my friend t lie mayor wasn't to
Mania about the snow. Ho
couldn't got the labor. They
were all on relirf. Now, moving
mow in New York city used to
be the one bit; job that they
layed for, but no more. Now
that's what's going to turn
some of the sympathy of relief
awny. When the impression
xets around that people are be
nu fed who won't work, yon
will have an about-face on this
relief situation. Nobody can
kink on honest, deserving relief
and nobody can be blamed for
kicking on relieving somebody
when they won't work. The
governments and towns have
trot to find some way of telling
them apart. Maybe fingerprint
ing would do it or one of those
'lie detectors." Anyhow, all
this shows where public works
beats the straight "dole."
