Judge Bondy in.his decision points} out that charges against. Serio were that he advocates the overthrow of the government by force but nowhere in his decision does this federal judge! take into consideration Serio’s reply to these charges. The judge admits that the “Department of Labor on| many occasions has issued warrants deportation giving the aliens the yilege of departing voluntarily to ty of their choice” but does state why in this case the Wash- | mm authorities are refusing Serio his right. Although this federal judge admits | at Serio was denied counsel while | ¢ was being interrogated by govern- at officials and that the Interna- al Labor Defense lawyer was not itted to be there till the final ing, still according to Judge Bondy ‘this did not render the pro- ceedings unfair.” The International Labor Defense points out that all the lying evidence against him was introduced at these first hearings and since his English is not very good the Department of Labor took advantage of this fact and misinterpreted various statements of | his. Serio was arrested last May while | Speaking at an anti-fascist meeting in Erie, Pa. His propaganda work the Fascists against the black shirts has been g class leader and/| very effective, and while still living | in Italy he was persecuted by the Mussolini government and often beat- en, given the castor oil to flee that country and came to the United States where he continued his militant activity and was once more haunted by the boss class govern- ments of both the United States and Ttaly. In the evidence produced by the} Department of Labor against Serio it was stressed that he attacked vi:!ous- ly the Pope for his campaign against the Soviet Union The International Labor Defense in its statement calls “upon all workers to come to the immediate defense of Serio and save this working class leader from death at the hands of the black shirts. His case will now be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, but only mass protests and mass demonstra- tions can the capitalist class of Amer- ica be forced to release Serio. We call for immediate action upon ail working class organizations and their sympathizers or as this decision in- dicates all Communist Party members of foreign birth will face the same fate as Serio.” HILTMAN, BOSSES ‘USE NEW SWINDLE |Fake Insurance Bill for militant ~~ the States NEW YORK.—In addition to the A. F. of L. right about face and de- cision to put forth a fake insurance bill of its own roviding McGrady’s proposal is accepted) various capi- | talist agencies continue to offer their | own fake insurance schemes to the Jobless. Yesterday the “American Associa- tion for Labor Legislation” an- nounced that it was submitting an | insurance bill to 28 state legislatures to provide 13 weeks of part-wage payments during crises, This wil] not help the workers in the present dis- aster, of course, but it may soothe them a little. The misleaders who took part in drawing up this bill in- clude beo Wollman of the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers; his big boss, Sydney Hillman; some univer- sity professors, including John R. Commons; Draper of Hills Bros., and Leeds of Leeds & Northrup. News from Washington states. that ‘Wagner is again proposing his bill for | relief after the holiday recess of con- gress. The bill provides practically no insurance, and that little to be administered by the states and fed- eral government, to insure strike- breaking and lower wages.

From a job of slugging unemployed workers on the streets of New York he is now in a new racket, as a fixer of football games ‘to “reli si | ployment. Whalen’s first attempt at | this racket took place on Dec. 14, ; When he organized a football game | between the Army and Navy Acad- | lemy football teams. The proceeds of this game were “supposed” to go to | | the unemployed. We doubt it! Wh; | Take a look at this. The New Yorl | Times quotes: “ | would go to the Salvation Army Fund for unempioyment. Most of it (not | this) would be used to relieve con- | ditions here in the wity.” All the “friends” of labor were at | the football game through “pity” for | the starving unemployed. Note the | list of honor guests. At the head of | the list no other than himself) | Hamilton Fish, government investiga- | tor of working-class activities in the U. S. and author of anti-labor laws! | Next comes Mayor Walker, who needs | no introduction to the unemployed workers. He introduced himself at the City Hall when he slugged the | unemployed delegation. Others who have in one way or another used their positions against the workers ; were: Secretary of Navy, Charles | Francis; Secretary of War, Patrick | Hurley, and a score of other military | leaders who are part of the interna- j tional military conspirators to crush | the workers’ republic of the Soviet | Union and active strike-breakers in colonial countries and also here in the United States. Last, but not | least, come the psalm singers collect- ing funds on the streets for them- | selves while the unemployed are dying of starvation. This is just another racket of the | bosses to use sports to distract the attention of the workers from fight- ing for real unemployment relief— the Unemployment Insurance Bill. | The Labor Sports Union has taken jan admirable stand, sports and turning their sports af- fairs to expose the role of bosses’ charity games and calling for the workers to support the fight for the Unemployment Bill. Support the sports of the L. S. U.—the proceeds to go to the Unemployed Councils of the T. U. U. L. to fight for the Un- employed Social Insurance Bill. At- .tend the N. Y.

