Our next contest, suggested by
one of the members, is to be on

We feel that this contest will
be especially interesting to out

whom have complained the ZOO

eliminated them. The birds, to

Comrades:

%. (No doubt to try and cripple
our preparations for the Mooney

attorney that the Goth was the best
he could do, so it seems that Mr..

be three Scotchmen inside of three

That's Something Else,
I asked Hayes why there was never
any move to deport Andrew Carnegie

his papers. That is different. He
was one of their gang of cut-throat

II PC. CUT IN -
HOOVER GREEN ,
FURLOUGH Bill.
Govt Employees MIST
Fight Wage Cut
Passed in House ri

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Hoover's
hunger plan to furlough all govern
mental employees for one month
without pay was adopted by the
House of Representatives last night
when the direct II per cent wage cut
was stricken out of the economy
bill.
The furlough plan compels all en-
ployees drawing a salary of $1,000 a
year or more to take one day off
each week without pay. Practically
it introduces the five-day week as
proposed by William Green, President
of the American Federation of La
bora measure that is thus exposed
as a wage-cutting measure.
In addition the plan suspends all
leaves of absence with pay for the
coming fiscal year, thus increasing
the extent of the wage cut enforced
upon the Federal employees through
this plan.
A worker receiving a salary Of $1,000
year or more unidentified to leave
of absence of one month VIII see his
salary cut down about II per cent.
And that is not all This worker will
be compelled to labor under an in
creased speed-up which will further
reduce his salary.
Through the fWlough stagger plan
just adopted by the House OF Repre-
sentatives the Government expects to
save $l00,000,000 in economist which
leave, however, additional economies
for $100,o00,000 more to be realized
if the budget is to be balanced.
Upon Hoover's refusal to reduce
government expenditures affecting
the army and nayy-namely the
preparation for a new imperialist
slaughter, the cry is being raised to
increase still more the already heavy
taxes which go into effect today.
Hoovers program is clear: Not
cent to the starving unemployed
workers, millions to prepare for i'm
perialist war, and in addition all the
burdens Of the budget deficit on the
toilers.

Illness and Death
Strikes Poor More
Often Says Survey

After studying for five years the
Committee on the Costs of Medical
Care discovered the long known fact
that the poorer people are the more
they are subject to disease and the
shorter is their life. OF 5000 people
who applied to the Charity Organi-
zation Society in New York over rs
per cent had some illness. Persons
dependent on charity in order to live
are sick nearly twice as often as
persons with incomes and the death
rate among the former is from so
to $50 per cent higher than that Of
the latter.
The report states: GAS one ascends
the economic scale, medical care be-
comes more adequate. This results in
postponement of death in GER
tain number of instances"
