Cops Are Given New Uniforms While Relief Of Unemployed Is Cut By a Railroad Worker Correspondent WILLIAMSON, W. Va—This city is fast becoming “civilized” and is adopting the ways of our larger and more experienced grafting cities, such as Chicago. Recently, the entire police force was fired during a political shake- up. The new gang of political pirates have appointed a new set of police and have furnished these legalized hoodlums with a complete set of new uniforms and are bragging about the neatness and efficiency of the new police gang.

Road Company Union Stifles Workers’ Struggles The only union this combination of open shoppers are interested in is the company union or open shop. Why? Because the workers in these company unions have no say. The labor and shop crafts company union on the Pennsylvania railroad: (1) it holds no meetings; (2) the committee will never tell the workers what takes place in the monthly meeting with the superintendent; (3) the laborers are not allowed to choose their own representatives; (4) the mechanics and helpers committees have elected themselves for life; therefore, the rank- and file have no say.

Comrade Editor: The Mohegan Colony Unit of the Communist Party, U.S.A., wishes to express through the columns of the Daily Worker, its gratitude to the |non-party comrades of Stetson for the wonderful co-operation and for the use of their grounds for our last affair on August 26. Through their good work, we succeeded in raising $120 for the Daily Worker and the Morning Freiheit, as our contribution towards the revolutionary press. A. Modiano, Organizer. WINNING WOBBLIES Fort Stanton, N. M. | Comrade Editor: I want to write of how the workers and patients here at Ft. Stanton have enthusiastically received the “new” “Daily.” It took this place by storm, As this place is a hospital for sea- men, the serial story, “S. S. Utah,” is especially liked. It is so true to real life aboard~ ship and ashore. Also the column by Comrade Dr. Luttin- ger is very interesting and “witty.” ‘The editorials are, of course, mag- nificent and truly Marxist and Lenin- ist in spirit and character. It is so easy to prove a point in a class-struggle argument with the “Daily” near .at hand, We have gained many ‘sympathizers here in Ft. Stanton, thanks to our paper. If for some reason or other the pa- per isn’t always on time, there are a few who'll raise “Cain,” that’s how eager they ate to read it. On all roads of life one naturally meets people who are confused on especially problems on the class- struggle. Heré, before the “Daily” was known, they read such papers as the New Leader, the Nation. and worst of all the Industrial Worker, besides the rank conservative papers. But only the “Daily” has been able to give them a clear understanding of their troubles and the causes for them, and only the “Daily” has been able to show them how it is possible to have these conditions changed. A year and a half ago the wobblies had quite a few followers here, and with their misleading and disruptive tactics managed, for a little while, to spread their nefarious propaganda and to cause still more confusion. But I’m glad to say that with the help of our own “Daily” we have now these same workers reading our pa- per. They have received through the paper a clear and understanding view of the class struggle, and they have been convinced that the Com- munist Party is the vanguard o” the working class and that only through organizing with our Party will the working class ever be liberated from their oppressors. ets out to raise gardens. The gardens were a failure. So comrades, up the good work. The struggle is hard and the Akron, Ohio, the main rubber manu- facturing center o fthe world, will face a winter of unemployment. Ev- erything indicates that the wayge- houses are now filled to capacity. So now begin mayy layoffs in the rub- ber industry. Hundreds of workers are being laid off each week at the Goodyear, Fire- stone, Goodrich, and other rubber plants in Akron. So serious is the situation that Mr. Litchfield, presi- dent of the Goodyear Rubber and Tire Co, has announced that he will make a personal talk to his employees over a local radio station explaining the dismissals taking place at his plant. The topic of his broadcast will be “Lay-offs at Goodyear.” The present lay-offs follows a spe- cial meeting of rubber barons in New York Clty where the situation in the industry was discussed. A manufac- turers’ code for the industry was also supposed to be drawn up at the New York meeting. However, the meeting of rubber manufacturers resulted in a failure to agree upon a code, which is further indication that prospects are not bright in the rubber industry. To protect the rubber workers dur- ing unemployment and to give them a decent minimum wage the Rubber Workers Industrial Union with offices at 401 Main Street, Akron, Ohio, in consultation with hundreds of workers has drawn up the rubber workers code, This code was unanimously ap- proved by over 1,500 rubber workers on Sept. 9th at Perkins Square ia AKRON, O.— Rubber workers oth Akron, Ohio, So welcome was the code and pro- gram of the RWIU that the workers decided to elect a large delegation which will present the code in Wash- ingten at the rubber code hearing. Although scores of company spies and bosses came to this open meeting to terrorize the workers, over 100 joined the RWIU at the meeting. ‘This in- di¢ates the spirit and willingness of the workers to organize against the low wages and tremendous speed-up conditions in the industry. 1 rubber workers throughout the country are asked to give full support to this code. 1, 35 hour work weekly as a maximum, 2 Wages: 96 cents per hour minimum: 30 per cent increase to cover rise in cost of living for all Babee now receiving 96 cents per our, 3.

