fieient funds after the COM
bined sum of its own and the
federal government, only then
are additional funds to be given
from this emergency.
Reports from governors and Roose-
velt's government statistics show how
ridiculous the relief bill' is in taking
care of the minimum needs of the
II million unemployed.
Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania
estimated the needs for the month
of November 1882 alone as $e,348,000.
This for the So Of the 81 counties.
He Said that the state will raise %
per cent of this amount; the remain
ing " per cent has to come from
federal funds. On Pinchot's relief the
miners in Pennsylvania live on Red
Cross flour
Relief in important cities as Pitts
burgh do not exceed 80 cents per per-
son for a week. But Roosevelt says
that not 70 per cent, but one-third
will be given to the state. What will
this mean to the unemployed who
are bounced around by the liberals"
as Pinchot and Roosevelt.
The relief expenditures for only
six large industrial centers for a
year were as follows. These figures
are based on the needs for May, 1882
New York ... ...... SIS zoo, 600
Philadelphia g. Pittsburgh $2o,5o0,OO
Cleveland and Toledo ... 81 ,000, 900
Boston ..... ...... $4,000, 900
For these six cities alone there is
a need of s116,5oo,oo0 a year tThis
is in round figures. With increased
unemployment. With tens of thou
sands of additional families in need
of relief, this amount is about
doubled
According to Roosevelt's relief
bill, so per cent of the total amount
allotted is needed for these six cities
alone. How about the millions all
over the country?
What does the Relief bill" mean2
1t is another of Roosevelt's tricks in
tended to hide the fact that the gov
ernnaent refuses to take care of the
immediate needs Of the unemployed
The Roosevelt hunger government
will not aid the unemployed. The
right to live was forced from Hoover
by continuous struggles, demonstra-
tons and hunger marches. The fight
against the Roosevelt hunger gov
eminent, continuous struggle for
immediate relief and unemployment
insurance is the weapon TO gain the
needs OF the workers.

The situation in Allentown, and the
whole of Pennsylvania, and anywhere
else where there are these sweat
shops is based upon lack of relief.
It is this driving whip of starvation
that forces the children into the fac
tories at so early an age. And it is
this same whip which keeps them at
their job day in and day out, hour
upon hour, for the mere penny pit
tances, called wages.
What are the conditions in Allen
town. OF the total population, 92,563,
e i g hit thousand are unemployed,
which amounts to more than one
third of the working population. In
practically all of these instances
where the children are at work in
the vicious sweat shops, these chill
dren are the sole support of the fam
lily
In Allentown recently the milk re-
lief received a so per cent cut, and
on July LIST all the present relief in
the Pennsylvania area is to be cut off,
and no further plans for relief have
been issued by the state thus far.
Sweat ShOp-No Relief
1.-THE sweat shops better than no
industry at ALL" claim the local Of
ficials. When they work for two
and three dollars, and down, we don't
have to give them relief" And that
is the theory behind the local auth
critics, in giving aid to these sweat
shop keepers.
It was the local officials themselves
with the cooperation of the local
Power and Light Company who
brought the sweat shops into this area.
The Pennsylvania Power and Light
Company a nd tn Northampton
Chamber of Commerce themselves
brought the D and D sweat shop and
others into Northampton. The pow
er company has big industrial de-
partment," whose sole purpose is to
inform manufacturers of the advan-
tages of cheap labor in the Lehigh
Valley area, where so many thousands
cannot find jobs.
Most of the sweatshop owners also
have shops in New York, and Con-

Stage and Screen
Shame" at 5th Ave. Theatre

Shame" at 9Th Ace. Theatre
The motion picture Shame" pre-
sented at the 5th Avenue Theatre,
Broadway and 28th Street, offers a
glimpse into the life Of the typical
Soviet factory community, one of the
b;igades of the vast army, which in
shops and fields is fulfilling the Five
Year Plan and building Socialism in
the U.S.SR.
The story deals with the attempt
Of the workers of turbine factory
to fulfill their counter PLAN the
voluntary quota of achievement set
by the workers themselves beyond
the quota of the Five Year Plan.
The work Is hindered by q flaw in
the construction Of disc in the
turbine, flaw of which the bour-
geois engineer is aware, but for the
purpose of sabotage does not men
ton.
On the day of completion of the
turbine when everything and every
one is ready for celebration the en-
CINE does not work and the flag of
shame is hung above the machine.
Because the life of the factory is
the life of the workers the story
is vibrant and alive. There is an
undercurrent of the Youthful, Tgor-
Gus love Of the young engineer and
his wife The failures and victories
Of the factory are expressed in the
personal relationships of the work
crs.
An interesting contrast is achieved
between the vigorous work songs that
accompany the constructive work
and planning Of the workers, and
the decadent nostalgia songs TO
which the reactionary Professor
plans his counter revolutionary
schemes.
