They have the use Of kitchen which
is used in common with another fam.
lily.
Twelve In Three Rooms.
The c. family Negro consists of
the mother, father and ten children.
At present they are living in rear
basement fiat, the floor of which is
about on the level Of the ground.
There is one large long room which
has two small windows, and there are
two smaller rooms. The ceiling is
about feet high, and half Of it is not
plastered but the rough K SIS are
exposed. The toilet is just being in
stalled. There is no sink but only a
water faucet in one of the rooms. The
small yard between this house and
the one in front of the lot, is all mud
and water, and the streets are un-
paved. The rent is $500
Mrs. V. and seven children are liv-
ing in a four-room fiat on the second
floor of an old frame dwelling. The
rooms are small and one bedroom
where four boys sleep is very dark
and has only one small window for
ventilation. The toilet is in poor con-
dition and this winter has practically
been out of order when the pipes have
frozen. This flat, and in fact the
whole building, is infested with
reaches, bedbugs and rats. Mr.. v.
was discharged recently from the
Municipal tuberculosis Sanitarium,
coming home to make living condi-
tons even more crowded. The rent
is $500, and the landlord plans to
raise the rent to $4,000.
Too Many Children.
Mrs. M--has a notice to move,
but can find no fiat because she is told
the Board of Health will not permit
so many children in a small fiat and
she cannot afford to pay much, for
Mr. M averages only about $500
per week, but she does not think any
place can be worse than the one
where she is living, for here are ten
children of two families and six
adults all using the same toilet.
Mr.. R. (Negro) is i'll and unable to
work. He came to Chicago in Janu-
airy 1923, and saved $4,000 which he
sent South for transportation for his
wife and ten children. They are all
living in four rooms, the floors of
which are even with the ground. The
plumbing has just been repaired. The
fiat is damp and overcrowded.

probers now at work show the
necessity for the tenants organ
izing into tenants leagues to
protect themselves. 1t will be
noted that Negro workers are
the greatest victims under the
present system.
Children Play In Filthy Alley.
There are four blocks of houses sit
uated on an alley which is between
Kensington Avenue and 10th Street.
The only approach to these houses is
from the alley. The houses are crowd
ed close together and also close to the
houses which are built in the front
lots. Almost no sunshine or fresh air
can possibly get into these houses.
Many of the houses contain four fami-
lies, two on each floor, although un-
doubtedly they were built for one-fam.
lily homes. The dirt and congestion
is terrible and in almost every in
stance there are many children. They
have no play space except the alley
which is always so muddy or full OF
garbage that it is impossible to use
for playground.
In another locality there are three
blocks Of tenement houses with many
families living in each house. Each
home is overcrowded and the toilet
facilities are miserable. The stairways
approaching the upper floors are SC
dark that one needs a hashlight even
in the sunniest part of the day. All
of these homes are crowded with chill
dren.
Six Negroes to A Room.
Six colored people were found living
in a small basement room at 1926
Rhodes Avenue, containing only one
window, approximately x feet SET
just below the ceiling of the room
Fully three-quarters of the room lies
below the level of the street. This
room was occupied as sleeping and
living quarters by Mrs. L., her son
her granddaughter, and her three
great grandchildren. A rental of SIG
per month was paid for the room.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. have been looking
for a fiat within their means since
October, 1923. Since that date they
and their four children have been
sleeping in a room so small that it is
impossible to have two beds in it, and
all are occupying one bed. The room
is so dark that it is impossible in. the
daytime to distinguish objects with
out the use of the kerosene lamp

Exploit Child Slaves
in Land of Oranges
and Jails; Dodge Laws

SAN LEANDRO, Cal, June 22.-
That owners of asparagus beds in
various parts of the state are exploit
ing children is the charge made by
w. o. Davies, supervisor principal
of schools in this city.
AS early as March. he asserts, the
exodus of children begins. The laws
are evaded in some instances by NOV
able part-time schools, which the par
cnts transport with them. These are
useless. according to Davies. because
there is no supervision and no assur-
ance that the children will attend.
Davies charges are supplemented
by report of Dr. C. r. Blake. coun-
ty health officer, who has investigated
child labor in the asparagus beds Of
Sacramento valley.

