down, have not even been called to

Although the vast mass of evil

of the passengers is sufficient to
indict the company and the U. S.

appeared certain, from the results
of yesterdays hearing in the Gin

for the wreck would be completely
whitewashed and the workers, as has
happened always in such cases in
the past, framed up and charged

HILLMAN CLIQUE
FORCES SPEED Up
ON VEST MAKERS
Hillman Grants Piece
Work System

To the bitter resentment of the
workers in the mems clothing indus
try, at being forced to slave under
the sweat shop system of piece work,
Sydney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union has replied with a statement
that this system has also been
granted to the pants and vest con-
tractors.
Beginning with the first defensive
admissions to the protesting men,
bers of the union, that the piece
work system was being granted only
to the "large and responsible" manu-
facturers, the officialdom of the
Amalgamated are now openly and
brazenly foisting this inhuman speed
up method on all the tailors, frankly
granting it even to the smallest con-
tractors manufacturing only parts
of the whole garment.
The news of this move by the ad-
ministration of the Amalgamated
was carried in an interview with
Hillman published in an employers
trade journal. In the interview Hill
man admits that the granting of
piece work to the section contractors
is still under discussion and that
he considers such a step advisable.
This is branded by the workers
as quite usual piece of Hillman
hypocrisy. Long before the adj
ministration granted piece work off
cially to the employers, the workers
declare, this system was already be-
ing enforced in the factories. The
same is true of the latest grant. The
Hillman machine does not even
bother to railroad it thru local meet.
ings any more, but gives piece work
to the contractors and then lies
about it by saying it is only being
considered, according to members Of
the Amalgamated.

SUFFERERS Give
NLIE TO STORY OF
REACTIONARIES
Latter May Be Bribed
by Red Cross

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, (By
Mail).-Local Negro residents of
West Palm Beach, who have evil
IDENTIFY been bribed by the American
Red Cross to lie in behalf of that
organization, have issued state
ments, with the motive in mind Of
refuting the exposes of the Negro
Workers Relief Committee.
Negro victims of both the Missis-
sippi and Florida floods have
charged the Red Cross with the most
cruel discrimination against Negro
sufferers. The Negro Workers Re-
lief Committee is in a position to
now that the statements issued by
he local traitorous Negroes are abb
tQolute lies.
These reactionary Negroes state
that "a local Negro advisory COM
mittee has been formed, with the
sanction Of the Red Cross, for the
purpose Of protecting Negro inter
ests in the reception of relief. Com
plants and suggestions to the Red
Cross are submitted through this
medium. The committee says that
it has met the wholehearted COOP
Grafton of the Red Cross. Investi-
cations made by the committee
prove conclusively that Negro storm
sufferers are receiving adequate
aid" This has been proven to be
absolutely false by facts submitted
by hurricane sufferers to the Ne
gro Workers Relief Committee. In
cidentally, the fake committee does
not quote any facts. The conclud-
ing statement of the reactionaries
lis a complete misstatement of fact.
htThe Negro advisory committee,
edere upon the scene, has found that
ats suggestions are acted upon, that
its complaints are listened to. and
existing evils remedied, mistakes
corrected and justice DONE" 1t is
evident then, that the committee
never suggests or complains, for
Negro sufferers have yet to receive
any relief from the Red Cross.

U. s. BIRTHRATE DECREASES.

The population Of the United
States in 1877 was about 10000, 900
as against 105,700,000 in 1920. Of
interest, however, is the fact that
the birthrate has decreased $3.50
during these seven years, and is
now $4,000 less than in 1920, despite
a population 100000 greater than
then. This is due to the far more
numerous abortions, and the greater
use of birth control devices.
