Mattress Factory Proposal
Is Criticized; Cotton win BE
Bought With Relief Funds
by EARL GOODWIN

The Federal Emergency Relic
Administration Is about to start
one Of its sociological experiments
In the District Of Columbia by e.
tablishing q mattress factory
which win insure soft beds-and
possibly sweet dreams-tO every
person On relief who needs q mat
treSg.
The mattress experiment has
been kept rather quiet Ginps It Wa
first announced by Q visit to Com
missioner Allen by MRS. Ellen
s.. Woodward, cooperative expert
employed by the Federal Relie4
Administration, because ut the
District Building the mattress e.
pertinent is looked on @ some
thing that no one wants to have
anything to do with:
Orders From Abovs
However, orders came from
above. The idea was that hun.
dreds Of women On reflex would
be put to work stuffing surplus
cotton Of the Government intu
bags made Of ticking that the
Government would supply. Ihe
mattresses then would be dis
tributed about among families
who needed them. There are, II
was stated at the conference DO.
tween Commissioner Allen and
MRS. woodward. 250, 900 bales 0e
cotton that could be stuffed into
mattresses, inSuring work and
rest for Q large number ot per
sons.
But today it developed that the
Government is not supplying cot
ton for this experiment, but that
the Commissioners Of the District
Of Columbia have asked bids foE
cotton to be sold by private bid
ders and that payment for the
$4,000 pounds Of cotton TO be thus
purchased is to be made from
the relief funds given the District
for food and shelter for the Dis
trict'S 21,O00 destitute individuals
and families.
-. Officials Critical
The orders thus TO use DlSrica
of Columbia relief funds ana IA
use District machinery, person
mel, ETC., came directly from "thE
top" at the FERA. according to
District officials, who have beeu
quite free in their criticism Of the
mattresS-Stuffing experiment.
. It is obvious now that the mat
tress venture Is to be . separate
sociological plaything, and Is not
to be the main object Of the Dis
trict's Rehabilitation Corporation,
which has Just been incorporated
One Of the highest officials in
the District government has ex
pressed himself thus On the expert'
ment:
1--WE have been afraid q EhlD
cotton buying thing for . 1OMg
time. Il is wished On uS BY the

Government and Num-
tion-Makers Cooperate
In War Sales Revealed

WASHINGTON. ~ (FP) - Further
evidence of close cooperation between
the government and arms manufactur-
ers was revealed at the Senate NUM-
tons hearings Dec. IL. Both War and
Navy departments have encouraged
sales of American concerns even to
potential enemy powers, Major K. K.
V. Casey, military sales director for the
Du Pont company, testified.
In 1922, the War Department agreed
to supply the Du Points with 10000
rounds of ammunition from Army re-
serves to fill a contract for Japan, ac-
cording to Casey.
Senator Clark Said he had evidence
that a high official Of the War De-
partment in the same year had Of
fered TO negotiate the sale of powder
to Poland for the company. Many
army and navy officers have quit gov
eminent jobs to get on the Du Pont
%company's payroll.
Casey claimed that one reason the
Wal and Navy departments aid the
sales efforts of American munitions
men is that it is a means Of learning
of foreign military preparations.

Background Of Onion
Strike Revealed in
Report

WASHINGTON. ~ (FP) - Whole
families subsisting on $3.50 a year, even
with two of their members working
Many children under IA compelled to
work. Wages of 12H cents an hour.
Workers freezing in winter in shacks
built only for summer use.
These facts are part Of the back
ground Of the dramatic and militant
strike OF onion workers in Hardin
county, Ohio, last summer, as revealed
in a report made by representatives Of
the U. S. Department of Labor and
Agriculture and the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration.
One hundred and seven Of the l7o
families reporting agricultural earnings
had earned less than $3.50 during 1888
and O. OF these families had two or
more persons working, according to
the report. OF III families reporting
income, So per cent had less than
$3.50; SO per cent less than $500; only
3 per cent $1,000 or more
Discussing these figures, Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins referred to
81 900 as the lowest possible subsis-
tence standard. She said that similar
sore spots to these Ohio onion fields
could probably be found in other states,
even in such a rich one as New York.
Wages of the onion workers, which
were Csc an hour in 1880, were 12Hc
before the strike last June. The strike
raised the rate TO 15c an hour, the re-
port notes. About a third Of the fami-
lies had been induced to come to Ohio
from other states by promises Of 25c an
hour and work for the whole family.
Although 81 per cent Of these families
had been in the county 10 years or
more, they are still considered for
eigners," it says.
Methods of fighting the strike, which
put forward demands for Csc an hour
and an S-hour day, are stated. Work
ers arrested, following an injunction,
were held on bail of 81 1000 EACH" says
the report. 1.-THE union president was
kidnapped and beaten; the mayors
home Tin McGuffey) was bombed"
AS a result Of the miserable condi-
tons to which the onion workers are
exposed, the tuberculosis rate Of Har-
din county is the second highest in
Ohio. The houses in which the work
ers live, according to the report, were
built for summer use but are now used
the year round.
Child labor is revealed in the fact
that IS per cent of the workers were
found to be under 10 years Of age and
10 per cent under IA. Of the workers
10 years and over, 80 per cent had had
no more than one months work Of any
sort last year; SIS per cent had had nc
more than two months; o. per cent nc
more than three months So per cent
no more than six months.

Mice Couldn't Stand Relief Meat,
Cats Could, So u. S. Says It's
0. X. For Jobless.

WASHINGTON. Up If a cat
can eat relief meat, it's good enough
for the unemployed. That apparently
is the attitude Of the federal authori-
ties, who have overruled complaints
about canned meat distributed to the
jobless in Toledo, where a number Of
children in relief families have become
i'll.
The local authorities used mice in
making preliminary tests Of the meat,
and on the basis Of their results issued
a statement that the meat was bad.
The U. S. Department Of Agriculture
then had its inspectors test the meat,
with 10 cats.
Mice, according to the federal au-
thorities, are not as dependable as cats
for testing meat. Cats are very dainty
eaters" they say. The cats ate the
meat and liked it, so why shouldn't the
unemployed?
Federal investigators visited the job
less families where the children have
become sick. "All Of the families were
living on a restricted diet" says R. H.
Kerr, head Of the meat inspection lab
o~ratories of the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry. There was a lack of fresh
vegetables and milk for the children.
We also found that in many of these
homes sanitary conditions and food
handling practices were bad" A re-
porting physician stated that the chill
dren affected appeared to be greatly
undernourished."
