WORKERS ARE
MISTREATED IN
CITY HOSPITAL
Must Cry for Proper
Care
(Bg a Worker Correspondent.

(Bg q Worker Correspondent.
A worker coming home last
Wednesday took sick on the subway
and collapsed at the Grand Central
Station. He was helped to the
street and taken in taxi to Belle
vue Hospital. The second worker
was on night shift, and could not
remain at the hospital with the
first. The following are the exper-
fences of the. sick man at the hos
pital.
I was shown into the receiving
room of Bellevue Hospital where |
was told to wait by nurse. After
waiting about an hour, in the mean
time burning in fever, asked the
nurse how long / had to wait. She
replied that the doctor was not yet
here. The doctor arrived at about
7:30. The doctor sent me to an
other ward thru a long corridor on.
foot to have my temperature. When
I reached that ward, l was obliged
to remain outside in an unheated
corridor for a half hour before my
temperature was finally taken and
I was sent back to the doctor. She
in turn sent me back to the original
desk in the receiving room. After
waiting another half hour there, ]
was sent to the registry clerk. !
found that again I was obliged to
wait, and when protested that !
was too i'll, the nurse there told me
that it could not be helped. "You
are not the only one" 1t was after
9 p. m. before l was finally put to
bed, with a diagnosis of heavy
grippe.
The conditions in the wards are
beyond description; patients are
obliged to cry and plead before they
are provided with bedpans. AL
though l was in a continual sweat
due to my fever, my bed linens and
clothes were not changed in spite of
my continued requests until l was
in chills. The food is not fit for
dogs.
On Sunday afternoon, altho still
i'll, I left the hospital, preferring to
brave the New York streets, rather
than "enjoy any more of our mas
ters' charity"

Negro M1SleadeHs Collect
Thirty Pieces Of Sllvey

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. ID
The reason why the misleaders of
the Negro masses supported one or
other of the parties of the white
oppressors and exploiters of the
Negro workers is illuminatingly re-
vealed in the reports just filed by
the republican and democratic par
ties.
The republican report shows the
following misleaders collecting their
thirty pieces of silver for passing
cut republican bunk:
Robert L. Mays, Chicago, $4,000;
A. H. Roberts, Chicago, $125; Ros-
coe Conkling Simmons, Chicago
$125; Rienzi B. Lemus, Washing
ton, $50; George w. Harris, New
York, $125; Fred R. Moore, New
York, SIPS; r. L. Vann, Pittsburgh,
$125; Ernest T. Atwen, New York,
SIPS; Miss Jeanette Carter, Wash
ington, $50; W. H. c. Brown, New
York, $40; Mrs. Amy Garvey, wife
of Marcus Carney, S95; William H.
Davis, New York City, $500; Will
liam Monroe Trotter $3.50.
The democratic report shows this
other bunch of Negro Judases as re-
ceiving their hand-out for betray-
ing the Negro masses:
Bishop Reverdy c. Ransom of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church
about $4,000; Lester A. Walton,
$3.50; Mizelle $125; Nelson $3.50.
Girl Savagely Beaten Up By White
Police Cossack.
Trotter of the Guardian drew
handouts from both parties, getting
$500 from the democrats and $3.50
from the republicans. Calude A.
Barnett of the Associated Negro
Press, secretary of the publicity
committee of the republican JIM
crow division, got $3.50 from the
democrats. Prattis of the same
news service received $3.50,
Police terrorism against Negro
workers in this city has reached
such pass that white officers of
capitalist claw and order" no longer
content themselves with beating up
Negro workers on the streets but
actually force themselves into the
workers homes to do their dirty
work. Such was the astounding tes-
timony of Miss Louise Jackson, soda
fountain clerk, of 214 West end
Street, who offered a beaten bruised
body and a blackened eye as evil
dence against officer William Fitz-
gerald, white, of GA Precinct, in a
hearing Friday before Inspector
Bolan Of the third division.
