Seamen's Institute
Tricks JObless Off
Relief by Fake Job

PHILADELPHIA. - The Seamen's
Church Institute works a racket here
where seamen are thrown off relief
under the r~etext of sending them
out on "jobs."
Eight men were recently called to
take a standby job on the S. S. Ore
tania. The Institute always picks
for these jobs men who a-e on relief.
The men work 10 hours on empty
stomachs for 80 cents an hour, with
the boss speeding them all the time.
The work finished, the men return
to the Institute to get relief and rest,
where they are notified they're off
relief since they have a job. Back
the men return to the ship and they
are told they would have to wait a
couple Of days for their money.

Good Work, Says
Governor Rolnh,
Praising Lynchers

SACRAMENTO, Nov 27.-"They
did a good iob.' sold -
Rolph of California as he reviewed
the brutal lynching of two accused
kidnappers who were lynched by a
mob last night.
The two men who were murdered
were accused Of kidnaping and kill
ing Brooke Hart son of a millionaire
merchant. The prisoners. Thomas H.
Thurmond and John M. Holmes,
were dragged from the jail by less
than hundred men. It took but
a few minutes to brush past the so
armed guards, who laid aside thei"
guns as the mob approached, seized
the keys and opened the cells. The
prisoners were beaten and kicked,
pulled outside and strung up from a
tree. Then their bodies were satu-
rated with gasoline and burned,
while hysterical men, women and
children looked on.
II don't think anyone will be ar
rested, but if they are I'll pardon
them,'' said Governor Rolph, citing
the lynclling as fine lesson to the
nation.
Refused to Send Troops
Local officials had requested troops
TO defend the prisoners. Rolph re-
fused to send any. He had planned
to leave for Idaho last night, but
decided to stay in Sacramento to
make sure that no troops were sent.
II didn't dare to leave the state
because someone might have called
out the troops" he said. Gas it was,

ception OF the two men hanged.

President Roosevelt demanding "the

S"before December Is"
Despite the fact that officials
at the State Office had two weeks to
prepare for such an emergency, many
workers who had waited throughout
the night were told that they must
come again later and were not even
registered because facilities were not
adequate" for handling such crowd.
Assembled Night Before
AT the Manhattan office on 18th
st. the crowd had begun to assemble
before 10 pm. the previous night. At
am. the line was already a block
long.
When the office opened at am.
many Of the workers after waiting
all night we're told that new offices
had been opened in the various Dor
oughs today and that they must again
apply for registration.
From 10000 to 10000 of those
now on city relief Will be transferred
to civil works jobs, the Manhattan
office announced. BY this means
many now receiving relief win be cut
off and given temporary Jobs at
forced labor under non-union con
ditions.
Faints from Hunger
Emil, Jacono, an unemployed work
er, after standing in line for several
hours, collapsed from hunger and
cold He told the Daily Worker that
he had been cut Of work for two years
and that his wife and two-months-
old child were at home hungry. When
questioned at his home, his wife said
that she had several times applied
for home relief. Having been preg-
nant az the time she said that she
could not continue TO apply at the
Home Relief Bureau and be sent
from one to the other Of the city
bureaus.
At the State Temporary Emergency
Relief Administration offices at 124
East 25th ST., it was admitted that
no new projects were under way to
provide Jobs for all those registered,
and in no case would those registered
be provided work before Dec. Is.
When questioned by Daily Worker
reporter, Mr.. Norris, in charge Of
publicity for the bureau said that
work contemplated would be in the
nature of sewer construction and land
improvement" All proposed work.

ing Of the New York City Board Of

since the Federal fund allows money
only for wages.
These 20,0eG workers who assem-
bled at the five registration bureaus
were not only given no jobs, but they
were not even given promises Of jobs
that will definitely mature. Roose-
yelt's demagogic promises that these
men would be given jobs in Novem-
Der have been flasrantly broken.
The jobless were given only another
vague promise that thHv may be
