Well, starving is not enough for you yet, so they try to starve you one day and try to throw you out of your home the next day. Are you going to let them do this to you? Altogether, hell, no! Resist Sale of Furniture. There was a constable sale at Riv- erside. The constable conducting the sale was Weidner of the 17th Ward and Constable Wolf. Well, the un- employed workers of Reading num- bering about 25 comrades because the worker who was to be evicted gave us just about half an hour's notice. Therefore we could not wait for the meeting and all of us in the hall went right out. The constable had just started the sale when we arrived. We stopped the sale, saying it was +a public sale and we had the right to buy furniture, to which the constable refused, and called a cop. The cop and the constable went out and called the city hall, thinking that they could scare us with their clubs and bullets. Even the bosses’ papers here in town had to admit that there wasn’t a man in the police depart- ment. They all came out armed, because they are yellow. There were so many dicks around the house it looked like a cops’ con- vention. There were six cops to every worker that was there, still the workers weren't scared. This is to show how brave the cops of Reading are. There was a worker who only weighed about 125 pounds. This worker was standing with the rest of us when the constable gave orders that all furniture that was sold must be moved at once. We had bought the furniture and so this worker and two others were going to take their goods and not let them out of the house because they had given it to the man who occupied the house. One thing they had was a rug which we wanted to take because a cop was standing on it. The cop refused to get off and we pulled one and the cops grabbed this boy. That was the beginning of the fight. Soon there was a crowd of yellow cops that came in the house and tried to push us around tillone worker told the cop that if he pushed him again he would push in his stomach. At any rate the sale did not go on, as the papers stated it did. The worker still has his furniture and the workers did not leave until they saw he had it. This is the story of one case. There will be more fighting to be done. We had four arrested, but we formed a committee of a hun- dred and made the constable take back the charges by picketing his house. The socialist party betrays the workers, so come along workers and fight like hell for your rights and join the unemployed council. Show the so-called socialists that you have ted blood, not yellow. —Worcorr 12. New York Father and Six Children Evicted New York City. Daily Worker. Starve the workers, is the slogan of this country’s improvement. I have six children, and am dying of hunger, though I have put my life for this country, as thousands of others. On March 9 we were put out of the house. I went to ask the Wal- ker Commission for rent, and they answered, get out. The charity an- swered: “You get out!” My wife asked the schools for something, and they said they don’t care if we are on the street. She got the same answer from the police. I went to a Swedish minister, Dr. Stolpe, to ask him for $25 for rent. Though he had a big belly, he gave me one dollar only, and told me to come back at 5 p.m. At 5 p. m., he didn’t have anything for me. Anyway, some colored people got my furniture with a wagon, and got me some shelter They are brave people. —G. A. Clarkston, Mich. Jobless Organize for Relief Clarkston, Mich. Comrades: We have an Unemployed Council here and it is bursting trying to grow. We are hampered by the lack of leadership.

The General Motors are working, but they seem to be laying off two and three hundred every little while. But I think they also hire.

TWW Opens Kitchen As New York, N. Y. Daily Worker:— The latest slogan of the I. W. W. is I Will Work for the Interest of the Boss Class. The I. W. W. has just recently opened a soup kitchen at East 10th Street. They are attempting to or- ganize a bumming squad as they call it to feed the unemployed workers. By going around to the hall and list- ening to their speeches, this is how we workers can interpret what they mean, “Fellow workers, we the I. W.

Frackville, Pa, Daily Worker: ‘The bosses of the H. D. Boy Shirt Co. with the aid of the police are trying to stop the Young Workers from selling Daily Workers in front of the factories. A few weeks ago a young worker was stopped by the Boss, Mr. Peters and an agent from the police. They started to question him. The boss wanted to know who had given the information to the Daily concerning the conditions in the shop. They also asked a couple of stupid ques- tions such as what flag we believed in, ete. The worker refused to be intimidated despite the offerings of the boss and the police who prom- ised the young worker a job, and try to tell him lies about the Communist Party.

Throughout the states of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin, branches of the I. L. D. and other working class organizations sent tele- grams to the governor demanding Bassett’s release. Due to this mass pressure Governor LaFollette was obliged to pardon Bassett but the “socialist” adminis- tration of Milwaukee plan to keep him in jail for another year. As Bas- sett left the jail on April 7th a sher- iff served a new warrant on the charge of “assault with intent to do bodily harm.” This charge carries a sentence of one to three years. The I. L. D. immediately called on the workers of Milwaukee to protest against this new frame-up of Bas- sett and over two hundred workers came to the court to greet Bassett with loud cheers. Two attorneys from the I. L. D. were in court to defend him. The state’s attorney demanded a bond of $500 but the I. L. D. attor- neys secured his release on his own signature. The trial will be held on April 29th. On April 24th the Milwaukee I. L, D. will hold a mass meeting at which the Milwaukee workers will greet Bassett and show their determination to fight against this new attempt to imprison him, All workers are urged to attend this meeting to be held at the Columbia Theatre, 1025 Walnut Street, April 24th, 8 p. m. 1931 CALENDAR FREE!

