Demand for Relief
Heard in Capital
Ask Roosevelt If $3.50
a Week "Sufficient"

WASHINGTON.-Over 500 Negro
and white jobless workers demon
strated in the nations capital under
the leadership of the Unemployed
Council last Friday. A parade
through the streets, with banners
denouncing the dismissal of 5000
government employees, under the
Blue Eagle, demanding the restora-
ton of the pay-cut to government
clerks, for social and unemployment
insurance, preceded the open DEM
onstration at the relief station.
One banner captioned: "Mr. Roose-
velt--how would you like to live on
$3.50 a week?" was particularly re-
sented by the Roosevelt police. They
attempted to provoke a riot at the
relief station. They would not, at
first, allow the speakers to address
the workers, but they failed.
Speakers from the Unemployed
Council and the Communist Party
addressed the meeting.
A delegation presented the de-
mands of the unemployed workers to
the relief director, Mr.. Halburt He,
good, dues-paying member of the
Socialist Party" answered that the
demands of the Council for $3.50
food order every week, that single
workers be given work, and that
rent Of married workers be paid by
the relief station, by saying that
these demands will be considered by
his committee. These demands have
been made some weeks ago, and II
the relief station wanted they could
have answered already.

Workers Protest

Workers Protest
The mass protest of the workers,
including the demonstration of ten
thousand strikers on Saturday, is in
creasing against the attempts to
frame up the leadership of the strike,
the active N. T. w. U. members. The
Passaic Herald News of Friday re-
veals this frame up In its crudest
form, stating: "The strikers, it is al
legged, opened fire with pistols. f..
The police, it was said, did not re-
turn the fire" The Sunday Eagle Of
Paterson says: ut just seems as
though it must become the habit of
certain radicals to create trouble and
once more put Patersons fair name
back into the gutter"
The workers, led by the N.T.W.U.
and the LID, are not through with
the case. The main purpose of the
shootings of the police, at orders of
the mill owners have failed. The
strike has not been broken. The
strikers have not been sent back to
work at the point Of gunfire. The
mass picket lines continue. The
strikers must see to 1t that those re-
sponsible for this frame up are fully
exposed and that in spite of terror
and frame up of leaders, the strike
with the slogan of unity Of all dye
strikers in one union, continues to
victory.

Sixth Ave. Agency
Preys on JOblesS

NEW K.-Mulcting unern-
,loyed workers by employment agen-
cies has been repeatedly reported to
the Daily Worker.
The latest complaint was brought
by two Bronx workers, Ted Harris,
of 1900 Bronx Park East, and Sol
KATE, 1909 Kelly st.
According to Harris, he paid SO to
the Academy Employment Agency at
1851 Sixth Ave. for a job a. paint
err. He was given two and one-half
days work with Mr.. Harrison, paint
contractor, all West 53rd st.
For this work he was paid $8.25,
that Is, $3.50 day.
When this ill-paying job ended,
Harris returned to the agency and
complained against the inadequacy
of the job and the wages. To this
Mr.. Dictrow, of the above agency re-
piled with demand for an addi-
tional dollar, for which Harris would
be sent on another Job, at $3.50 a
day.
At the new job he was offered $40
week, which he refused to accept.
At the agency he demanded his
money back. ~
They offered him $2.40. When he
insisted to have all his money re-
funded, he was showed into the back
room and threatened by gangsters.
The other worker, Sol KATE, paid
IS to the same agency for Job as
counterinan at delicatessen store.
At the same store he was told that
no help was wanted.
In despair he returned to the
agency where he was made to wait
for another job. But he was not
given any other Job and his money
was never returned to him.

