WORK RELIEF
GROUP MEETS

Plans for providing work relief
IN Imperial county under the fed
eral emergency relief administra-
ton, were discussed at a meeting OF
the Imperial county commission
held last night in the court house,
With DR.. N. E. Dupont of this
city, chairman, presiding other
commissioners present were Mrs
H. V. Gray. Imperial; Ray Swan
son, Brawley: F. T. Cook, West
morland; Mrs. r. Wilkinson. Cali
patria; Herbert w. Going, CaleXico
and Mark McClelland, Holtville.
Harold Loundsbury, FL Centre. is
secretary director.
Commissioners are appointed by
work relief for the state, appoint
ments being confirmed by the gov
ernor.
Under the federal regulations
which viii govern the commission
labor is paid at the rate of 30
cents an hour or S2.40 for an eight
hour day, compared with 81 per
dt1N OOoC4ACo
county relief. Labor is limited TO
35 hours a week or $50 hours a
month. Number of days labor per-
united is based on the number of
dependents in each individual case.
Last nights meeting discussed
plans for valley wide relief COM
mittee. based on the set-up OF the
Of nit ml
Grated in FL Centre for the past
two years. Under this plan each
town would care for its own re-
lief, but the work would be direct
ed through a central organization.
''The function OF the commits
sion," DR.. Dupont explained to-
day, rs concerned primarily with
providing work relief for county
residents. 1t does not embrace re-
lief work of all kinds, the usual
organizations handling general re-
lief work will continue TO do so.
The commission, with the assist
ance of the board of supervisors.
with whom it will maintain close
cooperation, will try to provide
work for as many needy men and
women as possible. Federal funds
are provided for this purpose. Our
work will be to supplement the ac-
tual relief work of the various Or
ganizations in the valley COM
munities.
THE commissioners are appoint
ed to serve one year. without sal
airy. The set-up under the federal
emergency relief administration
calls for a two year relief program"

Horse KnouUn As
Friend OF Birds

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 9. U.P) -
To casual observer, "Scotty"
might appear to be just another
horse-and a rather old and de-
crepit one, too.
But Scotty's owner, Charlie
Thomas, and others who know him,
say he is horse OF Super-intelli-
gence. OF his own accord Scotty
does what naturaliSts and bird
lovers all over the country have
been urging farmers to do he
watches over the birds Of the field.
In all his nine years of blowing
experience, Scotty never has step
ped on a birds nest, or harmed
young birds. When he comes to
a nest in furrow, Scotty stops
short, and his driver can't bulge
him.
He looks at the ground, then at

How Communists Party

/ the same yard-stick to New YORK
where the number Of Negroes en-

the percentage, so Of the total NUM-

In general, to speak Of percentages
is misleading, because even the high
est records made, 1871 in Chicago end
20%5 in Cleveland, do not present q
real picture, because of the impermis
sihly low figure of total recruiting
The average percentage Of Negroes
recruited in the five concentration
districts, during the last five or six
weeks Is approximately 1877. Al
though this is a slight improvement
over previous figures, the percentage
is still much too low.
But only 1919 of all the Negroes
recruited during this time are from
the basic industries. This signali3eS

Withdraw Receiver
From Coop Bldg.
Insurance Firm Forced
to Deal With Tenant
Committee

NEW YORK.-Refusal by one thou
sand families living at the Coopera-
tive Colony, 2700 and $500 Bronx Park
East, to deal with the receiver sent
by the State Insurance Company on
Nov. IL, to take charge of the build
ing, resulted this week in the COM
pany withdrawing the receiver.
The tenants organized their own
committee, which received the rent
and took care of the building.
The organized struggle by the ten
ants to retain the buildings built with
their money has further resulted in
final negotiations between the COM
mittee and the insurance company,
which in the next 30 or 60 days will
settle the question of interest on the
mortgage held by the insurance firm.
The City Office of the Daily
Worker regrets very much the dis
appointment caused by the failure
Of the artists to appear at some Of
the affairs arranged by the units
and mass organizations. The critic
ism of the unit buro Is justified, and
we hope that there will not be re-
currence In the future. In most
cases the artists had accepted the
dates and did not let us know of any
contemplated changes. This made II
impossible for us to make other ar
rangements for the events of the
affair.
Most Of the artists volunteer their
services, and due to the many en-
gagements they do attend to, It
would not be fair to criticize them
too severely. The City Office will try
TO convince them to take these dates
moro seriously. 1t Is probable that
the strain we were working under
during the last weeks Of the Daily"
drive, was the cause of some Of these
happenings. In the future, we will
arrange for less numbers, and be
guaranteed Of more appearance.
