Workers Built the Colony
Every bit of lumber, all kinds of
material was carried ON our own
backs and we built the colony our
selves.
In Shantytown all profit, all funds,
all offerings should go to the starv-
ing poor workers. But it goes to
Father CoX's pocket. So you see, out
Of Shantytown he made a zoo. He
has soup line, yes. What does he
give to the workers? Nothing but
slop. All rotten vegetables cooked
and diluted with warm water. It's
dished out in small bowl with a
couple of slices Of old bread and
half a cup Of coffee with a bad smell.
Do you workers think man could
live on it? OF course not! We Shanty-
town workers don't eat the slop.

Now clothing: we get some, if we
need a pair Of trousers we are given

Father Cox is misleading the work

STATLER HOTEL
CUTS PAY; HOLDS
.JIMCR0W DINNER
MANAGEMENT Calls 10
to Is Per Cent Cut
Cooperation
by a Worker Correspondent

CLEVELAND, O.-Recently Man
ager Dugan of the Hotel Statler hedl
q meeting with the employees in which
he said how sorry he was that the
present crisis is lasting so long and
that their business is also hard hit.
He said that the management is
willing to cooperate with the en-
ployes by cutting their wages 10 to Is
per cent until the depression" is
over.
Jimcrowed Negroes
There are a good many Negroes
working in the hotel, SO when it came
to giving a supper for the employees,
Mr.. Dugan divided the employees up,
putting the Negroes on one floor and
the white workers on another He
said it was not right they should eat
together. But he sure does not say
that they cant work together. in
fact, he sees to it that they must
work together SO that he can cut
wages at viii by playing off one
group Of workers against another.
Mr.. Dugan has forgotten to men,
ton one thing. Before the present
business crisis ne held no meetings
with the employees to tell them the
company wanted to cooperate with
them, when millions of dollars were
coming in which could have raised
their wages. He has always paid a
starvation wage, good times or bad,
I don't believe Mr.. Dugan cuts his
own wages He must have his and
the company must have its profits no
matter where it comes from. So
they take it out of the employees. Mr..
Dugan does not care if the colored
and white workers starys Or not, 50
long as the company makes its
profits
The time will come when the en-
ployes will realize that they must
cooperate together and not with the
bosses.

Demands Shelter,

by a Worker Correspondent)

CHICAGO.-Though thousands Of
families in Chicago face starvation.
though cases called to the attention
of the relief agencies have actually
starved to death before receiving re-
lief, the Emerson Relief Commission
is using the funds collected largely
from workers already suffering from
wage cuts, to defray the police en-
penditures of the city Of Chicago.
To relieve special traffic police
from the duty of protecting school
children at busy street intersections
and thus enable them to be used to
strengthen the regular forces of re-
preston, the commission has placed
several auxiliary police on its pay
roll.
Funds Collected from Workers
The funds of the commission are
collected from workers, who have
sums deducted from their pay with.
out their consent, which they can
either accept or quit The express
purpose for which this money is col
lectcd is to provide such ample re
lief to the unemployed that mo Un-

The Emerson Commission has fire.
quently called upon the police to
irtimidate, dispense and arrest COM
mittees and delegations of uneinploy-
ed workers who we're protesting the
measure Of relief given by thu COM
mission. Probably for this reason it
feels that the deftaying Of patce ev-
penditures is one Of its obligations.
The report rendered by the COM
mission on Dec. 18th lists over $4,000
under the head Of protective SER
vices. Meanwhile mothers see their
children grow stunted and sick and
speak Of them as one woman lately
spoke TO the writer. Look at them.

They don't get enough to eat"
The bankers, politicians and big
industrial interests confronted with
the victims OF their greed are not
content with the usual police repres-
sion and attempts to OUTLAW every
working class manifestation against
starvation through the criminal syn
dicalism law, but now IN their des-
peration openly use the moneys filch-
eel from the workers pay TO increase
their instruments of oppression.

cents at most per child. OF course
it is needless to explain that this
money is going into the pockets of
the Tammany Hall controlled Board
OF Education grafters.
Only few days ago one of the
children who has been to several
meetings of the Young Pioneers and
was acquainted with the demands of
the Pioneers for hot lunch, clothing
and carfare for the children of the
unemployed going to school, brought
a note to the principal of P. S. t41
from his mother asking the principal
of the school to give him the milk
without money since they could not
afford to pay for it. What was the
answer of the princlps1? She asked
the child about his father: what sort
Of work he does, how they pay rent.
Of course, she did not give the child
the milk as requested, but asked the
child "if he is q Communist" and be-
gan threatening the child, telling him
that he would be hit if he did not
salute the flag, and he has been
struck several times by the so called
monitors who are instructed by the
principal,
The same principal has time and
time again organized groups OF chill
dren to disturb our open air meetings
Which are held at the corner of the
school. At the last meeting about
fifty kids were sent to disturb our
meeting by shouting and creating d
general racket. We, however, sue
ceeded in getting them to keep quite
and to listen to the speaker. The
children readily admitted that they
had been told by their teachers that
the Reds" wanted to kill them and
wanted to take them away from their
homes and all of that kind of bunk
One of the kids told of how he was

when he was given the shoes the soles

I took the stand and began telling the
workers and children assembled at
the meeting of the attempts to init
midate the children and to prevent
them from fighting In. the schools
for relief.
The schools are supposed to be
feeding the children hot lunches, ac-
cording to the various news releases
given out by the Board of Education.
But is this SO i'll williamsburg? No.
The parents must awake to the fact
that not only are they themselves
being fooled by the fake relief cam
paigns of the Tammany Hall grafters
but their children also are being util-
lied by these grafters to fill their
own pockets with the money that is
supposed to go to feed and clothe
the children OF the unemployed and
part time workers of the school men
toned. They must rally TO the TN
employed Council and force the
school authorities to give the children
hot lunches and clothing Only when
the workers are organized can they
force the grafters to act. Therefore,
join the Unemployed Branch of Will
liamsburg which meets every morn
ing at 10 O'Clock at 81 Graham Ave.
The children should join the Free

the Young Pioneers, which meets

Coroner Fred Schwartz of Philadel- phia questioned a number of wit nesses as to Miss Burkle's mental attitude. It developed that she had shown evidence of despondency over a relatives death, but there was no indication that she con- templated suicide. At the cor oner's request the case was given the benefit of any doubt which ex- isted and the jury returned a ver- dict of accidental death.