ICOR AND ANTI-SEMITISM New York, N. Y. Comrade Editor: Why is it that in view of the re- cent happenings in Germany, par- ticularly the persecution of the Jews, the ICOR organization is not even mentioned in any of the columns of the Daily Worker? Here is an op- portunity for the ICOR to show to the millions of Jewish workers how minority groups are treated in the USSR. A proper use of the situation could have enlisted the support of un- told numbers. Yet, although I am a constant reader of the Daily, I find no mention of the existence of this organization. Are they still alive? If so, why don’t we hear from them? Comradely yours, L. K. eee ees Editor's Note: We agree that in its activity and in its agitation, the ICOR should draw the‘contzest be- tween the treatment of the Jews by the Nazis, and the deliberate root- ing out of Anti-Semitism in the So- viet Union. OUR “NEW DEAL” Portland, Me. Comrade Exitor: Congratulations! The Deily Worker has given us a “New Deal” even if Roosevelt's deal has proved a raw one. The néw features and articles are O.K. and should increase circu- lation immensely. Even in this stronghold of “rugged individualism,” Daily Worker sales are picking up. Keep up the good work and-the “Blue Buzzard” will go the way of all the other Hoover and Roosevelt “hot-air” projects. May I suggest that we have more articles explaining the furidamental of Communism. Many workers are moré interested in just how a Soviet system would benefit the workers of this country , than in the tactics which must be used to bring about the change to that form of society. When a worker understands what the working class has to gain, he is easily convinced of the necessity of revolutionary struggle. Comrate Foster, in his eleciio: campaign speech fully covered this, and something along that line in the “Daily” should accomplish much in bringing new workers into’ the move- ment, @.

Street Car Workers Seek to Organize Union By a Worker Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—I_ should like to have the address of the union which street railway workers belong to. There has been an effort to start a union. Twelve workers were fired at Luzerne Car Barn for organizing, and another small group disciplined. This barn, I believe, is the largest in Philadelphia. They are trying to or- ganize in the Southern barn. which is also large. At the Richmond Barn, all but two refused to vote at the elec- tion of committeemen to represent them. Ten per cent of the workers’ wages was deducted each week to buy com- pany stocks and was placed in a wage fund. Each year the workers received a “handsomely engraved Wage Fund Certificate.” Another amount to take care of pensions, sick benefits, ete., was also Placed in company stocks. This stock is not paying dividends so the Co- operative Fund was forced to borrow money from the company to the ap- proximate amount of $4,000,000. At present, the city, through Judge Harry McDevitt (whom the Interna- tional Labor Defense knows so well from the recent case of two union bakers held under $1,000 bail on a charge of kidnapping), has appointed three directors to the company board (who control the vote for five years on the workers’ stocks) to reorganize the company. When they are through the transit workers who bought stock in the company will probably have nothing. One of the city-appointed directors, Herbert Tily, is head of Sirawbridge 4 Clothier and the N.R.A. Committee. The underlier stock, which is not a paid-up stock, earns dividends on its face value. which makes profits on its various stocks about 50 per cent, yet they own practically none of the physical property of the com- pany, merely holding franchises giv- en to them for nothing and are good for 99 years, making the workers and riders suffer by the low wages and high fares. Editor's Note: A letter has al- ready been sent to this worker, but for the benefit of other workers in this industry and in Philadelphia, guidance im organizing struggles for better conditions can be ob- tained by applying to the Trade Union Unity Council at 49 North 8th St., Philadelphia, Pa. Filthy Conditions On Subway Newsstands By a Subway Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—Because there is no union—orevalent. disorganization—in the subway news-stands—ihe news dealers who work for Collier's Adver- tising Service, not forgetting the night assistants. have to undergo nauseating conditions. , Often the workers in the newstands can’t get. an inspector to relieve them any time during the day, and for their natural needs they are forced to urinate in a filthy milk bottle, concezling themselves behind a con- venient partition. When the worker is through with his day’s work, only then may he dispose of his bodily waste. As sure as there are accidents, it is not rarely that a worker accidentally upsets the hidden container. Acci- dents of the aforementioned nature re ‘2 “‘commonnla: i t larger category are no exc2ptions. As for the exceedingly low pay, it is the same old story: No organiza- tion.

