Starving Workers
Speeded on c. W. A.
BY a C.W.A. Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Novel, the Civil
Works Administration has started,
and it is sure dirty deal for the I'M
employed starving workers in st.
Louis.
One OF the workers yesterday was
put on a wheel-barrow moving heavy
wet clay on the Delmar project. This
is in the neighborhood Of the bour-
geoiS river front. This project is
beautifying the river front for a
driveway for the parasites to drive In
their $4,000 cars.
CASHIER, the boss on this job, asked
this worker to hurry up. Well, he
could not hurry, as he was sick from
starvation and malnutrition, being
unemployed over three years, living
off charity put out by the st. Vim
cents de Bunk Paul by holy rack
eteer by the name of Father Butler,
who has had charge of starving thou
sands of workers for three years or
more
This worker could not push an
empty barrow let alone full one,
through the mud, and he got fired,
and his relief was cut off.
On this project the workers also
have to give the Hitler salute by the
raising of the right hand with palms
facing front when they have to go
to the toilet. Some Of the workers
are following the lead of others in
raising the right fist, and CASHIER, the

McLeyy started off the new year with
a grim portend of what the Bridge
port workers can expect from q $50
cialist" administration. The social
list controlled Bridgeport police act
ing on the orders of the captain and
owners of the Greek ship, "Kalypso
Vergotti" whose crew went on strike
for better conditions, arrested five
striking members of the crew on
charges of "mutiny" which were
later changed to breach of peace"
and then held the crew in Jail for
four days without bail while the
captain mustered scab crew to take
the ship out of the harbor.
The Socialist mayor refused even
to investigate" to find out if the
rights of the workers to strike were
violated. On, the contrary, when the
police court was forced finally to
free the crew after mass pressure was
brought into play by the Party, T. u.
U. L. and I. L. D., Mayor McLevy in
suited the strikers by telling them
that they were not citizens of this
country and should not argue with
the mayor. Just the same, McLeyy
was forced to pay for the transpor-

tation of the crew to New York be-
cause their presence in Bridgeport
was too "hot" proposition!
Communist Party in Action for
Workers
The election of the socialist mayor
and administration in the fifth year
OF the crisis in Bridgeport and the
country has already shown that the
workers cannot expect the Socialist
Party to tighten their burdens or to
improve their conditions. Not only
has McLevy not put forward pro-
gram for taking care of the imme-
diate needs of the unemployed (de-
pending only upon federal aid in the
form of the C.WA. etc., but the
Socialist Party is trying to be as
regular" as the old parties so it can
be reelected again. All the sections
OF the administration since they took
office prove this. But the workers
who were dissatisfied with the cap
italist politicians and the boss system
are becoming more dissatisfied than
ever with the inactions of the social
list administration so far as taking
any real steps on behalf of the work
ers is concerned. This dissatisfaction
exists in the ranks Of the Socialist
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-01-09

Party itself. 1t has been increased
because of the example of real action
on behalf of the unemployed and the
workers generally which has been
shown by the Communist Party,
Trade Union Unity League, Interna-
tional Labor Defense and the Unem-
ployed Council. These actions in the
last two months included concrete
gains for the unemployed, concrete
victories in the struggle for Negro
rights and concrete assistance to
workers who were on strike for bet
ter conditions.
Our party has only made a be-
ginning In this direction. We must
continue to show by our deeds that
we are the only political party that
fights for the workers interests.
That We are the only real party of
socialism.
There is work for every member in
the Communist Party-and especially
in Bridgeport. The situation demands
that our party now make a real
change in its method of work so that
we can build up collective and
a bigger membership. We must char
ter our course by the Open Letter if
we wish to succeed.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. T.
Mayor McLevy and his Socialist ad-
ministration have been in office here
for two months. The record of the
Socialist office-holder in this period
shows that the Communist Party was
right in warning the workers of
Bridgeport that the Socialist Party Is
a party Of the employers.
Mayor McLevy,s first official act
was to endorse the Community Chest
swindle. Then he reciprocated the
many pledges of cooperation made
by the Democratic and Republican
politicians upon his election by ap-
pointing some Of them to leading
positions in his administration. At
the first meeting OF the Board Of
Alderman Common CounciD McLevy
refused to allow a resolution against
lynching presented by the 1. l.. D. to
be read. Gle was forced by pressure
from the workers to read the same
resolution at the next Common Coun-
Gil meeting).

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 8.--For the
second time in two days the unem-
ployed workers crowded into the gall
lery of the state senate and tried
to force their way into the house
gallery, on Jan. 4, to demand relief
from the state government. The halls
OF the capitol were filled with work
ers. When the senate for the second
time in two days adjourned at two
o'clock, in fear of the unemployed,
speakers from the gallery represent
ing the Communist Party, and the
Unemployed Councils denounced the
legislatures buck passing and we're
given ovations by the crowd. Forty
thousand dollars has been spent al
ready on this second special session
which has been on three weeks, and
nothing has been done for the I'M
employed.
Invade Senate FlO@
On Jan. 8, a big demonstration of
1000 workers was staged in the legis-
lature by the unemployed workers.
They demanded relief, and also that
sixty tons of stored food be inne-
diately released for over 10000 FAM
lilies cut off relief. The legislature
hastily adjourned as speaker after
speaker rose in the galleries. A
meeting Of the unemployed was then
held on the floor Of the senate.
Demand Social Insurance
Dick Allender, of the Unemployed
Councils, and Bill Dietrich Of the
Communist Party, spoke. They de-
manded the legislature appropriate
immediate relief, and indorse the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill. Rydeberg spoke in the house
on the demands of the Workers Ex-
Service Mems League. The house
then hastily adjourned.
The speakers denounced diScrimi-
nation against the Mexican and
Negro workers and pointed out that
in three weeks session the legislature
has done nothing for the unemployed.
