Not only | will the fight for relief be carried | into the shops by the employed workers in the effort to compel the employers to assume the burden of relief for the jobless, but simultane- ously a fight will be made for higher wages, better conditions on ‘the job, against lay-offs, against the share- the-work, etc. These demands will receive power- ful support through the unemployed by means of mass actions, demon- strations and picket duty in time of strike. In the same way a campaign will be developed inside of the Un- fons to stop expulsions of unemploy- ed members by the corrupt official- dom who are destroying the Unions and giving direct aid to the em- ployers in spreading the open- -shop and eliminating the Union scale of wages. Fight On Evictions Every possible effort will be made by the Committee to secure the co- operation of its members and all un- emploved workers in the work of strengthening neithborhood Unem- ployed Councils now waging strug- gies against evictions. A great number of successful re- lief struggles were reported at the conference. These stucessses have been achieved by the Unemployed Councils and the revolutionary un- jong affiliated with the T.U.U.C. The Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union reported the most important extensive victories in the fight for unemployment relief which it con- ducted on a united front basis. The general rogram outlined in the conference ircludes the following points: 1. To raise the struggle for un- employment relief towards a continu- ally higher level, with the demand for Social Insurance as the objec- tive 2. nation. work To fight all forms of discrimi- particularly against Negro , in the allotment of relief. ; To extend the struggle for re- lief on the broadest possible united front basis under rank-and-file lead- | ership. 4. To develop the struggle against | evirtinng, by means of rent-strikes and strengthening neighborhood or- ganizations. 5. To carry the fight for relief in- to the shops and unions, and to forge solidarity between the employed and unemployed workers. 6.

But in this} instance, that is merely one reason | why this organization that feeds the masses capitalist poison in coated words, has not said one in protest against the damnable conditions in Harlem Hospital. The same Dr. Wright, who di criminates against and allows white inexperienced doctors to operate on Negro patients ,is on the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P! He is the close personal friend of Walter White. The silence of the N. A. A. C.

The League of Struggle for Negro Righits at 50 East 13th Street, and the International Labor Defense of 799 Broadway will lead a determined struggle against discrimination and oppression of Negroes in the Harlem Hospital and against such practices in all hospitals of the city. Deaths in New York City Rise NEW YORK.—It's the worker who Pays—pays with his own life! The payment is squeezed out of him through the sharpening of the crisis, the increase of unemployment and starvation, vicious exploitation. Shirley W. Wynne, M.D., Dr., P.H., Health Commissioner of New York, himself tells you this in a report just released by his department. Deaths from all causes rose to the week ending last Saturday, January 7, an increase of 100 as compared with the preceding week. In the corresponding week of 1932 the total deaths numbered 1,663. New pneumonia cases rose to 1,007 last. week, as against 687 the week before, and deaths from that cause showed a gain of 45. New influenza cases last week numbered 794, or 45 more than the week before. | figures are, dren—they | that these organizations “handle,” ANNOUNCE 64 PER! Workers’ Mayor CENT OF HARLEM WORKERS JOBLESS [Only Tells Half Depth of Misery of Negro Families in N. Y. NEW YORK.—Joblessness, starva- tion and misery ,have hit Harlem’s workers harder than all the other workers of New York. Eighty per cent of the he®ds of families in Harlem have no steady | work, ‘ty-four per cent of the men in Harlem are jobless. Behind these dry figures, given out few days ago by the New York Urban League, there is revealed a depth of misery and suffering that is unequalled in any other section of the city. We must know, first, that these without doubt, far too low. The Urban League, one of the organizations heartily approved by he white ruling class, has always ried to shed a rosy light on the mis- ery of the Negro workers. Eighty per cent—four out of every. e heads of families without work. ‘our out of every five men, women nd children in Harlem. arving. Depths of Misery The New York Urban Leagin, the American Red Cross, the Em¢gency Unemployment Relief Committee, are reported to be handling more than 1,000 applications daily. This fact does not even begin to reveal the depth of r ry of the Harlem work- € All of these organizations regu- ly turn applicants away, on any or none. They are single— are married but without chil- haven’t lived long enough in the community. Now still other barriers are being raised: lack of ‘hurch membership, affiliation with the Unemployed Council, and so on. For every thousand applications we may be sure that there are other tho! ds of workers who apply but cannot be “handled,” or who are too discouraged even to appl From January to November, the Urban League reports, four to five hundred jobless came to the offices of the League daily, seeking help. In November, the number suddenly doubled. (The new applicants, ap- parently, had little faith in the idea that Roosevelt's election would put bread in their mouths and a roof over their heads. This was at the very time when the “prophets” said that the turn had already begun.) The Urban League reports that there are not many evictions taking place in Harlem, that landlords have been “lenient.” The Unemployed Council of Harlem can vouch that this is a lie. Evictions are almost a daily occurrence in Harlem. E “Doubling Up” “Only by doubling up,” reports the Urban League, “can a great propor- tion of the Harlem population sub- sist.’ What does this! “doubling up” mean? The wages of Harlem work- ers are the lowest of any worker in the city—when they have work! At the same time, the rents they must pay are higher than workers any- where alse pay for the same accomo- dation. That is because the Harlem workers are forced by the system of Jim-Crowism to live in @ segregated | area, where blood-sucking landlords th | can gouge from them more rent than from white workers for similar apart- ments. Therefore many Harlem fam- ilies can meet this higher rent out | of lower income only by taking lod- gers, or by doubling up, two or three jor even more families together. That has always been the situa- tion in Harlem. But the crisis has intensified it a hundred-fold. How is a jobless family to meet rent of $30, $40 and $50 a month—for the most miserable apartment? The only hope is by further overcrowding. We know what this means in the way of sanitation and health. Why is the situation in Harlem worse than in any other section of the city? While workers are being cut off everywhere, the Negro work- ers in every frade are the hardest hit. On the docks, in the needle trades, in the laundries, the Negro workers are losing ground first and fastest. Discrimination The relief agencies openly discri- minate against Negroes. The Gib- son committee gave out instructions, some time back, that appropriations for Negroes and foreign-born were to be cut down. Smaller amounts of re- lief, a larger number of applicants turned away, intense abuse at the re- lief stations—that is what the un- employed of Harlem are up against. Only the most intense activity of the Negro and white masses, under the leadership of the Communist Party and the Unemployed Council, can help the Negroes of Harlem through what will unquestionably be the most bitter winter of the crisis. Help picket the nearest rent strike! Help stop evictions!

