the committee opened more places
today.
Crowds Wait in Line.
At most OF the 10 places crowds
had TO wait from 30 minutes to an
hour and a half for service. and even
then found the menu limited and the
food none too good. Dishwashing
facilities likewise were overtaxed, and
fastidious diners protested In vain
against greasy plates and sticky
glasses No one had any time to listen

Many persons who normally would
have scorned the practice carried
lunches. and even shared them with
less farsighted workers Department
stores. which decided to remain open
today and until further notice. rather
than throw all their salespeople out OF

store cafeteriaS. One store ran out OF
butter during lunch yesterday but
said it would have a good supply to-
day. Another said 1t mad plenty of
food in good variety to last until Fiji
day.
Crowd Candy Shops.
Those who neither carried lunches
nor had time to wait in the accredited
restaurants for service thronged food
shops. including the cookie and candy
counters in the dime and dollar stores,
for canned goods and sweets.

his favorlte eating place closed and

from malicious damage at all hazards,
said Acting Gov. Frank F.. Merriam
Of California.
Committee Weighs Problem.
A Citizens General Strategy Com
mittee of 500 persons. directed by
Mayor Angelo Rossi. was formed to
deal with emergencies in the strike
crisis
The committee was pledged to CO.
operate in bringing in food supplies
and assisting in their distribution in
cooperation with other bodies aiming
in that function.
The persons least affected by the
food situation were those who laid in
extensive supplies last week and who
had automobiles with enough gasoline
to take them into adjacent San Mateo
County. There they were able to buy
more gasoline for the return trip. and.
more important. fresh vegetables.
The food situation was helped late
yesterday, in one sense, by resumption
OF deliveries of ice to those without
electric refrigeration or ADEQUATE
coolers.
Continued operation of electric re-
lrlgeratorS was assured, no interrup-
tion of light, power or gas lines being
threatened Water and telephone
services likewise were normal. But
supplies Of fuel oil for apartment
house heating were running low.

BAY AREA REVIEWS
CAUSE OF STRIFE
Without Normal Conven-
fences Because of Union
Labor Action.
By the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO. July 1.-THE
San Francisco Bay metropolitan area
is without its normal conveniences to-
day because union labor is trying TO
force settlement OF the 10 weeks old
longShoremen and marine strikes, af-
fecting 279OO workers.
Pivotal issue in the stevedore con-
troversy is whether the International
Longshoremen's Association is to be
granted a closed shop. The I. L. A.
demands control of hiring halls, places
where longshoremen are employed and
assigned to work on the docks En-
ployers refused to relinquiSh control
of these halls, saying granting l. L. A.
control would be establishing a closed
shop and would result in exclusion of
members of company unions which
were organized Immediately after the
l921-1922 stevedore's strike failed.
Agreed to Arbitrate.
Employers recently agreed to arbi-
trate this question along with l. L. AS,
demands for a shorter week, a
pay increase from 85 cents TO 81 an
hour and improved working conditions.
Previously both sides had insisted the
question could not be arbitrated, as
control of hiring halls meant either
closed or open shop.
DOckWorkerS insist that steamship
companies agreed to arbitrate demands
Of marine unionS-involving all types
of steamship workers from captains to
engine wipers-before they submit the
hiring halls dispute to the President S
Arbitration Board.
Demands of all other marine unions
are essentially similar to the steve
dores' requests, but have never figured
prominently in discussions, because
ship owners have refused to submit
them to arbitration.
Now virtually all labor unions Of
San Francisco, Oakland and other
East Bay cities have walked out in
sympathy with the maritime unions
in an effort TO force speedy settle
ment.
Other Protests Added.
Two groups added other protests
The teamSters on both sides Of San
Francisco Bay protested the use of
non-union truck drivers to move goods
from docks, police use of firearms
which resulted in the death of two
union men and injury of "a others
last Thursday, and the calling out of
the National Guard.
The Market street railwaymen of
San Francisco submitted a list of
their own grievances, demanding
chiefly recognition of their union
and arbitration of hours, wages and
working conditions.

