PROMISES SCAB
SUPPLY IN SOUTH
Bosses of Birmingham,
Ala, In New Scheme

Especial to the Daily Worker
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May r.
The local Chamber of Commerce of
this city has recently adopted new
method of advertising the scab
agencies.
The Chamber of Commerce has
recently issued a booklet entitled
Birmingham, the Industrial City,"
which is full of lies about the in
dustrial prosperity and progress in
the city of Birmingham. In the
booklet they call upon the exploiters
of different parts of the country to
come and invest in Birmingham, and
they promise these exploiting in
vestors that they will supply them
with slaves from other parts of
Tennessee and thereby furnish cheap
labor to the northern capitalists
who are running away from the
steady revolt of the workers of the
North.
The booklet urges other states to
take up the matter of establishing
shipping agencies for the furnish
ing of cheap labor to the centers of
exploitation.
The entire object of this booklet
is revealed in the statement that
they call upon the various COM
panies that have been instrumental
in breaking strikes, such as the
United Steel Corporation to cooper
ate with them. They will have
agencies then that will furnish
black and white workers to scab
upon the workers in the striking
areas with the cooperation of the
Coal and Iron police of the various
companies.

buildings can be built even below the
minimum provided in the law of
1901.
Tenement Law for Rich.
The respectable citizens of this
commission seemed to forget entirely
about the old law tenements which
make tenement conditions what they
are. Even Clarence Stein, who is
unusually honest for a state investi-
gator, is forced to admit that sin
regard to these buildings the pro-
posed law does nothing or next to
nothing" and he calls it tenement
house law for the rich"
Even if the changes called for in
this law are made "a large part of
the rooms will still have no outside
means Of ventilation; the stairways
will not be protected from fire; the
fire-escapes will not serve as a safe
means of escape; there will be no
privacy or safety from disease in the
toilets" says Stein.
That is the new housing law that
was passed by the state legislature,
signed by the governor. Like all the
others passed before it it is a fake,
designed with the double purpose OF
fooling the workers and helping the
landlords.

Measures in New York State

notoriety. That set the landlords
busy again and they had their state
housing commission report on con-
ditions that everybody knew of. AS
a result the Tenement House Law of
1901 was produced. 1t is supposed
to have doomed the double-deck
d u m b b ell apartments (box-like
strung out unventilated cages), the
community toilets, dark halls, and
have made compulsory airshafts to
supply air and light to all rooms,
fire-proof public halls and stairs,
and adequate disposal of garbage,
etc.
And Today.
According to this law many of the
tenements standing in 1901 are de-
clared unfit for human habitation
and should have been demolished.
But today, in 1929, nearly all of
these tenements are filled to capacity
without having gone thru ap-
preciable alterations.
At the beginning of 1928, 554,-
OCT apartments in old law tene-
ments Chose built before the 1901
law went into effect were oc-
cupied, housing about $500, 900
people.
A Better One.
If you think that this is a good
example of how little laws really
count when passed and administered
by capitalist government, there is
a still better one that even Clarence
Stein, of the State Commission of
Housing and Regional Planning, had
to admit. In 1885 the New York
Tenement House Commission re-
ported as public menace" % tene-
ments covering 100 per cent of
the lot and at the same time situated
in middle of the block, in which the
bedrooms are totally dark with no
ventilation whatever" Now, 40
years later, IA of these are still oc-
cupied. There are thousands of
similar tenements in New York
City" says Stein.
The Tenement House Law went
thru $50 amendments before the
Multiple Dwellings Bill took it's place
in 1929. In spite Of this law and it's
$50 amendments, 40 per cent of the
families in New York City live in
old law tenements, and Barry
Parker, a housing expert for the
British government, who has seen
and Investigated slums in every part
of the world including Dublin and
London, says:
Worst in World.
"The condition OF life in any slums
l have ever seen are better than they
are in the slums of New York"
At present at the rate with which
the old law tenements are being
withdrawn from use, it would take
more than 100 years to get rid of
them.

euyers in the state legislature, is the
most useless scrap Of paper ever
filed.
Two years ago the state legis-
lature formed a commission to
examine and revise the Tenement
House Law. AS result of the ac-
tivities of this commission the Dwell
lings Bill was offered last year and
defeated because of the objections
raised by the representatives Of
realty interests. What the realty in
terests wanted was an annulment Of
the law of 1901 and legislation that
would permit them to build higher
class apartments with as little re-
striction as possible.
Landlords APPROVE 1t.
Accordingly, three additional mem
bers, appointed by the real estate
boards of Manhattan, Brooklyn and
Queens, were added to the commits
sion and redrafted the law in such
a way that it received the united sup
port of the real estate and landlord
interests. That means, of course,
that the law provides absolutely no
changes for the tenements in which
the mass of workers are housed.
