JOHN REED CLUB
CALLS NATIONAL
MEET ON MAY q
To Link Up Various
Artists Clubs in
America

The John Reed Club Of New
York today issued call to all
John Reed Clubs in the United
States to meet in Chicago on May
2S, 20, to participate in a Confer
ence which will consider plans for
forming national organization of
John Reed Clubs Of America. There
are now at least ten John Reed
Clubs in various cities, in addition
to the New York Club, and per-
haps as many other clubs of writ
ers and artists under other names,
such as Jack London Club, Ham
mer and Sickle Club, etc, and still
other such clubs in Canada and
Mexico which might well be brought
into affiliation with the John Reed
Clubs. The John Reed Clubs in
turn are a part of the Workers
Cultural FederationS which are
forming and growing in all parts
of the country, and around which
the cultural life of the masses is
building itself independently of the
decadent and dying bourgeois cul-
ture of capitalism.
The function of the John Reed
Clubs is in part TO form connect
ing link between the revolutionary
workers and friends elements Of the
left liberals and lower middle class,
the professional workers, writers and
artists, generally TO assist in the de-
velopment Of proIetsrian culture,
and, in the day-to-day struggle,
to act as a source for posters and
signs, for cartoons, for news stor-
les and songs, for dramatic sketches
to inspirit the workers, to inter
pret and publicise the events of the
class struggle, to take active part
in the assault upon capitalism.
All John Reed Clubs, all sssocia-
tions of writers and artists who are
prepared to endorse proletarian
program, should elect two dele
gates each, or at least one such
delegate, to the above mentioned
Conference. Prepare plans for or
ganiZation and work; let your del
egates be ready with suggestions
and ideas. For information, write
to Oakley Johnson, Executive Sec
retary, John Reed Club, So West

FORCE RELIEF
BUREAU TO AID
NEEDY WORKERS
Delegates, Downtown
Unemployed Council
See Supervisor

NEW YORK. - A delegation from
the Downtown Unemployed Council
and the Tenth Street Block Commit
tee took a number of needy families
to the new headquarters of the Home
Relief Bureau, at 102 Elizabeth Street
This new headquarters houses two
Bureaus which the city government
in its campaign to deprive more
Emergency Work Bureau employees
of their jobs or to decrease and re-
fuse relief, is attempting to merge
into single centralized bureau.
The Home Relief Bureau is also
trying to enforce new humiliations on
the unemployed, penniless, hungry
workers of the East Side by its plan
t odelay and withhold relief from
them. The new system is this:
Hundreds of workers are lined up
tn front of the building. The line
resembles a huge bread line. The
applicants must wait hours before
they even get an interview, after
which follow the usual promises, and
the instructions to go home and wait
for the investigators.
Outside the building many police
and plain clothes men push, threaten
and terrorize those waiting.
When the delegation from the I'm
employed Council arrived the police
began to order them into the line
and to push them about. The dele
cation resisted the lineup system
and demanded that the police send
word to the supervisor that a dele
cation of the Unemployed Council
must be received at once.
The delegation urged the hundreds
of workers in the line to fight against
this new system which is aimed at
reducing them to slaves. The police
tried to keep the delegation from
addressing the relief cases, but
the delegation went on and the crowd
listened intently.
At first the head OF the Home Re-
lief Bureau, who was informed by
the police that delegation wanted
to be received, refused admission, but
when the delegation was about to
report the refusal to the unemployed
workers outside, he was forced to
yield and the delegation, escorted by
the police, was admitted.
Inside the spokesman of the dele
CATION protested against the line
up" system and demanded the with
drawsl of the police guard forcing
the supervisor to deliver the protest
against. this police terror to the Cen
trail Home Relief Bureau.
Immediately action on the cases
presented was taken. The super
visor was forced not only to give i'm
mediate relief but, for one case, that
Of child with sick tonsils, to un-
dertake the liability for all the ex-
penSeS of tonsil operation.
When the delegation lott the

outside at the door applauded and
