HUNGRY PICKET
ADDITIONAL FUNDS
ARE GRANTED


CHICAGO-It took a demon
stration of hungry UNEMPLOYED
men LII: and women members of the
iilnols Workers Alliance to force
the Chicago City Council to mass >
tax levy for relief. While police on
the outside were trying to disnerso
the picket line around the citv hall
the councilmen on the inside lost
no time in voting on the lew al
though they had been evadinS the
issue for weeks.
The relief situation was so had
closed and food orders couIo NOT
IN chicago that relief stations were
De mailed for lack of postage. I'm
employed men and women besieg-
ed the homes of council members
and a special meeting was called.
:. Members of the Workers AL
nance damned the council chamber
and shouted, Owe want cash re-
let," until they were thrown out
by several hundred police officers
hastily summoned by Malvor Kelly.
When they started picketing OUT
side of the city hall, mounted
policemen rode on the side walk in
an attempt to dispense the crowd
with the use of their clubs and
their horses hOofS.
INV Swererofqry-sc adDvs aiH
According to relief administra-
lions, this additional revenue added
to the city's share of the sales tax
will still be insufficient to cover
the needs of Chicago's unemploy-
ment.
A large demonstration is plan
ned for July IL in front of the
otf!ces of the Illinois Emergency
Relief Commission, and the city
hall and local relief stations will
be picketed every day according
to a decision by the Workers
Alliance.
Paul Porter, Labor secretary of
the Socialist party, said "The Chi
cago incident is molly one example
OF the scores of such Incidents
which will take place in this coun-
tgy. Relief will be cut. The unem-
ployed will starve. Politicians will
dilly-dally until the UNEMPLOYED
exert pressure. First clubs will be
used against those on relief, but if
that fails to halt them, additional
funds will be hastily found. Cen
ulne unemployment insurance and
necessary public works at uion
wages is the only solution under
our present economic system.

HOTEL LAUNDRIES
NOW ORGANIZED

The Laundry Union, Local 1873.
has successfully negotiated ....an
agreement with two of the city's
largest hotels, the ..RaddisOn and
the NicOllet, by which the hotels
agree to increase wages from &c to
19c per hour, with a shortening Of
the work week to As hours. a great
difference from the previous aver
age work week of so hours. The
union is recognized as the ..reU-
resentative of the workers, and
seniority rights are provided, -
These two hotels for years had
been VIGOROUSLY anti-hnion, cOnse-
quently this agreement is q splen-
did victory for the union. From
this victory the union intends To 90
to the other hotels which have
laundries and offer the agreement.
The same as the commercial laun-
dries operate under. There is a
great prospect of success.

MOTOR EMPLOYEES RESENT
CHISELING EMPLOYERS ACTS

Employees of the United Motor
Company went out on strike last
Tuesday, the years hottest day
when the mercury climbed to 1O7. s.
degrees, and commenced picketing
thecompany's store, which is chain
in a link of like stores that The
General Motors Corp. operates in
several large cities. The workers
demand that the employers sign
the agreement drawn up between
the company and the employees two
weeks ago, in which the company
agreed to recognize the Machin-
lists Union, Local 1872, as the rep
resentative of the workers. The
company had failed to live up to
the agreement, and the strike re-
suited. If the strikers militancv
does not wilt under the intense
heat, and there is little likelihood
Of this considering the first davis
picketing, there is a good prospect
Of an early and favorable settle
ment for the workers.

CHRISTOPHER WAR
RACES In COUNTY

Splendid results are being OBJ
tanned in the destruction of grass
hOppers by those who are spread
ing the poisoned bait prepared at
the w. P. A. perfect at Reserve.
District Extension Agent, C. H.
Peterson, long experienced in
grasshopper control work, says
that farmers in the Medicine Lake.
Reserve, Antelope and Dagmar
and Coalridge areas should watch
the few late fields of grain that
are still green, particularly millets
and corn by putting out bait,
should hoppers attack the fields,
better still put the bait out on ad-
jacent fields where they maybe
found now before they move on
to the few remaining green spots.
Every hopper killed now before
they start laying eggs, DESTROYS
thousands of potential hoppers
next year.
The w. P. A. Administration ex-
poets to maintain mixing crew at
Reserve up to August first hence
everyone who may need poisoned
bait should secure it while the
crew are mixing at Reserve.
Best results are obtained by US
ing one Of the MANY different
types of mechanical spreaders that
were used in 1884.

sent in carload Of bran this week
which was unloaded at Reserve. as

pared bait for those who apply
now.
