Session NEW YORK—Five hundred and thirty-seven delegates of workers and unemployed. workers’ organizations packed into Stuyvesant Casino yes- terday in an enthusiastic City Labor Conference on the fight for unem- ployment insurance and immediate relief. The conference was called by th Unemployed Councils of New York. Tt elected an executive committee to carry on work until another confer- ence meets. It elected 175 delegates from among the many nominated by the organizations represented to go with 125 more from other parts of New York district and stil? 1,200 more from other cities to Washington 0 tell Congress on Dec. 7 that the workers and jobless workers of this country want unemployment insur- ance and relief. A feature of the session was the appearance of 30 delegates, includ- ing representatives of four A. F. of L. loeal unions, of New Rochelle and vicinity. This delegation has hired a hall in New Rochelle to hold a City Labor Conference there. The police barred them from their hall and refused to let them hold a meet- ing on Sunday unless they could get consent of the mayor. And the mayor had left town. This delega- ion joined forces with the New York Sity Labor Conference and met with Many Organizations. The 537 delegates represented 13 locals of A. F. of L. unions, 16 Un- employed Council branches, 24 Trade Union Unity League unions and eagues, 14 International Labor De- ‘ense branches, 4 Workers’ Interna- onal Relief branches, 2 Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League branches; 3 League of Struggle for Negro Rights branches, 12 Working Women’s uncils, 55 branches of the Inter- national Workers’ Order, 11 union shop committees. There were 12 delegates from mass meetings and open hearings. There were ten dele- gates from other organizations. A squad of Red Front Fighters in uniform acted as ushers and messen- gers. The sessions were held in a hall decorated with big placards giving the demands for unemployment in- surance, $150 and $50 more for each dependent as winter relief, no evic- tions, no war on the Soviet Union, ete. Blast Fake “Relief” Stunts. Carl Winter, secretary of the Un- employed Councils of New York, was elected chairman an dmade the main report, with Solomon of the Bronx Unemployed Council acting as secre- tary. Winter's report was a scathing ex- posure of the misery and starvation of the million jobless workers in New York and of teh complete failure of any adequate relief. He analyzed the city budget, contrasting the $200,- 000,000 handed over to bondholders with the $15,000,000 given to charity —not even given directly to the job- less. The meeting adopted a resolution giving figures to show 50 and 60 per cent unemployment in many trades, and the prevalence of the stagger system, part time, speed-up and wag-cuts for those still working. The total relief given so far in the three years of the crisis is only 3% per cent of what even capitalist health experts declare is necessary to live on. The resolution points out that all intended to be raised in New York by city and private agencies for r2- lief is $30,000,000, which is enough for two weeks only if adequate relief s; Program Adopted to the jobless. The resolution tells of the police | brutality against meetings and dele- gations of the unemployed. It scores the cutting of the already low wages of workers under the guise of iollect- ing relief. It calls for mass pressure to force granting of relief Demands. The conference adopted a fell set of 12 demands, including: unemploy- ment insurance equal to full wages, winter relief (as stated above), public works such as would be useful to the workers (new workers’ homes, parks and playgrounds in working-class | sections, etc.), free carfare, food and clothing for workers’ children, etc. tional Hunger March and instructed its executive to work for it in every possible way. It endorsed the dem- | onstration Monday before the board | of aldermen. It outlined a plan of | organization of neighborhood branches | | of the Unemployed Councils, block | committees, section committees and | committees at flop-houses, bread- | lines and employment agencies.

The following organizational propo- sals were contained in the resolution rendered by the workers jury: “The immediate election of a large committee of unemployed and em- ployed workers to carry on the strug- gle for immediate relief and lay the basis for the organization of strong neighborhood branches of the Unem- ployed Council.

Of the thirty members, ten have already applied for admission to the Communist Party, the rest joining the Interna- tional Labor Defense and the Trade Union Unity League. The workers who have taken this step joined the Proletarian Party thinking that it was an active fighter in the class struggle, Instead they found a sect which was opposed to political activity and relied on spon- taneity. The last convention of the Proletarian Party decided that while the Communist International should be supported, its American section must not.

One woman reported that she has been completely out of work for about two months. The “C. O. S.” has used many technical reasons to refuse aid to her. When forced by the British Council to pay a half month’s rent, so that she would not be put out on the street, the C.O.S. paid this rent} but has blacklisted her so that she} cannot Yeceive any relief any more | | The Police and the Sal- | vation Army refuse help too. Though she could get affidavits that she has | to support three children, they would not bother with them, and when she told them money was being used for | sraft instead of helping the workers, they threw her out entirely. A man out of work for 145 years was told by the Democratic officials to vote for the Democrats and he | would get a job. He belonged to sev- eral Democratic clubs, but they did not do a thing for him, couldn’t even get the job on election day to make the $5 they said he would get. A New Recruit The following letter was read to the hearing, as a message from a worker who has been helped in an eviction case: | “Dear Comrades: — Thanking you | for relief on my case Tuesday night.

Maify of them realized that they must remain members of the unemployed council in order to fight for imme- diate relief, and for an unemploy- ment insurance. The Hearing made arrangements to meet on 134th St. | and Lenov Ave. today to go down in a body to city hall and demand that some of the $631,000,000 budget be jturned over for unemployed relief, | |and that each unemployed worker be given $150 for winter, pending the passage of the unemployment insur- ance bill.

(Delayed).—One hundred and fifty miners of the Standard Elkhorn Coal Co. came out on strike Nov. 17 in a solid body. | The company was trying to put over @ wage-cut on the already starving miners, A mass meeting was held Monday, Noy. 16, and a Strike Relief Commit- tee was elected to immediately be- gin collecting relief. Many small business men are donating as high as $10 each towards relief. All told, this looks like one of the best strikes in Kentucky. Miners Put Demands. The miners’ demands are: Remoyal of the wage-cut amounting to 15 per cent of more; recognition of the mine committee, 8-hour day and pay for all overtime, no discrimination, re- duction in house rent in proportion to compensation for labor. The company, seeing the strong strike movement, declared a lockout and ‘said that they were closing down for good, which is all rot and bluff. Local citizens show sympathy with the strikers. ‘The miners in the other mines (ir the county) are on the verge of strik- ing also, and are watching this strike toward that end. The relief commit- tee of these miners sent greetings to all striking miners who are waging @ war against starvation, and ap- peals for help to all their sympa- thetic friends for immediate relief One way to help the Soviet Unies is to spread among the workers “Soviet ‘Forced Labor’,” by Max Bedacht, 10 cents per copy.
