Yakima, Wash, Aug. s.
Since August 4, the unem-
Moved workers of Yakima
have been showing strength
Of unity in a manner hitherto
unbeard of in this city. All
roIief was cut off August 1.
This left the workers desti-
mte and at the point of
starvation. There was no
work and no relief.
Today the unemployed are
carrying on organized Strug-
Giles and winning their de-
mands. They are back re-
ceiving relief, this time with
out having to work for it.
They have won a nO-evictiOn
promise from the county COM
missiOners. Numerous work.
ers refused relief are being
fought for individually by
the workers action commit
tees, a great many of whom
are now organized in the I'm
employed Council.
HOP BARONS PLAN
Due to the activities and VIC
tories of the unemployed struggles
in the last few days, the Landlords,
hop barOns, and officials have
been holding meetings to deter
mine what their actions shall be.
The landlords are making plans to
evict the workers. But the pAan
most important to all of the work
erS of the United States is that
which the hop barons have drawn
up This is one of the most vic
iOus, heartless plans that they
could devise. The workers of
Mkima want this plan advertised
TO all Of the workers thruout the
country because it is to be used
against the entire working class.
This plan is to advertise to- all
Of the country that workers are
needed for hop picking in the
Hukima Valley. Workers will come
flOcking into the valley and the
hop growers will cut the wages Of
the limit. The workers of Yakima
refuse to work for the low wages
berg paid and the hop baron'
must find some way of combE ttins
them. There will not be enough
hop picking in the Yakima Vale!
