We were there long before the parade started, selling the N. R. A. pamphlets, | then following the parade on the| sidewalks and keeping on selling. We went into the armory. I found a seat on the end of a| row, so that I would be the first to get out with the pamphlets after the meeting. But between the meeting, three Legionairres | came and asked me what I had in the box. I had three different | pamphlets in my hand: He jerked} these three out of my hand and} told me to be careful After the meeting, I went out and was selling again, but the| same fascists came up to me. “Hey, you, if you get in here again} we're going to knock your teeth| beat you, and we are going to| ou ve you castor oil and send you} back to Sweden.” | These fascists got their exper- ience from Mussolini of Italy, and| Hitler of Germany, what to use} and how to torture the workers | who are fighting for the right to| live and for better conditions. “TION SYMPOSIUM Yew York City was held on | Hollywood | tein for the Socialist } Robert Kee Party and Minor, re- | sponded to the vali.

Comrade Editor In listening to a speaker of the Socialist Labor Party, I was very much amazed to hear certain utter- ances that were as revolutionary as that of the Communist Party. The speaker spoke of the organ- ization of the masses in the mines, also not organization of unskilled workers. He accused the Socialist Party lead- ers @ group of misleaders and hypocrites. He called the American Federation of Labor leaders a bunch | of fakers, etc. What I am deeply concerned about is this: thing about the true character of What is its role? What does it really stand for? | enahe te A series of articles on the Social- ist Labor Party by James Allen appeared in the Daily Worker: be- ginning Oct. 3.

NEW YORK. — The Gottfried Bakery, Union Ave., bet. 155th and 166th St., New York, is a big open shop owned by a Jewish boss, but it supports fascism, Most of the workers are Jewish. The foreman is a German Nazi. He does all he po: sibly can to provoke the Jewish wor he came in with a German The other day cuted, claiming that the same will be done to Jews here too pretty soon. When I answered that if he were such a strong Nazi why did he work for a Jew. He had me fired.

Has Got in Chester Plants (By a Worker Correspondent) CHESTER, Pa.—Information from a reliable source discloses some im-~ portant facts as to what success the A. F. of L. has had in their organ- ization drive along the Delaware River front at Chester, Pa. The A. F. of L. claims 11,000 mem- bers in their drive. At $2 per head this would net $22,000. However, the majority of those who signed applica- tion blanks did not pay their initia- tion fees, and I believe the A. F. of L. got nearer 4,000 members. At the Sun Ship there was ap- | proximately 2,000 workers when the Burners struck. A small per centage of the workers were organized, as the appeal was made only to the ma- chinists, burners, and boiler-makers. At the Fayette Brick Co., another small group were “taken in,” some workers were laid off and replaced by other workers, and no one tried to find out why. At the Atlantic Tube Works, in South Chester, the A. F. of Li. lost out entirely. At the time of the strike here, the workers in this factory were out 100 per cent, calling for an in- dustrial union. The A. F. of L. claims 2,500 of the 4,000 workers at the Viscose Silk Mills at Marcus Hook. Workers at the Standard Oil, which were most enthusiastic in the organ- ization of the oil plants, including the Sun and Pure Oil, are being dis- charged for talking unionism. Of the 1,131 workers in the Congo- leum plant at Linwood, near Marcus Hook, the A. F. of L. claims 300 mem- bers. At the “ord plant they claim 700, and it is said that there were 3,000 to 5,000 employed at the plant when the strike took place. At the West Virginia barrel factory, where they have organized an A. F. of L. union, five men have been fired for talking unionism in the factory and complaint has been made to the N.R.A. Labor Board, without the reinstatement of the workers to date. 84-Hour Week at Beresford Hotel By a Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—At the Beresford | Hotel (81st St. and Central Park West), which, I believe, is owned by the notorious Rebus Corp.

LOS. ANGELES, Calif—At the hotel in Los Angeles called the Alex- andria, on 5th and Spring, men are getting $45 a month and they work 10 and 11 hours a day and seven days a week. Since the N, R. A. they laid off some men, but some of the men only work nine hours a day now. On account of the men they laid off, one man now does the work that two men did. They have a stoolpigeon there to see that you don’t sit down or come a couple of minutes late. Most of the men have wives and kids, and by the time they get their $22.50 and pay their rent and food they don’t have much left.

