Ask
Unity in Twin
Cities Strike
Urge United Program
In Strike of 5000
Relief Workers

NEW K.-The Executive
Board of the National Unemploy-
ment Councils, through 1. Amter,
secretary, in letter to the General
Drivers Local STA of Minneapolis,
appealed yesterday for unity in the
strike struggles of the unemployed
and relief workers.
I'm accordance with the program
and policy of the Unemployment
Councils everywhere" the letter
said, "our Councils in the Twin
Cities have been directed and en-
couraged to lend their every sup
port to your struggle"
Calling attention to the splitting
actions Of some of the leaders of
the Drivers Local in ejecting
members of the Unemployment
Councils and the United Relief
Workers Association from meetings
of the unemployed in the strike OF
relief workers in solidarity with
the truck drivers, the letter asked
that the workers strive for unity.
The letter urged the striking truck
drivers and all workers in Mime
apolis regardless of political differ
ence to unite in the fight against
hunger and terror.
Regardless of the action that
may be taken by those of your
leaders who are more concerned
with grinding their sectarian polit-
ical axe than they are with the
vital need for united action and
struggle the letter continued, "the
National Executive Board and our
affiliated organizations in your
vicinity will continue to lend their
every support to your militant fight
for the demands you have raised
in this strike"

Support of Conference
To Defend Foreign-Born
New York Emergency
Rally Is Called for
Next Monday
By ANDREW ovERGAARD

A new vicious attack has been
launched against the foreign-born
workers by the government and the
employers. New Red Raids" paral-
Icing the days Of the infamous
Palmer Of the Wilson government
are now being planned by the
Roosevelt government.
1t is of the greatest importance
for all our trade unions to protest
this vicious terror Immediately and
mobilize the American and foreign
born workers to unite all forces in
resisting these new attacks. The
vicious commander of the American
Legion in Brooklyn is advocating
that "all agitators be deported 10
Alaska"
Under the leadership Of Hugh S.
Johnson, Frances Perkins and all
the strike breaking agencies Of the
government, the most vicious chau-
whist poison is being spread
through the capitalist newspapers
in order to attempt TO divide the
working class and arouse fascist
violence against the best fighting
elements in the revolutionary
trade unions and in the trads
unions in general. These vicious
attacks are directed against tbs
working class in order to smash up
trade unions and other fighting orr
CARNATIONS resisting the strikes
breaking N. R. A. machinery.
In the general strikes in Califor-
MIA the most vicious deportation
terror has been let loose. Members

eral strike, are being singled out

tiOn against the foreign-born work.
ers has been called in Manhattan
Lyceum, Sc E. Fourth St., on Nom
day, July 30, at 8 pm, under the
auspices Of the Committee for Pro-
lection Of Foreign Born.
We urge all trade unions affii-
ated to the T. U. U. c., and all
locals Of the A. F. Of L., as wen
as independent unions, to appoint
delegates to participate in this inn
portant conference. This fight il
one which must particularly be par
ticipated in by the trade unions
as it is a direct attack against their
existence. Particularly is it neces-
sary to mobilize the American
workers to understand that it il
their duty to unite with the for4
eign-born workers and together de.

Send your delegates to the con-

Unemployed Council
Postpones the Tour
OF Herbert BENJAMIN

NEW YORK.-The National IN
employment Council has announced
that the tour which was to have
been made by Herbert Benjamin,
national organizer, has been post
poned.
The postponement has been made
necessary due to the fact that the
unemployed organizations on the
Pacific Coast have been unable to
carry through the necessary prepa-
rations because all forces have been
thrown into the great strike strug-
giles of the Pacific Coast workers.
AS soon as word is received from
the coast cities as to their plans, a
revised schedule for the tour will be
announced.

Bosses Spent $500, 900
For Police Protection

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 26.-
The ship operators and stevedore
companies of Los Angeles Harbor
spent a sum well in excess of
100000 for police protection dur
ing the first nine weeks of the
strike. This sum represents a
greater expenditure than the total
wages of all the longshoremen on
strike would have been had they
been working steadily. In addition,
there has been tremendous cost
in the hiring of strike-breakers
which possibly has amounted to
over SIS per head.
