The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-11-22

And you can use your credits for
tobacco and cast-off clothing, provid-
ing that you have enough working
hours to your credit to pay for the
same.
I was told that at present the
Home has rs men working at the
Aviation Field for hours a day, and
another crew splitting wood for the
home" On November the 4th I also
saw some men at work who belong
to the home" on a lot on Cataldo
Ave, 10 or IL of them
Welfare Birds Exploit Jobless.
And who is behind this sham
charity? The Social Welfare
Society In connection with the SAL
walton Army" and other such opium
peddlers, because no other outfit
would have the brazen nerve to call
this charity" If I remember right in
the year of 1861 to 1865 our fore
fathers fought the Civil War to free
the colored slaves in the south. (Any-
how that is as we learned in school.
But alas in the year Of 1880 the
bosses are doing their damnest to
bring us right back to the point of
chattel slavedom again. But we
must remember before the Civil War
the chattel slaves in the south and
their families were well taken care
of, because they represented wealth,
where the white and the black slave
of today has to work for his board
and flop. And Il he happens to
have family depending on him,
what of them? So you see, working
men and women the master class
with all their charity" will soon
have us working people down lower
than the chattel slaves were before
the Civil War.
Now you may ask: why are they
doing all this for us starving and
homeless hungry workers." In the
first place the politicians wanted to
make political propaganda out. of
your misfortune by making the work
ing class believe, that they are really
doing something for you, trying as
they always did to fool you to vote
dor them again and after election as
usual forget all about you and your
misery. Second they wanted to put
the So-called Hotel De Ginks out of
business.
According to newspapers Of Octo-
Der oath at the meeting Of the pub
licity committee of the Spokane
County Coordination Bureau over
which G. Carpenter, president a
John F. Davis at the opening of the
meeting let the cat out of the bag by
saying: zone problem of the Co.
ordination Bureau is the Hotel De
Ginks." He( Davis said further:
When the Salvation Army began
feeding men at their home, some ate
and refused to work. These were
quickly convinced that Spokane was
a mo work no eat town." adding:
"the Vagrant class left the city"
Now there you have 1t; If you are
out Of work and unable to find work,
you are vagrant, in the eyes of the
bosses. But If you are satisfied with
what organized charity" will give
you, work eight hours for your slum-
COLON and flop you are a nice
doggy. And, oh my! how this bunch
Of organized hypocrites are trying
their damnest to put the Hotel De
Ginks" out Of business, they even
stopped so low as to suggest to ask
the City Commissioners to condemn
the old Shade Brewery" building
thus forcing the unemployed out and
out and into the new organization,
on the north side, and to give the re-
ligious dope peddlers chance to ex-
plot and rob them.
No Jobs For Money.
We have here in Spokane thou
sands of so-called "Homeguards" who
are property owners and taxpayers
out Of work, lots of them with big
families, many Of them living on the
north side and near the Aviation
Field who would welcome any chance
to work and earn a few dollars to
feed and cloth their hungry and
starving ones, why not give those
men a chance to work and earn the
81 or $3.50 day in wages the city
or county calls for? Instead Of send
ing lot Of men to do the work just
for slop and a flop without pay?
Robbing women and little children Of
their food. am sure If the truth
were known someone or some click
has their fingers in the pie some
where and gets good rake-of Of
this new workers home.
And this they call Organized
Charity" where in fact it is nothing
but the dirtiest, foulest and filthiest
kind Of graft.
An Unemployed Worker.