All-White jury
Convicts Negro
Despite Abb

CANTON, Ohio, Dec. 3-An all
white jury, from which Negroes were
carefully excluded, returned a YER
dict of guilty against Cecil White,
21-year-old unemployed Negro steel
worker, framed on charge of
"rape." White was Immediately SEN
fenced to an indefinite term in the
reformatory.
The lily-white jury ignored the
testimony of six witnesses of I'M
impeachable character that White
was miles away at the time from the
locality where the alleged attack on
Mrs. Anna Elavski took place on
June 81 last.
Under the questioning of Yetta
Land, International Labor Defense
attorney of Cleveland, it was estab-
lished that Mrs. Elavski had at first
denied that White was her attacker
when asked by police to identify
him. She had also told commit
tee from the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights, IT am not sure White
is the man, but the police say he
Is"
White was one Of many Negroes
''taken into custody" during a police
reign of terror and mass arrests of
Negroes shortly after the crime. He
was tortured in an attempt to make
him confess" One policeman even
went so far as to tell him, Cecil
you are going to be hanged tonight
unless you plead guilty"
The I. L. D. has filed motion
for new trial, charging bias and
prejudice based on the peculiar con-
duct of the case and the exclusion
of Negroes from the jury.

Chicago United Front Built around November 18th Demonstration
Of Unemployed Must Be Maintained and Broadened Through Action

ment of conditions of the unem-
ployed and employed workers, and
its aim is to destroy organized la
Dor, such a monstrous lie that no
worker who has the slightest I'M
Outstanding of the labor movement
can be misled. The members of
the A. F. of L. know that the Com
munists in the A. F. of L. are fight
ing precisely to make organized la
Dor a strong movement, a fighting,
militant movement, that they are
fighting for increase of wages, for
shortening working hours, for work
ers' democracy in the trade unions.
The unemployed know that the
Communists for years have been in
the very first ranks of the struggle
for relief for the unemployed, for the
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill, H. R. 1898, which
was originally drafted by the Com
munist Party.
The fact that the of1cialdom Of
the Chicago Federation of Labor,
while giving endorsement to the
march, at the same time opens a
barrage of attack on the Commu-
mist Party is a clear indication that
they are beginning to recognize in
the Communist Party a powerful
factor in the ranks of organized
labor, that the slogans of the Com
munist Party and especially its per-
sistent struggle for the united front,
received support.
In the words of Marx, when the
idea penetrates the masses it be-
comes a power" The idea Of the
united front is penetrating the
masses and it is becoming a grow
ing power!
The Chicago working class must
continue its united front struggles
The Chicago working class must win
decisive concessions from the CAPT
talist class, from the Roosevelt New
Deal administration. The Chicago
working class, on the basis of their
present experiences in the united
front is entering the election strug-
giles on the basis of the united
front. In every working class ward
there must be broad united front
conferences initiated by all working
class organizations in the given
ward for the purpose of nominating
working class candidate for alder
man and work toward his election.
The election of representative Of
the working class into the City
Council will give additional strength
and an additional weapon in the
hands of the working class in strug-
gle against capitalism and its pro-
gram of hunger, fascism and war.
Every member of the Party, every
Party organization, every organiza-
ton of the working class must do
everything in their power to main
tain, strengthen and broaden the
fighting united front of the Chi
cago working class

l6k Per Cent
Slash in Food
Orders Voted
Rents Will Not Be Paid,
Relief Administration
Has Announced

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 3.-The
Cleveland Unemployment Councils
have appealed to all unemployed
groups and all other working class
organizations to join in the mass
march on City Hall on Saturday,
Dec. az to demand the immediate
withdrawal Of the newly announced
161a per cent cut in relief.
The Cuyahoga County Relief Ad-
ministration announced the new
sweeping slash last week to take
effect in December-two weeks be-
fore Christmas. According to an
nouncements emanating from Off
ella sources, the relief board con-
sidered either of two plans-to slash
relief by 1872 per cent in food al
lowances or to effect 10 per cent
cut in food allowances and 20
per cent cut in clothing appropria-
tons. Official statements announced
the food cut.
In addition to the cut in food
checks, the relief board announced
that the November and December
commitments for rent payments
will not be met-leaving the way
open for wholesale eYictions.
In the face Of these retreneh-
ments in relief, applications for aid
are fast reaching unprecedented
figures. In the recent period, $500
families have applied for relief aid,
bringing the total number of fam
lilies on the December relief lists to
57,70o.
The mass march on Saturday,
Dec. %, will assemble at the Public
Square at pm, march through
the ciCy's streets and proceed to the
City Hall, where the workers de-
mand that the relief board and the
City Council meet in a special ses-
sion to act on the demands of the
unemployed.
On this coming Thursday, a dele
cation from the Unemployment
Councils will meet with the County
Commissioners in the offices Of the
Cuyahoga County Relief Admins
tration to place before them the
following demands:
/. Immediate withdrawal of the
relief cuts.
2. Extra winter relief-$40 cash
for each family; SIS for single per-
sons.
3. The use of the sinking fund
of 100000 for relief by the city
defaulting on all payments to the
bankers until such time as Congress
passes the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill.

