Although they found two patrol wagons and a squad of police waiting the workers undaunted formed a line two abreast and started marching around the bureau. The attack came when a committee of three elected by present their demands were stopped and Louise Morrison arrested.

They are taking action to enforce their demands for the right to a decent living. In answer to the call of the Unemployed Councils, the unemployed have been massing in the local Home Relief Bureau offices, loudly voicing their demands and refusing to leave until these are granted. Picket lines have been thrown around the relief offices and have continued to demon- strate the protest and demands of the workers in spite of the most vici- ous attacks let loose by the Tammany government to suppress the out- cry against homelessness and hunger. In Williamsburg, half a dozen workers who refused fo leave the Bu- | Yeau and who remained there throughout the night with the support of | their neighbors, forced the Home Relief Bureau to pay the rent in spite of previous repeated refusals. In Coney Islend, over 20 families secured their rent by similar action, In Manhattan and the Bronx, the Home Relief Bureaus were forced to revoke the “no rent” order in cases of work- ers participating in these militant actions. In Harlem, struggles against the marshal and the restoring of workers’ furniture to their homes hast- ened a change of front on the part of the relief officials and payment of rent to Negro families who are being the hardest hit by the city’s relief- slashing program. Now the immediate need is to extend and multiply these partial vic- tories until not a single man, woman or child in the city of New York | shall be without sufficient food, clothing or shelter. This requires the broadest mobilization of all forces in the struggle for rent and increased relief to be drawn from every block and neighborhood, from every union, club and unemployed organization, bringing together in common action all workers regardless of race, color, creed, nationality or political opinion. The Unemployed Council of Greater New York has called for the mass- ing of workers in every Boro at their respective Boro Home Relief offices tomorrow morning, 11 a.m. Rally the workers of your house, of your neighborhood!

The very announcement of this |fact should rouse the bitter anger of the whole workingclass of New York. No one can, no one dares to remain passive in the face of this monstrous dismemberment and disrupticn of the families and homes of not less than half a million men, women and chil- dren. The indignation and resent- ment of the whole of the New York workingclass must find expression in a mighty storm and wave of strug- gle that will overwhelm the bankers | who ordered this attack and the Tammany adminis! nm, the Mayor, the judges, the hals and police who are carrying out this order. By refusing to pay rent the ‘ammany grafiers aim not only to save the amounts immediately in- volved, but to reduce the “relief | load” by setting these families com- | pletely adrift. Relicf is ray given only to “domiciled” familic This means only to families wiio have a home. When a family is evicted, when the furniture and belongings of such family is carted off to the municipal storage house, when {i can no longer establish a domicile (home) it is not entitled to relief according to the relief regulations. Each mem- | ber of the family is then driven to @ different institution or flop-house. The father is sent to the Men's Lodge (flop-house), the mother to the Women’s “Shelter” and the chil- dren to some institution.
