NEW YORK.-Hundred of unem-

the call of the Borough Hall Unem-
ployed Council and after hearing
speakers describe cases of extreme
distress the council had found
elected a committee of ten and rati-
fled demands for immediate relief
and sent them to Borough President
Hesterberg.
Hesterberg not only lodged the
committee, but likewise his secretary,
the commissioner and the commits
sioner'S secretary refused to see them.
Some of these officials gave excuses
that they were not in, but the COM
mittee, led by Anna Rollins, secre-
tary of the council, kept after them,
until they located the borough presi-
dents secretary in his office, guard
ed by plenty of strong-arnl men. The
borough officials held conference
and finally sent out word that they
simply would not see the committee
of the jobless.

The committee had been followed
by great throng of jobless, who fol-
lowed it back again to Jay and John
son, where, with police of every vari-
ETY. massing around and in spite of
several attempts by the cops to dis
suade them from holding meeting,
they met and heard the committee
report that the borough government
did not even want to hear of work
ers starving in Brooklyn, to say moth
ing of doing anything for them
The meeting enthusiastically de-
cided to hold other meetings after
the May Day demonstrations and
lay plans for such a big demonstra-
ton that all Hesterbergs police can
not stop them.
The delegation had on it three coll
ored workers, three women and
young as we'll as adult jobless work.

A large part of the crowd followed
the speakers to an indoor meeting at
70 3Myrtle Ave, headquarters of the
council; the hall was jammed to
overlooking and many joined the
council. A food committee was
elected, which Immediately went out
and collected some provisions for the
list of starving families Hesterberg
wouldn't even look at.
At the indoor meeting Negro
worker told of being injured on the
Ward Line Cuba Mall. He sued
for $4,000. His own lawyer. a white
chauvinist it turned out, told the
judge in court: Hes only a colored
worker, and $1,000 will be enough"
When the $1,000 was paid, the law
yer took it as his fee.

cUSTARD DESSERTS
WILL BAKE BETTER
IN SMALL DISHES
Coffee is Also Better When
Roasted in Small Lots -
Hills Bros Method

The smaller the dish, the more
evenly and quickly the oven heat
can penetrate to the center of the
custard. Such results cannot be
counted upon when large baking
dishes are used.
Applying this principle to roast
ing their fine blend of coffee, Hills
Bros. found the way to develop uni
form flavor in every ounce. A con-
stant stream of green coffee is
introduced into the roaster in auto
matically measured lots of about
three pounds, and passes through
in steady flow, roasting a little
at a time. There is accurate con-
troll of both the flow of coffee and
The temperature.
This process, patented by Hills
Bros.-Controlled Roasting-de-
velops delicious uniform flavor no
other coffee has. The ordinary
method-roasting in bulk--is vir-
tually lacking in control.
Grocers everywhere sell Hills
Bros. Coffee in the vacuum can that
keeps it ever-fresh. Air, which
destroys the flavor of coffee, is re-
moved from this can and kept out.
Coffee packed in ordinary cans,
even if air-tight, does not stay
fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee
by name and look for the Arab