Every member in the unit has a hand in it. I am enclosing a copy of it. Each member has one. More than just making a plan, we have immediately started to work on it. We are to have our first open mect- ing on the 21st. The leaflet I spoke of above is part of it also. F. S.

A small rider leaf- let is gotten out like the following: “Your Dollar Under Roosevelt” is the narsze of a small pamphlet that every worker should read. Many questions that have been puzzling you are answered in this inexpensive @——— discuss the plan, and show how the splendid initiative shown by this new unit was discouraged by the leader- ship. The importance of every unit hay- ing a hectograph has been tmphe- sized before. The experience of the German Communist Party since it! has been driven underground, shows us how necessary it is for every unit to have the means of printing lit- erature. Todey the “Rote Fahne” is distributed to the working class of Germany by the means of mimeo- graphs and hectographs in the hands of small groups of comrades. From Comrade LeMartel, of the ‘Theatre of the Workers School, we have further directions for making hettographs, which will make the buying of the hectograph jelly un- necessary. His letter follows: “Hectographs cost about $1.50 for note size and $2.25 for letter size, but they cost considerably less when home made. Here is a formula for those who want to save or for those who cannot conveniently buy them: ++ one part . two parts (do not use the white variety, as it . one - four parts “Soak the gelatin in the water over- night. Then pour all the ingredients in a double boiler and heat until all is melted. Then pour while warm in a shallow pan—a bread or cake pen will be just right. If bubbles have formed, wash out with tepid water after the whole mass has set. “The special liquid used to correct mistakes made on stencils is rather expensive and the same results can be obtained by using “Collodion,” which can be obtained from the drug store for about a dime an ounce. If this. cannot be easily obtained, the liquid nail polish that can be bought at the 5 and 10 cents store will do the’ same trick, - “In cutting the stencils, do not use a needle, blunt or otherwise, but in the absence of a stylus make one up with a nail stuck in a piece of wood for a handle. The point of the nail should be smoothened out on fine sandpaper to avoid its tear- ing the stencil. The most efficient tool for making- letters on posters and other announcements is the let- tering pen called “Speed-Ball.” They come in different sizes and make’ very easily legible and good looking signs. The lettering will look better if it is made first with this pen on the backing sheet with this pen and then traced over with the stylus or nail.” NAME ......

Thousands of gallons of gargling remedies are being pre- scribed by physicians and sold by pharmacists. In the winter months the gurglings of the gargling can be heard all over the land! And the finest part of this comical procedure is that physician, druggist and patient are firmly convinced that the gargle is a life saver. But ask any prominent nose and throat specialist who teaches at a medical school, what he thinks about gargling. If he is honest and has learned from observation, he must admit that gargling is of no use what- soever. A moment's reflection will convince anyone who knows some physiology that the mechanism which auto- matically guards the entrance of the trachea (windpipe) will not allow any liquid to get near it. This act is known as gagging and is a defense mechanism against any liquid or solid particles getting into the lung and causing asphyxiation (choking). Long before the gargle reaches the tonsils, gagging takes place and the liquid is expelled, If gargles are useless in adults, they are doubly superfluous in chil- dren, because they gag even quicker than grown ups and have not suffi- cient muscular control to let the water go further than the palate. And yet, patients claim that the gargle helps them. This can only be ex- Plaine d on psychological grounds and by the fact that the cool liquid against the heat (feverish) throat gives a momentary sensation of relief. But the gargle never reaches the ton- sils and if it did, it would have no effect, anyhow. As we explained in the previous article, the gargling fluid could never] Branch, your o be “strong” enough to kill the bac-| collection for the Dafly Worker? teria on the tonsils, let alone those| Hetp save our “Da!=* inside the tonsils. If the throat and tonsils could pe influenced by any antiseptic solu- tion, it would be more logical to spray them with an atomizer. The best method is to paint them with argyrol or foline. _ ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Shrimps and Lobsters in Ancmis D. V., Joplin, Mo.—The eating of shrimps, * lobsters’ and other crus- taceans may help indirectly in cases of anemia. They contain copper, which acts as a catalytic agent for the fixation of iron in the blood. A catalytic substance 1s one which does not take part itself in a chemical re- action but which seems ‘to influence it in some manner which we cannot explain, This is the reason why phy- sicians prescribe now small amounts of copper in the iron tonics.
