Hundreds of unemployed living in shacks which they themselves had built on “Whiskey Island” were brutally attacked by police, who set fire to the colony here this week. Many workers lost their last meager personal belongings in the attack. This attack followed refusal of the unemployed to move to the Wood- yard—the municipal lodging house, where they are forced to work with- out pay for rotten soup and lodg- ings. In the Negro neighborhood of Cleveland, the relief administration has already started relief reduc- tions. Rent allowance for many has been reduced from $8 to $6 per month. The food budget has also been reduced. Jobless Poisoned TOLEDO, Ohio, Noy. 26.—Reports from all parts of the State show widespread poisoning of unem- ployed workers, particularly chil- dren, by canned relief meat issued by the Federal government through the State Relief Commission. Investigation shows that the canned meat contains germs sim- visions, on a piece-work basis, 40 and 50 hours, Saturdays and holi- days, paying to the exploited work- ers half and less than half the wages provided in the Code. “Tt is established,” he continued, “that a large number of manufac- turers have taken advantage of the legalization of contracting to cut to ship out their work to contrac- tors violating the Code and the agreement, and particularly to set up irresponsible contracting shops in small towns and villages of New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsyl- vania where the workers are ex- ploited in the most vicious manner. “The evidence before the investi- gation showed conclusively that during the eight-months’ existence of the Code Authority the number of fur shops violating the generally accepted working standards has tremendously increased despite the fact that the Code Authority is em- ploying an army of so-called in- | vestigators. It was proven that the | So-called Labor Compliance Divi- | sion of the Code Authority, under | the direction of its chief inspector | has not only failed to stop violations of hour and wage provisions of the | code, but has, on the contrary, en- couraged such violations, covered up | and shielded the violators.

We particularly protest against the con- tinuance of the Code provision which legalizes the vicious system of contracting. “We demand the complete aboli- tion of the so-called Labor Com- pliance Division of the Code Authority and the immediate re- moval of Mr. Shamrot, the chief inspector. “We demand that the right of the | | fur workers to organize in a union } | of their own choice and to adjust | grievances and violations through | collective bargaining between the | Union and the employers, shall be fully respected and guazanteed. | Only our union can effectively en- | is prohibited, not only by the Code itself, but by the agreement be- tween the Fur Workers Industrial Union and the manufacturers.
