Push the WEIR A.
Investigation

The investigation of the Washington Emer-
gency Relief Association, now being conducted
by the State Legislature in Olympia, should be
given sharp attention by Washington workers.
Attempts will undoubtedly be made by the
political flunkeys in the Legislature to suppress
the most shameful crimes of the Martin-Ernst
misery relief set-up. Washington unemployed
must see to it that this does not happen.
The VERA must be exposed to all eyes as
the inhuman monster it is-a beast Of starvation
turned loose on the states jObless by the Roose-
velt-War Street government in Washington,
D. c., and the banker controlled Martin admin
istration in Olympia.
The Voice of Action calls on all workers who
have grievances with the VERA to list these
grievances on duly signed affidavits and send
them to the State Committee of Action, 2l7 Mu-
tual Life Building, Seattle.
Evidence of graft discrimination, unwar-
ranted relief cutoffs and activity of voucher sta
ton thugs should be presented.
The State Committee will gather these af-
hdavts and take them to Olympia, where it will
present them to the Investigations committee
and demand hearing
We also request workers on relief to attend
the Seattle Unemployed Citizens Leagues open
hearings on the VERA during the coming weeks
and air their complaints. The meeting places of
the UCL locals will be found in this weeks pa

Fight for HR 128
Is Just Starting

Where do we go from here in the fight for
unemployment insurance?
The Statewide Congress for Unemployment
Insurance was a mighty achievement for the
Washington working class. 230 delegates, elected
by every variety of working class and liberal or
ganzation, were present at the Congress, and
raised a loud voice for passage of HB 12S for
1nerly Initiative Al, the state Workers Unem-
pl0yment and Social Insurance Bill.
And do not forget that these delegates
braved threats of terror by Mayor Longaker
of Olympia and the vigilantes in attending the
Congress.
Forty Thousand signatures, petitioning the
enactment of the Workers bill were presented
to the legislature.
But we must not look upon this great
Congress and signature drive as the end of the
fight. On the other hand we must regard it as
only the first step in our struggle.
In order to win real unemployment insur-
ance we will have to flood the state legislature
with tremendous wave of demands for the
immediate passage of lib 1923. We will have to
engulf the u S. Congress with mass demands
for the enactment of HR 1927 the national bill.
Representative Ernest Lundeen of Mime
sofa, who introduced HR 1927 in the House of
Representatives, tells us how we can win I'M
employment insurance.
Says Lundeen: The combined protest against
the Wagner-Lewis bill must be sustained. The
demands for the support of the Workers bill
must roll into the offices of the members of
Congress like a mighty wave. Then you'll see
results. You know, congressman pay close at
tention to their mail"
Let us follow the advice of Congressman Lun-
deem. Carry on the fight for real unemploy-
ment insurance on two fronts, state and national
Only our mass demands can win for u.s.

This is the essence, the crux
of the matter: 1t is the Commun-

the capitalists know that in the

CONTROL OF CITY OFFICIALS

Dear Editor:
Aberdeen is on par with most
cities in the state of Washington,
as far as the number of racket
eering and grating city officials
are concerned. A few years ago,
the city had a few thousand dol
lars on hand that the racketeer-
ing councilmen had not placed
in one or more channels, so that
either they or their principals
bankers, lumber companies and
large scale merchants, the big
employers and exploiters) whose
tools and agents they have been
and are now, could not get their
hands on.
Some of the good, forward-look-
ing citizens proposed that this
money be used to build NUM-
cipal hydrO-electric plant and
light system so that Aberdeen
could get more industries to To-
cate here. The local Wall Street
power company hollered loudly,
Communism, Socialism, Anarchy.
! They became more generous with
their grease money"
The Aberdeen World" became
louder mouthpiece for these in
terests, as did most of the civic
organizations. They predicted an
awful consequence II the city
went into the power business.
In spite of all the lies told by
these leaders, the people rejected
their leadership and voted for the
bonds.
Then these leaders got busy.
Their lies and actions multiplied.
A Mr.. Briggs, of the power trust,
came here and after much push
ing, Misrepresentation and cajol-
ing, the city councilman publish
ed their pictures and persuaded
the people that what Aberdeen
really needed was not power, but
water for the pulp mills, which
would be installed II there was
enough water.
Finally enough of the voters
became confused and voted for
the water project.
This turned out to be the po-
litical chicanery of the most blat-
ant kind, and shows low the big
capitalists use our elected rep
resentatives for their own ends.

Growing fearful of mass pressure, the state

New York recently disclosed the fact that most
OF the relief employees were working under

airy buildings, and for unreasonably long hours.

ANY person wlfully violating the

demeanor and upon conviction shall be

Hundred Dollars nor more than One

not more than one year. or by both such

over 1888. The living standards
of the people increased enor-

not those Russians can ever
become a great people,"
FRANCE - Panicky feelings
are Selling the ruling class OF
France. Since the bankruptcy OF
the greatest automobile plant in
France and the failure of other
large financial institutions, the
national income, foreign trade,
and living standards of the mass
es have been falling rapidly. I'm
employment is rapidly on the in
crease.
BELGIUM-This little coun-
try, which with France is the
only nation still on the gold
standard, has been kept from go
ing off to silver in recent months
only by the frenzied shipment Of
American gold to buoy up her
treasury. Belgium on silver
standard would be debating of a
considerable foreign market for
the u. s. At the same time the
U. s. is resOrting to initiation by
the selling of small bonds instead
of taxation of the wealth.
ITALY-The rising tide of re-
evolutionary sentiment Is on the
increase in Italy. The under
ground organizations are daily
becoming more effective in their
work. And the spontaneous re-
volt-spirit of the peasants is ra-
pidy on the increase. Recent at
tempts of the police to confis-
cate peasant property for non
payment of taxes caused the
peasants to drive police from the
region in defense of their lives.
Peasant revolts are becoming
ever more frequent.
CHINA-With Japan's latest
move to seize more Chinese ter
ritOry, all the imperialist nations
are rapidly and quietly concen-
trating their armed forces in and
around Chinese waters. American
ships have recently been sent to
some. of the strategic island
points in the Western Pacific.

Giuseppe Emanuele M0digliani,

spoke here Sunday night, for two

"The Pr reporter was In our

duced Modigliani, who is not a
Communist but a Socialist parti-

Both Modigliani and I wish
to apologize to Seattle workers
for the red-baiting article that
appeared In the Pr, headlined

This piece of gutter journal
