Unemployment, the use of police brutality and issuance of wholesale injunctions against workers on strike, wage-cutting and union- smashing, will greatly swell the support of New York workers of the Communist platform. While the candidates of the capi- talist political parties are expected to show their appreciation and gratitude to their parties for the nomination by contributing to their campaign fund, the candidates of the Workers (Communist) Party rely on the contributions of work- ers from whom they are militantly fighting in every strike. These con- tributions will rapidly accumulate to a considerable sum as the result of the Tay Days of next Saturday and Sunday. All sympathizers with ‘the Communist platform are urged to go out with a collection box on these two days. TWO FUR LOCALS 0. K.

Byrne, borough president. You may have the floating profi- ciency of a ton of rock in Queens and still secure an appointment— pfovided, this time, you have at least once shaken hands with bor- ough President Bernard M. Patten. In short fifteen life guards on beaches in Brooklyn and Queens, it has just been discovered, were un- able to swim. Eighteen who could swim like ducks—on land—refused |to be tested in the water and dis- appeared when the Municipal Civil Service Commission attempted to examine them. The appointments of these young according to the two Tammany borough chiefs, were made only because there was life guards on the beaches which daily are becom- ing more crowded. “The protection of life is of lit- tle consequence when it comes to doling out political patronage,” de- clared H. Eliot Kaplan, secretary of the Civil Service Reform Asso- ciation, an organization that has urged that the position of life guard be placed on the competitive list.
