GIVE RELIEF IN
HARLEM; WORKERS
COME ORGANIZED

NEW YORK.-Two workers were
given food and rent checks at once
and special Investigators were sent
to make immediate investigations OF
other cases when delegation Of rs
workers led by the Upper Harlem IN
employed Councils made demands at
the Home Relief Bureau at 235 E.
125th Street Thursday. The officials
had to promise that all cases investi-
gated would be given relief Friday
without the usual red tape.
One of those who received aid was
a mother and child who had been
sleeping in the Subways for two
weeks!
The delegation was joined by other
workers at the bureau and a COM
mittee of five was admitted who
vigorously made the demands while
the workers outside made themselves
heard by shooting.

massive, dirty red-brick block Of the
Berlin Police headquarters: brain
and heart of Berlin's law and order.
The nerve-centre with ramifications
in every corner of this city with its
four million inhabitants: card in
dexeS, files stacked in the cold grey
offices, warrants, photographs and
finger prints. Here we're the offices of
the Political Department IA, with the
names of all prominent Communists
carefully indexed.
The red-brick building on the
ALEX" swarmed with vermin and
high officials. Bug Castle" the Ber-
lin population called it. Once the Red
Police President, Emil Eichorn, had
ruled here, here Spartacus had
fought, here countless revolutiol AIRY
workers had been tortured and sem
fenced, and here today lived and
ruled the man who wrote: So
blood is to flow in the streets OF
Berlin on the first OF Mayr'
The policemen on duty at the en-
trance Of the headquarters looked
suspiciouSly after the three workers
who had walked past and were dis
appearing in one of the long corri-
doris. Perhaps he ought not to have
let pass without examination those
three suspicious-look figures ON the
eve of May 1st.
ILL AT EASE
Old Tolle did not feel at ease. The
many doors with their Incompetent
sible, maddening name plates made
him nervous. Gentlemen with sharp,
rimlesS glasses ran through the pas
sages and looked strangely at the
three workmen. A police officer with
out cap and belt looked out of the
door Of a room and called a clerk
who turned at once and ran back
quickly.
Pardon, sir the civilian
clicked his worndoWn heels audibly.
Tolle had never before seen an Of
ficer without helmet or cap on. But
here these gentlemen were at home,
after all, he himself would not run
about with a hat on in his own
home. But somehow this shining bald
head OF the officer disturbed him.
They did not like to ask for the
room of the Police President and
went straight on as if they knew the
great building as well as all the
others did. The heavy boots Of the
three building workers resounded on
the stone floor.
They were lucky, for suddenly they
found themselves in front of a big
grey door, to which a small white
cardboard notice printed with shin
ing black letters, was affixed:
POLICE PRESIDENT
Enquiries: Room zoe.
Tolle looked for the paper in his
pocket on which they had carefully
and neatly written the resolution OF
protest. He was furious with himself.
Damn it all, the Police President was
only party comrade whom they had
themselves raised to his present posi-
ton. He would just go into his room
and say: "Good-day, comrade Presi-
dent, We want to present this reso-
luton to you. Look here, comrade,
I'm sure you will be interested to
know what social democratic work
er thinks Of your proclamation. This
sort Of thing is really impossible,
comrade President.

with slogans demanding the release

retaliation in such cases is the mil
liant mass protest of the working
class in defense of their victimized
brothers. THE workers are beginning
more and more to see that in my
case it was not an individual who
was Disseminated against, but than
it is symbolical Of the whole rotten
frame-up system. The frame-up is
the most despicable weapon in thd8
hands of the ruling class when deal
ing with those workers who are true
and loyal to their class interests, and
who cannot be bought, sold, or ex-
changed. The fact that you have been
selected blythe master class as one Of
their victims is credit to you. It
proves your worth and effectiveness.
81 extend to you my warmest pro-
letarian greetings and urge you never
to yield or falter in the sacred strug-
gle for the rights of the working class
and for the abolition of the whole
frame-up system.

One feature of this project is
that many women are being

that will help them in the future.
In most instances the women are
