BUSINESS IS
FINE" SAYS 9Th
AVE. JOB SHARK
N e e d for Jobless
Insurance Shown in
Daily Interviews
BY PASCUAL

Il
What do some of the jobless thou
sands who tramp the streets along
Sixth Ave, haunting the agencies
for Roosevelt's New Deal, think of
Unemployment Insurance, the 7-cent
fare, and Home Relief Bureaus?
Questioning workers along the ave-
nue., the Daily Worker reporter got
the following answers:
The first worker contacted on
Sixth Ave. became Infatuated when
his opinion was asked on the 7-cent
fare. I'm walking around starvin'
an looldn' for a job" he shouted.
IAN you got the nerve to ask me
what I think of the 7-cent fare.
Amt a nickel enough for that damn
mayor"
While other workers did not ex-
press themselves as heatedly on the
7-cent fare question, yet all an
swered with scornful sneer. where
is a guy gonna get the money!"
Peter Carney of 315 w. 18th St..
former hospital worker, answered
the question in a way all unem-
ployed workers can understand
Look here" he said, you spend a
dime coming to Sixth Ave and 60
ing home. With a 7-cent fare, that
makes 4 cents additional. Then the
agency sends you out after two Jobs
that you don't get. That's another
cents, an with that money you
could buy sandwich"
An o. ca,-rrs
dergast Of BAL First Ave, replied tc
the questions: Let them tax the
rich" he said, land give us Unem-
ployment Insurance instead of this
damn degrading charity at the Home
Relief Bureaus"
For years now, ever since Sixth
Ave. became the job market Of New
York City, workers have been crowd
ing around the signboards from 42nd
to 55th SITS, looking with hard in
tentness at the little white cards
tackled on the board. One card
might mean SO much If it could be
translated into job. If the card is
found one must walk quickly up the
rickety old stairs into a dark room
where the job shark sits enthroned
at desk fenced off from the work
ers. Many times finding that the Job
is taken or that the 7O-hour soda
job pays only II cents an hour, OF
to be sent on a wild goose chase after
q job to which three others have
been sent.
Business Is Fine"
But, Business is fine" said Mrs
Stiles, owner of the Hippodrome
Agency "Of course the hours are
long and the wages small, but you
should see the crowds that come here
in the morning" she remarked glee-
fully. I'VE have to use a doorman
to keep them out"
She has placed on the wall a pic
ture o Roosevelt With the words I'M
derneath: 1.-THE only thing we have
to fear is fear itself" But the work
ers in the agency read that state
nent as, ito fear starvation" There

Let the Daily Worker become a
part of the daily life of the farm
ers as well as the workers!
1--WE on the farms must rally our
forces for an ever-wider circulation
for OUR paper"
How can we spread the Daily
Worker among the farmersP This
is an important question. There are
great opportunities now, when the
farmers are rising in strikes against
foreclosure, for better prices for their
products.
Usually it is hard to get a large
group of farmers together, and the
work of spreading the Daily must
be done slowly and patiently. The
same patience, however, is necessary
when large groups Of farmers are
gathered in a body. on strike. Local
comrades must send first-hand news
Of the farm struggles to the Daily
Worker and see that copies OF the

Youth Delegation in

CLEVELAND. Ohio June 23.-Ihe
Ohio State Relief March, converging
in the State Capitol in Columbus on
June 25 has as one of its detectives
to force the state government to
provide immediate relief to the job
less youth in Ohio.
This accounts for the fact that in
all Columbus the youth are we'll rep

per cent of the $50 marchers are
youth. In Column Two 40 per cent
are youth marchers. In Column
Three about so per cent. are youth
and similar representation exists
among the Cincinnati and Dayton
marchers.
The youth delegation is also de-
termined to show Governor White
that his words mo youth are STAR
wing in the state" are false, by pre-
senting hundreds Of written applica-
tions for relief by unemployed youth
in various ports Of the state.

The farmers will Immediately
note the difference in the stories

ALBANY, June 23.-The Milk
Control Board, set up by Governor
Lehman as an agency to aid the milk
trust keep down the price Of milk
to the farmers and charge high
monopoly prices to consumers, has
devised new attack against both
workers and farmers. It has drafted
q plan TO supervise milk production
in New York state and to reduce
milk production in order to help
keep prices high.
Hit Farmers and Consumers.
The plan, in brief is to force
farmers to cut down milk production
by threatening to pay still lower
prices than now prevail to those
who do not do so. This will create
scarcity Of milk and will aid in
keeping up prices.
This action was taken because
there 6re hundreds of cases thru
out the state of milk dealers pur-
chasing the supplies direct from
farmers and selling to consumers at
lower than the dairy trust price. The
Milk Board has been prosecuting a
number of these "violators' but has
not been able to eradicate the prac-
tice.
Details of the plan will be worked
out and ready for action by Thurs
day according to Agriculture Com

A Ten-Day Stay

Originally the washington
club had planned to make an
announcement today as to the
local world series ticket ar
rangements, feeling such would
give fans a little over a month
to make their plans, but it also
hoped to be 10 games ahead by
now. and thought that would
be enough of a lead to assure
them their pending world series
arrangements would not be for
naught.
AS matters stand, the club is
a game and a half short of that
goal and an additional 10 days
to establish beyond a math-
matical slip their supremacy
has been established.
e Meanwhile Judge Lands and
President William Harridge will
be consulted as to their wishes
regarding certain details, one
of the most important of which
concerns the issue of selling
tickets for single games or for
all three games in the two re-
spective cities.
It has ever been the custom
to sell tickets for three games
in each city. rebating to the
patrons the purchase price paid
for any unplayed games caused
by an early settlement Of the
annual baseball issue.
y In both New York and Chi
cago last year. there were spots
in the stands, except for the
Sunday final game in Chicago.
The New York vacant seats were
unquestionably due to two
causes. The weather was
threatening and New York has
become somewhat blase to the
Yankees. It will be different
with the Giants and there is
no doubt every seat for every
game will be clamored for in
Washington.

Rules for Winning
SeatSt Next
World Series

The 10 contestants coming
nearest to the Ruth selection
and submitting the best reason
for selections will be declared
the winners. They will see the
first block of world series
games played in Washington as
guests of The Washington Times.
If washington is not in the
series, then the two (2) contest
ants most nearly approximating
Ruth's team will see the first
two games of the world series
played in the National League
city competing. All winning ties
will receive the same award.
Contestants must not only
try to select the same team as
Babe Ruth picks but must at
tempt to arrange it in the
same batting order as those on
Ruth's team. The two pitchers
will be named last and in that
only one pitcher could be in
the game at once, it will make
no difference which pitcher is
placed first in the batting
order.
A player may be placed in a
position other than his regular
position, provided he has occu-
pied the alternate position in
one or more games this season.
All players on all major
league teams are eligible ex-
cept Babe Ruth. Ruth will not
select himself.
Address all selections to Babe
Ruth Contest Editor, Sporting
Department, The Washington
Times. Washington, D. c.
Each selection must be &C.
companied by a letter Of $50
words or less giving the reasons
for the selection.
If possible use the coupon
printed on the Sports Page for
submitting your team. The
contest closes at midnight, Sep
tember 8, and the winners will
be announced as soon there
after as possible.
