Hungry Should Patiently Starye. | The Tammany mayor, who has a| special flair for the grotesque, de- livered one of his usual ignorant and half-literate tirades, Pretending that his program of black-jack and for the maintenanee of was for the ba: or praised the “needy have waited patiently persons who for aid pro-| | vided from taxpayers’ funds.” The| “needy persons” who will get the money are the bankers. The unem- ployed are being more and more de- prived of relief as the Tammany| slush fund runs short. | Handles “Spiritual’ Relief Well. Not only were the children’ tor- tured by enforced marching, but they had to endure further agonies by listening to O’Brie’s twaddle.

The gem of his speech calculated to cover up his services to the bank- | ers in his robber tax program came when the mayor said: “With Social- | ism, Communism and atheism de- | manding—demanding, not pleading| | —for our cooperation, and threaten-| | ing, with it all, we need faith incul- cated in the souls of the boys ea | the girls to save the city, to save| | the nation, yes, and to save the fu-| | ture.” | The mayor had not yet recovered from numerous demands of the un-| employed among whom the Com- munists are playing a leading role.

How much sympathy the admin- erans is seen from the fact that leaders of the Roosevelt administra- tion are openly attacking them by broadcasts on national radio hook- ups.

S. Government Aids Sweatshop Owners by Giving Them Contracts «| State I Se By F.-G.- PHILADELPHIA, “Pa—The strike struggles of the Pennsylvania work- ers against sweatshop conditions have washed up to-the surface the dirtiest assortment of government linen yet displayed. in a capitalist state. In every mill district, from Allentown to Philadelphia, the child- exploiters are hiding: under the mantle of the American Legion, state factory examiners and President Roosevelt's cousins. No fewer than six government bodies“have partici- pated in the game of gelf-glorifica- tion through investigating sweatshop small clothing shops out of a known ‘oup of more prominent sweatshops numbering ‘at least thirty-six! The three cited shops are under direct supervision of the Quartermas- ter's Department which had extended its operations, under pressure of war preparations. At its official depot selected workers, endorsed by their respective ward leaders, are favored with a salary of $3.25 a day, to the Longwear Mfg. Co., the Fabric Value Clothers, Inc. and the Goodimate Co. In all three shops, workers have been receiving as low as $3 and $5 per week. When the Quartermaster’s Depot could no longer absorb any more “favored sons” on the long waiting list, the Democratic election districts shook with resentment. Government Asked to Provide Scabs As soon as the Goodimate Co, was struck by the schoolboys and girls working there day and night, the Democratic ward. leaders seized the | opportunity of storming President Roosevelt and Postmaster General Farley with pleas on behalf of their army for Quartermaster jobs, thus seeking to provide the company with strike-breakers and to make good their electioneering promises, The following extract from a letter addressed to Farley and signed by John F. Lodato, President of the |40th Ward Italo-American Demo- cratic Club of Philadelphia, throws |} some additional light.on the man- | agement of the New. Deal: “As you well know; the Quarter- master Depot in Philadelphia has made an appeal for men to work and I am sure that, these jobs were filled only by applicants with let- ters of recommendations from Re- publican leaders, The applicants recommended by Democrats were not not even able-to get in and apply for the jobs... “Such things must ‘stop. I am | not asking that only Democrats should get jobs, but at least give them a square deal-or an even chance for an honest living. . . . “Unless something will be imme- diately done to correct the faults of the present leader, I am afraid that the harmony and the ideals of the Philadelphia Democrats will be destroyed... .” Immediately following such de- mands for “harmony,” Jocal army of- ficials announced in.the: Philadelphia Record that government contracts with the struck shops will be can- celed . .. if strikes cause any delay. In this brazen manner the New Deal- ers prepared themselves-on one hand, | to placate public opinion as to their) position on the sweatshop scandal, and on the other hand to threaten the child-strikers with a lockout! T. U. U. L. Leads Fight The only flaw in this plot to annex the three shops to thé political spoils- men with the connivance of the gov- children, is the remarkable heroism and stamina which “the kids are dis- playing in the course of their strug- ted States. Heretofore.the governor has had to be a ‘résident of the Islands for not less than three years. This move is made,to impose upon the Hawaiians someone_not so likely to be influenced by them in any way. Roosevelt to Take Vacation. With all the machinery of govern- ment operating full blast against the workers, the farmers, the veterans and the toiling masses generally, Roosevelt is planning to start his long summer vacation, while his vic- tims bear the enornious burdens im~- posed upon them by the most vicious administration in the history of the country. Wisc. Hunger Marchers Walk 18 Miles First Day WAUKESHA, Wis., June 9.—The Milwaukee and West Allis contingents of the state hunger march, comprising Columns 1 and 2, arrived here yes- terday. They marched 18 miles, covering the distance on the first day in schedule time, though the walking was made more difficult by the intense heat on the highway. The city officials refused to supply food, but has permitted the use nvestigation of of Sweatshop Conditions | heme-to Cover Up on Child Labor gle, tionary Needle Trades Workers’ In- dustrial Union (T.U.U.L.), which has already scored several successes for the fledgling militants, to lead them ever forward to wider demands and organizational stability. Roosevelt Family Trotted Out. The failure of army threats to dampen the ardor of the young work- ers has infected a host of fellow- workers in so many additional shops about town that the bosses’ govern- ment agents have been compelled to trot out none other than Mr. Roose- velt’s cousin, Mrs, N. Roosevelt, who is daily photographed by the paid press as she mingles with the young picketers in an attempt to curry fa- yor. The other day Mrs. Roosevelt reinforced herself with several other grand old dames, who dottered up and down in front of a sweatshop, “pick- eting” with a banner of their Demo- cratic organization, so that the for- gotten men and children won't think too harshly of their “pal,” Mr. Roose- velt. Just as the strike wave which threatens to engulf the entire city’s network of sweatshops is spreading, accompanied by a last-moment walk- out of about 2,000 workers in the Washable suits and knee-pants in- dustry, the executive committee of the Philadelphia County Council, American Legion, rushed into con- ference. Wants to Use Vets Against Strikers. I, A. Karam, ranking official and self-styled “employment officer” of the Legion, moved that the War Department “take such immediate action as would admit qualified vet- erans to employment in the Quarter- master Division.” This well-adver- tised contact man of the government and bosses has been running around for some weeks in a frantic effort to bring the rank-and-file veterans into the breach created by the walkouts of the child laborers and thus to save face with his disgruntled, destitute followers, while helping the sweat- shop hawks out of a tight place. laboration on the part of the Legion, State and Army officials is only the barest index of how the capitalists plan to “co-ordinate” industry in war time. The bloodthirsty spearpoint, in the present case of the sweatshop and army contracts, being specially di- rected against the toiling youth, has | Never before raised to such a high level the outstanding responsibility of youth work which confronts not alone | the Young Communist League, but the Party itself. It is insufficient to permit the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union to carry the brunt of this work which cries aloud for po- litical orientation. The sporadic vic- tories which the sweatshop children are registering against the employ- ers must be at once welded into a mighty ramrod against the govern- ment itself, and only by placing the Party foremost in these struggles can this burning necessity be realized.

The officials of the locals are call- they hope to pit the workers against each other and further split the ranks.
