Demolished Soon.

Harold A. Candland, executive secre-
tsry of the Public Buildings Commis-
sion, announced today that bids will be
invited shortly for demolishing the old
Census Bureau structure, known official
ly as Building D, on the Mall. The
Bureau of the Census has now prac-
tically vacated that temporary struc-
ture. he said.
Building D has been approved by the
commission for razing. Two other tenn
porary structures-the old Pettus Build
ing at Nineteenth street and Virginia
avenue, which has already been torn
down, and the old Federal Trade Com
mission Building at Eighteenth street
:nd Constitution avenue, now in the
last stages of demolition-were also on
the razlng program.
Civil Service Commission files from
temporary building No. l. Mr.. Cand-
land said, are now being transferred to
the former Patent Office Building at
Ninth and F. streets. This move will
consolidate Civil Service activities in
one building, with the exception of the
examination rooms. which are being
left at temporary building No. l, but
as few examinations are being held
these days, officials are not worrying.

Of BABY HUNT

A graphic description of the
search for the Lindbergh baby was
given here last night by Fred
Davis, Ludington Line pilot, wher
he returned after an all-day search
with the air posse.
Mr.. Davis said:
Literally hundreds of small
searching parties could be seen
cOmbing the pinelands Of that
section. Scores of automobiles
loaded with men, were moving
slowly along the remote sandy
roads.
among the searchers on the
ground were many young boys,
some stalking boldly along with
air guns ready for action.
"But, even with the countless
volunteer SearcherS, only a small
portion Of the thick woods could
be covered afOOt. We, in the
planes, hoped to be able to spot
some hidden house or shack, or
perhaps the kidnapers them.

were plenty Of US. If the kiG-
napers are still in q rural section

found that the workers were not

have always had worse conditions

in Russia, and that is right down in

The workers in the Soviet Union

every worker has his say. Every
week all the workers in department
hold their meetings and discuss how
they can make conditions better, how
they can work shorter hours, etc.
There are no bosses to say Hurry
Up" When the capitalist press re-
ports on the shortage of meat in the
Soviet Union, especially beef, why
don't they let the public know the
true facts? Why? Because during
the collectivization campaign the
large land owners poisoned their
cattle and pigs, which left the land
almost bare of meat supplies. And
why is it that the capitalist press
does not tell the people the truth and
let the people know that the Soviet
Union is raising some of the best
herds Of cattle in the world.
We do know it takes time to re-
supply a land with enough cattle so
that a nation can be supplied with
plenty Of beef, and the same with
pigs and poultry.
Here in America, we the working
class are in the richest country in
the world, where there is plenty Of
everything and yet we are suffering
with starvation and misery; we are
allowing the capitalist class to run us
back to a system which will be worse
than Feudalisn ever was. We see
more police terror daily. We see at
the same time the mass struggle and
without a solid united front of all the
working class to struggle together
we will suffer more than ever before.

Helpless Patients

The Salvation Army, that organi-

a Juicy slice from the Community
Chest, has, as one of its Christian
functions, the serenading of sick
workers, patients in the County Hos
pitaI here. Recently when visited a
comrade at the County Hospital, 1
heard, through a door at one end OF
the corridor, the means of q woman
worker, dying of injuries received in
an accident. From the other end Of
the corridor, and blending with the
groans, came the mournful, sicken-
ing and depressing strains of Nearer
My God to Thee" sung by the Sal
walton Army chorus.
The patients, many of them SER

odds of undernouristment and worr
Iy 70 recover from operations and
other difficulties, fretted and pro-
tested futiely in their helplessness,
against this infliction of the capital
list class.
Patients are not admitted TO beds
in the County Hospitals unless they
suffer from serious illness. And pa
tients so suffering should not be dis
turbed by the noise created by these
religious takers, adding to the at
mosphere of depression and gloom
to which workers, under capitalism,
are subjected in institutions for the

9-Year Old Girl Dies, Hungry
and Without Medical Care

HILLSIDE, N. j., Dec. 29.-While
the delegation of the IS needy chill
dren from the industrial cities of
New Jersey were marching on the
State House to present demands for
immediate relief to the starving chill
dren, the sister of one of the child
delegates died indirectly from starva-
ton.
The girl, Lillian Sonneberg, aged
9, was sent home from school a few
months ago with an infection in the
leg. This infection, due to her weak
condition from the lack of proper
food, milk and care, soon developed
into cancer. The hospital demanded
that her leg be cut off, but the fam
lily was unwilling to do this and the
hospital refused to take care of the
child and threw her out.
The father of the child was out
Of work for two years and now is
forced to work for the city of Hill
side for basket Of food for the
family. After a great deal of pressure
give the family coal or even wood to
keep the house warm. The windows
were stuffed with rags to keep out
the wind
AS soon as the Young Pioneers of
Hillside and the Unemployed Coun-
Gil found out about this family, a
committee was sent to the city to
demand medical attention for the
child and food, coal, ETC., for the
family. After a great deal Of forcing
the city finally sent down a nurse
to look at the child. This nurse
came without materials, looked at
the child, went away and never came
back.
The mother of the child was forced
to go into the streets to beg for pen
MES so as to buy some bandages for
her daughter The police continu-
ally threatened her with arrest if she
would not stop, and, due to this, she
was forced to stop.
On Dec. % the child died.

Victor Hugo in his graphic oescrip-
ton of scenes preceding the French
Revolution has nothing whatever on
the actual conditions now surround
ing the working class in America. On
the 18th Of November, as a delegate
with another starving worker we
hung freight train for Washington
in the National Hunger March. We
had fairly good going through New
Mexico and west Texas, Our number
being continually added to from
Procos City on until at Dallas there
were between three and four hun
bred of us, including women and
small children.
Outside of the railroad bulls we
had no trouble with the train crews,
they even several times switched on
new empties to carry the poor starved
bunch of humanity. We were con-
tinually harassed by the cops in the
larger cities trying to turn us back
and even shooting at us. One boy Of
perhaps Is was in this way thrown
under a freight and killed, another
shot in the arm.
At Fort Worth we were arrested
and sentenced to the rock pile and
allowed to sleep in lousy Jail with
hundreds of other homeless and job
less. Many of these pood wretches
were travelling they knew not where
and had with them all that they
possessed in this world and others
would beg with the police at night

snatched away from their parents
and herded off to reform schools and
their fathers driven from town.
Sent to Rock Pile
Upon being brought before the
noble judge was asked where I was
going and upon being informed we
we're going to Washington he
promptly told us we had reached our
destination and sent us to the rock
pile for ten days. The second day,
upon promising to leave town, we
we're turned loose and headed for
Kansas City. We were getting used
to missing meals and being set out
at blind sidings and driven from one
town TO another We mingled with
all kinds Of human misery and While
we thought We had it hard in New
Mexico, we found the eastern country
much nearer actual starving condi-
tions with hundreds of homeless peo-
pie milling about on all the trains.
At Kansas City 1 saw another boy
trying to catch the same train out to
