Workers Needing
Aid Increase to
Nearly. 1,OOOaDay

NEW YORK.-Although newspap-
ers are busy shouting Roosevelt'S
praises of turn to prosperity" the
Welfare Council of New York City
in its latest release states: ION the
contrary, both the numbers of fami-
lies assisted and the amount spent
for relief were greater in June than
in May, according to an analysis Of
the expenditures for relief made by
the Research Bureau of the welfare
Council"
Pointing to the fact that requests
for aid are increasing rather than
decreasing" the report indicates that
the daily average number of new ap-
plications received by the City Home
Relief Bureau has increased from 881
in June to 943 in july"
William Hodson, executive director
of the Welfare Council finds the
usual stock in trade excuse, that we
may witness in the months imme-
diately ahead the apparent paradox
of definitely improving business con-
ditions and at the same time little If
any decrease in the total number of
families requiring outside assistance
for food, shelter, and other necessi-
ties

C.CC. REPLACES
LOCAL WORKERS
Forced Labor at 15c.
Used to Hit Workers

NEW YORK.-Young workers in
Camp Durn, near Bountiful, Utah, are
working on the roads at cost to the
government of less than 15c an hour,
doing work that local unemployed
could do at SOC an hour, reports a
recruit who quit the camp because
of dissatisfaction with the conditions.
Great dissatisfaction has b. re n
aroused among the local workers by
this practice of the New Deal" of
importing forced labor at starvation
wages to compete with local workers.
This young worker told Of meeting
about so other youths from other for
est camps in four western states on
the train that brought him east. They
all had the same story of working at
a ruinous wage scale on projects that
should have employed home labor.
Twenty workers have already left
from this one camp because of COM
plants about the hard work and the
rotten food. Most of the boys in this
camp are from New York and vicin-
ity.
The boys work seven hours day
on a diet of sour milk, coffee with
out sugar, half -cooked potatoes, corn
ed-beef hash and prunes.
Grumbling and complaints over the
work and the food are growing among
the boys.

The trio came here two months
ago from Harrisonburg, Va. Almost
penniless, Kinkaid thought that
surely he'd find a butcher shop in
town that would have a job for him.
They brought their home along with
them-a low wooden room, built on
the body Of light motor truck. Ar
irving, they obtained permission to
park on the side lawn at the home
of Ed Thompson, near Rosslyn, Va.
Daily, Kinkaid, tramped into town
Some days he walked 20 miles, look
ing for work But he couldn't find it,
And daily the couples small store of
money dwindled.
The baby got his milk but last
week, Mrs. Kinkaid, wasting away
under the strain, collapsed and had
to be taken to the Gallinger Mu-
nicipaI Hospital where they said
most Of her trouble was malnutri-
ton.
Still, they discharged her after
a couple of days and, with a small
donation from a social worker, the
pair again took up the fight.
But Saturday night, she became
i'll again. Moaning, she was taken
to the hospital where the social
worker secured bed for her thru
a connection.

STAGE AND SCREEN
NEW FILM AT RIVOLI IS BANAL
ATTEMPT TO GLORIFY NEW DEAL

BILE for the picture to understand the
world they attempted to describe
during the past Is years or more.
Flag-pole sitters, English channel
swimmers, pie-eaters, few air
flights and frenzied scenes in the
stocs market were elaborated, but
the great underlying social move
ment, the accumulation of the ele-
ments Of catastrophe, the decay Of
capitalism and the decadence of it's
ruling class and its imitators en-
tirely escaped the editor. OF course,
II the authors dealt with such facts
they would not be able to draw the
conclusion of peaceful capitalist
way out of the crisis.
In the light of the stock crash at
the close of last week, the conclu-
sion drawn by the picture that
Roosevelt had led the nation for
ward on the path of Economic re-
covery" seemed almost grotesque.
The picture is utterly worthless
and exceedingly boring except for
the fact that 1t reveals the shabby
material available for those whose
pltry jobs 1t is to help forward the
Roosevelt "ba.lyhoo' to cover up the
vicious attacks being made upon the
toiling masses

be heard at the meeting, called by
the Committee to force the School
Board to rescind its economy pro-
gram, he was forcibly carried from
the platform by police, and taken to
the lobby where the beating took
place. Workers who witnessed the
attack were indignant. Many others,
however, were unaware of what was
happening.
Superintendent Of Schools Began,
given permission to speak offered
substitute plan proposing that pub
lie volunteers stand on street corners
with tin boxes to collect money for

Committee was forced by the as
semblage to reject this plan.
The topic of cuts in teachers pay
was sidetracked under the plea of
Save American Civilization"
John Fitzpatrick, of the local A. F.
of L., was roundly booed when he
praised the police handling of the
teachers demonstration.
Lockner and other workers came to
this meeting after the Unemployed
Councils had been especially invited
by the Save Our School Committee
to take part. The Committee, COM
posed Of teachers who opposed the
program of the School Board in
abolishing junior high school, athletic

JURY DISAGREES
In TRIAL OF G

LON ANGELES, July 29.-After de-
iberating 80 hours, a deadlocked jury
failed to agree on a verdict in the
case of the six workers on trial here
for one month because of May Day
demonstrations. The jury was dis
charged and five Of the defendants
ordered to report August 14th at
which time a retrial will be ordered
or the charges dismissed. Those on
Trial were Lawrence Ross, Sam Davis,
Mack Shone, Louis Fisher, Daniel
Seigal and Paul Stern. The bail on
Davis was ordered exonerated and
his case taken off the calendar.
The trial was political throughout,
as was evidenced by the division of
the jurors, six to six, in the case Of
Lawrence Ross, former Communist
candidate for mayor, who conducted
his own defense and who spoke on
the history and significance of May
Day and on the Communist election
campaign platform in his address to
the jury. During the deliberations, it
was revealed later, one juror proposed
acquitting all the other defendants if
they agreed to convict Ross. After
the jury was discharged, Judge Irwin
Taplin called them into his cham
bers and asked how it was they could
not agree on Ross.
One of the jurors has asked that
Communist literature be mailed to
her, and six of them are contemplate
ing writing a letter to Mayor Shaw
demanding the removal of the red
squad.
A. L. Wirin and Andrew M. Strong,

Defense, conducted the defense of the
