Abstract

Unfit to Print
Feinstein, Isidor | December 25, 1935 issue

Every year the newspaper "New York Times," runs a Christmas campaign for New York's One Hundred Needest Cases. It is a most worthy charity. Each of these cases unfolds a world of suffering. The titles sound sentimental. "Alone at Sixty-nine," "Scrubwoman," and others. These captions make the more sophisticated shrink. But the misery behind them is real. For in the One Hundred Neediest Cases the Times each year gives its readers a glimpse of news it did not think fit to print before. During the great taxi strike in New York the Times reader heard of violence and hooligans and gangsterism, nothing of tile insecurity and poverty that led up to it.
