Three dociors and a nurse consti- tute the staff of the station, which its to be open day and night in the future. During 1932 a medical service is to be established and thus every medical and sanitary need of the seamen will be catered for without them being obliged to leave the dock area, clean and many windows give plenty of light and fresh air and a good view of the Baretshnoy Basin, which in summer and autumn is crowded with shipping of all nationalities. Just to enter the station is to be in- terested. Models, pictures and charts show measures of labor protection obtaining among Soviet seamen, the danger of infection from the drink- ing of impure water, statistics of adult and infant mortality in the city (which by the way illustrate one of the triumphs of the October Rev- olution) and other things of interest. The faces of Lenin and Stalin, Nansen and Jenukidze look down from the walls. The later is the president of the Society of the Red Cross and Red Crescent of U.S.S.R. under whose auspices the service was started. é 2,167 Treated. As an example of the good work done here it may be mentioned that in 1931 medical treatment was given to. 2,167 seamen and an additional 300 seamen received dental treat- ment. Medical treatment is entirely free and no humiliating questions are asked as to earnings and personal expenditure as is the case in public hospitals in Britain. Dental treat- ment, such as plumbing, extractions, etc., are entirely tree. Should a sea- man desire a set of false teeth he is charged for the materials only and then at half of their cost price. This is necessary because such’ materials have to be imported. The manufac- ture of the teeth costs the men nothing. In cases where seamen are sent to hospitals in the city, the staff of the medical station for foreign seamen does not lose interest in them. Visited In Hospital, The men are visited in hopsital and newspapers in their respective languages are provided. If a seaman is too ill to write letters, this is done for him. Sick seamen left behind -without clothes are provided with them and, in short, their require- ments are’ studied down to the last detail. Officers Protest. The work of the station is often hampered by the opposition of ships’ captains, possibly acting under the instructions of the owners, but some- times because they themselves are fascist minded. Such captains and officers try to poison the minds of the seamen against the station, so The station is scrupulously | grad last year. The sailors foc'sle is a veritable hell-hole. The place is ill lit and the ventilation is bad. There is accom- modation for eight men and a small mess tabie jammed up against the bulkhead. The cemented deck runs with water day and night, this leak- ing from a lavatory pipe which runs from the bulkhead to the deckhead and which necessitates continual stooping on the part of the men. Such foul conditions, together with the bad food given, are responsible for the prevalence of sickness among seamen on capitalist-owned ships. As it is among seamen that the station carries on its work it is natural that there should be a bond of interest between the station and the International Seamen’s Club in Leningrad. This, however, has found expression but feebly up till now, but in 1932 it is hoped to organize in conjunction with the club lantern lectures on medical subjects and ex- cursions to the “houses of sanitary enlightenment.” This is a step in the right direction, because although both institutions do work of a dif- ferent type, co-operation can only result in good for both, ‘The international character of the work of the station is best illustrated by the following figures. Of the 2,107 seamen receiving treatment last year 30 per cent were Scandinavian, 25 per cent German, 20 per cent British and American, 20 per cent came from the Baltic countries, Lat- via, Finland, etc., and the remain- ing 5 per cent were of other ationali- ties. No matter from what country they come, or what their rating, they are all accorded the same attention. The variety of the treatment is il- lustrated by the following. In 1931, of ‘cases treated 50 per Cent were surgical, 30 per cent were venereal and 15 per cent were therapeutic, Letters of Appreciation. Statistics are not the only things kept by the workers in the station for foreign seamen. They possess a book full of appreciations written by grateful seamen which they like to, show as best emphasizing the value lof their work. The seamen of many countries write letters from abroad thanking the staff for their atention and praising the work of the station. An American from the “Argosy” writes: “I wish to express my grati- tude for the kind and courteous treatment from your station during my two months of illness.” An English seaman from the 8. S. Klyne Rock says: “Dear friends: I | have been under the treatment at | this Red Cross station for an in- jured arm and I have had every possible care taken of it. I am only a stranger in the country, but I am sure that I could not have had bet- ter treatment anywhere.” JACK BROWN, New York Metal Shop CutsPay 10 P. C. (By a Worker Correspondent.) NEW YORK.—I am a worker at the Premier Metal Etching Co. of Long Island. P. Basse, the boss, is one of the biggest blood-suckers I ever saw. On Thursday, April 7, he put a sign up in the shop stating that our wages were reduced 10 per cent. We only get from $8 to $10 a week. The girls from $6 to $7 a week. All the workers in the shop are talking about Communism. Half of the workers are Spanish. All we need is a little help here and we will come out on strike, J. B. Vet Learns About USSR From Film i New York. Daily Worker: I am a reader of your paper—an _ American war veteran, interested in the Soviet Union, The only drawback that I found was your antipathy tod the church. I was brought up in old-fashioned Methodist Church — surroundings, hence the feeling. Yesterday I visited a theatre on — 14th St., having seen an ad in your paper, and saw a picture called “Bondage.” I can now understand Russia’s viewpoint and can say that if the church was so low and con- niving, as depicted in that picture, it certainly deserved the treatment accorded by the Soviet Government. T heartily subscribe now to the cause. A.J. Refuse Fuel to Workers Owing Bill (By a Worker Correspondent) GRAND RAPIDS, Mich—Coal dealers are becoming cautious and are refusing to deliver coal to any one owing a bill and. when the do deliver are over-charging. Mr. Jag- lowski has had this experience with _the Bultema Timmer Fuel Co. here. ‘The company charged $7 a ton for coal which other companies are charging $6.50 for. When Jaglowski complained, the company threatened to sue for a bill he owed. He has patronized this coal dealer for years. Other dealers are doing the same thing, It is just another way of ex- ploiting the workers, Deport More From U.S. Than Come In, Boasts Sec.

