the winning of higher wages by the

The leaflet then states:
I'VE unemployed started TO or
ganize. But a few stOol-pigeons and
reactionaries got in control of the
Unemployed League at the begin
ming. They have BLOCKED every
move from the rank and file to put
up real fight for the relief we
need. They have run the organiza-
ton like Czars. They disguised the
members and broke down the or
ganization."
8. The leaflet then speaks of the
need of organization with rank and
file control to fight for more relief,
against evictions, against forced la

striking example of how acts OF

National Secretary of Unemployed
CounciIs)


On Saturday, August 10, the Daily
Worker contained an editorial en-
titled "a Dangerous Practice" con-
demning leaflet supposedly issued
by the Unemployed Council of Salem,
Ohio, in which the leaders of the I'm
employed Leagues as whole alleged
ly were characterized as "stoolpigeons
and sabotagers Of unity" It was cor
rect for the Daily Worker to react in
this manner, on being apprised of the
alleged situation by A. j. Music Of
the Conference for Progressive Labor
Action. The Daily Worker declared
that it would at the same time try
to procure all the facts, In order to
put an end to such practices.
The National Committee OF the IN
employed Councils has investigated
the matter and makes the following
statement:
l. The 1eaflet was not issued by
the Unemployed Council, since none
exists in Salem, Ohio. 1t was issued
by the rank and file committee Of
the Unemployed League" Music or
ganization.
Q. The leaflet did not charge the
national and state leadership OF the
Unemployed Leagues with being
stoolpigeons. The leaflet deals with
the new DEAL" with the necessity
Of organization. 1t then proceeds to

Victory Won by Gates
Ave. Block Committee
for Negro Family

NEW YORK.-The Gates Avenue
Block Committee recently brought
Negro families who had been denied
relief to the Home Relief Bureau.
One family, widow with IL children,
was given relief Immediately as
result of the determined stand put up
by the committee.
Relief was also won for the second
case. But when the third family was
presented the officials claimed they
could find no record of the case and
a re-application would be neces-
sary. The committee objected to
this decision, and as result the Re
lief Bureau thugs hustled the work
ers out of the Bureau. The Gates
Avenue Block Committee, consist
ing largely Of Negroes, pledges itself
to come back to the Bureau in great
er numbers in the future.
