to the unemployed of New
York and all workers organi-
cations to rally to the Unem-
ployed Conference June and the
city wide demonstration at City Hall
Tuesday June 6: Z.
Mayor O'Brien has refused to put
stop to the wholesale evictionS and
relief cuts which are being carried
out against the tens of thousands
Of unemployed and destitute fani-
lies Of New York. He has told our
delegation delegation of 80 who saw
Mayor O'Brien Thursday. They were
elected by unemployed demonstrating
at Home Relief Bureaus all over the
city-Editor) that he can do moth
ing for the workers who together
with their families face loss of homes
and death from slow starvation.
The profession of sympathy with
which the Mayor sought to disarm
the unemployed, were glaringly ex-
posed for what they are worth by
the fact that at the very moment
when these we're being made, police
were brutally assaulting men, wo-
men and children who had gathered
at the relief stations,
Act on Bankers Orders
His own admission that "the bank
erS hold a sword of Damocles over
the city's head" prove that City
Hall is acting on the orders of the
big bankers of Wall Street. Mayor
O'Brien intends to continue to pay
usurious interest rates to the bank
ers. He intends to continue to
Squander more millions on salaries to
the political henchmen who deliver
the votes and collect the graft on
which Tammany Hall thrives.
Cannot Accept Mayors Answer
Workers of New York; Employed
and unemployed! We cannot, we
must not accept the answer of May
or OBrien. We must force the gov
eminent of the richest city in the
United States to provide for the ex-
istence of those of us who have been
deprived Of the right to earn live
lihood!

We call upon all workers, employ

starvation and homelesSness
More than two-hundred- thousand
apartments stand vacant. Scores of
large buildings, many Of them fully
equipped, are likewise unused. The
bankers, bosses and landlords con-

live is as important as the profits
