Scrub Woman Dies “Easiest Way.” NEW YORK—(FP)—Lizzie Davis, 60-year old scrubwoman at Bellevue Hospital, grew despondent over ill health, her neighbors say, and so she took the easiest way out and died by gas. The pay of scrubwomen in hos- Pitals as in office buildings is notably poor and the work hard. Companions of Mrs, Davis in her many years’ work at Bellevue are trying to collect a little fund to save her body from the potter’s field. | For Rent—Furnished Rooms.

We know that the of- ficials were too busy moving their bank. They are more interested in money than in the membership. And you think you can expel our good union members and get away with it. We'll show you!” As the whole order of business was tied up, the officials were in despair. Finally Bojnarowicz found a way out by moving that the matter of Bram- orski’s expulsion be opened up again, that the contract be handled at this meeting and Bramorski’s expulsion discussed further at the next meet- ing.

The workers axet determined that Bramorski shall not be expelled, and while they recognize that the Levin gang will show up in force again at the next meeting, they are not going to be tmprepared to give him one of the warmest welcomes he has had in his life, Attack on Street Carmen in Cleveland Plot of Open Shoppers (Continued from page 1.) tually dismember the union will have been struck. For he will stand upon the right given him by the sacred courts to hire and deal with whom he pleases upon the basis of “equal rights.” If the street car men’s union does not strike today to maintain what it has gained, it will have to strike some day soon to win back what it will lose in the near future. To emphasize his atitude towards the union, Stanley said yesterday “that he wants every employe to know that now he does not neet to hire Geo. Rees (the buisiness agent of the street car men) as his representative if he doesn’t want to, He can deal with us personally.” At their mass meeting last night the street car men modified their de- mands to a 10 cent wage rise as against the 5 cents offered by the street car company, and a formal con- tract recognizing the union in place of the letter given them by Stanley yesterday. Hayes has Misgivings. Max Heyes, editor of the Cleveland Citizen, official organ of Cleveland unions, broke into print this morning with the following gem: “In view of what has happened, I don’t know whether we did right when we advised the men not to strike during the repu- blican convention. We believed we would get a square deal in the courts and took that chance. Ahd now John Stanley has the upper hand.” The street car men hat voted to strike just before the republican con- yontion was to be opened last June. By the above remark by Hayes, it would seem that labor leaders of all hues advised them not to do so. By advising them not to strike they un- doubtedly had the success of the re- publican convention in mind. Wanted it to proceed without having ti witness the turmoil and struggle of a strike. That b doing this they were helping to elect Coolidge the strike breaker, were helping to make the lower wages longer hours Dawes plan a success, were furthering the plans to further exploit the colonies and South Amer- ican countries by American imperial- ism, this probably never entered their heads. Know Hayes Advised Wrongly. Every thinking worker will not won- der whether Hayes did right in ad- vising the men not to strike. Every militant knows he did wrong. The thousand clubs, strike breakers in readiness, armored cars ready for action, open shoppers division of the chamber of commerce prepared to compel every ounce of force to be placed into the hands of Stanley — all this proves that now that the re- publican convention is over and Coo- lidge is in and the courts have acted. Hayes’ advice not to strike simply gave the enemy a chance to advance to a new and more advantageous front line of trenches. U. &.

MEETING SHOW WIDE ACTIVITY OF PARTY IN MANY FIELDS Thoro discussion of the Irish famine and political situation, organization within a short time of mass protest meetings against the white terror raging in the Balkans, further development and concrete organizational steps for formation of a party book store, the very excellent report of the Young Workers League activities, the coming American Negro Labor Congress and Trade Union Hducational League activities were the main matters considered at a good attended meeting of the city central committee of the Workers (Communist) Party, Local Chicago. Secured Contacts for Party Thru Irish Rellef Work, Necessity of supporting the Irish famine relief campaign as a demonstra- tion of international workers’ solidarity, as a means of aiding and laying a basis for a Communist movement in Ireland and for gaining contacts with the Irish workers in America were + pointed out. The! party must hence give complete support to the Irish famine meeting, Friday May 8th at North Side Turner Hall. Protest M: Meeting Against White Terror In Balkans With white terror holding sway truout Europe, especially in the Bal- kans, the party is staging a huge mass protest meeting Within a few days. The South Slavic, Rumanian, Bulgar- ian, Greek branches especially will push this demonstration. On The Red Aid Activity It is evident that the International Red Aid must receive mass support from the party organization in order to meet thruout the world the increas- ing reaction of the imperialist nations. The Young Workers League The Young Workers League report was received with acclamation, The representative stated that the league was participating wholeheartedly in all the party demonstrations and af- fairs, such as the May Day demons- trations, street meetings, I. W. A., L R. A., Fretheit Jubilee, etc., etc. The league is showing a noticeably healthy growth in membership, most of the members being gotten thru nuclei and factory campaigns. A new working area branch organ- ized taking in South Chicago and Pullman territories with their large steel mills and cars shops employ- ing hundreds of young workers, thus offering a fine field for a factory camp- aign which the league is contemplat- ing starting this summer in the heavier industries. A number of league comrades are already working in some of the steel mills and car shops. Seven nuclei functioning and eight more can be organized immediately.

