carrier to the resaw.
If working in the sawmill, Big
Gus, the supposed to be fore
man, finds you are not moving
fast enough, you go down the
line with your pay check. The

Food Voucher

EVERETT, Wash, Sept. 81
John Palmer, whose wife is about
to be confined, asked the welfare
for an emergency voucher. After
considerable stalling, he was told
to come for a So voucher the
next day.
When he arrived the next day
he was handed a So voucher, the
amount of his regular two weeks
food voucher with no comment.
Mr.. Palmer spent the money for
necessities for his wife, and on
food voucher day, went for his
voucher. Being told that he al
ready had his voucher, he replied
that he had asked for an emer-
gency voucher, and had used the
voucher given him as one.
At this welfare station there
is always a standing committee
of workers when a demand is re-
fused, the applicant can readily
summon a committee.
Upon this occasion, however,
it was not necessary to call the
committee, as weeks voucher
was granted. Mr.. Palmer will ask
for another voucher next week,
and the committee will be ready
to back him up.

Floyd Burgess, militant worker
framed by the local Welfare Of
ficials and rail-roaded to Kelley
Butte county reformatory, ap-
piled at the mothers pension bu-
reau for care of herself and five
little children, ranging in ages
from six months to six years,
while Burgess is in Jail. Immedi-
ately, the woman in charge of
pensions, asked Mrs. Burgess If
her husband was a Communist.
That has nothing to do with
this case" she was informed by
a worker on the the committee.
Mrs. Burgess and her children
need care. Such care is provided
by law for families OF prisoners
and we demand this pension"
The woman in charge said that
the judge delayed Burgess sem
tence to determine whether his
wife was entitled to this pension
but he never took the trouble to
investigate. If he had, Burgess
probably never would have been
sentenced. The only excuse given
for not granting Mrs. Burgess the
pension was that they were I'M
