Loans To
Over Billion And
Half Dollars
EVERYONE HELPED

Within twelve months after the
opening of its last state office, the
Home Owners Loan Corporation
has saved more than a half million
urban homes from foreclosure by
granting mortgage r%efunding loans
amounting to over a billion and a
half dollars, it was announced by
the Corporation.
As of September I, the Corpora
ton had closed sos ,070 loans
throughout the country to a total
of $1,513,10o,612, of which about
S150,oo0,o0O has been distributed
in cash in local communities.
To liquidate arrears of taxes and
assessments on homes securing the
loans, the Corporation to date has
paid approximately $%1o3,30oo,o 900
into local treasures in the 1912
counties of the United States.
These sums have reduced tax de-
l~inquencies which were serious in
many instances, permitting count
less communities to meet their pay
rolls for schools, police and other
services and to take care of other
obligations.

Jewish Agriculture
Society to EViCt
Starving Farmer
CBy a Farmer Correspondent

MARROW, N. IA poor farm
family is being skinned alive, the
skinner in this case being the Jew
ish Agriculture Society, Inc, Of S01
E. 14th St., New York. The family
in this case is Mrs. Rosa w. Feuer
Of MARROW, N. H, who is facing star
walton and freezing, together with
her four children, being short in food
clothes and shelter, more than half
a dozen people being herded into q
one-room shack.
This farm woman has lived and
worked here for about one-quarter Of
a century. Her four children were all
born on this farm. All of them are
Of school age.
She is of Jewish stock, and so she
is not given any relief here. Some
time ago she applied for a Federal
Land and Bank mortgage, with the
result that the benevolent American
government took away from her the
$40 which she had borrowed from
neighbor and gave her no loan.
At present the Jewish Agriculture
Society is holding mortgage against
this little farm family. The family
has no income and not even one
dollar in cash. The mortgage holder
has recently given short notice Of
foreclosure.
The farmer woman appealed to her
old Jewish father, who scraped to-
gether SIPS by donations and handed
it to the society to appease their in
satiate greed for money. That society
did not disdain to accept the raised
fund, which should have gone for
the relief of this poor Jewish family
in distress.
The husband of this farm woman
is unable to work because he was
crippled in a lumber mill while at
work there, and was given no COM
pensstion at all.

Medical Students Here and In Soviet
Russia
(Continued)
How different the situation in
Soviet Russial In the proletarian
fatherland, the medical candidates
are chosen by committees OF their
fellow workers, manual workers
having the preference, if everything
else is equal. There is no discrimina-
ton in regard to race, sex or nation
ality. A medical student is paid dur
ing his or her training. If he is able
to do other work, in addition to his
studies, he or she receives additional
compensation Most Of the large
cities now have medical faculty for
training students. The commissions
which receive applications for vacan-
cies from schools and workshops
(Workmen's Committees) consist of
representative of the administrative
medical faculty, the professional staff,
the trade unions and the student
workers. This commission makes the
final selection Of the recommended
candidates
The medical course in Russia lasts
five years dnstead of four, as in the
United States. AS soon as the
medical student graduates. he is of

there were 5000 medical students. In

GAS CITY. Ind.-One year ago
last September an Unemployed Coun-

the Daily Worker. We workers were
able to demand and get from the city
$500 for milk for undernourished chill
dren Fourteen hundred dollars gas
tax money was used in giving work

Of the trustee we're raised from s1.8O
a week to s2.4O a week and a sack
of flour, also coal was given to the
workers. No water or lights were
turned off without being turned back
on and that was only two or three
times.
Before Christmas every food store
had a barrel set in it by the so-called
good people and was filled up to dish
out to the workers for Christmas. The
City Council voted another $1,000 TO
the U. c., but would not turn it over
because they had set their plans to
destroy the U. c. So, with the help
of all the preachers may their gods
bless them, all the lodges and the
Mayor and all the city officials and
the bosses Of the IO.G.C. broke up
the U. c. Churches and lodges were
opened almost every night. One
preacher made an appeal to the
American Legion to reign terror upon
the workers. The Mayor and the
city officials threw the doors of the
city hall open for card playing. The

get fired if they attended the U. G.
meetings.
This winter and another Christmas
over. Not one cent for milk, not one
barrel for Christmas, lights and water
being turned off all over town, no
coal until late, which caused the
death of one workers child. No shoes
and underwear for the mothers and
babies, churches opened twice week,
lodges once a week, no card playing
in the city building. The preachers
enjoyed a big Christmas while the
workers children starved.
But the U. c. is coming back

are getting ready not to starve but

ing on this project. Henry Jolivette,
our chairman, hires his relatives and
close friends to work there.
Lately workers and farmers that
live close to this airport have been
looking into things and found out
that man living some $50 miles
away from here is working on this
project with two trucks and a hired
man. These workers told old Henry j.
that here they are living right where
this airport is being built and will
have to pay taxes on 1t for the next
five years and can't get q job. Old
Hank always says, We'll, can't help
it. We got too many men now and
vii have to fire 500 as 1t is"
Recently Jolivette promised the
farmers that starting that week they
would begin working with the team.
There cannot be more than one mem
Der Of a family working on this pro-
ject. A team working gets so cents
an hour. A man from the city gets
60 cents an hour for shoveling, while
farmer gets only so cents. They
also have arranged it so that a group
works first two weeks, then another
group the next two weeks. Henry
Jolivette gets 81 a day just for riding
around to see how the G. w. A. is
working.
Two workers happened to get a
chance to talk to Henry J., and one
Of them heard that $500 has been
missing from the city treasury. Henry
]. said that nix-up was made in
the books, that so much changing
around Of money has been going on
that the books are all Iumbled up.
A near neighbor Of ours has a
gravel pit on his farm. One day two
men from the committee were sent
down to get gravel for some city work.
The farmer said that he sells his
gravel at $3.50 a yard. They wanted
to buy it for Is cents per yard. The
farmer would not sell it, because he
figured out that these two would buy
his gravel at rs cents yard and in
the city books they would write that
it was $3.50 a yard, so that they them
selves could pocket the difference.