The RWIU warns the rubber work- ers. against ah sorts of fake unions being organized in the industry, The sad exnerience’ of several years ago, when thousands of dollars in fees and aus \ure collected from the rubber workers and no organization resulted, must not be repeated. The American Federation of Labor leadershin is »1!s0 busy trying to organize “federal lo- cals” presumably on an sauusvisal basis. But it is already quite clear that the members so recruited are being divided into the international craft unions. Not only is the A. F. of L. officialdom dividing the workers along craft lines but also into radi- cals and’ conservatives. Militants who want to strike and fight for their rights and decent living wages are not welcome because the A. F. of L, has become a partner of the NRA—which means recovery for the bosses. The A. F. of L. has sold away all the rights of organized labor, for the right to collect fees and dues from the work- ers. Only if the rubber workers or- ganize into the RWIU, independent of the bosses and the A. F. of L. bu- reaucrats, can they win, through mi- litant strike action, decent working conditions and more pay to meet the constantly rising cost of living. CARRYING OUT THE OPEN How the LETTER. Steel Union Grows in Pittsburgh Region “What Are We Doing ts Turn the Slave Pens of Capitalism Into Strongholds of Anti-Capitalism” By JACK JOHNS I (District Organizer, District No, 5) Party, with a very weak and inadequately functioning i] “A Communist ‘ONE ts organization in the big factories and among the decisive sections of the American industrial workers, a Communist Party, whose entire policy, whose entire agitation and propaganda, whose entire daily work is not concentrated on winning over and 9—+——- mobilizing these workers and win- ning of the factories, a Commu- nist Party which, through its \reyo- lutionary trade union work, does not build highways to the broadest masses of workers, cannot lay claim to a policy capable of mak- ing it the leader of the working class within the shortest possible time.” (From Open Letter pg. 12.) If there is any needed emphasis to this basic requirement for the build- ing of a Communist Party, it is sup- plied by the N. R. A. and its slave codes. In this respect and in the light of the open letter, we must an- swer what are we doing to root our Party and the revolutionary union in the factories? What are we doing to turn these slave pens of capital- ism into strongholds of anti-cap- italism? In the Pittsburgh District, concen- tration is for coal and steel. Here I wish to deal with steel and the tasks set by the open letter and the District Party resolution. Some of the tasks to be accomplished in our six months plan of work have been far surpassed but in most of the fundamental tasks we lag quite far behind. Since the adoption of the district resolution, the Steel and Metal Workers Union has grown from a skeleton organization in the Pitta burgh District into a mass organiza- tion with a membership of between three thousand and four thousand, with branches in some nine mills, some of them including the majority of the workers, with a membership as high as 900 out of 1,000 workers, as in Greensburg. There are besides these mill locals, substantial groups in a dozen other mills. The winning of a number of struggles have created a very favor- able base for the establishing of the Steel and Metal Workers Union throughout the Pittsburgh district. ‘The concentration of the A. F. of L. in the Ambridge territory and the workers’ answer to this in the dem- onstration on Labor Day of 5,000 workers under the leadership of the S. M. W. I. U. expresses the tremen- dous sentiment for a fighting union. The Steel and Metal Workers In- dustrial Union has answered quite poldly the attempts to disrupt the union with the red scare propaganda. The union forces are being consoli- dated. The mill branches are func- tioning. The district board is being strengthened. Local headquarters are being set up and delegated city-wide committees from the mill branches are strengthening the organization. At this writing strike preparations are being made in Greensburg for sub- stantial wage increases, a number of mill demands and recognition of the union. A district conference of young stéel and metal workers was called for September 17th to strengthen the Work among young boys and girls in the industry. In this