Six Cents a Day Is Enough for Food
For an Unemployed Mil Yorker"

If the worker refuses TO work at his
trade for fifty cents day, a trade
which calls for forty or fifty cents an
hour, the charity officials raise their
hands, convinced that the man does
not really want work and that con-
sequently he is unworthy of receiv-
ing further aid The unemployed
and starving worker is thus given his
choice by the charity organizations
Of reducing the general wage levels
or not getting even the six cents a
day allowance for food.
The government C.WA. charity
relief list is being used the same way
in the city, and the Department of
Public Welfare which takes care of
Mecklenburg county other than those
in the city proper (mostly mill hands
and tenant farmers, follows the same
procedure.
In the city's charity expenditures
are found the new type which was
formerly self-supporting steno-
grapher, clerk, school teacher and
minor business executive. The white
collar" class. as it is termed. But the
proportion of those in this class APP
pealing for aid is smaller than in the
New England Industrial center. prob
ably because there are fewer in pro-
portion to the total number of work
rs.
The tremendous growth Of actual
want since the depression is seen by
the number of families aided and the
rising sums charity organizations ex-
pended. The Family Service itself,
one Of the two chief charity organi-
cations here, in 1928 spent SIS 900 for
pure relief, that is, food, clothing and
rent. This was less than an average
expenditure because these were during
good times
The year after the crash 1890
appeals for bread were made by
9,226 families In most estimates an
American family is considered as
consisting of five persons. That is
what the Family Service considers
an average American family. But if
we take the even more conservative
estimate of four to a family we find
that Immediately after the depression
some 5000 persons were without the
slightest notion of where their next
meal was coming from unless it came
from charity.
Family Service alone was thus
taking care of one out of every nine
residents in this city $4,000 popula-
tom. In this year Family Service
spent $4,000. or a little over twice
what it spent the preceding year.
Most of these cases were mill work
ers. unskilled laborers in various in
dustries and businesses and Negroes.
This class-and rs per cent, or three
out of every four workers in Char
lotte, are unskilled-had never earned
enough to save anything and felt
the pinch of hunger the moment they
lost their Jobs, such as they were.
BY the following year 193D the
small savings class felt the depres-
sion. More than 100 new families
found themselves utterly destitute
and had to appeal for charity. In

this year the number of families
Family Service had on their list
reached 1878. Fifty thousand dollars
were spent, or more than three times
the sum expended before the depres-

R. A, half Of the population is still

That this Southern industrial city
is not an solated case is admitted by
charity officials and shown by char

County. These expenditures offer an
example of what has happened in the
rural districts in the area where
wealth awaits you"
THE Mecklenburg County Depart
1 ment Of Welfare is in the Health
Department building behind the
beautiful city hall which hides this
dirty old structure. The steps lead
ing to the Welfare Department we're
dirty; the departments offices were
dirty; It's walls were dirty. Over the
whole place was an atmosphere of
seediness
The Superintendent, Wade II.
Williams, who was appointed last
October, is apparently a political APP
pointee who does not worry much
about his department, for after three
months in office he did not know
what was going on. He referred
everything to a Miss Mildred Bailey,
who had been in the office for some
time, and it was from Miss Bailey
that 1 finaliv mane ged to get the few
figures and facts they have around
the office.
The Department of Welfare has
not had any annual reports of in
comes and expenditures printed for
years. Expenditures, cases and rec
ords float about in the various Of
fices, and when one asks a simple
question like How many cases have
you given relief to during the past
year?" they have to telephone to two
or three people to find out.
One thing, however, was definite:
Alecklenburg County, like the city
organizations, supplies its
citizens with a maximum Of
50 week for family of five. That
is about 80 cents a day per family, or
a little less than six cents per person
per day.

Blow your wives your children, into shreds
But cannot tear atom

And sinking prosttutes-the guzzing
OF your masters and their victims
Changes TO the barricades
OF your rage, and Hotel Grand
Where strutting tourists dined
With your doube-faced leaders,
Shows nothing cringing ewes
Peering through ehinks in the Windov-shutters
The perfume-shops Stefansplatz-
Where women dressed in furs
Bought imported odors
To dull the stink of their conscience
Is filled now with the cleaner smell
Of your bodies pressing ever forward
The sidewalks Of Manufacturing
Where your masters LACED at evening
ogled women, wiped the cream
OF your squeezed lives from their lips
Br1stle now with broken chairs
And tables, tokens of their downfall
Listen, through thousands OF miles
The marching Of feet
On the grey streets of New York
Travels to you, gains your stride
Never to be separated
IN all the eternal rhythmS of the earth!

The picture ends with the bows
marching through the streets en-

their lynch orgy. All this mob spirit
is played up with the greatest
amount of flag raising, singing of
patriotic airs, and other forms of
expressing patriotism. Just such "pa-

orgies of innocent Negro workers.
Workers and workers organiza-

What's Doing
in the Workers
Schools of us.
Minneapolis To
Train Local Leaders

MINNEAPOLIS is preparing a
full-time four-week Party school
beginning April 22nd, to train about
thirty workers and farmers for local
leadership. The students will be
chosen from among miners, metal
workers, packing-house workers, dock
workers, railroad workers, and farm
ers who have taken an active part in
recent struggles. The comrades have
figured out that it will take S12 to
care for one student for the four
weeks, and this money is to be raised
by the section which sends the
student. Funds for the school are
being taken care Of by N. Bernick,
425 Kasota Building, Minneapolis,
Minnesota. We would like to hear
what the response is.
And how about a Workers School
for non-Party as well as Party
workers?
LOS ANGELES is laying plans for
an open Workers School for Party
and non-Party workers. With its
population Of million and a quar-
ter, composed of agricultural work
ers, cannery workers, fishermen and
left-ward turning artists, intellec-
tualS and Electromagnetic, there is
every reason to expect rapid growth
and widespread popularity for such
a school.
