ment closes in Washington, the
workers of New York will stage a
city-wide demonstration before the
City Hall at IL noon. Richard Sulli-
van, secretary of the Unemployed
Councils of Greater New York, in is
suing the call for the city-wide DEM
onstration, asked that all workers
come out on this day to force the La

Workers Relief Ordinance
With regard to La Guardia's refusal
TO advocate relief for the one and
quarter million unemployed Of
the city in the Board of Estimate
meetings, except the routine Janu-
ary relief appropriation, Sullivan
stated, LA Guardia's program must
be exposed by an immediate cam
paign for the passage of the Workers
Municipal Relief Ordinance which so
far La Guardia has refused to con-
slider. Every Unemployed Council,
block committee and C.W.A. job COM
mittee should publicize all eviction
cases, every case of discrimination,
layoffs on C.WA. work, etc. under
La Guardia's administration. ALI Of
these cases will be presented to La
Guardia on Feb. 5. We must force
La Guardia to take stand on the
Workers Relief Ordinance"
All organizations should formulate
their demands for presentation to La
Guardia, and begin a campaign of
collecting petitions demanding that
the aldermen endorse the Workers
Relief Ordinance, and that La Guar
dia, who has promised so much to the
unemployed of New York, should
himself introduce the ordinance. La
Guardia this week refused to see the
Unemployed Council delegation.
