Y., Dec. 9—As against the Wall Street-Tammahy program of cutting the wages of thousands of civil service workers and reducing relief for the unem- ployed, a workers’ delegation today demanded at opening of the special session of the state legislature that not a cent be cut from the wages of New York city workers, that relief appropriations be increased and that | @ system of unemployment insurance be enacted. The delegation was elected by the big demonstration Tuesday of 8,000 New York workers for winter relief and in support of the demands of the national hunger marchers in Washington. ‘The special session of the legisla- ture: is meeting for the purpose of putting through sweeping wage cuts » nNew York city workers including eachers, firemen, clerks, janitors, rolicemen and street cleaning de- artment employes. It was called by .cting Governor Lehman under ure of Wall Street bankers who refused to lend the city any re money to meet the huge bills up by the Tammany bureau- cratic graft machine unless expenses are cut down by slashing the wages of the civil service workers. ‘The workers’ committee made the following demands: 1.—No wage cuts for civil service employes and no layoffs. 2.—No cuts in relief payments, eli- mination of all bureaucratic red tape at relief bureaus and abolition of dis- crimination against Negro, foreign- . born and single workers, as well as of all forced, labor. 3.—No evictions. ‘Increased a} to . give $10 a week to each jobless work- er, plus $3 for each dependent, 5.—Unemployment insurance, the tunds to be provided by the bosses, 6—City and state appropriations tor public works, to center chiefly in workers’ neighborhoods. ty) 7.—No taxes on articles of mass consumption. 8—Drastic cuts in all city experidi- cures except social services. 9.—Reduced salaries for all elected and appointed officials. 10.—A moratorium on interest and debts’ due the bankers for the crisis period. es ete of the rich.

C., Dee. 9.—A large delegation of farm- ers from about 30 states, moved up to the Capitol Build- ing today from their National Farm Relief Conference in the Typographical Union Hall, and | split into smaller delegations, to see the congressmen and senators from each of the states represented by farmers at the congress, and to see Vice-President Curtis and Speaker Garner of the House. They presented these congress- men and senators with their de- mands, adopted yesterday in the con- ference of over 250 delegates, along witha statement declaring that there is no surplus of farm products, that the country is full of starving work. ers who need food, and that the farmers are being ruined by the sys- | tem itself and by the food trust which pays farmers low prices and charges workers high prices. Demand Half Billion Relief. Their first demand is for congress to appropriate $500,000,000 for relief of destitute farmers. ‘They demand that food products needed for city unemployed shall be bought directly from the farmers, not from food trusts. ‘They demand that relief shall be administered to, farmers by local committees of farmers in each town- ship—no mortgaging to the bankers who now handle the “farm relief”. They demand that there be no legislation based on the theory of “surplus production”, no schemes to destroy fond, plow under every third row of corn, or anything of the*sort that™has been freely suggested by the government. They demand a moratorium, or “debt holiday” on mortgages, taxes, rents for all farmers whose product has until recently been just enough to maintain a farm family. They demand cancellation of the feed and seed loans of the govern- ment, which are now used to take the farmers’ land from him. ‘They demand no evictions of farm- ers.

In this way the democrats hope to avoid responsibil- jity for a republican measure which, }in face of the growth of mass hun- ger and the insistent demands of the jobless for relf€f, aims to raise the |price of hundreds of articles con- |sumed by the workers and poor | farmers. Beer Instead of Bread. The democrats of the Ways and Means Committee are playing. their usual game of offering the hungry beer instead of bread. They are planning to give first consideration to the Collier beer bill, while ignor~ ing the question of immediate relief and federal unemployment insurance. ‘That the democrats are not in the least. opposed to the sales tax was evident from the last Congress, when a sales tax bill was supported by Speaker Garner, the incoming vice- president and a large number of ‘other democrats. When they are in complete control of the govern- ment they will undoubtedly try to} put through this attack on the starving masses as dictated by the | Wall Street bankers, Want Greater Vet Cut. At the same time the National |Economy League an organization of big capitalists and professional patri- jots, which has the support of politi- cians of both parties, including Al Smith and Coolidge issued a state- ment expressing dissatisfaction with the $127,000,000 cut in veterans’ dis- ability payments recommended by |Hoover. The organization calls this | “negligible little whittling” and de- jmands that veterans’ benefits be | given. the “axe instead of a jack~ knife.” Canton Commune toBe Celebrated Tomorrow! at Stuyvesant Casino NEW YORK.—The 5th anniversary of the Canton Commune will be celebrated at a mass meeting to be held tomorrow (Sunday) at 2 o'clock at Stuyvesant Casino, Second Ave., and Ninth St. under the joint aus- pices of the Anti-Imperialist League and the International Labor Defense.

