As coup plotters conquered territory, problems with distribution of goods in the Republican rearguard increased, food products being specially scarce. From the departments of Supplies and Economic Affairs, Joan Comorera set in motion soup kitchens and cheap restaurants, and for the children, given their particular vulnerability, special dining-rooms inside Barcelona cinemas. This experience spread to other industrial cities and had an effect on the routines of women who were compromised in doing the jobs of men at the front. The support of children’s dining-rooms was taken over by the People’s Army Units, their objective being to connect the front and the rearguard without forgetting the educational side and the future revolutionary purposes.
