In his statement to the press,
Hopkins said that work will be
found for the needy" This is in
line with the statement of Mayor
LaGuardia and his welfare director
Hodson, that the unemployed will
be put "on the needy basis that
is C.W.A. Jobs will be liquidated,
many will be cut off relief, and the
relief and work relief wages" cut
down to the minimum" as Hodson
stated this week.
Hopkins did not say a word as to
any definite amount of relief to be
given to the unemployed after
April LIST, and did not give any def
mite plan for the security Of the

evasive promises, at the same time
that the C.WA. is being demobi-
lized rapidly. The masses Of the
unemployed through continued
demonstrations must force real
concessions from Hopkins I'd the
federal government.
