Poor Relief to Cost Tozvnsl1ib Million and Half

NENTER township will expend
~ nearly a million and half dol
lars for poor relief this year, Charles
Hoffman, township advisory board
member, estimated today.
Cost of providing coal and food
for unemployed families has doubled
within the last year, he declared.
This huge outlay, Hoffman esti-
mates, will be necessary to pay bills
already incurred this year and cover
expected expenditures for fall and
early winter months.
Up to July /, the township had
appropriated more for relief than
the entire last year.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-08-02

Hoffman estimates the 1892 poor
aid bill at $1,322,187.
Expenditures by Miss Hannah
Noone, trustee, during 1881 totaled
S702,204. With an estimated ex-
penditure of s85,O00 for July, on
which definite figures are not avail
able, cost from Jan. /, 1892, to Aug.
l, will total $81S,187.
Miss Noone informed County Au-
ditor Charles Grossart that she will
need $504,000 poor relief budget
from Aug. to Dec. 81.
On basis of these figures, the
county council must fix the town
ship tax rate for poor relief. This
rate, 12.5 cents last year, may rise

FIGHT BRENNAN
CLIQUE AT MEET
UNIV. Machine Tries
to Bar Opposition

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Oct. 49,
Sharp opposition developed at the
second days session here Of the con-
vention in District 9, United Mine
Workers, to the attempts of the COR
rupt Brennan machine to disqualify
the delegates of the rank and file
opposition. Brennan is ruling the
convention with an iron hand, but as
this is being written, the convention is
an uproar over his steam-roller tao
tics. Though lacking Central organi-
cation, the rank and file opposition
is contesting every inch of the
ground.
The credentials committee ap-
pointed by Brennan has ruled out
many opposition delegates on the
ground that their locals are delin-
quent in their payments to the dis
trict. This is an old device of the
the same time all delinquent del
egates who support the machine were

for a motion to extend more time to
the locals to enable them to make the
necessary payments, but Brennan as
chairman rules every motion of the
opposition out of order.
The opposition is preparing num-
Der of resolutions including one de-
handing the release of Tom Mooney,
now spending his 18th year in San
Quentin jail on a framed-up muir

struggle for unemployment insurance

CT the New York District of the Com

against white chauvinism on Sunday,

fight carried on by the Communist
Party against the boss poison of race
hatred. The trial will be held at the

r. Kramer, an old member OF the
Communist Party, is charged with
an opportunist resistance to the Com
munist program for a united fight of
white and Negro workers against the
oppression of the Negro masses and
for unconditional equal rights for
Negroes. When the Party called for
a struggle against the jim-crow prac-
tices of the BronXdale Swimming
Pool, near Bronx Park East Kramer
not only failed to participate in the

stated that the Party should not make
an issue of the jim of Negro
workers, should not organize united

Convention Issues Special Manifesto Call to
United Struggle for Better Conditions
National Fur Conference Soon; Will Organize
South River Appeal to Negroes

NEW YORK.-Fhe final day of the
needle trades convention whicI closed
Tuesday night at Irving Plaza was
crowded with work. The first point
on the order of business was the
report Of the Organization Commit
tee which dealt with the inner life,
and the campaigns to be undertaken
by the Industrial Union.
This outstanding thing was the de-
cisicn to make the dress trade the
main and immediate point of con-
centration.
The convention unanimously de-
cided to begin immediate prepara-
lions for shop strikes and struggles in
the dress industry in New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, and to
set up local organization in New
Jersey with its base in South River.
The convention further decided to
spread the united front movement
among the dreSsmakers, to begin i'm
mediate mobilization of the unem-
ployed, to strengthen the opposition
group in the A. F. of L. union and
win the workers for united struggle
for union conditions.
The second point of concentration
as far as the open shop industry is
concerned is in knitgoods where the
Indutrial Union is now carrying on
an effective organization campaign.
The convention decided to spread the
activities by building of shop com
mitteeS and development of shop
struggles in the knitgoods trade of
New York, Philadelphia and New Jer-
sey. In line with this decision, one
of the main activities is to be the
mobilization of the Negro workers,
especially in such centers as Phila-
delphia.
National Fur Conference
1t was also decided to continue the
drive in the sheepskin and raincoat
trade in Boston, where strikes were
won recently and to prepare a ma
tional conference in the fur trade, and
to concentrate and prepare struggles
for the complete unionization of all
shops connected with the fur trim.