Crosby is an important mining town in the Cuyana range. It has about 4,000 population. The mines are of iron ore, which contains man_ ganese. Soviet Union An Issue. During the elections the capitalist press, furiously opposed the Commu-' nist candidates, and tried to win the workers away from them by a noisy campaign against the Soviet Union. The press claimed that the Soviet Union was “dumping manganese in America” and that this was against the interests of the workers here. | Communist candidates were able to prove, not only that there was no dumping to injure workers here, but | that the Soviet Union bought far more’ products here, giving employ- ment to American workers, than it sold here, until federal government persecution of this trade greatly in- jured it. Furthermore, the Communist can- didates held up the Soviet Union with its constantly rising wage scales and improving standard of living, no un- employment, in contrast to the mil- lions of jobless and wage cuts here. New Mayor Led Struggles There is also much unemployment in the iron mines of this state. Mygard, the Communist mayor- elect has been a leader in all em- ployed workers struggles and the struggles of the jobless, Under his administration, this fight for relief and against wage cuts will go on with renewed vigor.

This un- doubtedly indicates wide spread vote stealing from the Communists in up- state New York, but it is more than | the 25,000 legally required for a place on the ballot.

Tom Mooney then asked the ILD representative to bring his warmest greetings of solidarity to the Inter- national Labor Defense. “Only Gov. Rolph,” he said, “considers my case closed, while the world-wide fight for my freedom becomes greater and more persistent.” Stating that most of the American workers “live under threat of the poorhouse, bighouse or bughouse,” Mooney expressed his wholehearted sclidarity with the National Hunger Merch, and said that he hoped to see similar mass support for the Chicago Mooney Congress on the first of May, 1933, and for the local Scottsboro- Mooney confererte. Reiterating his solidarity with the Scottsboro boys, he warned of even greater danger for the life of the boys than existed before the Supreme Court reversal of the Alabama courts.

MORE VETS ARRIVE New Calif., Kansas Units in Capital WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Despite terroristic attempts to keep them out, ex-servicemen from all sections of the country are coming in daily to join the more than 1,000 who are al- ready here to demand immediate pay~- ment of the bonus and no cuts in| disability allowances. A group of 30 bonus magchers from Kansas and another group from California arrived here on the B and O freight. The | California group stated that there are at least 1,000 vets from Calif- ornia on their way to Washington in freight trains. About 150 ex-service- men are encamped in Hagerstown, Md., waiting to march to the capital. The police tactics has been to hustle to veterans out of the city together with the hunger marchers, On Tuesday more than 100 vets, in- cluding contingents from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Baltimore, were deported with the hunger march- ers. There were not enough trucks for most of the vets, so the police surrounded them and forced them to remain on the road.

Wants More Complete Whitewash. The Japanese delegate bluntly laid before the League the terms on which Japan will consent to continue | to co-operate with the tragic-farce taking place here. He demanded that |the League's whitewash of Japan's |robber war in Manchuria be made still more complete. jected the bids of Japan's imperialist {rivals for a share in Japan's Man- churian loot by “internationaliza- |tion” of Manchuria. He hinted that | Japan was ready to drop its mem- bership in the League. He threat- ened that if there was not a complete whitewash, Japan would sim the non-aggression pact offered by the | Soviet Union in its struggle for peace jagainst the intervention conspiracies |of world imperialism. Tells League to Take Hint, He carefully pounded home this | threat of a breach in the imperialist | front against the Soviet Union. “Is | the League against that peace which is to be established between Soviet | Russia and Japan in the Far East?”, he ‘asked tongue in cheek, knowing full well the League's role of organ- |izer of armed intervention against the Soviet Union. “It is for you to decide.” He warned the League and the U. 8. observers to the conference that as a result of the Soviet Union’s firm peace policy there was “a rapid change of public sentiment” in Jape an in favor of the non-aggression pact. He significantly asked “Cannot the League of Nations take a profitable hint from this?” The League took the hint by ar- bitrarily closing the debate on Manchuria and referring the ques- tion to the “conciliation commite tee of nineteen.” Wants More Concessions, Matsouka’s speech was clearly dir- ected at bludgeoning further conces- sions from the League of Nations and the United States on the basis of maintaining the anti-Soviet front. While facing Japan's imperialist riv- als with the threat of a non-aggres- sion pact with the Soviet Union, Mat- souka carefully let it be known that Japan was one with world intperial« ism in its hostility to the rising, flour ishing Soviet world, He flatly re-