The first police charge came when the delegation gathered at the en- «ance of City Hall and demanded ot | Police Inspector McAulifffe, that chey be permitted to enter and pre- sent their demands to Mayor Walker. Twenty cossacks, mounted on charg- ing horses, plunged into the crowd, swinging clubs and kicking men, wo- men and children, while the horses crampled them in the street. One police thug kicked a woman in the stomach and, as she doubled up from pain, he kicked her again. This so | anfuriated the workers that they seized the cop and gave him a good veating. Workers Resist Attacks Not daunted by the savagery of vhe attack and angered at the ter- rible brutality which. left scores severely injured the workers re- sormed their lines and four times beat back the police attacks and each vime, as they surged forward to the counter-attack, shouting defiant slo- gans, additional numbers of the police suffered injuries, Police Commissioner Mulrooney, himself, personally directed the as- sault upon the lines of the workers, while Walker remained safetly be- hind the walls of City Hall, while below in the basement police were ferociously beating demonstrators chey had dragged down the steps. George E. Powers, one of the lead- ers of the Unemployed Councils, was terribly beaten up by a large group of police, and with blood streaming from his face and head and his clothes saturated, was thrown into a patrol wagon and rushed to a jail cell. The fierce fighting continued for an hour anda half when, at a signal from the steering committee, the demonstrators, 10,000 strong, rein- forced by many of the 25,000 work- ers that watched the fighting, marched to Union Square again. Hold City Streets As the crowd surged forward, in marching formation, attempts were made to stop them but the streets were held against every attack. ‘Through the crowded downtown sec- tion the demonstration passed, the workers continuing to shout slogans and display their placards and ban- ners, As the Edison Construction job was reached the red flags were taken by the workers and carried along in the march, Through the streets, particularly the working-class sec- tions, the marchers shouted many slogans such as “No work, no rent.” “Open the Relief Bureaus.” “Jimmy Walker Wants Beer; we want bread.” “We Refuse to Starve.” “War funds for the Unemployed.” ‘Pight against War.” Smash Through Auto Barriers, ..At Delancey and Forsyth Streets, a cop tried to stop the march by signalling automobile and _ truck drivers to go through the lines. Instead of being dispersed by such methods ,the workers, who had battled the police for hours,” assailed the drivers, smashing the window glass in private. cars, hurling -mis- seles through the windshields of | trucks, Held Union Suare Meet By the time Union Square was | reached the cops were convinced that | they dare not try further to stop the demonsiration and a mighty protest meeting was held. ‘The masses of workers applauded the call of the speakers for the Un- employed Councils, the Trade Union Unity League, and the Communist Party to continue the fight against the bossses’ hunger and war program, and to especially mobilize on May Day and fight for unemployed de- mands and against the imperialist war conspiracies, in defense of the Chinese people who are being slaugh- tered by Japanse imperialism and in defense of the Soviet Union, The workers were called upon to mass at Union Square on May Day, 100,000 strong, and march to Rut- gers’ Suare, in the greatese demon- stration yet held. i Many injured workers were taken care of b> the Workers’ International Relief, Some of them are seriously injured.

The chief differ- ence is the various May Day editions is in the greetings and ads, which are being separated because of their enormous number and because of their purely local interest. Every worker who has contributed to or collected for the May Day Daily Workers will have his or her name in his or her edition. Workers are writing in daily of their experiences in building the greeting pages of the May Day Daily Worker, and also of their plans for getting this historical, working class issue into the shops, into the farming areas, aboard ships, and into the mines, Comrades who have been working with the Daily Worker every day, they will redouble their efforts when the May Day issue gets to them. Some comrades have laid out routes for themselves to be sure that every striker will get a copy of the May Day issue, even if the local company thugs keep other editions away. A few letters have been received describing experiences in getting ads for May Day, and also in collecting greetings. ceived from shops even where there are spy systems. Workers have ap- proached local business men with workers’ committees and told them about the May Day Daily Worker, got the name on the. dotted line, not forgetting the cash, and sent in the ads, “ It is these comrades who most acutely realize the importance of the role of their own class revolutionary newspaper, and the place the Daily their injuries in hospitals, Worker takes in the advance guard of the class war fighters.
