calling for an investigation of Com

supported by the agents of the La

lingS from the coal counties. AS far
as Communist activities are con-
cerned there is no secrecy beyond
protecting workers in industry who
belong to the Party from victimiza-
tion by bosses and company spies.
The aims and methods of the Party
are open and above board and no at
tempt is made to conceal them. The
bill is further attempt to attack
the working class that is showing in
creased resistance to the hunger drive

a party OF the petty bourgeoisie any
more. In the future shall sup
port a real working class party, the

working class, and that is more
than I can say for the Socialist

Civil Works Plan

JoblesS Off Relief
Promised Jobs Are Not
Given; Negroes Are
Starving

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 3S.-The
flrst week OF the Civil Works Admin
istration in New Orleans has exposed
be another method Of further oppress-
ing the workers and depriving them
OF the little relief they had been
getting Equally vicious has been its
systematic and open discrimination
against the Negro workers.
When the c. w. A. program was
first announced by Roosevelt, the re-
lief workers of this city were told that
they would be taken off the city relief
where they we're getting two days
work per week and some of them
more, at $3.50, and would be given
work on public works-30 hours per
week at minimum Of 40 cents per
hour. The first part OF the promise
has been fulfilled. They have been
taken OF relief! The promise to be
put to work on public works is still
waiting.
During the middle of November, the
New Orleans papers carried blazing
headlines: 5000 Unemployed To Go
to Work Monday, Nov. 20; Others OF
the 10000 Unemployed To Get Work
Soon," etc. Letters were also sent TO
all relief workers informing them Of
the change and asking that their
work cards be turned in. Let's see
what happened.

Hard Coal Miners q

Convention to Demand

Free Coal
BY DAN SINGER

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Nov "a
A call for an Unemployed and En-
ployed Convention Of the miners has
been made By the Unemployed
Council OF LUzerne County, to take
place in Wilkes-Barre, Pa, at the
Workers Center, 325 East Market St.
Sunday, Dec II, starting at 2 pm:
The call is being sent TO all local
unions Of the United Mine Workers
Of America ard local unions Of the
Anthracite Miners Of Pennsylvania,
and all craft unions Of the A. r. of L.
Traternel organizations, Unemployed
Council ed Unemployed Leagues.
Where -cll unions have been aban-
doned because of the closing down
Of the collieries, the miners are urged
TO call meetings and elect delegates,
Groups of workers are urged TO call
neighborhood meetings and elect Gel
egates.
Forced Labor Cuts Wages
The unemployed and employed
workers of Luzerne County must take
action at once to stop the further
worsening Of their conditions, through
the use Of the Civil Works program,
which is being brought forward with
another promise Of giving work to
millions Of unemployed. This scheme,
just like the N. r. A, which they said
would put 100000 back to work, will
only worsen the conditions OF the
workers, by lowering the standard OF
ord o,,f%fr1, fHo N
The promise of so cents an hour
with 30 hours per week means abso-
lutely nothing, other than means
Of taking away the relief from mil
lions OF workers. 1t does not even
guarantee one weeks work. 1t will
cut the wages Of skilled workers down
TO so cents per hour. The unen-
ployed miners must fight for the six
hour day, with eight hours pay, and
an increase Of 20 per cent in wages,
to meet the ever increasing cost OF
living. Under the present arrange
ment worker may be fired for any
cause whatever and thus deprived OF
receiving any relief in the future.
There is no security for the unem-
ployed against the misery. hunger and
starvation that now stalks through
the Anthracite.
Demand Social Insurance
Unemployed and Social Insurance
for all unemployed and part time
workers must be won. The unenn-
ployed convention will have as one OF
It's main demands, the immediate pas
sage OF the Workers Unemployed and
Social Insurance Bill. The unem-
ployed and employed workers organ
lied can stop wage cuts, they can
win relief for the unemployed.
For Free Coal
Unemployed and employed miners
must fight for free coal for the I'M
employed. This will give jobs 10
! thousands of idle miners. In the re-
/ cent strike of the miners, the strik-
ing miners found the unemployed
miners among the best fighters on
the picket lines for the demands Of
the miners. Elect your delegates TO
the Unemployed and Employed Con
yention. Where local unions do not
have regular meetings before the con-
yention, call special meetings and
elect delegates.
