ILLINOIS CARLINSVILLE, Ill, June 28—A inited front conference of Unemploy Councils, unemployed unions, locals of the Progressive Miners, hodcar- riers, Trades Councils and Women Auxiliaries, met in Macoupin, the county seat to discuss plans for ‘uggle against forced labor and for higher relief. Four delegates from Socialist Party | branches of the county and likewise four delegates representing the Com- t P: of Macoupin County Call for Immediate Strikes The conference adopted unanim-| recommendations of the Committee, calling for an im- ctrike against forced labor, ishment of local strike com- mittees, and for other forms of mass. struggle. Strikes are now being car-| ried on.

But the marchers show-| ed excellent proletarian discipline, de- veloped into a single fighting front during the march.

They broke into the marchers’ | lunch hour, and when they protested, | the attempt was made again to ar-/ rest the leader.

All members of unem- Ployed organizations have been. in- vited to send two delegates to dis- cuss action in forming united action for the right of the unemployed to live. One of the issues of the conference will be the forming of united action against the wave of terror through vicious court sentences on militant workers who used gas, lights and water in their homes after it had been turned off by the public utili- ties. Two militant workers, active in the struggles of the unemployed, have been sentenced to six months in jail on two counts for using the lights and gas in their homes.

Calledto Report on State Hunger March KENOSHA, Wis.—A meeting held in Columbus Park to report on the recent state hunger march to Madison was broken up by the police. Prior to the meeting officials refused a per- ‘mit for the park although many ; meetings were held there previously. Instead they suggested the use of “lakefront,” which is a polite term for the city dump. As soon as the meeting started. three cops tried to break it up and were rebuffed by the workers. When Clark Lawrence, leader of the Unem- ployed Council began speaking, the police with new reinforcements made a second attack arresting him, The chairman called on the work- ers to march to the police station.| A thousand participated in the| march. A commitee of four was elected to go in and make the de-/ mand for Lawrence's release. Refused Admittance The committee was refused admit- tance and the demonstrators then proceeded to iCty. Hall, where the Common Council was in_ session. Here also they were refused a hear- ing. Instead more police came and began clubbing. Many were seriously hurt. P. Simyon, Sento. Giordano and Dalton Johnson, Communist Party organizers were arrested. Tear gas| bombs were thrown which workers| kicked under a car, and they failed to go off. Later in the evening the arrested workers were released on $25 bail each. Lawrence is charged with speaking without a permit and the others with disorderly conduct. Their cases are continued until June 27. Petitions are being circulated de- manding the use of parks for public meetings. Committees are visiting Councilmen demanding that they {favor the use of the parks for such | purposes, Cheated out. of Pay in| Omaha Forced Labor OMAHA, Neb.—To show the extent the forced labor in Douglas County, here is a case of only one among 14,- 000 on the relief list. A family living at 25th and Cum- } ming Sts. is receiving the usual order of $1.50 worth of groceries. The father, the wife and the daughter, all of them were forced to do work for the relief agencies last winter. The father worked 96 hours. At the regular wage scale 50s per hour, his work should be worth $48. The wife and daughter, sewing for the Community Chest, worked both together 86 hours. The regular wages for such work is 30c per hour. This will then be $25.80. Together this family made $73.80. Yet this family received’ relief during this time amounting to only between £25 to $30.

Young Couple and Baby Cross Country in Box-Car to Seek Relief and Job One of Thousands of Jobless Families on Road; Told to “Go Back Where They Came From”; N. Y. Council Forces Relief By DAN NEW YORK.—Across the DAVIS country on box cars, suffer- ing the bitter mountain cold and the desert heat, Charles Mazza, an upholsterer unemployed three years, his wife and 19-months-old baby girl came York in search of work. They ing the streets of the city last ~ Saturday by an unemployed seaman, The Mazzas are typical of thousands of families thrown onto the highways by capitalism. Mr. Mazza told the Daily Worker of the many families he met on the road. Those families underwent ex- “We rode the freights over the desert for two days and nights. All we had to eat was four loaves of bread and two gallons of water,” he said. The family was put off trains by company bulls, they were left stranded on deserted roads and forced to walk weary miles. Go Back Where You Came From! Denied relief at Salvation Army and relief stations throughout the country, forced to chop wood in the few Salvation Army stations at which they were given something which, in the words of Mr. Mazza, “I wouldn’t give a dog to eat,” for the baby, they were finally told in New York to “go back where they came from!” Worthless Relief Tickets But the Salvation Army was not alone in fulfilling the mission of the relief agencies to grind workers to the ground. Almost always on the verge of starvation, the Mazzas were sent from the Central Registration Bureau for the Homeless at the Bat- tery with worthless tickets for relief. ‘The Charity (Catholic) Organiza- tions Society, Spring Street and Broadway, which receives appropria- tions from the authorities, and is supposed to care of out of town workers, turned them back into the streets. Threaten to Take Child The Travelers’ Aid Society in New York and its branch in Pittsburg, in which city the family slept under a bridge for four days, threatened to take their child from them. They were told they could then live, sepa- rately, in the city flop houses, In a police station they were again given the worthléss relief tickéts. “But we can't eat the tickets,” said Mi lazza.

CHARLESTON, W. Va., June 38— | Prohibitionists received one of their worst set-backs yesterday when West Virginia, one of the states they had considered safely in the dry ranks, voted more than two to one to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment to the | constitution of the United States. | Many counties hitherto dry voted wet by big majorities. In the industrial | centers the yote ran from 3 to 1 to} 5 to 1 against prohibition, while in the mountain counties the vote re- | mained dry, but by a much smaller majority than ever before.

