Mr.——, a cabinet maker on the lower East Side has had his gas turned off for more than a year. During the summer he has the pros- pect of watching his aging wife cook meals on a coal stove, the heat of which turns the small, badly venti- lated apartment into a little hell. Indigestion and stomach ailments of every variety are becoming daily more common among the children of Home Relief Bureau clients as a re-| sult of gas turn-offs. If a client of the Home Relief Bu- reau wants a doctor he must com- municate with his investigator or} with the bureau supervisor. If the bureau thinks the case is urgent enough, it begins to unravel an end-| less roll of red tape out of which a doctor materializes about 24 hours later. overworked and underpaid investi- gators often fail to provide doctors when they are asked for and many clients refrain from asking for med- ical help except in extreme cases. | In the spring of 1932 the Welfare | | Council of New York City published | ping the results of a survey conducted to show the mental effects of unem- ployment on its victims. The im- | Portant effects listed were: “Discouragement, fear, depression, desperation—often to the point of actual crime. “Mental and nervous disturbances ranging from irritability and exces- sive worry up to serious neurological conditions. “Constant fear, even when again employed.” But what about the physical ef- ects? Eyen in “Coolidge Prosperity” days | there were eight cases of starvation in Bellevue Hospital alone. In 1930 the number of hunger victims in- creased to 50. In 1931 three city hos- pitals reported the admission of 143 starvation cases out of which 25 were fatal. Death by Starvation. “Better Times” organ of the New) York Welfare Council declared last year that malnutrition resulting from| lack of the right food or insufficient food over a long period of time is becoming steadily wider spread. The article also declared that many per- sons died of diseases which need not have been fatal if the victims had not been in a starving condition when | they contracted the disease. These facts, figures, case histories are only the more grewsomely, col- ored fragments in the gigantic capi- talist-made misery on view in the richest city of the world. Here we have but a vague outline of the eco- nomic scenery in Mr. Morgan's back yard. There is only one bright spot in the picture. ‘The growth of the Unem- ployed Councils and the growing un- derstanding by the jobless that their only escape from a life based on starvation doles is organized strug- gle for high relief standards, a fight for the adoption of unemployment in- surance.

Jobless Convention Sun. in Williamsburg NEW YORK.—A number of organ- izations and block committees have promised to send delegates to the Unemployed Convention called by the Williamsburgh Unemployed Council to discuss policy, achievement, short comings of the council and to elect new leadership. Among the organizations who will send delegates is the Old Glory War Veterans’ Association, Russian Work- ers’ Club, Women’s Council and a Negro church. The convention will be held at Vienna Mansion, 105 Mont- rose Ave., Sunday, June 11, at 10 am. One of those who will be at the convention is Peter Reynolds, 29, a paralytic who was starving with his blind sister and mother when a dele-~ gation of the Williamsburgh Council forced the Home Relief Bureau to have his father, Joseph, reinstated on a relief job from which he was laid off. By ALLEN JOHNSON IN the two years that have elapsed since the white ruling class con- demned the nine Scottsboro boys to death on the traditional pretext of rape, an historical change has taken place in the South. The white workers, without whose aid the Negroes cannot emancipate themselves, are also beginning to realize that their own release from the hell of capitalism depends on a mutual struggle with the Negro peo- ple aganist the common enemy, and among them too an epochal change has taken place in the past two years. Countless instances of this his- torical change could be cited, In Montgomery, Ala., the feudal capital of the Black Belt, the writer, a few days ago, sitting in an automobile, asked a passing Negro worker to di- rect him to another part of the city. After thanking him, the writer asked him if he had heard of the Scotts- boro case. Of course, he had. And had he heard of the International Labor Defense. Without hesitation, the Negro replied: “Have I heard of it? Why I'm a member of it and I don’t care who knows it even if I go to jail for it this minute.” For a Negro worker in the Black Belt to tell this to a white man he has never seen before, especially since only a few days before the city gov- ernment in Montgomery had passed || what is almost certainly the most arrogantly vicious anti-workingclass law ever passed in the United States, a law which literally makes it a crime for @ man to discuss Commun- ism with his wife, is to do some- thing which would be unthinkable two years ago Government Orders Clothing [BAR NEGRO JUROR.

Affidavits made at Youngstown, Ohio, showed that young girl workers were forced to work 11 hours a day at wages as low as 6 cents, while the fastest workers could not make more than $1.40 a day. One girl worker testified at hearings here that she earned 93 cents after two weeks work. Piece work rates were reduced from 80 to 10 cénts per 100 garments. Complaints have been made against the Moyer Manufacturing Co. which holds a government conttact to make 10,000 pairs of khaki cents a day.

