HOME RELIEF IS
FORCED TO OPEN
Rally July 2 to Fight
for It to Give Relief

NEW YORK. - The Home Relief
Bureaus this week reopened their
doors for registration of the unem-
ployed No public announcement was
made for fear that the offices would
be stormed by the starving thousands
who had been denied any relief by
these agents of the richest American
city.
The Home Relief Bros also have
invented scheme to make granting
of relief as difficult as possible, and
to prepare gigantic blacklist. Every
new applicant is forced to pay Is
cents for a notary public fee, and to
swear to four page document the
applicant has to fill out. He has to
list all members of his family, state
whether they are working and whe-
ther they are able to work, how long
he has lived in each place, etc, etc.
Is Out of 100
In one Home Relief Bureau, Bronx,
out of 100 who applied since the Of
fees reopened, only 18 were accepted
and they do not get anything yet,
they are being investigated" The
budgets of the various Home Relief
Bureau offices have not been increas-
ed, and whatever relief is actually
given new applicants, will result in
cutting down the relief of those al
ready on the list.
Already, those getting formerly $40
week have been cut to SO, theo-
retically to provide for new apple
ants. though none of the new ones
have got anything so far.
First Round Won
Nevertheless, even this reopening is
something of a victory, and was due

STATIONS led by the Unemployed
Councils 1t is necessary now to fight
harder to make this victory mean
something, to make the Home Relief
Bureau actually give relief, and not
by cutting down on the quantities
given the older registrants, etc.
The Unemployed Council Of Great
er New York is calling upon workers
thruout New York and Brooklyn to
celebrate on Saturday, July 2, the
forced reopening Of the Home Relief
Buros and demonstrate the determi-
nation to struggle for more adequ-

by ths hSSOCldtco FlCoS.
ALBANY, N. Y. March "a bill
creating a State Banking Board was
signed by Gov. Roosevelt yesterday with
the statement that If the board be
comes a hindrance to the proper super
vision Of banks" it should be promptly
abolished.
The main opposition to the bill, re-
manning after it had been amended to
suit original objections, was that the
presence Of indirect representatives of
the banking business on the board
would mean that bankers would regu-
late themselves and not be regulated by
public opinion.
The board VIII consist of nine mem
bers, including the State superintendent
of banks. Nominations of members will
be made by the Governor to the Sen
ate, with four of the nine members to
directly represent the public and four to
have banking experience, but not di-
rectly represent banks or banking
groups.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he approved the
bill 'in the belief that its possible merits
outweigh its possible danger.

Can depression be relieved or
prosperity restored by continued

The cure for the complaint. as l
see it. is to give the people more
buying power, with the resulting
increase in the circulation OF money.
