WASHINGTON, Dec. 9,-Besides
the $1,OO0,OOO,OOO for war purposes
contained in the budget offered to
Congress by Hoover, a bill for an
additional $134,635 900 for naval arm

against the Soviet Union, but not one
penny is being provided for relief
of the unemployed, or for unemploy-

an additional $134635,OOO for war

MANGER WORKERS

NEW YORK.-The Trade Union
Unity League is calling upon the
workers of the Manager Hotel to or

maids received a 50 wage-cut, and,
in addition to this, increased work

and now they must clean rs rooms.
Besides this, the workers are forced
to take one weeks vacation every
month without pay.

from 10 workers to 6. More workers
are expected to be laid off soon.

Community Chest Fund GiVes
Armored Car to Fight JoblesS

Long exposed as one of the numer-
our fake charity outfits of the bosses
organized to furnish positions" and
big salaries for their friends and
relatives, the Community Chest Fund
which exploits the miseries of the
unemployed and uses hold-up meth
DDS to extract money from workers
still in the factories, is not only us
ing the monies it collects to support
the militarization of workers chill
dren by big donations to the Boy
Scouts, but is actually helping the
bosses to arm against the rising
wrath of the working class.
This is shown in Buffalo, N. Y,
where the Fund has contributed two
armored cars to the city's armory of
lethal weapons for use against the
unemployed.
In addition to furnishing the city
of Buffalo with these two armored
cars, the Community Chest Fund has
also equipped IA other armored cars
in the city with machine guns in
the bosses plot to sorve the unem-
ployment problem by shooting down
workers who revolt against the char
ity handouts of stale bread and slop
coffee and demand real relief thru
unemployment insurance.
In the meantime, the Fund, sup
ported by the bosses, is using sledge-
hammer tactics to collect forced
contributions" from workers in the
shops. In the Macintosh Seymour
Plant at Auburn, N. z, they came
around and handed out the usual
apple sauce and black lacked the
workers out of contributions from
their already meager wages. After
they had left, the bosses announced
a general wage cut of 1914 per cent.
In Syracuse, the manager of the
Community Chest Fund draws the
huge salary of $4,000 a year for
shedding crocodile tears over the sad
plight of the unemployed and man
euvering fake relief.
In Auburn, NJ Y, where the "pick-
ings" are smaller, the Fund manager
draws $4,000 a year,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-12-10

In st. Louis, the Fund had in its
last fiscal year a tremendous over
head of $16ooo0 a year! Most of
this went for huge salaries and joy
ride expenses.
OF the money left over after de-
Quoting this huge overhead, the Fund
gave $4,000 to the Boy Scouts to
further the work of militarizing the
children of the workers, $16,340 to
the Girl Scouts, and, indulging in
the usual boss discrimination against
the Negroes, it gave $11,801 to the
White Old Folks Home, and $4,169
to the Jim Grow Negro Old Folks
Home.
In other cities the story is the
same: high salaries to officials, and
support to anti-working class organ
izations like the Boy Scouts, etc.
