rent, personal and operating, are
eliminated.
Anyone assigned after Sept. 5
will be assigned for food only. In
addition. men on Project or Work
Relief will be given car-fare.
DIRECT RELIEF: To those
who work and need clothing and
fuel will be allowed when the
workers surplus does not meet
the need.
To those who refuse work.
Food Only.
To those physic ally unfit for,
and in emergency, clothing and
fuel.
In addition it is recommended
that careful scrutiny be made by
the Visitor of Families on relief.
In certain families where there
is a doubt in regard to their in
comes such families should be
removed from relief rolls.
Suggestions were made that
families using automobiles prob
ably have income to buy gasoline.
This should be used for emer-
gency needs. 1t may be possible
where families have recently pur-
chased automobiles of good sale
value that they should be con-
sidered a resource.
Careful check should be made
of possibilities for jobs and fol-
low-up of anyone who has re-
fused private employment. 1t
may be possible to check such
information through Mr.. Walker
of the National Re-Employment
Bureau, and If so those lists will
be furnished to zone officers.

Loose Wave of

land, the Central and South East

tia. Concentrations of machine
guns and poison gas at numer.
Gus industrial centers have been
made, and in Rhode Island, the
Carolinas, Georgia and other
states, murder has already been
done. Twenty-three persons were
shot and gassed at Saylesville, II.
l., alone by sheriff's deputies"
and state police armed with shot
guns and gas bombs.
Impossible to Live
The average weekly wage of tex
tile workers is not more than So.
An impossible living standard is
set for workers under this sys-
TEN. The codes were to have set
weekly minimums of II to IA
dollars, but the minimums have
become maximuIns. In the effort
to gouge further profit from
starving workers, the mill oper-
ators have speeded production
up to the point where, though
nominally working an S-hour day
under the Code, each worker
must produce as much as former
ly was done in II hours.
Workers are forced to fake
time cards, no matter how skilled
they are, it is impossible to main
tain the murderous work SEIZED.
ule allotted them-so they are re-
CURED to do from to 20 hours
overtime weekly to keep up with
their schedule-time which is not
recorded on their time cards in
order to comply" with the NRA
restrictions, and for which they
are not paid.
The stretch-out has become
insanely inhuman. In one mill,
at Shirley. Mass. formerly 32GI
workers were employed, today
23O are required to tend an equal
number of machines and to turn
out more work at higher speed !
Merciless Exploitation
Such methods are the common
property of operators in the en-
tire industry. Ruined health,
shattered nerves, starvatiO on
wages, inhuman living conditions
and merciless exploitation, are
the things the textile workers
are fighting against. Unemploy-
ment has become so intense, and
relief agencies are so corrupt, |
and inadequate, that employers
in some regions actually sell"
jobs to the unemployed. Prices
range from 25 to 200 dollars which
of course cannot be paid in cash
but which is deducted from the
workers miserable wages, small
sums weekly until he has paid"
for his job many times over. This
he must do, simply to keep him
self and his family from starv-
ing.

Capitalism.
TO many workers, this seems
strange. CATER ALL" they think,
the Socialist Party is out for
socialism, and so is the Com
muniSt Party"
But the Socialist program
and the daily activities of the
Socialist leadership serves to
interfere with the struggle of
the working class against fas-
cism.
And in this way the Socialist
Party is of the greatest service
to Capitalism.
The local membership of the
Socialist Party should protest
the action of the National Ex-
ecutive Committee and join
with the Communist Party in
immediate united front actions
against war and fascism.

Hop Picker Scores
Working Conditions

GRANTS PASS, Ore, Sept. 10
Working conditions in the Fort
VanOy Hop Yard near here, rival
the VIGOROUSLY bod conditions
of the Imperial Valley. according
to word received from a worker
correspondent.
A majority of the pickers work
from 5 o'clock in the morning I'M
til 5 o'clock at night. 1t is re-
ported that $50 pounds is a high
average for a picker a day. The
price is IA cents per pound or
SL87H cents per day. Or If the
worker does not stay through
the season he is penalized and
receives only | cent per pound or
$1.50 per day.
Sanitary conditions are very
bad. Between 300 and 500 men
and women worked in the fields
for 9 days without toilet facili-
ties and then one toilet was Set
up for both men and women.
The water has to be carried
from a well located near a slough.
Every worker has to carry his
own water-no water boy is pro-
vided. The water itself is very
bad, has made the workers sick
and given some dysentery.

CHANGES IN TRACKS
ON SQUARE ORDERED
Public Utilities Group and City
Heads Act on Stanton
Traffic Hazards.

The Public Utilities Commission
and the Commissioners today ordered
q change in track layout near Stanton
Square northeast, designed to cure a
long standing traffic hazard in that
section.
Street cars operating to Thirteenth
and D streets northeast at present
travel eastWards on the north side of
Stanton Square. This is one-way
street Westbound for all other traffic
and citizens associations in that
section for years have complained
about this irregularity.
The two commissions, sitting today
as the joint board, ordered a single
track switch at Third street and
Massachusetts avenue northeast,
which will allow eastbound cars to
proceed along D street and west
bound cars on the north side Of
Stanton Square, thus reversing the
present flow and ending the conflict
between street car and other traffic
now existing.
