KITCHEN Speed Relief forNeedle Stri cers! kers NEW new militan result of t YORK.—New enthusiasm Ta a manner that was not cated since the first days strike, those workers, after the feed- ing at yesterday noon, went on the picket line, nzing and shouting, with determination to win. These workers were facing actual hunger, since they paid in the industry, making from $7.00 to $10.00 a week on an aver- age. With no experience in union- ism until now, they have showed a militancy that must at all costs be maintained. The Workers International Relief, seeing the great need of these strikers will establish two feedings a day, in the morning and afternoon. A kitchen will also be opened at Bryant Hall, 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue in conjunction with the Women’s Council. It is of utmost importance to show these strikers that their fellow- workers are solidly back of them, supporting their fight for better working and living conditions.

Pamphlet on Social Insurance Added to International List A new pamphiet, “Social Insur- ance,” by Grace Burnham, has just been issued by International Pam- phiets in their 10 cent series. In this little book, social insurance, which is defined as ® measure of security in times of unemployment, sickness, old age and other crises, is for the first time completely treated. Comrade Burnham gnalyzes the need for so- cial insurance, not only in times of unemployment, but in every condj- tion which cuts down the workers’ earning power—accident, maternity, om ity, illness. Each of these is and individually treated. “No complete system of social in- surance can be expected from a capl- talist government,” she says. “But wherever the working class is strong- ly organized on the political front as wel} as in the trade unions it is able to wrest certain concessions.” The situation in the Soviet Union, with its complete system of social insur- nee, ts treated and compared with the situation in capitalist countries. An interesting feature of “Social Insurance” is the treatment of the fight against worker-administered social insurance from capitalist sources not only because of the added strength thereby given the working class, but because of the huge profits of the insurance com- panies, whose method of giving mini- of ‘This pamphlet may be obtained from bookstores, unions, of the Work- ers Library Publishers, 50 East 13th Street, New York, who will also be gled to furnish a list of other pam- phiets and books of interest to work- ers.

COPS MURDER NEGRO LAD OF 14 were the lowest | CHICAGO, March 1.—Tom Bar-| nett, a Negro lad of 14 years, is the third victim of police terrorism on the south side of Chicago. Last | week, a police squad brutally _mur- dered him by loading him with bul- | lets. from sawed off shotguns. A grocery store was robbed by | workers in the poverty stricken south side. Barnett, employed in the store, |was given a gun and told the “get the robbers” by the store owner. He gave chase and got one-half a block away when a police car rushed on the scene. They opened fire on the boy in spite of the fact that he stop- ped running when he heard the siren of the squad car. They made no at- tempt to find out Barnett’s iden- tity. The policy of “shoot and ask questions later” took another life. The republican machine of Chicago knows that mass unemployment will lead many workers to steel in order to live. The Chicago political ma- chine allows for wholesale graft. ‘They overlook the shooting of by- | standers by the rival gangs with | whom the city officials are intimate. But the stealing of a loaf of bread is a crime that must be answered with death. The police vere com- pletely whitewashed at the coroner’s inquest. Barnett was the sole support of his family. He left school at the age of 14 and went to work. By his work, he supported a mother, father who was hurt in his shop, and two younger brothers. The family is des- titute. The city doesn't make even a fake pretense the ald the family. They want to forget the incident as they forgot the murder of Mason, a Communist worker and Gray, an un- employed worker. The Youn ogCmmunist League League and Communist Party of Chicago have arranged for a mass protest meeting to demand arrest of the police as murderers.

The Trade Union Unity League sent its representatives to Michigan City to help the workers lead the strike against wage-cuts.
