HOOVER HUNGER

for Real Relief

clashes. They are collecting their
forces to keep the workers in star
walton. In Evanston the rich para
sites are arming against the unem-
ployed.
Wall Street Takers.
The fake nature of Hoover's Gun
employment Committee" is admit
ted by some of the foremost Wall
Street organs. The Journal of
Commerce, a Wall Street newspaper
which speaks for the leading ex-
ploiters of the country-but it is not
meant for the eyes of the workers
-devotes its leading editorial show
ing the mockery of Hoover's prom
Use of relief. They say:
"Mr. Hoover would, of course,
be politically doomed were he to
fail at this time, particularly in
view of the coming elections, to
give evidence of activity in en-
deavor to relieve unemployment
at is therefore hardly fair to
criticize his efforts on the ground
of their inevitable futility."
These words should impress
themselves into the brain of every
worker: Inevitable futility!" The
bosses know that Hoover's promise
of relief is futile. 1t will not save
one worker who is out of a job from
starving or freezing to death this
winter. 1t is an election maneuver
1t is sham, which will be followed
up by the organization of the local
police forces, judges and jails
against the unemployed, to get
around the demand for real relief
put forward by the Communist
Party in its Unemployed Insurance
Bill.
VIII Deepen Crisis.
Worse still! The Journal of Com
merce "fears" that Hoover's lamp
ering with the unemployment situa-
ton will worsen the crisis, as did
his formation of the so-called Ma
tional Business Council last Novem-
Der. The Journal of Commerce says
that "his (Hoover's) plans for re-
lieving unemployment have carried,
and apparently still carry, pro-
grams that definitely tend to make
recovery more difficult" They
say he should pay a little more at
tention to cutting wages. They
think Hoover is looking to much for
votes at this particular moment
when he should be telling Green,
Woll & Co. of the A. F. of L. how
to slash wages of millions more
workers.
That the whole Hoover unem-
ployment committee is full of liars
and takers is an admission made in
the leading editorial of The New
York World (Oct. 20). The pur-
pose of the World is not to embar-
rass the bosses in their attempt to
fool the workers, but they feel that
the men Hoover put on his COM
mittee are so thoroughly discredited
that they cannot perform their
proper function of hoodwinking a

The big power shovel of the Siems-Spokane Go. has rough graded the last section of the Texas Creek highway to a point about 31 of a mile be- yond Ibex Creek and is now op- arating close to the Malcolm Smith ground. Excellent prog ress is being made on the pro- ject and it is now practically certain that the contract will b e completed considerably ahead of time.
 The Bureau of Public Roads has completed about 112 miles of base or coarse surfacing on ;he grade constructed by the Gardner company east of Ibex Creek. Surfacing on this unit will consist of two layers of crushed rock, the base, of coarse material, being about 6 inches thick, with an overlying layer of finer material about 4 inches deep. Surfacing ma terial is provided by a rock crusher located near the Carl son cabin. About 60 men are employed on the construction operations.
