Those Who Come Alone Turned Down NEW YORK, N. Y.—Two single} workers, Alex Chernetsky and Max} Scutsky won relief today from the Home Relief Bureau at Houston and Essex Sts., when they went with a |committee of the Downtown Unem- |ployed Council and “raised hell’ as| |the worker said. This victory is sig- nificant because the Home Relief | Bureau in the past has been refusing | any relief whatsoever to single work- jers. | The two workers were given food |cars for a week and had their room rent paid for one month. Single work- | |ers are usually told to sleep in the} Municipal flop house. At the same time the case of Mrs. | Rach, a pregnant woman with three | children, one still in the cradle, again exposes that the Home Relief Bu- reau is condemning workers to starv- jation and death, when they appeal individually.

Y¥., March 17.— March 25 is the anniversary of the arrest of the nine Scottsboro boys! | The working class of the world, which has already roared its protest of this outrage committed against young Negro workers, will remember them in thousands of demonstrations | on March 18, anniversary of the Paris | | Commune. | On march 25, 1931, nine young Ne- | groes were taken from a freight train at Paint Rock, Ala., and framed with a rape charge on two girls riding a box car in overalls. The girls were | themselves victims of capitalist ex- ploitation: mill workers who could not | live on the starvation wages, of the bosses and had taken to prostitution | to survive. Yet the capitalist courts took these two girls, whom they were willing to starve and ruin, and used them to stir up race prejudice against the en- tire Negro race. In this way, by split- |ting the ranks of Negro and white workers, the owners of Southern in- dustry seek to keep the Negro—and his white fellow-worker too—in per- petual peonage. | That white workers as well as Ne- groes are victims of boss frame-ups is |shown in the fate of Tom Mooney, |now spending his sixteenth year be- | hind the thick walls of San Quentin. Though the whole world knows of his \innocence, Governor Rolph refuses to |release him. He is now counting on |the militant workers to free him, | The International Labor Defense | asks that workers write to the Scotts- | boro prisoners on March 18 to show their working-class solidarity.

The landlords in this vicinity are using all methods to stop the work- trs to organize to stop evictions and demand immediate relief and other demands.

The strike had been on for over two months, with the workers fighting a lock-out of the bosses, the object of the lock-out being an attempt to force a wage cut. All arrested strikers are being turned over to the military author- ities, which in Cuba means their ives are in great danger. On the same day that the arrest of the eleven cigarette strike lead- ers took place, riots occurred in Havana when the capitalist news- papers raised their price to the newsboys. The newsboys roamed the streets destroying all copies of El newspapers, Police clubbed the rioting newsboys but were unable to smash the strike.

Both of these locals which were in a critical condition, local 41 hav- ing collapsed entirely because the workers refused to pay dues, were merged by teh union officials and were called out on a fake strike on March 7. None of the workers, how- ever, answered the call. Thereupon the bosses gave the workers checks to pay their unino dues and drove them out of the shops. ‘These workers were herded into the Webster Hall by the company union ° officials. At this meeting the senti- ment of the dressmakers was one of anger and protest against the sell- out, Many of the workers got up and walked out; others shouted their dis- approval of the agreement. The agreement, upon which no vote was taken, reduced the wages of the dressmakers all along the line. Tuck- ers who previously received #55 must now according to the agreement work for $42. The pleaters were cut from $35 to $22. Stitchers who got $30 will receive under the agreement $18 to $25.

They won a $3 reduction in rent for all tenants and all other de- mands. One of the tenants last month asked the landlord for a §2 reduction. The landlord took the Tent from him, but instead of giving this tenant a reduction he was given an eviction notice, was called to court and the judge gave him five days to pay or to be thrown out. But during these five days this worker notified the Williamsburgh Enemployed Council at 61 Graham St. of his eviction. The strike which was settled at 34 Bartlett St. last week was not sat- istactory, because the House Com- mittee settled with the landlord with- out consulting the tenants of the house; settled fo ra $2 reduction for four rooms, $1 for three rooms; two tenants did not get any reduction. The landlord said these two tenants paid the cheapest rent. This shows‘ that the House Com- mittee took the landlord’s demands instead of the tenants’ demands! The tenants’ demands, through their House Committee, were a $2 reduction for all tenants in the house and for which they were all striking under the leadership of the Unem- ployed Council. Therefore, the House Committee should have brought back the report of the landlord to the tenants of the house, and this should have been endorsed by all the ten- ants of the house. The Hotise Committees and ten- ants should avoid these mistakes in the future, so they can bring a vic- tory to all the striking tenants in all houses and blocks. The Unemployed Council of Wil- liamsburg will hold tonight its regu- lar meeting at 61 Graham Ave. All representatives of House and Block Committees and organizations are to attend this meeting. J.
