More Victories
For Unemployed

SEATTLE, Jan. 3-Three spe-
cific demands were won by the
Georgetown Unemployed Coun-
ell grievance committee at the
VERA headquarters (Old Times
building) in Seattle last week.
/. Relief officials transferred
all active single workers to the
Transient Bureau, "a Union St.,
expecting to split our unemploy-
| ed organization. This committee
forced the officials to transfer
everyone back to their neighbor-
hood voucher station, saving
many older workers a siX-mile
hike for their measly starvation
voucher.
2. Won certain demands for
more adequate clothing, etc., for
individual cases.
3. Won 1400 lbs. of clean coal for
all unemployed homes, to be de-
livered regularly and without
discrimination. Some homes were
entirely without fuel of any kind.

neighborhood! Organization can

Conference

SEATTLE, Jan. @The North.
west Lumber Workers Confer
ence, called by the National Com
mittee of the NLWU, to be held
in Tacoma January Is, has been
temporarily postponed. The MEG
in drafting plans found the time
very insufficient in which to mo-
'bilize the broad masses of lum-
Der workers, in all unions in the
lumber industry.
The new and fresh attacks OF
the lumber operators on the liv'
ing standards of the lumber
workers, makes a united front
conference all the more neces-
sary. This conference must ex-
press the demands and willing
ness of all lumber workers to
fight for their rights.
The NLWU realizes this senti-
ment, and during the period of
pOstponement will enable our
locals to get in contact with the
unions to jointly work out a
plan and call a broad united
front conference in the immedi-
ate future.

of the 16 riot" defendants we're
freed, and six were given SEN
fences ranging from four to six
months Imprisonment here last
week, after a trial conducted in
an atmosphere of sharpest terror.
Charges of 'rescuing pris-
oner" still hang over William
Golden and Henry Brown, who,
together with Gene Corish, were
sentenced to six months impris-
onment. A sixteenth defendant,
Shoefelt, is charged with assault
with intent to kill an officer"
These three trials are schedul.
ed for January 9.
The charges arose out of the
self-defense by workers against
q police attack against a picket
line of striking FERA workers
on October 80, in which the police
shot two of the strikers and in
jured many more.
During the trial police armed
with riot guns surrounded the
courthouse and filled it's corrid-
ors in hundreds. No one but the
defendants and defense attorneys
were permitted inside the court
room the first day. Later during
the trial witnesses were permit
ter to enter.

The final speech was given by
our militant and fighting pres
ident, Karl Isaksen, who gave a
splendid summary on the accom-
plishments of the men in the
port of Everett who followed
out a program laid down by the
rank and file, and that would
continue to progress providing
that we carry on the methods we
used in the past and not follow
out the plans of high paid labor
betrayers, whose work is to be-
tray labor and not to help the
working class. He concluded his
speech with the statements that
determination will accomplish
things for us, and to keep up the
fight in the future as we did in
the past.
A Voice of Action representa-
tive also spoke, emphasizing the
need of working class support
for working class publications,
and how the Voice should be
used to organize and strengthen

PORTLAND, Jan. 3-The Am

ing a vicious fight to prevent
the repeal of the criminal syndi-
calism law in the 1885 legislature,
which convenes in Salem Janu-
airy IA.
The Oregon Legionnaire, offic-

Onnaires to contact their legis-
lators and obtain pledges that
they will prevent the repeal OF
this measure which recently re-
suited in the conviction of work
ing class leader, Dirk DeJonge,
for seven years, and Kyle Pugh
for five years.
That the fascist program of the
American Legion officialdom is
not meeting with very en-
thusiastic response from rank
and file members is shown by
the fact that in Baker, where a
reception was held December IL
for state leaders, and the usual
attacks were made on Commun-
ists," only Is post members were
present.
Rank and file members of the

to maintain anti-working class
legislation! Send protests to
your legislators
