VET LEADS FIGHT VS..
COPS IN RELIEF STATION

CHICAGO, ul.-Albany Park con-
SistS of white collar workers and
Storekeepers. A year ago our six or
CARNATIONS met in small basement;
today we have a center in an office
building and we have thirteen diff
ferent organizations meeting here
now. We also have a library, kitchen
we'll equipped, and in the main hall
we have lectures, dances, etc.
Our Unemployed Council has
grown to over 300 members in six
months time. We are recognized in
the Relief Stations on the North
Side. We have different committee
of 3, going to each Relief Station
every day to take UP cases that are
urgent. These committees force the
supervisor to act on all cases pre-
sented by the Council the same day.
It happened that one week the
committee was thrown out of the
Relief Station every day. So on Jan.
9Th, committee of fifteen went to
the Relief Station. When the super
visor saw the large committee, she
told the spokesman that she would
recognize the Council and she pleaded
with him not to start any trouble
in the station.
Everything went along well till
about two in the afternoon, when we
heard conmetien on the other side
Of the station. We all rushed over
there just in time to see a woman
striking the assistant supervisor in
the face. She then yelled to the I'M
employed in the station: I'm an
American citizen, born and raised
here and I'll be damned If I will
let them starve my children. have
been coming here over q month to
get food for my children and that
dirty Miss Walters tells me that my
case has been transferred to another
station.
The supervisor came over and in
Structed the policeman there and
other case workers to throw her out.
The policeman tried to use his club
but we closed in on him. One of our
young Unemployed Council members
got up on bench and spoke to the
workers there to organize and not
to let the tools of the capitalists
throw woman out who had the
nerve to stand up and fight for her
starving children. All the office work.
ers and the policeman surrounded
the speaker and tried to drag him
off, but one of our committeeman, 6
feet tall, an ex-serviceman, grabbed
one of the case workers and said:
IF you are looking for a fight we
will give 1t to you
BY this time all the unemployed
workers in the station yelled, eve
are with you" In 2 minutes there
were about so policemen with clubs
and guns drawn, rushed in; nobody
moved. The supervisor called our
spokesman over and begged him to
restore order and the police would be
withdrawn. We all sat down and the
police left. We sent a COMMITTEES OF
four with this woman to the other
Relief ; aation and got her results
immediately.

this opinion of the open grand
