MIR. I. G.. Scott, Farmer-Labor Alder
man Of the 10th Ward, had numer-
Gus committees in his office, demand
ing action to improve conditions of
the unemployed in that ward, forcing
him to even join with their commit
tees in demanding things from the
Welfare Board.
F. L. p. Uses More Denagogy.
In the 9th Ward, strong Farmer
Labor Ward, fifty per cent of the
membership Of the Farmer Labor
Club have joined the Unemployed
Council. In the 18th Ward the move
ment of the Unemployed Council has
taken on a mass character, forcing
the Farmer-Labor Alderman, David
Bloomberg to sign the Workers I'm
employment Insurance Bill. In the
Sixth Ward the Organizer of the I'm
employed Council, Harry Mayville, has
come close to defending Mr.. ePterson,
the Oldest Farmer-Labor Alderman, in
Minneapolis in the last city elections.
The Farmer-Labor Party got
alarmed. The Reds, as they term the
Unemployed Council, are making too
much progress amongst the unem-
ployed. They resolved to use more
left" maneuvers, to use more dema-
gogy in the attempt to hold back the
march of the unemployed. Forward
came the most cleft" of the F. L. P,
the Bennets and Youngdohls, Farmer
Labor Members Of the State Legis-
lature. But even this was insufficient.
The Farmer Labor Party resolved to
make use of its ''Most Left Wing"
the Trotsky renegade group in Min
neapolis.
United Front Against Unemployed.
On the 29th of october a confer
ence on Unemployed Relief" was
called and the proposed program was
a masterpiece Of radical phrases and
a reaetionary program, such pro-
| gram could only come as a result of
the intermarriage of Farmer Labor
and Trotskyites. The program called
for new "Self Help" schemes and
for the organization of a new uriem-
| ployed membership organization tifl-
der the leadership of the Farmer La
Dor takers. While the Trotskyites
took for themselves the theological
leadership of the conference they hid
themselves behind the skirts of the
| Far1ner-Labor government officials
and the leadership Of the A. F. of L.,
who came to the forefront as the face
Of the conference. (This upon def
mite agreement)
The delegates from the Communist
Party and Unemployed Council Sue
ceeded in laying bare the program pro-
| posed and introduced the program of
the Unemployed Council for the i'm
mediate demands of the unemployed
in the city, also the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill"
The Recovery Program" as they
called the original proposed by the
Trotskyites and the Farmer Labor
| takers, was defeated.
| The full program of the Unem-
ployed Council, was adopted; the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill was endorsed. The takers swung
to new maneuvers, to the adopting
Of the program Of the Unemployed
Council in words, while rejecting the
Unemployed Council as the organiza-
ton for the unemployed, and went in
favor of building q new organization,
which they named the Minneapolis
Central Council OF the Unemployed
attempting even TO steal the name
of the Unemployed Council) 1t is
en- this point that we had to break
with the conference.
