The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-01-04

The Salvation Army and the New
York Times handed out few hun.
dred Christmas baskets on Christ
mas Day. The Times announced
that it had discovered a hundred
'most neediest cases." and offered
its columns to capitalists who
wanted some publicity and a char.
ity wreath about their names. The
Times notified its readers that ex.
ploiter so-and-so had sent in few
hundred, and sobbingly announced
/ that it would take care of the "need-
lest cases."
The Daily Worker reported want
ed to find out how these "neediest
cases" were getting along after
they had eaten their Christmas din
ner. There is whole year between
Christmas dinners, and sometimes
even more than that between jobs.
He went down the Bowery on New
Years Day when everybody was
supposed to be hailing the new year
with joy in his heart and looking
forward to another year of pros
perity. The New York Times does
not give the addresses of those on
whom it, lavishes it's charity so the
reporter walked down the Bowery,
knowing that. this was one of the
places where he was most likely to
meet at least 100 "neediest cases."
He was not disappointed. He met
many more than one hundred.
There is very little of cheer
whether for the New Year or hang
ing over from Christmas-below
Fourth Street. The Christmas din
ners seemed to have given out a
long time ago, and whatever clothes
charity had given had gone their
way to the pawnbroker for some
food. Walk down Third Avenue
and reach the lower end of Cooper
Union Square and you have come
to the Bowery. You need only look
at the meagerly clothed, hungry
looking workers walking about on
the streets to know that you are
there.
1t was cold. The workers stood
in groups, or stood listlessly about
waiting for something that never
seemed to come. Many of the work.
ers here are transient workers,
travelling via hobo express to any
place there might be a job lurking.
Many of them represent the lowest
strata of the working class-com-
pleteiy submissive to the will and
aims of the system, knocked out by
hunger, joblessness and all kinds of
degrading work. From these ranks
bosses obtain strikebreakers. They
are barely kept alive by the Saliva
ton Army outposts on the Bowery.
1t is significant to note that in this
section there exist side by side with
the Salvation Army posts the So
called Interstate Labor Agency
bosses organizations for the trans
port of scab labor from one state to
another.
When the worker has spent a
charitable night at the Salvation
Army dMemorial Hospital on the
Bowery, the next day he can 90 to
the scabbing agencies in search for
a job. If he refuses to take the
job the Salvation captain will then
say to him, "Well, now see here,
there's job for you. You simply
don't want to work so we can't keep
you here" Charity always has it's
strings to it and the well-organized
charity in this country has turned
it's strings into chains with which
to bind it's victims.
The reporter ventured into the
Salvation Army Memorial Hotel.
Workers were huddled in the hall
