The bourgeoisie have at last dis
covered what any worker could have
told them IS years ago-that the in
fluenza epidemic of 1918 bore more
heavily on the poor" and every poor"
than on the "well-to-do" and mod
erately comfortable" However, the
study recently isued by the United
States Public Health Service should
be of interest to all workers as giving
definite proof which even the bourge-
oisie are forced to recognize.
The report not only shows conclu-
siyely that there were more cases of
Influenza among the poorer workers
in proportion to their number than
among the ''well-to-do." It also
proves that more of the workers who
caught the disease died than did the
bourgeoisie. This was especially true
of young children under 5 years of
age and of old people over IS.
High Child Mortality Among Workers
The causes. for the higher death
rates among the poor" are sunnlar-
lied as follows:
THE effects upon resistance to
the disease which continued IN
favorable environment may have;
the increase in the chance for in
lection brought about by the condi-
tons under which members of the
poorer households work and live;
the differences in the medical and

AS the leading boss agency in the
unemployment racket, the role of the
Red Cross is to cover up as much as
possible the terrible suffering and
misery of the starving millions of ur-
ban workers and of the share CROP
pers, tenant farmers and poor farmers
while handing out the absolute mini
mum of "relief" in those sections
where the danger of bloodshed"
forces the panic-stricken local bosses
to appeal to the Red Gross to come
in with its skinny handouts and
slave driving methods of exploiting
the starving workers.
This role has been sharply exposed
in the cynical opposition of the Red
Cross charity takers to having Con-
gress appropriate $25,000,000 for ere
lief of starving populations in the
South. This opposition, in face of adj
missions by bankers, capitalist news
papers and others that entire sections
of starving populations are at present
denied even the meager hunger
existence rations of the Red Cross, is
in line with the long record of the
Red Cross as one of the most vicious
boss instruments against the working
class.
Starve Negro, White Share Choppers
In the state of Arkansas, thousands
of Negro and white share choppers,
tenant farmers and poor farmers are
starving while the Red Cross plays
Hoover politics in opposing any APP
preparation by Congress for these, and
other starving workers. In the mean
time, the boss press is forced to adj
nit that with or without the seed
loan, they starve unless the Red Cross
or some other agency feeds them"
The same boss press also has to admit
hat even the comparatively few fam
lies rccaiving Red Cross pittances
are still starving;

Two weeks ago Secretary OF Labor
Doak announced the decision of the
Morgans, Melons and Rockefellers to
start the roundup of the criminal
aliens" For two weeks the roundup
of the criminal aliens" is going on.
The results are:
A raid on the Hoboken waterfront,
27S unemployed seamen questionedin
true FISH WhaIen fashion, 58 held for
deportation.
A raid aboard the Salvation Army
steamship Broadway" Pier Is,
Stapleton, S. L; 18 of 400 unem-
ployed seamen, lured there by the re-
lief promises of the Salvation Army,
were held for deportation.
Raid Seamen's Church Institute.
A raid in the Seamen's Church IN
stitute in New York, where 5000 I'M
employed workers were surrounded by
federal immigration officials, police
men and by a Church Institute gang
doing the dirty work for the capital
ist government, and 102 held for de-
portation.
The Ellis Island immigration Off
Gals explain that these raids are
made in conformity with the instruc-
ton of Doak for a general, nation
wide roundup.
So we see, that the roundup of
criminal elements" which will be
continued vigorously all through the
country, is a roundup of unemployed,
foreign-born workers.
The workers, who built up the great
wealth of the bosses of this country
and are thrown into unemployment
and starvation by the same bosses
and their government, are criminal
aliens" Captain Cabo (says the N.
Y Tines is making daily tours along
the harbor front and any man seen
Ioafing about who appears to be a
foreigner is stopped and questioned
as to how he came into this country.
Garry Out Fish's Proposals.
Even before the proposal of the
Fish Committee for registration and
mass deportation of foreign-born
workers is passed by the U. S. Con-
gress representing the bosses, the
proposals are being actually carried
into life. The native and foreign
born workers alike are forced to iden-
tify themselves. Mass deportation of
the foreign-born workers follows,
especially those who are thrown, into
unemployment by the bosses and
those who lead the struggle for get
