‘OPEN SHOP’ IS ISSUE IN NOVA SCOTIA STRIKE Canadian Communists for Mass Pickets (Continued from page 1) might just as well never have been withdrawn for all the real effect their withdrawal has had. “The corporation has all these months been able, to its own com- Dlete satisfaction, to keep its officials on the jobs. Scabs have been doing the work and the whole world, Mce- Leod included, knew it, “And only now, after these. heart- breaking weeks, has the McLeod ex- ecutive been forced by the local un- ions, to picket the mines. “In a communication to the local unions, the good-natured and christ- jan tempered executive write: ‘Bro- thers; From information received in the district office, it appears that the company have been introducing out- side labor in some of the departments, Bach local union should therefore ap- point pickets and make their investi- gations, and promptly send to this of- fice written reports as to the results of these investigations as to outside labor doing any scabbing. Each local union will see that pickets do not in- terfere with company officials, and that there is a continuation of the good order that has prevailed and no destruction of public property.’ “In this very communication permit ting the locals to picket, the tame exe- cutive again surround the picketing with all sorts of limitations. The company officials are not to be inter- fered with because the constitution allegedly prohibits interfering with company officials, but the union con- stiution also is against withdrawing the union maintenance men. Where ist he argument? It is only some more belly-crawling to a ‘public opin- jon’ that is killing the strike— to a government that is forging more iron shackles and chains for the workers. Quit Class Collaboration. “We say to the miners—for the sake of your women and children! For the sake of your organization! For your own sake! Give no quar- ter! No quarter will be given to you! “Do the miners know that Father Nicholson of New Waterford inform- ed their executive that McLurg, vice- president of “Besco had made the statement to him that the corpora- tion was thru with the United Mine Workers as an organization and that ‘Besco was going to--deal with the. men in the pits as local committees, “What does this mean but com- pany unionism—but the open shop? “A dirty game is being played at the expense of the miners. “Miners of District 26: Picket the mines!

Altho the hospital officials are suppressing publicity, it is learned that the student nurses struck against th them. They complaint particularly of the poor food they are forced to eat. \ The doctors filed the charges with the board of trustees of the church at Cincinnati, Ohio. Heath has been busy canvassing the local board of the trustees .of the hospital here, composed of Negro ministers, and is endeavoring to line them up with him against the Negro doctors. He has had poor success so far. One of the charges filed with the trustees by the doctors is that Heath called the doctors, “nigger doctors,” in a staff meeting, and issued orders that they must not stop in the halls or be seen in front of the hospital. Another charge is that the superin- tendent refused to allow them to in- spect the charts of patients who have been treated by white doctors without first obtaining permission of the white doctors. The doctors declare they will re- sign unless conditions are bettered. Houston Victims Still Imprisoned (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW -YORK, May 14—In response to a letter from the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People, inquiring about the treatment of the former 24th infantrymen, trans- ferred from Leavenworth penitentiary to the disciplinary barracks at Fort | Leavenworth, Col. G. O. Cress, the commanding officer, states that their records continue good. Col. Cress states that none of the men have been released on parole since their transfer from Leavenworth penitentiary. He continues: “On the whole, the conduct of these men has been very satisfactory since their arrival here, and their records have been in keeping with the reports received from the federal penitenti- OUR DAILY PATTERNS ary.” The N.

COMRADES GRECHT AND BEN LEVY—YOU ARE CALLED TO ACTION This system of getting a sub and then calling another comrade to action is chock-full of possibilities. Many have been challenged and have responded nobly like the good Red Soldiers they are and went out to get new subs and GOT THEM. Comrade Malkin of New York, a veteran Builder in getting subs, got another and with it challenges Comrade Rebecca Grecht to “go out and do likewise.” . Comrade L. Cooper of the Williamsburg English branch is even more ambitious. He got two subs and issues a double challenge to Comrade Ben Levy of New York to get two also. * * @ Answer the challenge comrades and keep the ball roll- ing to bring more bricks to build a greater paper to help us build the Gommunist movement! eo * * Since the idea was first proposed by Comrade Shklar of Milwaukee, who got the habit from our comrades in Russia, challenges to get subs have been coming in a steady stream. Many have brought splendid re- sults and the rest we are sure will respond before June 15. If you have been successful in getting a sub (and for a Communist this job is a cinch!) send it in at once and call another Communist to action. C’mon Over!

C., May 14—The American patriotic women were given a jolt when the international women’s council in convention here voted to endorse the league of na- tions, the world court, disarmament and kindred projects. More fll feel- ing cropped up when they issued a statement charging the council with being merely the “propaganda agent” of the league. “Members of the Daughters of the | American Revolution,” said Mrs. Har- |Tls, “have been trying since the con- | vention began to promote ill feeling jin the council itself over these reso- lutions.” Mrs. Harris also charged the daughters with “bad faith” in repudi- ating their contract to permit their auditorium to be used by the coun- cil for its meeting. “Three years ago Mrs. Anthony ‘Wayne Cook, president of the D. A. R., agreed to permit us to meet in their memorial auditorium. “Last October we were suddenly notified we could not use it. They said our use of the hall would be ‘in- convenient,’ and gave no other ex- planation.” The council, she said, had lost be- cause of the withdrawal of the hall approximately $2,000. Mrs. Harris said officials of the council, to assure the D. A. R., that no unpatriotic propaganda would oc- cur during the meetings, had more than one year in advance obtained copies of speeches to be made at the present meeting, all of which were found to be proper. By a vote of 112 to 215 a motion for affiliation with other international or- ganizations of women was defeated. A two-third majority was necessary under the council’s -constitution for adoption. The names of about thirty international bodies that might affili- ate were given. The fight against affiliation was led by the American delegation. Prof. Marlan P. Whitney of Vassar college, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. chairman of the council’s education committee de- clared affiliation with other interna- tionals would make the council an unwieldy organization.