Stephenson, former Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, and for years the republican political boss of In- diana, was denied a new trial yester- day by the Indiana Supreme Court. Stephenson was sentenced to prison for murdering an Indianapolis girl on a train in 1925, after he had ravaged her. He was the political boss of former United States Senator James E.

Here is what we meant by a tie-up between correspondence and Daily Worker distribution. It is a letter from a Daily salesman in Rochester, N. ¥., Milton E.

So please pub- lish it and send mé 26 extra copies of the edition in which it appears. It is impossible to soll near the fac- tory because of the terror against the workers by the union heads.

During Roose- velt’s vacation and Moley’s hasty London trip, Baruch was featured as the “unofficial president.” What will interest the workers more is that Baruch has a lot to say in the Roose- velt regime. It isn't the first time that this Morgan and Company,. Wall Street liaison officer has had a hand in directing war preparations, strike- breaking and schemes resulting in billions of profit for the bankers at | @ cost of lives and sacrifices by the workers. Just how much Baruch had to do with the preparing of the industrial | recovery act will long remain a se- cret Detween him and Roosevelt. But we do know a more important fact. Baruch picked the man to run the | machinery of the act, General Hugh $. Johnson. This master-Wall Street gambler, whose war record every worker will want to know, chose Jomnson (and Roosevelt confirmed him) because he was at the head of his research staff, and knows just what the Morgans (steel), Guggen- heims (copper), Harrimans (bank- ers), Ryans (tobacco trust), Hamleys (railroads) or their heirs will want him to do with the workers under the recovery act.

Morgan and the steel trust, the railroads, the copper trust, the tobacco trust, need not go far to let Johnson know what they want him to do.

Sressman Mason, at the time the original bonus bill was being discus- sed, said, “I am willing to vete to have your attorney general bring suit against Barney Baruch, the chief man, the closest man of the prési- dent of the United States (Wilson) who stole $50,000,000 in copper.” Of course, Baruch became embarrassed and demanded that Mason rétract. Mason replied, according to the New York Times of June 3, 1920, “Since looking at his previous statement he would amend it to say that ‘you and your associates stole $200,000,000 in copper alone’.” If these figures sound big we must remember: that billions in war funds passed through the hands of this leader of forgotten men and the appointer of the in- dustrial recovery act administrator. The Final Clean-Up. Baruch left Wall Street (physi- cally) to help Wilson win the war for cemocracy. But he used the inform- ation he got in Wilson’s cabinet and at Versailles, where the Colonies were being re-shuffled and the League of Nations concoeted, to plunge in the stock market, perhaps as a pleasant diversion from the more arduous la- bors of redividing the world in the interest of the victorious imperial- Anyway, we learn that Baruch; { because of his inside information that peace was soon to be declared, clean- ed up at one strike $476,168.47. How did he do this? Baruch, knowing steel was being poured out on the battle fleld by the millions of tons, held stéel (that is Morgan) stock. Knowing further that the war's end would bring a crash in steel stocks, sold short and thereby cleaned up both ways, coming and going. Only A Glimpse ‘We have only flicked the dust from Baruch's war finance record, but enough to give the worker's a glimpse of the type of self-sacrificing capit- alist whose man Friday, in the per- son of General Johnson, is now go- ing to see that labor and capital get a “square deal.” During the great steel strike of 1919, Wilson sent Baruch to visit Judge Gary in order to discuss meth- eds of crushing the strike. Wilson finally sént troops to Gary, Indiana, and other steel towns to cow and shoot the strikers back to work. ‘The new deal in the hands of Roo- sevelt, Baruch, Johnson and Oo. is begrinied with bloed profits of the last imperialist war.

But they know the futility of trying to get an answer into the same paper. That’s where the Daily Worker comes in. Whenever a “prosperity clipping” appears in a local boss paper, the Daily Worker can be usetl to spot this lie by the simple procedure of sending a letter in answer to the Daily.

R. Wright, to establish a chain gang camp for militant workers, and to forbid meetings of the unemployed on the court house lawn. A monster mass meeting has been held on this samé court house lawn against the imprisonment of 29 mil-¢ itant workers arrested on charges of “unlawful assembly” following an at- tempt to restore the furniture of an evicted family to their home. ‘The demonstration has forced the release of eight workers, including Harry Gordon, district organizer of the Communist Party. The Workers’ Cooperative Associ- ation, the Mexican Labor Center, of Dallas, the Seventh Ward Club of Fort Worth, the socialist local, the Unemployed Workers and Farmers” League, and the I.L.D., have rallied to the defense of these workers.

THOMAS JAILED FOR SIX MONTHS Refuse New Trial to e Pittsburgh Worker PITTSBURGH, P: June 26.—B, C (Jack) Thomas, militant unem- ployed worker, was sentenced to six months in jail, today, following re~ fusal of Judge Gibson last week to grant him a new trial. Deportation Proceédings ar€ being instituted against him by Frances Perkins’ “New Deal” immigration depart- ment. He was deprived of his citi- zenship papers by the court. The prosecution of Thomas, on charges of falsifying his application for citizenship papers is the first case in a drive by Miss Perkins to drive all militant workers’ organiza- tions underground. The charge was based on Thomas’ membership in the Young Workers League at the time of his application for citizenship. Protests against the conviction of Thomas should be sent to Judge Gibson, Federal Court, Pittsburgh, Pa., demanding his immediate re- Jease, the Pittsburgh district of the ILD announced. A motion for a new trial was also denied yesterday in the case of Jim Egan, rank and file leader in the A. F. of L., and secretary of the Pittsburgh Tom Mooney action com- mittee. He now faces a long prison term on charges of “inciting to riot” in connection with a demonstration, March 4, against the Commissary Plan.