In the General Cigar, D. F. Kline, | Johnson & Johnson, Needle Trades and Unger Box and other factories employing women the conditions are unbearable. The women get wages |of betwen $8 and 10 a week, in a few cases a little more. Most of these women are the sole support of their families. In the General Cigar factory, where many women and young girls work, the health of the workers is ruined. Workers faint every day in the shop. With a few years’ work in the General Cigar the workers get consumption and other diseases, The bosses themselves admit that 60 per cent of the workers in New Brunswick are women, The women workers are forced to do the work done before by men for half the wages. On account of such condi- tions the men workers are forced to work for lower and lower wages, be- ing always told by the bosses that “We can get women to do your work for lower wages.” The only solution for the workers is for both men and women to unite in the fight against wae-cuts, demanding that women workers get equal pay as men for doing equal work. All candidates for Commissioners except the Commu- nist candidates ignore the conditions of the women workers in this elec- tion, In order to learn how to fight these conditions all workers must attend the election rallies held each week at the corner of New and French Sts. Two workers’ candidates for City Commissioners, one woman a cigar worker and one man worker, have already filed petitions for this office. These workers are endorsed by the Communist Party and are pledged to carry out the program of the Com- munist Party, which include among its demands the following: 1, Immediate unemployment re- lief. 2. Equal pay for equal work for all workers, 3. Special protection for women workers in the shop. 4, Free milk and food in school for the children of the unemployed, 5, Lower rents. 6.

(Note: The above resolution was undoubtedly passed by the forst of mass pressure. The Independent La- bor Party, while in words appears to | the workers as being against war on the Soviet Union, in deeds supports all of the vicious policies of the Mac- Donald government, preparing for the coming war, and murdering the Indian masses who fight against British imperialism.) 1,300 DEMAND KASSAY RELEASE Denounce Alabama Legal Lynching CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 13.—A militant meeting was held here last night under the auspices of the In- ternational Labor Defense, to protest, the arrest of Paul Kassay, a Hun- garian worker, who was framed up by the Rubber barons of Akron, Ohio to facilitate their wage cuts in the mills. Over 1,300 workers cheered the speakers, and stood up for several minutes greeting Kassay as he rose to speak. All workers joined in the singing of the International. A resolution condemning this latest frame up on a foreign born worker and demanded his immediate and un- conditional release was unanimously adopted. The workers pledged them- selves to carry on a struggle for the repeal of the criminal syndicalist law which is a menace to organized labor, and to participate in the campaign to secure signatures on the petition lists to demand amnesty for all work- ers imprisoned. Support was pledged to the May Day demonstrations against the boss hunger system. An- other resolution was adopted con- demning lynching and demanding the death penalty for the lynchers. Copy of these resolutions were sent to the authorities. A wire was sent to comrade William Montgomery Brown, wishing for him speedy recovery so that he could in the near future participate in work- ing class activities. Despite the terrible unemployment. situation that is existing in this city, the workers at the meeting donated to the Kassay case $151.85 which is an indication that they will continue to not only make financial sacrifices, but that they will organize and si all the terror of the boss class.

BOSSES HIRE FLOGGERS IN FLA Flourishing B usiness Back of Brutality CLEARWATER, Fla., April 7.— Sheriff Roy Booth claims to be in connects some of the big bosses of West Florida with the wave of flog- gings and unsolved slayings which have recently taken place. The sheriff contends that profes- sional floggers were for hire by any one who had the price. The alleged investigation which brought into light the evidence took place after R. W. Oxford, an automobile mechanic, had been whipped almost to death be- tack of the bosses upon the stand- ards of living of the workers. But undoubtedly the sheriff would never have carried forward his in- plicated had been behind him. Such investigations take place only when the pressure of the masses growing more and more restless under in- creasing exploitation and oppression forces it, or when there is a “falling out” among the leading capitalist politicians and their henchmen. This investigation will not bring an end to lynching, floggings, and mur- ders in Florida or elsewhere. That end is obtainable only upon an in- vestigation carried forward by the workers and their revolutionary lead- ership. The greatest sufferers are, of course, the degraded and inhumanly exploited Negro workers.
