And this fall would have been far greater if Thursday’s do- nations had not risen some- what above the previous days’ average, New York still leads all districts in per centage of its quota achieved, with 38 per cent. But here it must be stated that New York's increase over the last tabulation is very small, only 3.1 per cent. New York do- nated only $366.39, as compared with the previous half-weeks $730.32. In other words, contributions from the New York District declined by one- half! Buffalo, with 25.1 per cent, is in second place, although Connecticut is creeping up on it, with 248. As it stands, Connecticut succeeded in forg- ing ahead of Boston, which dropped to fourth place, with 22.6 per cent of its quota achieved. uf Pittsburgh’s 20.5 per cent keeps it in fifth place in the ratings, Altogether, only 20 per cent of the entire national quota has been achieved after more than one month of the financial drive.

The government is ‘econo- , mizing,’ and even for such semi- So | militaristic purposes, the government. | is spending no money. But when Se- nator Couzens, the ‘progressive’ made jan amedfent to the army appropria- | tion bill, it was adopted without dis- Loo | cussion, “The homeless youth, 88,000 strong to begin with, will be put into the army. They must have been unem- ployed for at least 6 months, and be from 15 to 21 years of age. The senator is beginhing early with the boys of this country. 15 years of age he aa already in the army! “The purpose of militarizing these F262! homeless youth is to prepare them not only for the war that is already raging, and into which the U. S. imperialist government will soon plunge with full force. But there is one other purpose: to use these boys against the workers in the shops whc go out on strike and against the un- employed. “The bill now comes before the U. S. House of Representatives and there | is grave danger that it will be rush- ed through before March 4th. “The Unemployed Councils should immediately: 1, Adopt resolutions protesting a- | gainst this bill as well as against the whole war appropriations. Send these resolutions to your congressman, Washington, D. C. 2. Get all working class organi- zations to adopt resolutions. 3, Arrange meetings and demon- strations on this issue, getting in touch with the Young Communist League, which is conducting a joint struggle for the rights and interests of the homeless youth. 4.

But is the struggle to live very pretty?” Nailing a Prejurer A bought and paid-for witness, John De Christerero, that District Attorney Frank had put on the stand in the morning, said that he, as the barber's helper, had seen Weinstein come into the barber shop not before 7 a. m. as the defense stated but at 8:30 as the prosecution wished him te state. Under Brodsky’s cross ex- amination though he forgot when to stop talking and said he also saw Weinstein come into the shop several times during the following two weeks At this time Weinstein was in jail. Brodsky told the jury, “The district attorney’s office is not yet taking prisoners back to their old barber |shops to take a shave!” $8 a Week Frank had tried to paint Harris, organizer of the Furniture Workers Industrial Union as a “stcharker,” or strong arm man. “Strong arm guys don’t work for $8 a week—idealists work for that,” said Brodsky.
