Walker Tries Trick. Walker came to life once, when Smith scored the practice of the city capital and of employers’ collections of re- lief funds from those still having jobs, and who have to contribute “voluntary” or face discharge or per- secution. Walker loudly cried that nobody was forced, and in the next breath admitted that “‘the lowest paid workers contributed most. Smith in- med him that the Communist Party has its information from just | those lowest paid workers, and knows y are forced. Walker sought then to draw the ar- off into a maze of recrimi- and Smith reminded him he was evading the subject, which was unemployment relief, and went on with the pros Walker when th item was reached am, stopping to remind police appropriation t e police are strike-breakers, c! and last “clubbed b the yea the mayor's orders, mercilessly a delegation of d in this very room.” nothi except Id be more, ef taken up in “e: ve session,” that is, in secret.

But these starving workers will not ac- cept y evasions or be stopped by your rudeness. y will organize and demonstrate and fight on for the right to live.” She described the mis- of the school children, of whom it was admitted before the crisis that there are 50,000 going to classes hun- gry every day in New York, and many more now. “Socialists” For Taxes. A lawyer, representing the “social- party got up and argued for more taxes for subway maintenance. He said nothing about the jobless. What’s On— FRIDAY unemployed, | | Walker had previously told a prop- erty owner arguing for less taxes that: “We send the people into the crowded subways to breathe bad air merely as a protection to the property owners, We know they would like | other means of transportation bet- | ter. So you ought to be glad to pay for subways.” Must Fight On. The net result of the argument was that the board of estimates and the Tammany graft machine intends to | do not one thing for the million | starving jobless in New York this | winter. The unemployed will answer this callous indifference by the Tam- many grafters and the big business men who own them with organiza- tion and demonstration, with such a demand for food and clothing and | shelter. that their demands must be | met, They will take part in the Na- | tional Hunger March on Washing- ton, December 7, to demand that Congress provide unemployment in- surance, but meanwhile they will in- sist that the wealthy city of New York does not starve them to death as it intends to do now, Van Veen told the board of esti- mate plainly that they will also see the’ workers’ resentment toward their Policies in the election vote.

It shows the de- velopment of industry, where many of the largest plants in Europe are being built and a modern, industrial- ized nation being hewn out of one of the mos® backward agrarian lands in Europe. In agriculture one may see on the screen the organization of huge state and collective farms, which have made mor progress in the past yars than in the preceding 200 years, This film is accompanied by a lec- ture in English, which gives the back- ground and significance of the var- ious phases of the Five Year Plan shown on the screen. gates on Saturday at 10 a.m, at Pier | speak in Ossining, N.
