streets were full Of unemployed as
far as could see from the side door
Pullman, and the fellows who caught
the train in Billings said they could
not find work at any price that would
give them a living.
Little for Potato Pickery.
The next place war Fargo, N. D.
This city is in the fertile Red River
Valley, known for its good crops of
potatoes. But this year the potato
crop was very poor. Potato pickers
were plentiful. 1t was impossible to
give half of the people Jobs who were
there for jobs.
Staples, Mimi, was my next stop.
No work to be had there. Plenty of
people were on the relief list, and a
merchant told me that the city work
ers were not being paid their wages.

that the unemployment relief list had

Merger With Council

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Ten
ants and Unemployed League, So
cialist-controlled organization which
has repeatedly gone into United Front
struggle with the Unemployed Coun-
ellis of Washington, voted unanimously
to affiliate with the Councils.
The members ofthe Unemployed
League saw that only by united action
with the militant Unemployed coun-
ellis had they been able to force more
relief from the Washington relief adj
ministration.
The action of the socialist Halbert,
director of relief, removed from the
minds Of the unemployed workers in

have had about the S. P.

Work for Grub and

LOS ANGELES, Cal-At Haines
Canyon Camp No. 9, Federal Relief
Highway job administered by the
Los Angeles County Dept. Of Chari-
ties, workers are paid exactly moth
ing but bad grub and worse lodging
for six hours per day of hard labor.
The rations arriving on November
9Th were cut exactly in half. When
this happened, the cook quit. He
had been working only week, but
he declared that he would not serve
such bad food to men doing hard
labor.
After 90 days in this camp, with
all leaves and sicknesses deducted,
men receive rs cents per day. This
last concession was the result of a
small militant uprising some months
ago.

% Communists being arrested for the
demonstration against Fascism. Surely
the workers can learn a clear lesson
that the Socialist Party Is paving a
way for Fascism.

are growing very sensitive politically
The word Communist is a familiar
word everywhere. I am quite pleased
with what I found on this line OF

OIL SMOKE ana CIle Challenge
went the way of all professional
challenges. I heard Curley
state officially that he would have
nothing to do with anybody as raw
in his ignorance of the sport as
Gus. Even in fake bout you had
to put up show.
Now, Curley has a corner on the
beef market and Sonnenberg has
finally signed his union card. He
wrestled Jim Browning for the Cur
! ley tiara earlier in the week at the
Garden.
Sad, sad Gustave has not been
played around these parts recently
and it was necessary to build a
strong card around the bauble bout.
Sander Szabo was billed and one of
the Duseks and Stein and Don
George and Stranger Lewis. Some
of these never got around to per-
forming but that's in the tradi-
ton. Dean VS.. Savoldi was the eve

thing happened. The two walked
down the aisle together, but when
they got to the press row Dean

and the proceedings became scan

pressed frantically into his crotch
and declined all invitations to
clear out. 1t was a mastery ar

police tried to bulge the reculn-
bent colossus who howled and
writhed but refused TO disentangle
his forearIns from their indecorous
situation. The cops in the ring
blushed, the ringside was rnirth-
full and the galleries hooted In de-

This time the former apple Of
