EVANSVILLE, 1nd,-About 80 des-
titute men, women and children were
forced to get up at 2 am. in the
morning and rush out Of the 70-year-
old Chandler building at First and
Locust SITS. when the building began
to crack and cave in.
This building had been condemned
as unsafe by the building commits
sioner on July 81, 1881, and so the
bosses decided 1t was good enough
for the unemployed. A year after 1t
was condemned the bosses Unem-
ployed Relief, headed by John Jen-
nings, got jobleSs workers who had
no other place to go to make this
trap their home.
The building commissioner had
long ago pointed out that the rear
wall was in danger of falling, caused
by bad cracks in the flues; he said
that the roof joists we're very weak,
and said that the brick arch on the
third floor in the corridor WIS also
badly cracked.
Only by militant organized strug
gle, under the leadership of the IN
employed Council will the workers
win the right TO shelter In the many
vacant buildings which the bosses
think are too good for the unenn-
ploysd.

YES, WHY IS THIS so?
Editor, Daily Worker,

Editor, Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
On Sunday, January s, 1898, a
united front conference was held
Tor the purpose Of protesting
against the latest atrocities against
Jews in Poland. There were many
organizations present, and tho a,
sprinkling Of delegates from Or
CARNATIONS, not definitely left wing
were present, it still was not an
actual united front.
The speakers from the platform
as well as in discussion from the
floor-all centered their attack
against Polish fascism. Some of
the remarks were also pointed
against italian fascisrn, Poland.
Jugoslava, Checfoslovakia, were all
discussed
Comrades p. Novak and Yudicl1
OF the Morning Freiheit" very ably
pointed out the class character Of
Pogroms, and expressions OF small
nationalities and national minori-
ties. Every one OF the speakers,
however, failed to as much even as
hint about race riots, race discrimi-
nation, oppression and lynchings Of
Negroes In the United States.
In the minutes given me as
representative Of District /. L. D.,
I attempted to bring this issue be-
fore the conference. In my re-
marks pointed out the lynching
and national oppression OF Negroes
in the United States have all the
earmarks Of progroms and are in
fact pogroms for one definite pur-
pose-creating antagonism between
the white and colored workers in
the United States and preventing
them from United Action against
capitalism.
Omitting to even have a para
graph in the resolution about Ne
gro oppression in the U. 8. at
conference OF this nature is to my
opinion an error OF grave nature.
Silence on such vital q problem
may raise the question in the minds
Of MANY ''why !. this so?"

We believe in stating facts and
here the facts of the result of the
leadership of the Music unemployed
movement in Seattle and the mem-
ployed movement in Chicago, 1.-THE
Labor Age" mouthpiece of Music,
in the November issue, in an article
BY Carl Branin, declares: "In Seat
tie MIX has been reduced so that
children over years of age get
only one pint per day and children
over IA, none. The wholesale value
of the food furnished is about S1.74
per week for a family of four"
This is in the city of Seattls I'M
der the leadership of the Music
ties. In the city of Chicago relief
is not satisfactory and adequate.
But, as the Washington correspon-
dent of the Federated Press" de-
clared, Chicago is y most danger
GUS spot on the unemployed 'front.'"
1t is so. Chicago received more
money for relief from the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation than
any other city in the country. APP
proximately 10000 families in Chi
cago receive an average of $22 a
month. 1t is very little and not
sufficient, but compare this with
the achievement" of the Music
ties in Seattle.
UTHE LABOR BULLETIN" pub
lished by the Illinois Depart
ment of Labor, for the month of
November, recognizing the fact that
the struggle of the unemployed in
Chicago defeated the so per cent
cut in relief, states that "Of the
total sum required for relief, S45,-
100000, that S4O,60O,000 will be
needed for Cook County, and
S4,400,00O for other Illinois coun-
ties"
Why this big difference even in
the state OF Illinois? The reason
is clear The Chicago unemployed
fight, and they are getting more
E6ltl, llltSt are liIlJOIbdlJ lBS-
sons to be drawn-that only under
the revolutionary leadership, the
leadership of the Unemployed
Councils, supported by the Com

