in relief expenditures this win
ter.
Five million families, embrace
ing 23,0O0,OOO men, women and
children, must be given relief
this winter, Richberg's report
shows. This huge figure includes
only unemployed families, and
no aid will be given the thous-

whose incomes are too small to
support their families properly.
Richberg estimates that the
cost of relief this year will far
exceed the 1888 expenditures.

Big Chain Profit ON $3.50
Wages.


A study of % chain organizations-emb
ing 5.027 stores whose sales totalled s67O76OOOO
in l932-by the Bureau of Business Research of
the graduate school of Business Administration
OF Harvard University shows that on the aver
age the larger organizations operated at a pro-
fit while the smaller ones lost money in that
year. However, only chains with less than 10
stores failed to earn" anything in the capitalist
sense OF the word. Net gain" of all stores even
IN the crisis year 1882 with bank panic and all
the rest, was over five per cent. Total wages and
salaries paid by these chains dropped steadily
from 1928 through 1892
These Harvard studies. we are informed. do
not include the really big chain organizations
such as Atlantic Pacific. If they did, profits of
four leading ehains-Safeway, KToger, A. & p,
and First National-in 1888 were So per cent
higher than they were in the socalled normal"
year of 1926. The Roosevelt government is try
ing desperately to push prices up to the level of
ly26. 1t might be asked whether these four chain
corporations would be willing to have their pro-
fits reduced to the level of 1926
In connection with this review of chain
store profits may also be mentioned a recent
government report Senate Document No So
l5rd Congress, End SESSION., dealing with wages
paid to chain store employees 1t reports on the
low wages of store employees as compared with
the extremely high figures for both store man

Dear Editor:
On August II / received a
work ticket from the National

ders to report for duty the fol-
lowing morning at eight sharp.
The big opportunity proved to
be small recondition paving

King County line. Templeton &

reported as did about hun
dred other unfOrtunates. After
standing around from eight I'M
til three in the afternoon, [ was
finally put to work. At the end
of the first week | found my pay
check $1.50 short, but the boss
promised to add this amount to
the following weeks check.
At the end of the following
week I was laid off, but was
still $3.50 short.
was firmly resolved to get my
back pay, however small, so l
returned to work the following
week. Harry Erkland, foreman
and shock absOrber for the out
fit, tried to scare me away by
offering me the hardest work.
Failing in this he fired me.
I approached a number of
men on the subject of short
pay and found that, with only
one exception, they had all
been gypped out of few dol
lars, one being short $4.25. The
big boss, Ed Templeton, said
he could do nothing about it.
With thousands of workers
competing for a few hours of
work on PWA and other pro-
jects, the big fellows find it
comparatively easy to put over
a steal of this kind.
TempletOn also violated his
contract by closing the road to
traffic. Many small ranchers who
were dependent on roadside
