The bosses’ press is full of details concerning what th so-called Committee on Unemployment is doing. you got to know that a Committee was established by the city, the first thing it done was to form another one to take care of the apple sales business and the price went up from $2 to $2.25. : Then another committee was formed only recently (The Lloyd) Committee for Unemployment Relief. They say 320 more men were put to work at “Made Jobs” (Made in U.S.A.). So out of 250,000 jobless they furnish work for 320 men, and these are only part time. Three days a week at $3 & day is the rates paid to these work- ers and you only get work for 3 days at a time. They claim there are 3,220 men now working on these “cre- ated jobs.” So figure it out how long a worker has to wait for a job. Great Misery. But one peculiar thing exists here and that is that all kinds of money collecting campaigns are going on for millions of dollars and yet if you | go around the neighborhood of work- ers you will find the most squalid | misery ever imaginable. Whole fam- ilies starving, workers being evicted, thrown out in the cold with large numbers of children. On one street only, Bancraft St., three evictions on one side of the block took place. One family was thrown out in the street, whatever furniture they had was sold and the rest smashed out on the side- walk and taken away by the kids before we found out what hap- pened. The family next door was told to move out. This family was composed of two parents and seven children who could not go to school for lack of clothing and food. When I got there the kids were crying for bread. The light and gas were shut off and there was no coal in the house. They said that the breadman and milkman refused to bring bread and milk. Right next door there is a Negro family facing the very same situation. These workers are beginning to see the cause of all this suffering and quick, too. I went down there and told them about the Foster meeting, and the whole family came there. —P. B.

Many are in a critical condition. While the boss press admits that there are 26 of these victims. the belief among nearer to 100. The receiving hospital was overflowed, extra cots had to be brought in. This clearly indicates that the number is far above 25. This poisoning of jobless workers with stale putrid food gives a true picture of the hypocrisy of Mayor Murphy and his claims that the un- employed workers, are “adequatety” taken care of. So rotten are the conditions at the “relief” kitchins and flop houses that many workers prefer to go hungry or sleep in the cold than go near these boss charity rackets. The growing mood of the workers for struggle against these outrageous conditions was well expressed in yes- terday’s demonstration in this city, when thousands of unemployed and employed, white and Negro workers, demonstrated against the bosses’ hun- ger system and Murphy fakery and lies. tee baa By VITA, KAY Irrigation ditches in California are the workers is that the number is/ reservoirs of milk right now so that large dairy farms may keep up high prices of milk. W. F. Cordes, presi- dent of Marins Dairymen’s Milk Co., states in the Feb. 17th Los Angeles Times: “Hundreds of gallons of milk are being dumped into irrigation ditches by producers as a result of the milk price war now being wages. And workers’ children are being de- prived of this necessary food because the big dairy trust want to keep prices high, so they can squeeze the last penny out of the impoverished work- ers. Stewart, commissioner of labor statistics, in a government report, says the wholesale dairymen pay the farmers only 4 to 5 cents per quart. C. J. Marshal, traffic manager of the Southern Pacific Railroad, on Feb. 19. announced a reduction of traffic rates .on milk to the extent of two thir of the former prices. Still retail prices in California are from 15 to 20 c@hts a quart. It isn’t hard to figure out who gets the difference, Not only are the workers exploited on the job, but the capitalist trusts of all kinds keep up the price of food, milk, etc. so that the suffering of the workers and their children becomes extreme. Mexican, Filipino, American as well as other unemployed workers have to watch their children grow pale and anemic in the “golden” state for the Murphy’s Kitchen Where Jobless Were Poisoned POISONED DETROIT JOBLESS IN CRITICAL CONDITION; CALIFORNIA BOSSES DUMPING MILK lack of milk, bread, meat and eggs to keep up high prices. Even the con- which are being, dumped and wasted servative congressional investigation reported that retail prices have not kept apace with the declining whole- sale prices all over the country. California, therefore, isn’t the only state that lets its workers starve. From coast to coast we find starva- tion prevalent. Is it any wonder that many young workers are standing in line at New York City hospitals ready to sell their blood for transfusions? To feed hungry families, workers are ready to do anything regardless of harmful physical results. As a result of the unemployment situation there has been an increase of 300 per cent in this fleld of making a living. The “socialist” Jewish Daily Forward, which showed this picture in a recent Sunday edition, has no comment to make on this outrageous situation. This clearly shows us that the yellow socialists are in alliance with the bos- |ses in their endeavor to hush up or belittle the national depression. Unemployed workers, underpaid workers, wil you let your families grow pale and’ anemic? Will you let the parasites sap your energy to the last drop of blood? Join the Unemployed Councils, manrs of the state senate. The sen- ate and house of representatives pur- posely adjourned half an hour prior te the arrival.of the workers meeting that was held on the capitol steps. The speakers denounced the actions of the boss politicians. All the city police were out with riot guns and bombs.