Plans For Book Store Under Way City committee reported worked out plans for the campaign for book store. $2,500 are to be raised, the campaign to begin May 20th. Purpose is to open Workers Party Book Store by Sept. 16. There will be a general appeal for donations and those making dona- tions will obtain a refund on literature purchased. The Chicago party book store is only one of a chain of book stores thruout the county under the direction of the DAILY WORKER Publishing Co., and the party com- mittees. This book store undoubtedly will give a great stimulus to the sale and reading of Communist literature of every description, It is felt that the party will respond enthusiastically for the success of the book store which will also ,make it possible to establish a central library and reading room. A special commit- tee consisting of comrades Sam Ham- mersmark, M. Chilofsky, G. Chrysos, Natalie Gomez, Amy Schechter, Boris Shklar and M. Steinberg was elected to carry on the campaign for funds, assign the money quota for the bran- ches, etc. This committee meets, Saturday, May 9 for this purpose. Industrial Activity Interest and understanding: of the importance of the work of the T. U. BE. L., of building a left wing in the labor movement is bécoming manifest. The printers group is making gradual headway and is successfully pushing the widest distribution of their bul- letin, The Amalgamationist, In the carpenters the progressive caucus has drawn up a program for the coming district elections, A program which is bound to have good effect on the rank and file carpenters and draw them to- wards the progressive group. This program has been printed on the T. U. BE. L. page. The progressive caucus meets every Sunday at 10 o'clock in Room 6, third floor of the Douglas Park Auditorium, Medal and Ogden avenues, In the machinists the Metal Trades’ Bulletin is aiding greatly in crystal- izing left wing in the elections. Thus far in the machinists the Chicago lo- cal unions which have reported have voted 4 to 1 for the Anderson slate. The machinists T. UB. L, group has carried on an active campaign for the left wing progressive program, The barbers progressive group is now gain- s ing new adherents, especially since their good scrap against the rotten agreement concluded by the official- dom for the barbers. Progressive group issued a special leaflet on the agreement which made a hit. At the general meeting of the T. U. E. L., as reported, the American Labor Negro Congress and the means for drawing unions to its support were taken up and a resolution endorsing the congress passed. The party appointed a special com- mittee of Comrades Wirkkula, Jurich, Held, Bakiesh, Welechko, Mrs. Kalou- sek, Gori and a Y. W. L. represent- ative to aid the T. U. E. L. picnic committee, in making the May 30th picnic a huge success. A meeting of the industrial organ- izers of all the branches and Y. W, L. will be held on Friday, May the 15, at 19 S, Lincoln street. A special July 4th Picnic committee, the annual affair of the party, consist- ing of Comrades Hans Pedersen, Geo. Maurer, M. Abern, S. Rubicki, Mrs. Filiwarkov, Jurich, Gori, A. Maki, Y. W. L., Steinberg, Mittelman and We- lechko was elected to take initial steps for organizing the picnic. May Day Demonstrations Successful May Day meeting in Chi- cago was reported on and also wide distribution of leaflets at the North- west Car shops and other meetings. On the Negro Congress work, bran- ches are expected to call for Negro comrades to speak on the party atti- tude toward the American Negro La- bor Congress. Local unions are being visited wherever possible and the matter presented. The school conducted for Negro comrades helped considerably in the work. Cold weather is holding up street meetings in some mstances, but they are being held at every possible moment and branches are geting on the job everywhere for them. The DAILY WORKER Ten branches so far have responded to the DAILY WORKER Week distri- bution. The total number of copies distributed is 2,561 every night. Many branches will undoubtedly be heard from eventually, but the idea of the DAILY WORKER Week was a uni- form drive thruout the country. It will be necessary to follow up all of the people to whom deliveries are made, for subscriptions. If there are any of the comrades who expect to do this work within the next few days who have not yet received the special $1.00 for 2 months’ subscrip- tion cards, they should at once report at this office and secure same and also have a good supply of regular sub- scription blanks when they go out for subs. This $1.00 card is sent simply as 4 last resort. We do not want to stress bargain prices for the DAILY WORK- ER, but in case the comrade cannot possibly sign up a prospect for a three, six or twelve months sub, then rather than let this prospect go, they can present the dollar card and ask for at least a trial subscription. The sale of literature should great- ly increase now with the street meet- ings coming on and no street meet- ings should be held without a good supply of at least the DAILY WORK- ER, Workers Monthly and the four issues of the Little Red Library being on hand. The Little Red Library should have an immense sale, be- cause it is only a 10 cent pamphlet and also more particularly because of eS the great value and interest of its contents. The office of the city literature de- partment will be open from 9 in the morning till 7:30 in the evening every day, except Sunday and it is hoped that all literature agents will check up their present stock and also the amount they owe for literature and periodicals and make some report within the next week, if possible, to the city literature office, 19 S.
