NEW YORK-A tragic story OF
ill-treatment and robbery OF needy
unemployed Negro workers by the
Harlem Cooperative Relief Commit
tee. headed by Rev. Shelton Bishop,
was brought into the office Of the
Daily Worker yesterday by two COL
ored unemployed workers.
This relief racket which was several
times exposed in the Daily Worker
has been collecting money under the
uretense of relieving the terrible mis-
erv of the tens of thousands OF IN
EMPLOYED workers in Harlem. 1t has
sent out touching appeals warning
the capitalists of the growing unrest
of starving unemployed workers OF
Harlem. and admitting that scores OF
families are being evieted each day
in Harlem. Rev. Bishop is chairman

surer, and other Negro business men
and landlords have their hands in
the pie.
These takers help only their friends
who happen not to be UNEMPLOYED.
While denying money to help unem-
ployed workers pay their rent, they
brazenly use funds collected for "un-
employed relief" to pay the rent of
their friends, as for instance paving
$75 a month rent for one man al
though both himself and his wife are
working.
When the really needy unemuloyed
workers go to them for help they pre-
tend an investigation" and create a
bad character for the applicant in
order to avoid giving relief. When
they do give relief, they forced TIN
employed workers to sign for ten dol
lars though they give them only So.
The rest they pocket while entering
$40 in their records. When the work
ers are forced to return after doing
the best they could with the lousy So.
they are sternly told there's no more
relief" If the workers protest. they
laugh and shrug their shoulders at
their misery. Mothers with their chill
dren starving have been denied re-
lief. One woman with six children
was forced to leave the office in
tears. She had been told to break I'D
her home and put her children in a
charity home.
Other workers have been told TO
give up their flats and take a room.
Tthey are then sent to members of
the clique who keep disorderly hous-
es. While the mothers are out hunt
ing for work, the children are raw
ished by bootleggers and others who
frequent these houses.
In addition, Rev. Bishop conducts
his own private racket, a private
camp, to which he insists that IN
employed mothers send their chill
dren. He charges huge fees for the
children, and pays himself out of
the treasury of the committee.
Rev. Bishop also induces the
workers to put their things in stor-
age when following the committees
advice to break up their homes. One
worker stands to lose all her furni-
ture because after putting her things
III storage on his advice, he refused
to pay NE bill which ran up to $50.

handouts to native born Negro work
ers. the Committee grossly discrimi-

NOTE-The following letter from
the Trade Union Unity Council of
New York was accompanied with
a donation of $50 to the campaign
to save the Daily Worker.
Dear Comrades:
The Trade Union Unity Council
at a recent meeting, took up the
campaign of the Daily Worker. The
Council has pointed out to all It's
unions and leagues that they are re-
sponsible for the very bad financial
situation that the Daily finds itself
in. The Trade Union Unity Council
and its affiliated organizations de-
pend great deaf upon the Daily
Worker for the support of their
strikes and campaigns, but SO far,
we have to admit that none of our
unions and leagues have given any
substantial support to the Daily
Worker, 1t was seemingly taken for
granted that they are entitled to
the support of the Daily Worker
without them, in turn, doing their
utmost to build the circulation and
strengthen the position of the Daily
amongst the working masses.
In other words, our unions and
leagues do not yet realize what a
blow 1t would be to the whole work.

Dear Editor.
We see the starving miners suffer-

and starvation, but we can't have the
steel workers out of this struggle.
What is happening in the metal
and steel factories? In the McKees-
port Tin Plate Company there is a
runor that there is going to be a
Wage-cut within a month.
The workers are driven to the limit
while they work, and then we are
only working three and four days a
week.

Let's look at what's happening In

chine guns are being brought into
the factory and beds are being set
up. The company is preparing TO
