will be to run Mr.. Hoover's cam
paign for reelection.

Ignores Evidence

NEW YORK.-Five hundred as
sembled at noon yesterday at the call
of 1.-THE Fighting Sixth in the drive
to eliminate the racketeeering job
sharks.
The crowd overflowed the packed
midtown sidewalks, despite police
mobilization. They listened atten-
lively while speakers described the
atrocious swindling of pennyless I'M
employed by the sharks. An elected
committee Of 10 went downtown to
see License Commissioners Geraghty
at his Office, 6 Reade Street.
AS a result another larger demon
stration has been called for II a. m.
next Tuesday at Geraghty's office, be-
cause Geraghty only sent his secre-
tary to hear the committees demands
that the licenses of four job sharks
be revoked.
The midtown demonstrators in the
meantime forced the Empire State
agency, 1885 Sixth Avenue, to give
back SO swindled from Caezar Tuillee,
a worker with hungry family to
support. They also made the AM

Charity Stop
PoisonS Whole

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 3D.
Doctors and nurses at hospital
here had to work hours to save
from death a family of seven,
named Darling, poisoned by eating
canned corn and tomatoes dOlled
out to them by the Los Angeles
Charity Warehouse. In the family
were four small children. The
father had been out of work for
a long time, and the family got
some of the charity food.
Workers here are forced to con-
tribute, for fear of losing their jobs
otherwise, to the community fund.
Most of the money goes for sal
aries, off ces and very little of it
for food for workers. Leftover and
rotten food is gathered from the
groceries, and this stuff is given
out by flop houses, labor camps
and the welfare board.
