DEATH SHADOWS MIHIHG COLONY IH NOVA SCOTIA Inhabitants of Far-North Village Face Starvation— Without Clothes. By Paul R. Mallon United Press Staff Correspondent Coourlaht. loti bti United Press SYDNEY, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, April 10.—In a far-away colony of misery at this tip of the American continent, five thousand victims of the age-old struggle between coal miners and operators today are facing starvation. A month's strike has forced them —mostly women and children —to become public charges on a dwindling relief fund that can give them only 3 cents a meal for food, and sometimes not even that. Thousands — more of the sixty thousand affected miners and dependents—are living in filth and squalor, under conditions that have doubled the 'death rate and filled the hospitals. In four days travel through the strick n district, I have found famines with nine and ten children living in two-room company houses with not enough clothing to cover their bodies, no pants for the boys to go to school and pregnant mothers —pale and emaciated —who have been without food for four days. Relief Committees The handicapped and impoverished relief committee have been doling out all that the charitable people of Canada have contributed, but, in the words of Father M. A. Mac Adam, chairman of the Glace Bay relief committee, therais “only enough for us to help keep body and soul together—and I don’t know hew long tha* will continue." "Each day our funds grow smaller," he said. Herring and cod and bread and tea is about all we can buy and we need ten times more of those than we can get. The provincial government has given us no funds. The merchants here are hard pressed already and they can give us no more. “We are helpless. Hungry children are crying for food. I shudder to think of what L to happen if they don’t get it.” Works for Northing His story is a duplicate of that of every impartial man in this district. The town physician, Dr. E. O. MacDonald, reported that diphtheria had broken out, adding to the misery and that the hospitals were filled. With sanitary conditions as they are and so many persons undernourished for a month, he told how easily they would fall under an epidemic. Dr. MacDonald and other physicians are working without pay. “I give more than I get every day,” he says. “You can’t expect people dying > f starvation to pay you. My wife is working down in the bread lines and my son has the team ou tdriving supplies to the relief stations.” George Boyd, who runs the clothing store in Sydney, says he did not sell a suit last week. “But I had to send fifteen pairs of kids J pants out to Glace Bay," he added. “It’s hell here now and I don’t know how we are going to carry On.” A. Y. McDonald, registrar of Glace Bay, says fourteen death* were reported in his small district in February, when the men were working, while there were twentyseven deaths in March. The child mortality rate is high, he says.
