Dlckey county the opportunity OF
subscribing $1,000 to the fund,
stating that several counties and

The hitter subscribed $1,000 de-
spite the fact it will receive no

The LaMoure county ccmission-

to force the commissioners and the

Joe Hawkins d militant worker
from Milwaukee participated in a
committee which called at the out
door relief station on 18th hnd w.
Fond du Lac ave., to demand re-
lief for needy families. While Joe
hawkins generally made himself
useful in such cases, and was pre-
vlously successful in securing an
audience with relief officials. he
was this time met witr organized
opposition of the police. Fred
Burbank, father of 8 whose cast
wos to be taken up was attacked
within the relief station, there was
turmoil, crowds gathered and the
glass store front window at the
relief station was crashed from
the impact of the crowds outside.
HAWKINS REARRESTED
Five in all were arrested, of
which three were freed. Burback
and Hawkins were given 30 days
each in the House of Correction by
Judge Hedding in the District
Court, upon a chage of rioting.
Upon Hawkins release he was re-
arrested, this time to answer to a

tons concern themselves with the
immediate and unconditional re :
lease of Joe Hawkins. Failure to

Paris and London Bankers
Feel it Is Inevitable;

Bankers in both London anC
Paris are agreed TINT the next
step of the Roosevelt administra-
ton will be initiation. They fee
that Roosevelt will be driven to
this in order to keep the dlpital-
ist ship afloat.
From Paris the Nv York Times

Financial circles believe
that the United States govern
ment will pursue the initiation
airy program which has been
drawn I'D and thar in cOnse-
quence further decrease in the
dollar is possible"
The New York Times correspon-
dent in London reports a similar
attitude there.
EVERY STEP INFLATIONARY
There is no belief here in
an anti-inflatinary policy now
attributed to President ROOse-
welt. Virtually every step taken
and proposed is inflatiOnary,
whe her the effect is felt i'm
mediately or in the future.
Opinion here remains un-
changed that in the long run
the dollar virtually is certain
to fall again unless devalua-
ton and sterilization at a
new basis are very soon de-
cided on" which is practically
dhe same thing.
The Paris bankers say that the
National Recovery Act wall Gel
tainly MEM direct attacks on the
the living wages of the workers
on indirect attacks thru initiation.
ATTACKS ON WORKERS
LIVING STANDARDS
I'll is obvious that employers
would seek to alleviate the
burden laid upon them by the
wage increases and reduction
in working hours. Now it
appears that they can manage
it ONLY AT THE EXPENSE
OF THE WORKERS Unless
they are supported more large
ly by banks and the Recon-
struciOn Finance Corporation
in which case it would be pos
sible TO say the United States
is definitely entering the path
of monetary initiation" InfIa-
ton will lower the workerg
living standards by raising
the prices Of the goods they
have to buy and keeping their
wages down under fhe NRA.
Therefore, the STRIKES which
