The parade began from two sepa~ rate points Tuesday at 2:15 p. m., in answer to the call of the Council of the Unemployed. They carried placards: “Tax the Rich and Feed the Poor,” “We Demand Work or Bread,” “Give Us Milk for the Bebies,” “We Want | | Relief, Not Chari! etc. It is estimated that another 2,000 | ‘venting Post?

New Terror Campaign. A real campaign of terrorism is being incited by the bosses’ press | here. Last Tuesday. the Charlotte | News followed the lead*of the capi-| talist bank examiners and police in| larger cities, and made an attempt to confuse the thousands ruined in the South by the collapse of the | banks in the crisis, turn the thoughts of the jobless away from their own struggle for relief, and} Jay the blame for unemployment and bank failures on “The Reds.” Capi- | talism has led millions of workers | to starvation and doesn’t mean to do | a thing for them, but hopes now to shoulder the blame on those who are | leading the workers, and jobless in | a fight to win back a little of what | bas ben robbed from them. ‘The News used a -front page eal- | torial entitled “Whispering Wreck- | ers,” to claim that the bank failures | were due to Communisis, and wound up with a call for lynching, couched | in these words: “It is time to have done with these | | lB: dirty curs.” The chief of police, according to | the same paper, has given orders to arrest anyone who is. heard to talk | about “our banks and other Amer- {can institutions.” Go On Organizing. In spite of all present and con- templated white terror, the Unem- ployed Council of the Trade Union Unity League will go right aheod or- | ganizing the jobless for ¢ ee abi onstrations. Charlotte jobless are organizing a large delegation to to. Raleigh, when the legislature | meets, Jan. 6, and demand a state | unemploysient relief bill be passed. | Signatures for the Workers’ Ux. employment Insurance Bill are being | collected. The Council of. the Unemployed has called a mass, meeting for to- morrow afternoon at 3 p. m. at their hall, 30 South College St. The meet- ing will vote on demands to be pre- sented to the city.government. The Unemployed Council proposes: 1—Immediate unemployment re- lief of $5 a person.per week and $10 per family, to be paid by the city government. 2—No evictions of the unemployed for non-payment of, rent. 3—Free gas, light and water for the unemployed. 4—Free meals and free carfare for the school children of the unem- ployed. Denver Demonstration. DENVER, Colo.,. Dec. 26—A mass demonstration of 800 jobless here on Monday at 3 p. m, elected a delega- sion of twelve to present demands for immediate relief for the jobless to the city counciJ. Some 250 who marched with the delegation were driven away by the police at the City Hall and marched singing “Soli- darity” and “Hold ‘the Fort” to the headquarters of the Council of the Unemployed, where’ they conducted @ mesting while waiting for the com- mittee to report back. The committee was permitted in, heavily guarded by police, and Chair+ magn Guynn in the 25 minutes al- lowed him told of the misery of the jobless and defended the right of the workers and jobless to adminis- ter all relief becouse of the graft in th city administration. The council- men squirmed, but everybody knows the graft charge is true-~on city work the employees even have to aribe the foremen to get their jobs. Pigeonholed.

The label on the gloves is “Indianapolis” glove company, and the tag has the lovely sweet-sounding slogan: “The \ Workingman is entitled to the best.” Since these gloves are made of very cheap stuff, and since the price is as low as it is, I can just about imagine what the conditions are under which the gloves are made. Yet the company gives out hypo- critical slogan: “The workingman is entitled tothe best,” when without a doubt its own workers are living on starvation wages. On second thought, I am inclined to doubt the existence.of this com- pany. Perhaps they are prison- made, and are being “dumped.” Will the Indianapolis comrades inform us on this? test the, pigeonholing of the de- mands, which are for: 1+-$60,000 for immediate relief from the city treasury. 2--Ten per cent of city incomes to be used as relief funds. 3+-Free lunches at school and free earfare for unemployed workers’ children, 4—No payment of rent, gas, elec- tricity or fuel bills by the jobless. 5—All public buildings and vacant houses to be thrown open to the homeless jobless free of rent. 6—Repeal all vagrancy laws. 7—Referendum vote on the Work- ers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill. 8—Abolition of all private employ- ment agencies. 9—All unemployed relief to be ad- ministered by, a committee elected by the workers.

The National Board of the Trade | Union Unity League, at its meeting‘ just held, outlined the basis of its | assignment of the quotas of delegates |from various cities to form the com- mittee of 131 which will carry the | Workers’ Unemployment Insurance | Bill to Washington, along with the signatures of those who demand its passage. The mass delegation will be in Washington Feb. 9, and Will pre- sent the bill and signatures to con- gress on Feb. 10. While the bill is being presented, all cities will wit- ness big demonstrations of the jobless in favor of it. The quotas of the various districts were based on the number of indus- tries there, and their importance, also on the distance from Washing- ton, which is important because the districts must raise the money for the expensess of the delegates on their trip. The National. Board of the T.U. UL. makes its district boards re- ‘sponsible for the organization of the delegations, and charges them, in |their presentation of their nomina- tions to the second series of united front conferences to see that the most important industries are repre- sented, that a good proportion of |Negro, young and women workers are on the delegations. All delegates will be finally nominated at the united front conferences, second series, and will be voted on for ac- ceptance by great mass meetings of | the unemployed to be held during the first part of January. At the most important of these meetings, William %. Fostser, general secretary of the T.U.U.L., will be the main speaker, Every effort will be made to re- duce the expenses of the delegates: travel by bus instead of train, volun- teered. lodgings and meals by sym- pathizers of the demands of the un- employed, ete. But the districts must begin to hold affairs and raise money by other means for the minimum ex- pense of the delegations.