ORGANIZATIONS RACKING LABOR SPORTS GAMES NEW YORK.—The International Labor Defense, International Workers Order, Workers International Relief, all call on their members and all workers to attend the Labor Sports Union Christmas Soccer games at Dyckman Oval. The games will be the occasion of a rally against capi- talist fake relief throuvh football ames, The proceeds of these Labor Sports Union games go to the coun- |¢ils of unemployed to help organize the jobless for a fieht for insurance and immediate relief. The first soccer game will start at noon, sharp. The Negro workers’ team, “The Pirates,” will play the team of the Bronx Workers Club. At the close of the first game, Amter and Nessin will speak. After that there will be the special exhibition game between the Work- er Soccer Players of Brooklyn and the best workers’ soccer players of New York.

Our in- | stitutions, like the Workers School, | the Daily Worker, etc., are greatly | hampered in their work due to lack of proper offices. The Central office lof the Party has delayed its moving into the new building because of the same reasons. In addition to these difficulties, we are faced daily with heavy taxes and fines under the guise | of various violations, placed upon us by the Tammany Hall Administra- tion who are working in order to destroy our institutions. | In order to overcome these ditfi- culties, we must appeal to all work- ing class organizations to help in the 8-Day Drive authorized by the Cen- tral Committee to help sustain the building. This drive will open with | a banquet January 11th and all units, sections, unions, labor and fraternal organizations are asked to elect two delegates to this banquet to greet the: Central Committee on the occasion of moving into the new building. The organizations are also urged to send jin donations with their delegates. All out of town organizations should send in their donations before the | llth of January; which donations will | be announced at the banquet, Organized Tenants | Stopped Eviction | | BROOKLYN, N. ¥—Through the organized activities of the newly or- | ganized Tenants League and the Un- employed Council of the T.U.U.L., the Detan Realty Co, was forced to stay the eviction of Mrs. Silber, of 58 Moore St., unemployed mother of 2 children. According to information received the Detan Realty Co. has spent quite a large sum of money to keep a de- tachment of police to guard the house during the week. League in actually stopping the evic- tion of Mrs. Silbert is of great sig- nificance and shows now more than ever the importance of strengthening the organization in order to keep up the struggle against the Jandlords at- tacks upon the unemployed. A number of other evictions are up this week that the Tenants League is taking care, This coming Friday eve. at 8 p. m. the Tenants League will have its reg- ular established meeting at 61 Gra- ham Ave, ‘ 48 You CANNOT HELP “TOU_WERE RN THAT F WAY.

F. of L. unions, joined the Downtown Council of Unemployed after its two meetings yesterday—one in front of the fake employment agency run by the city on Lafayette St. and the other of those who marched from the agency to 37 E. Fourth St., head- | quarters of the council. | The Downtown Council is collect- ing an average of about 400 signa- tures daily for the lists demanding passage of the Workers’ Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill. | The council is taking the initiative in organizing a tenants’ league at 149 and 151 Broome 8st. where ghastly conditions prevail. This is a big tenement owned by Backrach Realty Co. The company proposes to raise the rents from $2 to $8 on all tenants. Most of them are out of work, and those that have part time jobs can get only about $10 a week. They can not pay the pres- ent rates. A spontaneous tenants’ strike broke out here two weeks ago, when the rates were announced, and the land- lords are bringing a dispossess case against one family to try and frighten the others. Last year, when & steam heating system was put in, only one radiator for each four rooms, the rent was raised from $5 to $10 on each apart- ment. The toilets are out of order; water seeps through the ceilings in some rooms; plaster is falling in some rooms, and the company refuses to make repairs, A provisional tenants’ league is or- ganized already, @ meeting is being held today on the premises to com- plete organization and elect a com- mittee to present demands to the landlord. The demands include no taise in rents, no evictions and im- mediate re‘stirs. acted upon,” says the league, “we shall refuse to pay rent.” ‘The Downtown Council is planning also demonstrations against the un- pending éviction of @ family with six children, the youngest 3 months old and the oldest 7 years old, at 126 Rivington St. This family will be in court Dec. 26.
