CZECH JOBLESS MORILIZE FOR REUTER DEMANDS Follow Red Leadership and Slogans PRAGUE.—Following on the great unemployed workers conference in Pragii¢, local conferéncés have taken place in a number of towns, con- feteticts declared themselves in favor of the Commisist slogans for the formation of a united front between thé uneniployéd and the employera workers to fight for a general tinem- ployment support scheme, winter as- sistance for the unemployed and other demands. Unemployed workers detionstra- tions are taking place all over the country. Yesterday the Prague un- employed demonstrated on the Wen- xel Square under the leadership of | the Commiinist Deputy Krosnar. Further demonstrations occurred in other parts of the town, the unem- | ployed demonstrated together with | over 1,000 workers from the Skoda | factory under the leadership of the Communist deputy, Dvorzhak, despite @ police prohibition. The demon- stration Jasted about 6 hours and constant collisions with the police oécurred. The workers succeeded in freeing a-number of their arrested comredes from the hands of the police. In Pressburg, the capital of Sloy- akia, many hundreds of unemployed workers demonstrated for their de- mands in front of the Town Hall. ‘The demonstration was broken up by @ large force of police. Many unemployed workers’ dem- onstrations are also taking place in the Gettnat-speaking districts where the unemployed workérs movement ts rapidly growing. 150,000 Welsh Miners BRIEFS FROM ALL LANDS WARSAW\- have suppressed the union of porters The Warsaw courts | | and the of | Both these unions were under revolu- tionary leadership. existence was alleged to have rep- resented a threat to “public security. union Their continued VIENNA.—The representatives of the industrialists and of the trade unions came to no agreement in the Vienna District Industrial Commis- sion when the employers’ represen- tatives demanded the cutting down of the unemployment support.
