UNEMPL. OYMENT is
BAD IN ST. LOUIS;
MANY LAID OFF
More Families Depend
on Charity

ST. LOUIS, No, Jan. 27-More
families are dependent on charity for
their food and shelter this winter then
ever before in the history Of the city.
The chief reason is that more men
and women are out of work in st.
Louis then at any time in many
years. These are the facts and
figures given by officials of the st.
Louis Provident Association. This
Association is the largest charity or
ganization giving material aid-food,
fuel, clothing, money-to needy fam
lilies in this area.
Jobs were hard to get in st. Louis
last winter. Industrial experts and
employment agencies note more un-
employment then at any time since
the depression following the end Of
the World War.
Applications for relief to charity
organizations reached higher num-
Der then ever before. So did the
amount of money given out for relief.
During December, 1926, the Provident
association gave out S10,978,000 in
relief,-the highest amount in 60
years since its existence. For De-
cember, 1927, the figure rose to $780,
S5600-an increase of about so per
cent.
No Jobs.
December, 1927, saw a rise of go
per cent in the number of families
applying for aid to the Provident
association, as compared with De-
camber, 1926. This figure includes
only families added to lists of the AS
ISOLATION during the months mem
Toned; they take no account of fam
lies receiving aid before December
LIST and continuing to receive it dur
ing the month. Sixty-two per cent of
the families thus reduced to beggery
during December, 1927, found them
selves in that conditions because of
the father or other worker was out Of
job.
Laying-Off Men.
Appeals for Christmas baskets to
st. Louis Charity organizations this
year numbered 11,500,-an increase
of 5000 over 1926. Baskets actually
given number 6,500,-100 more than
last Chris mas.
These are sample of how condi-
tons are in st. Louis and vicinity.
Trying to get work here is energy
uselessly wasted. For over six weeks
the writer was looking for a job, any
kind of work, but in every factory he
entered he heard the same reply from
the employment boss, "Sorry buddy,
no work open, we are laying off our
own men,"

Affairs Arranged
To Aid Miners Relief

eisti branches have contributed gem
erously. The Arbeiter Progressive
Club, 100 Ave. c, has turned in an
other well-filled collection ballot to
the tune of SIS.
One of the most active organiza-
tons in relief work is the United
Council of Working Glass Housewives.
Members of the various councils thru
out the city come in daily with coll
lection lists, voluntary contributions,
and bundles of, clothing.
This weekend many organizations
are running affairs for miners re-
lief. The National Jewish Co-opera-
tive House, S08 Adee Ave-, will have
a concert and dance Saturday evening.
The Czecho-Slovak Workers House,
BAT E. 72nd St., will have similar
affair on Sunday and the L. A. C.
Club of Bayonne, N. j., will hold a
concert the same evening at Jefferson
Hall, Bayonne. A rather elaborate
program will be presented at the lat
ter place. From New York the hall
can be reached by the Hudson Tubes
to Journal Square and bus.

WILL TAX women DEMOCRATSFAvOR
WORKERS WAGES pLUNKETT SPEECH

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 27.-The net
income of married women employed
in industrial pursuits would be sub
ject to twenty per cent tax, provided
heir husbands earn in excess Of $4,000
yearly, under bill introduced in the
legislature today by Assemblyman
Breitenbach, democrat, Kings. The
measure would allow an exemption
of $500 for each minor child.
The purpose of the bill is to find
another source of revenue. "The old
fashioned wife to whom marriage is
the only career is being replaced by
many of these employed married
women who flout the sacredness of
marriage and initiate against the
purposes of marriage which was the
propagation of children" Breitenbach
said. "Ths legislation will tend to
eliminate unemployment by stopping
married women from seeking employ
ment and force them to rear their
children and make better companions
to their husbands"

