Rally to Return
Furniture; ~ Join
the Council
tBy q Worker Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Mo.--Over a hundred
workers assembled at 18th and Carr
to hear the speakers of the Unem-
ployed Council present its program
and how to carry on a determined
struggle against hunger and evic-
tons. While the speakers went on
with the meeting a worker came and
reported that a. worker Is being
evicted on 1910 Biddle st. (rear).
Immediately the comrades appealed
to the workers to go and put the
furniture back into the house. Most
Of the crowd went in q body to the
place where the eviction was taking
place.
At the place Of the eviction our
speakers were raised and about 300
workers rallied to the call of our
comrades and put the furniture back.
After the furniture was put back
over 40 joined the Unemployed Coun-
Gil among them quite few Negro
workers, some ex-servicemen and
some women.
This Is a direct result Of the coun-
Gil reorientating itself towards de-
veloping mass struggles. Councils
grew up but never functioned, most
Of them short lived. This vas be-
cause any Of the comrades did not
think the mass struggles could be
developed in st. Louis being that st.
Louis was never an organized city.
With the experiences we have in
Granite City, in the county and other
places We can and will forge ahead
Of building a mass movement only
through developing mass struggles.
We are well on the road and promise
the other section and cities to be
heard Of in the very near future.
