TALK NEW TORS
TO CUT RELIEF
Many Hun CRY Re-
moved from Lists

Cutting off Of relief IN all parts Of
the country is being covered up with
lying talk about increasing employ
ment.' Reports in the capitalist press
about workers being put on Jobs are
dwindling almost to nothing. This
shows that the paid propagandists of
the press are having difficulty finding
subjects for such stories.
Yesterday the press carried reports
from Rome, Georgia, OF increases in
the number of workers employed in
ten unnamed manufacturing plants.
From Philadelphia there was 6 re-
port of employment increasing one
per cent. That report was sent out BY
the Federal Reserve Bank. This IL
due solely to the slight seasonal
advance in textile production.
All these announcements are ac-
companied by very definite news that
relief is being Gu. off on the pretext
that workers can find jobs, This
clearly shows that instead Of condi-
lions of workers improving they are
getting still worse. More than ever 1t
is essential to put forth in most de-
cisiye terms Of mass action the de-
mands for no cutting Of refef, but
immediate increases ans for unem-
ploynent insurance,

500 Columbia Students Out in
l Day Strike; 1000 More Join

NEW YORK AT the protest dem
onstration held at Columbia Uni
versity over 1000 students filled the
Library steps in front of Alma Mater
to demand the disappointment of
Donald Henderson. The administra-
ton announced that there had been
500 actual strikers and their enthu-
siasm rallied the rest of the students
when the meeting reached its peak
around noon
Raise Strike Flag
strike flag was raised during the
night and was flying serenely when
the students arrived in the morning.
Two students we're arrested for paint
ing strike signs on the campus. The
International Labor Defense got them
out of Jail in time to attend the strike
A casket labeled Academic Free

Mater statue. The strike opposition
rushed it but the meeting Immediately
moved from the Sun Dial to the Lib
rary steps in front of Alma Mater
and continued there.
The crowd was becoming immense
when an effigy of Pres. Nicholas
Murray Butler was raised from the
speakers stand. Students under the

The apprentices are supposed to get
raise in salary yearly, but these
raises have been held back already a
year, and it looks as If its going to
be a long time till they'll get their
raises.
Apprentice Wages for Skilled Work.
The apprentices don't get their
raises, but they continue to develop
themselves in their respective trades,
with the result that the government
lays off mechanics and keeps the ap-
prentice boys, for obvious reasons.
AS far as revolutionary work goes,
we have a group of workers from var
ious shops in the yard. The workers
from the machine shop carry on OPP
position to the A. F. of l.. Machiuist
Union. AT our meetings we discuss
our problems and what we have to
do. The group issues educational and
organizational literature.
The group includes also some of the
apprentice boys, ana organizational
and agitational work is being carried
on among them.
This, comrades, we hope is the start
of real correspondence. Hoping for
a quick answer.

March To Home
The meeting was adjourned at ] 80
and msrch around the campus
started. The opposition was again
smashed out of the way as the march
proceeded to Pres. Buffers home with
500 in line
After q short stop in front of Pres.
Buffers home the students marched
back on the campus and declared
the strike officially ended.
An unidentified worker was arrested
for aiding the striking students and
was hurried off to jail.
The National Student League is
planning further protest on nation
wide scale and will continue the fight
along different tack during the
summer. The fight will continue
until nonald Henderson is re-
appointed.

Planned Wage Cutting.
The new bill, called the Industry
bill, is designed to enable the fed
eral government directly to intervene
in the fixing of all wages, hours and
conditions Of labor. IL will also fi2
production schedules, and close down
plants that are not needed in this
schedule. The abolition of all anti

establish greater degree of monop-

In every way the bill is slashing
attack upon the poor and directly
helps the rich.
Big Fund for War Purposes.
The bill provides for a federal bond
issue of $1,000 100000. A portion Of
the fund will be assigned TO states
and municipalities and the remainder
is to be used directly by the federal
government for naval building, con-
struction of army posts, road con-

FAKE RAISES IN

by . Young Worker Correspondent
I BALTIMORE, Md.-In some of the
industries In Baltimore the employers
ecut the wages of the workers about
40 per cent a few days before the in
flation came into effect. A few days
after, the same employers raised the
cut wages by ten per cent, still leav-
ing a ten per cent cut, but the papers
cry out loud about the raise"
A.. certain furniture company in
South Baltimore, week before in
flation took place, tried to give the
workers a 10 per cent cut. The work.
ers protested in spite of the slack
season, and showed they we're work
ing only few hours week. The
bosses, seeing the workers unity in
the protest, came to an agreement

Hearst Shouts End

BY Printing Worker Correspondent
CHICAGO, Ill.-On the same day
that Forbes (columnist on financial
affairs in the Herald and Examiner"
Hearst's gutter sheet) wrote so glow
lngly on the upturn Of American bus
mess, and Brisbane in his column
condescendingly let the American
public in on the fake news that the
depression was a thing of the past
what do you suppose was posted on
the bulletin board?
Nothing else but that, due to the
struggle for supremacy in the field of
circulation between the rival morn
ing papers, and that since the future
promotion work was to be based on
the number of paid-up subscriptions
every employee was expected to do
his duty in subscribing to their own
newspaper, A years advance sub
scription was stressed
