EMERGENCY FUND To Fight Eviction of Jobless Brooklyn Worker, Dec. 24th (By a Worker Correspondent.) BROOKLYN, N. Y.—The ten- ants of 544 Dumont Ave. and neighborhood will hold a mass demonstration on Wednesday, Dec, 24, at 3 o'clock sharp, at the build- ing. This demonstration is to stop the eviction of a worker whom the court ordered to move. This house is owned by a bank corporation. The worker, a laundry driver, is out of work 9 months. He and his family are starving. They haven't got the means to buy bread and milk for the children. Last Tuesday the case came up in one of the Brooklyn courts and the judge ordered them to move on Dec, 26. We call upon all workers’ clubs, women’s councils, Party and League members to take part in this demonstration. OREGON BOSSES TTACK SOVIE Try Whip Up War Frenzy on USSR (By a Worker Correspondent.) PORTLAND, Ore.—Oregon bosses lave opened a vicious attack on the Seviet Union in their official organ, the Oregonian, with an “exclusive” account of an escaped prisoner who tells the “blood price” of lumber costs SAN LEANDRO, CAL. JOBLESS LIVE IN IMPROVISED HUTS | Factories Closing and | Jobless Starve | (By a Worker Correspondent) OAKLAND, Cal.—San Leandro, ad- | joining Oakland, is considered a | beauty spot where no slums do exist. Here the air is better, the fog less |frequent and more sunshine. But | here the unemployment is just as bad. | |The canneries are closed, factories | | running with reduced forces, others ‘on short time. | Sleep Everywhere. Many homeless unemployed work- ers are roaming the town and fields. The bay shore is dotted with such homeless. Some stay on the sand in improvised tents of sacks and rags, others sleep in their old machines. These wanderers do not stay long in one place, but are ever seeking for something to do, necessatating moving to different parts each night. But there are many others. In the | back of the great Caterpillar Tractor factory which is working with greatly reduced forces now, since the con- tract with the Soviet Union has ex- pired, in the gully, near the rail-/ road tracks, overgrown with trees and shfubs is a colony of the unemployed. | This is an established colony for a | longer duration. Here some have built little shacks. They are window- | less, yet are homes—a shelter from | | meetings to be held throughout the | NEW YORK.—The drive to or- | ganize the jobless for relief and in- surance, to get signatures for the | | Workers’ Unemployment Insurance | | Bill, to organize local united front | conferences of workers’ organizations, which will formulate the demands | of the jobless and fight for local re- | lief, was described at a recent meet- | ing of the National Committee for | Unemployment Insurance by its sec- | retary, Alfred Wagenknecht. He said, | in part: “The workers’ mass delegation is scheduled to go to Washington, D. C., about the first week in February, to | place before Congress the million or more signatures collected and the} thousands of endorsements of the | bill by national and local workers’ organizations. This mass delegation | will be constituted by having city | campaign committees propose Henin | inations and then having the dele- gates elected at the immense mass country during the last two weeks in | January. The number of delegates to be elected by each large city will be decided by the National Campaign Committee. Smaller cities in the} East and all cities in the West should elect a delegate if funds can be pro- vided to send him. Organize Unemployed Councils. Industrial and neighborhood un- | employed councils have increased in | number during the recent period. Generally speaking, the number of unemployed workers organized into councils is much too small, the com- mittee found. The work of organ- | izing councils must proceed more | rapidly and especially in the factory | towns, mining camps, smaller indus- | trial centers. With a steady and sus- tained struggle for immediate local relief closely connected with the cam- paign for signatures for the bill, un- | |rainy season which is on in Califor- | nia now. Some are built of old tins, | employed councils will be strength- | ened and many new councils can be National Jobless Committee Stresses Forming of Councils be worked out by the T. U. U. L. leagues and unions so that industrial councils can be established. Too little attention is still being | given to sending committees from the | unemployed councils to the bread lines, flop houses, points where capi- talist charity is being distributed, to job agencies, in order to expose the fake relief programs of the bosses | and their government and to win} these workers for our councils and our immediate demands. It should | be an immediate task of all our city | campaign committees to secure dele- | gates from the workers on the bread | lines, in the sleeping places, etc., as | an integral part of our city campaign committees. Upon the basis of winr ning these workers for our immedi- ate local demands we can activize thousands of them in the signature drive. Mobilize to Collect Signatures. Signature lists must be given, not | only to workers we know, but to every new worker we can reach. At) mass meetings of any kind, signa- | ture blanks must be on hand, signa- tures obtained and all workers asked to take a list and help collect signa- | tures. We must press into all shops and mills with the lists. We must request every workers’ organization, | whether mutual aid, fraternal, sports, Negro, A. F. of L. to elect signature collection committees which must ac- tivize all members in the organiza- tion in collections. Whenever a worker signs a list in endorsement | of our proposed Unemployment In- | surance Bill, we must request him to take a list and collect among other workers. Only by activizing many thousands i of workers in this campaign for sig- | natures, strengthened by sustained | struggles for immediate local relief, | can we hope to create a real mass | demand for unemployment insurance. | Workers’ organizations that are not | INTERNATIONAL COCUA GROWERS Indian Mass Will | | Fight on in Spite of BREAKS WINDOWS in the U.