He repeated his pledge to carry out the working class program of demands on which he was elected. “You have for the first time in the history of the United States elected a Communist mayor, “Nygard declared. “For the first time a ma- jority of the workers in an American city have broken through capitalist laws, rules, and regulations and elected a revolutionary worker as mayor, Some day there will be erec- ted here a monument, not to me, but to the workers of Crosby, who have blazed the path along which mil- lions of American workers in thous- ands of American cities are soon to follow, the path of revolutionary struggle against capitalism of which Parliamentary action is only a part.” Nygard sketched the course of the deepening crisis, and thé constantly increasing misery of masses of work- ers through wage cuts and unem- Ployment, and pointed out the neces- sity of struggle against these condi- tions. “The financiers and industrialists,” he continued, “are unconcerned about the sufferings of the masses. They will make further attacks upon the living standards of the WOxKers, | until the workers organize to call a} halt and say ‘We refuse to starve,.” Nygard appealed to the workers to organize into the Unemployed Coun- cil and formulate their relief de- mands; and he would give official Tecognition to their committees. He also declared immediate steps would be taken to organize a Workers’ Ad- visory Council, representing workers’ organizations, to meet with him on questions of policy, and promised to call. frequent mass meetings of workers to discuss their problems with them, Comrade Nygard will lead a dele- gation of Crosby miners on the State Hunger March to St. Paul in Feb-' ruary, demanding state aid for the relief of the unemployed workers of Crosby, and ‘unemployment insur- b | Huang Ping and demanding his im- | Kuomintang is allied with imperial- | Demonstration _ Demands Release For Huang Ping | ConTIN UED FROM PAGE ONE) demand that this torture cease, and that Huang Ping be released im- madiately. “We declare that we are not fool- ed by the evasive cable of Marshal Chang Hsiao Liang.

In addition, special articles have been printed exposing some of the loo’ f workers and hypocrisy of the employers. Among these were exposures of the I. R. T. wage cutting schemes, the Gibson Committee swindle, and the ruthless butchery of Harlem Hospital. In the course of developing these things, the national and international news suffered for lack of space. The city edjtor’s problem now is to find a way to give the New York read- ers the main stories of the world struggle against imperialist war, the whole series of actions and impor- tant developments outside of New York. Any suggestions will be con- sidered. In any case, the policy of giving as full city news as possible and continuing exposures must go on. ... More Reporters Needed Volunteer reporters are still needed, with also reporters elected.from the mass organizations to be especially responsible for news of events with which those organizations are con- cerned. Circulation Arrangements are being made through the District Daily Worker office and city committee to work up special sales of issues of the paper in which special stories appear. Or- ganizations of all sorts are invited to consult with the District Daily Worker office on these distributions, and the city editor will co-operate. Training Reporters Arrangements have been made for the journalism class of the Workers School to devote the last half of its course to what might be called “lab- oratory work” in the Daily Worker office; the city editor to assign the students in groups to important stories, all to report back to the in- structor, who will hand over the best of the reports to the Daily Worker, and hold a discussion on all of them. The journalism class has held one writing, feature writing, fundamen- tals of newspaper make-up. It will be very useful to new reporters. But if you haven't time for the class, volunteer anyway. If you are a ty] ist, volunteer for clerical and re-write work, Meetings By our City Events column on the front page, and Labor Union Meet- ings and What's On columns on Page 2, we seek to avoid printing news stories of meetings. Each or- ganization in New York apparently regards its meeting as the most im- portant thing there is, and asks for news space. Were we to print all these news stories of meetings, there would be no room left for anything else, the paper would become merely an advertising sheet, and nobody would read it. This would defeat even the purpose of those asking news space for their meetings. In certain extremely important cases only can we make exceptions to this rule, Stage and Screen Marcella Swanson is now playing Patricia Calvert’s role in “Autumn Crocus” at the Morosco Theatre. Cora Witherspoon, Donald Mace Donald and Nancy Ryan are new additions to “Forsaking All Others,” a new play by Edward Roberts and Frank Cavett which Arch Selwyn will stage next month.
