BOYS WARNED

Relief Cut Threatened

(By a Worker Correspondent


MIAMI, Fls.-Miami is doing its
share of rounding up it's young citi-
zens for forced labor in reforestation
camps. About $50 were herded on an
empty track near the station after
they had registered in the City Hall
Some of the tiny sutcases carried
by the enlisted men were feather
weight. Very many had no suit cases,
and their average per capita Of the
Nations wealth they carried in
their vest pocket. Many did not even
have a vest, but only trousers and a
shirt, no hats, no caps, no neckties.
An army officer in civil dress sd-
dressed them: You might be told by
some that you are joining the army.
This is not the case. This is indie
pendent of the army. The only rea-
son this is handled by army men is
because the military people are the
most capable of organizing and feed
ing and looking after the health Of
large bodies of people.
"You are being taken to Fort Ben
ming, Ga, not for military training.
Many of you have not been eating
enough, or if you did, you did not eat
the right food. You are going to be
properly fed and you will gain weight,
You will be given exercises and pre-
pared so you could be easily handled

writer's acquaintance with them,
Owens worked as a bootblack in a
barbershop after school. That he
was able to put on such remarkable
performance despite these handi-
caps is little short of miraculous,
Negro Athletes Have Hard Fight.
Despite his marvellous ability,
Owens will by no means have clear
sailing in the sport world. The
bourgeois sport organizations make a
sharp distinction between Negro and
white athletes no matter how good
the Negro may be. One recalls the
case OF Owens great predecessor,
Eddie Tolan, who captured the
Olympic championships in the 100
and 400 metre runs last year, and
who. on trip to Europe couple of
years ago with number of white
stars, was compelled to live alone,
apart from his white team mates.
Recently Tolan announced his re-
tirement from amateur sport be-
cause he said it was too expensive
for him. Imagine white Olympic
champ and worlds record holder
having to quit amateur athletics be-
cause of the expense involved. With
most OF them it's a profitable bust
ness.
The cases OF discrimination
against even Negro champions in
the Amateur Athletic Union and
othcr bourgeois sport organizations
are numerous and have often been
mentioned in the columns Of New

in the Labor Sports Union, where

FOREST RANGERS
DICTAT0RS
Living on Stews to
Fatten the Grafters
(By Labor Camp Correspondent)

(By a Labor Camp Correspondent
NEAR PITTSBURGH, Pa-Condi-
tions are still quite miserable here.
We have boardwalks now, but it Is
still muddy here due to continued
rains. The Chief Forest Rangers
ordered our officers to feed us better,
and the result is that We are getting
little better food than previous, but
there still is plenty of graft.
We are not allowed to rest or leave
work unless authorized by a forest
ranger, but we are given 10-lninute
rest period in the morning and ten
minutes in the afternoon. We are
not allowed to smoke except in these
rest periods. What do you think Of
this all for 81 a day?
I was informed by a chief forest
ranger that there is more behind this
than work. He expects this country
to get into war within eight months.
We were told at Fort Monroe that in
case Of any emergency we would be
turned into fighting machine i'm
mediately.
I just returned from supper which
was pretty good compared to what
we were getting. Here's what we got
Beef-stew, 8 slices bread, apple butter
and black coffee without sugar. We
call coffee here tobacco Juice. There
was about two ounces of meat in
each fellows stew, We are only al
lowed 70 pounds meat day and
ten bushels of potatoes. Figure this
out for three meals and 200 men.
Meals are made in the cheapest
manner to afford graft. We get about
five ounces of meat day per person.
That is why they make stews.
We still don't have showers, and If
they don't install them soon, we will
be lousy.

NEW YORK; happened to turn
on the radio and heard the Isaac
Walton League at a convention in
Chicago. This league is supposed to
consist of sportsmen who hunt and
fish.
A senator from Connecticut sug-
gosted a bill for this clubs benefit to
put the reforestation men not only in
the forests, but. to make them re-
stock fields, streams, and clear up
polluted streams, so these fat-bellied
so-called sportsmen can enjoy some
good fishing and hunting for weeks,
yes even months at time. They do
not suggest paying these young men
regular wages for this work
This should inspire us to fight more
completely the program of forced
labor.-R.

Too Cold to Sleep;
Filthy Toilets; War
Preparations at Dix

Icy Labor Camp Correspondent
CAMP DIX, N. I'VE are having
hell of time at camp. At night
it is so cold that most of the fell
lows cannot fall asleep till about two
three or four o'clock in the morning.
SO many fellows left on this account
that the Army officers were forced
to issue an extra blanket to all the
men in each company.
The food they give us is bad. All
the boys don't like the drink they
call coffee and lot don't even drink
it. The beans we have are terrible.
When you eat some you can't sleep,
and at night you feel like a balloon.
We had some corned beef. All you
could taste was salt. And what
bad smell the beef had. Many
threw it away.
War QUESTIONABLE.
An emergency QUESTIONABLE was
given to all the boys. The questions
were as follows; Did you serve in the
Army or Navy? If so, what rank
did You hold? Did you serve in
the National Guard? Did you serve
in the C. M. T. c. at any time?
A fellow who stays here sure must
have strong constitution. We have
an army chief visiting from New
York City and the District of Col
umbia. We are told that if we don't
obey we will be sent home but fell
lows are leaving almost daily. They
can't stand the camps.
Some OF the fellows have to clean
the toilets and what sight some
Of them were. The contents were
on the seats and floor In some of
the company toilets. None of the
boys know when or where or If they
are going somewhere else from here.
Buses are arriving almost day
and night with new men. Some
buses are from New York, Pater-
son, Jersey City, Atlantic City and
from other places. A Friend.
