New York C. P. Urges Fight
for adequate Relief at Once
La Guardia's Tax Schemes Called ManeHver to
Put Through Tax ON Wages and Fares

ances, is thrown overheard by the
Board of Aldermen.
THE schools are opening. Work
ers' children, bare and ragged and
hungry, are not provided with any
guarantee Of lunches and clothing.
Hiding behind the planned excuse
Of opposition from the Board of
Aldermen, instead of providing in
creased relief, LaGuardia is prepar-
ing wage taxes, higher fare, salary
grabs for the employed and hunger
and restitution for the unemployed
in the name of the sacredness Of
the bankers agreement, in the
name Of the sanctity of the plum
dered wealth Of the rich. Big bust
ness must not be touched. The 100
million dollars to the bankers is
more important than the well-be-
ing and lives of the unemployed
and their children.
1.-THE Communist Party, the rev
dictionary Party Of the working
working class, in the last mayoralty
elections, exposed the role of La
Guardia and foretold his program
Of carrying through the bankers
agreement at the expense of the
relief of the unemployed and living
standards Of the whole working
population. The Communist Party
calls upon the unemployed and en-
ployed workers to tear off the hypo-
critical treacherous demagogic mask
of LaGuardia, to unite in the de-
mands:
For immediate appropriations
Of adequate relief funds for all
unemployed! Tear up the bank
ers' agreement! Fight against
any fare tax, wage or sales taxes!
Tax the rich-use the usurious
interest paid to the bankers to
provide adequate emergency cash
for winter relief to the unem-
pIOyed! Organize-demonstrate in
all neighborhoOds, throughout the
city for immediate adequate re-
lief payment! Prepare to demon
strate for your demands by the
thousands at the Board of Alder
men meeting on the 14th. Build
the Unemployment Councils!
TN the coming elections vote
for the Party of struggle in de-
Tense Of the living standards and
rights of the masses. Vote for
and support the candidates of the
Communist Party, the candidates
who lead the fight for relief, for
jobs, for unemployment and So
cial insurance. Vote Communist
vote against the parties Of the
bosses-the parties of hunger,
wage cuts and police terror"

5000 .JObless
Demonstrate
in Allentown

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Sept. Give
thousand unemployed workers dem
onstrated here Monday demanding
an immediate end to all evictionS
and sheriff sales and immediate
payment for all rents and provision
for light and fuel for the jobless.
Pitched battles with the landlords
and their hired thugs on one side
and unemployed workers on the
other side are resulting from the
refusal Of the Lehigh County Poor
Board to make provision for paying
rents. In many instances, police,
sheriffs and constables are refusing
to undertake the sales and evictionS
ordered by the landlords.
One landlord smashed down win
dows and doors in entering house
and upset a stove placed there by
the poor board because of the birth
of baby.
Another landlord hired men to
tear the roof from a house in or
der to Dust a widow and two small
children. The men were pulled
from the roof by an enraged crowd
of workers.
Still another landlord armed his
friends with pick handles and sue
ceeded in removing half of the fur
niture from a tenants home before
workers arrived and stopped the
eviction. A member of the evicted
family was i'll in bed under the care
of doctor and a nurse.
The unemployed workers of Al
lentown, disguised with the con-
ciliatory leadership Of the Unem-
ployed Leagues, who in the past en-
gagged a lawyer to meet with the
landlords on the question of evic-
tons and advised the membership
to take legal steps to stop evictions
are modifying the workers for mill
tant action to end all evictions and
force the County Poor Board to pay
rents, gas, fuel and electricity for
all the jobless.

Ford Lays Off Workers
In Thousands; Union
To Demand Cash Relief
Special to the Daily worker

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 6.-Ford
workers, returning to work yester-
day after shutdown of over
week, found that thousands of them
were being laid off for an indefinite
period.
The extent Of the layoff may be
judged from the fact that in one
department, out of one hundred
workers, about a dozen are now
left.
The manner in which this layoff
is being carried through is an old
Ford trick. Instead Of laying work.
ers off and taking their badges
away at the time of the shutdown,
he has the workers return with the
expectation of getting their jobs
back In this way he tries to
demoralize the workers and make
those who remain more fearful of
their jobs.
The Auto Workers Union is TAX
ing steps to organize the fight for
adequate cash relief for unemployed
Ford workers.

Federal Relief Grant
Made to Pennsylvania;
Special Session Called

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. g.

1,750,0o0 Pennsylvania unemployed
and their dependents, federal relief
administrator Harry L. Hopkins
yesterday allotted $1O,500, 900 to the
state to meet September relief pay
ments.
Governor Pinchot, who yesterday
announced the converting Of spe-
cial session of the State Legislature
on Sept. 10, later moved the date
to Sept. IL, because of Jewish hqli-
days. He declined to say wheth&
he will throw the assembly wide
open or confine it to the issue Of
relief legislation. Hopkins is de-
manding that the State match fed
eral relief grants dollar for dollar.

