Unemployed Leader
Held in Youngstown
For Deportation
Especial to the Daily WORKER

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Nov. 3d.
In what is an obvious attempt to
intimidate foreign-born workers and
weaken and destroy the Trumbul
County unemployed, the United
States Department of Labor have
arrested Leon Callow, secretary of
the Niles Local of the Trumbull
Unemployed Workers Union, and
are holding him for deportation
The hearing on the deportation
proceedings will be held in Youngs-
town Monday. Callow has been in
the country since 1915. The inter
national Labor Defense will defend
him, and is mobilizing mass defense.
1t has called upon all organizations
to adopt protest resolutions and
send them to Bangs, Federal Build
ing, Youngstown. Copies of the pro-
test resolutions should be sent the

United Front Plans Are
Pushed Forward By
Unemployed

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 3d.
The Unemployment Councils of Al
legheny County have completed
plans for the calling of a local con-
ference on unemployment insurance
in Pittsburgh to precede the Ma
tional Unemployed Conference in
Washington, January ST, in order
to make definite plans for mobiliz-
ing as many delegates as possible
for the national meeting and take
up the problems which face unem-
ployed organizations in the district.
Calls are now being sent out for the
local conference, which will meet in
Walton Hall, 220 Stanwix Street,
Pittsburgh, Saturday, December %,
at II a. m.
The call, signed by the local Ar
engagements Co m m t tie for the
National Congress, requests all Or
carnations to send elected Wash
ington delegates to the Pittsburgh
meeting, in addition to those who
can attend the latter, but will be
unable to make the Washington
trip. Ways and means for insuring
their attendance at the national
congress will be worked out at the
time.
In the meantime, the united front
of unemployed organizations here
against the Public Relations Office
recently established by the Ale
gheny County Emergency Relief
Board is continuing activities and
representatives of the various
groups are close to signing united

If this means that the relief cut
has been taken back, this is re-
suit of the mass pressure of the
workers. But reports of the unem-
ployed workers who are on relief are
to the contrary. Their reports in
dictate that the relief cut has taken
place, that the workers have re-
ceived less food and they are espe-
cially affected in view Of the in
creased cost of living.
The struggle for the forcing of
taking back the relief cut. for the
whole program as adopted by the
United Front Conference on Nov.

Vehement denials Of the sweeping
cuts in relief have come from the
Illinois Emergency Relief Commits
sion. Yet, despite these denials,
workers on the relief lists repeated
ly have pointed out the effects of
the sweeping cuts instituted on
Nov. 1, and against which $4,000
marched in the giant united front
relief march here on Nov. "a.
The Chicago City Council at its
meeting where the permit was
granted for the parade on Novem-
Der a, adopted the following reso-
luton:
Whereas 1t is reported that the
Illinois Emergency Relief Commits
sion has issued an order to the eff
feet that all relief be reduced from
10 per cent to Is per cent begin
ming Nov. l; and
Whereas such an act will lower
the standard of living of those on
relief below even the minimum sub
sistence standard that they preYi-
ously had; and
Whereas it also reported that
the relief commission has issued
another order to the effect that
those living on relief, if offered a
steady job, the payment Of which
equals the relief budget, such per-
sons must take such a job or be
denied relief; and
Whereas such policy requiring
men and women to work for wages
equal to the relief subsistence
would tear down the standards not
only of organized labor, but stand
ards even lower; therefore be it
Resolved that the Judiciary
Committee hold public hearing
and conduct an investigation as to
conditions and rule and regulations
now existing in connection with
the Illinois Emergency Relief"
This resolution has been intro
duced by Alderman Nelson, Repub-
lican, of the 46th Ward and vice
president of the Chicago Federation
of Labor The main purpose for
introducing this resolution was to
pacify the masses of the unem-
ployed. In introducing it Oscar Mel
son made a vicious attack against
the Communist Party and slandered
the Communist Party, stating that
the Communists are not interested
in increasing relief for the unem-
ployed; that they would prefer that
all relief be cut off 80 that they
can start the revolution" 1t is well
known to the masses of Chicago, to
the members of the A. F. of L. and
the local unions that the Commit
nistS are in the very first ranks in
the struggle, precisely for the in
crease of relief, for the Workers
Unemployment and Social Insur-
ance Bill, for public works, for jobs
for the unemployed. The adoption
of the resolution at the City Coun-
Gil was a result of the mass pres
sure exerted upon the City Council
by the locals of the A. F. of L., IN

