Labor leaders have accused what
they called "the reactionary admin
tration" of Gov. John w. Bricker,
backed by property interests" as
being responsible for the periodic
exhaustion of relief funds.
Until food orders began to be cur
tailed about one week ago, Cleve-
land was spending approximately
$330,000 monthly for direct relief.
None Will Starve
Although 10000 men and women
were on curtailed rations. Mayor
Harold H. Burton gave assurances
that none would starve.
Burton stopped the food orders OF
5000 single pedsons and 1000 child

could feed children. Relief funds
were virtually gone and 1t appeared
that none would be available before

The mayor summoned his cabinet
into emergency session and asked
Congress of Industrial Organizations
officials to cooperate in feeding the

to employ as many relief clients as
possible. Previously he had asked for
