OPXGE EIGHT MEPFOKD MATE TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, THTIRSDZTMARCH gUgsa. BANKS' FOLLOWERS MISLED ON RELIEF I Good Government Congress Has Done Nothing Toward Aid of Destitute, Goss . Tells Court House Meeting Hunching program to satisfy the immediate neds of the unemployed and to aid all persons wishing to withdraw from the ao -called good government congress In recovering their membership cards, the Jackson County Unemployed council met In the courthouse auditorium yesterday afternoon and too a definite atand against politicians standing between the unemployed and their "flour, beans, bacon, and occasional eggs." The protest demonstration, ataged by the congress at the court bouse Monday was condemned by the speaker, O. K. Does, secretary of the council, with the declaration: "Lota of working men have died In prison for saying less thsn the last speaker at the Good Government congress demonstration." He waa referring to the promise of L. A. Banks that ha would take the field In revolution unless Justice Is restored In Jackson county. Appeal Basis False. The appeal of the flrat demonstra tion. Ooss stated, waa based upon promises of relief and the claim that a county commissioner had refused to sign the tso.OOO appropriation Before the demonstration was over "Commissioner Nealon said a few very significant things in spite of the heckling." Goes added, .pointing out that It waa learned that he had algned the appropriation, but that few per. one had heard the announcement. If Nealon had made himself clear that day the organization would never - have materialized, but be waa not allowed to talk. Out of that demon stration, Go continued bis expla nation, grew the Good Government congress with promises of relief which sever materialized. . "Relief la the moat Important Issue hi the country. The man with the key to the commissary haa the moat powerful weapon In this country. The thing we must Insist upon Is that this power not be used against the people In need of food and relief. All unemployed measures were sidetrack ed In the good government congress for political measures of no conse quence to the hungry worker and Im poverished farmers," Goss declared, urging his followera not to be misled. Criticism Unjust. "I know tbat Norton and Codding have nothing to do with relict In this county. Mr. Dahack Is dead. He la not hungry and worrying about the , dopreaalon. There are people living, . above ground, worthy of considera tion. If half the words written about Dahack were used In our behalf we would be greatly aided." Goss added, condemning the time devoted by the good government congress leadera to criticizing officers and rehashing the Dahack case. "Twenty-five people have come to me today wanting to know how they could get their carda back. They had asked the secrotary for them and had not got them. We have appointed a committee to handle the situation." An announcement prepared for the press was then read by Mr, Goes, Refused Platform. Turning again to the failure of the good government congress to let htm peak on unemployment at the dem onstration, Goss explained that be had asked Judge l"ohl for time on the program and that the request had been made clear to Henrietta B. Mar tin, president, who nodded her head In assent. Interviewing Mrs. Martin sft-r the meeting Goss said she gave as reason for closing the program without his speech, "I am president of the congress, not Judge Fehl." "I realize that Earl II. Fehl la not president of the congress," Goss added yesterday, "but be la lt chi.f draw- trig card. Without Fehl to support the thing It would collapse." Banks Plea Inopportune. Referring to Banks' call for aid In the recovery of aaoo.000 worth of property, claimed atolen from htm through the courts. Goes stated "No unemployed worker or Impoverished fanner haa anything In common with anyone who haa 9200.000 worth of property to lose, be It Banks or any one else." He later declared. In closing, that It "all the arms raised upward during the past few months In passing reso lutions had been drawn horizontally at the saw. we would have plenty of wood to keep us warm.1 With Good Catch ''''' Mi" 'f?
