The “Give A Million Jobs” cam- | paign is fairly well discredited, but the propaganda part of it, which is the most important, must be still further exposed. Of the most basic importance now is the systematic organization of Block Committees of unemployed in opposition to the spy, suppression, hunger and war policy of the “Block- Aid” committees of the Hoover-Gib- son Emergency Relief organization to carry the fight, under the banner of the Unemployed Councils, for im- mediate cash relief and Workers’ Un- employment Insurance into every in~ dustrial center with the backing of solid phalanxes of organized work- ers, Immediate cash relief distributed by Workers’ Committees—millions of signatures for the Workers’ Unem- Ployment Insurance Bill!

Police, failing in their attempt to break up the demonstration at the point of assembly, State and Ohio Streets, savagely attacked the workers when | they appeared before the Japanese Consulato in the ‘Tribune ‘Tower building on Michigan Avenue. The United States imperialists condone the crimes of the Japanese imperial- ists against the Chinese masses, and add a new list to their own crimes against the American working-class. Handreds of the police watch- dogs of imperialism charged the demonstrators, on horses, motor- cycles, automobiles and foot, shoot ing at the workers, clubbing and riding down men, women and chil- dren, The workers defended them- selves, heroically with their bare hands. The boss papers admit that one worker was critically injured, and hundreds of others badly hurt by the police. The Chicago cor- respondent of the Néw York Times in his story to his paper admits that the mounted police “rode their mounts into the thick of the crowd and clubbed left and right, while their horses, knocked down the fleeing demonstrators. “Policemen stationed in front of the Tribune Tower charged into the midst of the struggling throng, laying about them left and right with rub- ber hose and clubs.” Police on motorcycles and in auto- mobiles rode straight into the ranks of the workers, knocking down and injuring many. Injured workers were left on the streets for nearly an hour be’>re being taken to the hosyife’s % freatment, Thirty workers «.¢ known to be arrested. Probably many more. ‘The workers tried to hoist their speakers on their shoulders, but the speakers were beaten down or shot by the police, Many by-standers were also injured by the police. That the huge crowds lining the streets were distinctly sympathetic to the demonstration is admitted in the following dispatch sent from here tc the New York Tribune: “Crowds of innocent but curious persons hampered the police when they crowded around each seized prisoner. Many felt’ the sting of police clubs when they refosed to obey orders to ‘move on’ and stoutly proclsimed their rights as American citizens.” | Chicago newspapers reporting three | policemen in the hospital, claim that workers shot them. The police speak of policemen being wounded by a man who possessed an automatic pistol. But the boss newspapers refer to the same man as having “emptied an automatic pistol into the crowd.” The Communist Party has issued a vigorous denial that the workers fired at the police, pointing out that none of the workers were armed, and [that the police fired on a peaceful ‘demonstration of workers. In addition to the Negro and white workers mobilized by the Communist Party and the Young Communist League, a number of students par- ticipated in the demonstration, as well as several hundred Chinese. The bestial attack on yesterday's | anti-war, anti-terror demonstration follows the police attack the day | before on seven thousand workers demonstrating in the Northwest side of Chicago for unemployed delief. There is a great possibility that the critically injured worker, shot yester- day by the police, will die. In their efforts to whitewash their Police, the bosses and their news- papers are trying to whip up senti- ment against the Communist Party. The Communist Party declares the resporsibility for the.evon% of yes- terdey ore cn {Ye bo Bode Piet PpOUCR, LUD 0) cul way sens the United States last week in! search of a loan. The refusal of Wall | St., itself up to the néck in the crisis, to extend the loan put the final seal | on the ruin of the mammoth mo- nopoly that was already tottering on | its last legs. So devastatingly had the crisis hit | this “invineible” trust that Kreuger | and Toll “American certificates” droped from a peak of $46 in 1929 to $5 a share on the day before Kreu- ger’s suicide. The stocks of the In- ternational Match Co. selling at $102 im 1929 were being thrown around | contemptuously for $17.50 4 share. | The bonds of t he company had) dropped down to less than $50, So closely tied up is the crash of the Kreuger Match Co. with a num- ber of, governments that the suicide of Kreuger has had serious govern- mental repercussions. Already the Swedish government has called a)| special session of Parliament and introduced a bill for a one month’s| moratorium on Swedish debts abroad. | This has been done to prevent bank- | ruptey of the Swedish government | which is deeply involved in the Kreu- | ger cartel. Kreuger is also notorious as the bitter enemy of the Soviet Union.! Two years ago, as part of the huge | Propazanda campaizn against the So- viet Union in preparation for the armed attack that had been sched- uled for 1930, Kreuver started a vi- cious campaivn of lies and slanders against the Soviet Union and insti- gated the whole movement for the barring of Soviet matches from American and European markets, It was almost entirely with the money of Kreuger that the revolt of | the Hungarian workers and peasants | was drowned in a@ sea of blood and the Hungarian Soviet Republic de- | Stroyed. This open counter revolu- tionary activity of Kreuger was ad- | mitted by Kreucer himself in a! statement of B. C. Forbes, financial | writer for. the N. ¥.