Unfortunately, some of the lead
ers of some organizations which par
ticipated in the united front are
wavering on these questions, hesita-
ting, offering some very poor ex-
cuses why we should not continue
the united front. The united front
today becomes really a growing de-
mand among the masses and to
secure real united front, not only
for one action, but as fighting
organ of the masses, it is possible
when this united front will be
frightened in the neighborhoods, en-
bracing organizations and workers
from the shops. This is the task
which confronts even working class
organization, every worker who is
giving to the united front, not lip
service but real sincere desire to
establish fighting unity of the
working class on the basis and prin-
ciples of a class program.
Cites United Action
While registering the fact that in
the march of $4,000 Chicago work
ers on Nov. "a, in which side by side
banners of the A. r. of L. unions, of
the Communist Party, Socialist
Party, unions of the T.U.U.L., of
the American Consolidated Trades
Council, the Young Communist
League and Young Peoples Socialist
League, different fraternal, social
and cultural organizations were car
ried there was real determination in
the ranks of the marchers, frater-
nization between Negro and white,
we must say here that many of
those who were forced to endorse
the march did nothing to make it
success.
At the meeting of the Chicago
Federation of Labor on Sunday,
Nov. 10, to which a large delegation
from the United Front Conference
appeared, demanding endorsement
of the march on Nov "a and its de-
mands, and which demands on the
part of the delegation were sup
ported by a large number of local
unions of the AT. of L. and large
section of the delegates to the Chi
cago Federation of Labor. 1t is on
the basis of this that the Chicago
Federation of Labor adopted a reso-
luton which reads in part:
Whereas: This cut will lower
the standard of living of those
subsisting on relief below even the
low standard that they previously
had, and
Whereas: The Relief Commits
sion has issued another order to
the effect that those living on re-
lief if offered a job, the payment
for which equals the relief budget,
must take that job or be denied
relief, and
Whereas: Vigorous and en-
phatic protests are the only means
left to the workers to defeat and

the Communist Party, the Work
ers Committees on Unemployment
(Socialist), the Unemployment
Councils (Communist), the Jew
ish A. F. of l.. unions, and the
Federation of Social Service EN-
ployes. The central committee
is the Committee for United Ac-
ton on Nov. "a. Churches, in
Guiding the Pilgrim Baptist
Church, have also endorsed"
Federation Attacks C. P.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
endorsing the march at the same
time opened the most vicious at
tack against the Communist Party,
which is a part and parcel Of the
united front. In the resolution en-
dorsing the march, the Chicago
Federation of Labor declares:
Whereas, we are fully aware
of the difficulty in keeping such
protest demonstration in the
hands of the men and women
who would honestly strive to &C
complish the object and purpose
of the demonstration but self
seeking individuals, Communists
and other irresponsible and free
lance groups will undertake to
exploit such a demonstration for
their own ends, regardless of the
wrongs and injustices done to
those on the relief rolls, which
the demonstration would serve to
correct"
And John Fitzpatrick, president
of the Chicago Federation of Labor,
in speaking about the resolution re-
ferring indirectly to the participa-
ton in this demonstration by the
Communist Party, declares:
1--WE heard of the participation
of many individuals and groups,
and there is some conflict as to
just what rights these groups have
on the premises"
Once more the attempt is made
to eliminate Communists from the
United Front. But the Communists
are part and parcel Of the working
class, they ere part as the members
of the A. F. of L., of the Unem-
ployment Councils, Of the Chicago
Workers Committee on Unemploy-
ment, they are in the shops, and
in the mass organizations of the
working class, and that their rights
cannot be questioned is indicated
by the fact that at the united front
conference the greatest ovation was
received precisely by the representa-
tives of the Communist Party be-
cause the workers feel that the
Communist Party is the Party of
their own class.
The slanderous attack of Oscar
F. Nelson, vice-president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, in the
chamber Of the City Council against
the Communist Party, charging that
1t is not interested in the improve
