Z street to Eleventh street, back z
street to Fourteenth street and south
on Fourteenth street to the Highway
Bridge.
In denying another request for a SIM
liar rerouting some time ago. the COM
mission held the program would be in
advisable and probably would lead to
chaos, because of the even greater now
Of trafnc expected in the vicinity of
Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue with the completion of the pro-
posed Government buildings In the tri-
angls.
Nevertheless, the Virginia residents
announced they would vigorously pro-
test abandonment of the line. They
were represented today as insisting some
plan be worked out under which service
might be continued.
Meanwhile, r. L. May, owner Of the
line, was said to be negotiating with
officials of the District government and
the washington Railway a. Electric Co.
TO obtain compensation for that portion

sarily must be removed to make way
for the Federal building program.

BY this statement Alcock clearly

LOAN TO DETROIT
MEANS SLASH IN
JOBLESS RELIEF
Murphy Gives Prom
ises to Bankers

NEW YORK.-Mayor Murphy of
Detroit is taking another step to-
wards consolidating his position with
the big bankers of Wall Street, as
well as the motor companies, espe-
cially Ford. The Wall Street bank
ers announced today that loan Of
35,50O,000 would be made to the
city of Detroit on the same terms
that a previous loan was made sew
eral months ago.
The first loan of $5,0eO,0OO from
Ford and 100000 from Wall Street
was followed with shutting down
of municipal lodging houses and cut
ting down Of relief for the unem-
ployed. The bankers demanded this
be done and Murphy gladly complied
The same conditions go with the
present loan. The neager unem-
ployment relief will be cut further
as more workers are thrown out of
work. Over $4,000 Ford workers are
now jobless and may be all winter.
In the fact of this situation, Muir
ply makes deals with the bankers
for loans to pay his police force and
other grafters, but the unemployed
will be told to starve or sleep on
the streets.

Starvation, Misery

LoNACONING, Ind, July 3o.-The
working conditions in the Georges
Greek region are the worst that I
have ever seen or heard of. The
miners have to run all over the mine
to find ties, posts, and spikes. Worst
of all is the air, or the absence of
decent air in the mine.
In order to get little bit Of de-
cent air the miners have to go home
or out Of the mine and then come
back quick
Wage Cuts and Starvation
Not long ago the miners wages
were cut from 81 a day to $3.50. They
now receive &c ton for coal from
a two-foot vein. The miners work
only one or two days a week and
there is misery and starvation thru
oct the district.
The miners don't belong to any
union. Since the 1922 strike they
have been completely disguised with

Spring Valley, III.

Daily Worker:
The jobs on the pipe line, that
temporarily absorbed some Of the un-
employed of Spring Valley are now at
an end. On this job dozens of
workers we're badly hurt and many
fatally because of the terrific speed
up under which the men worked. The
contractors we're trying to get thru
in a hurry. 1t meant more profits
to them. 1t made no difference about
the workers. 1t never does to the
bosses as the workers here are realiz-
ing.
Now there are no jobs whatsoever
for the unemployed workers of Spring
Valley and no prospects of getting
any, the crisis isn't lifting and hard
times face the workers, yes even
starvation, unless they organize into
the Unemployed Council.
What is the Unemployed Councilp
1t is weapon of the united strength
of the workers to fight for immed-
lte relief and unemployment insur-
