Increased Relief
Asked in Capital
At Demonstration
Socialist Heads Relief
Station; Denies
Jobless Needs

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - In
the nations capital, the birthplace
of the NRA, 400 workers demon
strated at the local relief station
for more relief last Friday. The
demonstrators asked for an addi-
tional $3.50 food order for relief
workers who are employed two days
during alternating weeks at $3.50
a day.
Leroy Halburt, head of the re-
lief station, has been turning a deaf
ear to the needs of the jobless.
Halburt is member of the Social
ist Party. He called police on nu-
merous occasions to evict people
from the office when they COM
planned of insufficient relief.
Only empty promises were made
to the demands of the unemployed,
The demonstration was called by
the Unemployed Council and the
Tenants and Unemployed League,
Although large police force was
on hand there was no interference
with the meeting. Harold Spencer,
organizer of the Unemployed Coun-
Gil, spoke.

UNIONS ELECT ANTLWAR DELEGATES LID OFF WORLD ARMS RACE
Powers Agreed on
Unlimited Race in
Armament Making
y. S. to Increase Huge
Navy Building
Program

PARIS, Sept. 19.-The "Disarma-
ment Conference which opens in
Geneva October 10, will seal the for
NAL abandonment by all the capitalist
powers Of every pretense of even
slowing up the greatest armament
race in history.
This is made clear after the con-
versations here yesterday between
representatives of the British and
French cabinets, with Norman H.
Davis, U S. representative, keeping
in close informal contact with the
discussions.
AT the same time Great Britain and
the United States will oppose any
official exposure of Germanys active
re-arming, it was learned. This was
decided by Davis and Ramsay Mac
T}onald in their private discussion
Sunday France, moreover will agree
to German recruitment of standing
army above treaty strength.
This apparent capitulation to the
announcement of German spokesnen
that Germany would withdraw if
pressed too hard at the conference
actually reveals the maneuyers of the
powers to build up an anti-Soviet
front, with Germany as partici-
pant.
Great Britain and the United States
are declared ready to accept the
French proposal of suspension of any
disarmament" for a period of years,
during which the ornaments of the
powers would be subject to super
vision" Even this plan, however, is
snarled in a disagreement between
Great Britain, the u S. and France,
France wishing to penalize Germany
fos secret arms making, Great Bri-
tain and America insisting that no
sanctions" be invoked against any
country breaking the agreement.
The general plan on which the
powers are agreed is that the CONT
mental nations adopt uniform sys-
tenn of military training, that certain
types of war aircraft (for which COM
mercial craft can easily be substi-
tuted) be eliminated. that no reduc-
ton be made of any other type of
weapon, and that France and Italy
should join in the london Naval
treaty, which fixes naval ratios, CIV
ing the United States and Great Bri-
tain the largest naval power, and that
international supervision be adopted
instead of arms limitations for a Pc
ID of three or five years.
U. S. TO Increase Navy Program
WASHINGTON. Sept. 19.-Not only
will the Roosevelt government not
reduce its huge naval building pro-
gram in response to an alleged hint
from Great Britain that some kind
of new Naval reduction program be
arranged but, on the contrary, the
Government is determined to carry
through the largest Naval building
program in its history, Naval officials
declared today.
An increase of at least SO per cent
over the present enormous plane
building program will be asked at the
next Congress, Carl Vinson of the
House Naval committee said.
This program will require additional
millions from the public works pro-
gram fund, Vinson said.

Seamen Special War Sufferers
No group OF workers suffers as
keenly from war as the marine work
ers, especially the seamen. Longsllore
casualties rank at the head of the
list even in peace time. At sea, the
marine workers face conditions no
other workers are brought up against.
In the last war, $1,000 merchant sea-
men lost their lives in disasters di-
rectly resulting from the war. Thou
sands more were lost in other acct
dents due to running without lights
on dangerous coasts, and similar
causes. One country, Norway, lost
over half Of its merchant fleet, al
though it was not "in the war" Other
nations lost thousands of tons of
shipping and thousands Of men. The
true total will never be known. But
the loss did not hit the shipowner.
His "risk" was insured. The lives of
the workers were not insured. The
seaman is not good risk. A vessel
that reached port with one cargo Of
the murder supplies paid for herself.
AS the marine workers are among
the greatest sufferers from war, and
as the government makes its greatest
efforts to check and control these
workers and to keep them loyal, so
too, the marine workers have been
the most active group in all anti-war
activities.

Another Chinese crew, under the
influence of the Red Seamen's Union
of China, tied up transport loaded
with British troops and munitions

The Marine Workers Industrial
Union has taken foremost position
in the agitation against imperialist
war. 1t has been a main support of
the demonstrations against war which
have taken place in this country. Its
patrols o. the waterfront have been
instrumental in exposing the ship
ment of munitions and war materials
to Japan and South America. It's
activities have exposed the false pre-
tensions of the American government,
which claimed that little or no nu-
nitions left American ports. 1t has
also taken part in several small &C
tons against shipment Of munitions,
although none Of them was successful
in stopping ship.
The MWIU has supported every
campaign and move against imperial
ist war, and will take very active
part in the coming United States

Kansas Unemployed
March Asks More
Pay On County Jobs
Democrat ontr O lied
Organization Turned
Into Military Body

