Oakland Workers Turn
Down Charity Feed
ey A Worker correspondent

OAKLAND, Jan. 81. - The follow
ing open letter is addressed to the
members of the Merchants Exchange
Of this city telling them on behalf of
the unemployed workers why only
$50 of them partook of the dinner
that the association had arranged for
over $50 and telling this business
mems group that the unemployed
workers were not looking for charity
but for work so that they could earn
their own meals and not depend on
Salvation Nell handouts:
IAN open letter to the members of
the Merchants Exhange, OF Oakland,
California.
"All of the East Bay papers of Sun.
Jan. II, 1926, carried a good sized dis
play, advertising that your associa-
ton had prepared to feast $50 guests,
who were to be Of the very poor the
Unemployed and Needy of Oak
land.
1.-THE reason write this is to ex-
plain why your tables were graced
by only $50 guests, while there are
ten times as many who are unemploy-
ed and suffering, and unable to get
by honest effort, three meals per
week, such as you placed on your
board for the hungry.
you must know sooner or later
that the. working people of America
are no longer to be satisfied with a
Salvation Nell handout once a year.
These people do not want charity.
They want the opportunity to work
for, and, earn their food, clothing and
shelter.
mo longer, dear merchants, will
the workers be satisfied with, and
bend a grateful knee to your old.
fashioned ideas of benevolence. Many
of you expressed surprise, that there
we're no more than ESQ poor at your
charity feed, when figures show that
there are 10000 unemployed in Ala
media county, alone.
"But let me tell you, that your
roast beef and fixin's' went down
those ESQ threats with the bitterness
of tears Of disappointment and all the
hot coffee your Salvation army COM
patriots could pour them could not
drown the shame Of charity that went
down with every swallow. Nor could
all the desserts you could heap up
on their side dishes sweeten their
thoughts of the degradation of power
ty they are forced down to, by the UNI
fairness of the capitalist system"

SPRINGFIELD CLUB
 TOPS NEW BRITAIN
Blocked Drop Kick and Run Of
 65 Yards Beat Local Team

He NlINerIONn fOOIDall cluD ui Springfield outplayed the All-New Britain football team yesterday afternoon at Willow Brook park and emerged from the contest the victor by a score of to 0. The touchdown camo on an attempted drop kick by Nanfeldt on Springfields 8 yard line. Wooster the visitors fullback, broke through. blocked the ball and scooping it, raced 6 yards to a touchdown. The extra point was made on a forward pass Clements 10 Lobo.
 Springfield showed plenty of power on both the offenso and de- fense, holding New Britain to four first downs, all Of which came in the second half. The game was dreary for the most part, both teams fight field. Up to the time the unfortu- nate break came that decided the is- sun, touchdown seemed very re- mote. Springfield had the ball most of the time. but the New Britain de- fcnse was there when the team from the City of Homes threatened to score.
 Thompson, the Pennsylvania flash, WAS the rcdooming feature of the New Britain play. His work in breaking up forward passes of the visitors and his sensational run backs Of punts kept the New Britsin fans on their toes throughout the game. I'allon and Clements were the big guns for tho Springfield team.
 "Hiker" Holzhoimcr pulled the sensation of the day on the famous Sturm to Holzheimcr crisscross for ward pass when "Butsy" shot per feet pass to the fiashy end and Holzy caught it while he was on his back on the ground. Had "Hiker" been on his feet and caught the pass, New Britain would have scored. The third quarter came at this point and the blocked drop kick and resultant run by Wooster turned the tide of bat tie.
 Manning got into the game yes terday and although he was unac- quainted with the signals, his runs showed his power and he will prove to be a great addition to the local team. Shurtleff for a number of years, center on the Providence Steam Rollers was forced out of the game in the third period with an injury to his nose, making the tenth time that he had suffered injuries 10 his probocis.

Meanwhile a labor union leader has