CATION Of the conditions, rules and
regulations OF the Illinois Emer-
gency Relief Commission.
It must also be stated that one
of the members Of the Illinois
Emergency Relief Commission is
Victor Olander. secretary treasurer
Of the Illinois Federation of Labor.
He raised no voice Of protest against
the cut in relief and against the
enactment Of the rule by the Hi
nois Emergency Relief Commission
that everybody on relief offered a
job equal to relief budget must ac-
cept. This means not only using
this to lower the level of the whole
working class, but in addition it is
a Strikebreaking provision.
Relief Head Replies
The adoption Of the resolution by
the City Council brought protest
from Wilfred s. Reynolds of the
Illinois Emergency Relief Commits
sion. In a statement issued to the
Chicago Tribune referring to the
resolution and to the fact that a
10 per cent to IS per cent cut in
relief has been made, declares:
"The figures used by the City
Council are the same ones being
utilized by radicals, including
Communists, in new attempts to
foment unrest among the unem-
ployed. These figures are abso-
lutely incorrect I am rather sur
priSed that the aldermen quoted
the figures on a reported basis
when a telephone call to me would
have given them the truth"
Reynolds further declared that
he would:
GLADLY admit the councils
charge that relief clients must ac-
cept an offer Of permanent pri-
fdtC employment II inc wages
equal the amount Of their total
relief budget"
This shows very clearly the whole
anti-labor character of the Illinois
Emergency Relief Commission Of
which Victor Olander, secretary Of
the Illinois Federation of Labor, is
a member. The local unions of the
A. F. of L., the Chicago Federation
of Labor must Immediately place
and demand the question Of the
conduct Of Victor Olsnder in the
Illinois Emergency Relief Commits
sion in the light that he gives sup
port to anti-labor activity Of the
Illinois Emergency Relief Commits
sion, approves the cuts in relief,
thus exposing this labor faker.
And now, as to the figures of Mr..
Reynolds. who so theoretically pro-
tests that there is no cut in relief.
Here are the facts, taken from the
bulletins of the Illinois Emergency

IS Unemployed Leaders
Will Face Court Monday
|. L. ID. Appeals to All
Workers to Support
Defense Fight

