Page Two — - Army of Cops Beat Up Chicago Jobless Who Demand Relief Negro Worker Severely Slugged When He} Leads Delegation to City Council to Put Forward Propoals for Relief CHICAGO, Nov. 24. — The unem- ployed delegation that went to city hall to present the demands of the unemployed to the city council was| city hall broke up groups of two or| met by the Red Squad, backed up by hundreds of dicks and cops. trance to the council room was com- pletely blocked. Poindexter, Negro leader of the Unemployed Council, was beaten up by seven cops. Other leaders of the delegation were thrown out on the street. Every Unemployed Council hall was filled with squads of police, and at mobilization meetings this morning workers were intimidated. Militant women workers fought the police inside of the city hall, demand- ing the right to put the demands of The en-| ‘the jobless for immediate relief to the city council. | Special police reserves outside of | more workers. Homeless unemployed |from Wacker Drive and other indig- nant unemployed and employed work- ers determined to return thousands strong at another attempt soon to | present the demand of the unemploy- Jed fo: immediate relief to the city council | | hey determined they would smash the hundreds of thousands of Chica- go unemployed. Preparations for another mass dem- onstration has already started. Hospital Workers Staggered A good example of the operation of the stagger system as a means of | relieving unemployment may be ob- tained from its use in Montefiore Hospital which put it into effect yes- terday. This hospital which has about one hundred men doing skilled maintenance work, painting, plaster- ing, plumbing, etc., has put on sev- enty-five new men to do this same work. These new men are to be worked for three days a week. The} married men will get five dollars a day and single men will get two and a half. Although the old force has not been notified as yet they expect to be informed that they will be cut to part-time soon. Tkese men who now get six dollars a day are thus |having their jobs taken over by men getting a dollar less; where they now make thirty-six dollars a week, far less than union wages for this work, they will soon be getting fifteen or even as low as seven and a half per week. This then is the famous “Stag- ger System” by which Hoover and his aides will save the country from ruin. An effort is being made to organ- ize the old employees of the hos- the cut in their pay. Several of them have joined the Trade Union Unity League and are organizing.

The causes of the ever deepening jerisis in the U. S, A., its relation to the general world crisis of capital- ism, the effect of the crisis upon the living standards of the working class, the more and more brutal attempts of the bosses and their labor agents to force the burden of the crisis upon the workers with drastic wage cuts, speed-up, the stagger system, and fascist terror, and the immediate | tasks imposed by the situation upon |the revolutionary labor movement, will be outlined in detail by Com- rade Bedacht. Every class conscious worker should! come prepared to participate in the discussion of this burning question that today affects the bread and very lives of all workers. A number of outstanding leaders! of the Communist and revolutionary labor movement are scheduled to speak at subsequent Forums.

The resolutions point) out that: “The real reason these girls were| convicted was not for ‘desecrating theAmerican flag’ but because the boss class is in terror lest the work- ers’ children be- taught the truth about the bosses and be organized to help the workers in their strug- gles.” ss The Spartacus Club and the Young Defenders have decided to join in a body the International Labor De- fense in order to further support the struggle against the bosses’ justice.

