VET LEADS FIGHT VS. | COPS IN RELIEF STATION | CHICAGO, Il.—Albany Park con- sists of. white collar workers and! storekeepers. A year ago our six or- ganizations met in a small basement; today we have a center in an office building and we have thirteen dif- ferent organizations meeting here now. We also have a library, kitchen well equipped, and in the main hall we have leetures, dances, etc. Our Unemployed Council has grown to over 300 members in six months time. We are recognized in the Relief Stations on the North Side. We have a different committee of 3, going to each Relief Station every day to take up cases that are urgent. These committees force the supervisor to act on ail cases pre- sented by the Council the same day. It happened that one week the committee was thrown out of the Relief Station every day. So on Jan. 6th, a committee of fifteen went to} the Relief Station. When the super- visor saw the large committee, she) told the spokesman that she would recognize the Council and she pleaded with him not to start any trouble in the station. Everything went along well till about two in the afternoon, when we heard a commotion on the other side of the station. We all rushed over there just in time to see a woman striking the assistant supervisor in the face. She then yelled to the un- employed in the statjon: “I'm an American citizen, born and raised here and I'll be damned if I will Jet them starve my children, I have been coming here over a month to get food for my chijdren and that dirty Miss Walters tells me that my case has been transferred to another station. The supervisor came over and in- structed the policeman there and othey case workers to throw her out. The policeman tried to use his club but we closed in on him. One of our young Unemployed Council members | got up on a bench and spoke to the workers there to organize and not to let the tools of the capitalists throw a woman out who had the nerve to stand up and fight for her starving children, All the office work- ers and the policeman surrounded | the speaker and tried to drag him off, but one of our committeemen, 6 feet tall, an ex-seryiceman, grabbed | one of the case workers and said: | “If you are looking for a fight we will give it to you.” By this time all the unemployed workers in the station yelled, “We are with you.” In 2 minutes there were about 50 policemen with clubs and guns drawn, rushed in; nobody moyed, The supervisor called our spokesman over and begged him to restore order and the police would be withdrawn. We all sat down and the police left. We sent a committee of four with this woman to the other Relief ; ation and got her results immediately.

LOS ANGELES — Conditions in some of the army barracks are far from what one would think they would be in a country supposed to be the richest on earth. It is true that there are some new buildings built that are showed to visitors when conditions are asked about. Why not show some of the old war-time buildings whose boards have dried out leaving cracks and whose floors are in @ condition seldom seen in a barn. A good bit of the time, windows are out and in the winter the most that can be said is that there is geod ventilation. T have served in several states and camps and as yet have not been in one that furnishes enough heat for comfort. Not only the buildings, but at most any meal one can find “re- enlisted” food er that food that is set out time and again in an effert to make us eat it. It isnt rare to find the same food being served as was four days ago—orten in many dis- guises. Why should it cost a dollar or more a day to feed one man (cam- niissioned of course) and only thirty- two cents a day to feed another (enlisted). Isn't the body of one re- quiring of food as the other? Why so much difference jn food and quart- ers when all are working for the same government and for the same purpose? The enlistment posters say “Barn- Learn, and Travel.” After a private pays his laundry and other required “up keep” where dees the “Earn” come in? Maybe im the after hours that he is often asked or ordered to work—with no eytra pay. “Learn’ comes next; yes they have schools, but many wait for five and six years before his opportunity for School arrives, and while you do go to school you do regular duty in the hours you are not in the class room. “Travel”—where?

S. Post Office, and is on file in many public libparies. He pointed out that the International Labor Defense already had filed notice of appeal against the sentence, and demanded that bail of $1,000 be accepted for his release. Judge Thomas refused to fix any bail, and threatened Herndon with a death sentence if the brutal chain gang sentence is appealed, declaring that as an appeal might “result in the defendant’s being given a capital sentence,” no bail would be set. That this action was agreed on in advance between the court and the prosecu- tion is seen in the failure of the court to even ask the attorneys for the State to present legalistic arguments against the demands of the defense for Herndon’s release on bail. ‘The defense of Herndon is enlist- ing a constantly increasing number of local organizations and individuals, both Negro and white. Attorney A. W. Morrison, brilliant young southern lawyer, has volunteered his services to the defense and is now associated with Geer and Davis, Negro lawyers whose work in the trial established the basis for an appeal, and exposed the barring of Negroes from jury} service during the past 30 years and the character of the trial as an at- tack on the Negro masses and the} Communist Party, which is leading the struggles of white and Negro toilers. SENATORS YELL “BRITISH PLOT” mands of the State Hunger Mareh. The conference elected a commit- tee of 100 to go to the county welfare board here and demand that the commissaries be left open until the county begins to pay $10 weekly cash relief to the unemployed. ‘The committee of 100 will also de- mand that the county provide trucks and gas and oil for them, as well as food, for the hunger marchers. In. case these demands are not granted, the conference call; for a county demonstration within ten days to bring pressure ‘on the county officials. Splitters Fail. The conference was united and harmonious with the single excep- tion that an attempt to split it was made by Murray, the ex-I. W. W., ex-chairman of the U. C. L. This in- dividual injected a motion that the State Hunger Marchers be allowed to carry no banners “of a political nature”. A tremendous majority voted down that motion, whereupon Murray and Rowan and a few others bolted the conference and called on delegates to follow them out. Only a minor portion of the delegations from two locals of the U. C. L. did follow them, and the desertion did not interfere with the work of the conference.
