Page 4 DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1934 14,000 FAMILIES REMOVED FROM RELIEF ROLLS IN MONTH Reliet Bureau ‘Snoop’ Squad Is Increased Hodson Plays Up Old Snow Shovelling Hoax As Relief Measure Fourteen thousand f cut off the city month, Welfa lam Hodson a: night, as a direct perization tuted on ar heretofore. dson, who spoke at a ted luncheon at Club, that while slightly than 14,000 had been added to the relief lists| during October, the dropping of a like number brought about an al- most complete balance, the Arst| time this has been effected during month in the recent period. “Whether this means that we) have reached the peak of the relief | load still remains to be seen,” he said. “I am inclined to believe that | this is due not so much to an im- provement in business conditions as; to the cumulative effect of our in- creasing the staff of the home relief investigators, our training of this| staff to conduct more thorough-go- | ing investigations, and the co-/| operation of employers, banks and | insurance companies.” | Staffs Increased The “increasing of the staff of the Telief bureau” to which Hodson re- | fers, can only mean the assigning of 500 special investigators to snoop | into every possible resource of the! jobless. On the basis of these in- vestigations, the Daily Worker charged last month, 500 jobless fam- ilies were being dropped daily. Hod- son’s statement fully bears this out. In“addition to this, drastic curtail- ment has been effected by slashing | individual budgets to the extent of any income, however, small it may be, from the relief checks. Even the few pennies picked up by selling hewspapers on the streets hav been cut off the checks. “Cooperation with banks, employ- @rs’ and insurance companies,” by which Hodson boasted of making other cuts, is the intensive drive to ferret out all “resources.” Thus, all insurance policies are absolutely taboo, and the cumulative amounts obtained by surrender of these pol- icies have been applied to the relief checks. Relief workers are not per- mitted to save any of their meagre earnings under new home relief bu- Teau rules. “Case Loads” Grow Meanwhile, an ever increasing numbe> of “case loads” have Leen placed on the already over-worked investigators. In some instances they have been definitely told to} close at least one case a day. Hodson emphasized three “re- forms” in the relief set-up. Notable | in these “reforms” was his cail for increased work relief, which as he understands the term in his drive} to. slash relief costs, is a definite | forced labor drive for jobs at mere| subsistence wages. Home relief, he added, should be given only as a Measure of last resort. “How would you ladies and gentlemen feel,” he| asked the assemblage at the lunch- eon, “if you had been idle for four years and were forced to get only| Bubsistence from the government?” “We are substituting a relief eco- nomy for our normal industrial economy,” he said. “We must real- ize that the depression is not tem- porary, nor an emergency. We must face, for at least a decade, the. fact that many will not be em- ployed again.” Hodson referred to the drive to| place the unemployed now on the relief lists at snow-shovelling jobs this Winter. He also made passing mention to the reluctance of the jobless to accept these temporary jobs due to inability of getting back | on the relief lists. While he did not clearly outline in what manner this “transfer” is being undertaken, he promised a statement on the matter soon. N avy Workers Were Victims Of Kick-Back Officer Says the P.W.A. Men Were Cheated by Coniractors - PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 14. — The kick-back and other forms of trickery were systematically prac- ticed on the workers of five P. W. A. projects at the Philadelphia Navy Yard by the contractors, Captain Ernest R. Gaylor, U. S. N., an- nounced yesterday, in making public an. investigation into the claims of workers that they had been under paid and cheated. Captain Gaylor, who is the en. gineer in charge of construction, re- Ported that wage-claims totalling $15,000 had been investigated by Naval and P. W. A. officials, ond the great majority of the claims had been proven just. He tried to keep the government from being implicated by blaming it entirely on the contractors. It is known, however, that the kick-back is a comthon practice that is winked at by officials. Only last July, an electrical sub-contractor on the Navy Yard project had to be dis- missed for forcing the workers to kick-back with part of their pay in too flagrant a fashion. The continuance of the practice indicates that the contractors, to gain bids, lower their labor costs by ia the workers on the proj- AS A | asked.

Worked 16 Hours a Day Miss Maclin, dark brown, of neat and pleasant appearance, reported that she was engaged by Mrs. Lewis on Oct, 16 and started work the same day, On Oct. 16, she was forced to work for 16 hours on a stretch waiting on a party of 32 persons, without additional pay, On Armistice Day, Mrs. Lewis found fault with her uniforms, and de- manded she change uniforms twice a day. She was also told on the same day that she would have to scrub the floors as well as do the cooking, wait on table, serve at the frequent parties held by her em- Ployers, clean the house, etc.—all for $65 a month. When Miss Mac- lin objected to these conditions and demanded her pay, she was told she was fired and paid two days short. When she insisted on the pay for the last two days she had worked, Mrs, Lewis became abusive and Mr, Lewis entered the kitchen and took a hand in the argument, threatening Miss Maclin with ar- rest and shouting at her, “you dirty black trash.” In an attempt to frame her, he called in a Welfare Island policeman and had her be- lohgings searched, Threatened by Lewis “You will not dare to report me, for if you do I will fix you so you will never forget me,” he told the worker when she continued to de- mand the balance of her pay and threatened to expose him, Miss Maclin was not terrorized by the threats of the city official, but immediately visited the Harlem office of the International Labor Defense on her return from the Island. I. L. D. leaders to whom she told her story, suggested that she report her experience to the Daily Worker, which she did that same day, Official Admits Chauvinist Remark In the office of the Home for Dependents on Welfare Island, Mr. Lewis, speaking on the telephone to the Daily Worker reporter, was plainly nervous and irritated. He ; called Miss Maclin “incompetent, impertinent and dishonest,” and hinted at “missing silver.” When asked if the policeman who searched her bag hed found any silver, he finally admitted that her bag contained only her personal be- belongings. Asked about her two days pay, he declared she was paid by the city which issued checks twice a month and that she had not received her last check as she left on the 12th and the next check would be issued on the 15th. Asked if he had given this infor- mation to Miss Maclin, he suffered @ lapse of memory, He further declared he had fired her as “incompetent,” but when checked on this by Miss Meclin’s report that she had given notice and demanded her pay, he lamely replied, “Well, when she refused to stay and work, I had to fire her, didn’t I?” Mr. Lewis admitted that he had referred to the worker as “you dirty black trash,” and of- fered the pretext that it was a “purely personal remark made to a person who was dirty and a thief,” and not intended generally against the Negro masses. The I. L. D, and the League of Struggle for Negro Rights are or- ganizing a delegation to accompany Miss Maclin to Welfare Island to demand the balance of her pay. It is also planned to send a del- egation to Mayor LaGuardia to protest the ant!-Negro attitude of the city official and to demand his removal, Ben Gold Will Speak In Harlem Tomorrow To Clothing Workers Ben Gold, national secretary- treasurer of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, will be the main speaker at the meeting arranged by the Harlem Needle Trades Workers Club at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at its headquarters, 125 West 30th St. Consuela Marcia, of the Spanish Needle League, and Tim Holmes, president of the club, will also speak at the meeting. They will report! on the Albany Hunger March. Gold will speak on the develop- ments in the struggle for the unifi- cation of all the dressmakers into the I. L. G. W. U. and on the prob- Jems of the Negro workers in the trade. “All workers, whether in the needle trades or not,” Holmes stated yesterday, “are invited to come to this most important and interesting meeting.” “On Oct. 30, I sold a book of coupons for $5 for the $60,000 drive,” writes AndyH. of Taren- tum, Pa, “and also collected $10 (half for the Labor Defender). I am going to try to collect more money as best I can.” Energetic action such as this will aid con- siderably in reaching the $60,000 quota by the end of November.
