WORKER CORRESPONDENTS
Worker Learns What
Landlords Sympathy
With Plight Means

A worker by the name Of William
Baker resides at 1922 Indiana Ave.
alon g with his wife and three small
children. They have been living at
this address for six years, paying
their rent, that was when things wos
supposed to have been good, but along
with the crisis Baker was not
able to pay full rent. He had to
pay what he could.
His landlord by the name of John
Sheridan came to this worker just
before the election: and asked for
more rent; Baker then went about
the pointing out to Sheridan that
his children were hungry, he had
given him as much as he had.
Then Sheridan began to sympath-
lie with his tenant. Also good, then
came the time for the Signature
Drive Of the Party. Baker went to
Sheridan and asked for his signature
this he freely gave, along with rs
cent to help carry on the work. Then
he began to explain to Baker about
the Soviet Union, he told Baker how
he was kicked off the streets OF Russia
at the time Of the Car, and also
how how his father was smuggling
Rev. literature to Russia and other
places, but at the last of his CONVEX
sation he stated that the party would
never get on the ballot in Illinois,
and he went as far as to tell Baker
not to worry about the rent, to pay
what he cauld.
Finally .Comrade Baker got behind
in his electric bill and also the gas,
the results was that the gas and
lights were cut off, Baker then went
to the Unemployed Council and they
got busy and turned them both on
Sheridan did not like this so well

grocery store next door. This stool
name is Allen, Address 1925 Indiana

works for Sheridan, these two called
the police, and had Baker arrested,

case, and defeated the bosses courts,
Sheridan not satisfied at this issued
. five day notice, on going to court
the judge gave every one thirty days
to secure a place, but when the de-

legation of workers went to Sheridan.
Upon arrival of the delegation asked
Sheridan, will you evict this worker
or not? This question John Sheridan
would not answer, but instead he be-
gan by telling the delegation that he
could teach then something about

Forced Labor in
Cory, Pennsylvania

CORY, PA few days ago the
Relief Committee announced that
forced labor would be demanded of
the unemployed before any relief
would be forthcoming. They demand
that the unemployed men work at
such work as they choose to give. In
return they will give them relief in
the form Of groceries as they choose.
At present, they limit such labor to
one day per week. But there is no law
to prevent them from compelling the
unemployed to work every day in the
week for such commodities as they
choose to give them. Thus adopting
the system of the southern planters,
who compel the Negroes to work for
furnish"
Most of the unemployed are opposed
to this system of forced labor. They
prefer to have wages for their work
ard spend the money earned as they
please. There is great need of an
unemployed council here to protect
the rights Of the workers, and we will
try to get one started.
Wages, in such local shops as are
running, average about 80 cents per
hour. And nearly all the workers are
on part time schedules. The shops are
all nom union. There is crying need
for unions to protect them. The men
know this, but lack organizing ex-
perience, employers always ready to
fire militant workers, and stool
pigeons always shopping around, 1t is
difficult for them to organize.
