4. Abolition of the demonstration
camps, which are for the purpose of
making soldiers of the boys of the

5. Utilization of all war and re-
forestation camp funds (the latter

6. Immediate distribution of food
stuff to the jobless and not its des-
truction.
7. Free medical. dental and hos
pital service for the families of the
unemployed.
This is the minimum to safeguard
the welfare of the working class
family, and through it of the working
class child. Without this security, all

hypocriscy aimed at keeping the
workers from struggling for the life
OF the working class children.
We call upon the working class
mothers and fathers to mobilize i'm
mediately for bitter struggle for
our children. In every neighborhood,
the Unemployed Councils must rally
the workers for struggle to provide
for the children. Struggles at the
relief buros, local marches, enlisting
the support Of all working class or
CARNATIONS. This soon enough will
not only get relief for the unem-
ployed, but show up the hypocriscy

By L AMTER.

Frances Perkins, secretary OF labor,
held conference in Washington on
Oct. on child health. Miss Perkins
said that in 1890 there were 100000
children in the country suffering from
undernourishment. She declared that
conditions are appalling"
Miss Perkins was industrial COM
missioner of New York-now she is
the United States Secretary of Labor.
How does it happen that it has taken
Miss Perkins from 1880 to 1888 to
learn about the condition, not of the
100000 but of the tens of millions
of the children of the working class
of this country, who are starving2
Why this solicitude for the working
class child? 1t is all part Of the
N.R-A. ballyhOo, which is not, helping
the employed workers and does not
provide one penny for the unem-
ployed.
Wherever there is unemployment
there is child undernourishment. This
is the A B G of the situation. With
100000 unemployed and millions
working part time in the country,
the U. S. government knew that the
situation of the children was menac-
ing. What did the government do
either in N. Y. State, when Miss
Perkins was there, or since she be-
came secretary of labor?
Relief in every state of the country
has been shamefully low. The starva-
ton standard has been still further
reduced In Mississippi the family
has to live on 1896 month, in South
Carolina on $5.61, in Texas on S6.93.
Does this mean livingf II means
slow death.
In the north, with relief around
N$18 Notwithstanding everything
how can a family live? 1t cannot.
Therefore we find starvation on all
hands. Children faint from hunger
in schools; children pick leavings out
of the garbage cans; hordes of chill
dren and adults pick rotten vege-
tables from the city dumps. This is
known to Miss Perkins-even from
government documents-but the gov
eminent did nothing.

Of the children of Pennsylvania are
suffering from undernourishment
Even in the days of prosperity" the
children and adults of Tennessee and
Kentucky we're suffering from pei
lagra and flux. Today we must add
ricketts, and tuberculosis. In the des-
titute sections of the mining areas
of Kentucky and West Virginia 81
per cent Of the children are hungry.
Add to this the crowding into
homes-two, three or four families in

nomads, living on scraps of food
while the government destroys 5,0O0,-
900 hogs, tens Of wheat and millions
of bales of cotton, in order to keep
up prices. ~
And above something known
to the government-the fearful SIT
uation of the Negroes both in the
North and the South. The Negroes
have suffered from unemployment
more than the white workers. Their
wages have always been lower. The
government added to their plight by
discriminating against tens Of thous-
ands of them, giving. them no relief,
or less relief, denying them hospital
service-treating them like dogs.
The Unemployed Councils have
raised the demands for:

to point that is now 8 per cent

During this time, the cost of food,
has risen at least twenty-eight per
cent as a result of the Roosevelt
price-raising program.
For the first time in some time,
the index shows advancing rents.
Clothing prices particularly, have
shot upwards as a result of the cot

and the Roosevelt processing taxes.
They are now "a per cent higher than
they were in May Of this year, indi-
eating one of the swiftest advances
in many decades.
Rising coal prices will also increase

is one of the steepest advances OF

These advances have taken place
on background of declining wages