MOVES TO SELL MESS STRIKE Stops Reading Parade; | Orders Secret Vote READING, Pa., Nov. 25. — The United Textile Workers Union sec- tion here, called “Full Fashioned Hos- | iery Workers”, officially called’ off | the strikers’ parade and mass meeting yesterday. This is but the latest of | the strikesbreaking and sell-out maneuvers of the U. T. W. gang. On- | ly the intense indigation of the work- | ers against the threat of more wage cuts after a cut already amounting to about 50 per cent this year caused the U. T. W, to consent to the strike at | all, Every move is made after the| strike call was issued was in the na- ture of leading the workers to re- treat. The U .T. W. allowed no mass picketing, and bargained with the po- lice for a few pickets at each mill, at a harmless distance away. It made no attempt to organize a mass strike committee, nor to prepare for a long struggle. Today the U.T.W. is taking & secret ballot on going back to work. The experience of Elizabethton, Tenn., workers with the U.T.W. shows that they are likely to count the votes in secret too, and announce the strike over wherther it is voted that way or not. The strike is in bad shape due to the misleadership, but could still be won by the strikers taking direct charge, electing their own strike com- mittee, presenting their own demands and mass picketing. Belgium Forced té Back Up on ‘Dumping’ BRUSSELS.—Under pressure from powerful circles whose interests ment measures against Soviet, grain, the Belgian government has now withdrawn its prohibition. The other measures are being maintained, The Communist Party has decided to file an interpellation in the cham- ber. Comrade Jacquemotte will ques- tion the government on the point. At the same time the Communist Party is .co-operating with the Friends of the Soviet Union in a nation-wide campaign of protest. The campaign has been so successful that the socialists have been com- pelled to protest against’ the govern- ment’s action, is 3y6naa Jlevesuuua DR. A. BROWN Dentist 801 Bast 14th St.. Cor.

A meeting was held indoors, in a a small hall, About a hundred workers’ children crowded on the outside. About 60 came into the hall. The meeting proceeded in the usual fashion, when, while one of the com- rades was explaining the need for free lunches, Scalise, an Italian de- tective, with an officer in uniform came in. After listening for some time they left and came back with ten dicks and cops, Then they pro- ceeded to chase the children out, The children however refused to leave. After a time the cops used rough measures and swatted the children over the head. At this some of them left, but a little fellow of about ten years age and 15 girls refused to leave, The troop gathered outside and started boohing the officials. The dicks saw that they couldn't frighten the children so finally left in disgust, BILLION DOLLAR BANK IS FORMED Merger in Wake of 100 Bank Smashes NEW YORK.—In the wake of 100 bank crashes during the past week, a gigantic bank merger is being formed here to involve a billion dol- lars, The banks merging are the Manu- facturers Trust Co., the Bank of the United States, the Public National Bank and Trust Co. and the Inter- | national Trust Co. This makes the new merger the fourth largest bank in New York City. The other large finance-capl- tal groupings are the Chase National | Bank, the National City Bank, the | Guaranty Trust Co. All of these | companies have big holdings in Latin {America and other colonies. The crisis has caused several large bank mergers, and as the financial crisis worsens there is no doubt that other finance-capital monsters will arise. “THE BREAK UP,” NEW SOVIET FILM, WILL OPEN THIS FRIDAY Beginning this Friday the Eighth Street Playhouse will screen the latest Amkino presentation, “The Break Up,” a film of the October Revolution produced in the U. S. 8. R. by Megrabpomfilm, The picture, when first shown at a Workers’ Club at Lublino, caused much animated discussion. The workers liked the picture very much and pointed out its great merit of simplicity and understanding to the average film goes in the city and the country. The message conveyed by the Soviet film was heartily ap- proved in a resolution adopted at the close of the discussion. The resolu- tion emphasized the merit of the picture at a true portrayal of the October Revolution and as an artis- tic accomplishment in the field of Soviet cinema. At the October Camps Club, be- fore the audiefice of Red Army men and officers, following the showing of “The Break Up,” a resolution was adopted approving the film, both on its idealogical and artistic merits. The resolution states, in part: “The director of “The Break Up,” Leo Zamkovoy, gave a convincing, inter- esting, fresh and true rendition ot the October events in the navy. The film hos just that simplicity of state- ment which is needed in a picture calculated on mass audiences. Ar- tistically we regard this film among the best products of the Soviet cinema.” The same enthusiasm was shown by the audiences when shown else- where in the U. S. S. R. The press continued its high praise. Some of the reviewers claimed that “The Break Up” can be ranked with such masterpieces of the Soviet cinema as “Potemkin.” Theatre Guild Productions ELIZABETH, THE QUEEN GUI w. 8. 8:40 52d. Ev: Mats.
