coffee and sinking soup that they
were formerly given, the breadlines
are now being cut off.
Those cities doing away with
breadlines reported that they were
abandoned because community
thinking turned toward more inoivid-
ualized forms of relief" This means
that the few workers who get relief
will be blacklisted, browbeaten and
terrorized by bunch of charity vul-
lures and cops.
The closing Of the breadlines and
the failure of the entire charity
structure of capitalism shows the
worsening conditions of the unem-
ployed and the necessity for pushing
the fight for unemployment insur-
ance. With no place at all to go for
a bite of food, the millions of unem-
ployed are closer to death by starva-
ton. Mobilize for the huge hunger
marches on Feb. 10 to force the
bosses to pay the utlemploysd une,u-
ploymoiit insurance.

Worker Jailed for
Having Copies of the
Daily Worker on IRT

NEW YORK. Bert Wellman, a
member of the Daily Worker Red
Builders Club, was sitting on an I.
r. T. subway train Wednesday night
with copies of the Daily Worker on
his lap. He was not selling the pap
ers, but two detectives came up to
him and arrested him. They jerked
him off the train. Wellman was
brought to the 57th st. magistrates
court for "disorderly conduct" and
selling the Daily Worker on the sub
way. He was not allowed to call up
the International Labor Defense un-
til after the trial was over.
The case was put over until Tues
day. Wellman is out on bail put up
by the International Labor Defense.

Government Attack on
All Workers

NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Carrying
out their threat to attack the for
eign-b born, federal immigration au-
thorities raided the Hoboken water
front and arrested 300 foreign-born
workers. While no specific charge
was placed against them the immi-

first of such a series of raids to de-
port undesirable" foreign-born
workers.
That the attack is mainly directed
against active Communists was in

Red Cross "Meals"
At SC Is "Relief"

MARKED TREE, Ark, Jan. IS.
The Red Cross, out of the gen.
erosity Of its heart, is allowing the
starving farmers of this section
exactly three and a third cents
per meal for relief, or at the
rate of ten cents a day. The max
imum allowance for. any family,
no matter how big. is $3.50 week.
The average family getting re-
lief, if such miserable sums can
be so called, is five persons.
Some families Of is persons
must get along on the $3.50, and
are really starving. The food
bought must be only that per-
mitted by the Red Cross and con-
sists OF salt pork, cornmesl and
beans, being without balance for
heaitia and really creating disease,

BE|P|G OUTPUT GUT
Ed 41-2 PER CENT

NEW YORK, June 3 G.N.S)
The Iron Age market summary to
be released tomorrow points out
that seasonal influences and a
fresh wave Of pessimism engen,
dered by the performance Of the
securities markets are having
their effect on iron and steel de-
mand.
The fact that production is still
declining is not surprising, but
the impressive feature Of the cur
rent situation is that the recession
in output is so gradual.
Pig iron production in May
showed a decline Of AZ per cent.
foreshadowed by the downturn OF
steel ingot production in April
and the continued recession Of
steel works operations during the
past month.
Current ingot output is esti-
mated at AZ per cent versus A
per cent a week ago. Pittsburgh,
Chicago, Cleveland, and Buffalo
operations have given further
ground, while there has been a
moderate recovery in the valleys.
In some instances lower produc-
tions is accounted for by tardy re-
sumptions following holiday sus-
pensions.
A prime cause Of the present
decline in steel production Is the
slackening of activity in the
motor car industry. Automotive
demand for steel this month is
expected to show further curtail-
ment, since retail sales Of cars
have been adversely affected by

WATCH OUT FOR
THESE EXHIBITS
TimepieCeS, Smallest and
Largest, to Be Shown.

The largest watch in the world,
and the smallest, will be shown here
for week, beginning tonight, it
was announced today by Charles
Mayer 81 Co., jewelers., at 20 West
Washington street.
The two watches are outstanding
achievements of the watchmakers'
craft. Both we're created by the
Omega Watch Company, Bienna,
Switzerland.
The largest watch is 43 inches
high, from its metal base, and, COM
plete, weighs 500 pounds. 1t was
created at cost of $4,000, and has
been exhibited in the great capitals
of the world.
The spring is twenty feet long,
with driving power of 80 pounds.
The escape wheel weighs 6 ounces,
while in an ordinary watch, the
same wheel weighs one-tenth of a
grain. The movement alone, Of
this watch weighs 165 pounds.
The case weighs 80 pounds. In
corporated in the movement are
seventeen blue agate jewels.
In contrast to the giant watch, a
miniature Omega watch also will be
shown. Although this watch weighs
only one-quarter of an ounce, it
contains ITS separate parts and was
made with 1850 distinct operations.
This pigmy watch keeps accurate
time. It's movement, alone, is esti-
mated to be worth $500, while a
suitable case would cost another
$500 at least.
