Roosevelt stated today that he would veto any measure to reduce the amount of the cuts imposed upon the #— veterans still further. The only re- | duction made was that of $50,000,006 | for Spanish-American war veterans, | which left the total yearly amount of the relief and compensation taken | from the veterans $400,000,000. | The house of representatives has already approved the Roosevelt de- mands, but the senate is balking be- cause one-third of the members of that body are up for re-election next year. They are afraid that if they do not at least put up a sham battle against all the cuts they will meet; with general hostility of the veterans. James F.

Ebbitt that men on city make-work would not go back to the factories where the rate of pay was léss. They asked a city wage cut. Ebbit denied that any man offered a jab in a fac- tory was kept on the Emergency Relief payroll. The men get three days work a week for a few months and another group ‘is then ~put on. But many never have had a day’s work since they registered. The men on the Ir- yington road job are on for six days a week for two weeks before they| must give way to| another| group. These are all family men, many of them skilled mechanics and workmen from such firms as Otis Elevator) Works, Spreckles Sugar Corp., Habir- shaw Cable (Phelps Dodge) and Smith Carpet Mills. |City Work Bureau Pays) Workers in Bogus Pay NEW YORK —In addition to other methods of robbing the workers, the | Emergency Work Bureau is charged with introducing counterfeit money to the workers employed at Fort Schuyler, Bronx. Two weeks ago, most of the work- evs employed at Fort Schuyler found two cqunterfeit quarters in their pay- | enyelope. Protests at this outrageous trickery were met with the pretext that the money was paid out as it was received from the bank, These workers are forced to work under military conditions, under ay army of siraw bosses. Even when only 10 or 12 men are working there are 5 or 6 slave drivers over them. Boss Won’t Spare 15 Minutes for Fire Drill to Protect Workers NEW YORK. — The carpenter shop in which I work is a fairly old one, being formerly used as a horse stable. The halls and stairway are made of wood. There are no fire escapes or any other means of exit, Because of these dangerous condi- tions, the Fire Department is sup- to hold occasional fire drills. On several occasions when the hell was rung here no one made a move to leave the place. When I asked the boss about this, I was told that every now and then he “slipped the boys from the Fire Department a few bucks to leave us alone.” “But suppose there really was a fire?” I asked. The boss merely shrugged his shoulders. This comes easy enough for him, since he spends very little of his time here and the machines are, of course, heavily insured! | Movie Picture Job Is Same Old Fraud | NEW YORK.—Here is a sample of how the newsreels manufacture their “prosperity” pictures. A few days ago the United Fruit Company hired 300 more workers. AS they marched into the dock to un- load the ship, cameramen took their picture. However, the usual crew takes about 8-10 hours to unload a ship. With the extra men, the work was done in about three hours and all got paid on three hour basis.

Note On Conditions. Conditions in some of the other departments of the Hotel dore are little, if any, better than those in the laundry. The employees throughout the hotel have been forced to accept a number of wage reduc- tions within the past year, and there are a number of employees who work for as low as $4 and $5 a week. In the Heip's Hall Department, the employees average about $8 a week on the basis of the 13-hour day and the split shift, This means that the employe come in to work at @ a.m., works a few hours, then must take a few hours off, after which he must return to complete the 13 hours. Sim- ilar conditions exist for the waiters, bus boys and others. According to the workers, the food that the employees receive is almost impossible to eat. There are special cooks whose only job is to prepare the food for the help.
