surely would have found more at

know a young fellow, he is about
20 years old, who took things so
hard that he went crazy, on &C
count of not being able to acquire
the necessities of life.
This fellow was struggling all
alone to provide himself and his
parents and five brothers and sis
tiers with needs. No matter how hard
he tried he could not, then he be-
gan to take it hard.
He was laid off, and he began to
think about the things he didn't
have; everything began to be more
unjust for him. He would think Of
his clothing, spending money and so
forth continually. About six months
ago this young fellow had a brain
snap, and though he gained his right
mind for a few weeks he again had
a relapse. I can say this, to be in
his position wouldn't be so pleasant,
would it? I am joining the Unem-

10 Million Dead for

NEW YORK.-The return Of
Armistice Day. celebrating the VIC
tory of the Allied and American i'm
perialists in the slaughter of 1914
1918, is again the occasion of wide
spread war propaganda.
In all the schools the children are
being reminded of how the youth of
1917 died for their country, and eff
forts are being made to impress the
children to be ready to do this when
needed. In the movies pictures of
the millions of graves in France are
glorified as the worthwhile price Of
democracy
This year the bosses are having a
harder time than ever to spread their
propaganda. The effects of three
years of crisis and the murderous
treatment of those who fought and
lived through the World War left a
marked impression on the working
class. This impression is stamped
deeper by the 18th Anniversary of
the successful Russian Revolution
which laid the basis Of a classics,
warless society in the Soviet Union.
In New York the ex-servicemen
are turning the jingoistic day into
one of struggle by marching to the
City Hall for immediate relief and
support of the demand for the bonus.
Workers throughout the country must
recollect the 100000 killed and
100000 wounded. and intensity

Woman Worker In Ind.

RICHMOND, Ind. - Henry Hen
Shell, the former owner Of one Of
the worst saloons in Richmond be-
fore the advent of prohibition, and
the owner of many shacks-purchas-
ed from the earnings of hundreds OF
workers, accepted as tenants from
the Social Service the Creech fam
lily. He placed them in house whose
only water supply was a contami-
mated we'll in the backyard.
Three weeks after they moved into
this death trap, Mrs. Creech and two
of the children we're in the hospital
with typhoid fever. kThe mothers
condition was made worse by the
birth of baby, and one week later
she died.
Examination of the records shows
that the well on this property had
three times been condemned by the
City Health Department, and it was
only Hen Shells pull with the gang
of robbers in the City Hall which
kept him from being forced to fill up
this death trap and furnish his ten
ants safe water supply. He was per-
fectly aware of the danger, and the
Social Service could easily have dis
covered that they were sending this
woman to possible death if they had
cared enough to investigate.
A lawyer has been found who VIII
help Mr.. Creech sue Hen Shell for
damages, and in addition the I'm
employed Council is using this case
to build a struggle to secure safe
water for all the workers in Rich
mond
While these are the facts in the
only case which has come before the
Unemployed Council concerning Hen
Shells house, we have learned the
following facts about the same house.
Last year the water from this same
well was used by the family OF Sam
Shaeffer. During the period that
they were using this water, his
daughter died of typhoid fever.
