GIFTS TO BE MADE up

100000 of the Reserve Fund and the $4,000 gift
from the Inaugural Committee, originally intended
for the Reserve Fund, added to the regular
subscriptions of 1880 to meet the need created by
unemployment This additional sum of $15O00O is
necessary merely to stay even with last years
appropriations to member organizations.
Several wealthy contributors have died. Others have
left the city. Many who gave last year are now out
of work and need aid themselves.
Those who can give more in this human emergency
must do so! GIVE MORE-THE NEED IS GREATER.

In this 1881 campaign for 1881, your
Community Chest through larger gifts
and more gifts must raise 1888, 900 or
$3.50 more for 1881 than was actually
raised for 1880 for 90 local Charities
and the American Red Cross Drought
Relief.
Here are the reasons for the
necessary incr eases of 1881:
UNEMPLOYMENT
Washington's charitable organizations have the
heaviest burden of unemployment relief in the his
tory of city. More heads of families out Of
work than ever before. There more families with
exhausted resources; more with broken morale.
More people are sick from privation.
There more people than ever in citys history
unable to pay all part of the cost of hospital and
nursing care.
There broken families and more children
applying for admission to orphan asylums
There people crowding into character
building organizations for wholesome of unem-
ployed time

Detroit, Mich.

Detroit, Mich.
Dear Comrades:
If we were to believe the capitalist
sheets, than good times are here. A
big headline in the front page of the
Detroit Times says that the city has
hired 1900 men for city cleaning.
They hired these 1900 men out of the
flophouses, for what they called "vol-
unteer work"
And what do they get for this
volunteer work." No money, slip
of credit for a weeks wages, that
none of the banks will cash. For
food they get a lousy lunch, hardly
fit to eat, and one bowl of slop or
dishwater with a hunk of bread that
farmer wouldn't give to his pigs,
for supper. No wonder the papers
are able to say that the city of De-
troit has saved $4,000. This saving
comes from the pockets of the D.
P. w. workers and of those 1900 they
have hired.
Is Cents for a Days Food
The Welfare Department of De-

men in the Lighthouses at a cost of
1890. a day, even then poisoning
them. Then what of the men in
the McGregor Institute, who receive

food the men have to work hours

tBy a worker correspondent
WILMINGTON, Del--A most vi
eious anti-sedition bill, having al
ready passed the house without a
single Dissenting vote is now before
the state senate. This bill has been
declared unconstitutional, but despite
this there is now new organiza-
tion, composed of American Legion
Men and called the "Sojourners,"
boasting that they have been formed
for the purpose of combating Com
munisnn.
These "Sojourners," main sponsors
Of the bill, have issued statement
that such bill is not unconstitu-
tional. and the passage of such a
bill will not take away the rights of
free speech. This, Of course, is to
reassure any doubtful elements, and
just blind to prevent any protest
on the part of the workers.
The workers OF Wilmington are now
organizing a conference to protest
against such a bill.
All emergency committees, having
supplied a few Jobs. have been cut
off by the city, because no more con-
tributions are coming in.
Factories are closing down contin-
uously, the latest being the big leath-
er factories, which constitute one Of

CLOSE ALL RELIEF

Daily Worker:
Rockford, III.
I had an income Of two or three
hundred dollars last year which I
spent for travel looking for farm
work.
This naturally was not enough TO
exist on so 1 decided I'd ask for re-
lief, went to the City Hall where I
was told to go to the Relief Commit
tee ONCE.
There I found Mayor Hallstrom
and 50 Relief Committee men. One
of them listened to me and then sent
me to the Rockford Welfare ASCOT
alton, where they asked me a lot of
questions. They gave me $500 each
week for two weeks. Then they
sent me instead to the Salvation
Army flop houses" and to a soup
line. Here they fed so jobless work
ers on coffee and stale bread, 2 times
a day, between and 7 in the morn
ing and four to five O'Clock in the
afternoon.
The boarders began to complain
which angered the sky-pilots very
much. On account of this complaint
Mr.. Lyons, sec'y of the Rockford
Community fund and associate to the
Salvation Army placed a note on the
wall that since all the workers could
get odd jobs now, no flop houses or
bread lines would be necessary, and
starting April S The Salvation Flop
Houses on the West Side and the
soup line would be shut down.
We have no job, but they close
down this little bit of relief, the best
thing we can do is to organize into
unemployed councils and affiliate
ourselves with the Trade Union Unity
League. We must put up a fight
and force these big bugs to give u,

REFUSE AID FOR

County and Company
Both Cypress
Miners
(By a Worker Correspondent

AVELLA, Pa-Some Of the mines
here have shut down entirely, and
some work one or two days a week.
Besides this, the companies are fore
ing the miners to rent houses from
them, and to buy groceries from their
stores. The company collects the
rent first, without asking about the
school kids and women getting
enough to eat.
In many of these mining towns,
women line up and wait in front Of
the company office. until a telephone
call comes that her husband or boy
has dumped car of coal. Then she
can get something to feed her kids.
A bunch of the P. and w. miners
marched to the Washington County
Court on April 1st to demand relief
from the county. The authorities
said that they are not concerned
about those that work one day a
week. One of the Negro miners said
that he will not go back to see his
kids starve, no matter what happen
ed to him. But the authorities do
not care what the miners say.
Yes, our conditions and miseries
could compare. with those of the
Chinese miners, whose conditions the
American bosses are crushing.