KANSAS CITY, Kan-With the
starvation relief program unchang-
ed despite the NRA, and winter not
far away, 750 workers marched to
the Wyandotte county court house
to demand wage increases on county
relief jobs. The march was arranged
by the Armourdale Unemployed As
ISOLATION.
Initiated by local democratic
politicians in order to gain votes,
the workers have turned the asso-
citation into a militant body for
their own purposes.
At the meeting with the county
commissioners, Clarence Staten,
president of the association tried
to hide the demands of the Unem-
ployed. He praised the county
commissioners who are responsible
for the low pay on county work
and said that 1--WE appreciate what
you have done for the unemployed.
James Lawson, member of the
organizations executive showed the
horrible conditions where heads of
families are given one day a week
work for which they get $500. In
addition they receive $3.50 in groc-
cries, Usually this must last for
two and at times three weeks. This
starvation condition means death
for many workers this winter if no
changes are made, was the charge
made by Lawson.
Lawson reported to the workers
who visited outside the court house
that the commissioners lodged their
demands. The workers asked for a
minimum of 40cents an hour and a
80 hour week on all county work.
A: W. Barry spoke for the Unem-
ployed Council. He exposed the
NRA program of relief cutting for
the unemployed and reducing wages
of the employed.

Workers Plan to
Resist Fascist
Coup in Austria

VIENNA, Sept. 19.-As the danger
of fascist coup d'etat, led by Prince
Stahremberg's armed Home Guard
legions became a sharp reality, rank
and file members of Viennese work
ers' organizations declared they were
preparing to offer armed resistance
to the Fascists.
Dissention among Chancellor Doll
fuss supporters as to the degree of
Fascism to impose on Austria as a
substitute for the theatened Nazi
seizure of power made the danger of
violent action by Stahremberg's le-
gions acute.
Meanwhile Theodor Mabicht, Nazi
inspector for Austria" declared that
the Nazi campaign to take over Aus
tria would be intensified, in speech
before large gathering in Munich.
This is the issue that will decide
the battle of Germanism in Europe, ;"
Habicht declared.
The Austrian Heimwehr (Home
Guard Fascists have prepared a
series Of demands on Dollfuss, in
Guiding the resignation of Franz
Winkler, vice. chancellor, who is op-
posed to full Fascism, and the re-
placing of Karl Vaughn, Minister of
War, by Emil Fey, Minister of
Security.

NEW YORK. that the
unemployed would be the first to be
sent by the capitalist class into the
first of the impending new world
war, I. Amter, National Secretary of
the Unemployed Councils of Amer
lea, issued a ringing call today to
all Unemployed Councils, Leagues,
Associations and other organizations
to send large delegations to the
United States Congress Against War,
which will open its sessions in Mecca
Temple and st. Nicholas Arena,
New York City on Sept. 10Th.
''rhe United States Congress
Against War must include large
numbers of delegates of unemployed
organizations. The interests of the
unemployed are opposed to those of
the employers as embodied in the
MIRA" Amter stated in his call.
Roosevelt and Wall Street want war
we must fight against it. The I'M
employed will be the first to be put
into the army in case of war. They
viii be used to slaughter the tens

which most Of the recent additions
to the American merchant marine
were built, allows the government to
lend the shipowner rs per cent of the
cost of the vessel, provided it is built
according to plans approved by the
Navy Department, and provided it Is
kept in condition to be used as an
auxiliary in time Of war.
Would Make Seamen Scab on Selves
In this way it keeps trained per-
sonnet Of officers and men, ready for
immediate draft into the armed
forces, if need be, in war. The mer-
chant officers are practically forced
into the Naval Reserve. For eleven
years the reformist International
Seamen's Union has advocated a ma
val reserve Of seamen with short
period Of enlistment in the navy and
preference on all jobs after that en-
listment has expired. This would OBJ
viously force all seamen into the Ma
val Reserve. And it would put them
all into the strikebreaking forces. In
case OF a strike the government could,
and would, call them ito the colors''
to scab on themselves. We had such
an experience with government strike
breaking in 1921.
No group Of industrial workers is
as close to the armed forces as the
marine workers. That Is especially
true in the United States. But it is
also true of every imperialist nation
today. Any war is Immediately de-

ident Wilson informing him that no

lutionary workers of the Soviet Union

that shipments of munitions were

Using the Kernel.

your note on jazz touched the
right spot writes the young prole-
tartan composer Ellie Siegmeister. I'VE
in the Composers Collective Of the
Pierre Degeyter Club have often dis
cussed this subject. Our general aim
in working toward proletarian music
is that it be national in form, reYo-
lutionary in content.
what other really national music
have we in this country beside jazz?
Consequently as musicians we are
faced with the problem: how to ell
inmate all that is false, cheap, sexy,
historical in this music and yet re-
tain the essential American note. For
there is no doubt, if Our proletarian
music is to be something other than
a reflection of Russian or German
models. if it is really to serve the
class struggle in this country, it must
speak the language of the American
masses
"The good part of jazz sprang out
of the fresh, spontaneous invention
Of a number of Negro and white
composers who managed to set down
in musical terms those peculiar
rhythms and significant twists Of the
voice which mark of tiae American
dialect from the English.
ssTheir tricky, intricate irregular
rhythmic patters were definitely an
American creation, an expression Of
a certain native ng4nt -hearteaifess,
yigor and joy of life.
However, as jazz grew more popH-
lar, it caused regular musical in
vestment boom. Tin Pan Alley sprang
up. and what had at first been an
original and fresh reaction towards
life began to be ground out Ike sau-

ssYet I for one cannot believe that
Jazz should be discarded altogether.
1t will ultimately be the job Of the
American proletarian composer to
take the living rhythmic kernel Of
jazz, and instead Of using it for
wf1oopee, enlist it to express the vigor
