The conference is called for the purpose of formulating demands and electing a mass delegation to present these demands to the fake unemployment conference called by the Emerson Committee. This latter conference is called for Aug. 17. It is a gesture on the part of the bosses in their efforts to pla- cate the intense indignation of the working class against the police Massacre of unemployed workers on Aug. 3. AM trade unions and other work- ing-class organizations. branches of the Unemployed Councils, workers in the shops, organized and unorganized, are urged to elect delegates to the Ang. 16 confer- ence called by the Unemployed Council. The conference will be held in the People’s Auditorium, 2457 W. Chicago Ave, It will open at 10 am. DETROIT, Aug. 12.—Detroit work- ers are thoroughly aroused by the police massacre of Chicago unem- ployed workers on Aug. 3. In that massacre four Negro workers were led and scores of Negro and white workers wounded when police fired directly into a crowd of men, women and children demonstrating against the eviction of an aged Negro woman worker. The massacre was ordered by the city government following a meeting of landlords and real estate agents. This meeting demnded dras- tie police action against the workers resisting the eviction of unemployed workers and their families. Repre- sentatives of the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People and of the Chicago Defender took part in this meeting and share the responsibility of the landlords and the city government for the mass murder of unemployed workers. A number of mass protest meet- ings have been held in Detroit, the workers militaritly expressing their | to every ISCORE SELL | | OUT OF UTW- (CONTINUED FRUM VAGE ONE called settlemer until he read 0! the G.G.G. shop the UTW-As- | iated called this shop settled and} is what the boss did.

In the meantime, the NTWU is no. Sleeping in the face of fake settle- ments of the UTW-Associated. A the G.G.G. shop a picket line was immediately thrown around the shop. The chairman of the NTWU settlement committee went with the three discriminated workers to the settlement committee of the UTW and demanded that the settlement be a real one. In the meantime, the workers were taken out of the shop again and the shop will be picketed again in the morning and the work- ers kept out until a genuine settle- ment is reached. The NTWU is determined to pull out every shop that is forced back on a fake settlement. Miner Greets Textile Strikers. At the mass meeting this morn- ing a tremendous sensation was caused by the appearance of a strik- ing miner bringing the greetings of his fellow fighters to the fighting textile workers of Paterson. He told of the growth of the National Min- ers Union and told how the fight was being successfully conducted under the militant leadership of that revolutionary union which is affili- ated to the same central organ, the Trade Union Unity League, as the NTWU. He deseribed how essential mili- tant and fearless picketing is to their fight and to that of the textile workers of Paterson and how only @ courageous fight against the police only indignation agd@inst these murderous attacks on the starving unemployed masses of Chicago. A huge protest demonstration will be held here this evening in. front of the city hall. The demonstration will protest against the Chicago massacres, against the boss terror against the Negro workers of Bir- mingham, Alabama, against the kid- napping of working-class speakers in Grand Rapids by the fascist, Ameri- can Legion, against the arrest of working-class speakers in Pontiac; and the mass arrest of workers in Detroit in the fight against evietions.