Daily Worker:
The Chicago Tribune published
lies about the Soviet Union by
saying that even tailor did not
have a button to sew his coat, but
the Tribune does not publish the
fact that the American working class
conditions are such that the workers
have not got the clothes to sew the
buttons on. Of course, there are
plenty of clothes in the warehouses,
but the workers who have produced
these clothes have to wear old cast
off rags, which spread disease among
the working class.
There are many fake charity mis-
sions including this Gov. Emmerson
Relief, branch on SO Wabash Ave,
for unemployed women. After one
makes out an application, permission
is given to pick a pair of shoes, may
be if you are lucky, dress too, if
you wait couple of hours.
However their conditions, the w.
Monroe st. breadline for women
which has been on since December
is closing today (too many people
getting jobs, say they. The Volun-

Miss Thomas, who stated that there

From the Southern Worker
Elizabethton, Tenn.
I am an unemployed widow woman
with four small kids to support. I
cannot find any work.
I went to the Red Cross relief pen
to see if I could get anything for my
starving children. After waiting all
day I managed to get into the ques
tionnaire department. After she had
asked me all sorts of fool questions
she told me to come back next week
and if my character and qualifications
we're sufficient I could get some help
after 1 would be investigated,
My children and myself have been
without anything to eat for TWO
DAYS already. So am starving,
while they are eating and inveStigat-
ing.
Workers, thought the government
appropriated the money to preserve
human life, but the way it is handled
it looks very much like it is to keep
some people from starving and bring
misery and slow death by starvation.
I wish all hungry people were of
the same notion. We would unite
and 60 get something for our hungry
kids. But if I go by myself they will
put me in Jail and throw my kids
on the street, so will just starve with
them.

HORN & HARDART
DOUBLE WORK IN
PHILADELPHIA
Bosses Play Off the
White Workers On
Negro Workers
Philadelphia, Pa,

Phlladelphla, Pa,
Daily Worker:
At the present time you can hear
a lot of complaining on the bosses in
all the small and large restaurants.
This is true of the Horn Hardart
Co. The workers work long hours
and under double speed-up. Where
ten workers worked before, only five
work now. The work is increased,
but the wages are decreased.
Stir Up Hatred.
The workers are of different ma
tionalities, including Negroes. They
hate each other SO that the white
and colored workers tell the bosses
how much food the other workers
eat. Every worker has to work one
hour longer, for which he is not paid,
polishing and cleaning the tables.
The bosses have made a rule that
every worker has to buy a pair of
shoes of the kind they tell you. The
bosses of a shop who makes shoes
and stocking have an alliance with
our company, by which the workers
of our company must buy those ma
terials, from the other company.
Mulct Workers.
When you start to work you have
to be examined by their doctor. Then
in the following few weeks you are
member of their benefit association.
That means IS cents every week for
the association. Then there is box
standing, in which you must put
money for the unemployed. From
the little money that you receive
each week you can be sure that you
have only an empty envelope left for
all your hard work. The benefit is
only good while you are working for
the company, but when we are sent
home from work it expires.
The bosses try TO make good
business by attracting the custom
ers' attention by telling the girls
to wear their uniforms up to their
knees. And. of course, the rules
are Obeyed, because the workers
do not belong to any organization.
The only way to abolish all these
things is for all the eoIored and
white workers to unite and fight
together for their rights. But a,
long as they are separated the
bosses will keep on exploiting the
workers. Horn Hardart Worker.

Jobless Driven Hard:

Detroit, Mich.

DetrolC, Mich.
Dear Comrade:
The unemployment relief in De-
troit is the worst in the full sense
Of the word. How does it work?
He who gets relief has to sign
slip that he swears that he will pay
back every penny that he owes to
the city. If the workers go after
their grocery slip they are given a
work card for three days work.
No Cash Payments
The work they have to do is clean
ing alleys and dumps and also streets.
They don't get any cash money for
it, not even street car tickets. That
means that they have to walk to
work, some many miles. This is not
the worst of it. The Department of
Public Works workers are put on a
one, two and three days basis at
starvation wages instead Of working
days week.
I know of worker in the d. P. w.
who has only two more years to serve
land then retire.. He works only
one day week and the boss hints
that he quit. But most of the DPW
workers are glad if they work three
days week
Do More Work
That the workers ON the relief
Job have to work faster than the
DP.W. workers is a fact. While the
workers Of the DP.W. have to load
three trucks Of dirt or ashes, the
relief workers have to load four
trucks, and If this is not done they
have TO work overtime without credit
whatsoever. The straw bosses and
foremen are driving the men all day
and when they raise hell the relief
worker must stand for it, or his
relief gets cut off and every unem-
pIoyed worker knows what that
means.
Workers, will you stand for this?
We expect your solidarity to our May
first demonstration for Unemploy-
ment Insurance.
