Page Four PLAY POLITICS TOO MUCH FOR PUBLIC HEALTH Medicos’ Convention Denounces Glands Only one doctor to care for every nine thousand children in the public schools, is the startling record estab- lished by New York State, according to charts displayed by the Bureau of Health and Public Instruction of the American Medical Association at the Municipal Pier. “And it is generally the less effi- cient doctors who are in charge of public health,” said David W. Hensink- veld, in charge of the exhibit. “Pub- le service, under the present system, | b | Communists.” is not made attractive to men of ability.” The same general inertia is respon- sible for the lack of adequate public hospital facilities, Mr. Hensinkveld claims. In five states there is not a single city which has a free hospital; 1,454 counties are without hospitals. “The prevalence of politics in mat- ters pertaining to public health makes efficient administration of sanité laws an impossibility,” said W ‘ Rankin, of North Carolina, in a speech before the Section on Preventive and Industrial Medicine and Public Health yesterday. “Every measure for public health that has been put thru has succeeded only after a bitter fight.” Overwork Kills Most. Doctors in charge of bureaus of child welfare agreed in denouncing the negligence of the modern school in matters of health. Unhealthy work- ing conditions in factories and stores, where light and ventilation are poor and where working conditions cause a great general strain, were shown to have an effect on public welfare which is greatest among the poor, unable to escape from the slavery where such conditions are imposed. “Heart-strain, caused by overwork, is the indirect cause of heart disease, and the percentages of deaths from heart disease is highest among all the possible causes of death,” said Dr. Alexander Lambert, heart specialist. Brings in Frank Murder. In the murder of a fourteen-year- old boy by Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, Dr. Allen sees evidence of the demoralizing effects of the modern system of class divisions. “Extreme «povery and great wealth are alike potent in the production of criminals,” he stated.

The district is. entirely agricul- tural, with ne industrial centers, and has endured many factional quarrels. The boards of examiners appointed were nearly all industrial: workers, car- penters, joiners, with here and there an occasiénal office worker. They were all old party members, from before the Revolution, and hence unlikely to deal ‘by |them where they belong. the newly organized Rykov branch is sure setting the pace for the other branches. In the last two weeks we have had three open air meetings which were successful. The soap box meetings are held on St. Louis Ave. and Roosevelt rd., now christened “Karl Marx Square” because of the large number of radical meetings held there. Here are the meetings in de- tail: Meeting No. 1. The meeting started rather late, Nevertheless we had a crowd of one hundred. Forty-five copies of the Young Worker were sold. Questions were asked and the meeting broke up at 12. This meeting was held on Thursday, May 30. Meeting ‘No. 2. ‘We had an increase of 50. The sub- ject was “The Past War.” The crowd learned a few things and many ques- tions were asked. Over 55 Young Workers were sold. They were prom- ised another speaker and were told to come again the next Tuesday. This was held on Tuesday, June 3.

To the DAILY WORKER: I have been a reader of the DAILY WORK- ER for the past six months and ‘I wish to say that'I have never read a paper that I enjoyed so thoroly. I have always been a radical. I never knew what kind, until one day a fellow worker handed me the DAILY WORKER. Like Editorials. Aside from its wonderfully-written news columns, I like its editorials best. I can hardly wait to scaw thru the paper to get to them, real, live opinions. By, I presume, real, live men.... Its influence at the present time is very powerful—thanks to the dis- eased condition of the body politic at Washington. Nearly all workers are dissatisfied at the present time. All they need is a leader and the DAILY WORKER is an able, influen- tial ,and courageous one, who will bring them out of the dark and put On to St. Paul. Here's hoping the best of success for the convention at St. Paul on June 17th. Keep up the good work, the end will soon be here for capi- talism. More power to the DAILY WORKER. Long may it live— Joe Wolf. To the DAILY WORKER: The Ku Klux Klan paper, “The Illinois Fiery Cross,” in its last four issues states that at the meetings of the dangerous “reds,” Negroes and Whites each other. Horrors! THE VIEWS OF OUR READERS ON LIFE, LABOR, INDUSTRY, POLITICS This meeting was a still greater success, Comrade Max Schactman spoke. There was a crowd close to 300. The subject was “The Next War.” The results were shown by the questions that were asked and the discussion, which alone lasted for an hour and one-half. The speaker spoke for one hour. There were some hot arguments with some yellow So- cialists, who insisted that Russia had not treated the counter-revolutionist in the right way. All of our Young ‘Workers. were sold. The meeting closed at 11. ‘We advise other branches in. this vicinity to start open air meetings im- mediately. If such a young branch as the Rykov can hold successful meet- ings, surely the older branches can do the same.. The crowd in this vicinity was waiting for the speaker at 8 p. m. It- is a very good way to get rid of your literature and to start agitation. The Rykov branch is holding open air meetings every week. Come now, every one start your open air meet- ings and help spread Communism.— Albert Gloter, organizer of the Rykov branch.

ON GOVERNMENT Workers and Farmers’ Rule Looms { BOSTON, Mass., June. 15.—Accor& ing-to official sources of information, the results. of recent local elections in Bulgaria are as follows: For gov- ernment parties, 191,000; against gov- ernment parties (farmers and Com- munists), 230,000. This is the basis upon which. the people of Bulgaria voted in electing their local or county officials, which means that the power of the national government sooner or later must be transferred into the hands of the left parties. “The Morning Star,” the chief Pre testant .paper in Bulgaria and the mouthpiece of foreign capitalism, while regretting the present situat'pn as being dark and gloomy for tb in power and shedding crocodile te ra over it, is vehemently urging the people “to be good citizens, obedtemt patriots, and exemplary Christians.” (That is: to be meek, kind and fom getful of the autrocities committed by those in power upon helpless farm- ers and Communists, But fortunately that.is not the make-up of the peo- ple of the lofty hills of the Balkan peninsula.) “Intelligentzia” Fight Workers. It states further: “It is evident thas a bitter fight is in progress between the government forces and the left parties, which, if continued at its present fervor, can bring to the coun- and part of ‘those who reside in the! cities as well as those who are in a better financial situation, remembered well the lawlessness and hooliganisng committed during the regime of Stam- bouliski (evidently this refers to. the public trial and spiriting away to jail of the ministers responsible for Bul- garia’s partaking in the world war) have decided to prevent at all costs the come-back of the same regime with the added continuation of Com- munist leadership. This vow not te permit the reins of the government to be transferred into the hands of the farmers and the Communists is supported by the fear that if they do come to power there will be some bloody vindications. This is more than certain.” It further states: “This is clear and unquestionable and this is the mamn reason why. those in power decided .do..everything..possible.to prevent the occurence of such a carnage.’ (Notice reader, that. this Protes' paper mentions nothing about t#) carnage that took place during after the overthrown of Stamboulskyd On the other hand the American observer must take in consideration that the farmers (which constitute five-sevenths of the population) and the Communists are equally deter- mined, in view of their numerical supremacy which is growing day by day and not to allow a “gefunked” military dictatorship rule over re: and genuine militants of the workin; class.
