The July 7 united front confer- | ence, issued the following state- | ment to all unemployed and relief workers of New Jersey. Thousands of workers throughout the state are striking against the present system of “work for relief” or 10 cents an hour and a food check introduced by the State Re- lief Administration. These workers realizing the only way to successfully fight against this attack upon their standard of living, have organized themselves into organizations throughout the state. | On June 23, 1934, 22 Relief Work- | ers and Unemployment Organiza- tions from five counties represent- ing 5,000 workers, convened in the city of Newark for the purpose of creating unified demands for cash relief throughout the state and for the unification of the entire strike on a state-wide basis. From out of this conference, the United Unemployment and Relief Workers Association was formed. ‘This association is a delegated body composed of delegates from 26 or- ganizations which now represents seven counties and 9,000 workers, At the conference a program of demands for cash relief and trade union rates of wages with a mini- mum of 50 cents per hour to be paid on all relief work was drawn up and presented to the Strike Re- lief Administration in Trenton on June 28 by the elected State Com- mittee. At this time the State Re- lief Director promised to grant these demands. However, up to | | FURNITURE WORKERS SUBSCRIBE!

This attempt by Georgia authori- ties who have sworn to “get” not) only Herndon, but his attorneys and} local sympathisers, took place in Fulton Tower, where Herndon is| confined.
