500 DENOUNCE
FRAME UP JUDGE
Another Demonstra-
ton for SchoutenToday

NEW YORK. - Tammany's police
came to the defense of Tammany
Judge Collins when 500 workers at
tempted to protest in front of the
latter's home against the conviction
Of GroYert Schouten, unemployed
marine worker. The police patrol
led the streets for blocks around,
against groups of workers coming to
the demonstration last night at 35th
st. and Bird Ave.
For an hour the workers resisted
the police and finally gathered at
33rd st. and End Ave, where a meet
ing was held denouncing the police
and calling on the workers to come
to General Sessions Court Part 9 at
Franklin and Center Streets, $50 a.
m. today where Schouten will be SEN
fenced by Judge Collins
The street on which the Judge lives
was guarded at both ends by police
while the hall of lis home was black
with plainclothesmen. Radio cars
cruised the streets for blocks around.
Police drove one group of workers
down End Ave. from 35th to s0th
Street.
When two workers entered the
East Side Unemployed Council at SIG
Second Ave. two cops followed them
in, but decided to leave when they
found four other workers there.
Frame Up
The demonstration came as a re-
suit of the raw frame up of Schouten
and along with it the attempt to
smash the militancy of the seamen
and the Marine Workers Industrial
Union. Today at General Sessions
Court the workers will continue the
demonstration for the unconditional
release of Covert Schouten.

baby of Frank Fiametti by having
the baby's body snatched away by

time for the funeral.
This was the second Fiametti child
to .tarve to death because of the re-
fusal of the Home Relief Buro to
provide necessary food. Workers in
the neighborhood would have been

Ave, Brooklyn. He pushed aside the
protesting parents. He started to the
graveyard with the body.
Never mind! I'm running this
show from now on" he told the par
ents, who followed him. The body
on the night before had been moved
by the authorities from 21st and
Bath AYES, where the funeral would
have been held. The landlady during
the night had then disconnected the
Fiametti doorbell and locked the
front door, after police had forcibly
picked out a group of protesting
workers.
After the forced burial, the Fam
ETH parents refused to give in to the
Home Relief Buro by signing a state
ment promising no further associa-
ton with the Unemployed Council.
Instead, Mrs. Fiametti demanded
more relief. 1t was granted.
A mass meeting is being planned
for Monday night to protest the
snatching of the baby's body.

NEW YORK.-More than 500 com
muters are on strike against riding
the Erie Railroad between points on
northern New Jersey and Manhattan.
They have not ridden the line since
Jan. l, when the Erie increased COM
muters rates by is per cent.
Most of them are using buses and
ferries. Their committee has appeal
ed against the higher rates to the
Federal Interstate Commerce Com
mission, although many of the
strikers point out that this will do
no good. Only by their present strike
and further mass action, will they
be able to force down the rates, they
say.

Carpenters Continue
Strike at Greenbaum

NEW YORK.-The workers OF
Greenbaums shop have been on
strike under the leadership of the In
dependent Carpenters Union for
week. The militant action of the
workers compelled the boss the first
few days to look for a settlement.
Several negotiation meetings between
the strike committee, representatives
of the union and the boss were held,
and each time the boss had to con-
cede more and more to the demands
of the workers.
Finally, seeing that the unity of
the workers and the strength of the
union cannot be broken, he agreed
to all the demands to to sign a con-
tract, but only for month! The
workers rejected this and decided to
strike until a complete victory is
achieved.

