To Aid Employment

These are some of the things anti
prohibitionists claim the end Of pro-
hibition will mean in wet states:
An industry employing thousands
of men, dormant FOR almost "A years,
will awaken TO new activity.
The nations most publicized per-
centage So - may be forgotten.
Beer of five or six per cent alcoholic
content may replace it in wet states,
according to general predictions.
A renewed demand for malt, hops,
barley, corn, rice. sugar, bran, and
other crops, is expected.
Federal enforcement funds will be
available for other purposes. The
cost of enforcing prohibition has
been estimated at $500,000 600.
A new source of revenue will be
available. The revenue lost during
the years Of prohibition has been es-
timated at S3.000,000 900.
The speakeasy will change its at
mosphere, it is believed, but it will
probably remain as supper club,
cabaret or drinking place.

ARABS PLAY
HERE FRIDAY

Primed for a tough battle with
San Diego State frosh on the local
gridiron at 7:30 Friday, November
10, the Central Arabs are spending
the rest of this week in putting the
finishing touches on several plays
and in polishing the weaknesses
made evident in the game with
Phoenix last weekend.
BY tieing Phoenix J.C., team
reputed for its strength and power,
the local team gained a spirit that
has kept the whole squad fighting
hard this week. Fine spirit in the
student body should also be great
help to the local team in the Friday
night skirmish.
Scores Of the past games would in
dicate that the Arabs are improving
with every game and to maintain
the record should win the Friday
night game. In the first game of the
season against San Bernardino the
score was: San Bernardino 80, Arabs
o; in the next game, Brawley j. c.
IL, Arabs 6; against CaleXico high,
Calexico 13, Arabs IL, and in the
last game, with Phoenix, Bears s,
Arabs 6.
All the team came out of the Arr
zona battle in fine shape. To date
there are no injuries to keep any
cne from playing Friday. Com
petition for various positions on the
team is so high that the starting
lineup can not be announced un-
til Thursday or Friday.
Arabs are anxious that large
delegation of townspeople turn out
to witness the game with the San
Diego state frosh. Regardless of the
scores, fans believe that this will be
an excellent football game.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s. - The
Swope-Johnson plan is likely to be-
come a concealed budapest for those
colossal powers pushing the trend
towards American fascism without
exposing the preliminary maneuvers
and there are ample reasons to be-
lieve that the Roosevelt administra-
ton will further this trend by actu-
ally carrying out many of the features
of the plan while maintaining fic-
ton of complete innocence of It's fas-
cist implications.
From the Consumers Advisory

impotent agency created supposedly
to guard the interests of small buyers
but actually headed by Mrs. Mary
Hartman Rumsey, daughter of the
railroad monopolist Henry Hartman,
comes the announcement of the ap-
pointment of committee to study
the Swope- johnson scheme with the
big business leaders now considering
it for the Business Advisory and Plan
ming Council.
In plain words this means that the
administration remains acutely sensi-
tive to the Importance of the project,
as its way out of the crisis in MIRA.

hours without reduction in pay; the
abolition of the physical examira-

Cleveland JObleSs
at City Council
Protest Food Cut
Workers Relief Ordi-
nance Read to
Politicians

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 3. - The
Cuyahoga County Relief Committee
put over 10 to rs per cent cut in
relief for the unemployed, A delega-
ton from the Unemployed Councils
headed by I. o. Ford, Communist
Candidate for Mayor visited the City
Council, Monday night to protest this
recent cut. Ford was granted the
floor for about rs minutes during
which time he pointed out what suf-
fering this relief cut meant for the
unemployed, how under the NRA this
is the second cut, the first being the
rise in prices of food, etc.
At first the politicians tried to pass
the buck saying that they had no
thing to do with relief, that the
responsibility rests with the County.
Ford demanded that the City Council
go on record against the cut in relief
that delegation go to the County
Commissioners together with the I'M
employed councils and city imme-
diately make up differences from the
City treasury
Then the Councilmen found they
had no power to do anything of this
nature. They demanded of Ford that
he give them a legal method to
handle the unemployed problem.
Ford retaliated by reading the Work
ers' Relief Ordinance proposed by the
Cleveland Unemployed Councils and
proposed this to be put into the sta
tute books.
They then claimed they had no
resources that it was impossible
whereupon Ford pointed out that sew
eral million dollars recently was given
from the city Sinking Fund to repay
the City bonds controlled by Wall
Street bankers. Which was more vital,
bread for the unemployed or interest
for the bankers and parasites?
The arguments waxed hot for about
10 minutes when Ford hurled an
swers back to these scum and the
President Of Council adjourned the
meeting saying "the city would take
it under consideration"
No immediate answer was given re-
gerding the relief cut, but the Un-
employed Councils will show by the
demonstrations in the various neigh
borhoods that we are determined to
resist this cut and increase our relief.

ing to the leadership of the Commu-

League.
In the town of Loyal, 300 farmers
succeeded in re-captllring truck
which had been seized by the local
authorities.
The striking farmers are defying
the 'no-picket" orders of Milo Reno,
self-appointed leader Of the farmers
through the National Holiday Associ-
alton. Reno, quick to sense that the
strikers are breaking away from his
leadership, today made a pretense of
militancy by urging the farmers to
fight to finish" At the same time,
he continues to sabotage all the at
tempts of the farmers to organize
mass picketing on the roads.
The demand for cancellation, not
initiation, is spreading very fast, re-
ceiving increasing support from the
striking farmers.
Prepare for Conference.
Preparations for the Second Ma
1ional Farm Conference, to be held at
Chicago on Nov 1913, are being
rushed. Many delegates have al
ready been elected from the area Of
most intense farm struggle and
picketing. Wisconsin, particularly, is
sending many farm pickets as dele
gates to the coming conference which
bids fair to be the largest in the his
tory Of the country, with 600-750 dele
gates expected.