COLUMBUS, o. (FP) Jan. 81
The triennial convention of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks will
open in Columbus May IA. 1t is ex-
pected to last / week, as the number
of delegates has been cut so per cent
by referendum vote. The Kansas
City convention in 1925 was attended
by over 1000 delegates and lasted
over 2 weeks.
The clerks are still outside the
American Federation Of Labor be-
cause they will not surrender their
10000 express driver members to the
;eamsters, as ordered by the Atlantic
City A. F. of l.. convention in 1925.
AS they organized the drivers they
intend to hold them and any settle
ment with the transfers must be on
that basis, according to a Railway
Clerk vice-president.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
Certain sections of the democratic
party are supporting Rear Admiral
Charles P. Plunkett's recent speech
for a bigger navy and the warning
of war with Great Britain.
Punkett was vigorously defended
in the House of representa- ives To-
day by Congressman Loring M. Black,
democrat, of New York. "There is no
finer American in this country than
the commandant Of the New York
Navy Yard" Black said.
The congressman added that re-
cent article by Secretary of Com
merce Hoover describing Great Brit
aims great rubber monopoly was
more inflamatory than Admiral Plum
kett's preparedness speech.

Business Men Would

A demand for the immediate rid

Chamber of Commerce in letters to
Welfare Commissioner Coler and
Frank Hedley, president of the l. f..

The beggars by whom the Chamber
Of Commerce business men claim to
be annoyed are usually cripples who
have nowhere to turn for a living

ing aims are World War veterans,

1918-10 they were forced TO meet a
70 per cent increase in the cost of
living on wages which had advanced
only 26 per cent. In 1890 the cost
of living was up 100 per cent COM
pared with 1914 while office wages
had advanced about AZ per CEN. With
their 1920 wages clerical workers in
New York factories could purchase
less than u of the goods and services

last Sunday for miners relief, the
Pennsylvania Ohio-Colorado Miners
Relief Committee, 799 Broadway, re-
ported yesterday in general review
of activities during the last few days.
This followed the formation of the
Revere City Committee for Miners
Relief. With only few volunteers
active, a collection of S55 was made
in a few hours. This committee is
planning house-to-house collection
for clothes, blankets and shoes, and
will also place collection box in
every store in town.
Arrange Conferences.
A number of enlarged conferences
are being planned by existing relief
committees in this city and other or
carnations. The Brownsville and
East New York Women's Clubs are
preparing for Miners Relief Con-
ference to be held the latter part of
this month. An enlarged conference
will be held sometime during Febru-
airy by the Women's Committee for
Miners Relief, and the United Work
ers' Cooperative Association is con-
sidering calling a conference of all
cooperative organizations in this city.
Coop Restaurant Helps.
The Cooperative Restaurant and
Cafeteria, 80 Union Square, has al
ready contributed hundreds of dollars
for miners relief in a very direct
manner. Since relief activity was
started in this city about two months
ago, three or four striking miners
have always been in New York en-
gagged in soliciting aid for their strik-
ing brothers, and they have been fed
three meals day by the Cooperative
Cafeteria gratis. The actual amount

Manage Own Finances;
Second Issue

Describing it as "an important
working class undertaking" the Con-
sumers Finance Corporation, a sub
sidiary of the United Workers CO.
operative, has announced the issuance
of another gold bond issue of a quar-
ter of a million dollars to apply on
the second block of houses being built
by the Workers. Cooperative.
The Workers Cooperative at 2700
Bronx Park East is one of the mile
stones in the development not only of
the cooperative movement in the Uni

ment of the labor movement and the
working class.
Work Advances.
It's second block of houses now in
the process of construction has 1854
rooms made into 357 apartments.
These apartments have long since
been rented. The practice is to ac-
cept applications in the order in
which they are made. A waiting list
is then kept which is filled in turn.
In order to finance the large I'M
dertaking running into millions Of
dollars, the members of the coopera-
tive have organized their own Con-
sumers Finance Corporation with
headquarters at 60 Fifth Ave-, as a
means of raising their own funds and
establishing a sound basis for their
building.
Safety Assured.
Their practice is to il -ue gold
bonds secured by mortgage on the
property being built. The last issue
for $250,000 is secured by second
mortgage on the second block of
buildings. Guaranteed dividends of
per cent annually are paid from the
first day of deposit. Evidences of
the security of the investment are
offered in the following figures:

The cost of the houses under con-
struction is approximately S1,600,000.
After deducting for the first mort
gage, margin of safety" or an
equity" of $250,o00 still remains.
Lnasmuch as the workers themselves
make an additional investment, and
inasmuch as the whole enterprise is
being conducted not on a profit basis,
the announcement states that "these
gold bonds are one of the best issues
