have pleasing personality" The
new employees are addressed by S.
Klein in person, who tells them that
they are working for the best store
in the world, and for the most kind
hearted employer. If they work hard,
Klein tells the new girls, they will
be advanced in salary and position.
At the time he is telling them this,
he is planning to fire most of them
as soon as they are exhausted by his
speed-up system.
And Be Stool Pigeon
The new Klein employee must sign
papers which promise to report any
other employee who does anything
whatever irregular, even talking. The
new girls are also given the third
degree, and all information about
their lives is recorded in the Klein
files,
Klein employs an enormous staff
CT male and female detectives. and
these detectives must produce results
or get fired. They catch" an aver
age OF four girls day on one charge
Or another, and are then given the
third degree in a private room called
the crying room" Those that are
not turned over to the police are ter
rorized by being made to sign legal
looking documents.
No Limit To Speed Up
Speed-up at Kleins gets worse and
worse. Although there is 8, rule that
only few dresses may be carried
from the stock room at one time, the
girls must carry 40 and so to keep
with their work. The work of stoop-
ing and picking up the dresses 10
hours q day is work that would make
truck drive tired. The depart
ment heads and other superiors are
driven by the upper bureaucracy at
Klein'S to drive the girls. and this
they do in brutal, coarse language
ard manner.
The fact that Kleins is still housed
in a rat-trap of a building, which
Klein does not repair in order to save
himself nonev, accounts for the ire
nendoUs heat in the summer, and
the cases Of heat exhaustion which
are 50 numerous that a special nurse
is hired for the purpose of taking
care of the girls. No employee, how
ever, is allowed to go home unless
she shows definite signs of fever.
Then she is allowed" to go home,
without pay. And this is happening

that he is making more women hap

OPEN HEARING
OF CITY AID
IS DEMANDED
Council Scores N ew
Tiger Grew; Makes
Jobless Demands

NEW YORK, March 30.-At the
meeting of the new Emergency Work
and Relief Administration in Com
missioner Taylor's Office, yesterday,
Carl Winter, Secretary of the IN
employed Council Of Greater New
York, protested Star Chamber Pro
ceedings" and insisted that public
hearing on relief administration be
called at City Hall.
Accompanying the Unemployed
Council representatives was a group
OF discharged Emergency Work Blu
reau employees for whom the Coun-
Gil asked immediate e-inStatement
or relief equivalent to former earn
ings without delay or re-investiga-
ton. This group had formerly been
excluded from the Conference Room
by Mr.. Stern. attorney, who had
placed himself at the head of a de-
legation to protest Emergency Work
Bureau diSmissals.
A change from the present voucher
system to cash relief, the raising of
relief levels to $40 a week for couples
and SO additional for each depend
ent was demanded by the Unem-
ployed Council. The re-opening of
the original 79 Home Relief Bureau
Offices was also called for on the
grounds of increasing need, growing
registration. and the inability for the
unemployed to pay carfare to the is
olated Bureau office in the present
locations.
Commissioner Taylor bristled and
protested, 81 don't like that word"
when Winter charged discrimination
against Negroes and foreign born
applicants. When challenged for
proof, Winter pointed out that In
the Harlem Relief Bureau the vast
majority Of applicants for work re-
lief are Negroes, while the majority
Of jobs are given to whites.
With regard to foreign born, he
challenged Commissioner Taylor to
explain why relief questionnaires ask
whether the applicant is a citizen or
foreign born.
Protest was also lodged against the
discharge of civil service employees
whose jobs are then turned over to
unemployed on work relief at much
lower pay. Prevailing rates of pay
were demanded for all relief work.
The Council demanded the stopping
of evictions of the unemployed and
foreclosures on their homes as well
as full relief to all single people in
their homes rather than in institu-
tons or camps.
The Council announced its inten-
ton Of pressing for an immediate
public hearing at City Hall in order
TO bring out revelations of malad-
ministration and inadequate care of
the unemployed.

Article IA, Sections lit and 1le. of

case be pauperized :"
Yet in a hearing held on the pre-
vious Wednesday by the rank and
file veterans in behalf OF thousands
of destitute fellow ex-servicemen. it
was disclosed by testimony given by
veterans and their wives that repeat
ed demands by starving ex-service-
men and their families had been ig-
nored by the Tammany government.
A Miss Dananer, former investiga-
tor for the Department Of Public
Welfare, fired for her refusal to take
part in wholesale robbery of veter-
ans funds, presented specific charges
against Commissioner Taylor and
the Home Relief Bureau.

THE same morning, precisely at ten
l o'clock. fat little man with a
back briefcase under his ann, knock
ed at the door on the fourth floor
Of number three. There was no an
swering sound. He knocked again,
harder and louder.
On the opposite side Of the land
ing the door opened an inch or two,
and through the crack an old wo-
man eyed suspiciously the man with
the briefcase.
What do you want with them. p
The little man turned round.
Gould you tell me whether Mrs.

The old woman looked the man
silently up and down, then shut the
door with an angry bang. He gave

He turned once more to the closed
door on the other side OF the dark,

In the dwelling behind the door a

in surly tone and went downstairs
again. Presently the fat man heard
him running across the yard.
The fat man became more and
more uncomfortable. II he could only
get into the room without using
forcei 1t seemed 50 dangerous to
break the door. Good God one was
only an official and had to do what
che was told! Cropping in the brief
case his hand came on the packet
containing his breakfast, which was
always carefully wrapped up for him
by his wife so that it should not
make his papers greasy.
He spoke cautiously through the
kevhole. Now, Mrs. Kruger, open
the door, I will see what can be

without his having heard step,
TIE door was suddenly thrown open
SO violently that he jumped back
from his bent poisson in terror.

of here. ... Call the police If you
want to!"

stood a young woman carrying &
crying child wrapped in a torn
brown cloth. In her fear she shrek
ed in such a penetrating voice that
it could be heard right across the
yard.
Well I know her type all right, !"
reflected the fat man. When he saw
that the woman was all alone in the
house, he soon recovered his COM
posture. Hastily he put his foot be-
tween the door and the wall and
with his massive bulk he pushed the
little pale woman aside.
Mrs. Kruger, I must point oHt
that you must not render yourself
guilty Of resistance to the State au-
tilority." In spite of the fact that
the woman was almost out Of her
senses from anxiety and excitement
and did not take in word he was
saying, he recited his oficial for
rula: Since in spite Of repeated
demands you have not paid the ar
rears of rent due from you, to the
amount of Al marks, and since the
Poor Law once refuses to pay the
rent in addition to the current week
ly relief of marks allowed to you,
you have been directed to evacuate
this dwelling by 10 am. this morning,
Since you have not acceded to this
demand, 1t is my duty to carry out
the eviction order against you. Put
your things together Immediately.
There is a cart belcv to take your
furniture to the Workhouse I have
not rnuch time"
He turned round without paying
further attention to the woman and
kicked back the door of the only
room the dwelling boosted. There
was not much to be cleared outl 1t
Is remarkable, reflected the fat man
IS he locked round at the bare room,
that these houses look fairly respect
able from the outside. One would
never imagine that there could be
such misery here. These people
haven't even got bed Only chill

A low moaning aroused his atten-

die Of the floor lay little fair haired
