By IVOREY COBB Tkt Pittsburgh Coarief I Wctckhs he River Go By White the world is busy reaping the harvest of life, the hundreds and hundreds of Pittsburgh's idle are seemingly playing, sleeping, and watching the time go by in an unconcerned way. I They may be seen any day down on the banks of the Monongahela river near the Wood street wharf. At first giiiripse, one is Imbued with cu 9 riosity at the many, many young "men, middle aged men, old men, strong men. weak men, sickly looking men. able bodied men, lazy men all kinds of men, both foreign tad American born.

It's the sight fa lifetime sight long to be Esmembered with the present busies! age. And where they are a panorama of the present jobless era barely getting enough food by begging and soliciting to prolong their miser able lives. Among them are some foreigners who were brought over to this country in gangs to provide cheap labor for greedy American contractors and manufacturers. Before being brought here they were promised homes and steady jobs for the remainder of their lives. They got the jobs, and they were steady, too for a while but after a somewhat prolonge prosperity, they were left adrift upon a sea of disorder and poverty before they knew what it was all about.

They didn't have a chance to become adjusted i to the prevailing environment of this country before they found themselves being given one day off from work, two days off, weekly lay offs, part time work, and finally no work at all. As a result, the foreigners, too enjoined In the mass of Pittsburgh's idle.

But that is just the cam outflage used by the ex builders of America to cover their real conditions and feelings. They tryx to appear happy and do look happy to outsiders.

They are victims of "some thing" they know not of. I They have put up a good front.

The world believes that they are happy but they know better. They do man, things to forget their un ha iness. They gather In small groups. They play card games of all kinds: fan tan, coon can, whist, and even bridge. They test their accuracy by pitching horseshoes, and match their wits by playing checkers.

They read papers of old dates and discuss the current events prevalent at that time. They do anything and everything to avoid thoughts of what they are now, compared to what they "used to be." But despite their apparent Jovi ality, many a sordid tale can be told of the bumps and bounces they have received life in Its worst forms. The telling of their life stories permeates the air with morose ness from beginning to end Such a story was told the writer by an ebony hued man, without shoes, and with "a dark pair of trousers; that had a ragged ending Just above the knee. He was kept busy warding off the flies, i The man in question wore what was once a white shirt, but was how merely i enough Boggy cloth to cove his chest and back. It was sleeveless.

His appearance might breed a contempt for him by some self supporting citizen with the primary essentials or me, ror lei ting himself drift to such a low level. But, nevertheless, he is there now, and contempt can't bring him out of it. After all, he was once a youngster who, being the only child, was the apple of his mother's eye. And he was not without the sincerest and most innocent love for her. In fact.

It was "this love that drove him from home to seek what he thought the world owed him a fortune to keep his mother from want. His story may not be true, but it is an interesting one. Anyway, here are the highlights of what he told the writer as he lay on the sun warmed cobble stones, making gestures now and then to show his sincerity In what he was saying. I I He is known as "Samby to his fellow companions (he wouldn't reveal his family name). Samby hails from the Southland (won't tell where), 'but anyhow it was a pleasant little place where most of the village folk picked cotton for a living.

Samby's mother and dad picked cotton, too, but he didn't like jobs of that type. But Samby's dad compelled him to do something or "get out." Samby chose the latter because there was no other work to be had in the vil lage at that time and he, Samby, was determined not to pick cotton and he didn't. That's why he left early one morning so early In fact, that the villagers had not begun their journey to the cotton fields, where most of them worked until they became physically disable or died of old age. Samby knew that his mother would object to his going away, so rather than, bear a heart breaking parting, he; left without her knowledge. And to this daj Samby doesn't believe his dad has told his mother the truth about his leaving home.

Well, he has gone now, and t's all that mattered to him except that some day he had planned to come back home and take his mother away away from those awful, scorching cotton fields. Traveling was hard for Samby and why wouldn't it be to an 18 year old boy who had never been away from home. Anyway, to make a long story short, Samby hoboed, bummed, and did everything that he was taught to do by the professional "road knights" with whom he came into contact while on his aimless Journey. i I But unlike most stories, there was no "pot of gold" awaiting Samby at the "end of the rainbow." He sought for his fortune; but found it not. He looked for it in all the principal cities in the United States.

He is still looking for it However, it seems farther away today than it ever did. He hasn't given up hope yet he believes that his "breaks" are bound to come soon. And he patiently awaiting it down at the river docks. i Samby has not written to his parents for more than four years. He can't now, because he has no stationery and no means of getting any.

