That is what Hew- “ruining the fur workers.” cussed at the meeting tonight, ac- cording to the group calling the meeting. The capitalist press states that a purpose of the mass meeting is to demand a Grand Jury investigation of the extortion rackets against job- less waiters. The call for the meet- ing, however, does not propose this. “Racketeers Must Go!” “Racketeering and the racketeers must go!” the leaflet states. “The only way that corruption, bribery, milking the workers of their last few dollars for jobs, racketeering and other evils forced on us by our offi- cials can be stopped once and for all is for the rank and file to take ac- tion,” the call asserts. ™~ Attorney Adolph Dzik, who is de- fending Glast, is quoted in the capi- talist press as demanding a grand jury investigation. Me has handed over to the Assistant Attorney Gen- eral about 20 affidavits by waiters, | from whom $100 to $300 each was extorted by the officials, according to the capitalist press. Militant members of the union greeting them as they passed thru the various cities and towns on the way to Washington and back. The story of the Hunger march has been preserved for all time in picture form by the Workers Film | and Photo League. A long film has been prodttced showing the back- ground of the Hunger March—the misery and starvation, jobless crowds, idle factories, breadlines, underfed children, evictions, Hoovervilles, etc., as contrasted with the extravagance and wealth of the capitalists. The struggle of the unemployed vestigation by a Tammany Grand Jury would be of no avail. Racke- teering officials of the A. F. of L. hold prominent positions in Tam- | many organizations. The rank and file can rid the orvanization of racke- teers only by ousting false leaders and taking over control of the union. The call for the meeting states | that the provisional committee of 25, \to be elected tonight, will handle the affairs of the union ‘until the elec- tion of new officers three weeks in the cities; the demonstrations which led to the March, and the | presentation of the demands for winter relief and unemployment in- surance; the conference held on the Highway under the lamposts, sur- | rounded by police with rifles, revoly- | ers and tear gas—all are shown in the film. This film, titled “Hunger,” is be- ing prepared for production and will | have a country wide distribution. There will be a first showing at the Fifth Avenue Theater, 28th St. and Broadway on Monday, Jan. 2nd, from 10 am. to 11:30 p.m, Don’t forget the time and place. Speak to your shop mates, members and sympathizers in your unions and organizations. Tell them not to miss the showing of this film. “The Anti-Injunction Committee,” said Pauline Rogers, secretary of the committee, “does not limit itself to a legal fight against injunctions. The Anti-Injunction Committee must also fight injunctions by means of the strongest weapon in the hands of the workers, mass pressure, mass protest and mass violation of injunc- tions. “Every worker must see to it that his union and mass organization ac- tively participate in the anti-injunc- tion struggle by seeing to it that their delegates are represented on the | Anti-Injunction Committee.” TUESDAY All organizations and individuals that have tag day boxes for the Scottsboro boys are urged to turn them in immediately to the District Office of the I.
