The workers must fight the whole capi- talist system,” declared all the speakers, amidst great enthusiasm. The hall was filling up with wor- ers marching from the shops as early as 6 p.m. It was half full at even, and singing, cheering and en- siasm prevailed as the workers pointed out to each other the flam- ing slogans on the walls: “Vote for the Working Class Against Capital- ism,” “Organize and Strike Against Wage Cuts,” “Mass Violation Will Smash the Injunctions and Stop Evictions,” “Hail the Communist In- ternational,” “For the Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill—Vote Red,” “60,000 More Readers For the Daily Worker.” Police (horse, foot, gas end ma- chine gun service) were massed around the building, a complete cordon. | Sam Nessin, who was speaking in the board of estimates meeting when Walker threw down his gavel | and ordered the beating, entered about 7:45, and was cheered wildly. Foster and Amter arrived a few minutes later and received the same ovation, the cheering being re- doubled when the three took their | seats on the platform. By this time there were fully 18,000 present, with more coming in continually. “Don’t starve, fight! Hoover’s hunger commission is a_ fake! Hoover’s building program flopped, and will flop: again. Hoover's latest proposal, to stagger workers on the jobs, is a boss attack against the standard of living of the whole working class and will reduce their standard of living one-third,” said | Foster, and continued: | “Hundreds of thousands are eat- ing out of garbage pails now, and this winter, 8,000,000 face starva- tion. “Workers must organize for a tremendous fight for unemployment insurance. Those who have fought under Communist Party leadership meet with clubbing as Nessin did last week. Or they are imprisoned like Harry Raymond, the worker who is in prison for ten months for representing the unemployed, while Connoly, the Queensborough graft- ing president, lives a luxurious life in jail and will soon be out. “The A. F. L. convention was not only a mobilization for the bosses against unemployment insurance, but was also to put through Hoov- er’s wage cut plan which he now announces, “Vote Communist—fight on!” Amter particularly attacked the socialist party as real social fas- cists throughout the world. Only the Communist Party leads the fight for social insurance and against wage cuts. “In the 10 days left before elec- tion day,” said Amter, “we must go into the shops and factories, and organize the workers to vote Com- munist and to fight against wage cuts.” Minor’s letter, read by Max Be- dacht, pointed out turmoil and de- cay in capitalism, with the working class rising to ever more determined struggles, and with the Communist Party the vanguard always.

Especially when during the election campaign he made all | kinds of promises that he would always be ready to listen to the problems of the unemployed work- ers and help them as much as pos- sible, For the first few weeks, many jobless and hungry workers went to his office to let the mayor know about the miserable life they were living and demanded concrete help. The first week, his secretary lis- tened to all these problems, and with fake promises tried to quiet the workers seething with resent- ment. But as it looks, the honey- moon is passed. The other day the mayor made a statement that he does not want to be bothered with hard luck stories, and that no one will be admitted to the mayor's of- fice with these “small and little” things. These “small and little” things mean life or death to 200,000 job- less workers in the city of Detroit. Of course, Mayor Murphy has much bigger things to accomplish in serv- ing the interests of the auto bosses in the city of Detroit. The unem- ployed workers are talking very much about this statement of the mayor’s, and re beginning to see things in a true light. The demo~ stration, on Friday, October 24th, will voice their protests against these fake promises, and the pro- tests of those workers in Grand Circus Park at 12 noon will demon- strate and show readiness for strug- gle for immediate relief. HATTER WAGE CU STILL A DANGER Conference Flops; All Called to Meet Thurs. NEW YORK.—With the union officers agreed to give the hatters (Local 8—finishers) a wage cut from $3.50 to $3 a dozen, the offi- cers and a committee elected from the shops met yesterday with offi- cers of a big firm, Manson Hat Co. The bosses demanded a cut to $2.75 which the officers did not dare to accept. The danger of the wage cut still persists, however, and the Rank and File Committee of Action, formed last June during the strike, calls all hatters to a mass meeting at Astoria Hall, 62 East Fourth St., tomorrow, right after work to or- ganize a united front against cuts. Perfect Shop Instructs, Members of the committee which by union rules goes with the offi- cers to watch out for betrayals at these conferences were divided. Those from the Frank Hats shop and the Perfect Hat Co. stood out for no reductions at all. Workers of the Perfect Hat Co. held a noon day meeting and adopted the fol- lowing resolution unanimously: “We, instruct our delegate to the conference of the Union and the manufacturers to fight against any attempt to cut our wages, that may be made there by the bosses and the officials of the Union. “And, we also pledge ourselves to when he addressed the in Cleveland and at ihe A.
