evening at rate of speed that was
bound to bring grief to someone
as it did very shortly.
When the car occupied by the

ern end of town, at Wards ware
house, it crashed into the rear of the
Pennsylvania car, travelling in the
same direction, but not at the same
speed.
The three young people in the Bal
timore car all escaped serious injury,
but the occupants of the other car
were so badly hurt that it was neces-
sary to take them to Lancaster Gen
eral Hospital, Lancaster, Pa.
Pending their recovery young
Budrecki and his brother were plac-
ed under heavy bail, for a hearing,
in default of which they were held
in Elkton Jail. The injured people
were able to appear at the hearing
on Saturday afternoon, when Joseph
Budrecki was sentenced to one
month in Elkton jail for reckless
driving, and twelve months in Jes-
sup's Cut for driving car while he
was under the influence of liquor.

All Relief; Hunger
March on June 5th

LONG ISLAND, N. "a hunger
march that vii include workers from
all the towns of Nassau County, Great
Neck, Elmont, Port Washington, Min
cola, Hicksville, Glen Cove, Hemp
stead and Huntington, will converge
at Mineola, the county seat on June
9Th, at p. m.
Farmers and small home owners
will join the jobless workers in the
march to demand relief or work,
against evictions, shutting off of gas
and electricity, and against fore
closures.
To Stop ALI Relief.
The decision for a hunger march
was made by the Long Island Unem-
ployed Action Committee when the
County Relief Bureau announced that
1000 jobless on ''relief work" will be
laid off and at the very same time
all relief will be stopped. $4,000 job
less have already been laid off in the
early part of this month.
False Promises.
The excuse given by the officials
for leaving the workers and their
families destitute, facing immediate
starvation and eviction is that they
were unable to float bonds to raise
funds. In order to pacify the work
ers, the chairman of the relief bur-
eau holds out the remote hope that
when necessary limited number
of the unemployed will be called to
work in the state parks and for pub
lie works.

Workers Forced to Pay High
Rents While Incomes Dqvindle
Live in Filthy Old Tenements; Survey Shows;
Most of Them Eager to Move

NEW YORK-From a survey made
by the League of Mothers Clubs the
following figures are obtainable
showing how workers are forced to
pay high rents for filthy tenement
flats.
The findings of the survey are
typical of tenement conditions in
most large American cities, especially
in relation to Negroes
The League made survey of the
numbers OF tenement families in 1929
and found that the median rent paid
then was $3i6 a year The present
survey shows the median rent for the
entire group is 1919 a year, while the
income dropped 1921, or 80 per cent.
From this" the survey declares,
some interesting conclusions may be
drawn:
First, that the decrease in wages
has been much more rapid than the
decrease in rent.
Second, that rents for tenement
houses have remained stable, hardly
varying in period of decrease in
cost of other commodities.
The report showed that half the
families studied we're occupying
apartments unfit for occupation. .
Only 81 of them, or per cent, lived
in new law tenement houses, while
276, or % per cent, lived in "dumbell
apartments" 492, or so per cent, lived
in railroad flats, and 143 or Is per
cent, lived in other types of houses.
OF the entire group, 772 families, or
70 per cent, were eager to move. ac-
