and 574 injured over a similar per-
iod last year, according to figures

by firearms and explosives with n

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-02-15
By Fred Ellis

we have a world where workers will
be considered as good as dogs.
EVERY effort must be made by the
- advanced section of the labor move
ment, the left wing and by that mo-
tive force of militant labor struggles,
our Workers (Communist) Party to
organize the unemployed workers into
Unemployed Councils throughout the
whole country and put forward in
sistent demands, not requests, for re-
lief of the unemployed workers and
their families.
If Madison Square Garden and
other public buildings can be used
for dog shows they can be used to
shelter unemployed and homeless
workers. The masses of workers on
the breadlines must be modified to
march in thousands and tens Of thou
sands and force the opening of the
churches and other public buildings
as places of shelter. A special fund
for unemployment insurance should
be raised by tax on the industries
of the state and nation. Public works
should be started and men employed
at full union wages and those not
able to obtain work should also re-
ceive union wages. Public schools
should be forced to feed the children
of unemployed parents and no land
lord should be permitted to evict the
family of an unemployed worker. The
labor unions should instantly begin
the Inauguration of shorter hours.
without wage cuts, in order to en-
able larger number of workers to
be employed.
Every effort must be put forth to
mobilize the army of the unemployed
into the class-conscious labor move
ment in order to strengthen the revo-
lutionary forces of the United States
so that we can bring nearer the day
when the masses will avenge their
degradation by defeating the capital
list class and it's government and pro-
ceeding to destroy the very soil upon
which capitalism grows.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-02-15

A glance at this budget is suffi-
Gent to show it's utter inadequacy for
anything except a miserable exist
ence. Yet it is on such budgets as
these that arguments as to the extent
of poverty in America are based.
But even below this starvation
level for a family of five the survey
disclosed another stratum consisting
of 79 families, out Of 552 studied,
whose income was less than $50 per
week. 1T must also be noted that the
weekly income figures give an exag-
gerated idea of the total yearly in
come since it Is cut down in the ma
jority Of cases by sickness (which
brings added expense) and by unem-
plcy'nent for short or long periods.
The following conclusions are
drawn by the compilers Of the above
statistics:
I'm the wage group of less than
$40 per week there were twice as
many families in which there was
sickness as in the wage group of $40
or more week. The lower the wage
the larger the number of families in
which there was illness, the greatest
number being in the less than $40
week group. A student Of infant
mortality in Johnstown. Pa. by the

the future thoroughbreds. The sug-
gestion that the same care be bestowed
upon working class mothers would be
considered intolerable impudence.
NOG for dog and man for man the
y dogs have far better time of it
in New York. Even the capitalist
state, the instrument of oppression
that exists for the special purpose Of
perpetuating economic inequalities,
has laws against cruelty to animals,
and would penalize any person who
forced dog to stand for hours, soak
ing wet and cold in a blizzard before
being permitted a bite to eat. Nor
would the owners of the dogs now on
exhibition at Madison Square Gar
den consent to permit their whelps
to inhabit, even for one night, the
miserable quarters that shelter fam
lilies of the working class.
This contrast between dogs and
men under capitalism is glazing in its
inequalities. The working class is not
considered the equal of the ruling
class. We are not even considered
the equals of the dogs of the ruling
class.
In face of such contrasts as the
Bowery and Madison Square Garden
this week we are told that it is sinful
to preach class hatred; that the capt.
talists are nice people and that we
ought not despise them; that all of
US are products Of our environment.
Sentimentalists and preachers of
dirty sermons to the working class
forget that the present system of cap
italist exploitation which reduces HUI
man beings to condition inferior to
that of dogs is maintained precisely
by that capitalist class through the
use of it's government police, army,
courts, hangmen, and the rest of the
array that makes up it's executive
and legislative and judicial branches
and that the working class must
come to loath and despise the system
and it's beneficiaries as it's implacable
enemy that must be destroyed before
