CHRISTMAS RELIEF WON IN
IN BELFAST

The Belfast unemployed, following
upon their magnificent fight last Oc-
tober, when their mass action forced
the Belfast Guardians to increase the
relief scales of man and wife from
8 to 20 shillings per week, have now
won another victory.
At the beginning of December the
Guardians decided to give extra
Christmas relief amounting to shil-
lings for every man and shillings
for every woman.
Just as the first Belfast victory en-
Unused the unemployed throughout
Ireland and England, and was respon-
sible for the 25 per cent increase in
Dublin and the abolition of such re-
strictions as food tickets, so will this
victory for Christmas relief be an en-
couragement for the Irish unemployed
in their struggle for extra winter re-
lief.
Again Belfast shows that increased
relief can be won--brlt it can only be
won through the pressure Of mass
actionl

IMPORTANT CORRECTION

The name of Louis Weinstock

Of Unemployed Councils to place

Senate Committee conducting hear
ings on the Lafollette- Costigau
bill calling for $500, 100000 appro-
priatiOn for unemployment relief.
Weinstock will appear before the
Senate Committee but will repre-

FARMERS ACTION
PREVENTS SALE
300 Storm Courthouse
in Iowa

LEMARS, Ia, Jan. 5.--MaSs sc-
ton of farmers to prevent forced
sales of their property is spreading
ike wildfire. Yesterday 800 angry
Plymouth County farmers STONED
the court house, grabbed Sheriff II.
z. Ripley and Judge G. w. Pitts OF
the district court, and threatened
Herbert S. Martin, a New York law
yer, in such a determined manner
that the sale of the foreciosed farm
OF John A. Johnson, 3 farmer, had
To be stopped,
This action comes only two days
after farmers in three Iowa counties
blocked forced sales by refusing to
bid and one day after farmers in
Erwinna, Pa., bid IN a fellow-farm-
er's property for $118 and returned
it to him.
Farmers Refuse 10 Bid.
Martin acted as the agent Of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
which holds a $4,000 mortgage on
the johnson farm. At the sale not
q single farmer made bid, and
Martin was finally compelled to do
his own bidding, offering $4,000 in
the name Of the Efe insurance com
pany. Here the lawyer stopped, in
tending to seize the farmers other
possessions to cover the $4,000. 1t
was this that aroused the crowds
anger and they swooped down on the
startled agents of the mortgage
holder and forced the lawyer to send
a wire asking permission to raise
the bid to the full S33, 900.
Halt Sales.
AS a result of the farmers action,
the county officials have announced
that no forced sales would be held
for at least a month.
Mass action by farmers in defense
of their homes and the right to live
was called for by the National Farm
Relief Conference, recently held in
Washington, at which farmer del
egates from more than 80 states were
present.
More Fake Relief.
WASHINGTON, Jan 5-While
the House is debating the Jones BILL,
which in the gIIise of raising farm
prices, actually plans to foist
super sales tax on both farmers and
workers, new farm relief" projects
are being Matched. Instead Of a
moratorium on all farm mortgages,
taxes and rents, which impoverished
farmers throughout the country are
demanding. three so-called refinanc-
ing schemes were proposed in the
House yesterday.
Instead of casa relief to the starv-
ing farmers, one such bill proposes
loan by the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation-with interest at per
cent--to the extent of so per cent
of the indebtedness on the mort
gage. If the farmer can persuade
the mortgage-holder to take SO per
cent, o. K, otherwise he's out of
luck.

what was done. This is one Of a
series of relief struggles won here.
This goes to show that organizing in
the Unemployed Councils will keep
the relief mongers in their place.
They have a higher regard for the
workers when they are organized.

take him before a federal judge and
demand that his $4,000 bail be in
validated. The ruling provides that
a bailed person is the prisoner Of those

more than 100000 but his attorney
said he had obtained prosecution con-

he plunged a kitchen knife into his
chest, but it struck rib and the cut
proved to be not serious.

SEE PEACE IN ASIA
IF CHINESE LEADERS
BOW BEFORE JAPAN
Nipponese Army Chief Says
Drive Will Continue II They
Persist in Folly

Changchun, Manchuria, Nav o.
Belief that peace will be established
soon in the north China war zone was
coupled Monday by Lieut.. Gen. Kun
iaki Koiso, chief of staff of Japan
csc continental armies, with the warn
ing that II Chinese leaders "in their
folly challenge an invasion OF Peip-
Ing and Tientsin, the Japanese were
fully prepared.
Peaceful intentions" must be prov
ed, the general declared, before nego-
tiations for any cessation Of hostilities.
II the Chinese cease menacing our
present lines east and north of Peip-
Ing, we will retire to the great WALL"
he asserted. I'VE desire to occupy
neither Peiping nor Tientsin nor a
single foot OF other Chinese territory.
"The sole aim of our advances south
Of the great wall has been to destroy
Chinese bases of attack, making
further threats against the Manchu-
kuo border impossible"
If, in their folly, Chinese war
lords challenge us to enter the Peip-
ing and Tientsin area" he warned,
we are fully prepared to face their
100000 or more troops.
Il am optimistic, however, that
peace will be concluded soon."
The great wall Is regarded by both
japanese military headquarters and
the Manchukuan government as the
northern boundary of China. It was
for that reason that Jehol province,
north of the wall. was seized from
Chine In March.
I'VE are interested only in safe
guarding Manchukuo's frontier along
the great WALL" said the general.
If an armistice is concluded soon,
he declared the Japanese army will
not support any of the various pro-
jects for a buffer state between Man.
chukuo and China.
