MAY 2a, 1982 = Fage inree the Coliseum, THE SALVATION ARMY OPENS NEW BUMMING Will Collect Million in Cash; Unemployed Will Get Greasy So Dear Comrade Editor: I read in the press, of course, in the capitalist press, about the new “rodeo” started by the old faithful Salvation Army, but this time, they have open: splurge of publicity and fanfare. I suppose it will interest you to know something about the best charity organization there is, and the ways and means they employ in order to extract money, not to feed the poor and starving, as they claim, maintenance of their large staff. you can see how fat and contented the officers and officials of this bunk orgenisation look, using and abusing of the neney that rightfully belongs to the poor. T cxa give ‘7a a lot of informa- un, for i have been wovilay for cnagtinic i {a2 preparation of the drive, Believe me, that the; an organization for ¢ cople Mow They Do It.

Recently they made ¢ files as per copy, taking the res from those who gave to the Unemployment Subscription; and they check! upon everything.

Most of the workers were paid by the Unemployment Working Re-j lief Committee, In other words, the Salvation Army was getting the ben- efit, for the money collected will go Jin their coffe overhead. You know who has been maintaining this wealthy organiza- tion? The poor and the middle class, | for the rich people know them well enough. They have in their files thousands and thousands of cards, with the donations, all ranging from | one dollar to five dollars.

Urges Third Avenue Streetcarmen to Organize (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—An error was made in the story carried in the Daily Worker on the wage cut of the Third Ave. Railway System. The cut was 15 per cont instead of 10 per cent. This cué involves thousands of work- crs. * The company bosses not only cut the wages but changed the sys- fom to a one man car system be- fore they cut the wages. » 1 was talking to a conductor on the Madison Ave. Line a few days ago. I asked him what he thousand of the Third Ave. cut. He said, “Well, I got my cut a month ago.” I told him, “This is just your first one, You are next on the list. You must organize for better conditions.” I explained to him that the Trade Union Unity League, 5 EB. 19th St., would help'him and all the street car men to organize to fight against the cuts. —8. G. Call Troops Vets Bonus Demands SPRINGFIELD, Il!—Six Guard were ordered out Mond, to Halt units of the Illinois National jay by Lieut.-Gov. Fred Sterling in an attempt to halt World War veterans from proceeding to Washington to present their demands for full cash payment of the tombstone bonus. The veterans who fought in France, who thought they were fighting for democracy, for the constitutional right to “assemble and proceed to the seat of governnient to present a peti- tion for redress of grievances,” are now confronted with the true role of the government. ‘Troops are called to shoot them down because they are attempting to act according to their constitutions! Tights, because they are demanding their back wages. Over 300 vetcrans atiempted to hoard a freight train in the B & O yards in Bast St. Louis en route for ‘Washington. The train was halted by railroad officials, and despite the fact that the cars were loaded with perishable goods, they refused to budge the train. ‘Wer veterans throughout the coun- try are on their way to Washington to attend the gigantic bonus demon- stration which will be held there on June ath under the leadership of the ‘Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League. The Workers Ex-Servicemen's League, which supports the struggles of the workers for unemployment in- surance and whose delegates appear- ed before the Ways and Means Com- mittee in Washington, has issued a be call to al) veterans regardless of their organizational affiliation to elect mass delegations from their ranks to join the National Bonus March. ‘The National Provisional Bonus March Committee, 1 Union Square, pointed out in a statement yesterday that billions of dollars are being paid to the bankers and the war indus- tries. The statement of the veterans said: “On June the 8th, the National Provisional March Committee will conduct a National demonstration in ‘Washington. In the meantime, scores of veterans are coming into Wash- ington under leadership other than that of the National Committces. We -must point out that the veterans and their leaders must not permit their strength to be destroyed by agents of the Veterans Bureau and the Hoo- demands through individual or di- vided action. ‘We wish to point out that all com- mittees of the Provisional Committee are to report to the National Commit- tee their proposals in Washington. “All veterans, white and Negro, must also realize that there must be a united front built on June 8th, in Washington. Only through the unity of all groups of veterans now in Washington and those to arrive later can we guard against and provoca- tions ‘by the Washington police and their fellow agents in other sections of the country. “We call upon the veterans to pre- pare fro a large mass meeting in Washington at which representatives of the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League and of the Provisional Bonus March Committee will speak and further point out the way the dem- onstration must be conducted.” The march to Washington will de- mand full payment of the bonus (back wages) and the return of all interest charges on the 50 per cent given the vets. ‘Thousands of veterans are signing the ballots distributed by the Work- ers Ex-Servicemen’s League, thus ® | WHERE THEY LIST THE SUCKERS NAME ...

