International Notes By ROBERT HAMILTON CHRISTMAS RELIEF WON IN , IN BELFAST j The Belfast unemployed, following upon their magnificent fight last Oc- tober, when their mass action forced the Belfast Guardians to increase the relief scales of a man and wife from 8 to 20 shillings per week, have now won another victory, At the beginning of December the Guardians decided to give extra Christmas relief amounting to 6 shil- lings for every man and 3 shillings for every woman, dust as the first Belfast victory en- thused the unemployed throughout Ireland and England, and was respon- sible for the 25 per cent increase in Dublin and the abolition of such re- strictions as food tickets, so will this victory for Christmas relief be an en- couragement for the Irish unemployed in their struggle for extra winter re- lef. 4 relief can be won—but it can only be won through the pressure of mass action! Be 3 WORKERS QUITTING THE GER- MAN SOCIALIST PARTY BERLIN, Dec, 10.—(by mail).—The indignation over the betrayal of the y Socialist leaders in the Berlin traffic strike has scarcely died down in the ranks of the German Socalist Party when the news of Leipart’s remarks in his interview with the correspond- ent of the Paris “Excelsior” explodes like a bomb in the Socialist ranks. Factory workers are again leaving the Socialist Party in droves, For exam- ple: The Socialists hac 100 party mem- bers working in the Charite, famous Berlin hospital. During the past few weeks more than 30 of them have left the party, refusing al! offers to return. Many of those resigning have joined the Communist Party. Ra ae WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT! When the agents of the capitalist class begin to quarrel among them- selves the workers are always likely to learn the truth. The nationalist “Deutsche Zeitung” of Berlin is being sued for libel by Otto Wels, national chairman of the German Socialist Party. According to the Berlin Socialist ily, the “Vorwaerts”, Wels testified ‘batim as follows: “Mm reality nobody did more to carry out the slogan: ‘The Father- land stands above the party!’ For the Socialist Party sacrificed ev- erything for the Fatherland: even the unity of the party, as it had to suffer a split of the party because of its attitude towards the Father- land!” ‘Wels is defending himself against he charge that he was a traitor to is “country” during the war, To dis- rove that, he is citing all the proofs f the Socialist Party’s chauvinist role uring the World War.

On Nov. "5th the street car company dis- charged 137 employees, announcing through the press that they were dis- charged for “ideological reasons”; that is, the influence of the Left trade union federation among the transport workers had to be broken. The Transport Workers Union has protested against these discharges and started preparing for a mass strike. These reports of class struggle in Japan are not carried by the Associated Press or respectable capitalist papers like the “Times” or the“Herald-Tribune”. “Interna- tional Notes” will consider its mis- sion to print items of class war all over the world that are conveniently “forgotten” by the bourgeois press. aN EN) RED UNION WINS ELECTION REICHENBERG, Czechoslovakia (By Mail) —‘The Red Metal Workers Union won a smashing victory in the shop elections in the Trinetch iron work’. Of the 3848 votes cast, the Red Union polled 2188, or a clear majority, gaining 10 delegates. All the other Socialist, Nazi, Catholic /and Nationalist unions together seated only 7 delegates. The Red majority in the shop council was maintained, despite the large num- ber of workers laid off because of the depression. SPANISH COMMUNIST PAPER APPEARS AGAIN After a widespread mass campaign, in which 50,000 pesetas were col-| lected, the Spanish “Socialist” Gov- ernment has had to withdraw the suppression of the “Mundo Obrero”, central daily organ of the Commu- nist arty of Spain.

