Unemployed Council In Buffalo Fights Growing Evictions) BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 19.—At | the last meeting of the Unemployed | Council of Buffalo of Oct, 13, the main point on the agenda was the) case of our fellow worker, P, Ani-| schenko, who is unemployed and has a wife and child. His landlord gave this worker a notice to appear be- fore the judge for non-payment of | his rent, The Unemployed Council of Buf- falo took steps immedately. Leaf- lets were issued calling a protest meeting to be held in front of the courthouse, on the day that he is supposed to appear at court, The members of the council] began dis- tributing at once. Some of the members reported) be in danger of ing the electric chair as are six organizers now facing insurrection charge in Atlanta. The and even lives of Negro workers will be in more danger than ever. The working class must be warned inst this menace and mobilized on a struggle against fas- cism and for the release of the six Atlanta defendants POLICE MURDER NEGRO WORKER LC Leads Protest KANSAS CITY, Oct. 19.—For the third time in ten days, Kansas City,| employment crisis, and wage their | Mo., police have deliberately com- mitted murder against the Negro masses.

See how th “socialists” began showing their true capitalist colors by sympathiz- ing with the unspeakable Walker because he was “insulted”! Now it goes without saying that if the Communists have insulted the grafting Mayor of New York City, they are;not at all sorry about it. In the first place, what possible insulting word could be said about Walker that is not true? But the capitalist papers, in an effort to defend Walker against the workers, undertook to give the truth a couple of twists and make Nessin say things he didn’t things that would make it look like Nessin was not interested in forcibly pre- senting the demands of the unem- | | But hoity toity!

What the cap- italist press had was the longhand notes of their reporters plus a de- sire to lie about the affair. They don’t agree even with each other. The “Times” for example, relating what Nessin said that was so “in- “Whom do you represent?” was: “I am here for the Unemployed Council, and I would rather be here representing the unemployed work- ers than representing the grafters as you do?” To which Walker replied in a shriek:—“You dirty red! two minutes I'll jump down there and smash you in the face!” A frenzied and typical gangster threat | which his detectives carried out, but which the “Times” tried to make a bit more dignified by changing into: “That little remark prompts me to come down and thrash the life out of you.

To Heywood Broun, the “socialist,” Mayor Walker appears holy and righteous altogether compared to the vile Communists. Walker is approved because he “doesn’t like Commu- nists.” Broun goes it clear to the timber- line, saying:—“The Mayor of New York ought to be protected against public insult of this kind.

As a flimsy excuse for their act, they stated that Evans had beeen reported to them as being dangerously insane. Evans’ wife and neighbors de- nounced this crude lie.

NEGROES HAIL LYNCHING FIGHT TOILERS PROTECT RED SPEAKERS Defy Cop Efforts to Break Up Meet MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 17.—Hun- dreds of unemployed workers, crowding the “slave market” today attended the meeting held by the Unemployed Council and when the police tried to stop the meeting by arresting the speaker George Pow- ers, Secretary of the Trade Union Unity League, prevented the arrest end the meeting continued to its conclusion. During the course of |the meeting the workers responded to the speaker’s urge to “Vote Com- munist” with loud applause.

They are using the burners to burn the seams andrcracks out of the steel in place of_chipping it out. They have put up a platform and on this they have 20 tanks of gas con- nected together and six burners working. This system increases production with less men, and the steel] bosses plan to extend it as rap- idly as possible, using 40 burners to take the place of 200 chippers. Realizing that unrest is increas- ing with these tactics, the bosses are sending spies around to the T.U.U.L. and Communist Party headquarters. The workers, how- ever, are not being scared but are coming in large numbers to join the revolutionary unions and the only working-class party. “SOCIALIST” MAYOR It is clear that the capitalist papers, which pretend to “attack” Tammany grafters, rushed to their defense the moment a worker really stand the. soulful unity between |} S?ecl#! arrangements can. be made Tammany scoundrels and “socialist” scoundrels.

ATLANTA, Oct. 19,—The Party | wiit, with the cooperation of the International Labor Defense branch of Atlanta has been engaged in the distribution of thousands of leaflets, on the Atlanta case where six com- rvades are due for trial soon. The leaflets sharply expose the efforts of the bosses to railroad to the elec- tric chair the two Negro comrades land the rest of them, for the crime {of organizing the fearfully ex- ploited mill workers of this city into | .| militant labor organizations. This last edition of the Southern Worker carried a picture and story of the lynching of Will Clark, at Cartersville, Ga., who was lynched by a bosse’s mob two weeks ago, and of Wilkie Kirkland, a 20-year old Negro youth who was lynched by Thomasville, Ga. bosses A Negro preacher, after having read the story of the two lynchings in the Southern Worker, came to the LL.D. secretary asking him for more copies, and when asked how he liked the paper said. “Well if you want to know what I think of the paper I will tell you, so much | do I think of it I am going to read) it to our members in the church this Sunday morning, and will be glad for one of your speakers to come and tell our members about your organization which you say is fighting against the lynching of Negro workers, our membership I am sure will be with you.” VOTE COMMUNIST! better not butt in!” As he made a move for the second time to grab the speaker, several brawny lumber- men closed in and the cop, mutter- ing, “Well, I’ll get some help” made a hasty getaway. When he returned with reinforcements to make the arrest, the rest of the cops also decided that they’d better not risk a battle with he angry unemployed workers, and contented themselves with pleading with the speaker not to “block the sidewalk.” Following this meeting, the workers held an organization meeting at the T.U. U.L. hall, where many lined up. As a part of the “Organize and Strike” campaign fund, the T.U. U.L. in Minneapolis is arranging a “Hard Time” Dance to take place Thursday, Oct. 28rd at Humboldt Hall, 1317 Glenwood Ave., Minne- ‘apolis.

Springfield Workers Fight Atlanta Death Threat; Hear Burlack SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Oct. 19.— On October 14th, the workers of Springfield turned out in hundreds to the mass protest meeting which was held at the Victory Hall, and where Ann Burlak one of the six Atlanta defendants who are facing the electric chair for daring to or- ganize Negro and white workers, was the main speaker. Many workers who had never been to the labor meetings in Springfield before now turned out to hear this young labor organizer who is now touring the eastern part of the United States. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one, and when an appeal for funds was made the workers responded liberally al- though unemployment is very pro- nounced in this section of the cgun- try just as in every industrial center of the country. The collect’ amounted to $72.43 of which the dif- ferent labor organizations contribu- ted $25. The following organiza- tions contributed: The Russian branch of the ILL.D. donated $10; the International Workmens Order, $5; the Ukrainian Toilers Organiza- tion, $5; the Workingwomens Coun- cil, $5; the rest of the collection was made up by individual workers, PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 19.— Stump, socialist mayor of Reading, |Pa., at an election meeting of the socialist party at Pitt theatre, Pitts- burgh, Sunday afternoon, shouted violently from the platform ‘to his committees, “call the cops.” This was a sort of a reply to questions |pyt by workers in the audience to |him “what he did for the unem- ployed in Reading,” why his com- rade, the mayor of . Milwaukee clubbed the workers at the unem- ployment demonstration and jailed many, why he doesn’t protest lynch- ings and race discrimination, why he permits evictions of unemployed in Reading. The “embarrassing” questions were thrown at him from workers in various corners of the hall and on the top of all this came a flood of Vote Communist leaflets from the baleony and the side isles.
