JObIeSS Relief Funds

SPOKANE, Feb. Z - When
state authorities informed the

hausted all it's relief budget, six
hundred of the unemployed here
gathered in the streets, much to
tn CONSERVATION of the city of.
ficials.
Organized under the efficient
leadership of the Unemployed
Councils, a relief station was set
up where the workers raised
their demands, and the authori-
ties found $4,000 available for
relief funds. The authorities even
furnished a hall where the I'M
employed workers could congre-
gate and make their "mulligan"
stew, meat for which is furnished

Big Delay in Care for
Sick, JoblesS People
By a Worker Correspondent


TACOMA, Feb. I'm order to
make the lot of unemployed
workers who are sick more dis
agreeable, the relief set-up has
picked out a committee" of
doctors, before whom a sick per-
son must appear to obtain med
zeal relief.
If O. special diet is indicated,
the worker must obtain his med
ical order before the additional
allowance is made on his voucher.
A dietician, Miss Clark, seems to
rule this committee of medicos.
Even a physicians word that q
prescription needs refilling is
not sufficient. The worker must
again apply to the committee"
before he can get the necessary
medicine. This not only compli-
Gates matters, but in many cases
causes delays, so that the pa
tient gets a serious setback.
1t is up to Tacoma unemploy-
ed to smash this autocratic treat
ment, and to demand that ade-
quate medical relief is provided.

Free Vaccinations Are
Eliminated in Tacoma
By a Worker Correspondent

TACOMA, Feb. Just when an
epidemic of smallpox is making
a good start in Tacoma, the pub
lie health department decided
that it could not afford to give
the free vaccination service that
it always has. in the past.
The nice little plan that the
department has framed with the
assistance of the city's physicians
has been carried through the
schools as follows: Each child
was given a circular letter to his
parents urging vaccination. Fam
lilies were instructed to apply to
their own physician for service.
Doctors have agreed to vaccin-
ate for the MODEST price of 81.
Do not apply to city or school
health departments. Doctors will
do 1t free for those who cannot
pay"
The result is that people are
not getting vaceinated, prefer
ing to take the risk of contract
ing the disease rather than spend
the money they need badly for
something else, or to go through
another set of questions to prove
they are destitute. The vaccine is
supplied FREE to the doctors
by the health department.

AFL Council Election

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. THE

received a terrific shock last
week when a group of rank and

The results of the vote in that
body of Central Labor Council
delegates, most of whom are viz

the spines of the Vandeleurs,

Vandeleur, veteran labor mis-

with 27l votes, is well known to
the membership of Coast ALL
locals as one of the men who be-
trayed the San Francisco general

GREEN OPPOSES AUTO CODE,
WORK RELIEF
PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, d. C., Feb. =
Realizing that acceptance of the
Roosevelt work-relief program
by the American Federation of
Labor officialdom would mean
complete loss of his fast dwindl-
ing prestige with the rank and
file, William Green, ALL presi-
dent, is denouncing the social
security" bill, which sets $50 a
month standard for all relief
work.
Green's opposition to the
Roosevelt forced labor program
and his denunclation of the Auto
Code recently set down by the ad-
ministration is seen by observ-
ers as the sign of an approaching
split between the ALL bureau
Gratis and the Wall Street-cOntrOl-
led NRA set-up.
Makes Gesture
Green, no longer able to col
labOrate openly with the Roose-
welt government because of the
deep rank and file resentment to
his policies, Is now making a ges-
ture of opposition to the RoOse-
welt measures, and is maneuver-
ing to put himself at the head
of the growing strike wave, so as
to be able to kill 1t when it starts.
In the meanwhile John L. Lew
is, the notorious high-salaried
boss of the United Mine Workers
of America, is attempting to take
the blame for the vicious Auto
Code off the shoulders of ROose-
welt and place it on Donald Rich
berg, Roosevelt's advisor.
Lewis says Richberg deceived
Roosevelt" on the Auto Code. BY
blaming Richberg, Lewis hopes
to be able to retain Roosevelt's
faltering hold on the American
workers.

Chamber of Commerce on Thurs
day evening when the local pa
pers came out with a front page
announcement that the Eugene
Chamber of Commerce would not
grant the use of its hall to Com
munists for the Lenin memorial
meeting.
This was done, in spite of the
fact that the Communist Party
had paid the rent on the hall a
week before. Immediately the
Party got a permit from the City
to hold a meeting on the street
or in the park.
And the Communist Party held
its second Lenin memorial meet
ing on Saturday evening, Jan. rs,
in the city park amidst sabotage
and ridicule. An attempt by some
of the leading citizens to propo-
gate a vigilante-led, red-baiting
faction within the meeting failed
and the meeting was enthusiast
ically received by the workers.