NEW YORK - Declaring that
Mayor LaGuardia's tax schemes are
a maneuver preparatory to putting
over the subway tax and taxes on
wages and salaries, the New York
District Committee of the Commu-
mist Party yesterday issued a state
ment calling for organized strug-
gle against LaGuardia's plans.
The statement follows:
ut is now clear from the action
Of the Board of Aldermen that the
LaGuardia tax proposal Is a ma
neuver in order to carry through
the fare tax and wage and salary
taxes in the interests Of the bank
ers and big business. This sleekest
servant Of the bankers hides the
planned plundering Of the workers
and poor population generally be-
hind the smoke screen of a pro-
posed business tax. LaGuardia in
this case runs true to form. Each
time before slashing the relief OF
the unemployed, before firing
C.W.A. and other relief workers
before carrying through salary cuts
he invariably INDUCES in his choic-
est demagogy, sheds crocodile tears
over the unemployed, and pays lip
service to the need for unemploy-
ment insurance.
"The revolt organized by La
Guardia in his Board of Aldermen
including the Fusion as well as
Tammany and Republican mem
bers against his proposed tax bill
and the demagogic, weak, half
hearted defense Of this bill by the
President of the Board of Alder
men, is one of the most cynica
acts of treachery as yet perpetratec
by LaGuardia. The action Of the
Board Of Aldermen and the failure
of LaGuardia to issue a specia
message to the legislature on tbs
tax bill is serious menace tC
the masses of employed and unem-
ployed, to the poor consumers gen
orally. Higher fare, wage and salary
raids, the drastic reduction OF re-
lief to a point below the present
hunger level threatens the employ
ed and unemployed masses.
Behind the demagogy and ma
neuvers of LaGuardia stands out
the stern and brutal fact that M
relief funds are now available fo'
more than 100000 destitute fam
lilies. Relief workers are being free
by the thousands. With winter set
ting in, even the so-called La
Guardia plan for raising so million
dollars for the year, in itself
drastic reduction in relief allow

Negro Woman
Badly dubbed
In Cop Attack

NEW YORK.-A young Negro
woman was brutally kicked and
dubbed and several other workers
badly beaten and arrested Wednes-
day night when LaGuardia's police
launched a savage attack on a
peaceful demonstration of white
and Negro workers protesting job
discrimination against Negroes by
the Empire Cafeteria, 125th st. and
Lenox Ave.
The attack occurred when, follow
ing meeting at Lenox Ave. and
127th ST., about 300 white and Ne
gro workers began walking toward
the Empire Cafeteria to protest the
refusal Of the management to hire
Negroes as countermen or in any
capacity other than porters.
Led BY Haywood, Stachel
The meeting was led by Harry
Haywood, national secretary Of the
League of Struggle for Negro
Rights and Communist candidate
for State Senator in the 18th As
sembly District, and by Jack
Stachel, acting national secretary
of the Trade Union Unity League.
Both leaders have been in the fore
front of the fight against the EN-
pire Cafeteria. Last Saturday Mil
ton Herndon, brother of Angelo
Herndon, was arrested before the
same cafeteria.
AS the last group neared the cafe
terra Wednesday night police
launched a sudden and ferocious
attack, selling individual workers
and subjecting them to terrific
beating. A militant Negro woman
was dubbed to the pavement and
kicked as she lay helpless, before
she was rescued by other workers.
AS a signal for the police attack,
a man who, witnesses testified, later
Joined in beating the Negro woman,
threw brick into the windows Of
the cafeteria.
Meeting Grows to 1000
The meeting reasembled at 126th
Street after the attack and grew to
over 1000. Haywood spoke immedi-
ately after the police attack. He
hailed the presence of hundreds OF
white workers, calling it real an
swer of the working class to those
Negro misleaders who raise the
slogan of driving all white workers
from Harlem, and who declare the
white workers are the enemies OF
the Negroes. His speech was fire.
quently interrupted by enthusiastic
cheers, especially when he men
toned the role of the Communist
Party in fighting for Negro liberia
ton.
He was followed on the stand by
Jack Stachel, who declared that
impressive demonstrations Of soil
darity of Negro and white are &C.
curing all over the country ano
especially in strike struggles. The
Empire Cafeteria, though not q
large plant, was held by Stachel tc
synboli9e the capitalist method Of
race division. He declared that
victory at the Empire would oper
the road to whole series Of i'm
portant victories.

Liberator, pledged full support wher
he addressed the large meeting
Other speakers were James Ash,
ford of the Negro Liberator, anc
Milton Herndon. Mike Walsh