the ground that he had the weapon
ION private property" The second
clash came at the National Silk Dye
Co. at East Paterson, after the Clifton
A. r. Of L. picket line met the N. T.
w. U. pickets by arrangement, where
the police shot up the picket line,
and followed this by cornering all
possible pickets, beating them I'M
mercifully and arresting IS.
Pickets Return in Afternoon
The third clash Of the day came at
the same plant when the strikers
at 1 O'Clock in the afternoon, returned
to the National Silk picket line, and
picketed in the face Of another bar
rage Of tear gas bombs and club
bings. In this afternoons clash, the
police seriously injured Lem Di Graf
by clubbings in the spine.
The papers Immediately reported
the shooting as the work Of the
strikers. The Paterson News Friday
stated, There was only one police
man on duty at the time. He was
Frederick Kaugh, and fired several
shots in the air to brighten the
stoners. They returned the fire.
Police Chief william Bulmer raced
to the scene with 10 patrolmen. He
was followed by Under Sheriff Ed

ties" etc.

The local N. r. A. Board (headed

N. Y. Metal Union
Calls Convention
Map Plan to Root
Union in Heavy
Industry

NEW YORK. - To mobilize the
strength of the union in order to root
it in the shipyards, and heavy metal
shops, the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union is calling district
convention on Saturday and Sunday,
Nov. II and IL at Irving Plaza, 18th
Street and Irving Place, on Saturday
at P. M.
Reviewing the gains made during
recent strike struggles, the Union in
its call to the convention declares
that the great majority of the strikes
were won under its leadership and
resulted in higher pay and shorter
hours to the workers. The metal
workers have learned that they can
keep their victories and achieve fur
ther gains only through strengthen
ing their union, which has led them
in struggle, the call points out. The
district convention will review the
lessons OF the work of the past few
months and prepare for coming
struggles.

cue from the NA.ACP, Governor
Richie refused to revoke the order
for the hanging of Fuel Lee on Fri
day.
Richie Had Ample Warning
Governor Ritchie, Plate like, con-
tinued today to wash his hands of
the blood of George Armwood. He
insisted again that sole responsibility
for the removal Of Ar1nwood to Prin-
cess Anne rests with Judge Duer and
States Attorney Robins. Ritchie's
alibi is challenged even in the local
bourgeois press. The Baltimore Sun
on Saturday published a tabulation
Of phone calls to the governor on
the day of the lynching which clearly
show that Ritchie had had ample
warning and could have prevented
the lynching. AT one o'clock in the
afternoon, he was advised there
might be trouble in Princess Anne
that night" At 7;50 he was in
formed by the Baltimore Sun that
the crowd was attacking the jail. At
$3.50 he was notified by the Associ-
ated Press that the crowd looked like
trouble. A few minutes later Gen
eral Rockford informed the governor
he had had call for reinforcements
from the so state troopers and deputy
sheriffs at Princess Anne. The gov
ernor refused to act.
1t was not until o'clock that the
crowd gained access to the jail, with
the admitted cooperation Of the
jailers, and took out Armwood for q.
prolonged torture, leisrrely dragging
him behind an automobile through
the main streets of the town, pun
melting and tearing his clothes from
him, before they finally hanged him
on a tree in front of Judge Duer's
home.
Officials Make No Arrests
Today, five days after the lynch
ing, no arrests had been made nor
are any anticipated in the near flu
ture.
With the Negro masses and white
workers boiling with resentment, an
attempt is now being made to center
attention on the inquest to be held
in Princess Anne tomorrow by Cor
oner Edgar A. Jones. Promises are
also made of a grand jury inquiry.
Both the coroner's jury and the
grand jury are hand-picked an-white
juries. The social composition of the
Jurors are being kept secret. Neither
their occupations nor their addresses
are on the court records.

DENVER, Colo. Oct. % - Armed
with machine guns, gas bombs and
shotguns, the sheriff came to the
Puritan Mine last Monday and told
the men they better go to work, be-
cause contract had been signed with
the UAWA. Out of 220 miners $50
refused to sign up with the UMWA.
The men are solid against the check
off which goes to the Lewis bench
men.
At the Baum mine the miners held
a meeting and rejected the check-off
and membership in the UNWA by a
vote of 1903 to nothing, with 81 miners
not present. The fight of the miners Is
not against the rank and file OF the

and his district officials. The miners