ORGANIZATIONS JOIN ITALIAN ANTI-FASCIST DEMONSTRATIO Trade Union Unity and International Labor Defense Call Members to Meet NEW YORK.—Additional force is being given to the anti-fascist aN. of the Italian United Front Anti-Fascist Action to be held before the Fas: cist Italian Consulate, 70th St. and Lexington Avenue on Saturday, June 10, at 11 am. This demonstration is the first step toward the International Anti-Fas- cist Day, June 2%, and the italian workers urge the co-operation of all class conscious workers to show the strength of the anti-fascist move- ment. ‘The demonstration June 10 will demand the release from fascist dungeons of comrades Antonio Gramsci, leader of the Italian Com- munist Party, and Sandro Pertini, so- cialist lawyer, both dying in the jail of Turi. The Anti-Fascist United Front | urges the workers to unite in pro- test regardless of political beliefs. The demonstration comes on the anniversary of the brutal murder of Giacomo Matteotti, socialist congress- man, by Mussolini’s order. The de- monstration will honor his name by demanding the release of those who still fight for working-class freedom in Italy. Mattsotti, his wife has been held as @ hostage, with her two children, by the Fascisti in Rome. The political prisoners, leaders of the working-class, number more than 11,000. “We must not fail,” says the Com- | “to unite here to free the | mittee, working-class prisoners in the fas- cist dungeons. All workers must un- | ite to free the German and Italian comrades.” ‘The demonstration will form at East 79th Street and First and York Avenues, at 11 am. on the morning of June 10. TRADE UNION UNITY CALLS AF- | FILIATES TO ANTI-FASCIST MEET The Trade Union Unity Council calls upon all affiliated organizations of workers in the City of New York to support the demonstration called by the Italian Anti-Fascist Alliance in protest against the Mussolini ter- ror regime against the workers and for the immediate freedom of Com- rade Gramsci and other political prisoners in Italy. ‘We are calling upon all affiliated organizations to assemble with their On the Struggle to Release A. Herndon from Chain Gang On the day after this incident took place, Jane Speed, a young white woman who was arrested for speak- ing without a permit on May Day in Birmingham, told the judge who had convicted her that she refused to take advantage of his offer for an extension of time to get bond unless the judge also gave a similar e: tension to a Negro worker, Goodwin, who had been convicted by the same judge for knocking the white police- man down who had brutally wrench- ed her arm while arresting her. Typical E: ‘These two are but typical exam- ples of the conscious, rising milit- ancy of the Negro workers in the South, and of the growing unity be- tween black and white workers. But of all the evidence certifying the fact that the Negro people are awakening to the realization of the necessity of a revolutionary struggle if they are to break their feudal chains, and that white workers have already joined in that struggle, the case of Angelo Herndon stands out preeminently. ‘The developing class-consciousness of Herndon himself, and of his treat- ment by the white ruling class, is in iteelf an indication of the tremend- ous revolutionary upsurge in the South in the last two years. Two years ago, shortly after Herndon he- came a member of the Young Com- munist League, he was arrested by the Birmingham police, for “hang- ing around white Communists,” beat- en in jail and ordered to tell the whereabouts of the white Party or- ganizer in Birmingham at that time. “Where is John Smith,” the police asked him. “I don't know where John is,” Herndon replied. ‘I haven't seen him in days,” A policeman seized Herndon by the throat and said: “You black B——, what do you mean by calling Mr. Smith by his first name. He's Mr. Smith to you, do you understand?” Action Necessary A few months later Herndon was again involved in a “situation” in which the question of “Mister” and white Communists was in the fore- front. But this time the title “mister” was being demanded FOR Herndon by Ben Davis, I.L.D. attorney in At- lanta, and the charge against Hern- don was not that he was “hanging around” with white Communists, but that he was LEADING them, along with Negro workers, in a reyolution- ary struggle for relief from the city government for all the unemployed workers in Atlanta. And this time the white ruling class sentenced Herndon to from 18 to 20 years on the Georgia chain gang. ‘The workingclass throughout the entire country, before it is too late, must mobilize its forces to demand the release of Herndon Send your protests to Fulton Coun- ty, Georgia, officials, and to Fulton Towers Prison, Atlanta, the feudal dungeon where Herndon is being con- fined.
