Unemployed
Start U.C.
Answers Red Scare
With Evidence of
Peoples Misery
BY Mark Halter

ELLENSBURG, Wash, Feb. IA
Taking steps to ward off fur
Their attacks against their living
conditions. the unemployed of
this city have organized a branch
of the Unemployment Councils.
The Chamber of Commerce i'm
mediately raised the cry of reds"
in order to disrupt and smash the
council. The local organization
In answering the red scare, wishes
to point out only a few of the
many grievances and cases which
forced the unemployed to organ
lie.
Windowless House
There is the case of disabled
war veteran whose family lives
in a house with no doors or win
dOws. Under such conditions a
baby was born. The County Com
missioners completely neglected
this family. A joint committee Of
the unemployed and veterans was
elected to see the commission
ers. The organization will also
fight to get the father sent to a
veterans hospital for treatment.
Barefoot Children
The Rogers family lives just
outside the city limits in a shack
with stove found strapped, one
bed on which four children sleep,
, a bunk with straw in a corner in
(which the father, mother and a
child sleep.
The Unemployment Council
Welfare committee found the
children walking barefooted-
and this in February!
The family has two blankets.
A few handfulls of pancake flour
was the only food in the house.
The committee collected some
food for them and is now carrying
their case before the authorities.
Men on relief work get only
40 cents an hour when the FERA
calls for so cents.
These are a few of the reasons
why the Unemployment Council
was organized and these are the
facts which the Chamber Of
Commerce does not want expos
ed. The Unemployment Council
is not red" organization. 1t Is
non-partisan. 1T organizes all I'M
employed regardless of beliefs,
whether Republican, Democrat,
Socialist or Communist.
Let the Chamber of Commerce
tremble at this growing unity of
the unemployed. Let them cry
red" The Unemployment Coun-
ell will forge ahead, fighting in
the interests of the unemployed.

In a recent issue OF the Econ
omic Review of the Soviet Union
il states that the annual tonnage
of fish caught in that country
from 1928 to 1898 follows; 1929,
972. 900; l930-Sl, 1927, 100; 1882,
l,443,00; 1928, 100000.
As a consequence of the pres
ent construction of refrigerating
plants and canneries, the popu-
latiOn is now being provided with
fresh and canned fish in addition
to dried or sailed fish, which for
merly constituted the main part
of the supply. The fish resources
of the Soviet Union are among
the most important in the world.
BY 1880 the output exceeded
that of pre.war times by 30 per
cent and had attained the level
set for the end of the Five Year
Plan, bringing the USSR to sec
ond rank among the countries of
the world in fish production, Dur
ing the first Five Year Plan, cap
ital Investment in the fishing in
dustry exceeded $50, 0OO,0 900 rubles,
chiefly for refrigerating plants
and canneries, the equipment be-
ing purchased partly in the I'm
tied States.
100000 in Industry
The main center of the fishing
industry is the VOlga- Caspia re-
giOn, but the far Eastern fisher
les are gaining in importance.
From 1929 to 1888 the number of
motor vessels in the industry in
creased from Sc to $500. In 1888
the industry had so canneries, II
refrigerator plants, nine ice fac
tories, q by-product plants, eight
shipyards and 26 cooperage plants
and about 250000 persons were
employed in the fisheries.
The Second Five Year Plan pro-
vides for construction of many
new plants, with capital invest
ment in the fishing industry from
1892 to 1897 scheduled at 100000, 900
rubles, and a projected increase
in catch from 1,333,000 tons in
1882 to 100000 tons for 1887.
Large expansion of the fleet
and of canning and processing
plants is contemplated.
