MOTHER" OF THE
SEAMEN EXPOSED
Mother" Roper Says
Says She Gets $4,000
g Year

NEW YORK-A member of the
Marine Workers Industrial Unsiuon
was addressing a street meeting at
the corner of South and Whitehall
SITS. Some five hundred unemployed
seamen were in thea udienee; they
listened with rapt attention. The
speaker was exposing the grafters of
the Seamens Church Institute in
general and Mother Roper, the boss
of the place, in particular.
1t seems that dear old Mother
Roper was either hiding behind a post
listening to the expose or happened
to walk by when she heard her name
mentioned.
When the speaker saw he he be-
gan to ask her to defend herself
that is, if she could. With sickly
smile, Mother Roper squawked: II
won't take the platform here when
you call me a faker. This is a Joke"
"It's a joke, eh, replied the speaker,
when fifteen thousand seamen walk
the streets of New York without a
place to sleep and nothing to eat
while you put in your pocket the
money collected in our name. Well,
it's not a joke to u.s.
She Struts Off.
The crowd booed and jeered,
Mother Roper strutted off like an in
suited peacock, but later came back
for more.
Admits Big Salary.
One of the workers asked her if it
wasn't true that she received $4,000
a year salary. She replied, boast
fully, that it was $25 ,000
This meeting showed the seamen
the value of street talks. For as a
direct result Mother Roper became
somewhat conscience stricken and
gave out a box of sandwiches. And

organized for pigeons in the insti-
tuts, joine dthe Unemployed Council
