Cleveland JobIess Attacked


CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 81
Police brutally attacked $500 work.
ers demonstrating before the City
Council here Monday night. The
workers, under the leadership of the
Unemployment Councils and the
Small Home Owners Federation,
demanded $40 winter relief for
each family and SIS for each
single person, enactment of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill and an end to discrimination.
The attack was planned in adj
vance by Mayor Davis, who, &C
cording to the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, said: ION previous occa-
sions when I was Mayor we set
tied once for all who is boss of
this town." referring to the 1919
May First massacre.
Police rode through the crowd
Monday, clubbing men, women and
children alike. Mrs. Szabo, the
mother of four children, was club
bed and her ankle broken; Maude
White, stopping to pick up a
fallen comrade, was beaten; Dan
Little, seaman, had his hand
broken; a 70-year old worker was
knocked unconscious.
Retreating before the savage at
tack, the workers regained posses
sion of the City Hall steps, and
held them until the end of the
meeting.
A committee presented demands
to the Councilmen, and Trung the
promise that the Negro Bill of
Rights would be acted upon at the
Nov. 10 meeting. The demonstra-
tors endorsed the Communist can
didates.
Today Mayor Davis issued a
statement that In the future at

attacked anti-fascist demonstration and all job
less meetings in danger of attack similar to the
March events.
With the approach of winter new terrorism is
rising all over the country.
This terrorism rises side by side with the grow
ing unemployment which rises remorselessly as the
crisis of capitalism punges the country into deeper
crisis. There 100000 absolutely penness men,
women and already living on the wretched crumbs
of Roosevelt ''relief" million workers have lost
their jobs in the last few months. Winter will
drive thousands more into the streets.
How does the Roosevelt government, how do
the Governors and Congressman OF the Wall Street
parties, the Democratic and Republican parties,
propose to meet the needs of these starving mil
lions?
What will be their bloody answer after cleo
lions, if this is their before the elec-
tions?

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 31.-Police

and delegates, and succeeded in
turning back a delegation from Au-
rora, A number of the unemployed
delegates were picked up on the
street and held in jail. c. Yenks,
chairman Of the committee which
presented demands to Gov. Horner,
was thus arrested.
While the congress was in ses-
sion, about $50 fully armed state,
county and city police and deputy
sheriffs were thrown around the
hall, and virtually placed the en-
tire aSsemblage under arrest. The
police attempted to stop the dem
onstration from the congress hall to
the Capitol to present demands,
and continually attempted to in
timidate the delegates. Police Chief
Nuess, together with detachment
of detectives, entered the hall de-
handing that the meeting adjourn
before 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The mobilization of police fully
Substantiated the statement pub
lished in the Saturday edition of
the Daily Worker that the police
intended to stop the congress
through terror after a secret meet
ing at the Governors Office.
Release Forced
A delegation which was elected to
go to the Governor was met by
large force of police at the Capitol
building, but succeeded in inter
viewing the Governors secretary
and secured the promise that the
Governor would meet with a dele
cation when he returned to the
city.
The convention, after hearing the
reports of the delegation to the
Governor, sent an additional dele
cation to the City Council, which
met in special session. The delega-
ton presented the demands of the
congress that they will not adjourn
and the delegates will not return
unless those arrested were imme-
diately and Internationally re-
leased. These demands were
granted and all the arrested dele
gates returned to the convention
hall.
The delegates heard reports of
Karl Lockner, State Chairman, and
Herbert Benjamin, National Or
ganizer of the Unemployment
Councils This was followed by
very extensive reports by the dele
gates recording struggles, and a
unanimous demand for unifcation
in support of the Workers Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance Bill.
The convention unanimously
adopted manifesto for united &C
ton and united demonstrations on
Nov. "a. and the National Congress
for Unemployment Insurance to be
held in Washington on Nov. 5, 6
and z. The convention adopted the
following resolutions: against the
Illinois criminal syndicalism law,
for the freedom Of the ScottSboro
boys, Tom Mooney, the Hillsboro
prisoners, David Poindexter and his
four workers in Chicago, and
demanding the release of Ernst
Thaelmann, leader Of the Commu-
mist Party of Germany.
The convention elecJed a State
Committee Of the Unemployment
Councils Of Thirty mine, among
them leading militant members of
Illinois Workers Alliance, women's,
youth, Negro, trade union and un-
employed groups. As the convention
ended, the delegates marched out
OF the hall, defying the police
forces.

AS the mounting wave of protests
swept the country, George Clark,
district officer of the State Tempo
rary Emergency Relief Administra-
ton, yesterday said that he had
been ordered by FER.A. officials in
Washington to provide food and
shelter for the marchers who are
now in Albany. He also said that
he had been asked to report to
Washington on the attack on the
bridge. Representatives of tn e
marchers yesterday prepared to
place demands for food and lodging
with the relief administration while
in Albany as they went forward with
preparations to hold their conven-
ton.
Governor Lehman, visited yester-
day at his home in New York City
by delegation from the United
Action Conference, attempted to
wash his hands of all responsibility
as kilograms, first sent to the Ex-
ecutive Mansion in Albany, had
been relayed to him at his home
by his secretary.
Il want the delegates to under
stand,' he said, that neither the
national guard nor the state militia
were modified. 1t is purely a local
matter" When questioned by James
Gaynor, chairman of the United
Action Conference, he refused to
answer to the. workers demands
that he order the immediate release
of the prisoners, instruct the police
in the capitol area to not modest
the marcheEs, provide food and
lodging for the marchers, and pro-
coed to Albany at once to receive
the workers committee with their
relief demands.
Although police disclaimed re-
sponsibility for the attack Tuesday
night, eye-witnesses stated chat
many of the police had been drunk
when they attacked and turned the
two marches, one from New York
City and the other from the Buffalo
area, into a bloody shambles.
ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 81 Gov
ernor Lehman and city and police
officials here resorted to slanderous
charges against the Hunger March
erS in order to whitewash the police
for the brutal attacks upon two con-
tingents which entered Albany
yesterday.
Police Commissioner William v.
Cooke, who was present at the Dunn
Bridge attack, said that he was "en-
tirely satisfied with the conduct of
the police.
THE police will stop the dumping
of riff raft and the scum of other
cities into Albany" Cooke said. The
town is closed to that element. The
police have instructions to track
down those who escaped through the
barriers and run them out of the
city. Half of them are not citizens
and most of them can't even speak
English"
Backing up the savage attack,
Acting Mayor Herzog declared that
I'VE have repeatedly declared that
we do not want them here"

