Gnens Fight to Improve Conditions CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 1—That prisoners in the Bridewell prison re- volted on August 16 against the mis- erable jail diet was disclosed for the first. time today by the International Labor Defense. The whole north cell section or- ganized a demonstration for more and better food. They refused to touch food for a whole day, throwing the slops that was given them into the faces of the guards. Following the demonstration the prisoners were confined to: their cells for a week on bread and water and even their lawyers were not allowed to visit them. Use 10 Social Workers to Hand Out $65 a’ Week Relief “Liberal” Mayor of Little Rock Wants Workers to Starve, Help Realty Lords (By a Worker Correspondent) LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—Miss Lyons, of the Littie Rock Social Welfare y that the Bureau receives from $60 to $65 a week from private contributiens. This is all the funds that are given. The city of Little Dek, and Pulaski County, in which Little Rock is located, have not turned over any of the “poor funds” for over a year, on the plea that the two treasuries are empty. Mothers’ pen-® sions are also being discontinued by the county. daughter, who takes care of her mother; the son-in-law, who has BRIDEWELL JAIL, | / day week, by the camps from New Miss Lyons admits that 10,000 peo- ple are totally out of work in Little Rock alone, and adds that “If a fam- ily is getting in $2.50 to $3 a week they are well fixed.” The Welfare Bureau fs giving out stale and mouldy bread collected trem the bakeries and buttermilk do- nated by the dairies. Also, there is a little government flour being given. In the spring the bureau gave out seeds, expecting the workers to starve until the gardsns came on. Most of these workers live in little shacks and have no garden space in which to plant the seeds. At present. there are only 700 on the welfare list. When asked about the rumor that the city of Little Rock was going to borrow $50,000 from the Finance Reconstruction Corp. Miss Lyons said that this was only a “slender hope.” She added that Mayor Knowlton was not willing to do any- | thing that would increase the tax rate. This mayor is a reputed “lib- eral”—and has practically refused to borrow this money for the starving Little Rock workers for fear the big real estate companies will have to pay it back. A case taken before Miss Lyons was refused aid on the Ground that “the family will not do anything for themselves,” This family is composed of a Negro worker who hobbles around on a cane, as both of his legs were broken and not set properly; his wife, who has been completely paralyzed for almost six years; their NEGRO WORKER IN DETROIT KILLED Slave-holding Policy Is Pushed by Gov’t BULLETIN DETROIT, Sept. 1—One Negro was killed, and another wounded by a constable, Harold Bowers, when workers gathered to defend a fel- low-worker’s furniture from the constable’s attack.

The crippled worker has been wait- ing for two years for his pension from Swift & Co. He worked for them for 16 years, and during that time paid $1 a week for “insurance and pension.” This family is threatened with eviction, yet Miss Lyons said that the Social Welfare could not do any- thing for them. Yet the social work- ers wear fine clothes and almost ev- ery one of them bought a new car this year. It takes 10 social workers to administer the $60 or $65 a week, the loaves of stale bread, and the gallons of unsaleable buttermilk. JOBLESS ‘SMOKE OUT SOCIALIST 1,500 in Milwaukee De- mand Relief MILWAUKEE, Wis.—A_ total of 1,500 workers demonstrated last Mon- day at the 2ist Street and National Avenue Relief Station,- under the leadership of the South Side Unem- ployed Council. In spite of cops at the Relief Station, and numerous squad cars cruising around, they forced their way into the Relief Sta- tion and submitted their demands. When one of the workers was re- fused relief, over 400 marched down |to Socialist Supervisor Tucker's house, where a meeting was held, with around 1,000 workers in atten- dance. The meeting elected a dele- gation to see Tucker who, one of the dozen or more cops said, was not in, but all of a sudden Mr. Tucker came out to the door because he found it ‘The Internationa Labor Defense had received many complaints from the prisoners in the Bridewell telling of mistreatment, bad food and un- sanitary conditions. A special inyes- tigation committee was sent to the jail and many prisoners were inter- viewed and the following facts were brought out: Truth Revealed The Bridewell holds 3,000 prison- ers. Food for the past three months has been getting worse every day- The prison officials were attempting to feed 3,000 people with 90 pounds of beans per meal. When meat was fed the prisoners, 90 pounds of liver was used for the entire population. In addition to this the food is not fresh. Many get sick from it. Many go hungry. Continue Investigation. The international Labor Defense is now organizing a committee to con- tinue the investigations of the con- ditions in the Bridewell and other county and city jails and prisons. A great number of the prsioners are held for participating in eviction | fights, for helping to bring furniture | back into the homes of jobless work- ers after the marshal had thrown it on the street. The International Labor Defense is calling a series of protest meetings where the facts of the miserable con- ditions of the prison will be exposed and where better conditions will be demanded. more advisable to listen this time. In this quite strong Socialist ward, with many workers present who | voted for Tucker, several speakers— jincluding Carl Lester, Communist candidate for Congress in the 4th District—exposed the Socialist Party, and especially the attitude of Mr. | Tucker toward the unemployed.
