Working Class Income
Off 1877 in Year

WASHINGTON, July II. - The
statement yesterday made by Fran
els I. Jones, director general of the
Federal Employment Service (not
to furnish any jobs, but only to
collect statistics), shows how COM
pletely ridiculous is the lie of Hoo
yer and his census figures about
"2.7 per cent of the total poula-
ton" being jobless. 1t also ought
to end, for the shameless fascist
liars of the A. F. of L., their claim
that there have been no wage cuts
For June, as compared to May
reckoned on reports from 39,903 es-
adjustments with 40 $50 workers
in thirteen industrial groups, en-
ployment fell off in the one month,
1.8 per cent, while payroll totals
fell off 2.7 per cent, showing wage
cuts of those left at work. Here the
payroll total for one week was at
the rate of $3.50.

employment fell off 2.5 per cent
from May to June, while payroll
totals fell full A per cent.
Reckoning from the monthly av-
erage of 1926 as 100, the compare
tive figures for June and May,
compared with each other and with
June last year, show:
Employment

1929 1880
June May June
99.8 87T 85.5
This clearly shows that employ
ment fell on these comparative fig
ures % points from May to June
this year, and that June this year
was 1873 points below a year ago
This proves how scandalous are the
lies poured out of Washington about
there being only around 2,400,00C
jobless in the whole country.
On how wage totals, the income
of the whole working class, have
fallen, the same comparative fig
ures, based on 1926, show:

This clearly shows that the tota
working class income was cut dowr
3.5 points from May to June this
year, while from June last year tt
June this year the working class
wage income was cut down 49,

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, July 10
Asserting that the New York City ad-
ministration Is honeycombed with graft
and corruption, the Socialist Party
State Convention here today asked Gov.
Roosevelt to call an extraordinary
session Of the Legislature to appoint
a Multi-PartiSan Commission to in
vestigate the administration Of the
Metropolis.
The resolution calling for the in
vestigation said:
The degree of municipal government
has reached a new low level In New
York City, wh-re professedly liberal
Governor has not dared to offend the
New York City machine by investigat-
ing any of the open scandals that have
disgraced it."
ALBANY, N. Y, July 10 R.-
Senator John Knight Of Arcade, ma
Jority leader of the State Senate, in a
formal statement tonight told Gov
Roosevelt that in view OF recent scan
dals an investigation into New York
Ctty'S government was imperative. He
said that only the State could investi-
gate properly, that the Republican
controlled Legislature would do every
thing it could to assist the inquiry, and
that all that was lacking was a call
from the Governor for an extra session
OF the Legislature TO enact the legisla-
ton necessary for the investigation.
In his statement, given by telephone
from his home, Senator knight said
that the Board Of Standards and Ap-
peais OF New York City, has been
brought under the gravest suspicion as
source Of graft heretofore unequaled. !"

Did you ever pay Norris of Broken
Bow any amount?"

his candidacy, and said he had pre-
pared an AFFIDAVIT of withdrawal. The
attorney said he went to Lincoln at the
request of Yale Huffman, Broken Row
banker and friend of Senator Norris.

ney produce the records of his law firm
