The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-03-10

Aonstration the following day at
tie courthouse in Pottsville, this
attempt TO hold the workers back
was again shown by Heimbach in
his speech. Peter Onicik, chair
man of the Shenandoah Uneni-
ployed Council, was chairman Of
the meeting, and when Onicik
spoke of the splendid demonstra-
ton Of solidarity of the Unem-
ployed Union in this united front
demonstration, there was loud
applause.
But again Heimbach did not
mention the State Hunger March
and again I was forced to an
nounce the decision Of the Unem-
ployed Union to send 10 delegates
to Harrisburg. At this united front
demonstration, where in spite Of
snow and cold, about 500 to coo
workers marched through the
main streets OF Pottsville 10 the
courthouse 10 delegates were cleo
ted TO the State Hunger March
including some delegates proposed
by the Unemployed Union, and
the Unemployed Union Is going
to add more delegates af its next
meeting.
The county commissioners who
had promised to receive our COM
miJtee, ran away, leaving a clerk
to meet the committee.
The Unemployed Council OF
Schuylkill County Is going to or
ganize q mass march on the
county COURTEOUS in Pottsville
as soon as the State Hunger
March is ended, and undoubtedly
the Unemployed Union Of Potts
vile will participate.
Cullmn showed his fundamen-
tai opposition to the united front
and his narrow outlook when he
wrote some days ago to Heimbach
chat he needed help" in fighting
the Unemployed Council who "are
muscling in and threatening to
take the whole thing over" But
the members OF the Unemployed
Union understand better than
Cullum the need for unity. They
understand as do many members
OF the Socialist Party, that no
matter what organization the
workers belong to, no matter
what religion or race they are,
they need solidarity and unity
to win more relief.
We must beware of organizers
who attempt to hold the workers
back. We must Judge these or
ganizers not only by words but by
deeds.
Cullum, in a statement to the
local press, emphasized that the
. Unemployed Union is a purely
local. organization. For Cullum to
attempt to keep the Unemployed
Union a purely local. organiza-
ton is TO break the unity OF the
unemployed, to split off the Pot
tsville unemployed struggle from
the rest Of the state and country.
The Pottsville unemployed need
to be connected with the uneni-
ployed movement in Sclluylkill
county, in the entire state and in
the country, if they are to win
unemployment relief, and the
members Of the Unemployed
Union and of the Socialist Party
in Pottsville understand this il
Cullum does not, and they are
working on the basis Of unity and
solidarity of al workers.
The Shenandoah Unemployed
Council has requested that several
Of their number will be added TO
the executive committee Of the
Unemployed Union, so that the
members of The Unemployed
Council In Shenandoah can con-
tinue to give their support and
help to the Pottsville unemployed,
and link up the PottsvilIe move.

Also Peter PAU, OF the Shenan-
doah Unemployed Council, will
spend several weeks in PottsYille,
organizing the State Hunger
March and giving a-i to the Pot
tsville Unemployed Union. I'm

Pottsyiile Unemployed Union will
