STRIKE OF SICK
STRANDS SHOPPERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 4-U.D-More
than 100000 workers and late
Christmas shoppers in Queens were
stranded for hours today as more
than 300 bus drivers and mainten-
ance men reported "sick" in a
sympathy strike supporting a week
old walk-out in another bus COM
pany.
Three lines, the North Shore.
Triboro and Schenck bus compa-
MES, started receiving "sick" calls
from employees at $50 a. m.
At the same time, two men were
arrested for damaging a bus of
the Green Lines, whose workers
struck last week. One hundred
policemen manned Green Lines We
hicles as the company maintained
service at IS per cent of normal
today. Police protection was pro-
vided after IS to 20 buses of the
company were reported disabled
by damage inflicted Saturday.

then left town. He has not been
heard from since, although efforts
have been made to find him.
The mother says that on the oc-
casion of his last parole she told
the court when he is paroled ne
will leave town. Why can't he be
made to bring his check to the
court so that I might get part of
it?"
The family is not eligible for vel
fare relief until birth certificates
can be secured. They are, and
have been, receiving assistance
from the Associated Charities.
This aid, Mrs. L. o. Ellis of the
Charities explained, is not much.
1--WE have so many cases it is hard
to get enough to 60 the rounds, "
she stated.
The aid given includes five dol
lars a week for food; $40 a month
for rent; the kiddies have been
given food and clothing; all have
been given medical examinations
and the mother was given pre-na-
tai and hospital care during the
birth of the infant.
Sources close to the situation
claim the original rent asked for
the room was $3.50 a month but
the Charities refused to pay it.
The mother has tried to do with
what she has been given and seems
to have principles which may be
lost if left to live under the pres
ent conditions. She has two broth
ers in South Carolina but explains
that both have large families and
are unable to give any aid. 4
Any person wishing to contribute
to the family can either call the
Associated Charities or add to a
fund already started by Rev.
Caudill at the Y. M. c. A. First
requisite should be food then ade-
quate living facilities.

Our Lord, Jesus Christ was borr

six brothers and sisters ranging
