WELFARE WORKERS
 DISCUSS! GIRL HOBO
Young Hitch Hikers Here to
 Stay, Worker Says

Chicago, Sept. (UP)-A dainty, self-reliant miss in knickers, wait ing by the roadside with thumb pointed toward the hills, typifles the new American girl problem. as described by Chicago social workers yesterday.
 The ease of hitch-hiking and the readiness with which other travellers pass out money are the two factors which are making hobos of girls" said Mrs. Edith Hennessey, exten- sion secretary of the Travellers Aid society.
 We head off all we can and send them back to their homes, but if they say they're over IS, we're help less. Most of them know that. and go their carefree way, unmolested.
 "A typical girl hobo, her few trinkets tied up in a handkerchief, said she was 19 and told us: You don't have to do anything for me. I can hitch-hike anywhere I want to go.'"
 Mrs. Blanche Reno, of the Sal vation Army, said the wandering girl problem has been increasing annually, but this year has been the worst we've ever seen.
 'The girls who drift into our quarters are not drug addicts and disreputable women. The majority are between 25 and 40, with no ties to hold them anywhere"
 The professional girl drifter has established herself to stay. Mrs. Christine Cuppinger. superintendent of the Chicago Woman's Shelter, agreed. Many. she added. travel with their husbands.
 "One woman with three children | stayed overnight with us," said Mrs. Cuppinger. The next day her hus- band arrived. He knew the ropes and had sent her ahead to get q nights lodging"

 LAWS PERPLEX|NG
American Tourists Furnish Prob lem for Judges in Dominion

Toronto, Ont, Sept. (Canadian Press)-United States tourists are encountering considerable difficulty in their efforts to interpret the On tario liquor control act.
 At Simcoe yesterday five Erie, Pa. men were assessed s1o0 and costs each for having liquor illegally. Ac- cording to the testimony given in court the men, employees of a United States manufacturing concern, along with 300 others, travelled by boat to Port Dover on a picnic. Prior to the return journey they purchased liquor and beer which was to be consumed on the boat.
 Counsel instructed one of them to plead not guilty in order that test case might be heard regarding the legality of a stateroom on the boat as 8 domicile under the wording of the act.
 T do not see how a boat moving around in the water can be called a mans residence" stated acting Mag istrate Langford. Tt would be a travesty of justice" He declined to order confiscation of the liquor.
 Held at Roadhouse I At a roadhouse near Toronto last night, police officers are alleged to have taken liquor from J. w. De- cumbe, Cleveland lawyer, who was dining there with his fiancee and Cor don McArthur, Toronto barrister and the latter's sister. The American had a tourists permit. McArthur claimed, and the liquor was purchas- ed on this.
 James Bailey, proprietor of the place said he had been operating it as a tourists lodge and that De- cumbe was properly registered.

Faker in Federation
of Jewish Charities
Has Grating Racket

NEW YORK.-An attempt to
graft on unemployed workers who
apply at the Committee On Home
less division of the Federation of
Jewish Charities was exposed today
by a jobless worker who went there
for aid. This Jewish charity dis
pensing outfit likes to brag of the
great services it does to the poor"
but in reality it is one of the CAPT
talist props.
The unemployed worker applied
for some clothes, as he was prac-
tically down to socks and under
shirt. Levin, the bureaucrat in
charge, tried to get him to promise
to pay back for the clothes on week
ly installments, and when the unem-
ployed worker told him this was a
new graft scheme, Levin hushed the
matter up.
The usual system of handling
unemployed workers in the Jewish
Charities or any other charities is
to handy them about from one fat
office official to another, until the
destitute worker is exhausted and

ALL. Men Disguised
With Green's Speech

NEW YORK.-Grafting officials
of the International Union of Oper-
ating Engineers may be in accord
with the ALL. president, William
Green, and his boost delivered in a
Labor Day" speech for Governor
Roosevelt of New York State.
Green says Roosevelt is "friend
of labor" But members of this
union hasten to explain, wrathfully,
that under Roosevelt's administra-
ton there has not been one union
engineer employed on either the
Hudson River Bridge, the Pough-
keepsie span Gust opened), the new
bridge over Croton Lake, or the
New York subways. These state
jobs work open shop, nine hours a
day, in violation of union conditions.
The sewer job at Mt. Vernon pays
its operating engineers we'll under
the union scale, and pays only twice
a month.
The Operating Engineers Union
is in the grip of an unusually ruth
less clique, some facts about which
will be exposed in coming issue of
the Daily Worker.

