slow death from starvation The re-
lief commission announced that by
July list all Lighthouses will be closed
and about $4,000 men and women
who are in the Lighthouses. will be
thrown out on the streets, together
with over 100000 families.
In Chicago alone there are 10000
unemployed workers who have only
partly received relief, up till now.
Under the pressure of the uaen-
ployed, led by the Unemployed Coun-
ellis of Chicago, the State Legislature
appropriated $4,000, 900 for unean-
ployment relief on April 9Th. The
state government issued notes for
$1S,750,00o payable from taxes. Tho
relief commission sold notes to the
amount of $12,5oO,OoO of which
$12,0o0,o00 have been spent. The
banks refuse to buy any more notes,
although there is on hand $6,25o,ooc
worth of bonds.
And the Illinois State legislature
refuses TO appropriate an additional
o,00O, 900 dollars to carry through
the relief.
Pocket Money" for Rich.
While this is taking place, Judge
oscar Captain fixed the amount od
s135, 900 a year as pocket money
for Mrs. Florence Crane, widow OF
the millionaire Richard T. Crane,
Jr, late head of the Crane Co. Mrs
Crane demanded $250ooo "pockeS
money" Judge Caplan thought that
that amount was too much and since
everybody has to economic" that
Mrs. Crane, too, has to economics"
and live on s135,oOO year.
While thousands and thousands of
Crane workers have been thrown oas
on the streets and condemned tc
death through slow starvation, and
those who remain at work ara re-
ceiWng wage cuts and driven to death
by speed up, the parasite Mrs. Crane,
receives $4,000 year pocket money,
The Communist Party election pro-
gram has as its first demand:

ance at the expense of the state and
the employers" 1t is parasites IKE
