Contracts were supplied chiefly,
by the South, spot houses and
local traders. There was a little
scattered liquidation evident, but

CLOTH FAIRLY ACTIVE

NEW YORK, Jan. GN.s.).-In
the first session Of the new year the
coarse yarn cloths market gave a
fairly good performance today. Mod
erately good quantities were taken BY
wide range of buyers at steady
prices for relatively nearby needs.
The possibility that shortage Of
print cloth yarn goods will develop
with a subsequent increase in prices,
was widely recognized by traders.
In some sources. 1t Is estimated.
sales for the first quarter are likely
to run as high as $50 per cent OF
production, since when a shortage de-
velops there will be a tendency to
buy ahead against further advances.

Plans Action
For Jobless

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Nov. Is
The preliminary conference Of
workers and farmers organizations
which was held here on Oct. 20 and
attended by seventy eight delegates
representing total membership of
1850, has laid plans for a State
Congress for Unemployment Insur-
ance and Relief. The congress will
be held in st. Paul at the opening
of the State Legislature on Jan. II,
10 and IA.
The discussions at the prelimi-
nary conference clearly brought out
the insufhciency of relief, the slave
conditions on the E R. A. jobs, and
starvation conditions existing in the
farm communities throughout the
State.
The preliminary conference drew
up two bills for enactment by the
State, one for the Workers Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance Bill,
and the other for farm relief. Lo-
cal demands and plans of action
around which struggles are already
being developed on the relief jobs
and in the towns were adopted. An
arrangements committee was set up
to organize the State Congress.
In the farm areas, joint struggles
have already been developed by the
United Farmers League and the
Farm Holiday Association. The
State Office of the Farm Holiday
Association has also agreed to sup
port the coming congress and the
joint struggles for relief to the i'm
poverished farmers. Plans have
been drawn up to visit all locals of
the American Federation of Labor
for the election of delegates to both
the National Congress for Unem-
ployment Insurance to be held in
Washington on Jan. 5, and 7, and

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 15.-
John Williamson, district organizer
of the Communist Party today
called on every branch of every
working class organization in the
city to send representatives to an
emergency conference next Tues
day to defeat the new threats OF
Mayor Harry L. Davis against all
working class meetings, parades
and demonstrations.
The meeting will be held in the
Workers School, 1924 Prospect Ave.
at $3.50 p. m. Delegates from all
branches of the Workers Ex-Ser-
vicemens League, the Small Home
Owners Association, the Unem-
ployment Councils, the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and various
trade union groups have been es-
pecially called on to send dele
gates.
The latest threat of Fascist
violence against the working class
movement in this city on large
scale is in the recent call of the
American Legion, with the encour-
agement of the Mayor, for the or
gani5ation of vigilante groups.
I'VE must act at once to OPP
pose and to smash this menace"
Williamson said in his cell. Every
organization must send at least
one representative, an appointed
one if there is not sufficient time
to elect one before the date of the
conference