manner the union is being consolidated and a broad group of new leaders are being developed. However, with this splendid achievement, there are a number of Weaknesses of a fundamental char- acter that have to be overcome in order to more firmly consolidate the union. To acomplish this it is ne- cessary to developing a leadership end a membership conscious of the role of the union; conscious of the fact that a union that sets out to compel the powerful steel interest to grant a living wage, better working conditions, shorter hours without re- duction in pay, unemployed relief and insurance, recognition of the un- ion or mill committees, should un- derstand the relation of forces, the class character of the struggle; to understand why men such as the leader of the Independent Union in the American Bridge fight against affiliation or unity with the 8. M. W. I...U. continuously bring forward the t »s’ ‘deology expressed by him so | often, “Be fair with the company.” ‘This is the bosses’ propaganda. This is, the program of the A. A, This is the program of the leaders of the Socialist Party, who merge with the A. F. of L. in their support of the N. R. A. and the slave steel code. Party Recruitment Weak The bosses shout that the Commu- nist Party controls the S. M. W. I. U. It is true that many Communists are members of the Union. That Jim Egan, the Communist candidate for Mayor for the city of Pittsburgh, and others are outstanding leaders of the union, but the Communist Party con- siders that one of the weaknesses of the union is that there are not enough Communists. ‘That in every mill where is a mill branch there should be a Communist unit, Our weakness is that this the case, and while were recruited to the little more than a cruited to the party at (Sept. 5). A Communist mill, an understanding workers that the Communist their Party, is the best guarantee that the union will grow stronger numerically, organizationally, Amore rapid recruitment to the party is necessary to the strengthening of the union. by PAUL LUTTINGER, M.D. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Diet in Anemia S.S., Philadelphia: You seem to know so much more than we do about diet that we hesitate to advise you. How the devil do you know that starches and “proteids” should never be eaten together? Don’t you know that the very bread you eat is a mixture of starch and protein. From your use of the obsolete word proteid, instead of protein, it seems that you have been reading some naturopathic or monodiet “literature.” Butter and sweet cream have no iron and are not indicated in anemia. But the way, how do you know you are anemic? Did a physician examine you or are you just guessing? Nervousness N.N.: The perspiration, rush of blood to the face and the “shortness of breath” which you experience in front of an audience is due to self- consciousness. This has nothing to do with fear. The most courageous person can have stage-fright when he appears before an audience or he can blush and stammer the most idiotic phrases to a slip of a girl with whom } he is in love. Don’t pay any atten- tion to the temperature of your body or the occasional pain at the back of your head. Forget yourself and in time the sensations will disappear. wet an ee Sexual Frigidity? J.M.: You forgot to enclose post- age; but even if you did, I could not write you about a subject’ which can only be discussed in a personal inter- view. You may or may not be frigid, or you may be cold with one person and the opposite with another. Your fears are probably exaggerated. Next time you are in New York, try to ar- range for a friendly chat; bringing your comrade along, if possible. oe Te Dandruff Vernice S.: You forgot to tell us the age and whether the scalp is dry or oily. An oily skin requires an entirely different treatment from a dry scalp, Don’t use vaseline in any case. Your interest in our column is not half as great as ours in your story which appeared in the September is- sue of the Pioneer. If you are the Vernice who wrote it, allow us to congratulate you and your family for the good work you are doing. Your father’s courageous struggle, against the almost super-human odds cf 2 paralyzed back, is an inspiration to all of us. _ * Three Abortions—$600—Hemorrhages A.M., Atiantic City: Your case il- justrates the heartlessness, the greed, and ‘the inefficiency of some of the members of our profession.
