In this article Philip Fallick says that he was born poor and for the greater part of his life has lived poorly. He was born in the slums of Manhattan but when he was three years old, his family meved to another section of New York that was an improvement over the place where he was born but was still a poor section. The pertinant part of Fallick's article is set out as follows: tUntil I was fourteen the bigecst weekly income my family ever had at any time wos twenty-five dollars. ... My schcol career was average. I passed and failed subjects just as most ef the others did. I did not take a real interest in schcol till my second year in high school. At this time I got a job sclling the NEW YORK TIMES to the students. Handling this paper every day cf the weck made me pay some attention to the news of the world, nation, and city. ... At this time I also began to get a crop cf the better, more liberal tcachers. I became interested in labor. One day I saw two old men fighting in the strect. I rushed over to sec what it was all ebout. One of the men told me the other was a scab and had a : taken his job. It was here that I did a very stupid thing, one Rog that I have since regretted. I tried to stop that fight. I'm glad though that there were cthers there who pushed me ee away ard let the scab get what he deserved. For making me do this oar stupid thing I can thank the newspapers, the radio, the schools i of New York. ees In time I became fairly well acquainted with the true picture of the struggle labor is going through. I became the liberal mem- ber cf my family. It was (and still is) quite cormon to hear in my hcuse something like this: ‘That dirty union icader - - he should cnly drop dead'. These things are said especially lond whenever I am home. But I dontt gove a darn. I hope that some- day they will learn the truth. he er Tite
