The Trade Union Unity Council is the central delevate hodv of scores of fighting unions and leacues in New York City. It includes the heroic Needle Trades Workers Indus- trial Union which has in a whole series of battles recently forced boss after boss to establish union condi- tions and raise wa7es. The N.T.W. LU. has forced through the first case on record of a whole association of emnloyers being made to provide the fun?s for unemnloyment insurance without expense to the workers, but with administration of the fund by the workers, Als» affilioted with the T.U.U.C. are the Food Workers Industrial Union, Metal.

On the first day of the call io the conference, Secretary Potash of the Needle Workers Industriel Un- ion pledged the full support of that union. All others in the T.U.U.C. will surelv do likewise. “We call not only for formal en- dorsement, but for active and ener- getic support of the conference. Ali unions and workers’ organizations shovld send delegates to the preli- minary conference on arran7ements of the state conference.” The preli- minary conference will meet Jan. 22 at 2 p.m. in Irving Plaza Hall. Alexander Hoffman, general or- ganizer of the Needle Trades Work- ers Uremnloyed Counc'l, which carries on a continuous demand on the G‘hson committee for more jebs and no d'scrimination azainst Necrces, hailed the call for the Albany Corference. “Our struggles have convinced us that throuvh them we can achieve results,” he said.

We call on all un- employed workers’ organizations particularily to come to the front in sumport of this conference, and to take part in the preliminary conference Yan. 21 in New York.” Type of Bills An indication of the type of legis- lation the Albany, conference will consider is seen from the proposal of the New York State A.

No Tax On Workers That bill specified unemployment insurance guaranteering the average wages in the respective industries, but in no case to be less than $10 a week for adult workers, $3 extra for dependents, for the entire period of unemployment. It called for no discrimination of any sort, whether for age, race, na- tionality, color or political opinion. It demanded the costs be borne entirely by the employer and the government, with the present war furds placed in the insurance fund. For part time workers, the pro- posal is enough insurance benefit to make up their income to what it would be with” the full unemploy- ment benefit paid’ And it provided for payments for sickness, old age, accident and maternity. ers International Relief Band Worfi- Poa the Workers Music League | ers Choruses or hundreds of voices f the Work- will sing at both places.

Gold was sentenced to 40 days in jail and a $50 fine; Sagmov and Carl- son each were sentenced to three months in prison and fined $100. The case grew out of the ‘brutal police clubbing and gassing of de- fenseless men, women and children when the Hunger March stopped over night in Wilmington—the metropolis of the Du Pont munitions and che- mical dynasty. It was a kept judge, a bought and paid for jury of run- ning dogs for the Du Pont war pro- fiteers that convicted the workers’ leaders, as part of the attempt to keep the workers of Delaware from organization and fight against the hunger and war program of the Wall Street government at Washington and Du Pont’s government in De- laware, GAIN PROMISE OF, NEW GIBSON JOBS Result of Vigorous Demand by Jobless NEW YORK —The Gibson Com- mittee office at 23rd St. and Fourth Ave., called Organizer Hoffman of th2 Central Committee Calls for Support of “Daily” IOMRADES! without the Daily Worker?» Do you fu With mass upheavals shaking»the capi workers and farmers ofthe United States Statement by the Central Committee, Communist Party of U.S.A Have you ever considered what would be the condition of our movement ly realize what the “Daily” means to you? italist structure to its foundations, with the | showing in action an increased determination to fight against capitalism, the “Daily” is now needed more than ever. But at this moment of new battles between classes and states, in this period of transi- tion to a new round of wars and revolutions, the Daily Worker faces the danger of sus- pension. Within the next few weeks there must be raised $85,000. This campaign is of major importance—it must be made an inseparable part of all our campaigns. Bread for the Hungry At this time in the United States there is one great problem that faces the workers, a problem that overshadows all others—bread for the hungry. The capitalists say we shall starve rather than cut down any part of their profits. They refuse unemployment relief, they scorn unemployment insurance demands. But they at the same time fear the increasing upsurge of the mass struggles against hunger that are cover- ing this country from coast to coast and from Canada to the Gulf. They use their capitalist newspapers and their socialist newspaper supporters to sow. il- lusions, to try to’dupe the workers into patiently wait- ing and starving. They use every weapon of publicity to defeat the growing mass struggle against hunger and for jobs and bread. When, under pressure, the bosses and their government talk about unemployment insurance, it is only because they have to use new tricks to fool the workers. In the same way the boss press tries to cover up the. war conspiracies of American imperial- ism. By talking pacifism they try’ to make us believe that the actions of the United States in the war-torn zones of the world are dictated by a desire for peace; they try to cover up the fact that these actions are part of the preparations for a more monstrous, a more criminal war than the world has ever seen. Only “Daily” Fights for Toilers Against the capitalist attempts.to get out of their crisis by putting into effect their: hunger and war program, there is one daily paper in English Janguage that fights to defend the inte of the toiling masses. The Daily Worker is a. fighting, revo- Tutionary paper. Never, in any struggle, has the to defeat capitalism the Daily Worker is indis- pensable.

Exposes War Preparations You must fight against the encroachment of the American government against other coun- tries, like the Philippines, Porto Rico, Cuba, the Hawaiian Islands, the Chinese Republic and others. The Daily Worker shows you how the government is preparing for war against other nations, in the first place against the Soyiet Union, where the workers rule. You must fight against discrimination and abuses heaped upon foreign-born workers. The Daily Worker explains to you the meaning of labor unity and helps unite all workers of whatever origin to fight against boss oppression and boss rule.

The workers’ movement is making head- way in all centers. Explodes Government Reports. The optimistic reports of yesterday are’ shot to pieces by the. reports coming from all parts today, which show increased sharpening of class confl'cts. The civil guards have re- resorted to defensive guerilla warfare inasmuch, as in a number. of. places they have given up attempts, to de- feat the whole rebel force and con- centrate on murder drives against individuals. At Casas Viejas these tuards discovered that one of the working class fighters was alone in his home, so they surrounded the vlace and raked it with machine gun fire and gas attacks, murdering the entire family consisting of the worker, his wife and three children.

It is for this reason that the Cén- tral Committee has decided to throw all the resources of the Party into the present campaign, and to rally Mass support in tens of thousan¢s to prevent thé Daily Worker from going under. This campaign cannot and MUST NOT fall short of iis goal. At least $35,000 must be raised ifthe workers’ fighting “Daily” is to live. Comes in Midst of Great Struggles. The |present campaign is ‘being launched at the moment when the ninth anniversary of the Daily Worker is being celebratéd. It comes at a time when a new wave of wars and revolutions, strikes and heroic Mass struggles is sweeping over the capitalist world. Imperialist wars rage in the far east and So. America. In Spain, in India, in Argentina the masses are engaged in revolu- tionary uprisings. In the Unitéd States a new series of mass struggles has started. The heroic struggle of the miners of southern Illinois, the strike of 509 Detroit < ito workers against a 20 per cent wage cut, thé struggles against wage slashes now being organized by the steel and railroad workers; the fight of the unemployed for relief and unémployment insurance in the various cities of the country; the new. awakening of «the.
