He also got shot while he was acting as a guard to protect the-eompany property. After this worker got crippled, the bosses made it so miserable for him that he was finally forced to quit.

Steel Workers Remem- ber A.F.L. 1919 Sellout (By a Worker Correspondent) JOHNSTOWN, Pa.—A steel worker just joined the Amalgamated Asso- ciation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work- ers, affiliated to the A. F/of L. The organizer told him that he had signed up over a hundred steel workers here. He did not mention that most of those signed up were unemployed we and some of them were Steel Co. stool pigeons. He said that in the last two weeks the steel workers were not joining as fast as he ex- pected them to, Three dollars is the initiation fee. Bethlehem Steel Company has bought cheap coal from outside mines and are now laying the Bethle- ‘them miners off, only working their own mines when they are compelled to in order to run the steel plants, which are filling war orders. To date not one Negro has joined this Amalagamted Union, and the Negro workers that I have talked to say they will not have anything to do with this sell-out gang. I talked with a number of Beth- lehem Steel workers and without ex- ception they said that they still re- member the sellout of 1919. The ones that I talked to were not mem- bers of any union as yet, and know nothing about any other union. One of the workers, however, said he is going to join the Steel and Metal In- dustrial Union if he joins any at all. E. I Mean Working,” Says One of Ford’s Workers (By an Auto Worker Correspondent) FERNDALE, Mich—Old Henry has been working me jays a week, and when I say working, working. He has us turning out more production now with less men, than we were doing a year ago with more men, and we are also getting only half the pay we did a year ago. So you see we have to work when we are working. Then to make matters more tire- some, I have been walking to the Fair Grounds (2% miles) and home to save the few cents carfare, hoping to be able to save enough to get a license for the car. But the car is still without a license. The Ford Co. announces in today’s Papers, “Ford Puts Rouge on 40- hour Week, Starting Monday. Pro- duction to be Kept at 15,000 Weekly.” What does that mean? It means we are going to turn out as much in five days as we have in six before. More ‘speed-up, If you want my opinion on the N. R.

We have to drink water with white ice in it out of an open bucket on some jobs. In hot weather, the plant stinks from improper toilet locations.

Comrade Editor: :I came into the possession of a filthy-dirty fascist propaganda paper, printed by the German fascists in this country. And today I heard over the radio that four German Com- munists were beheaded at Altona, Germany. But the fascists, who are guilty, go free. When will the work- ers wake up? We know that the class-conscious workers of Germany will take care of themselves, but how long will they have to suffer? They need the help of the entire working-class of the world to stop the bloody hand of Hitler that maniac. The workers in the United States should do something about this bloody fascism, should send del- egations to the German ambassador at Washington.

Y.—The strike in the Acme Steel Foundry ended with some gains for the workers. The moulders will receive 55 cents an hour, laborers, 45 cents, women- spectors 28 cents. The Company recognized a shop committee and also the Union. The strike lasted two weeks. A big strike is being renewed in the Wickwire Spencer Steel Co. A few weeks ago the workers elected a committee which was sent to the manager of the com- pany with demands for the work- ers. The strike ended very quickly at that time. | Now after four weeks these profiteers began to pay off the old | workers and are hiring workers at | lower wages. On Tuesday morn- ing 5 departments walked out, but 3 departments remained at work. We are confident that the rest | of the workers will join the strike | Already the bosses agree to grant our demands but do not want to recognize the Union, which gained over 250 members in three weeks. wae the strike ends I will write all, ‘Ford Worker’ Opened Eyes of Auto Worker to the Class Struggle From an Auto Worker Co: dent DETROIT, Mich—I think. many automobile workers would subscribe “s Deit~ Worker if the Daily Worker would publish more stories ‘ eve. ycay struggles of the workers in the auto industry. Let me tell you that we, new members, .ex- pect every functionary to write a short story to the Daily Worker. True that we have the Michigan Worker to serve this purpose, but the workers in other cities want to know about our conditions and struggles as we do about theirs. Some of our comrades take for granted that all auto workers are class conscious. Let me cit you my own case. Two years ago a comrade L., who is still working with me, brought me a copy of the Daily Worker, It was too deep for me and I was not interested. Then he brought me a copy of the Ford Worker. To tell you the truth, it was the Ford Worker that opened my eyes. It was the stories of the struggles of the Ford workers in the shop that made me a reader of the Daily Worker. Now, why not enlist every Party functionary to write at least one item once a month to the Daily Worker about the every day struggles of the workers? I think such stories would help. Long live The Datly Worker.—F. Pe eee 2 Editor's Note: This would help, but it would be still more effective if in addition to this the workers in the shops wrote about their own condi- tions and struggles, like the workers did whose letters appear in this sec- tion today.

I am no disciple of Fletcher and nothing is so disgusting as to see patrons of the physical torture restaurants chew the cud, for hours, like so many cows. But the other extreme of bolting the food without masticating (chewing it properly, is even worse; mainly be- cause the bolus of food is not suffi- ciently impregnated with saliva and the large chunks coming down the stomach, sooner or later cause gastric disturbances, Finally, we must mention the veg- etarian fallacy. I know that I am treading on dangerous ground and that some comrades believe that veg- etarianism is or should be one of the sacred tenets of Marxian theory, to- gether with anti-vivisection, anti- vaccination, anti-alcoholism, etc. The writer of these lines, himself, at one time belonged to this eccentric fringe. But that was more than twenty-five years ago, before he studied medicine and before he was able to observe some of the untoward effects of a strict vegetarian diet. It is unfor- tunate that scientific dietetics is un- able to support the contentions of the vegetarians. That vegetables are an absolutely necessity in our diet is an axiom that requires no demonstra- tion; but that we can buck the mod- ern strain on our physical and men- tal energies without the consumption of animal food has been shown to be contrary to daily experience, The main drawback of a purely vegetarian diet is the tendency to anemia. Nearly all shop workers, in our climate, who are strict vegeta- rians are poor in blood. In order to regain their health, I am compelled to advise them to add a piece of liver or steak to their diet. Modern science admits, on the other hand, that when a person passes middle age ana withdraws from the fierce struggle for existence which industrial conditions demand; | that it is best for him or her to revert to the diet of childhood, consisting of fruits, vegetables and dairy pro- ducts. i ee ‘ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ‘Ringworm of the Toes » Brooklyn—From your de- script Hon, you are probably suffering from ringworm.
