FERA TO PUT
FARMERS OUT
INTO THE COLD
1000 On Relief To Be Sent
To Alaska

WESTINGHOUSE. 28.-Re-
lief administration officials to-
gether with officials Of the depart
ment Of the interior are at present
working out plan to send 1000
farmers from the drought area up
into Alaska to work out some kind
of a living Independent of relief.
it was reported here yesterday.
About 200 families are to be
moved to Matanuska valley, near
Anchorage. Many others are sup
posed to follow.
The plan, which was explained to
members of the house subcomnit-
tee on appropriations, does not
state that farmers will be moved
by force. It seems that persuasion
is the method used by the depart
ment. Glowing reports are given
of "excellent farm land" in Alaska.

toned as having the chest land in
the territory"

DEATHS In C.C.C.
CAMPS REACH 752
Government Neglect Is the
Cause for Death
and Disease

WASHINGTON.-More than TSP
young fellows will never return
from the Civilian Conservation
Corps camps.
Deaths through direct govern
ment negligence rose so during the
third enrolment period that they
exceeded the total of deaths of the
two previous enrollments. It was
also admitted by Robert Fechner,
CCC director, in his report to
Roosevelt, the president, that in
the period of enrolment up to
September, 1884, S,44S youths in
the camps needed hospital treat
ment every week.
The lies of the brass-hats which
appeared in the press recently, in
which health conditions were prais-
ed to the skies, were blasted by
this report which has received very
little or no publicity elsewhere.
Newspapers were quick to quote
army officers as stating that "the
boys health compares favorably
with that of the men in the ar
my"
If that is true then there must
be hell raging in the form of in
juries and deaths through accidents
and disease among the soldiers.
In the period Of the first two
CCC camp enrollments 316 deaths
were recorded. In the third, ur
to September, 1884, 436 died. In
the first two enrollments injuries
came at the rate of 1900 a week
in the third 3,448 a week. These are
limited government figures and
are to be considered as a minimum
By this date there are approx
mately 1000 deaths in the camps
There is not the slightest doubt
that the government is responsible
IN most cases for the deaths and
injuries.
IL is admitted that most of the
deaths through accidents" were
those by auto. Incompetent driv-
ers of CCC trucks, hired through
"pull" and patronage, the absence
of seats and guard rails, are re-
sponsible for a large part of the
death toll.
Many young men contracted re-
spiratory diseases as a result OF
having to work in all kinds OF
weather. Bad living conditions and
lousy food aided the spread OF
pneumonia, spinal meningitis and
ptomaine poisoning. Inadequate
safety instruction in the proper
handling of tools is also a cause
of the high death rate.

Then and NOW

which he is given S5 years to pay
off at a rate of 31a per cent in
terest. Oh yes, he gets nine acres
of lard as his own, especially af-
ter the $4,000 is all paid.
Burt Sell, a farmer who lives
within a few miles of this pro-
iect, asked a question which is
mighty hard to answer: a"How in
hell" he said, "can these suckers
make any kind of a go on nine
acres with $4,000 debt, when we
went broke on 100 acres which we
got for $16?" I referred him to
Harry Hopkins, chief of the FERA
for an answer.
Another Relief Trap
Here is the way the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
is encouraging the setting up Of
more subsistence farms: In certain
Nebraska counties where the
drought struck real bad, the FERA
is offering to loan $1,000 to those
who want to farm: $500 to pur,
chase maximum of 5 horses; $500
to purchase a maximum of 6 cows
$500 for machinery and rent. II
addition, the applicant must take
a seed loan by mortgaging his croI
and entire possessions. He is Civ
en- five years to pay at Az pc
cent interest.
Farmers Get Guardian
During the period of indebted
ness, a guardian is appointed wht
supervises all purchases which tn
indebted person makes. No pur
chase may be made without hi
consent.
Whoever "takes advantage" Of
a proposition of this sort which
has been worked out by the fed
eral government, is not only &C,
cepting hopelessly impossible con
ditions as far as repayment is con
cerned, but also is accepting a per
sonal loss Of liberty and hurilat
ing subsection which no one shoul,
accept. Surely those responsible
for such a plan are but one jun
from open fascist dictatorship.