Tillinchast, Commissioner of Immi- eration, protesting the use of the Denartment of Labor to terrorize workers in their struggle against hunger and wage cuts. The arrest of Anna B’ 4 by the Department's agents as the »nger |march was about to leave Fc’ton | Nov. 27th was a clear indication of |the Department's role as strike- |breakers and oversecutors of the struggling workers. The delegation consisted of Bruce Reline. New Eneland Secretary of the Unemvloved Councils, Hector Thomnson of the Boston Unemnloved Council, Mary Ahlouist, Charles Walters of the International Labor Defense, Murray G. Hanks of the John Reed Club and John Brooks Wherlricht and Johanna Reed of the New Eneland Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners. Attack on Hunger March. This delegation pointed out that the timing” of the arrest of Anna Bloch as one of the leaders of the hunger march by the Department of Labor, true to its anti-working class role, was ‘calculated to disrunt’ the New England Column of the Hunger March at its starting point and to attempt to create a division between the native and foreign born workers. When the delegation presented these facts to Mrs. Tillinghast and further pointed out that by the De- partment’s own admission the war- rant against Anna Bloch had been kept for two months to be sprung at just this time, she denied this ve- hemently and stated that Anna Bloch’s whereabouts were not known previously! To this denial the del- egation replied: “This is a lie and you know it!” Defend Anna Bloch. At this point Mrs. Tillinghast be- came indignant and left the room. The delegates return to their or- ganizations to carry on the cam- paign for Comrade Bloch’s release. As part of this campaign, thous- ands of postal cards are now in cir- culation demanding that the depor- tation proceedings against Comrade Bloch be dropped. These cards should be mailed promptly to Mrs. Tillinghast. KENTUCKY WORKERS!

I am going to show the working class, both Negro and white, what organizing can do. Sometime ago a demonstration was held in front of the starvation army. The head man called the cops, who came down and tried to make the workers get away | from the demonstration. The work- ers wouldn’t move. One comrade was speaking, and the cops told him he would have to Jeut it out. We had a permit and told the cop so, but the cops tried to pull the speaker down, and then a good fight started. The workers fought back fine, and beat up some cops good, and as a result many workers came to us and are helping us carry on the work. Two comrades were thrown in fail, but they got out soon. The good thing about the demonstration is that after the starvation army read how the workers defended themselves against the cops, fhey raised the wages for the workers. They used to work ten hours a day and 7 days a week for 50c a day, and had to spend half for groceries and other | half to pay rent and clothing, which left nothing over. Now after the demonstration, what do we see: ‘We forced the starvation army to raise the wages to 80c a day and flour and wood besides. The money they can get in cash and spend it as they please. All the families they had cut off the relief list they put on again, and they are issuing food. We workers can force the wages up to $1.00 a day if we organize the workers who are working there. Now they are working only 8 hours a day. Fellow workers, don’t Jet the starv- ation army keep you at 80c, Join the Unemployed Council in your neighborhood and fight for more re- lief. Keep the good work going on. Go to Lodging House Relief Buro Tells Job- less, Evicted Worker NEW YORK CITY—A Latvian worker, 53 years old, was evicted on Tuesday from his room on Union Ave. in the Bronx, where he had lived for 24 years. He is a tailor by trade and out of work for almost three years. Last year he received relief for two months from the Bronx | Home Relief Buro and two months from the Police Relief. His wife left him, and a boy of 22 years, who lives with him, helped him pay rent some- | how when working. Now the boy is j also unemployed, so they can’t pay rent, and are also forced to go on the’ breadline for stale bread and sour soup. Last month he went with his dis- possess notice to the Home Relief and they were kind enough to advise him to put away his furniture and sleep in a lodging house. The Unemployed Council held a meeting in front of the house. A committee was elected to go with the worker to the Buro, and I was one of them. On the way the worker told of his desperate situation. He stood the whole night in the hall of his house watching his furniture. At the Relief Buro we were told to go upstairs. Here the worker was given a number to go back down- stairs. When his number was called and he told his story, the Buro told him they help mostly families with children, and he was advised once more to go and sleep in a lodging house. Cc. B.