The girl is now a member of the
Salvation Army, which she Joined
after Howard had deserted her.
She appears to take her religion
seriously and tries to have her
former lover come to god" in the
usual Salvation Army style.
In her zeal to drive "sin" out of
the life of Howard, Ivy suddenly
finds herself in his arms and be-
fore she realizes what has hap
pened spends the night with him.
She then comes to the conclusion
that her religious activities have
been failure. She states she is
going back to her old job at the
roadhouse. Later a male member
of the organization openly displays
his love for her and the curtain
falls with the impression being Gre
ated that she will return to the
Salvation Army, marry the religious
fanatic and once again try to save
souls. Any ending but that would
have been logical and satisfactory.
Perhaps it was tackled on to soothe
the debunking of religion that takes
part in the earlier parts of the
play.

Torch Song" Exceptional
Good Drama at Plymouth

The Salvation Army has arrived
on Broadway via Kenyon Nichol-
sons play, "Torch Song" which
Arthur Hopkins is presenting these
nights. at the Plymouth Theatre.
Portrayed in the usual Hopkins
manner it turns out to be fine
play and, with the exception of the
ending, is one of the best dramas
seen in many a day. 1t is a pity
that after such an honest recital
for two and half acts the play
flops into an unconvincing ending.
However, on the whole it is a su-
perior play and one that is worthy
of attention.
The story concerns Ivy Stevens,
singer in small Ohio town road
house, who is deserted by travel
ing salesman. The drummer, How
ard Palmer, reasons that although
Ivy is the girl he loves, the boss's
daughter is better financial in
vestment when it comes to choosing
wife.
Almost year later Howard finds
himself in another small Ohio town
on a Saturday evening. Just as he
is preparing for a night of carous-
ing Ivy walks into the hotel lobby.

YOUTH DAY MEET IN
JERSEY CITY, SEPT. 9

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. g.
The Young Communist League
here announces that the Interna
tional Youth Day mass meeting at
Newark and Jersey AYES. will be
held on Sept. 9 in spite of refusal
of the police to grant a permit.
Today the Y. C. L. served formal
notice on the city commission that
the capitalist press of Jersey City
says that the chief of police has de-
clared he will not give permit, and
the Y. C. L. officially demands a
permit from the commission.
This is the latest act in a COM
edy the city officials tried to play
last week with the young workers
of this city. Four times the COM
mittee of the Y. c. L. went to the
police station, and was sent to the
city hall. Twice they went to the
city hall, and were sent to the po-
lice station. Several times the chief
pretended to be out. Finally, after
he had been trapped in his office by
a phone call, and had made an ap-
pointment with the committee, he
was caught sneaking out by the COM
mittee, which had arrived little
early.

CHI. TRACTION
CRAB AIDS ONLY
The INTERESTS
insult Firm Scraps Aid
to Jobless Pledge

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Two months
have passed since the traction grab
went over! During the campaign to
put it across it was argued by the
city politicians, the traction mag
mates and the A. F. of l.. takers
that the passage of the traction
ordinance would solve the unem-
ployment situation by creating jobs
for thousands and thousands of
workers on the elevated and surface
lines, etc.
The Communist Party was the
only organization to fight against
the attempt of the insult interests
to take over the streets of Chicago
for ever. But with the enormous
sums of money thrown into the
campaign by the traction magnates
and the resultant backing of the
capitalist press, the Chamber of
Commerce, the so-called civic or
CARNATIONS and the always depend
able tools of the bosses-the A. F.
of L. fakers-the grab went over.
Two months have passed and I'M
employment has not only not de-
creased in Chicago, but it has in
creased enormously and is increas-
ing daily. The Chicago Federal
Reserve Bank admits in its last
monthly review that "Payrolls fell
off to a greater extent as result
of further reduced time schedules
in many plants and wage reduc-
tions in some lines. Data received
from 1905 firms showed a decline
of lie per cent in number of en-
ployes and 7.3 per cent in pay rolls
between June Is and July IS"
To distract the attention of the
workers from their miserable con-
ditions and to induce forgetfulness
of past fake promises, the bosses
are now "whooping it up" with
war show. The air races were
staged to Undue starving workers
with patriotism and prepare them
psychologically for an attack
against the Soviet Union.

mittees. The workers were very
enthusiastic.
The police, who came on the scene
towards the close of the meeting
with the pretext that they had been
sent for by the bosses who reported
that there was some trouble, who
could see no reason for their being
there and resented their interfer-
ence. The meeting was successfully
concluded. Notice of all future
meetings were announced at the
