NEWS CENSORED
BY MISS PERKINS
New Labor Department Pol
icy Causes Discomfort
Among Members of Press.

A news censorship 20 far Is affairs
of the Department Of Labor are con-
cerned has been invoked by Secretary
Perkins. ..... ..... --
No news. including routine employ
ment and other statistical reports, may
Do made public by other department
officials unless Arst authorized BY the
woman cabinet ofncer.
According to her subordinatas, abe
has issued orders to this effect and has
emphasized, they said. abe expected
them to be carried out.
Newspaper men assigned to the Labor
Department, - the result, are beginning
to complain. but SO far they say their
appeals have bsen to no avail.
They are IN agreement that Miss
the busiest Of President Roosevelt's cab
met members because Of Federal in
dustrial control and public works legis-
lation. They also said they believed
she was sincere when she issued a
statement that she does not personally
care for publicity.
However, the main objections voiced
by the correspondents are that public
records are not being made available
to them because department otncials
demand that such requests must f1rSt
be approved by Miss Perkins.
Complaining members Of the press
charge that their efforts to get such
permission are blocked by Miss Perkins
secretaries, who contend the cabinet
official is too busily engaged on more
pressing matters to be interrupted.
Smoldering flames Of discomfort over
this policy were stirred Tuesday when
newspaper men accompanied Miss Ann
Burlak and other members Of radical
delegation to Miss Perkins Office.
Although Miss Burlak and her dele
CATION were admitted Immediately into
Miss Perkins room, newspaper men, for
unexplained reasons, were told by q
secretary that the radical delegation
would not be received by the cabinet
officer. The correspondents. however,
waited for the conference to adjourn.
Seated In reception room next TO
Miss Perkins Office they heard the
high pitched and excited voices OF both
Miss Perkins and Miss Burlak. The
latter afterward said Miss Perkins
treated them cordially, but refused to
commit herself on any Of the issues
presented.
Newspaper men then attempted to
see Miss Perkins but were told by one
of her six secretaries such would be
impossible. Since taking ONCE Miss
Perkins has called three press confer
ences, the last being held more than
two weeks ago Other cabinet members
see newspaper men on the average Of
twice a week.

And they don't get enough to eat.
Many are reported dying from some
kind OF spine desease and scores of
youth are confined in the hospital
tents. After three or four days the
sick person is taken away to some
unknown destination. Those sent to
the hospital never returned, and the
camp officials covered the absence
with the assertion that the men were
sent home.
This disease manifests itself among
the Negro youth who are quarantined
in their camp, with guards thrown
around their camp to prevent escapes.
When a youth requests his dis

Protesting Eviction

WAUKEGAN, Il1--Andrew Mazlo
and Ray Davis were each sentenced
to 40 days in Jail for helping to fight
against the eviction of a widow and
her child. The Unemployed Coun-
Gil elected a committee to go to the
Illinois Emergency Relief station and
ask for a place for Mrs. Donaldson
a Negro woman who was to be evict-
ed.
Landlords here refuse to accept
rent paid by the Relief as they only
pay for one month when some one
is already evicted. Especially is it
hard. for Negro family to find a
house when the relief only allows
$40 for the months rent.
When the committee reported this
action to the workers it was decided
to move the furniture in front Of the
relief station. When the first truck
load was hrousi,t before the station
the police we're called to make ar
rests. When the second truck load
was brought the arrests we're made.
The arrested ones were fined 500
and cost each, which amounts to a
40 days sentence.
Eight hundred workers in this city
now face eviction.

Weaknesses in Organization
The reason "Griadushchi Mir" is

the commune is not doing as well as
it should, The crowded conditions in
the homes, the lack of bath house,
1.-THE inadequate farm BUILDINGS can
not be explained entirely either by
lack Of funds or shortage of build
ing materials. The low yield of wheat,
the basic crop Qast year it was only
eight centners to the hectare) is cer-
tainly not due to the low fertility of
the soil. Things did not go as we'll
as they should have in the manage
ment of the commune. There was a
good deal of loose business practices
of lax discipline The Party nucleus
brought the matter to a head by pre-
senting serious charges against the
management. The old management

affairs of the estate in hand Under
the new management thinks have
been going much better, and "Gri-
adushchi Mir" is we'll on its way to
prosperity and efficiency.
During the spring sowing the COM
mune has made name for itself not
only in Crirnea but throughout the
country. An article in Prayda, the
central organ of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union, which does not
hand out praise or blame lightly,

the feat of sowing its corn at an un-
usually early date. 1t happened to
be on the day Of my visit when the
sowing of corn was started. The ag-
ronomoist agricultural expert) of the
commune was in state Of agitation.
He had just been through row with
an official Of the District Agricultural
office who as much as forbade him
to risk the early sowing Of corn in
view Of the uncertainty of the wealth

getic, self-reliant man of peasant Or

words to that effect, and ordered his
men out to the field. While neigh
boring colhozes were still busy wind
ing UP their schedules Of sowing the
carly spring crops, "Griadushchi Mir"
had already finished this part of the
sowing program and was busy plant
ing corn and plowing for the autumn
sowing.
