The shoe strikers who have tied up practically every factory in Lewiston and Auburn, fighting wage cuts and discrimination, voted again at their big mass meeting yesterday not to go back to work until their demands are won. For five days now Governor Elect Brann and Senator Elect Holmes, both Democratic Party leaders, have been negotiating with the employers and the strike leadership. The nego- tiations resulted in an “offer” Satur- day by 12 shoe companies which is ne offer at all. Sidney Norton, who has become the recognized leader of the strike and until now has handled most of the negotiations, wavered, as he has done | several times in the past, and stated to the press that the twelve men fired for organizing, which discharge started the strike, would apply for their jobs and if they got them the strike would be over. “If tl not ‘hired, I wouldn’t say wl happen,” he said. Brann and “Father” Marchand, a Catholic priest of St. Peters church, urged the men to go back. The mass meeting gave an indignant refusal, and declared they would stay out on strike. Norton, then, under pressure of the workers, began to take a stand for continuation of the strike.

An important step in the fight for relief and insurance will be the enlarged meeting of the National Committee of the Unemployed Councils of the United States, which will be held October 9 and * By GEORGE COOPEX, TOLEDO, O., Sept. 25. — Ravaged by a form of starvation sickness sim- ilar to the dreaded pellagra, the working, class babies and children of Toledo are being murdered by Mayor Thacher and the welfare ad- ministration. While the unctuous Reverend Rowsey, welfare head, as- sures the capitalist press that there have been no complaints about the food rations, and insists that he could himself live on the repulsive are ‘scrap he forces the workers to live on, the hospitals of Toledo are full of sick and dying children, a whole generation of them being slaughtered as surely as if they were cut down with axes. Nothing appears in the capitalist press except a few daily stories of children dying, with no mention of the reason; but in one hospital alone, St. Vincent's, there are five hundred babies and children sick with this starvation disease. I learned of this from a Toledo worker, Dewey Miller, who had just buried a three year old boy, dead from this disease, while his little daughter, a year and a half old, was now lying in the same hospital, stricken with the same disease. “It was plain murder”, he said. “ little boy couldn’t live on the diet of flour, potatoes, and rice, the welfare has been giving us. No children could live on that mess. I took him to a doctor, who gave me a certifi- cate showing the boy had to have 10 in Chicago, * s something else to eat. But neither the social service nor the welfare de- partment would give me the food he needed. Now he’s dead, and they might as well have killed him, the result’s the same.” 500 Cases In Hospital. He was fearful for his little daugh- ter. A nurse in the hospital had told him that most of the children brought in succumbed to the disease; it was from her that he learned that there were over five hundred cases in that hospital alone. But everyone in the hospital tried to cover up the fact that the disease was a starvation sickness. When Miller asked the nuns, who run the hospital what the disease was, they answered blandly, “We don't know.” Miller demanded an autopsy, but the only report given him .was “acute diarrhea.” Since it had already been admitted that all the children in the hospital were suf- fering from the same disease, why a sudden epidemic of “acute diarrhea?” I found that the relief ‘situation made it all too clear why these chil- dren were dying. For nine months, week in, week out, this has been the steady diet of 17,000 families receiv- ing relief in Toledo: flour, sugar, ‘My | cracked rice, potatoes, oleomargarine, oats, canned milk, lard. This, plus bread and, for meat, about a pound of bacon or bologna once a week for a whole family, constitutes the diet of Toledo's unemployed. Needless to say, even these items, making a ter- PELLAGRA, HUNGER DISEASE OF SOUTH, FILLS ribly unbalanced diet, are doled out | in quantities which mean that fami- lies are hungry when they get up from the table. No salt or pepper or any kind of seasoning,, no veg- etables or eggs, no butter, not once in nine months has this diet been changed. Is it any wonder that chil- dren die? A pint of milk per baby is provided, but no child under three is counted in the rationing of food. Thus, in a family like Dewey Mil- ler’s numbering six children, three of whom were under three, eight months had to be fed on a starvation ration designed for a family of five! The Welfare Department. Fresh from talking to the bereaved father, accompanied a committee from the the Unemployed Councils to the office of the welfare department. A Mrs. Miller received us, talking and looking like a thousand other welfare officials in a thousand other cities: prim, bored, with that stale look of embalmed virginity, a mincing man- ner, and an injured outrageous case of suffering and starvation. She had ready solutions for all problems. Was a worker being put out on the streets? Let him move his family in with friends, relatives or anybody. Was a family starving? Let them wait for SS investigation taking three weeks,fafter which they might be put on relief. Children were unable to go to school because they had no clothes and shoes? Why she was thinking of running a campaign sometime soon: to collect old clothing. But Mrs. Miller's fav- orite solution for all problems is Beach House and the Juvenile Del- inquent’s Home. Beach House is a detention home for prostitutes, but it is more than that. If a family is evicted, the city officials, instead of providing them another home, prefer |to send the mother and her babies to the Beach House, the older chil- dren to the Juveniue Delinquent’s Home, and leave the father on the streets, Mothers to Prison. “Do you mean you send decent workingclass mothers to a prison for prostitutes, and poor children to live among hardened young gangsters?” I asked Mrs. Miller, she answered. there”.
