Since their failure some months ago

Jobless Workers Camp by
Thousands on Lake Shore
Starving, They Search City Garbage Dumps for

by a Worker Correspondent

by q Worker Correspondent.)
TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 31.-Thous-
ands of workers here who cannot
afford to rent houses, due to I'M
employment, are camping out in
tents along the lake front. Few
of them have money enough to buy
the necessary food to supply thier
families, and even now while the
weather is warm there is intense
suffering among them. What it
will be when winter sets in can
easily be imagined.
Every day you can see women
and men with baskets or bags
roaming about hunting for weeds
or perhaps chance to steal some
thing from a farmers field.
Fifty of the children of these job
less workers have died during the
past few weeks from under-nourish-
ment, while hundreds of others have
been sent to tuberculosis camps as
a result of exposure. And this hap
pens right between "of the worlds
most progressive industrial cities"
like Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland.
Many of these workers worked
at the Overland Automobile Com
pany which last year employed
$4,000 workers but now has cut
down to about $500. And of these
latter, many are on a cheap month
ly (instead of weekly payroll, and
forced to work IL and Is hours a
day, Saturday and Sunday inclu-
sive, with the bosses constantly
threatening them with unemploy-
ment if they dare to protest.
"Close your mouth or join the buns
on the lake shore" they are told.
Some of them average as low as
Is cents an hour.
1t certainly is a frightful situa-
ton here when you can see hundreds
of workers every day searching the

conditions as they are, the workers
sure have to do something about it.

KENSINGTON, Pa, Aug. 81
Outright robbery of a thousand

them that it was against the laws"
to go from house to house and ask
the workers to sign the Communist
petition on Sunday. The Signatures
were therefore declared to be illegal
and invalid.
This is a deliberate attempt of
the bosses to keep the Communist
Party of the ballot. There is
widespread discomfort among the
workers who readily sign the Com
munist lists. This is known to the
Shiny city officials and hence the
new tactics, under the guise of the
blue laws, to fight against the
growing influence of the Commu-
mist Party and to use every means
in their power to keep the work.
ers from voting Communist.
AS proof that the "blue law"
episode is the purest fake is the
fact that the A. F. of L. has organ
lied meeting for next Sunday,
when lot of democratic politicians
will speak" against injunctions.
The whole purpose of confiscating
of the signatures and declaring
them invalid was to keep the Com
munists from getting on the ballot
and appealing to wide masses of
workers.
This latest trick of the bosses to
attempt to keep the Communists
off the ballot will not stop increased
activities to get even greater num-
hers of workers. SIGNATURES