A COMMUNIST MAYORS PROGRAM
AND A CAPITALIST MAYORS PLAN:
ONE FOR WORKERS, ONE FOR BOSS
O'Brien Promises He
Will Cut Wages, Fire
and Sell Bonds

NEW YORK.-John P. OBrien was
inaugurated mayor New York Tues
day in the city hall, in the presence
not of workers, but of the Tammany
leaders and big business men. Prom
inent on the stage was James A. Far
ley, Roosevelt's campaign manager
and chairman of the state boxing
commission, capitalisns million dol
lar commercialized sport. With him
were Al Smith of the Empire State
Building and ex-governor, Curry, the
big Tammany boss, and the district
leaders of Tammany Hall: McCooey
of Brooklyn; Theofel of Queens;
Flynn of the Bronx; and Rendt of
Staten Island.
Mayor Walker, who quit under fire
for graft, cabled his congratulations.
O'Brien spoke, casually remarking
that relief must go on, but saying
nothing about how, nor about the
slash already in relief. He promised
more firing and wage cutting of city
employees, in no uncertain terms, say
ing;
The financial crisis that con-
fronts the city is most serious, and
drastic cut in the cost Of govern
ment must be accomplished. Thru
salary reductions a considerable
saving win be effected, but we must
go much further and secure great
er economies. Every unnecessary
position must be eliminated"
Thus he places his stamp of APP
proval and pledges to continue such
things as the recent ten to 80 per
cent wage cut on the I. r. T., ordered
by Tammany courts to pay interest
to the bankers; the six to 80 per cent
wage cut on all city employees includ-
ing teachers, which Police Commits
sioner Mulrooney declared yesterday
would be retroactive, and the gen.
eral cutting down of relief.
He justified by this statement the
wholesale discharge of foreign born
workers in the city hospitals.
The city workers wage cuts were
ordered by the bankers who openly,
through the press, dictated to the
SNNgC ACS4oAdOdIC bllC bGIillS Oh LIE INV
they wanted giving power to cut wages
to Tammany.
Gifts to Bankers
O'Brien in his speech threw an
other little gift to the bankers by
declaring for more city bonds.
He hit the city workers again by
stating that as fast as possible those
his bureau heads decile are mot able
to perform their duties" would be
retired"
He proposed to lease Tread pre-
Sent) at an unnamed price, the city's
Bronx Terminal Market and Staten
Island Piers to private capitalists.
He said not one word about the de-
positors cheated out of their savings
In the q. S. Bank failure, in which
Tammany was largely implicated.

Member Asks Entrance
To IOOF Home; Told
Some Must Dies First

NEW YORK.-Ike Lyman, a mem
Der of the Needle Trades Unem-
ployed Council, a furrier, has been
a member for many years of the
Independent Order of Oddfellows.
This 'fraternal order" claims to pro-
vide out of the dues paid by its mem
bers, relief and benefits, during their
time of difficulty, Lyman applied to
Star Lodge PIG, I.O.OF, at ISL
Drainard St., Portland, for admis-
sion to the home provided by the
lodge.
He got letter signed by the Sec
rotary of the lodge saying:
There is not enough room at the
home to admit all that are passed on
(waiting to get i'm. They are crowd
ed there to the very limit now, and
it may take some time until enough
leave or die to get room"
The worker thinks he does better
to join the unemployed council and
fight for relief and insurance than
wait until some of his lodge BROTH
ers die off.

