PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A few days
ago an unemployed worker in Pitts
burgh received the above letter which
refuses the worker relief because he
lives in shanty. This worker, James
Rich, is CT years old. At the time
Rich received this letter he was very
sick. For some time he had been
existing on the little he managed to
scrape up from a few of the neighborS
who were living on relief orders Last
week he was too weak to get out Of
his shanty. This letter informs him
to die in his shanty, that he would
get no food.
When this letter was read to the
Humber Block Committee the work
ers strongly condemned this outrage
Gus new deal" and elected a COM
mittee to thoroughly investigate this
case and bring this case to the well
fare agency for prompt attention.
Upon investigation the committee
found the welfare worker had visited
Comrade Rich. She asked how he
had managed to make out until now.
When he informed her that he was
struggling against starvation, she

Demand Food Order

After getting this information the
emergency committee went to the
welfare agency and demanded that
they issue food order for Comrade
Rich. The girl at the welfare Office
Informed us that city doctor would
be sent. We told her that what Com
rade Rich needs is food not only a
doctor. she promised that Conrade
Rich would be taken care Of. te
The doctor visited Comrade Rich
and proposed to take him to May
view, an insane asylum. Rich re-
sisted this proposal. The emergency
committee went back to the welfare
agency the next Gay and forced the
welfare to give Comrade Rich a food
order.
Relief Graft.
Last year it was revealed that the
county commissioners had stolen four
hundred thousand dollars from the
welfare fund. Just this week it was
revealed that it takes 1903 900 to ad-
minister relief in Allegheny County.
With all this graft they demand
workers to starve because funds are
getting low.
We workers in Pittsburgh are sick
of this and are fighting against
starvation and the proposed commits
sary plan. We are organizing for
more relief.

all these commodities produced by
convict labor, work clothing is the
most important.

CHILDREN POISONED
Mr.. WYNNE ADMITS

NEW YORK.-The Commissioner
of Health Wynne of New York City
let the following admission slip out
in a release he just sent to the press
after several children became sick
tpoisoned by food served in P. S. 8
in Brooklyn.
Investigation indicates that the
trouble was apparently caused by
sandwiches filled with chopped eggs,
celery and mayonnaise dressing, and
was probably due to bacterial con-
tamination whose source has not yet
been discovered"
Workers can rest assured that this
bit of information will be played
down by the boss papers. OF course
Mr.. Wynne can then say, well pub
lished it, didn't II" and continue to
poison children.

Returns in the nationwide

Latest count showed that Labor
had made 100 gains while the

Although the issue hardly con-

IDEAL WEATHER
IS BOOM To
D, c. GOLF

The bright and enticing
weather of the past several days
has been a tonic to local golf
as devotees of the game have
flocked out to their favorite
courses in droves. The season is
nearing its last gasp but there'll
be no dearth of traffic until the
weather changes.
In fact, the present conditions
are more conducive to golf than
at anytime this year. The
courses are in better shape, with
green's that are as soft as silk and
fairways of fine texture. Then,
the weather, too, has stirred up
the golfers blood and he dislikes
to let a fair day pass without a
round at his favorite pastime.
At that the winters here for
the past several years have been
mild and local golf has suffered
little in comparison with other
cities. Often the query has been
asked why go to Florida for
golf when all the advantages are
offered at home"
And there is plenty of truth
in that statement.
