Phil a d e lip h ia Girl

With a Negro Worker

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. IL
An attempt to prosecute young
girl, Marjorie Hunt, and Negro
youth, Emanuel Wright, for walking
together on the street was made
here by the police, it was learned
yesterday. The two workers, mem
bers of the Unemployment Council,
were seized by the police and taken
to the police station, where they
were grilled for over an hour.
When the two young people de-
manded to know why they were ar

DO you think niggers are human
beings?" a detective shouted at
Miss Hunt.
"Of course Negroes are human
beings" she answered.
After being grilled on the pro-
gram of the Unemployment Coun-
Gil, they we're released.

The hearing which was held in
the City Hall on Feb. 6 was at
tended by more than 500 workers,
who expressed their Indignation at
every opportunity. One worker, the
wife of bed-ridden, tubercular
veteran, bitterly assailed John T.
Sankey, who dispenses relief here.
She charged that he only allows her
seventy-five cents a week for the
support of her two children and
war-wrecked husband. She de-
clared that the relief agencies had
refused to intercede in an eviction
suit now pending against her in
local justice court.

.Speed-upPlans
In Minnesota
Blow Is Aimed Against
All Organization on
Work Projects

INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINI,
Feb. ia program of speed-up
and discrimination aaginst workers
who try to organize on the relief
projects is outlined in an order that
was issued to all districts and
county E. r. A. engineers, by the
office of the State Engineer of the
Minnesota E. R. A.
This policy, which is in line with
the Roosevelt program of separating
the unemployed into two categories
of employable and "unemployables
is designed to force any worker who
does not submit to whatever treat
ment is handed out to him by the
relief officials, onto home relief
where he will be at the mercy Of
the local relief agencies.
1T is absolutely necessary the
order states" that these employees
give their most efficient effort
while working on these projects.
In order to maintain this eff
cheney, you will inform and in
struct all project supervisors who
have direct charge Of working OPP
eratiOns, that they have the au-
thOrity to dispense with the SER
vices Of any employee who does
not conform to the spirit of this
bulletin
New Classification
After giving the supervisors the
authority to hire and fire as they
see fit, the bulletin then states that
any one who is discharged twice will
be classified as "unemployable" per-
manently.
IF persons are determined to be
unemployable,' tine bulletin states
further in order to prepare for the
Roosevelt program, then that fact
should be made matter of record
so that if and or when the F. E.
r. A. absOlves itself from all relief
responsibility for unempIOyabIe per-
sons, the status of each such person
may be known"
In an effort to make the order
seem justifiable it states that This
instruction shall not be construed
as other than a measure to insure
that each person employed by the
Work Division gives days work
for days pay and all persons ad-
ministering the intent herein con-
tanned are admonished to inject
leniency in accordance with the
physical condition of persons as
signed for work on approved prof.
ects. Conversely, 1oafers and lean
ers" are to be handled fairly but
firmly"
Hits Organization
1t is in the last paragraph that
the real nature of the document,
as a weapon against the attempts
OF the workers on these Jobs to or
ganize, becomes clear. It concludes
with the statement that, IF any
relief worker injects his personality
into work program activities in such
manner that he binders, limits
or stops the normal work output of
other employees, such person will
be regarded as unemployable and
will be placed on direct relief in the
manner specified above"
If this order is allowed to be car
ried out, it will mean that any
worker who protests against the
conditions on the job or attempts
to organize his fellow workers to
strike for better conditions, will be
singled out and victimized as an
"unemployable.''

60 MANY things are being blamed
y upon the weather nowadays that
it is a relief to consider Brooklyn's
Dodgers. Since those athletes prob
ably would continue to drop decisions
even If they were performing within
the shadow of the south pole, today's
collection of logic is dedicated to those
persistent customers who annually
must be beset by chilIs while the heat
is being turned on elsewhere.
Plainly what is wrong with the
Dodgers as well as with such better
favored clubs as the Red Sox and the
Indians is that -even worse teamwork
is displayed by the bosses than by the
hired help. Until the front offices can
be made to understand the necessity OF
cooperation as we'll as of sustained
and intelligent planning, World Series
must continue to be played at the Polo
grounds, at Yankee stadium, in st.
Louis and Detroit.

"Too Many Bosses
Is Baseball Nemesis

Such confusion of purpose is nothing
new in this combination of sport and
business that is baseball. For instance,
there are the White Sox. When
Charles Comiskey was in his prime
the team made money and won pen
nants. AS he became cider he slipped
into a mingling of uncertainty and
stubbornness that caused him to lean
too heavily upon poorly equipped vol
unteer advisers. For years then, and
after his death, the White Sox neither
made money nor won pennants. Now
a happy understanding between field
and office Is bringing success again.
There also are the Giants. For years
McGraw was the supreme authority
and the club was one of baseball's
qrandest successes. Then some of the
players discovered that 1t was perhaps
not impossible to 90 over the "old
Mans" head. The next pennant was
won when Bill Terry, who would not
accept the job until granted full and
undivided control, had become man.

In mentioning this have no desire
to be unkind to the various gentlemen
who have devoted their years (albeit
at salaries considerably more hand

stating facts that are very well known
to any one who ever has poked an in
quisitive nose into major league dug

The business manager, who talks an
excellent game and who takes bows

for them, is pal Of the press. This
does not necessarily mean that Walter

Life Is What
You Make 1t,
Even in Sport

TT Is rule Of mine that letters must
be answered promptly and yet the
one postmarked from small West vir-
ginia town has been here for almost
a wsek. That Is because But
enough Of such staIling.
Dear Mr.. -: It was nice Of you to
pick me out from the midst of all those
other sports writer's whose stories you
read while trying to find some one
from whom to obtain support. Yet, at
the start, may as we'll tell you that
] am going to fail you.
Perhaps you are right in saying that
your son has had too good an educa-
ton to waste himself Upon profess
sional baseball. That would depend
largely upon whether he has the ability
to reach the major leagues quickly and
to stay there for at least five years.
If he can make that grade then !
think that you are wrong in believing
that he will spend the rest of his life
regretting lost business opportunities.
Let US see.
The oldest living former National
league player resides In Boston. He
is past eighty and 1t has been more
than 40 years since he ended his ac-
tive days as one of the greatest of all
stars. Has George Wright spent all
those seasons thinking Of the past and
regretting opportunities that were lost
by playing baseball?
Not bit of it. Like A. G. Spalding,
another great player of another day,
his real fortune was achieved away
from the diamond and yet because Of
1t. What he might have become with
out baseball l do not know, but / do
know that lessons learned in front of
wildly excited crowds in those old
wooden stands were invaluable to both
men later while they built up busi-
nesses that yielded them fortunes.
You say that you would not care for
him to travel around with a sporting
crowd. Honestly, Mr.. -, ! should
not worry about that. There are all
kinds of definitions Of sporting and so
let US look at another side of 1t.
