CHICAGO. - Mrs. Edna Scherer,
mother of four boys all under six
years of age and starving, went in
sane here today, and tried to repel
police invasion of her home axing
the cope. Neighbors had reported
to the police that the woman and
her boys had not been seen leaving
the house for over six months.
The police broke the windows in
order to let fresh air into the house.
The mother had only some under
wear to wear to the police sta
ton and none of the children had
any clothing. All were on the verge
of collapse from starvation. The
Chicago capitalists who insist that
there is no starvation in Chicago will
have to explain to the workers how
this happened. Chicago workers
are called upon to fight for adequate
relief appropriations from the city
and county government by joining
the Unemployed Councils.
