At Relief Bureau
Refuses
All Other Demands
of Workers

NEW YORK. -Immediate clothing
for those without resources was
wrung from a reluctant Home Relief
Bureau head as a result of the
spirited demonstration of 200 work.
ers held yesterday at the Spring and
Elizabeth Bureau by the Downtown
Action Committee and Expelled Local
2 and 8 of the Workers Committee
on Unemployment.
Police stopped the delegation of five
elected workers, saying that Mrs
Goldman, head supervisor, would see
them only one at a time. The in
dignant workers Instantly set up a
shout demanding she see the whole
delegation. AS a result she granted
permission for two workers to go up
with the demands. No reporters were
allowed up with the delegation.
Mrs. Goldman kept the delegation
in her Office for 20 minutes explain
ing that all the demands presented
were out of her jurisdiction. Single
workers, she explained, were not re-
gistered before and cannot be re-
gistered now; coal could not be de-
livered to the homes of the jobless;
they will have to stand on line as
usual; jobs at trade union wages or
cash relief was out of her jurisdic-
ton; no red tape at the Relief Bu-
reaus, the right of free entrance to
workers delegations was out of her
jurisdiction, but those without re-
sources would get clothing, she prom
ised, and the 20 cases presented by
the delegation would get immediate
attention.
Jack Roth OF the Downtown Com
mittee of Action presenting the re-
port Of the delegation pointed out
that the promise OF clothing applies
to every one now on the relief rolls,
because a worker must be destitute
and threatened with an eviction be-
fore he receives any aid. He urged
all workers to come to the Bureau
demanding free clothing to mobilize
for the city-wide demonstration to
be held Jan. Is.

Garment Workers Union to take the
Jobs Of strikers at the Ann Gladys

up with the I. L. G. w. with the
workers receiving so per cent less for
the work previously done when the

NEW YORK. - Twenty eight So

charged without notice by the Postal

ers. The union warns that more
workers taken on at practically star

Wagner's handling Of the matter.
Wagner referred it to the Justice
Department..
Today the Justice Department
Chief, Cummings, said, II am not in
position to say what legal action
will be taken. The matter is being
given intense consideration in the
antitrust division. If they conclude
that action is warranted, 1t will be
taken"
Studying Statements ).
Among other things, explained
Cummings, the division is studying
the statements of Hundreds" of
workers concerning the company
union election held on Dec. Is. Wag-
ner has said publicly that the viola
ton occurred before this election
when the company schemed to es-
tablish the company union and re-
fused to allow the labor board repre-
sentative to prepare for an election.
1t is well known that the anti
trust division of the Department. of
Justice takes weeks or months to
make up its mind to proceed, and
that many important cases have
rested in that agency literally for
years before coming to trial.
Somebody Blunders
Somebody has Numbered, apparent
ly, for Cummings didn't mention
anything about an injunction, al
though Wagner said he had asked
the Department of Justice to secure
one to prevent company interference
with an election which Wagner
promised to hold sometime later.

yJE received a telegram about AL
" Norgard's ineligibility. 1t seems
the first string right end OF the
Palo Alto eleven had played for ST
Ignatius College in San Francisco
as far back as 1929 and this is
against the rules. You can see why
The big schools would gobble up
all the stars once they showed
what they can do at q jerkwater
college. So they can only play for
one school during their entire ca
reer unless they change their
names. Both Santa Clara and the
University Of California had ques-
toned Norgard's right to play but
the conference Just came to deci-
sion. Professor Owen looked up the
San Francisco papers for Septem-
Der, 1929, and found Norgard had
played two minutes as substitute
against a submarine naval base
team. This was all to the good and
boys went back to the field ana
had a snappy workout. Some of the
group seemed a little slow in get
ting out of the cleat holes and
the passes wobbled just a wee BIZ
unimpressively. Mr. Little beefed
and these shortcomings were cor,
rected.
rACK on the train we had

They didn't beam while uncover

The players are gay and several
of the alumni feel they don't fully

NR. LITTLE called the team to-
IVA gether and we went into the
dugout to consult with newspaper
men from town sheets. Some of
them suggested that the food be
distributed in few Of the bread
lines around the city, but one of
our alumni travelling on the special
thought that would be wrong. He
is a prominent manufacturer and
has had experience in similar stu
atoms. He said 1t was first-rate
food, exceptionally well prepared
and when the unemployed learn
where it's from they might burn
up and get ideas. One of the play
ers said hell, we'll be a thousand
miles away from here then, but the
manufacturing alumnus said that
wasn't the spirit, we must ease the
administrations difficulties wIaer-
ever we are. The trainer suggested
that we dump the food into the
Mississippi River, which was at
hand. The unemployed go fishing
there anyway and the fish eat the
refuse and so we'll be helping the
unemployed without their becom-
ing unduIy incensed. The debate
dragged on, but they agreed to let
the food stand for a few days and
deteriorate so the breadlines don't
get indignant.
