Conditions in Halifax
Let Labourers Read This and Then
Ask Hunt Some Questions
Mr. Charles Hunt, Ihe Tory nominee for St. John's West has,
according lo the Telegram, painted a gloomy picture of St. John's
West. Mr. Hunt has tried to make out that the laborers of St. John's
West are a crowd of starving people. He has, according to the Tele-
•j.pm. attempted to paint a terrible picture of the manner in which
lhe Squires Government have neglected the unemployed 'of St.
John's. And, then, with Tory consistency, Mr. Hunt ridicules the Go%-
crnmsnt for giving the people work, while at the same time he ridicules the people for taking work.-
It may suit Mr. Hunt's game and that of the people who arc
using him to call the men of SL John's convicts because they are «i-
gaged in rock quarries, but let Mr. Hunt read the subjoined . article
is ken from a late Halifax paper and ask himself if thc Squires polio
of dealing with unemployment is not preferable to that adopted by
the Provincial Government of Nova Scotia, the Municipality of Halifax
or lhe Federal Government, under each and all of whose jurisdiction

PATHETIC JOBLESS CROWD OF HALIFAX.
Too Proud To Beg, "They Claim Their Legitimate
Birthright—Work! Halifax, Wake Up! -
The jobless, restless, foodless, churchless crowd of Halifax
continues to grow and in a short while may possibly constitute
biggest challenge, to be sure; nevertheless a challenge that should
be considered just as rent and just as urgent.
Families Huddled Together In Single Rooms.
In this city at tbe present time, there are families, running all the
'ay from four to eight members cach, that are huddled together ir
single room. "Why? Oo you ask. Because the coal bin is down
capacity of one room. These prisoners of despair weigh coal as if
were gold. Little children in these highly rented cabins are pt
:d to keep warm, while the rosy, romping children of the better
class are out on the hills coasting, on the lakes and in thc rinks skat-
in thc movies rollicking with laughter at the antics of Charlie
Chaplin.
Fathers by thc scores, clad in shabby, shoddy, worn-out clothes,
n these fever-breeding and hell-brooding confines figuring out
how a half dozen hungry stomachs can be fed with a paltry, measly
pittance. In the dim light of the lamp and the flickering, dying
embers in the siove, you discover:
"The emptiness of ages in his face;
And on his back the burden of the world."
Mothers Leave Their Babies and Go out to Work.
There are young mothers in this city that day by day must leave
their babies in the cradles and must trudge out thru storms of sleet
d snow and rain, beseeching those more fortunate ones for a chance
scrub, to wash, to do anything within the bounds of honor, so that
the little ones might be warmed and fed. These mothers of the next
generation should be home nursing their bairns instead of being
compelled by the irony of frightful circumstances to sweat and worry
over the wash tpbs of families other than their own.
The Jobless Are Not the "Scum of Society".
This jobless contingent in our midst is not the scum of society.
These work seekers who trudge our streets are men and women of
brawn and brain: they are skilled workers; they are honest toilers,
thout whom rfot a cellar would be dug, not a nail driven, not a brick
id; not a railroad built, not a paper printed, and not a ship would
leave the ways. Some of these people are professional, and so they
in normal times, contributors to art and education.
Among this number of the City's jobless are those who went
overseas, and went over the top, and came back bullet-riddled and
nerve-racked. They came back to be first feasted and then fooled.
They came back expecting to enter the land of Canaan, and behold!
they met the Hittites and the Amonites, and the Amalekites. and the
Flavellites, and the Fosterites and the Rossites, and thc Roadites
and the Hogites, and a small army of parasites belonging to the
Mammonites. These veterans of the World War round themselves
between the upper and nether mill stones; they found themselves just
outside the door of everything they expected to find. They are wandering about as sleep walkers and asking in dream land what in God s
name this whole fight-meant to them.
There are it
n Halifax to-day, who but yesterday marched thru
