Chicago Set
For Mid est
Metal Pariey
Indiana and Illinois Steel
Centers Make Good
Response to Call

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 2-Final ar
rangements are being made for the
Midwestern conference of steel and
metal workers, which takes place on
Dec. 9 here. An affair to greet the
delegates will be held on Dec. 8 at
8 pm. at the Workers Lyceum, 2753
Hirsch Blvd. The conference has
been called by the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union.
Chicago proper made the final
mobilization for the Midwest Con-
ference at the shop delegates meet
ing on Nov Is. Most of the locals
have already elected delegates. Calls
have been sent out to the Mechan-
les Educational Society, Local %,
the Independent Die Caster League
of America, Inc, and others.
From out Of town, Terre Haute,
Indiana, Peoria, Illinois, have al
ready replied that delegates are
elected.
Brother Schmies reports that the
Cleveland District has been mobil-
lied and delegates elected. How
ever, there is no response, as yet
from the tri-cities of Rockford
Davenport and Moline, nor has
Minneapolis, Milwaukee, st. Louis
and Detroit districts answered the
call.
There is high enthusiasm for the
conference among the members in
Chicago. Workers of five different
shops, where they have no local, as
yet, have undertaken to establish
one by the time of the conference.

cent-from IS to So per cent-by
sending in $3.50.
Seattle has thus jumped far
ahead of California and 5 per cent
ahead of Milwaukee, with both of
whom it is in Socialist competition.
Must Fill Quotas
Among the small districts the
percentage of the highest standing
one, North Carolina, is proof of the
determined steps that these mi i
take to fill their quotas before the
drive ends. North Carolina has only
so per cent. West Virginia has SIS
per cent of its quota, but the next
on the list, North Dakota, has not
even reached the halfway mark.
These districts certainly can do
better-and so can Houston, South
Dakota and Kentucky, who sent
nothing last week. The first two
have reached only 9 per cent of
their quotas while all Kentucky has
raised So.
These districts must work to the
utmost to go over the top in the
next two weeks.

workers and for the repeal of the
Illinois Criminal Syndicalist law

Jurksnin, is an organizer of the
Young Peoples Socialist League. The
I. L. D. appeal lists five proposals:
l. The aiding financially, and the
most determined backing Of the de-
Tense.
2. The sending of protests to the
authorities, Governor Horner, and
States Attorney Hall, for the repeal
of the Illinois Criminal Syndicalist
Law and the freedom of the Hills

T. A joint delegation to present
to the legislature a bill for the re-
peal of the 1919 Revolution
Statute, which is the Illinois Grim

S. The institution Of a petition

State of Illinois.
The I. L. D. also appealed to all
workers and their organizations to

an attempt to smash the struggle
for relief, they were hurriedly in
dicted on IS charges, including con-
spiracy to advocate overthrow of the
government, conspiracy to organ
ize the Communist Party" and at

lice refused to issue permits. The
defendants include IL miners, three
of whom are members Of the City
Council of the village of Taylor
Springs, Montgomery County, and
Jan Wittenber, Chicago artist, and
John Adams.

veloped by the capitalists to help
carry out the starvation policy
against the workers. Fascist growth
arises in Birmingham out of the
following:
/. Fear of the militant mood of
the masses and the growing unity
of white and Negro workers es-
pecially since the coal and ore
mining strikes.
2. Fear of the growth of
trade union spirit among the I'M
organized workers and above all
fear of the prestige of the G. P.
which is spreading daily.
3. The use of the treachery of
LeiboWitz and the Negro takers
to try to electrocute the Scots
boro boys and to use the Scots
boro developments as the pivot of
attack against Southern workers.
4. The Roosevelt administration
is using the Southern section of
the Democratic Party particularly
Birmingham (the home of j. P.
Morgans Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company as the testing
ground for the New Deal develop
ments in fascist methods and
technique.
5. The support given this drive
by the A. F. of L. bureaucracy and
the S. P. leaders in Birmingham.
The development of fascism is
seen in the declaration of Tom
Knight, that Communism should
be stamped out by armed force if
necessary" 1t is seen in the ord
nance passed at the initiative of
Commissioner Downs that a long
sentence or the convict gang awaits
anyone VINO shall print or know
ingly circulate any book, paper
advocating the doctrine that organ
lied government shall be over
thrown by force, violence or any
unlawful means, or shall have in
possession more than one copy of
such book, etc. :"
Fascist growth is seen in the &C

