During the remainder Of the time at

He, too could be jovial when the mood
suited him.
"A friend of mine has place here" -"
Hal Sample said when they had eX-

OMAHA JOBLESS
COUNCIL WINS
Jobless Council Stops
Eviction of Two
Dear Comrade Editor.

Dear Comrade Editor
The Unemployed Council has won
several victories here. l will state
a couple Of the most important ones.
A married couple, here, resided in
a one room apartment on Chicago
Street. The husband had been out
of work for some time, and managed
to squeeze the room rent out of the
charities, although he had to scrimp
for food. The charities thought that
the worker WIS getting it too easy,
so they thre, ened to split the
couple, and to end him to the Sal
vation Army, and her to the city
mission. The Community Chest and
the landlord celebrated and while
the Chest called the couple to the
Office to see about next months rent,
the landlord threw the furniture and
belongings out of the room. The
Unemployed Council heard of this
act, and Immediately sent a COM
mittee to the city authorities, and
forced them to give the couple
place to live and weekly food. The
couple are now good members of the
Unemployed Council here.
Here is another case. Because of
him being out Of a job and with a
wife and child to support, Mr.. Prehs
went to the Family Welfare here to
apply for relief. He was brutally
treated and bawled out for getting
married, etc. He left one morning
with a note saying: Il can't stand
this any longer. I've been bawled
out by the charities too many times.
am going to end it all"
The charities, due to the fact that
he left, began to pick on Mrs. Prehs
and threatened to send her to the
City Mission and the boy to the or
phanage. In the meantime, the
landlord, after threatening several
times, broke in one morning at 6 O.
clock. The Unemployed Council or
ganized block committee and forced
the city administration to give them
immediate and weekly relief, also
rent.
