interference with private initiative may
even suffer an abrupt halt. Recent ex-
perience has caused many an executive
to wish that there had been more such
interference, and to see that a require
sity would have protected him and his
undertaking from disaster. Several
basic industries are now seeking public
regulation, simply because unrestrained
competition is the death of profits.
They envy the relative stability of pub
lie utilities"
The stability Of public utilities, as
represented by the power industry, is
indicated in many items on the balance
sheet. Since 1929 capital investment
has increased by $1,500, 100000, the Ca
pacity of generating plants by more
than 100000 horsepower, the lines of
transmission systems by more than
$4,000 miles, the number of consumers
or purchasers of electricity by nearly
100000. Domestic demand for electricity
has increased, but purchases by fac
tories, mills, railroads and other large
commercial customers have fallen off.
In consequence, total sales are about Is
per cent under 1925 figures, and reve-
nues therefrom show decline of about
per cent. Employment in the power
industry, always small in proportion to
investment and output, has slumped
about 10 per cent Such changes, how
ever, are slight when compared with
the drastic declines in employment,
sales and revenues of other basic in
dustries
Perhaps the most encouraging item
in recent power history is the increased
demand of the American home for elec-
tricity. During these depression years
domestic purchases of energy increased
hours home in 1929 to 612 in 1892.

the opening hearings Of Mayor

Untermeyer proposes that the

for every taxi ride. He also proposes

1t is obvious that the City budget

that the Tammany administration is

who clutter up the city payroll.
A recent estimate made showed
that $170,0o0,000 could be Immediately

CLEVELAND, o., May 31.-Two
colorful parades one from the east
side and the other west side merged
in Public Square at the National
Youth Day demonstration. Two hun
dred young Negro and white workers
from Akron joined the east side sec
ton. Three thousand workers par
ticipated in the meeting on the

Following the speakers a parade
started from Public Square on Eu-

in the line of march, thousand of
them youth and children.
When the American Legion parade
arrived at in the afternoon, they
found Public Square deserted as the
large crowd had joined the youth

The members of the Young Peoples

was done against the orders of the

Forced Labor Camps

GTON.-Veterans forced
by hunger to accept the Roosevelt
offer" of work in the reforestation
forced labor camps at 81 per day,
are not making such good timber
soldiers" as the rejected men, return
ing from camp, indicate. Upon phys
ical examination, many of the men
are found to be unfit, physically, for
the rigors of forest camp life. In
view of the fact that one of the
inducements held out to the veterans
assembled here in convention last
week was the opportunity to regain
health broken by privation and the
experiences of war" these revelations
are of startling interest to those vets
who contemplated accepting the la
Dor camp jobs.
1t is evident that the cast-of can
non fodder. against whom Roosevelt
has levelled one of the most vicious
attacks made on any one strata of
American people, are of little use
to the Morgan Roosevelt swindlers.
Broken in health, facing starvation
they are even rejected from the re-
forestation camps.

surance program"
Every workers organization in the
city has been invited to the June 3
conference, number hailed 1t when
it was first announced.
The interview with the Tammany
officials was opened by Winters who
facing OBrien told of the vacant
apartments while unemployed have
no shelter. He said THE city re-
fuses to pay rent, city court issues

out, city police assist" He told of
the police terror at the bureaus, the
arrests and beating of workers who
demand relief and the discrimination
against Negroes and foreign born.
Attempts of O'Brien and Taylor to
take isolated cases among the deleg-
ates as merely exceptional cases of
the miscarriage of Justice" were
spiked by Winters who said we came
to protest not against the exceptions
but the rule, this is not q matter of
an individual case, but a deliberate
system of wholesale starvation"
O'Brien pleaded poverty of the city.
But Winter exposed this when he
later pointed out that the city paid

loaned back $4,000 900 at increased
interest.
When OBrien said that he was
only Mayor, that he couldn't do any
thing, he was told that CAS- Chief
Magistrate of the City you have the
power to order the magistrates to
dismiss all dispossess notices and the
cases of all arrested workers demand

family was starving. O'Brien looked

Porta Rican worker from Harlem told
OF his family eating unlocked canned
goods because he had no gas.

They are to receive 40 per cent

is high and even the capitalist press
had to admit it.
Many of the men said that they
would turn their families over to the
welfare and march to Washington.
Already because of their protests,
eighteen of the petty officers have
been reduced in ranks.

ing.
The men were given five minutes
to decide" between taking the cuts
or being discharged from the service.
Twenty-Five per cent Of the men have
stated they will quit if the cut is put
into effect
AS against economizing on their
pay, the men demand that annual
target practice be eliminated, saving
thousands in that sphere alone and
not taking bread from their tables.
Food allowances have been cut from
81 to 33c a day.
In answer to a greeting ITS nice
day." a sentry replied: Yeah, if you
can enjoy it." There is a sentiment
for a march on the capitol among
the men, and this may materialize.

recognizing that it is only another
scheme to force them back into the
mills to work under the latest COM
pany Speed-up scheme.
Over thousand strikers met last
Sunday evening at the North st. Rink
and decided to organize a mass picket
line, Monday morning, to prevent any
drift back to work The rank and
file strike leaders pointed out that
the bosses hope to destroy the soil
darity of the strikers and break the
strike and that unity is therefore the
vital issue if the strikers are to win
their demands.
The strike committee was enlarged
to include representatives from all
departments and now numbers SO
members.
Strikers Send Demands to Company
A motion was adopted to send the
following letter to the management:
Our strike committee composed of
representatives from all departments
stands ready to meet with you at any
time to negotiate on the following de-
nlands:
l. No increase in work in any de-
parnent, no research.
O. Seniority rights to be maintain
ed for all workers.

mittee representative to take up all
grievances at all times. We do not
demand the impossible. We are not
unreasonable. We have cooperated
with the mill management to such an
extent that we are constantly the suf-
ferers. 1t is impossible for us to do
more!
Mayor Bates is again active in the
situation here. He met with the strike
committee last Saturday and tried to
convince the strikers that it is i'm
peratiye for Mcmahon to be present
at the conference where the strike
committee negotiates with the mill
management. The Mayor is carefully
laying the ground for a scheme to
trick the workers into accepting com
pany proposals of more speed-up.
Pickets Prevent Scabbery
A mass picket line gathered in front
of the mill yesterday and prevented
one scab from entering. Although
the company has not recruited any
scabS they ale experimenting on a 80
loom system using the straw bosses
and the office girls each running 80
looms with an efficiency expert timing
them. AT the same time the company
is spreading the rumor that if these
three can run 80 looms each, regular
weavers surely should be able to run
"a looms.
When the picketers stopped girl
scab, Alice Mysliwy, the gate watch
man assaulted two of the girl strikers
with blackjack. The strikers re-
taliated and drove him back inside
the gates Later the house in which
the girl scab lives was stoned.
The strikers are firm in their in
tention to keep the mill closed until
their demands are granted,
The National Textile Workers I'm
ion today issued q statement to the
strikers answering the red scare"
propaganda and expressing the need
for unity of all strikers to win their
strike The statement calls upon the
strikers to keep control of the strike
in their own hands and not permit

into accepting the company proposals.
