tempt to hide the real issues facing
the jobless workers here and that it
was to cover up a wllitswash of the
wholesale stealing Of funds ostensibly
collected for the unemployed workers,
Capitalist politicians who ere in
volyed in graft scandals always mi
tiate such red scares' in order 10 dis
tract the attention Of the pubic from
the graft and corruption i'll which
they are involved" the statement de-
clares. 1T is therefore no wonder
that such a red scare is now being
raised in Philadelphia. In spite of
the attempts of the City Council and
its special sub committee, under the
Craftsmanship of Councilman Roper,
to whitewaSh the Mayor and his
Committee for the Relief of the Poor
and Unemployed the working people
know and will remember for a long
time that the city authorities and
leading politicians are guilty Of graft
and racketeering. No amount OF
plots will make the people of this
city forget that Mayor Mackey and
other leading city officials were part
ners to a racket that grated for
themselves 66 cents out Of every dol
lar reported collected for unemploy-
ment relief
At the public hearing "inyestigat-
ing the racketeering activities OF the
Mayors Unemployment Committee,
the City Council adjourned its ses-
sion and refused to listen to the facts
On the conditions in the Shelter OF
Homeless Unemployed that were
brought out by M Powers, the secre-
tary of the Trade Union Unity
League. The red "boogy'', however,
cannot cover up the following facts.
u That the employers of this city
are recruiting skilled workers for S5c
an hour to take the place of union
men working at union rate of wages.
p That many time men from
this shelter are forced to work with
out being paid for.
- Men Of this shelter are taken 10
miles outside OF the city 10 work at
various city jobs and are forced to
walk back to the shelter.
a That the sanitary conditions in
the shelter is endangering the health
of the men, there are only two toilets
for 500 men while each petty official
has a washroom for himself, that the
men get only mattresses without any
bed sheets; that all bed clothing is
not being washed but fumigated
which creates an odor that makes II
impossible for the men to sleep ana
develops a serious cough.
s. That old clothing collected from
the unemployed is mostly being sold
to peddlers and junk dealers.
81 That the food in the shelter is
rotten.
y And, finally any protest on the
part of the men housed in the shelter
results in immediate arrest and i'm
prisonment. There are many cares
of men disappearing and no one
knowing of their whereabouts.
The Communist Party has called
mass meeting for Thursday, June II,
ct noon at City Hall Plaza to expose
the red plot" fabricated by the city
officials to demand the release of the
81 arrested workers and to demand
that the three million dollar loan be
administered by the unemployed.

OF Anna creek, two and a half miles
south OF government camp. The east
side OF the gorge has been subject 10

great tree, growing on the west side
OF the canyon, has never suffered from
the effects of such action. The great

WASHINGTON'S LOST
THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Few Americans, we are told by the
United States George Washington BIZ
centennial Commission, know that the
first National Thanksgiving Proclama-
ton was issued by our First President
George Washington, in 1888; and still
fewer people know of the interesting
history of that priceless document. On
October 3, 1889, George Washington
issued his Presidential Proclamation
calling for National day of Thanks
giving on Thursday, November rs.
This proclamation went into effect
and was soon forgotten No one appar-
emily attached much Importance to the
document itself 1t was completely lost
sight Of Most likely it was misplaced
or attached to some private papers in
the process of moving official records
from New York to Philadelphia, or
from Philadelphia to Washington. All
we know is that the original document
was not in the official archives OF the
Government until it was found in
1921 by DR.. ]. G. Fitzpatrick, then As
sistant Chief of the Manuscripts Divi-
sion Of the Library Of Congress, and
now editor of the forthcoming George
Washington Bicentennial Commission
series of Washingtons Writings.
1t was at an auction sale being held
in the American Art Galleries of New
York City. DR.. Fitzpatrick, an expert
on Westinghouse, examined the docu-
ment and found il to be authentic. 1t
was written in long hand by VIM.
Jackson, Secretary to President Wash
ington at the time, and was signed in
George Washingtons bold hand. DR.
Fitzpatrick purchased the document for
$4,000 for the Library Of Congress,
where it is now kept as a treasure.
And no amount Of money could remove