workers successfully carry on a
struggle against hunger and starva-
ton.
Revolutionary leadership not only
means that we mobilize the work.
ing class and the toiling masses for
the final overthrow of capitalism,
but in daily work and daily strug-
giles. 1t is under the leadership of
these forces that the unemployed
can force the ruling class 10 grant
bigger concessions. The good old
slogan of Negro woman, who at
one OF the meetings of the Unem-

who do not fight do not eat" APP
plies here perfectly.

Farmers in Action

the Iowa lawyer who foolishly tried
to bid at one of these actions
These actions are the result of
organization along with agitation
based on broad united front for
the immediate burning needs OF
the small and medium farmers.
The following quotations show the
state of mind of these "conserva-

AT the recent Farmers National
n Relief Conference the delega-
tons fro pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Nebraska were considered
conservative" in comparison to the
farmers of the revolutionary United
Farmers League of the Northwest.
Many times during the conference
the farmers from the conservative"
delegation showed the existence Of
deep-rooted illusions (the hope
that the progressive Congressman
would help them, the waving of
the red-white and blue, the APP
peal for supernatural aid, state
ments that there is too much
criticism Of the government here"
etc,
Debate at the conference often
times was sharp. This, however,
did not stop the conservative"
farmers from voting for a militant
program and also for resolutions,
demanding recognition of the Sow
let Union, for unemployment and
social insurance and against I'M
perialist war.
URGE UNITY
WITH WORKERS
OF great significance was the
popularity of the idea of unity
with the working class and unity
with the Negro share troopers.
Almost every delegate who spoke
brought these subjects up. Many
times provoking applause.
What have these conservative"
farmers done since they went
home? The Nebraska farmers
started the ball rolling by spread
ing the mass fight against sheriff
sales to such an extent as to make
it matter of national Importance.
These struggles were under the
leadership of the Nebraska Holiday
Association (Which sent delegates
and supports the conference pro-
gram.
The central Pennsylvania farm
ers under the leadership of the
Pennsylvania Protective Association
(also represented at the confer
ence) were the next to fall in line.
Several hundred farmers turned out
for a sale and allowed no one to
bid but the elected committee of
action which bought back the
farm for s29.
The eastern Pennsylvania farm
ers under the leadership of the
United Farmers Protective Associa-
ton (also represented at the con-
ference took up the challenge and
successfully saved two farmers
from losing their farms in two
successive days by mass actions
involving over 600 farmers.

The I. L. D. has utterly failed in
leading an effective mass struggle
on the issue of Fascist Polish pog-

other national minorities.
New York has a population Of
100000 Jews. The Jewish work

only 800 workers at the demonstra-

was revolutionary worker. Prac-
tically no outside elements were
drawn into the struggle.
FAILED TO RALLY MASSES
Considered from the viewpoint of
masses rallied around the issue and
of organizational results gained, the
democtration was a failure. There
are hundreds of Jewish mutual aid
and fraternal aid societies in New

on the fact that the workers are

Furthermore, while Mr.. Borders
Is SO enthusiastic about the Cook
County Hunger March in New
York, he is not so enthusiastic in
Chicago. He published here little
paper, 1.-THE New Frontier" and in
an editorial of that paper, after
the Hunger March, Mr.. Borders
declared: eve learned who our
friends are and who our enemies
are--both inside and outside Of the
organization"
So Mr.. Borders speaks quite
openly here of the enemies inside
the Chicago Workers Committee
on Unemployment and outside of

employed Council. Who are these
enemies, Mr.. Borders? 1t is clear
that you have in mind workers
who refused 10 carry out your
treacherous policy and you your
self admitted 1t in this editorial by
declaring; Eve don't obey orders.
