Open Hearing in Jersey Farm
Town Reveals Low Pay, Terror

tered among the orchards and the
vegetable fields and can houses are
wretched barracks and huts-gray,
broken, wide gaps in the roofs and
walls. The windows are like great
wounds in the broken sides. Glass
doesn't exist. Between the huts
run open sewers. The kids jump
over them like flies. No lights, no
water in the houses. When it rains,
the workers tell you you might as
well stay outside. There's no keep
ing dry on the inside.
And for these novels they pay
81 month. Charles Seabrook rules
over this domain like a lord. If
you are caught eating anything that
grows on Seabrook farm you are
Immediately fired. Behind the huts
are piles Of rusty canS-remains of
the meals these agricultural work
ers must live on.
Over in a corner is q group Of
very nice white cottages. American
Village, the workers call it. That's
where the foremen and the other
Americans live. They get hardly
any more wages and they have to
pay high rent for these places-but
the discrimination system does its
work They never came out on
strike with the Italian and Negro
workers. They remained loyal to
Seabrook.

Molotov's Report On
Second Five-Year Plan
Now Out i'm Book Form

'"The fulfillment of the second
Five-Year Plan will increase still
further the Importance of the U,
S. S. R. as a bulwark of struggle
of the international proletariat,"
v. M. Molotov, chairman of the
Council of the Peoples Commits
sars of the U. S. S. r., states in
his tasks of the Second Five
Year Plan now being distributed
by International Publishers.
Through improving the well-be-
ing of workers and collective farm
ers and completing the technical
reconstruction of the n a tion q
economy, the second plan will help
destroy the causes which give
rise to class distinction and ex-
ploitation; overcome the survivals
of capitalism in economy and in
the consciousness of people; trans
form the whole working population
of the country into conscious, ac-
tive builders of classics, So
cialist society"

July IA. ATTENTION CTTI-
zENS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY
after this follows John Howard
Lawson's description in the N. Y.
Post Of the activities Of the White
Legion in the South. Says Mr..
Seabrook:
do you know that in addition
to fOmenting strikes, disorder and
riots in Alabama the Communists
sent New York attorneys to that
state from the Communist Inter
national Labor Defense to defend
and act as counsel for eight Ne
groes tried for rape of two white
girls. Two OF the Negroes are
to be hanged next month.
Do you know that right now in
Cumberland County lawyers from
this same Communist Interna-
tional Labor Defense are trying
to obtain release Of outside Com
munist labor agitatOrs arrested to
date? As an American citizen I
trust that no White Legion or
any other Legion will repeat
what is going on in Alabama
against Communist agitatOrs and
advocates. :"
For days these broadsides, lynch
indictments flowed from the pen
Of Charles Seabrook.
The fight is not over on the Sea-
brook farms. The workers won their
wage inreaSe. The won the point
about no observation-disclosures is
taking a stiff fight to enforce 1t.
But they shouted their confidence
in the leadership of the Cannery
and Agricultural Workers Indus
trial Union into the teeth Of the
lying accounts in the press and
they are ready to continue their
battle for the right to a decent
life.

Negroes Don't Mind Misery" Says
White Head of Harlem Health Center

were made by DR.. Blau, who said
that the Health Center had about
1000 new cases each month, and
of the $4,000 visits paid in 1898,
over 1000 were babies, and 1,700
pre-school children. Practically all
the patients are Negroes, with a
small scattering of Irish, Italian,
Spanish and a few other nation
alitieS. Out of 500 children ex-
amined in 1898, almost 200 were
undernourished. Infant mortality
is almost twice as great in Harlem
as in other parts of the city-90
infants out of every 1000 dying
compared to SO in the rest of the
city. Two years ago, 81 out of
every 1000 babies born in Harlem
were doomed to early death and
almost every child suffered from
the malnutrition disease, ricketts,.
About 80 per cent of the total
adult population of Harlem is out
of work, resulting in lack of proper
food, and, because of the high
rents, in overcrowding. AS re-
suit, there is three times as much
tuberculosis in Harlem as in the
rest of the city. In 1881 there
were 555 cases out of every 100000
and in 1893, 458 cases, compared
to 1856 cases out of every 100000
in the rest of the city. Maternal
mortality is also twice as high in
Harlem, lis Of every 1000 mothers
dying, compared to 6.41 in the
rest of New York City.
DR.. Blau, who had to admit that
tuberculosis is more prevalent in
Harlem, because of economic con-
ditions, lack of nourishment and
overcrowding," carefully stated sew
eral times: 1--WE do not want to
think of Harlem as a segregated
area. We do not want to look
at the colored people as different
from other people. We look on
them not as Negroes but as peo-
pie" DR.. Blau, representing the
City Administration spoke as
true agent OF the LaGuardia gov
eminent, and the white ruling
class, attempting to whitewash the
vicious Jim-Crowing of Negroes
into the segregated area of Har-
lem, where high rents are gouged
from the Negro people, overcrowd-
ing is inevitable, there is more I'M
employment, lower wages, and I'M
ACCOMPLISHMENT, high mortality and
tuberculosis, the direct results of
the policy of segregation and ex-
ploitation Of the Negro people.

