MANY CHILDREN
VICTIMS Of
POOR DIET
SO Per Cent Suffer From
Anemia, Clinic Exami-
nations Show
BY International News Service

A study made by the Children's
Bureau Of the Labor Department
showed today that approximately
one-fifth of all children of pre-
school and school age are show
ing the effects Of poor nutrition,
inadequate housing and lack Of
medical care. The Bureau said:
"While the picture is far
from complete, the sum of the
evidence at hand points to the
fact that the nutritionaI con-
ditiOn of children in many COM
munitieS is showing increasingly
serious effects of the long
periods Of unemployment and
want"
Significant figures were quoted
from the New York City Health
Department where more than
100000 school children were ex-
amined during the six-year period
1927-32.
Many Underweight
During the first three years,
the percentage of malnutrition
was 13 per cent. In 1880 it
jumped to Is, in 1881 to II, and
in 1882 to 81 per cent.
From Detroit the health officer
reported that special survey last
fall in 18 selected schools showed
1S per cent of the children to be
malnourished.
Another Detroit report showed
that of a group of LAO school
children, II per cent were defl-
nitely malnourished and Z per cent
additional underweight for height.
68 Per Cent Anemic
OF those showing clinical evil
dence Of malnutrition, 68 per cent
were reported to be anemic.

WORRY ABOUT
AUGUST 10
Date of Effectiveness of Exec
utive Order Creating Much
Uncertainty in Spots

August 10 is a date fraught with
considerable misgivingS for some
Federal employees, particularly
those in the Bureaus Of Immiga-
tion, Naturalization, Internal Rev
enue and Industrial Alcohol, for
on that date President Roosevelt's s
executive order for Federal reor-
ganization goes into effect, and
the status of these bureaus is still
considerably in doubt.
immigration and Naturalization
will be combined, and Internal
Revenue and Industrial Alcohol
A ruling this week by Comptroller
General j. r. McCarl has cleared
the situation so far as the last
two are concerned, within certain
limitations.
All Down the Line
That ruling declared the bu-
reaus abolished, and the employees
separated from the service, but
held that the jobs under the bu.
reaus were not necessarily abol-
ished, but rather a matter of ad.
ministrative judgment.
The abolition Of Jobs extends
from the commissionership Of in
ternal revenue all the way down
the line, presidential appoint
ments not being excepted.
The jobs, so far as rank and
file are concerned, must be filled
according to civil service regula-
tions, inasmuch as the new bu-
reau succeeding the exist n 8
agencies Is not included among
the emergency organizations en-
powered to hire help without re-
gard to civil service or other laws.
Married Persons Out
This means that present en-
ployes must be reinstated, or that
new employees must be selected
from civil service lists. InaSmuch
as there would be small advan-
tage in the latter course, the
probabilities are that most of the
present employees will be renamed
if their services are considered
necessary in the new agency.
Persons affected by the married
persons clause have small chance
Of reinstatement, however, if any
reductions must be made, for they
will be the last to be taken back.

WINS
WAGE FIGHT

Upon the promise Of the
Catalano Construction Company
to pay carpenters 81 an hour and
bricklayers $3.50 as they con-
tracted to do, the District Com
missioners overlooked the less
than legal wage complaint which
had been lodged against the
company, which is building the
Phelps Vocational School, Twenty
fourth and H Streets Northeast.
The contractors agreed at a
conference with the Commission
ers yesterday to pay the carpenters
and bricklayers back, representing
the wage scale adopted by the
company and that set forth in
the contract under the Bacon
Davis Act.
The Commissioners action ran
directly counter to the conclu-
sions drawn in the report of
William w. Bride, corporation
counsel, who conducted hearings
on the wage complaint. Mr..
Bride reported:
Gas 1 view the present situa-
tiOn, the complaints made
against these contractors have
been amply Substantiated and
they stand convicted of know
ingly violating the provisions of
the BacOn-Davis Act, which is
quite as much a part Of the
contract as is the character of
material and workmanship 60
ing into the makeup Of the
building.
"TOO many contractors since
the act referred to has been in
effect, seem inclined to view
this law as an obligation which
they may disregard without
fear of the consequences, if
the number Of complaints Of
attempts to avoid this require
ment is a safe guide.
"And this leads to suggest to
the commissioners that perhaps
a different policy than the one
heretofore adhered to in dealing
with these cases might more eff.
fectively insure compliance with
the wage scale provisions Of
such contracts as contain them"

Ousted Civil Service Workers
Full Status Promised
BY Reinstatement

The status Of those employees
whose civil service status was
drastically changed during the
past week by President Roose-
velt's executive order affecting
$50 workers in the Bureau Of For
eign and Domestic Commerce,
who had been covered into the
civil service by President Hoover
Is by no means hopeless with re-
spect to Federal reemployment,
should they be replaced in their
present jobs.
At the Civil Service Commission
today it was learned that their
rights as Schedule B civil service
employees include the rights Of re-
instatement, transfer and retire.
ment, but that they will have no
right to list their names on the
commissions unemployment regis
ter.
In other words, the commission
will not take the initiative in
finding new jobs for them.
If they want to get back in the
Government service they will
have to find the jobs themselves,
but they will have the right OF
reinstatement.
That right persists in accord
ance with definite civil service
rules, and under certain condi-
tions may continue indefinitely
but as a practical matter at the
present time it is actually effec-
tive only for one year, following
which the unemployment registers
take precedence.