BOARDING HOUSE
IS RELIEF RACKET
AT GREAT FALLS
gy HANS RASMUSSEN

slately, rumors are being circu-
lated in Plentywood that in Great
Falls single persons on relief are
getting $50 per month. Whoever
is spreading these stories must
be either grossly misinformed or
is doing it for some definite pu--
pose.
At Great Fails workers aud far
mers have their relief troubles too,
and plenty of them. They are
striking, holding big meetings and
are demonstrating, and not only in
Great Falls but at the state cap
ital, in Butte and many other plac-
es as well.
From information we were able
to gather while we were there re-
Gently, it seems that relief at
Great Falls is being used as an
excellent racket by which people
with the proper pull are able to
make large profits. We found
that the distribution Of relief there
is as unfair and discriminatory as
in many other places, including
Sheridan county.
Our attention was called as tO
what single persons were receiv,
ing. A single man is allowed fol
groceries, $3.50; for clothing, So
for incidentals, $1.25; for coal
$500, and for light, S1.0O, making
q total of $19.45 per month. How
ever, if two single people move to.
gether and batch they are allowed
only around $19 per month. But

In statement to the Farmers
Press, Battien indicated that he
had had no knowledge of the diff
ferent cases brought to his atten-
ton by this paper. He promised
that all the cases mentioned would
be Immediately looked after.
"In many cases." the Press stat
ed, "like that Of Betty's parents,
relief clients are awaiting checks
for past work and have been re-
fused aid until these checks ar
rive from Bismarck" Delay, red
tape and more delay often reduces
their existence to bare subsis-
tence."
Mother Afraid to Talk
The Press continues its story:
'Betty's dad is working on q
crawling project. His checks
have been held up in the state
office. Meanwhile the parents and
their nine children have had to
apply for additional direct aid.
"The mother is reticent. She is
a little afraid to talk to her
visitor who had come to learn the
actual conditions. IF she com.
plains-who knows they may
stop her relief altogether.
GAIL nine children in the bare
little household have been sick
First it was chicken pox. Their

"Even getting those oranges
wasn't easy, Betty's mother viii
tell you. She brought the doctor
statement to the relief Office
where it was taken to FERAdmin
istrator E. r. Battien, who re.
fused to fill It."
To the Press the relief admins
traitor states at the same time that
he had not known of these cases.

"Her mother-in-law, although in
straitened circumstances herself

"This provides nourishmenr for

haired boy who plays cheerfullv On
the floor, while his mother, tears
running down her cheeks, tells of
their difficulties while she heats
some of the milk for the baby.
"The little boy, observing her
actions, says, Mamma, may / have

"And the little mother pours for
him half a cup of the precious
liquid. She has little else in the
house for her children-half a loaf
of bread, a pound of rice, some
potatoes and a pound of sugar.
"On cold nights the little family
often shivers in its scantv blankets
and comforters.

"In the files which deal with
this case at the relief office are
shown the recommendations for

vestigator who recognized the need
of this family for federal aid, and
who realized that the young father
and mother and their two children
could not live on checks coming
from Bismarck.

Mrs. w. Johnson and little son
Dickie returned last Monday from
Minot where Dickie had been a
patient at a hospital. About five
weeks ago the child fell down cei-
lar at his home here, breaking his
leg close to the hip joint. He was
taken to the Plentywood doctors
and kept there a few days. The
location of the break, however
made unusual difficulties and il
was decided necessary to take him
where there was more complete E.
quipment for caring for the bro
ken part. He was then taken to
Minot where the injury received
needed treatment. Both parents
accompanied Dickie to Plentywooo
and then to Minot. Later Mr.
Johnson returned home, Mrs. John

F. E. r. A. ADULT
EDUCATION

A committee representing the F. E,
R. A. teachers appeared before the
Council with a petition requesting that
the labor movement support the con
tinuation Of the Adult Education Pro
gram that was SO enthusiastically re-
ceived last winter. The petition re-
quests a re-opening Of the F. f. r. A..
Schools. Members OF the committee
stated that three thousand registra-
tons had been made by adults for this
type Of education. Most OF the teach
ers have attended some university and
some of them have degrees. A dele
gate from the Teachers Union an
nounced that their union had endorsed
the plan and it was also reported that
the Miners Union had endorsed it. In
some cities the Adult Education, under
the F. +. R. A. has become an estab-
lished part Of the adult policy Of the
community. The labor movement is
greatly interested in adult education,
and it is hoped that these classes will
be established on a much wider scale
when the term reopens.
