GRANT URGES PLAN
FOR D. c. JOBLESS
Suggest Unemployed Pay for
Spare Land by Feeding
Other Unfortunates.

A suggestion that the Districts un-
employed pay for the use of spare
land. turned over for raising food, by
contributing their surplus to help out
otner poor people was made today by
Lieut.. Col. u. s. Grant, Sd, director OF
public buildings and public parks.
A movement Is afo0t here to permit
the unemployed to utilize waste land
for gardens, in various sections Of the
city. Col. Grant believes that when
plans are perfected, some ground In
Fort dupont may be made available
FOR gardens for the unemployed. This
year again, interested citizens will have
their public gardens In Anacostia Park,
near Benning road, on the fats. The
colonel says that apart from the Ana
costa tract and that in Fort Dupont,
there Is no suitable land available in
the park system for gardens for the
unemployed.
Plans are being drawn I'D 20 that
committees in each community would
supervise gardens for the unemployed
In their own sections The colonel
thinks that the surplus crops raised
in these areas could be utilized to help
out other poor people. He believes that
1t would be . mistake to sell this
produce. as It would be competing with
grocers on an unfair basis. inasmuch
as the unemployed would get the land
and seed without cost. The exercise
gotten out Of this activity would be
beneficial. as well as keeping the per-
sons engaged in this work occupied,
Col. Grant holds. A central agency
would supervise distribution Of the
surplus.

Hillman, his ear to the ground, rec
ognized that he must play to the left
sentiment of the membership to
establish his power He was so left
in words in the early period that the
Hebrew Trades, a Socialist controlled
group, expelled the tailors, and Abe
Cahan, editor of the Forward, had
to be convinced by lot of maneu-
vering behind closed doors to ap-
pear at conventions of the union. 1t
was widely advertised that the union
was to be organized along industrial
lines on a shop basis, with policy
of struggle, and was to oppose the
narrow craft ideas spread by the
A. F. of l..
sions even up to 1921, when he capt.
talized the sentiment Of the workers
for the Russian revolution. He
formed the Russian American Indus
trial Corporation. which he used to
smother growing revolt among the
members. This opposition was CEN
tered principally against the intro
duction Of Standards Of production"
another term for speed-up and eff
cheney methods and against piece
work imposed under the guise of
industrial democracy" The Anal
gamated Bank was formed to help
workers transmit funds to Russia,
while at the same time Hillman adj
vocated labor banking as an aid to
struggle.
1t was at this time also that the
biggest opposition movement in the
unions history was developing among
the unions members.
