P. (By a Worker Correspondent) Birmingham, Ala. June 11, 1932, The unemployed workers in Bir- mingham have to work two and three times a week for the Red Cross when they are only giving them forty cents a head to live on, for a week. None of it in cash, just in food. Sometimes a worker is with- ! out food two and three days and has to carry his rations three and four miles without any transportation. We have no coal to cook with or other things, such as medicine or getiing a doctor into your house, if anyone is taken sick suddenly, Where there is not more than two in the | family the Red Cross is not helping them. At the same time many of us Fined for Taking Part in May Day Meeting in Mllinois (By 2 Worker Correspondent) CHICAGO, Ml.—Six workers were found guilty and fined because they fook part in the demonstration on May Day in Elmwood Park and which the police broke up. Seven young workers were also found guilty and fined because they posted up signs calling on the young workers to pro- test against imperialist war and to take pare in the National Youth Day demonstration Engineers Put Back to Firemen; Firemen, Switchmen Fired (By a Worker Correspondent) HAMMOND, Ind.—The Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad at Gibson, Ind. put seven engineers back to firing jobs and laid off 14 firemen. Twelve switchmen were also laid off. switchmen were only working eight days a month, barely keeping alive, now they are entirely laid off, This shows how the ten per cent yoluntary cut put more men back to Work, as Daniel Willard, spokesman of the Railway Executive Board at the Palmer House conference in Feb- Tuary, 1932 stated it would do.’ Just the opposite of what he said is true and the workers can expect more and more layoffs and cuts in wages in the future. Fleischman Charses Workers 25 Cents to Look at His Mansion (By a Worker Correspondent.) CINCINNATI, Ohio.—The capital- ist Julius Fleischman ‘of Cincinnati, famous yeast manufacturer, took a trip to Europe. While away he tries to make the workers believe he is for them. He charges 25 cents admis- sion to see his mansion and turns the money ever to the unemployed, Just the same, he has cut the wages of his workers, | This is another. example of the demagogy and hypocrisy of the so- walled “liberal bosses” of Cincinnati. Make Demands for Bonus Be Heard New York, N. Y. Daily Worker:— ‘The millions of ex-servicemen in the United States, of which over a million are unemployed, are being cheated by the officials of the Amer- ican Legion and the Veterans of For- eign Wars. The Ways and Means Committee killed the bonus following Patman’s inflation seare. Patman claimed to represent the vets—so does the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The rank and file of the ex-soldiers now realize that they must put up their own fight, led by rank and file veterans. Today a~new chapter is being written by the veterans. Thous- ands are preparing for a march to Weshington and are uniting their forces. The demands for full and immediate payment of the bonus will be heard from the Capitol steps on dune 8. Come on, vets, join the mareh under the leadership of the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League. —An Ex-Soldier. Prepare Attack On Canada Defense Body TORONTO, June 19.—Preparations for a direct attack against the Gan- adian Labor Defense League under the vicious Section 98 are indicated in the report that Joseph Sedgewick, of the Attorney General's depart- ment, is taking a hand in the pro- secution of David Chalmers, who was arrested recently while on a ©.

They came to Cincin- nati Friday morning at 7 and they remained on the B. & O, train, plan- ning to leave on the same train. But the officials had decided that they would not carry them any further. The police were called and there were also 70 railroad dicks to make them move. There were more than 150 Negroes in the march, MARCHERS JIM-CROWED Cincinnati, Ohio, Daily Worker: Here is another example of the Veterans of Foreign Wars trying to keep the rank and file divided. Be- tween 606 and 700 bonus marchers stopped off in Cincinnati from Texas. As they marched towards the rail- road station, where they were to get transportation, the white workers were in the front and the Negro workers in the back. This is how the workers are divided, This was on June 10, A WORKER. MUCH RED TAPE FOR A BUM JOB (By a Worker Correspondent) CINCINNATI.—This is the red tape a man has to go through in Cincinnati in order to push a junk car, One worker went to the City Welfare to secure a job to pick up waste paper. He had to go to Shoe- maker Center (Negro Welfare So- ciety) and stand a blood-test. Then he takes his pieture at his own ex- pense. He leaves two pictures at the ‘Welfare 'so the police ean watch him that he does not get away with any of the paper. ’ “RELIEF” IN CINCINNATI (By a Worker Correspondent) CINCINNATI.—There is a family which gets only 6 milk tickets a week and there are four children in the family.

There were two 15 per cent cuts be- fore this one. The workers have elected a strike committee made up of experienced workers. The A. F. of L. tried to separate the workers on the basis of craft, but the work~ ers would not let their ranks be divided, The president of the company has made several attempts to get the strikers to go back to work. On June 10 the president called the commit- tee in and made the following prop- osition; Workers getting under 35 cents per hour will get no cut, those making more must take the 10 per cent cut. The workers refused to accept the boss program of wage-cuts and will continue their struggle to prevent their conditions being made still worse than they already are.

Glassford, chief of the Washington police, raised the 11th Street bridge which spans the Poto- mac in an attempt to break up a march of hungry, unemployed World War veterans to the Capitol to de- mand that the Senate vote to pay their back wages.

Rank and File Order March, “On to the Capitol!” “Over the Bridge, Comrades!” “The Senate ts going to defeat the bill!” “Everybody. to Washington!” These commands were shouted not | by the leaders, but by the rank and file.

The whole camp suddenly became alive, Thousands of vets began to move across the flats toward the 11th Street bridge. Enthusiasm ran high. T got lost from the Ohio vets and fell in with a couple of boys from Toxas. Three thousand had-already crossed the bridge \before we got there, | Thousands were following behind us.

Y., June 18.— Four hundred workers of this town of 20,000 jobless heard James W. Ford, Communist candidate for vic- president, open the election canipaign here. Ford's speech was in prepara- tion also for the Commuynist state nominating convention which will take place here Sunday in Albany Theatre. The police carried a kind of a gueriila warfare against Ford’s meet- ing, claiming he had no right to speak in Crescent Park, but he spoke, anyway, without open attack on the meeting, tho earlier in the day two young workers were arrested for dis- tributing leaflets advertising the speech, Both are released on $50 bonds. Exposes Republicans Ford shattered the illusion of Ne- gro workers that the Republican Party is their party by telling them lof the unseating of Negro delegates from South Carolina in favor of the “lily-white” delegations to the Repub- lican nominating convention, and of the Republican convention's Jim- ‘Crowing of Negro delegates who were seated. Ford showed the Republican prog- ram as one of imperialist war, no re- Nef even to say nothing of unemploy- ment insurance, and of continued lynch terror against Negro workers. Sadie Van Veen was chairman of Ford's meeting. It was the first time the program of the Communist Party was brought to the workers of this city. Only 5,000 now work, and those ‘only part time, at the Gneral electric plants here which formerly employed 27,000. The only other. large indus- tity, the Mellon owned locomotive fac- i tories used to employ 5,000 but now ‘have only 500, and will shut down next month entirely. Relief is being cut down.
