President Hover has been q stay
at-home" occupant of the White
House, as compared with those Presi-
dents of recent times.
His known inclination for travel, as
demonstrated before he became Chief
Executive, has not been much in evi-
dence during almost three years of
his administration. He has been away
from Washington only IA times since
taking Office, travelling total Of 1850

were for non-speaking purposes.
The Presidents fondness for radio
as a means of appealing to the people
partly explains why his public appear
ances outside Washington have been
SO few. Then. too, the cares Of the
Presidency have been so exacting dur
ing his administration that he almost
has been compelled to stick to his desk.
Taft Took Many Trips.
President Taft found time to run up
. mileage record Of 1l4.559 during his
Pacific Coast trips, each of which
amounted almost to as much in mile
age as that Travelled by President
Hoover in three years.
President Wilson travelled a total OF
S7,400 miles during his eight years in
Office. including his trip to Europe for
the Peace Conference.
President Harding in three years
covered a total of 32,228 miles and
would have gone much farther had not
his death cut short his trip to the Pa
cific Coast and Alaska in 1928.
President Coolidge with his penchant
for going places and seeing things"
Travelled total of 32,798 miles while he
was in the White House. Actually Cool
tdge's mileage is larger than this. He
was fond of taking long cruises on the
former presidential yacht Mayf1ower, Of
which there is no available mileage
record.
May FOrego Vacation.
In all probability President Hoover's
travelling will not materially increase in
the remaining year of his administra-
ton. At present there is little IikeH-
hood of much travelling this Summer.
Machinery set in motion to relieve the
economic ills of the country require his
presence in Washington more than ever.
He may even have to forego vaca-
ton this coming Summer as he did
last. The possibilities of setting up
Summer White House this year such as
Coolidge's famed rendezvous in the
Black Hills of South DAKOTA is remote.
The President is not to attend the
Republican convention in Chicago this
year. If nominated his campaign may
of necessity be curtailed Pressing ma
tional and international affairs in all
probability will demand that his speak
ing engagements be limited to those
points which are highly strategic.
1t Is entirely possible that the greater
part of his campaign will be conducted
from his study in the White House IT.

AS matter of fact, nine out of

County Board of Supervisors are
socialists or vote with them on

of their ever attempting to increase
the amount of relief. What is even
more to the point, it is the socialist
supervisors themselves who brought
into Milwaukee county its present

Frank K. Metcalfe, socialist cam

lief is compelled at any time he is
called to dig bitches and go on the

forced labor with no prtense of
being anything else. Now, after the
struggle of the Unemployed Coun-
cils to do away with forced labor,
each worker is credited with earn
ing $4 day. But the catch is that
he only receives 81. The rest is
credited to his past and future re-
lief, and is forced to work for ST
day whenever the country wants
him.
If any workers refuse to do fore
ed labor, he is cut off from relief;
then he is arrested for having no

Four thousand workers fought
off a police attack for more than
. an hour at the Lincoln Ave. and
South 10th st. relief station. Many
were hurt two seriously injured,
Walter Ulatowski, unemployed
worker, and Sergeant Westphal be-
ing taken to the hospital. Two po-
hcemen were pushed through a
plate glass window. Thirteen work
ers we're thrown into Jail by So
Cialist Mayor Hoan'sl police.
The four thousand workers came
to demonstrate at the call of the
South Side Unemployed Council,
against the cutting off of many
families from relief. Under the lat
est scheme of slashing relief costs
downward, the County Board of Su-
pervisors have hired horde of in
vestigators at $3.50 a month, head
ed by new superintendent of re-
lief, Benjamin Glassberg, at $4,000
year. These additional salaries
have more than been made up for
by cutting off the relief lists on
any pretext thousands of starving
families. Investigators force their
way into workers homes, ranSack
the furniture and search the hous-
es, and if they find anything which
is salable, cut the workers off from
relief until they have parted with
the very last of their belongings.
Even if the workers have simply
Scrimped and saved part of their
relief foodsuffs, they get no relief
until they starve sufficiently to
convince the Investigators that they
will die.
DEMONSTRATION
WAS PROTEST
1t was in protest against this pol
icy that the demonstration was
called. While the four thousand
workers waited outside, commit
tee tried to take three of the starv-
ing families into the relief station.
Mayor Hoan's police drove them
from the door. At the sight of the
committee and the starving work
ers being denied entrance, the
crowd surged forward. The cops at
tackled with swinging clubs. Work
ers and cops went down in hand
to hand fighting. There was no dis
elimination by the Socialist po-
lice. Workers, young or old, men
or women, whoever was in the
path of the clubs, got them on
heads and shoulders. Walter Ula-
towski had to have three stitches
in his scalp Another, Kravchik,
was beaten over the head until he
became unconscious; he had been
member of Mayor Hoan's So
cialist Party; this was his first
lesson in the class struggle, at the
hands of Mayor Hoan's police.

TO AMERICAN INTELLECTUALs.


BY Maxim Cork. International
Pamphlet No. %. Price 1Oc.
Reviewed by MILTON HOWARD
THERE is evidence on every side
to show that the American in
tellectuals and scientists have been
hard hit by the crisis. Thousands
of engineers, chemists, writers,
teachers and professional men are
feeling the terrible curse of capit-
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and starva-
ton. AS a result there is taking
place a great ferment among them.
They are looking for way out.
1t is important to remember that
the intellectuals do not constitute
social class having definite
place in the scheme of production.
Rather they form secondary
group serving a particular class.
HISTORY has shown that as a
IL group the intellectuals served
the class which is economically
and politically dominant. But does
this mean that the workers must
consider all intellectuals as their
eternal enemies2 Absolutely not.
1t is possible for the revolutionary
working class to recruit large Sec
tions of the intellectuals to their
side. The reason is that large
numbers of intellectuals are find
ing capitalism just as hateful as
the workers find it. Only they do
not know where the trouble lies.
1t is up to us to show them their
place is side by side with the pro-
letariat and poor farmers in the
fight for Soviet America.
To American IntelIectuaIs is
letter written by Maxim Cork, the
great Soviet writer, in reply to
questions asked him by two Am
erican intellectuals. Cork begins
by showing how most prominent
bourgeois intellectuals are bank
rupt and filled with hatred or des-
pair. He shows how the bourgeois
intellectuals, reflecting the econo-
mic helplessness of the ruling class,
are turning more and more against
science and art, because they can
find no use for them. Then he
describes how the capitalist class
itself is beginning to despise the
intellectuals because 1t can no
longer find any use for them.
Cork says. "The basic p-ob-
