This worker is not getting | any kind of relief from the city and is starving, despite all the promises and talk of the city bosses that no unemployed worker will starve. When a group of workers from the Unemployed Council arrived, some of the furniture was in the street al- ready. Together with the workers in the neighborhood we appealed to the | Negro workers who were employed to | carry the furniture out not to carry the furniture. The Negro workers upon finding out that this was an eyiction and not simply a moying job, as the landlord told them, re- fused to do the dirty work and joined the white workers against the land- | ¢ lords. After that the workers car- vied back the furniture into the house, in spite of the landlord and two cops. Immediately the landlord called for more police and within a short time over 20 police arrived. The workers insisted on the right of the unem- ployed worker to stay in the house, whereupon the police started to Swing their clubs in their usual man- ner driving the workers away. Under the protection of the police the land- lord carried the furniture out him- self, piling it on the city truck, which arrived to take the furniture away. Rather than let the furniture be dumped in the city yard the Unem- ployed Council got an empty flat on the same block and removed the fur- niture there instead. work, where they will be sent gut when he sided with the miners in| district, will lead a discussion on |The other speakers at the dinner yania and Sutter Avenues and end- |B Tnternational Fur Workers’ Union, tatorship of under the mask of a| 9egram of starvation, two police- of the outstanding points @t this Officer H.
