RELIEF FROM IVY, JUNE 16) Delegation 6 Go to} Board of Estimate As Charities Are Cut NEW YORK.—A mass delegation | of unemployed workers suffering from | the systematic cutting down of the city’s miserly relief program will appear before the Board of Estimate at its open hegring on Friday morn~ ing, Juné 10th. Local Unempipoyed Councils throughout New York are preparing for the election of dele- gates in the various breadlines, flop houses, agencies, and parks, where the workers have for the past few months been denied even the most wretched relief and where today the remaining few are being driven below the starvation level. ‘The delegation will insist upon the right to present the demands of the unemployed at an open hearing of the Board of Estimate, which was called in order to enable Commis- sioner Taylor of the Department of Public Welfare to make his dema- gogi¢c plea for $2,000,000 appropriation for relief. The jobless will demand 10 a week for families and $1 a day for single workers, and rehiring of all discharged emergency workers. ” Plenty for Geaft The Unemployed Council of Great- er New York, in calling for the or- ganization of the mass delegation, points out that the Tammany politi- cians in the city government are squandering millions of dollars in grait and corruption, distributing jobs among themselves and their rel- atives, and appropriating $196,000,000 for thhe bankers, while they plead the lack of funds as an excuse for refusing to help the unemployed. Privat Charity Ends It became known yesterday among those who went to the private char- fittes for unemployment relief that a | formal arrangement exists now in which all these charities, Catholic, Jewish and non-sectafian, agree to refuse all new cases applying for un- | empleyment relief. The decision of | the charities and “social service” or- ganizations is that they are not un- employment relief agencies, that it is the cities’ business to take care of the jobless, also that thé private | charities have no money for jobless | relief. The Brooklyn Bureau of Charities has shut off all new cases beginning June 1, ‘The Charity Organizations Socie- ties of Bronx and Manhattan has a limited budget; when that is gone, no more cases will be accepted. The Association for The Improve- ment of the Conditions of the Poor Says nothing about what it is going to do, but has for some time now actually refused to accept any new cases of starving families. The Jewish Social Service Associa- tion agrees to take no more cases which are in the class handled by the city’s “Horhe Relief Bureda,” NOW PLAYING!

Amalgamated Food Officials Faking a Strike at Krug’s NEW YORK.—With elections ap- proaching, the leadership in Bakers Loéal 3 of the Amalgamated Food Workers thought that they would have more chance if they were lead- ing @ strike. So they struek Krug’s Bakery, 95th Ave, and 139th St., Ja- maica, L.I. Out of 78 working only three came out at the call of the Amalgamated. Four pickets to walk up and down, two by two, are sent to the place and “the local is lead- ing a strike.” we rs of Local 3 should force their “officials to place the strike fund in the hands of the rank and file, should call the Krug Bakery workets to a meeting and give them a chance to work out their demands, and, if they vote to strike, should have mass picketing. Workers of Lo- cal 3 should make common cause with the Food Workers’ Industrial Union, which is a militant union fighting for better conditions. any of the war veteran’s organiza- tions or bureaus, or eligible for any kind of city or state old age or other pensions. ‘The Gatholic ‘Charities gives relief only in those parts of the city where | = | AMUSEMENTS the relief has a propaganda effect for the church or for Tammany. Swindle Corner Grocer The city’s Home Relief Bureau is olso giving an interesting example of the attempt to use relief funds for propaganda, but in this case the trick back-fired. The Home Relief, in- stead of buying groceries wholesale, gives orders to the tiny corner gro- ceries. It pays for these orders in youchers, not checks. For months the vouchers have not been cashed, and the small business men whs gladly aécepted them in the begin- ning, in the belief that a customer was a customer and business was going to be better now that Tam- many was on the job buying from them, are going bankrupt because they can’t get money for the city’s vouchers. When they storm the Home Relief Office, the police throw or'them out. WORKERS! Stick with your fellow workers! eum——, NOW PLAYING!

Nor did the socialist Mayor Hoan put forward such demands. Hoan, pride of the Socialist Patty, merely said in a manner not unlike that of the notorious Calvin Coolidge: “Public feeding destroys ambition and aids delinquency.” One point the mayors could agree on was that they wanted to shake responsibility of feeding the jobless off their own shoulders. The bur- den must be shifted, they agreed in| unison—to the backs of the workers, even more so than ever before. While the mayors agree to shift the burden of the crisis on the mas- ses they do not want to take the responsibility for this action. They propose that thé federal government do the job. The Walkers and the Hoans and the Murpheys, after sug- gesting the establishmént of a forced labor army by the War Department in line with the present war prepar- ations, have washéd their hands, so to speak, of the unemployment pro- blem.
