Chicago Militant Advance.

CnleagO mlDtant ADVANCE.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE indig-
nation of Chicago workers against
the attacks of the capitalist class
and politicians is expressing itself
in almost daily demonstrations and
struggles that are assuming more
and more of mass character involv-
ing considerable sections of the starv-
ing population. There is no doubt
that the starvation city government
is alarmed at the prospect of March
4th, Inauguration day, which will
combine into one mighty demonstra-
ton all those who are active in the
local struggles.
Among the most militant fighters
are the single workers are who in
revolt against the county commits
sioners and the relief commissions
denial of relief to single workers, the
taking back of the four dollars work
relief and the forcing of these work
ers back into the vile Lighthouses.
There is also a host of new appli-
cants who are denied any relief at
all.
Fighting to Hold Homes.
Another big group being involved
in the mass struggle against hunger
are the thousands of home owners
who are forced with the loss Of their
life savings which is represented in
these homes.
All the unemployed are under at
tack as is indicated by the threats
of relief cuts sponsored by the Asso-
citation of Commerce, the County
Commissioners and Joseph l.. Moss Of
the Public Welfare. These people are
held directly responsible for these
conditions.
The refusal Of the relief stations
to deal with committees OF workers
has caused the unemployed commit
tees to turn much of their activities
to the county commissioners, bank
ers, aldermen and those who are re-
sponsible for the policy of the relief
station management. 1t is to these
"higher-ups" that the committees
are making demands and complaints.
Many Local Demonstrations.
Yesterday committee Of unem-
ployed woke up Commissioner Kav-
anaugh Of 312 So. Ashland and got
him out of bed to hear their griey-
