BIG BREADLINES
IN LOS ANGELES
ALL YEAR round
Thousands lJobless in,
California

LOS ANGELES, Cal, (By MaiD.-
According to a report from London
England, Henry Ford told reporters
over there the other day, in part, as
follows:
81 heard this morning that Their
are bread lines in every American
city," he said. "But there isn't bit
of truth in such reports. There may
be 50,000,000 unemployed, but if Sc
they don't want to find work.
Even Secretary Of Labor Davis ad-
mits that 100000 are unemployed in
this country. Out Of that number
100000 workers are unable to find
jobs; 100000 are working part-time,
and 100000 won't work, Davis said.
Los Angeles has breadlines the year
round Mr.. Scharvonberg, Secretary
California Federation of Labor, tells
about the same conditions in San
Francisco. An official forgot his
name) of the United States Employ
ment Service has recently made an
inspection of the unemployment situa-
ton all over this state. According to
his report, even judges, who send so
many workers to Jail on vagrancy
charges, would wear out considerable
"shoe leather" trying to find jobs, in
any part of this state, if they were
thrown into the ranks of the unem-
ployed. But, of course, most of the
judges have jobs. They work the
workers into jails.
The official unemployment figure
for California, as given by the bureau
of statistics, is "oyer 10000" Out of
that number the local Chamber of
Commerce claims 10000 and the On
trail Labor Council 10000 for Los An-
geles.
Accordingeto a report from Sacra-
mento month ago, Governor C. c..
Young admitted that the unemploy-
ment situation is the worst since
1922.

Miners RELIEF
Connecticut Federation
Official Prevents Aid :
by a Worker Correspondent

tDY w OfReF fI6oOOtdGtCJ
WATERBURY, Conn, (By MaiD g.
One of the biggest jobs we ever
tackled for helping the miners is or
ganized in the hio-Pennsylvania
Miners Relief Committee with it's
headquarters in Pittsburgh. There
are 10000 miners, who together with
their families make 100000 mouths to
feed. By the time this is printed there
will probably be 100000 men out, with
close to 100000 mouths to feed.
John Eagan, Faker.
In the state of Connecticut there
are quite few representative labor
leaders," notorious among them be-
ing one John Eagan, who holds down
Job at S75 a week as secretary of
the Connecticut State Federation of
Labor. I believe that he has the gift
of using more words to express his
brilliant thoughts than any other
orator in the state. l have seen some
of his and others work, which 1 re-
late here, as it is both interesting and
instructive to those in the labor move
ment who may not fully grasp how
the poison of class-collaboration
theories and civic federation work out
in practise.
The proudest achievement of secre-
tary of the State Federation, Eagan,
took place Feb. 4, 1928, in Water
bury. For a week the local commit
tee carried advertisements for tag
day in news articles in paid ads. Sup
port from the ministers association
was cordial and generous as was that
of the entire people of the city.
Kill Tag Day.
Friday Mr.. Eagan came to the city,
together with his staff, and the per-
nit was revoked. Saturday was a per-
feet day and it is conservatively es-
timated that the miners and their
families sacrificed $500 worth of food
because of Mr.. Eagan.
There is no doubt Of his guilt in
this matter. He boasts of having
broken up the Waterbury tag day,
and has said that he will break up
every committee the Pennsylvania
Ohio Miners Relief organizes.
But Waterbury will have tag day
in the near future as will other cities
in Connecticut.

doubtedly get more. Some are ask

PENN MILLS CUT
WAGES OF LABOR
By GRACE HUTCHINS,
Federated Pressl.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, April "a
Textile wage cuts are spreading into
Pennsylvania. A 6 per cent cut has
been forced on workers in several
mills of this silk city, second largest
silk center in the United States.
"Dwell here and prosper" reads
the chamber of commerce sign at the
railroad station. There are IL
churches in the city, 100000 popula-
ton, but only 26 public schools.
About 10000 silk workers depend on
the go companies which have come
here because Tabor is cheap in AL
lentown."
Bosses Are Prosperous.
Owners prosper and live on the
hill. Workers live down near the
mills in little wooden, slate-colored
houses, two families to house. Few
Of the workers houses have running
water; all have outside privies behind
the houses and some have wells in
the backwards for water supply
Many have no gas or electricity and
must depend on oil lamps for evening

No Hour Restrictions,
The Arcadia Knitting Mills, owned
b. the Reinhard Bros, employ several
hundred workers. They have another
big mill in Brooklyn, N. Y. and
opened this Pennsylvania branch
about six months ago. Here they are
not bothered by the 4S-hour law for

Our Strike Too, They
Say in Pouring Rain
by Worker Correspondent

(By Worker Correspondent
LANSING, Ohio, (By MaiD.-One
hundred and sixty women and chill
dren were on the picket lines at the
Mutton Hollow Mine near Lansing
as the news came from the mine that
the company thugs and state police
were on hand to guard the scabs and
prevent disorder The women called
to the scabs as they came from the
mine and the police ordered them to
dispense.
Gas Women.
The women with children in their
arms who are the wives of striking
miners, stood their ground When
the women refused to move, the state
police, our governors aid to the min
ers, threw their gas bombs and the
company thugs and local police at
tackled the women with clubs.
Nobody was seriously injured but
the police tore the clothes of some
of the women. Some of the children
received minor injuries and suffered
from the tear gas bombs thrown by
the police. 1t seems that the miners
children must learn to live on gas
instead of milk promised by the state
authorities.
But this does not break the spirit
Of the militant miners. Saturday
morning, following the disorders,
scores of women defied both nature
and the state police, standing in a
steady downpour of rain. The women
stood in mud ankle deep, drenched
to the skin, giving encouragement
to each other and saying that this
struggle is theirs as well as their hus-
bands.
Mutton Hollow was the scene of
mass arrests when AZ pickets were
seized and brought to the county Jail
at st. Clairsville. All the men are
out on $1,000 bond and they will
be up for trial next Wednesday. The
International Labor Defense is 60
ing to defend the miners who are
charged with rioting.
Lansing is one of the most mill
tant sections of the strike area. The
women and children picket the Nut
ton Hollow mine daily where the
scabs are employed.
Workers, men of all trades and
Industries, you can't all stand on the
picket line with us but you can send
