This} challenge was instantly taken up by the delegates from Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and the other states. The Nebraska delegation invited the delegates to hold the rext Na- tional Conference in this state, and action on this invitation was left to the new Natoinal Committee. Head Taxes DETROIT, Mich. Noy. 20—One- hundred and seventy-five delegates, representing between fifteen and twenty thousand workers and farm- ers, is now meeting in a two-day State Conference to organize a broad movement against the State sales and head taxes and against the whole N.

The complete cancellation of all debts of the sharecroppers, both | Negro and white, and the abolition of the system of vicious oppression of the Negro people. | Besides passing resolutions on the necessity for unity with the city workers, the Conference delegates revealed, in speeches from the floor their concrete experiences on how they are achieving unity with the working class.

Molders Join Steel ~ Union in New Britain NEW BRITAIN, Conn., Nov. 20.— Workers in three of the largest foun- dries here responded to the call to a meeting to organize molders and foundry workers into the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union last Tuesday. Thirty applications for membership were filled out and many workers promised to sign membership cords and enroll their shopmates in the union. Two strikers of the Kirschner Foun- dry in New Haven appealed for sup- port of their strike, now jn its fourth week, and urged the wrokers to pre- vent any scabbing when the bosses try to have their work done outside of New Haven. Wofsey of New Haven spoke on the differences of A.

The farmers created a stin as they passed thru the working class sections of Chicago, ignoring all traffic lights and cheering and sing- ing as their trucks rumbled thru the city streets. “Higher prices for farm products and lower prices of goods for food for city workers,” were among the slogans on the trucks that particu- larly drew the interest of the Chi- cago masses—and especially the thousands of hungry unemployed.
