Sands, Of unemployed workers
Throughout the country sends its
fraternal greetings to your conven-
ton and hopes that you will take steps
that will result in the greater and
more successful struggles of the I'M
employed against mass starvation,
for Immediate relief and for federal
unemployment insurance.
ROoseyeIt's Record
The letter reviews the two month
record Of Roosevelt. The attacks on
the employed and unemployed. The
deceptive and denlagogic manouvres
of the new DEAL administration. It
states that:
For every increase there are still
hundreds il not thousands of wage
cuts. At the same time the bosses
and the government are already cut
ting down relief on the pretense that
the need is not so great. This lie
must be exposed. The need is today
greater than ever.
Need Of Unity
ITO meet this situation we need the
greatest united mobilization Of en-
pi0yed and unemployed workers we
eyer had. The workers are clamoring

Committee Of the Unemployed Coun-
CHS is devoting its energies to forge

believe that all workers and all work.
ers organizations. especially all I'M
employed organizations can be united
on a common program of action not
withstanding certain differences on

the willingness and the readiness to
unite in struggle in defense Of the
immediate interests of the unem-

demands to develop united struggle

BY Minis Worker Correspondent
UNION TOWN, Pa.-Fiys hundred
siXty-five miners Of the Weirton Steel
owned Isabella Mine, Fayette County
are out in q militant 100 per cent
strike for 1917 scale, higher wages
and against the dead work system
which the company has been forcing
onto the starving Isabella miners
without a let-up. This mine is well
known for the unsafe conditions
which every day cripples the hard
driven workers. Some months ago
miner Of Denbo was killed by rock
in the mans way in this mine.

Proposals
With this idea the Unemployed
Councils make three suggestions: I.
That the Chicago conference go on
record favoring united front action;
2. That the conference approve united
front actions on local basis in locali-
ties, counties and states. These local
struggles can actually involve large
numbers of workers in the fight for
their immediate needs; 8. That the
executive committee to be elected at
your conference be instructed to enter
into negotiations with the National
Committee Unemployed Councils, and
other unemployed organizations to
formulate a general basis and pro-
gram for United Front Action"

STARVING MINER
Is REJECTED BY
BOSS HOSPITAL
Wages Docked for
Hospital Funds
By Mime Worker Correspondent

By a Mine Worker Correspondent
MIDDLESBORO, Ky.-In the Pre-
mier Mines conditions are bad. One
man worked there last month and
only made S13. His company expenses
was $3.50, which only left $3.50 to live
on.
Now this man is at the point of
death. There's nothing wrong, but he
is simply starving. The miners are
cut for hospital funds, but they re-
fuse to accept him in the hospital
where he has been paying.
At the local Red Cross here they
have cut some of the unemployed
with small families off their govern
ment flour Some complained about
this and asked Mrs. Williams, who
is in charge, why they were cut off,
while the coal operators could get
flour to run their mines on. She re-
piled if it had not been for the Red
Cross flour every mine in this Sec
ton would be shut down.
On the sack it says, not to be sold
but the Atlas Coal Co. here charges
SC and 10c for every sack
Now the unemployed are organizing
an Unemployed Council here and
have elected committees to work out
local demands to be presented to the
/. Red Cross and R.FC.

Further Drop in Living
Costs Forecast for 1888

per cent as compared with a drop
Of 23.2 per cent in the cost Of living
and a drop of ASS per cent in
wholesale prices. In other words
these three factors became stabilized
at the end of the depression with
the cost of living level halfway
between the wage level and the
wholesale price level.
From the standpoint Of wages,
therefore. it is apparent that the
cost of living must undergo further
deflation. There is evidence that
the wage level now is at the bot
tom and that wholesale prices will
reach the bottom at a level about
40 per cent below the 1929 peak.
With wages &c per cent below the
peak and wholesale prices 40 per
cent below the peak, the cost of
living should be SO per cent below
the peak, or Is per cent below the
present level
Such a reduction would mean a
decline in the cost of living index
from the December, 1882, figure of
1921 to 114.8. Stree the various
items which compose the cost of liv-
ing did not start the decline from
uniform level in 1929, and since
they did not decline uniformly, it
is evident that some items will de-
cline more than others. In the case
OF food, some recovery is in order"

STRONG BUYING
CARRIES WHEAT
OPTIONS HIGHER
Failure of Belt to Receive
Needed Rains Is
Factor.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, April 10. Wheat
opened strong on the Board of
Trade today, Is cent to y cent
higher Firmness in stocks and
steady cables gave the market a fair
send-off. Failure of soaking rains
to develop in the southwest over
the weekend was a factor.
Traders we're cautious, pending
release of the government report
Corn was easy, unchanged to Il cent
lower. Oats was unchanged to Il
cent higher, with rye strong at u
cent to q cent higher. Provisions
were steady.
The belief prevails in trading cir
cles that, while there are likelv to
be fluctuations from time to time
the trend Of the wheat market is
irregularly higher. Liverpool was
4 cent lower at mid afternoon as
expected.
Corn was bought steadily last
week on all recessions, and long
lines are said to be large. The
movement has been small.
Strength in other grains has at
tracted attention to oats. Cash
houses have been good BUYERS IN
the advance. -
