Communist L lex e t

HURLEY, Wis, Oct. 30.-For the
first time Iron County has Commu-
mist candidates on the ballot. The
Communist Party has come out
with program of struggle to meet
the pressing needs of the workers
and farmers.
The situation that confronts the
working population is very serious.
The mines are at standstill. The
relief system is so inadequate that
the county nurse reports large num-
bers of undernourished children
who are suffering from lack of food
and clothing.
The Communist Party has the
only program that meets the i'm
mediate needs of food, clothing and
relief. And on this program it is
rallying the workers and farmers to
fight for better conditions.

.JObless Fight
Discrimination
Negro Unemployed Get
Sub-StarvatiOn
Relief

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. o.
Starvation relief, evictions and
blatant discrimination of the Negro
unemployed are being fought by the
Unemployment Councils here.
While relief to all unemployed is
below subsistence levels, the Negro
workers are handed the lowest pos
sible relief if it is at all granted.
Despite official denial reports re-
ceived by the Unemployment Coun-
ellis, 9l9 Locust ST., amply bear this
out.
One Negro worker, jobless for
years, was notified by the relief
department that he had been as
signed job on the projects. After
one weeks work he was paid nine
dollars. For his family Of four, the
relief figured out budget as fol-
lows: $500 for food, S1.50 for milk,
s120 for fuel. gas and light, forty
five cents carfare to and from work
"a total of $685.,
Allowing him to earn SO a week.
the relief heads told him to save
the extra sixty-five cents for rent,
clothing, medical aid, and other
needs. The family is living rent
free in condemned house, all four
sleping in one room.
Fifteen Negro workers, members
of the Christian st. Council, re-
sponded to an urgent call by Coun-
Gil Organizer Hutchinson, Negro
worker, and formed a committee
to demand immediate relief for
Florence Stanton, a widow, who was
evicted with her child. Mrs. Stanton
her furniture seized by the land
lord, had made her home on the
steps of the house from which she
was evicted.
The Councils are mobilizing the
jobless around program of de-
mands calling for union wages and
conditions on all relief jobs; SO
weekly cash relief plus SO for each
dependent; no evictions; with
drawal Of police from the relief
stations; no discrimination; and for
the enactment of the Workers I'm
employment Insurance Bill.

Doyle, county chairman Of the
Unemployment Councils, character
lied the scheme as IAN N.R.A.for the
unemployed workers and their or
ganizations" attempt to harness
direct action under the yoke of an

Roosevelt's NRA. Labor Boards,

Under the PRO, faulty admins
ration and actual neglect, to say
nothing Of deliberate discrimina-
ton against certain families or
those of Negro workers, could pro-
coed unhindered by the protest &C
tons of unemployed organizations.
At present, after long struggles
which have sent many militant
leaders to Jail, the unemployed COM
mittees meet with local, district. and
county relief heads to present their
grievances and demand action on
neglected cases. The PRO. would
handle all such meetings in the fu-
ture, making them abortive and
meaningless.
The Emergency Board was warned
by the Unemployment Councils that
they will fight against the PRO.
as bitterly as against the commits
sary plan which Governor Pinchot
once tried to foist upon them. It
was at the height of the latter
struggle, on March 4, 1888, that Jim
Egan was framed to the year in
jail which he now faces.
The Unemployment Councils and
the Unemployed Citizens League
have taken some united action
against the PRO. in joint meet
ings, but as yet no definite pact
has been signed by the two to form
a basis of solid united front. The
only two organizations which are
preparing for immediate struggle
against the scheme are the veterans
and the councils.
In the meantime 1t is hoped that
a program of action can be evolved
upon which the Unemployed Cit
liens Leagues can be drawn into a
solid, united front fight against the
establishment of Public Relations

The delegation from the Unem-

posed the P. R. o. as a move on the
part of the board to deprive the or

their hard-won recognition. and the
other delegates cited various reasons

The board declared fatty how

The establishment of Public
Relations Office, which would de-
vote all its time to the hearing of
complaints of committees from or

would be powerless to act in any
way on the cases which it heard, is
merely the placing of barrier be-

dictionary labor leaders to betray
workers strikes.
Remember how the Daily Worker,
the official organ of the Commu-
mist Party, acted as the collective
organizer in the recent general tex
tile strike? How the mass picket
lines were kept alive because the
Strikers of different cities had con-
tact with each other through the
columns of the Daily Worker? How
the textile workers spread their
strike by using the methods sug-
gested by the Daily Worker.
How much more effective would

Party which has contact with work

Double Exploitation

David L. Jones
Repudiates His
+ Ormer Acts

DETROIT, Oct. 30. - Admitting
that certain Of his actions recently
were against the interests of the
working class in this city and di-
rectly in the interests of the en-
ployers, David L. Jones, who was
supported by the Communist Party
last year in the Dearborn elections,
publicly repudisted his acts and re-
quested the District Committee of
the Communist Party to grant him
the opportunity to rectify his OPP
portunistic mistakes.
Jones full statement to the Party
Committee follows:
To the District Committee,
Dear Comrades:
I wish to inform the District Com
mittee that last week 1 committed
an impermissable act against the
interests OF the workers and the
Communist Party. I was requested
by two election workers of Swiacki
to loan my car to tack up placards
for the Democratic candidate
Swiacki, which I did. I did this
because I thought that I was out
Of the Communist Party in view
of some minor disagreements in re-
gard to the methods of work in the
Dearborn section. Upon further
consideration, I feel that these mat
tiers would have been easily sd-
iusted as they did not constitute
questions Of principle.
Nevertheless, I feel that this act
Of posting up placards for a DEM
ocratic candidate constitutes direct
and indirect support of this can
didate who is aligned with the
Democratic machine and with the
enemies and exploiters Of the work
ing class. Such an act can only be
construed as departing from work
ing-class principles and from the
Communist Party and the Party
would be justified in expslling me
from its ranks. Such acts violate
not only the principles of the Party,
but serve to aid the Republicans
and Democrats who not only gen.
orally but specially in the Ford
Domain Dearborn are sold body
and soul to the exploiters Of the
workers.
Realizing my mistake, I request
that the Party take into considera-
ton my opportunistic past and give
me a further opportunity of chang
ing by remaining in its ranks and
working Fundamentally in support
Of its principles and its candidates
in the election campaign. Irresuec-
tive Of the sction of the. Party
shall attempt to make good this err
ror and to overcome my opportunis-
tic attitudes.
AS Party Of principles which
are true TO the interests OF the
workers, feel that It was correct
for the Party not to put me on the
ballot in this election campaign and
to demand OF me that I show in
practice that I can be trusted by
the Party and the working class.
(Signed) DAVID L. JONES.