passed unanimously.
Attacks Communists
Anthony Ammirato, head of the
Paterson dye local, while speaking
at Tuesdays strike meeting, in at
lacking the Communists and mill
liant workers., said:
There are certain elements among
you in the picket line and in your
ranks who are spreading rurnors
that we are betraying the strike
and not working in your interests"
Referring to his having slapped Sol
Walters, member of the Young
Communist League, last Saturday
while he was distributing a Com
munist Party statement to the strik-
ers, he said Eyes, I slapped that
fellow in the face because he be-
longs to those elements, and I am
proud of it, and urge all workers
to DO the same. Use your fists;
rip EN- up; throw them in the river"
After the meeting, Ammirato see
ing Jane Williams selling Daily
Workers to the strikers, walked
over and said:
IT don't like this paper and don't
want it around here"
"Why?" asked the girl.
Because don't like it. It's
Communist paper. My men don't
like it."
But your men do like it, and
hundreds Of them do read it. They
know it is the only paper giving
one hundred per cent support to
the strike"
well, I don't like it," was all that
Ammirato could add, while hundreds
of workers stood around.
500 Buy "Daily"
About five hundred workers
bought Daily Workers at this meet
ing.

The Paterson Section of the
Communist Party, answering AM
I1lIdIO y dGGdCh, QGCldISQ.
Striking dye workers, Fellow
Workers, Don't let Ammirato split
your splendid solidarity by his use
of the red scare. While telling us
to be friendly to the police, who
beat and arrest you, he urges that
you employ gangster tactics against
those who are the most devoted
and militant in your ranks. He
says he is proud of having slapped
member of the Young Commu--
mist League. The crime of this
young worker was to distribute a
statement in which the Commu-
mist Party pledges solidarity in
your fights; tells you to keep up
mass picketings; rank and file con-
troll; not to permit secret negotia-
tons; not to permit a settlement
until you vote for it. Nothing is,
said OF a betrayal by your local
officials; but you were all warned
of German and his policy. Ammi-
ratio evidently does not like such
advice. He would split the ranks
of the strikers against those who
are the most militant and active
in your ranks. Don't permit this.
Your enemies are the bosses and
those in the government who thew
use to break your strike. We
should unite our ranks, regardless
OF political opinion, for a solid
front against the bosses. The Com
munists have no interest separate
and apart of all the strikers and
all its members are the most ac-
tive for a victory in your battle"
Correction
In yesterdays Daily Worker 1t
was incorrectly stated that the
workers were offered SAC for 40
hours. The workers we're offered
SAC for So hours. This was typo

Denver Strike Leaders Jailed

Denver Otrtke LeauerS Jalled
DENVER, Colo, Oct. 31.-The en-
tire police force here was modified
today, leaders Of the rapidly spread
ing F. E. R. A. strike were jailed,
and drive of police terror was be-
gun on the Communist Party and
all other militant workers organ
izationS, as striking relief workers
gathered their forces to again
throw a mass picket line around
the projects in the teeth of police
| ban.
Yesterday, Henry Brown, relief
striker, was shot in the left hip,
several others wounded and scores
of workers hurt when the police at
tackled picket line thrown around
the Platte River project after a
motorcade of strikers had toured
the jobs, pulling out all on strike.
The strike was started in Engle-
wood, some miles distant in adjoin-
ing Arapahoe County after work
relief was slashed 81 per cent.
Rapidly spreading, Relief Director
Shaver was forced to close all
projects in the county and place
the strikers on direct relief, one of
their demands.
AS the strike took hold a unity
ing committee was set up composed
of Carpenters Union 1888, Hodcar-
riers' Local 720, Communist Party,
Colorado and Denver Unemployed
Unity Committee, Unemployment
Councils, Relief Workers Protective
Union; American Workers Union,
International Labor Defense and
h Workers x-Servicemen's
League. The workers elected
mass strike committee to direct all
activities.
Demands set forth by the strik-
erS called for restoration of the re-
lief cuts and a thirty-hour week at
union wages and conditions; no
evictions, shutting off of water,
light or gas; no discrimination
against Negro, Spanish or foreign
born; right to organize and elect
grievance committees on all prof.
ects; passage of the Workers I'm
employment Insurance Bill; and
special session of the State Legis-
lature for the enactment of Winter
relief and unemployment insurance
as set forth in the Workers Bill.
The demands and the organizations
backing them are set forth in the
Oct. 20 final extra edition of the
Denver Post.
While press wires and news serv-
ices stated yesterday that the po-
lice fired upon the workers when
radicals threw tools into the
Platte River" the Denver Post
states that hundreds downed their
tools and some of the workers threw
their tools into the Platte River de-
spite exhortations by the strike
leaders.
Police fired directly into the as
sembled workers. AS the workers
gathered into their motorcade to
proceed back to the city, they were
pursued by the police. The strikers
increased to more than thousand,
and a mass meeting of several
thousand was held at Civic Center.
Police again attacked, beating
scores.