Frisco Judge Jails Jobless in Communist Election Drive SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 24.—- Eugene and Victor Petersen, two un- employed carpenters, who were ac- tive in collecting signatures for put- ting the Communist Party on the ballot, were stopped on Howard St by plain clothesmen,. taken to the Southern police station and. at the suggestion of one of the dicks, 8. Cohen, were held on $1,000 bai! on vagtancy charges. Although eight others had heen pulled in on vagrancy charges, the Petersen brothers were tried ‘first, and alone. ‘They defended them- selves, Labor-hating handed them a 80 day suspended sentence declaring: “I would respect a murderer or bank robber more than i the detective squad for scru- i iin i i i : then abused the eight g i & ful ivf | i : ii as i | i i ; | , a S f g z a i # i ee “4a E* g 1 33 ee Fe aI u i | e strikers. Ninety days in the county jail was the sentence given to Judge Lazarus to J. Feingold, leader of the San Francisco Unemployed Council, fol- lowing a hasty “trial” in which Fein- gold defended himself. Feingold im- mediately appealed. He is out on $600 cash bond furnished by the In- temational Labor Defense. Not «2 ingle worker was present on the jury. Feingold .was arrested on Apri] 1 with A. Haugardy and William Tan- forth when they appeared at the As- sociated Charities with 14 families and a demand for food and relief for them. A week later, Feingold was “taken for a ride,” viciously beaten, and thrown out of the car. ‘The courtroom was filled with men from the breadlines who were given 10 cents each at the City Registra- tion Burea to pack the court, under threat of losing their “slop” if they refused. Witnesses for the defense were barred and hustled out of te building. ‘The men hired on the breadline were supposed to be taught @ lesson by the trial. Judge Lazarus,°4 republican party “liberal” prohibited Feingold from questioning or challenging the jurors for cause. The Judge repeatedly cut short the defendants cross-examina- tion and the testiony of the de- fense witnesses. Despite the Judge’s attempt to gag Feingold, he spoke for ten minutes, pointed out the contradictions in the Pprosecution’s testimony, exposed the discrimination and abuse of the Ag- sociated Charities against individual workers, and explained the role of the Unemployed Councils in the fight for of starving families.

Chicago, 7 P._ On the Streets for National Youth Day! N ITS frantic preparations for imperialist war, the American impere jalism is more than ever exerting itself to win over large sections of the working class youth It is attempting to offset the growing radicalization of the young workers with a campaign of demagogy and fascist organization, The recent. donation.of $250,000 to the Boy Scouts b; cob H. Schiff, the “ten year plan” of that organization for increasin, membership to 1,300,000, the formation of athletic leagues in New York City under the personal supervision of the Police Department, the special appeal made to the youth by “Father” Cox's Blue Shirts, and other recent developments of similar character point unmistakably to an intensified effort on the part of the capitalist class to capture the working class youth. The extreme rapidity with which the present war on the Chinese masses is being transformed into a world imperialist war against the Soviet Union, coupled with the fact that the bulk of the armed fdtces of imperialism are made up of young workers. is feverishly spurring en the capitalist class in its drive to win the working class youth away from the working class movement Every moment that brings closer the outbreak of imperialist world war against the Soviet Union increases the importance for the working class of mobilizing its youth in the struggle against that war and for defense of the Soviet: Union. For this reason, Secor~ National Youth Day, May 29th, and 30th, should be supported by the entire working class as a day of struggte against imperialist war and for defense of the Soviet Union. The character of National Youth Day as a counter blow to the fren- zied preparations for war on the Soviet Union is indicated in part by the fact that it will be celebrated precisely on the day when the capt- talist class trots forth its best weapons in an attempt to mobilize the youth for war on the Soviet Union—Decoration Yy Second National Youth Day will also direct its blows at the treach- erous social-fascist leadership of the Young People’s Socialist League which has again exposed itself as the best ally of the war makers in the ranks of the working class youth by issuing categoric instructions to its rank and file members against any united front with the National Youth Day committees, Already the mags pressure of the young workers has succeeded in crashing through the opposition of even such a steel trust dominated city as Youngstown, scene of militant defense against an armed attack of the steel police on the First National Youth Day demonstration last year. Nevertheless, National Youth Day must not be considered as a day of struggle separate and apart from the rest of the working class. It must be supported by the entire working class These demonstrations will not only be against the criminal war moves of the capitalist class but against the whole system of double oppression and terror directed against the working class youth in general and the Negro youth in particular. National Youth Day is also a part of the efforts of the workers to free the nine Scottsboro boys, Jess Hollins, Wil- lie Brown and the other victims of capitalist lynch rule Forward to Second National Youth Day—day of struggle against imperialist war and for defense of the Soviet Union!
