NEW YORK.—The real meaning of the "cooperation" between the bosses and the Tammany Bureau was explained yesterday at a Communist demonstration in front of the Tammany fake unemployment agency.
The demonstration which was addressed by members of the Downtown Unemployed Workers' Council and candidates of the Communist Party in the coming elections heard the story of a shoe worker of the Refined Shoe Company, 330 Melrose Ave., Brooklyn, who was getting $40 a week and is now replaced by one sent down by the Tammany Bureau at a wage of $21 a week and replacing him with one who is now getting nearly a half of that, is one of those firms so much praised by Mr. Rybicki, head of the Tammany Bureau, for their kind cooperation in helping "solve" the unemployment problem.
Through this "cooperation" between the Tammany Bureau and the bosses, the result is a new wave of merciless wage cuts, while the number of unemployed is not lessened, since these workers sent over by the Tammany Bureau are replacing workers who are now out on the streets.
Harriet Silverman, Communist candidate in the Sixth Assembly District, Manhattan, in speaking before the large crowd of unemployed workers in front of the Tammany agency, has pointed out the fake methods employed by the three capitalist parties in order to put their candidates through in the coming elections by fooling the workers. The Unemployed Council of the Trade Union Unity League which is organizing these and other demonstrations every day is calling a conference of all unemployed workers in Greater New York on Sept. 28 for a mobilization of all jobless around the Communist ticket and the Communist demands for unemployment insurance and immediate unemployed relief.