He doesn't want to write anyway, because he is in dire circumstances and wants to keep that from his parents. He would be happy If he didn't constantly keep his desired goal and ambition in life on his mind that of making his mother happy and taking her i A N.S.C.L. PLANS BIG HAY RIDE TO PHIL'S PLACE; VERNE AND PALS TO PLAY Everybody has been talking about it; everybody has been waiting for it and at last the time is here. What? Why the North Side Civic League's hay ride to Phil's Place. And what a hay ride it is going to be.

The trucks will be loaded down with soft, i fragrant hay that will be oh so comfortable Th trucks will form a caravan and all will leave at the same time for one great hilarious ride. Girls have been talking about wearing their new pajamas and the boys will weap either overalls or knickers. A3 Verne and His Pals have promised to play even hotter than usual for this big Is everybody happy? Don't forget this truck schedule: The truck at Frankstown avenue between Flavel and Enterprise streets will leave promptly at 9:00 o'clock p. m. From there it will go to the Y.

W. C. A. on Center avenue, and tnence to tne xvortn Side. The trucks on the North Side will leave Montgomery street at approximately 9:30 p.

m. The date is Friday night, Sept. 2, and the total fee will be only 60 cents 25 cents for transportation and 35 cents for the dance. I Don't forget the date, the place and the event. away from the awful and hot cotton fields of the South.

Life does not worry him much any more. It his motner "passes on" before he attains his objective. he plans to "retire" from further search. His travels over the thorny paths of life have but not quite, convinced him that a "rolling stone gathers no moss." Samby doesn't believe that the bid adage applies to him for he intends to "roll on" until he is a suc cess. CAN THIS BE? Parading silently in front of a bakery shop on Center avenue all last week was a short statured man bearing an English sign on his back and a Jewish sign on the front (that is, it looked Jewish to me I couldn't read It), which was telling the world Just why he was walking so nonchalantly.

The sign stated that the union operators were on strike there, and asked the public to demand "Union made bread." It seems a pity that some men can quit work and go on a strike during these depressing times, while others would grab at a chance to earn some spare change. Oh, well! Who can question the actions of a "union" of working men wlio want to be unem ployed? WAJTNA PLAY. CHECKERS Some of the best checker players in the city enjoy dally games with each other at their popular. Soho street Center avenue hangout. Some got their start at the Center Avenue Y.

A look of satisfaction always engulfs the countenance of one of the checker graduates after he emerges victorious from a "battle of wits" with some of the old timers of Soho Center fame. Still there are a certain few at the old school, the who, after having reached the top, would not. endanger their "rep" by challenging the Soho ites.

FREE FLOUR AGENCY JS AID TO RILL By IVOBEY COBB a rpnort from the Free Flour Airenev. located in the Monumental Baptist church, 2041 Reed street, to the Pittsburgh courier representative last week concerning the progress of the station, revealed the following statistical facts relating to the number of families receiving aid from the government agency. Since the onenine of the station, ftironirh th efforts of Rev. W. W.

Cannon, who is sole supervisor, the number of families being supplied monthly with flour nas grown to Arcordine to the latest re port, approximately 2,000 families are being added to the free flour list weekly. Each accepted family receives two 24 pound sacks of flour per month. Tt has been estimated that 85 per cent of the families receiving rharitv relief, are totally un employed, while the remaining 15 per cent receive part time work insufficient to supply their finan cial needs. Tn the relleious census taken along with the distribution of the flrmr it has been revealed that 60 per cent of the people are active or distant members of some reli frinim faith, while the remaining 40 per cent are Inactive members, but do not attend church, it was aiso volunteered that people coming nthar ptlnns of the COUntrV. especially the South, have not been affiliated with some cnurcn irom tvan tn 2S Only one man has professed to be an atheist.

The difficulties encountered by the agency in the effective distribution of the flour to the needy, have been many. It was revealed that; several local ministers, through jealousy, have allied to cause much unrest in the administering of the flour to the poor. Others, However, have been very co operative. Several complaints, were made that the flour was being distributed with unfair political prejudice. An investigation showed the reports to be absolutely false.

It is alleged that these complaints are being made in an effort to wrest the Reed1 Street agency from the efficient hands of Rev. W. W. Cannon, enjoy upsetting some of the "up and coming" youngsters in the witty game. Hotel Long Street at Hamilton Avenue, Columbus, O.