For breakfast they get a cup of cracked wheat,’a cup of chicory and four slices of stale bread. The meal is served at 5 am. and men must wait until 5 p.m, before eating Men cannot get clothes without having their present clothes torn into rags. One suit of underwear is | all that is allowed at a time. In| order to take a bath you have to wash your underwear and this re- quires soap, and we get only enough soap to wash our faces. We haye to Stay naked until our clothes are dry. Of course if a worker gets pneu- monia he has to go to the flophouse hospital. To get to the hospital you have to go through the toilet. There you will find a small room, 50 by 100, with beds six inches apart. Regard- less of the patient’s condition he gets only a pill or dose of salts, The sleeping place is one of the filthiest things in the whole building. ‘There you will find lice, bedbugs and roaches. It is never cleaned. The only place that is cleaned is the rec- reation room. We are only allowed to clean this place on Sundays. The flophouse workers, under the leadership of the Unemployed Coun- cils, calls upon the men to help them fight for the following: 1, three open forums a week; 2, three meals a day; 3, better hospital con- ditions; 4, recognition of grievance committees; 5, no discrimination; 6, abolish forced. labor.

Y—A Negro family was brought from Tennessee last year by the landlord at 1575 Wash- ington Ave. to work as superin- tendent for him. The family, by the name of Parker, were given all kinds of promises by him. Recently the family were told to move from their miserable hole in the basement, mis- named an apartment. In addition, the landlord refused to pay Parker stveral months wages due to him. Through the activities of the Claremont Parkway Block Committee the plight of this Negro family was circulated throughout the house. It is well to mention that at first the Parkers were not clear as to the motives of the white tenants, who are all workers, but this was ex- plained to them. With their permis- sion, a member of the Block Com- mittee went to the landlord and de- manded the payment of back wages to Parker and that they be given an opportunity to move, since they wanted to return to Tennessee. The landlord was told that unless Parker was given satisfaction the entire house would refuse to pay rent. The landlord, afraid of the work- ers, paid Parker. The Block Com- mittee regard this not only as a vic- tory, but as an example of the grow- ing solidarity of white and Negro. A. S. Worker Denied Aid Four Times; Council Wins It_ For Him ROCHESTER, N. Y.—Last week a worker came into our branch of the Unemployed Council at Joiner St. with a sad story. He had been mar- ried five months and his wife was in the family way. He had been out of work for a long time and had been living on his parents>but they soon could not keep him, so he was forced to go to the relief here. Four times he appeared at the re- lief and four times he was refused. They treated him shamefully, and told him to go back to his father, regardless of the fact that his father was trying to support his own large family on $1.30. When he told us the story, we took action at once. We sent down a committee to the charities and de- manded relief. No details needed— he ended up by receiving a food check; coal, rent, a stove and a kero- sene lamp, whereas before he was actually starving. Not only did we accomplish this, but at the next meeting our mem- bership in the Unemployed Council was doubled. Worker, Alone, Fails to Get Relief; Unemployed Wins Relief for Destitute Worker Series of Relief Struggles and Achievements Shows Organization Is Only Way PUEBLO, Colo—In this city a pol- icy was instituted, that if you re- ceived any relief from the Family Service Society, which is a branch of the nationally famous Community Chest (which»is famous only for its Jim-Crowing, discriminating and money grabbing), you would not be eligible to receive relief from the R. F. C. This policy was put in ef- fect so that the Family Service could cut you off at any time. Then, when you applied for relief at the R. F. C. they would tell you that they could do nothing for you, as you were a Family Service charge. Not long after this policy was put in affect, the Unemployed Councils came across a fellow worker whom the Family Service claimed had be- come a chronic case and had been on their books since 1923. But this worker produced an income tax re- ceipt which showed he had paid in- come tax in the state of Nebraska in 1925, He also had bills of lading that proved he shipped peaches from the western part of this state in 1930. But the relief agency would not even look at these. They also notified the R. F. C. not to do anything for this man, The next day the Unemployed Council organized a committee to call on Mr. Peabody, who heads the R. F. ©. hére. In his office he had a stormy session with the committee, but told them he would absolutely do nothing for this man. ‘Then the ittee went to the Arthur & Allen Construction Co. Mr. Allen, who ts a member by ap- pointment on the Governor’s Rélief Committee, said he would write the governor concerning the case. But to this day we have received no word from this source. This case surely looked like a complete freeze out. But recently a committee from one of the East Side Councils again pre- sented this case and were successful in getting this man relief. But they put up a hard fight. One comrade made a few remarks and the workers’ “friend,” Mrs. Hill, had the police throw him out. But the committee's mission was a success. This is hailed as a victory, due to the fact that the relief heads said that Comrade Bar- tek would get no relief regardless of what was done. This is one of a series of relief struggles won here. This goes to show that organizing in the Unemployed Councils will keep the relief mongers in their place. They have a higher regard for the workers when they are organized.

