F. of L. Laces Struggles for Immediate Relief Led by Com- munists Force Issuing of More Food By VERA SAUNDERS Tammany Hall, running the ad- “ainistration of New York City for Fears, has done nothing to improve the conditions of the children of the working class inside of school, or out- side of school. Under the administra- tion of Tammany Hall, not only has child labor been on the increase, but all the conditions making for child larbor — reduced income to family, | Hittle or no relief, higher living costs ~—have become more acute, And Tam- | many gangsters and police do not stop at using violence and terror against bootblacks, if these starved kids fail to pay graft. Under the pretext of “cutting| down” administration expenses, the| public school system has béen hard- | est hit. this yea is terrible. Teachers have from forty to fifty children or more.| Many schools have as high as fifty-| four children in a classroom, Outside } of the physical discomforts, it is im- possible for the teacher to effectively | handle such a large number of chil-| dren. For workers’ children in the} city we want smaller classes. We want new schools, we want sanitary conditions in the schools, and we want the assignment of every teacher in New York to classes. In many schools the class rooms and play- grounds are so overcrowded — with the squeezing of three shifts into one school—that there is no place for children to eat lunch, or have play- ground room. Every available space is converted into a classroom. This is the line of the Tammany adminis- tration. An administration of a city should take care of the welfare of its young. But in New York City schools under the administration of Tammany more As a result, the overcrowding | and more children faint from the lack of food; the amount of relief and hot lunches has been substan- tially out; clothing for the children and other necessities are given very sparingly, if at all. The norurishment of the children in pub- lic schools has reached such huge ‘dimensions, that the bourgeois poli- | ticians are forced to make some gesture, at least, of alarm and pro- mise to take some steps to improve this condition. | However, we have seen that this condition will not be improved by the | calling of conferences. This condi- | tion will not be improved by Tam- many or by the Fustonists, McKees or Socialist Party. They offer no con- crete measures of struggle to attain better conditions for working class children. At best, they make empty promises, which will be forgotten im- mediately after election. Only through struggle can the con- ditions of our children be improved.

They sometimes even jmake militant speeches, and talk | about general strike to prevent war. The Socialist leaders speak NOW against war just as every imperialist war-maker speaks for “peace” and against war (?). It is exactly behind this “peace” and “disarmament” talk smoke screen that the United States and other capitalist powers are arming to the teeth, and are driving headlong to the new world war. Already the Socialist leaders are preparing the slogans for openly sup- porting the imperialist war that threatens. In the name of “defend- ing Western democracy against East- ern dictatorship” and for “a pre- ventive war,” the leaders of the Sec- ond (Socialist) International are sharpening their war incitement against the Soviet Union by placing the Soviet Union side by side with Hitler fascism, and are preparing for the open support of their respective imperialist countries in the war they are feverishly preparing.
