BRIDE DEPLORES
MATES UNEMPLOYMENT
Nv Two Who Want a Chance.

By Two Who Want a Chance.
One week after we were married,
my husband lost his job. That was
a year ago. Since then he has had
only two weeks work. He took the
place of an elderly gentleman at
a company here in the city, who
was i'll. This man lives with his
daughter, who has a good job in
the statehouse and could very well
take care of him. He keeps his
job only because he is too proud
to acknowledge that his working
days are ver
My husband and 1 haven't even
had a start yet, and this mans
salary could give US the chance we
yearn for; a home and babies which
We are now deprived of. Why must
this condition exist and what can
be done about it?
We are both 20 and trying to
make our marriage a success, but
so far we have had nothing but
tough luck.

The unemployed members Of the
Photo Engravers Union do not agree
with Z. NJ. Baker as to the gen.
crosby of their brother members.
To labor is the divine right of
kings, a God-given right.
After four years Of unemploy-
ment, it has been definitely proved
that this is no major depression
but the breakdown Of a system,
worldwide. What then gives a
chosen few in an organization the
right to say: You may not work.
We will pay you $500 the first
year YOU are unemployed, $1,000 the
second year, $500 the third year, to
keep you from competing with US,
and make our jobs secure, after
that, you may sink Or swim"
Isn't it about time this organiza-
ton, numbering 100 members, saw
the injustice of such a plan and

THINKS SUBURBS
NEED SANITATION
By a Times Reader.

BY a Times Reader.
Much has been said and done with
regard to sanitation in slums, but
how about sanitation in suburbs?
Take for instance, septic tanks and
outside toilets.
What about sewerage on Sherman
drive, from bridge north to Prather's
lane? Kingan's packing house in
the west end is perfume compared
to that section on Sherman drive
(B~rightwood) especially when there
is a high wind.
Where is the power OF the board
Of health? Is somebody waiting for
the next election to make some new
promises? Or is there a group Of
neighoors who are too ignorant TO
protect their health?
This might be a chance for some
of our CWA officials to spend more
tax money.

There will be hundreds of chill

Woman Delegate Calls
for Action Against the
Austrian Hangmen

NEW YORK.-The reactionary role
OF the leaders of the Central Trades
and Labor Council Of Greater New
York In connection with today's
Austrian protest was revealed clearly
at the regular meeting of the Coun-
Gil held last night (Thursday) at
Beethoven Hall. Joseph Mulholland
vice-president of the organization
and chairman Of the meeting, had
the strike weapon in his hand but
failed to use it.
After listening to a speech by Mar
tin Plettl, exiled German trade union
leader, in which he told of the terror
visited upon the working class by
the fascists both in Germany and
Austria, the A. F. OF l.. leaders were
satisfied merely to adopt resolution
calling for boycott OF German
goods.
One lone delegate, a woman, took
the floor and called for action ir
support Of the heroic Austrian work
ing class. Mulholland sidetracked

the Communist Party.
Premier Dollfuss Of Austria could
have no better representative and
apologist speak for him at Madison
Square Garden today than Matthew
VOL.
1t is the dirtiest insult to the Aus
trian workers, lighting against their
own Matthew VOLS in the ranks OF
the Austrian Heimwehr, to have this
racketeer, scab, strikebreaker and
War-monger speak at a meeting call
ed to express working class interna-
tional solidarity with our Austrian
brothers.
Socialist workers! Expose this
agent of American fasism! Demand
that Matthew Vol, strikebreaker,
racketeer enemy of all revolution
airy struggles of the international
proIetariat, be refused the floor at
Madison Square Garden. He speaks
for the fascist murderers and is an
enemy Of the Austrian, German,
Russian and American workers.
Drive Matthew Vol out Of the
ranks Of Labor. He Is an agent Of the
scab trusts and the fascists.
