Asks for Action At State Labor Office Dear Editor: Since the State Labor Bureau has been moved to Duffield and Wil- loughby Streets in Brooklyn, the Un- employed Council has not held one demonstration there. If you have any suggestions to offer I am sure that I as well as the many unem- ployed at the so-called Labor Bureau would appreciate it. —A WORKER. EDITOR'S NOTE: The Unem- ployed Worker Correspondent is right in protesting that the Unemployed Council is doing no work at the so- called labor bureaus. Particularly today it is most important that com- mittees of the Unemployed Councils mingle with the workers at these supposed employment agencies. The masses of’ workers today believe that NIRA is going to give them work. They go to the bureaus with the idea that jobe are to be obtained in plenty, That it is a racket in order to “string” the workers along, is ob- vious. But there is nobody to ex- plain it to the workers, to organize them and lead them in struggle. The Unemployed Council shou! immediately organize meetings at all such bureaus and at the same time assign members of the Council to mix with the workers, draw them in- to the Gouncil and lead struggles for their relief, All he wanted was a * 8 years, and half-starved; but any- how, I will do my best to send anything, to contribute, for the “Daily” will always be 6 or more | pages daily. meals same as before, but the in- | After the NRA was posted up, the | | | 1 | | | | | | ; Communist crease which they received is taken | weekly for their meals. | (From a Negro Worker Correspondent) _NORTH BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — T was walking on 34th Street and 31st Ave. on my way to see a neigh- bor when I met a police dick and his partner.

He even admitted to the investiga- tion committee that: 1) He had private conferences GEORGE E. HORN. with the chief of police of Wilkins- Defense with a list of the names and | burg. 2) Private conferences with the Burgess of Wilkinsburg, and lunches with Dunbar, assistant relief director of Allegheny County. 3) That he haa received money from some one but refused to say who on the grounds that “it was no one’s business.” While only ae ;member of the Communist Party for | four months, his actions against the | Party policy caused suspicion and an | 4) He was seen to enter the sheriff's | Office, where ‘he stayed for more than an hour. Company Agreement In spite of this evidence, the Party was unable to convince the workers of Wilkinsburg that he was a stool pigeon and should be ousted from the Council: The result of this fail- {ure to thoroughly expose a spy was \that he managéd to turn the Unem- | ployed Council into an agent of the Peoples Gas Company. He put over in the Couneil, with the support of jmany honest workers, an agreement which says in part: “. That we encourage our members to cooper- ate with the Gas Company.” Work- ers are asked to cooperate with the company and “use the gas as eco- nomically as possible and not to use it for heat where coal can be used. “There will be no further arrests and the charges will be dropped on men arrested, if the cooperative plan is carried out,” states the agreement. Horn, when. asked by a worker what was meant by cooperation, stated quite frankly, “To give the names of any worker using gas without a meter and not paying.” It also meant “that unemployed work- ers will work to pay their bills and those now working will be laid off.” The Communist Party recruited Horn because they thought they saw in him a real fighting leader of the workers. It was not long until he disclosed himself for what he was— @ spy. There are 18 warrants out in Wil- kinsburg against workers. Who gave the names or the houses to go to get the names? There is no doubt that it was all planned with Horn. The present agreement is one made to destroy the Unemployed Council." It will destroy the Council unless the workers take over their council and expel Horn the spy, and restore it to what it was—one of the best or- ganizations in Allegheny County.

Time and circum- stances have a way of solving it which no amount of introspection will accomplish. Masturbation, “wet dreams” and attempts to “make a girl” will alternate until the oppor- tunity for normal relations will pre- sent itself. The fact that you are physically and mentally ahead of your chronological age will probably help you solve the problem earlier in spite of your “timidity” which in your case, is not lack of courage, but of experience. With all due respect to the book you quote, we do believe in sublimation of the sex impulse. Some people suppress it so completely ,|that they suffer from certain inhi- bitions for the rest of their life. Par- tial sublimation, like being active in Party work, sports, lectures, hobbies, etc., are beneficial during the trying period of sexual adjustment, Wate ® Private and Public Replies R.R.—Our replies to questions are | mainly for the information of all the Is Beaten by Dicks 2:22, of the Daily Worker, not for your individual benefit.