MsIeaders among SOcia
Workers Block Fight for
Unemployed Insurance

! 1898 discussed first, and that he
wished to speak on the resolution.
In an unbiased" manner, he told
the conference that the Workers
Bill was drawn up by people who
knew nothing Of the principles Of
social insurance" The people sup
porting the bill were fools, he con-
tinued. On the basis Of his 30 years
study and experience, Mr.. RubinoW
urged the conference to reject the
resolution. If the resolution were
endorsed, the conference would be
committing an act Of professional
stupidity. he warned.
Rank and file sentiment was not
shaken by this peroration. The res
olutiOn would have passed, If taken
to a vote. The second move Of the
executive was to declare that the
whole future Of Jewish Social Work
was at stake, They said that faY-
orable action on the resolution
would mean that rich contributors
to the agencies would withdraw
bIlCAA ouppOl u
Since this did not seem to
brighten the conference, the eKecu-
tives pulled the red scare" They
declared that the conference was
packed with New York radicals who
did not truly reflect the opinions
Of the people in the field. When
this also failed, the executives tried
to claim that the conference could
not act because there was no
quorum present.
THEN the executives pulled ths
i last trick out of their bag. They
announced that no vote could be
taken, since such a vote was uncon-
stitutional When reminded that in
1881 the conference had gone on
record calling on Hoover to help the
unemployed, one executive replied
that two wrongs did not make one
right. The executives were finally
successful in their efforts to send
the resolution to committee where
it died, due to the pressure Of other
business that could not be de-
layed.'
At the same conference the rank
and-file urged the support Of the
principle of collective bargaining
between social work employees and
the big social agencies. Mr.. Rubi-
now, who is always in the forefront
of any fight against the lowering of
social work ethics or professional
standards, also attacked this res
olution. He pointed out that hs
believed in collective bargaining and
had fought for its principle for over
30 years. But in social work-vell,
it was different. The principle
couldn't apply in field so
thoroughly fenced with ethics, so
thoroughly sown with professional
standards. He omitted to add,
and so thickly spread with the rip
est sophistical manure. .
The rank-and- file social workers
who witnessed Mr.. Rubinows fight
TO kill the resolution learned more
from Mr.. Rubinow than from their
years in social work schools. 1t
was driven home to them that So
cial work helps gloss over the evils
of capitalism, that it Is an active
agency for bamboozling the workers,
and that it is one Of the most dam
gerous enemies of working class
programs and movements.

By A RELIEF WORKER


YOUNG social workers who are
Just entering the field often de-
lude themselves into thinking thai
they are important cogs in the
shaping Of society. The more hon
est among them soon recognize that
this is nothing more than a delusior
to hide theugly fact that social work
ers have TO prettify the stencil and
evils of decaying social order.
Social workers must sanction and
render homage to the existing poll
tical and economic system. Any OPP
position, any challenge leads to dis
missal. The tone for social work
is set by those social agencies that
actively participate in breaking
strikes, or like the C. o. S. Of Lon
don claim that workers who fight
for unemployment insurance are
suffering from an Adlerian lion
tanning" complex.
We shall not record here how the
more radical social workers are
fighting this tradition and how they
are identifying themselves with the
fight for the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill and other mass
struggles. We merely intend to tell
OF the actions of a famous social
worker who may one day be called
upon to administer whatever social
insurance scheme the Roosevelt ad-
ministration may decide to cook up,
under pressure from workers and
farmers. The story is good il
luStration of how social workers are
used to bolster up the existing
scheme Of things, and why they are
so dangerous to movements that
fight for economic security and
better society.
D E G EMILY the Conference of
~ Jewish Social Service held its
1884 meeting at Atlantic City. Sen
timent among the rank-and-fiIe was
strong for the passage of a resolu-
ton urging Congress to pass the
Workers Bill for unemployment in
Surance, CHR. 1899. The executive
of the big agencies were aware of
this feeling, and decided to use one
Of their biggest guns to kill the res
olution. Their big-bertha was Mr..
I. M. Rubinow.
Mr.. Rubinow's Social Insurance is
the standard textbook for college
instruction. He has attacked the
Wisconsin plan for unemployment
insurance drawn up by Professor
John R. Commons, which is one of
the most vicious substitutes for
genuine unemployment insurance
yet devised in America. But while
Mr.. Rubinow's negative and verbal
record may be good, his positive
achievements are very bad. He is
the author and sponsor of the Ohio
plan for unemployment reserves
which on the surface differs from
the Wisconsin farce, but in actuality
is just as bad as far as workers are
concerned. He is the bitter enemy
of the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill, about which he liter
ally foams at the mouth, and which
causes him to forget his usual
supply of pointless anecdotes.
At the Atlantic City Conference,
Mr.. Rubinow got up and said that
he wanted the resolution on H. R.
