What do the Seaboard officials and the police know abou‘ the true facts of the murder? What are they trying to hide? Why did they hold innocent John Askew for 16 months and twice condemn him to die? Why did the police refuse to investigate his story of his whereabouts at the time of the murder? Why, even after irrefut- | able proof of the truth of his story, did they sentence him to 30 years in jail at the third trial? And why have they all of a sudden found the Askew case too hot and have now released John Askew?

Could we not have opposed him on the same grounds that the Demo- erat did?” The answer to this was given by city clerk Schwartzkopf who said, “the city charter says the Park Board is supreme and besides we were promised that the next ap- pointment would be a Socialist.” Demands Unemployed Program The climax came when Keive Lis- kofsky, chairman of the Sixth district, asked the party leaders why they did not have their own pro- gram for the relief of the Unem- ployed. “Why,” said he, “did. not the Mayor attend the meeting of the Unemployed council when he was invited to do so or why. was not at least a representative from the administration or party present.” Liskofsky went on to say that con- ditions for the unemployed. were miserable in Bridgeport and the city was doing little or nothing to help. He demanded action from his y and the answer he got from Mayor McLevy was this. " “Anyone that says that the un- employed is not getting aid from the city is a —_-———. liar.” He said that everything possible was being done for the unemployed and that any opposition within the Soc~ ialist Party comes as a result of Communist activity. ’s Polici ; 6 one id Skeid Eas fxrongh,| Rank, File Demands ohn enton, city treasurer, as! i ‘ chairman of the meeting defended Program for Jobless the Mayor stating that the promo-} ; tion of the C.

Seale To Be Reduced It is clearly shown in General Johnson’s protest against the $15 minimum wage for unskilled on the C. W.

C., 45 nts hour, the government early intends to reduce the scale. Politicians and labor bureaucrats of the A, F. of L. are putting their men on as skilied and serfi-skilled. ranging from 75 cents to $1.20 per hour. The purpose is to get the men to rejoin the A. F. of L. and pay dues so that the A. F. Ze niachinery may continue to work. Organize Job Committees “The National Committee Unem- ployed Councils points out that im- | mediately the workers on the Civil | Works Administration jobs must get organized to protect themselves not |enly from local abuse, but also |against the coming rate-cut. It is not only General Johnson, but local employers as well who are making the demand and will do everything possible to lower the scale below that accorded in the minimum wages of the workers in the shops. This means the building up of a Civil Works Protective Association, and election of job committees on. uch job to take up all grievances. “In addition there are the millions. of workers who have looked forward to these jobs, but who will get none.