Who Belong to Council

ployed.
Some of the cases described here
give an idea of the conditions I'M
der which the unemployed workers
and their families live.
Here is a family of an Italian
worker. The father of the family
crazed from starvation, was taken
two years ago to Kings County Hos
pital. A boy, % years old, lies sick
in bed. A girl, 10, tainted from
hunger while the Unemployed Coun-
Gil representative visited the house,
at East 18th st. The mother Dor
rowed some coffee from the neigh
bors, and with this she revived her
daughter.
Beds were covered with dirty rags.
The walls and the ceiling were black
from dirt and SCOT. The rent was
three months overdue.
The mother went to the Home
Relief Buro for relief. She was COM
PEELED to stand in line for hours. She
tainted and had to be taken out
of the line, but this did not move
the officials of the Relief Buro to
inquire into her case
Upon the advice of worker, the
woman applied to the East Harlem
Unemployed Council. A spokesman
of the Council took the mother to
the Home Relief Buro in order to
register her without being compelled
to wait hours in line, since the Coun-
Gil has won the right of getting i'm
mediate attention to the cases it
brings before the Relief Buro.
Then followed the registrations.
The official of the Relief Buro at the
desk fired question after question at
the starved worker trying to con-
fuse her. Hundreds of workers are
thus barred from relief on petty
technicalities. Only the persistence
of the representative Of the United
Council prevented it this time.
Another case: A Porto Riean
worker, Mary P. The husband works
as dish washer two days a week
getting 81. The mother came to the
Unemployed Council with child in
her arms. Another child is erpected
soon. The family had dispossess
notice, rent unpaid four months.
Case Was CLOSED"
At the Relief Buro the assistant
stated she was sorry" the case was
closed because the father is working.
The father is not earning enough
to provide food for the family, the
rent is not paid for four months.
the family is about to be evicted and
you closed the case"-loudly protest.
ed the U. G. representative.
All the workers in the room listen
ed with great attention and SYM
pathy. The assistant superintendent,
in order to avoid explanation before
the workers, took the representative
of the Unemployed Council into
private Office were behind closed
doors and in the presence of the
police the following conversation took
place:
Superintendent: "Who wants you
here, you rotten red?"
Rept. of q. c.: ST represent
starving worker"
S.: Shut upl Nobody is starving"
Rep: You want me to shut up just
because so many are STRIVING"
By shouting insults the Superin-
tendent tried to provoke the repre-
sentative of the U. c., but did not
succeed.
AS result of the fight put up
by the U. G. representative, the Re-
lief Buro paid the rent of the family.

Nygard Starts Drivet
to Save Lives of
Crosby Jobless
CROSBY, Mimi, Jan. 8.

CROSBY, Mimi, Jan. 3. -
From 500 to 600 workers at
tended the Victory Celebration
held here in honor of the cleo
tion of the first Communist
Mayor in this country, Emil
Nygard. Comrade Nygard in
his speech revealed the meth
eds by which the bank Of
f1cials were trying to manipulate for
their own benefit the city funds and
the workers savings.
Bank Robs Toilers.
Nearly $4,000 of city funds were
tied up in the defunct First National
Bank when it closed its doors The
bank officials tricked the workers
into signing papers by which SIS per
cent Of all savings were wiped off
the books, and the other IS per cent
to be repaid in five years. The work
ers of Crosby were furious at this
robbery, and this was one of the
outstanding issues in the municipal
elections, which aroused mass indig-
nation. During the campaign the
Communist Party proposed the or
ganization Of a committee repre-
senting the small depoSitors, to fight
for 100 per cent repayment of their
savings.
Scheme to Kill Relief.
After Nygard's election, It was dis
covered that the bonds supposed to
guarantee the city funds in the bank
were worthless, although the law re-
duires that the bank guarantees city
deposits with bonds worth twice as
much as the deposits. At a confer
ence between banking officials and
the new city council, Comrsde Ny
gard demanded that upon the re-
opening of the bank the bankers
furnish the necessary bond or the
city funds would be withdrawn, in
order to make sure that the city
should have funds for unemployment
relief, and not have it tied up in the
bank.
For Moratorium on City Debts.
When Nygard assumes office, he
will fight to carry out his campaign
pledge, to declare a moratorium on
the debts owed by the city to the
bankers for interest on bonds, and
to demand state aid for the relief
of the unemployed miners in Cros-
by. Already the local bourgeoisie
have started their sabotaging activ-
tiles. The Crosby Emergency Relief
Association, recognized by the gov
eminent as a semi official agency,
has declared itself dissolved, and all
applicants for relief are referred to
the city council. The Red Cross,
which has flour and cloth for dis
tribution, are also passing the buck
to the city administration, hoping
that with the city relief funds tied
I'D in the bank, that by such actions
they could discredit Comrade Ny
card on the relief question.
