Page Two DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1930 Fake Probe by Welfare Bodies of Wage Cut Thru Job Agency Community Councils Admit Bosses Fire Men at Work to Hire Others ghrow Back A Million In Sops to Victims YORK.—The scandal of em- ing old employes and sup- es with lower paid men secured from the city free em- ployment agency has become so great that the committee on unemployment of the Com: ity Councils of New York has been forced to go through the motions of an investigation. The cer y that this will be a white- washing is indicated by the continued decision to mention no names, The committee at its meeting some days ago heard open admissions of this ation from Frank P. Walsh, chair NEW esterday the investigation was to art. The representatives of the committee are supposed to go to the heads of the big corporations wha are using the city free employment agency as a scab office and ask them polit the new man now and hire the old one back. The scandal is increased by the fact that th loyers known to be using the employment machinery of utting purposes se who with great dis- of generosity contributed funds to relieve the unemployed,” and in the delicate language of the commit- tee, “urged their employes to con- tribute.” means the workers to Th That Cheaper; Rockefellers know by practical experience these companies first forced their employes to pay over part of their low wages to provide funds for the unemployed, and then fired some of them any- way, getting new employes from the stations set up by the very funds the fired workers had donated. New York department stores are among the chief offenders. The two John D. Rockefellers have contributed $1,000,000 to the Emer- gency Employment Committee. The committee members go into ecstasy over this gift, declaring that it will enable the hiring of 4,000 men for $15 a week for over three months. The men hired are supposed to be heads of families, and the families are supposed to live on the $15 a week. This is to get them into the habit of regarding a family income of perhaps $16 a week as munificent wages and to make them good ma- terial to use for wage-cutting if the crisis lightens a little in a year or so. The Rockefellers got their money in ways that have driven oil refinery workers in Bayonne to some of the most desperate strikes known. Long hours and starvation pay piled up the billions from which the two Rockefellers now casually toss a mil- lion to ease the downfall of some of the laborers they may need again.

Police charged them and a dozen battles raged. It seemed as though lynch law had moved to New York in full force, for the doorways on 34th St. were full of plain clothes sluggers who pounced on every Ne- gro worker they saw, “shook him down” dragged him into the door- ways whenever masses of white work- ers were not able to rescue him in time and beat him unmercifully. Here and there white workers, men and women alike, were also beaten up. The tactics of the police were to make no arrests, but heavily armed and in great numbers, to try and™beat some of the workers to death. Workers stunned by their beating, usually administered by a whole squad of dicks and cops, eight or ten against one, lay for minutes on the sidewalk until other workers could rescue them and take them away.

Mass violatt ion “has ‘ttippled court action, as 1s shown by the fact that no arrests at all were reported up to a late hour last night. Police brutality was shown even after the demonstration was over. Police charged into a crowd of women workers marching away from the scene and clubbed them viciously. ‘Negro Worker Unconscious. At latest accounts, William Partin, a Negro member of the Young Com- munist League, was still unconscious from the beating he received. He was pulled into a hallway and jumped on, slugged and clubbed s0 badly he could not walk. He was taken to French Hospital and given first aid, then taken to the Interna- tional Labor Defense office, wheré he lapsed again into unconsciousness. St. All young workers invited.

Williamsburgh: 136 15th Street PATERSON: 206 Market Street PASSAIC: 279 Monroe Street NEWARK: Unemployed Council Hails Support of Labor Sports Union NEW YORK. — The Unemployed Council of Greater New York greets the arrangement of the athletic dem- onstration of the Labor Sports Union which takes place Christmas Day at noon, at Dyckman Oval, Dyckman St. and Broadway. The proceeds of the undertaking are to go towards the organizational fund of the Un- employed Council. Sam Nessin, sec- retary of the Unemployed Councils of Greater New York, states: “This act of solidarity with the unemployed on the part of the Labor Sports Union is not like the one which the hoss class and their politi- cians have arranged for breadlines and soup kitchens. The funds raised through this sports demonstration of the Labor Sports Union will be used to mobilize the employed and the un- employed to fight against evictions for food and clothing for the children of the unemployed and for approp- riations from the city government for the unemployed relief. The Unemployed Council takes this opportunity of calling upon all work- ers to rally to this sports demonstra- tion, and support all organizational wards, “They hit me on the side of the head with a billy and one of them said, ‘Throw the black bastard into the wagon.’” Kicked When He Protests. Isadore’°Farger, a member of an A. F.

L. D. Office, “hisface bleeding badly and sore fromthe cop’s kicks. Al Fastiff, a member of the Food Workers’ Industrial Union, said: “De- tectives grabbed hold of me and pulled me into a doorway, then kicked me and called me a bum and said they would knock me down the sewer.” In the crowd at Pennsylvania sta- tion detectives singled out those they thought had been in the demonstra- tion, ahd with police assistants beat them up right there. Mounted police rode down workers, both here and before ‘the Zelgreen. Many other workers whose names were not se- cured last night were baten up, tram- pld, and clubbed.
