Gov. Cross for a special session of the state legislature. But on this question, McLevy’s main demand, he said is “authority to sell at once $500,000 in short term notes to make. up the city deficit. of $650,000”. McLevy admitted that legally this money, which has already been decided on by the state, to be issued on April 1, 1934, could be used for unemployment relief. “But my request to release this money before the date decided on has noth- ing to do with unemployment relief”. McLevy's only demand on the state legislature for relief is for “authoriza- tion of construction of the Merritt Highway under P.W.A, auspices to provide employment for hundreds”, The program of one highway project, to give work to “hundreds” is the only demand he makes, Why don’t you make demands on the sta.te legislature for indorsement of the Workers Unemployment In- surance Bill, and for adequate unem- ployment relief?

No reporters were allowed up with the delegation. Mrs. Goldman kept the delegation in her office for 20 minutes explain- ing that all the demands presented were out of her jurisdiction.

I don’t believe in these demonstra- tions. The workers wouldn’t follow me to Hartford”. Thus McLevy cloaked his inactivity by blaming the workers for “failure to fight”. He admitted that his election “sig- nifies the changing times”, and that he wa.s elected by the workers be- cause they are bitterly suffering, but he refuses to take any fighting action for those who elected him and blames the workers for his inaction, McLevy ‘eiused to indorse the Workers Unem.ployment Insurance Bill. When told that a number of city councils had indorsed the bill, including towns such as Tacoma, Wash., McLevy stated he stands on the position of the N.E.C. of the So- cialist Party against any cooperation main features of this bill were then ‘Stated to McLevy—the securing of funds by tax on the corporations and high incomes and the giving of ®& minimum income to all unemployed, and McLevy was asked to make a “program” of C.W.A, and P.W.A., and no other demands. The following quotation was then given McLeyy from a New Haven paper of Dec, 13. “President McLevy (he is president of the Master Roof- Statement for or against.

He re- plied that because of limitations in the city charter, everybody will have to be taxed. In all questions he re- fused to take any stand for the meb- ilization of the workers to force de- mands from the employers and their government. McLevy's main interest now is not in the unemployed, but is in an “eco- nomy” program to wipe out the city deficit. He has appointed republican and democratic politicians to office, and for these acts has caused dis- satisfaction within the ranks of the Socialist Party. McLevy, who allowed a resolution to be read to the city council against lynching and for the Scottsboro boys, made no comment in the council, after this resolution was read. Questioned about this resolu- tion of the ILD. in the interview with the Daily Worker, McLevy stated that “it was referred to the miscel- Jancous committee’.

On, our way home there will be evening affairs at Salt Lake City, Denver and Chicago. Lou Little has been spending most. of his time admonishing the players to partake sparingly. A hungry foot- ball player is better than no. foot- ball player at all. So anxious are our argonauts to carry home the golden fleece (this is no insinuation, it is a classical allusion) that during the practice at the local stadium a Club, Inc., was forced to call on us to ascertain our will in regard to the disposal of the left-over lunch- eon. Caont. wt R. LITTLE called the team to- gether and we went into the dugout to consult with newspaper- men from town sheets. Some of them suggested that the food be distributed in a few of the bread- | lines around the city, but one of our alummi traveling on the special thought that would be wrong. He is a prominent manufacturer and has had experience in similar situ- ations. He said it was first-rate food, exceptionally well prenared and when the unemployed learn where it’s from they might burn up and get ideas. One of the play- ers said hell, we'll be a thousand miles away from here then, but the manufacturing alumnus said that wasn’t the spirit, we must ease the administration’s difficulties wher- ever we are. The trainer suggested that we dump the food into the Mississippi River, which was at hand. The unemployed go fishing there anyway and the fish eat the refuse and so we'll be helping the unemployed without their becom- ing unduly incensed. The debate dragged on, but they agreed to let the food stand for a few days and deteriorate so the. breadlines don’t get indignant. committee of the Alumni Meddlers’ | This Is Partly ' Satirical bia days ago the New York Daily News announced in a one column, boldface box, that at great trouble and greater expense, it has succeeded in smuggling its sports writer, Paul Gallico, aboard the football special speeding Columbia to the The Daily Worker has made no. such fuss about the presence of its columnist on the Rose Bow! bound pullmans.

Professor Owen looked up the San Francisco papers for Septem- ‘ber, 1929, and found Norgard had played two minutes as a substitute against a submarine naval base team. This was all to the good and boys went back to the field and had a snappy workout.
