have had his origin in the Alu-

size and strength.
The bulldog was a well de-

that time.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 1s.-Daily
picketing is taking place at every

Police are stationed at all relief
offices and scores of workers are be-

cases, arrests have been stopped by

Picketing and demonstrations are

Sharp Rise

rapid increase of prices has can
celled all gains in the wage income
Of the average American worker, so
that his real income is actually
lower today than at the depth of
the crisis in March, 1888, is pointed
out by the American Federation Of

ness for November.
In terms of food, the average
workers dollar was worth only IS
cents in September, 1888, only rs
cents in September, 1884, and at
the end of October, still 70 cents.
according to the survey.
In clothing" it continues. "the
story was much the same. The
workers dollar would buy 81 cents
worth of clothing and furnishings
in September. 1888, only 1917 cents
worth in September, 1884.

In lo4 industries employing nearly
tWo-thirds of all industrial workers
was S19.65 in March, 1888; S19.O5

The survey points to figures of
the Bookings Institution. which
show that in 1929 a wealthy group
OF less than per cent of all nom
farm families received 81 per cent
of all non-farm income; that a
middle class group of 81 per cent

ingly, we're thrown into Jail here
Oct. Is, when the manager Of the

tory invoked the Master and Serv-

The men are now out on bail.
Their defense is in the hands Of

manded that they work later than

developed that there is no legal

compelled TO work overtime without

Drastic LayOf
IsVOtedBehind
Locked Doors
JObless Storm Welfare
Stations Daily After
Aid Is Slashed

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 1S.-Follow-
ing out the relief slashing policy of
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration, the Illinois Emergency
Relief Commission, meeting behind
closed doors last Wednesday, de-
cided to lay off 300 relief staff en-
ployees in Cook County by Dec. Is.
That this lay-off is part of the
general policy of the I. E. R. C. and
the F. E. r. A. Of reducing both re-
ief standards and wage levels, is
Hearty evident from the fact that
Iollowing close upon the heels of
this reduction in staff, the admin
Stration is planning to lop off thou
sands from the relief rolls. AL
ready the drive is on to ferret out
so-called fraud cases. Workers on
the relief rolls who manage to earn
a few dollars month to supple
ment the starvation relief hand
outs and do not report such earn
ings to relief authorities come I'M
der this Classification. AS a further
threat upon present wage levels,
mention might be made of the pres
erlt plan Of the relief authorities to
replace some of the discharged
workers by unemployed workers
from the relief rolls on a work re-
lief basis.
Many relief employees look upon
this drastic reduction as an exen-
sion of the stretch-out system I'M
der Roosevelt's New Deal program.
The addition to the already large
number of families which they are
( carrying, will mean intolerable
Ppeed-ups, overtime, and nervous
Dreakdowns.
~ Many relief workers are plan
ming to meet this lay-off and the
additional threat to their working
conditions, by uniting their forces
with the unemployed workers who
have recently suffered relief slashes
from Is per cent to 25 per cent.
They participated in the broad
united front conference of en-
ployed and unemployed organiza-
tons last Saturday, and will join
in the great demonstration which is
to take place on Nov. "a.
BY the logic of recent events,
hundreds and thousands of relief
workers and professional workers
generally are beginning to show a
closer identity of interest with
other workers. They have seen how
the starvation policies of the Roose-
velt Government, which although
aimed primarily against the unem-
ployed and employed wage workers,
are also directed against the pro-
fessional class and salary workers.
This action of the F. E. r. A. will
open their eyes still further to the
fact that the Roosevelt Govern
nent in the interests of the bank
Frs and the big industrialists and
not in their interests or in the in
terests of the American working
class.

nounced on Oct. Is that relief would
be cut so per cent, and steps would
be taken TO close the Welfare De-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 10. -
Four hundred Negro and white
workers stormed the relief station

and stated she would attempt to get
increased relief for the clients.
Twenty-Five unemployed workers
joined the Councils, and others