BLACK BILL FOUGHT BY PAINTERS
UNION; DEMANDS WAGE INCREASE
Hartman of U. S. Chamber of Commerce in
Agreement With Green and Vol for Bill

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 81
Resentment against the Black 30-hr.
bill which legali8es the stagger plan
and sweatshop wages was expressed
last night at a meeting of Painters
Local 400 when the Union went on
record demanding that the A. F. of
L. Immediately initiate struggle for
shorter hours and increased wages to
meet higher initiation prices and in
structing the District Council to take
similar action.
Hearings on the Black 30-hour bill
with amendments providing for the
establishment OF minimum wage
boards and for so-called controlled
production are now being held in
Washington before the House Labor
Committee.
William Green. president of the A.
#. OF L. speaking before the commit
tee yesterday endorsed the bill and
proposed some amendments. Among
the most important of these to the
working class is an amendment that
workers should not be denied the
right to belong to bona fide labor
organizations and to the exercise of
collective bargaining. Green hopes
by this means to wedge into the bill
a provision to outlaw all working
class organizations which do not
have the official approval Of the
strike-breaking leadership Of the A.
F. of L.
Green deplored the fact that the
spread the work" movement, as a
voluntary scheme attempted by sew
eral employers has been a failure and
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-04-28

urged the adoption of the 30-hour bill
to make this plan nation wide. He
stated over million workers would
be put to work although even employ
ers generally admit that the e-hour
day will not increase employment
materially in tie face Of declining
production and speed-up methods to
force the workers to produce the
same amount In a shorter period.
Green also urged all amendment
to bar foreign goods unless produced
under similar conditions. This
amendment is In the interests Of the
American industrialists who want to
raise higher tariff barriers.
Hartman Joins With Green.
II. 1. Hartman, President of the
u. s. Chamber of Commerce, agreed
with Green and Vol in favoring
the 3O-hour week provisions in the
bill but opposed the plan for govern
ment control.
In a speech before the committee
today Vol opposed the amended
Black bill ON the grounds that 1t was
a step toward socialiSing industry and
a danger to the interests of the en-
ployers.
He declared the bill would deny
the workers the right to strike. The
championship Of VOL of the right to
strike can only be looked upon as
another demagogic maneuver since
VOL has been VIGOROUSLY &C
tive agent Of the bosses in breaking
strikes and in preventing struggle
by the most treacherous class COLA
boratien policies.

B. correction and the facts as de-
termined by our reporter yesterday
There is a committee Of six, two

is not a strike at present but the
committee has sent its demands to

agency and many tenants are with
holding their weekly payments.
Outrageous Rents
The demands are for monthly
instead Of weekly rent payments and
reduction Of the monthly rate.
Rents are around s465 at present for
two rooms, $3.50 for three rooms and
over $3.50 for four rooms per week.
Repairs have not been made In many
cases and the tenants are demand
ing immediate repairs.
''ModeI Apartments"
The apartments, which are called
model apartments FOR respectable
colored families" have no electricity
or baths. There are common baths
in the hall. The tenants must pay
for the installation OF a gas stove and
are charged 15c to zoe weekly for this
as long as they live there. The COM
mittee demands improved conditions
in the apartments.
After denying the rights Of the
tenants to any consideration for pay
ing such outrageous rates, the letter
states that in individual cases, the
owner would be willing to rent them
apartments in his 62nd st. apart
ments which adjourn the 63rd ST.,
building and have similar conditions.
The committee in a reply, giving the
owner days TO answer points out
that II these same apartments have
lower rates, how can the owner Justify
the 63rd st. rates. If the company
doesn't reply, a meeting Will be called
to decide on further steps.

similar cases of this kind have been
repeatedly buried by the officials, the
membership decided to make photo
stated copies of the affidsYits pre-
scented by the workers and to carry
on a struggle 10 expose the vicious
practices of protecting the bosses In
their policy OF fleeeing the workers.
Attempts at bribery and threats OF
violence against the workers who are
exposing the facketering have already
been made. The local union men,
bership voted to notify Slote that he
will be held responsible for any in
jury to these or other members of the
local. The rank and file opposition is
rallying the membership to a sharp
fight against the bosses and the
racketeering officials. They are con-
solidating their strength to organize
strikes on the job to maintain the
existing union wage scale.