HILLSBORO, ILL.,, Noy. 30.-On
December 8, before the Circuit
Court, IS leaders of the movement
of the unemployed in Montgomery
County, among them Communist
Village Board members of Taylor
Springs, members of the Progress
sive Miners of America, members
of the Communist Party, one mem
Der of the Young Peoples Socialist
League, members of the LID, will
go on trial on charges of violation
of the anti-labor criminal syndical-
list law.
The trial of the is Hillsboro de-
PENDANTS is one of the most vicious
attacks upon organized labor in the
State of Illinois and it must be met
as challenge for the right of work
ers to organize, picket, strike and
demonstrate. Therefore, the struggle
for the freedom of the Hillsboro
defendants, together with the strug-
gle for the repeal of the criminal
Syndicalist law must become an is
sue before the workers in every
shop, among the masses of the I'M
employed, in the trade unions,
among the professionals and farm
ers throughout the State of Illinois
Support Needed
The International Labor Defense,
which leads the defense of the Is
Hillsboro defendants, appeals to
every working class organization
and to the workers in general to
give maximum support to the case.
1t urges organizations to send res
olutions demanding the squashing
of the indictment against the Is
Hillsboro defendants and for the re-
peal of the criminal syndicalist law.
Resolutions and kilograms should
be forwarded to Governor Horner,
Springfield, Illinois, and to States
Attorney Hall, Hillsboro, Illinois.
Bill Gebert, District Organizer Of
the Communist Party, issued a
statement declaring: THE Hillsboro
case is a direct attack upon the
rights of the Communist Party. In
the last election the Horner adj
ministration ruled the Party off the
ballot. Now, for membership in the
Communist Party, for organization
of the unemployed, Is heroic
miners and other workers in Mont
gomery County are facing 20 years
in the penitentiary because they
took the right which they have, to
organize and demonstrate to en-
force their demands.
Urges Mass Pressure
1.-THE Hillsboro case must arouse
the whole working class and the
toiling masses. Only mass pressure
can free the Hillsboro Boys. The
struggle for the Hillsboro defen-
dants must be made part of the
struggle for the Scottsbor Boys, for
the freedom of the heroic leader of
the German Communist Party,
Comrade Ernst Thaelmann, for the
freedom of Tom Mooney and all
other class war prisoners in this
country.
Full support to the International
Labor Defense is necessary in the
struggle for the freedom of the
Hillsboro defendants, for the de-
feat of the Criminal Syndicalist
Law, for the right of the workers
to organize, strike, picket and
demonstrate"

JobIess Win Victory

AKRON, O., Nov. 29.-The Summit
County relief authorities, under
pressure of a strong mass demon
stration held by the Unemployment
Councils last Wednesday, were
forced to grant the right of repre-
sentation. The Unemployment
Councils were recognized as the
representatives of the unemployed
on the County Relief Board. In
the future delegates of the Unem-
ployment Councils will be present
at the meetings of the County Re-
lief Administration to present the
demands and grievances of the
workers.

Charge of Communism
Dropped Despite
Pressure

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 30.-On the
insistence of the reactionary Amer
lean Federation of Labor official
dom, Wilcox, militant Akron
painter, was again brought to trial
for expulsion from the painters
local union on the charge of being
a Communist.
The membership previously re-
fused to expel him, claiming that
Section 88 of the union constitution
is not clear on this point. The In
ternational now in a letter urged
the local to write to the American
Federation of Labor Executive
Council for advice in case they are
not clear about the meaning of this
section.
The local, however, at its last
meeting, refused this suggestion
and went on record unanimously to
drop all charges against Wilcox.
The Central Labor Union, with
the assistance of Thomas Donnelly,
secretary of the Ohio State Fedora
ton of Labor, who was specially
brought here for this purpose, after
strong opposition recently passed a
resolution to expel all Communists
from the American Federation of
Labor local unions. Twenty-three
delegates voted against it. One
Party member, followed by three
non-Party members, spoke against
the resolution. The unexpectedly
strong opposition, as expressed in
the number of speakers and the
% votes against the resolution,
frightened the officials so much
that they struck the entire thing
out of the Central Labor Union
minutes that we're sent to the local
unions.

The Dog Nuisance

The town Of McGraw, N. Y, has
got into the headlines recently be-
cause Of the misbehavior of some pet
dogs owned by its citizens. -Four
dogs attacked little girl, mangled
her arm SO badly that it may have
to be amputated-and were, as a re-
suit, sentenced to death by a justice
Of the peace.
Here Is just the sort of item that
IS sure to arouse the indignation OF
dog-lovers. But it also contains q
useful little lesson for those of us
who like to keep dogs as pets.
A dog which IS surly or vicious is a
neighborhood nuisance, and often Is
an actual menace to public safety
The man who owns such dog owes
it to his neighbors to keep it Gagged
or tethered at all times.
II he fails to do so, he hardly can
complain If his neighbors insist that
the animal be destroyed-no matter
how deserving of human affection
the ordinary dog may be.

will agree with that; and there is
nothing so persuasive, in such a mat