K.K.K.'s broke into the home of a
militant Negro in Birmingham,
stripped his two grown daughters
to the waist and dashed them. At the
same time the head of the White
Legion, Tom Gulledge, who admits
he was strikebreaker in the Gas

mine strikes, works hand in hand
with the police attempting to break
up workers meanings.
The Provocative Role of the Labor

the many recent police actions
against the rights of the workers.

For Relief Rights Of Negroes
The mass demonstration at the
county relief office Monday morn
ing will demand immediate punish
ment of the police responsible for
the brutal attack, freedom for
Samuel Heaterly, and immediate
relief aid for the families of the
two victims, as well as compensation
to the family for the death of Will
liam Heaterly. In addition, the
Councils demand an end to the
doubled dealing relief standards for
white and Negro unemployed, an
end to all discrimination, cash pay
ment of rents by the welfare de-
partment, and a city ordinance
against evictions.
United front proposals around
these demands, and for a united
struggle against evictions and ter
ror, and for the full and equal re-
lief rights of the Negro people, have
been sent to the Socialist Party, the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of the Colored People,
Negro churches, the American Civil
Liberties Union, and to all trade
unions. These groups have also been
urged to arrange immediate protest
actions and to support the demon
stration Monday.
AS a further step toward unity in
the immediate demands of the en-
ployed and unemployed, the Unem-
ployment Councils have appealed
to all these groups to support the
National Congress for Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance, which
will convene in Washington on Jan.
for three-day session.

Today Will Protest Eviction Staying
Housewives in
Chicago Reject
F.E.R.A. Meats
Fresh Food Demanded
on News of Tainted
Canned Beef

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. DIR. Her
man Bundeson, health commission
er, last week refused to take imme-
date action on the demand of a
committee of housewives that he
Immediately condemn drought cat
tie relief meat as has already been
done in Toledo. He offered instead
to analyze any cans which were
brought to his Office, and issue re-
ports later.
The committee of nine house
wives, whose families have been
made i'll by this canned F.ER.A.
meat, had called with cans of the
meat and a news item from the
Herald Examiner, which told of the
condemnation of the meat in To-
ledo.
After the committee left the
health commissioners office, they
learned that the meat in Toledo
had been canned by a Chicago
packer. Bundeson's refusal to take
immediate action, the Unemploy-
ment Councils pointed out, is sim
liar to his recent stand on keeping
from the public the facts about a
recent epidemic of, amoebic dysen-
terry because such knowledge would
have threatened the financial sue
cess of the Worlds Fair, to which
the epidemic was traced.
The Unemployment Councils have
called upon all housewives to refuse
the canned F.E.R.A. meat, and to
demand meat orders for fresh meat
.purchaseable at any meat store and
paid by the relief commission at
full cash rates. The councils are
organizing to bring thousands OF
cans Of this meat to Bundeson'S
Office and to Mayor Kelly, and de-
mand immediate action by the city.

Jim-Crow Relief Rule
Set Up in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. q
The Los Angeles County Relief Ad-
ministration is Jim-Crow outfit
in the administration of relief and
in the giving of aid to the desti-
tute. An order was signed last week
forbidding Negro social workers
from visiting any but Negro appli-
cantS for aid. White social workers,
however, may still visit Negro appli-
cants.
High administrative officials in
the relief organization here as well
as elsewhere are all whites, and Ne
groes, regardless of how skilled and
competent they may be, cannot rise
higher than the job of case super
visors at the very most.