Fight For Free Speech.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 22.-Mayor
F. x. Schwab is challenged to "pre-
serve law and order" in a telegram
received from the American Civil Lib
critics union, New York, which de-
clares that "mob violence against
speakers ought to be dealt with Wig
orously by any mayor pledged to up
hold the constitution" The Civil Lib
critics. telegram refers to the breaking
up Of a Proletarian Party street meet
ing by mob led by uniformed army
recruiting officer.
The speaker, former state assem-
blyman Scarborough of Illinois, was
knocked down by the army officer,
who objected to criticism of the war
and Coolidge's bonus veto. A free
speech test meeting will be held at
once by the Proletarian party in Co
operation with the Civil Liberties
union.

Oil Grip on Mexico
Cause of Her Woes,
Says Pres. Oregon
BY ELLA c. WOLFE,


MEXICO CITY, June 22-Obregon's
speech at Nogales, Sonora. against
the American oil companies has raised
a storm in the American colony in
Mexico, altho he uttered nothing but
the truth. He said that the most for
midable obstacle in Mexico's moral,
social and political progress and the
revindication OF its revolution were
the American oil interests. Because
the Mexican revolutionary govern
ment refused to put itself completely
at their service, they fled to Wall
Street to seek protection for their in
terests. On Wall Street they have
been conspiring and still are conspir-
ing against the stability of Mexican
institutions and government.

portation of workers from Porto
Japanese whose exclusion begin
The War Department frankly
asserts, thru it's experts, that the
Porto Ricans make fine cannon
fodder under American train
ing" and that from a defense
standpoint" such loyal slaves
are preferable to Japanese for Ha-
wallis population.
Considered Military Post.
The department admits THAT more
attention should be given the popu-
lation of the Hawaiian Islands be-
cause they were acquired as a mill
tary outpost in the defense plans of
the United States. The department
claims that every male resident there
ought to be potential American sold
Ter.
The prime motive in the plan to
force Porto Rican workers to migrate
to Hawaii is the greed for profits of
the sugar trust. The Hawaiian plant
ers have tried successfully Chinese,
Japanese, and Filipino workers on the
plantations and none Of these could
stand the slavish conditions Of serf-
dom which the wealthy American SUI
gar gang "allow."
Filipino Workers Struck.
The Filipino plantation workers
pulled a gigantic strike in April and
May of this year under the leadership
Of Manlapit, an attorney of Honolulu,
protesting against the terrible oppres-
sion of the sugar planters. The Fill
Pine workers asked only So day in
stead of the totally inadequate 81
they had been receiving and an hour
work day.
Now the Hawaiian sugar planters,
members of the American sugar trust,
are turning to Porto Rico for their
slaves and are encouraging the War
Department to use army transports to
assist the emigrants, and are glad to
have War Department experts"
chime in with military lingo talk.
Congressman SkepticaI.
DR.. Felix Crodova Davila, Porto
Rican delegate to Congress, was not
too sure of the willingness of his
countrymen to go to Hawaii as scab
labor on the explanations. He thot
that it would be necessary to assure
passage both ways, reasonable wages
and good working conditions.
The sugar barons are debating
whether they shall offer free, or just
reduced, one-way transportation. They
hope that the Porto Rican workers
will fall sufficiently hard for the allur-
ing propaganda they are going to put
out to pay their own way to Hawaii.
The Porto Ricans are chiefly of
mixed Spanish and native stock with
liberal sprinkling of Negro blood from
the old-time slaves. The government
of the island is entirely controlled by
American politicians appointed by the
President of the United States. The
civic status of the islanders has never
been satisfactorily determined. If the
American sugar trust bosses want to
get Porto Ricans to Hawaii, practi-
cally all they have to do is what they
are doing: getting the War Depart
ment's and the American Porto Rican
officials cooperation.
Americans Run Isle.
The workers of Porto Rico have not
been given much help in education
by the superimposed American gov
eminent and have been kept serfs on
the land as much as possible. When
the Hawaiian planters approach them
with their glittering offers of trans
portation to Hawaii and make idle
promises of good pay and living and
working conditions, the Porto Ricans
