Andalusia, Alabama-A city or

Andalusia, all rights to meet, to

has just been passed by the Anda-

under the leadership of the Ala
bamh Farmers Committee of Ac-
ton before the Covington County
Courthouse in this city to protest
the stopping of relief by the R. F.
c. and the stopping of flour by the
Red Cross. By their united action
they forced the Red Cross to open
its relief stations at once and to
distribute hundreds of bags of
flour. The attempt of the Red
Cross officials on this occasion to
set white and Negro ag1inst each

demand of he workers that all be
served without determination.

WORKING PEOPLE OF

OF RISE IN DISEASE

A number of public health au-
thorties have recently made an
nouncemehts in the newspapers
concerning the Beneficial" effects
of the depression on health. The
unemployed themselves know that
this position is ridiculous and they
are supported in this by the honest
doctor and dentist who feel the de-

This is further strengthened by
the statement of the Metropolitan

Their stories which were given
to me separately by the New York

main. They said their breakfast
consisted of poorly cooked pota-
toes and the latest, cheapest va
rfety of bacon and sometimes oat-
meal that had evidently been aged
IN the bag. They also were fed
on hamburger steak that "stank"
as they put it. They claimed that
there were no regular cooks at the
camps.
Another thing that made them
angry was the failure % provide a
real doctor. They claimed that
the o7lv remedies used for their
ills were &C pills. aspirin and
iodine. These rernediAs we've sun
posed to cure all ills to which men
are heir.