Whitmans Candy Co. donated 3,200 boxes of candy, weighing \% lb. each, so that each man could have a box of it. But the homeless men only received 4-5 pieces of plain caramel, the nut and cream was sorted out for the stool-pigeon guards, who re- ceived 5 lbs, of candy every one of them. The men also were given a@ cigar and one apple. The latter was worth more than everything else given to them, including the ser- mons. The Christmas supper consisted of one tablespoonful of mashed sweet potatoes, crushed corn and cranberry sauce with a piece of pie. The men might have enjoyed it if they would have had more of it, Fifty of the men received shoes. Most of them are yet barefooted and when they ask the guard for shoes they are told to see Mr. Cox, who has to O.K, the order for shoes and cloth- ing. ‘This is the way workers are being treated at the christian home for homeless men.

Drive On| Vets Continues WASHINGTON, Jan. 5—New Schemes to swindle the tens of thou- sands of disabled war veterans are cropping up constantly, The latest is the proposal made yesterday by Congressman Clifton A. Woodrum, chairman of the House Veterans Ap- propriations Subcommittee, to give a 10 per cent cut for the coming year to all veterans getting disability pay- ments or army and navy pensions, This would mean a $85,000,000 slash, While the chiefs of the American Legion, under pressure of the rank and file, are pretending to oppose cuts in the disability payments, but confining themselves to a battle of words, a real opposition is being or- ganized on a militant united front basis of members of all veterans’ or- Banizations, as well as unattached vets, around the program adopted at the bonus marchers’ conference held in Washington Dec. 8. Immediate payment of the bonus without a cent off the disability allowances is the demand of this nation-wide move- ment, which is being organized in the various cities in connection with the fight for winter relief for the| unemployed vets. Force Trial of Penn. ‘Relief’ Official in $90,000 Fund Steal | SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 5.—The | squander of funds by grafting “re- | lief” officials was exposed to the last | rotten detail in the case of George L. Davis, Blakely Poor Director, in Lackawana County, who squandered $90,000 among members of his own | family. a So great was the outburst of pro- test by the starving miners and their families in this district, that the authorities were forced to bring Davis to trial. At the court hearing before Judge Samuel Shull, Davis grudgingly admitted how he boosted his own salary from $1,000 to $3,000 ® year es Poor Director, although he | conducted his ice business at the | same time, and how he took $240 from the relief funds for “rent” be- cause the directors sometimes met But this was only part of the squander, Close and distant reia- tions of Davis, including Josh New- ton described as his “52nd cousin” received countless relief orders of $4 to $10 each. Practically all of these have independent incomes and did | not need any relief. In addition, it | was disclosed, Davis “employed” two | of his daughters “to assist with cler- | ical work,” whom he paid $150 each. | Much of the actual squandor has | been hidden by Davis through out- | right destruction of records, and | fabrication of false records.

WASHINGTON, Jan 5.—While the House is debating the Jones bill, e guise of raising farm prices, actually plans to foist a super-sales tax on both farmers and workers, new farm “relief” projects are being hatched. Instead of a moratorium on all farm mortgages, taxes and rents, which impoverished farmers throughout the country are demanding. three so-called refinanc- ing schemes were proposed in the House yesterday. Instead of casi relief to the starv- ing farmers, one such bill proposes a loan by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation—with interest at 4 per cent—to the extent of 50 per cent of the indebtedness on the mort- gage. If the farmer can persuade the mortgage-holder to take 50 per cent, O. K., otherwise he’s out of luck, Pa.
