she guessed.
Though separated by AGO miles
and in two distinct industrial COM
'munities. the depression brought to
the ranks of beggars for bread the
white collar class, here as in the
New England industrial center.
Among those who appealed for aid
to the county, by an ironic fate, was
an aged minister who used to preach
to mill workers and tenant farmers
blessed be the poor" In the fullness
of his years and filed with deeds well
done in telling the poor their reward
was in heaven, he retired. His con-
gregation and son supported him.
Then came the depression: his flock
which had remained poor themselves
did not have enough to eat. His son
lost his job. Today the aged minister
has learned just how blessed the
poor are.

Of sunshine and prosperity. Those
who are still eating well do not like
to talk about the prevalent poverty
and hunger. When you ask for sta

pretty bad off, but mostly mill work
ers and tenant farmers" They don't

CHARLOTTE, N. C. - If
there is a sickness in a family
in the Queen County of the
South" a special allowance of
so cents a week is made.
Almost all of them complain that
they can't possibly live on it," said
Miss Bailey.
Relief expenditures in the county
has mounted steadily until now it is
$4,000, about Is times what 1t was
before the depression.
The sum spent in 1928 $50 5000 and
the sum spent last year is a clear in
dication of the tremendous increase
of want and hunger. The wages mill
workers and tenant farmers earned
even in the prosperous days were OBJ
viously sufficient only for hand-to-

farmers for every mill or other in
dustrial worker. The ratio used to be
three to one, but many were driven
back TO the land in hopes Of eking
out an existence there.
Many of the bread eaTuerS who are
at work part Or full time still appeal
for charity for they are unable to
earn enough to support their fami-
lies. This is especially true among
some mill workers. Those, for in
stance, who worked in the Chadwick
Hoskins and the LeakYile Wooden
Mills just outside of Charlotte used
to earn IS or Sc a week for 10 or
II hour day. This was before the
mill code. Almost everyone of these
workers at some time or other ap-
pealed for charity, according TO the
Department of Welfare records. Even
after the code went into effect, due
to the stretch-out system, not all Of
them have gone back to work, with
the result that many are still on the
charity list.
Even those working full time and
getting their $12 a week minimum
are in want, for mills work a few
months and then shut down. When
the yearly average is totalled up the
mill worker Is still not earning any
where near a living wage. The
stretch-out system which makes him
do twice as much work for the in
crease in pay that the code gave him,
actually serves to cut down the num-
Der Of persons who might be en-
ployed, as well as his own working
time over a long period.
This stretch-out is common in this
area since the code went into effect.
Mills work their employees at a fe-
verish pace, manufacture all they
need and close their doors, throwing
their workers back upon the county
or government for support.
It should be noted, though, that
quite number OF mills were gen.
erous toward their employees when
work stopped. The electricity which
mills generate and which is used to
light the company-owned shacks
where the workers live, was not cut
off, The former mill hands could
have light by which to see their
misery. In some cases, however, mills

Of all"
Erwin stops ana says "Youvs no
idea. No idea"
The next day, as they are lying
behind the fir tree during the
midday pause, Erwin tells how they
have found Gumpert. Il knew IT.
That's 1t, YOU know, man. HIS
lips were blue and bitten TO pieces
and between them lay his tongue,
bitten to rags. Like a dry lump Of
blood. At first we thought there
was somebody sleeping there. But

things change some days, my dear
fellow. And only with clubs. They
didn't have one shot to spare.
Don't say anything about it, I tell
you. Then something else would
happen. -
Later, as Erwin is leading the pris-
oners to work, he hears someone In
the line softly sing the song of the
trumpeteer. Shut up!" roars Erwin
CLOSE your ugly mug, you pup!" and
then he runs back and looks out over
the men marching In front Of him
