Paze Four “To Hell With Pact,” Says Cleaning and Dyeing Boss 50: Workers on Strike i Dise n Boston Shop Against harges By a Textle Worker Correspondent BOSTON, Mass.—“To hell with the agreement!’ said Simon Padover, boss of the Troy Dyeing and Cleaning shop, when the shop committee pro- tested the discharge of two workers with the employers. Refusing to confer with the shop committee, isvcompulsory, Mr. Padover stated with unprintable vehemence that he would have nothing whatsoever to do with the union, and that he would run his own business. ‘The whole shop, numbering 50 odd workers, members of the Dye House Workers’ Industrial Union, have g¢ on strike and are now picketing the plan Where the Workers And Farmers Rule well by at work which ison steel mill, and very mul Almost ever I go to visit Comrade Giambattista who was de- nia, We have ported from Pe tim I remem- of the friend: at Montour They were all e company and thei able.

I was working as a salesman and I always helped in the same kind of case, but he still re- fused to put me on the extra list that day. He was looking around for some of his friends. On Sunday the food workers had a meeting. to the hall watching to see how many meeting. I asked him why he doesn’t go up to the meeting. He told me, the liar, that he was waiting for some of his friends. I called him yellow and damn liar and he went away. That night I joined the Food Workers Industrial Union, It cost me 25 cents.

He, in case you haven’t heard of him, is a patriot. He fels that the reason | we are having this depression is be~ | cause people do not buy enough | American made goods.

And so he has started the Society of American Industrial Leade: This | organization is going to sail right into prosperity. They are going to hold a big exposition this January | or February at the Port of New York Authority Building. Can you imag- ine, he confided, an entire floor—800 feet by 200 feet—16.000 square feet of flour space being used for Ameri- can made products?

How is it possible, he wanted to know, for an idea like this to fail? A ROGUES’ GALLERY ere, Md. Editor fter reading the exposure of | Glickman, the stool-pigeon, in the | recent Daily Worker, the following idea came to my mind in which the Daily Worker could improve itself and help the workers. Some workers, in exposing the role of the leaders of the reformist unions that Woll, Green, etc., are boss-con- trolled betrayers, but do not know the history of most of the betrayals these fakers were involved in, and thus their arguments do not have much influence, Therefore I would suggest that the | “Daily” print serially the pictures and | brief history of these labor betray- | ers-—so that workers will really have | at their finvertins and will learn the roles played by the so-called leaders of labor.

An- other instance of the same sort oc- curred when a foreman lately used a piece of iron pipe to hit a Negro truck driver working for a freight- ing company that usually hauls the cotton from the Anderson Clayton mill. This affair was aired in the local court and the judge admitted that he had already heard reports show- | ing the terrible conditions prevailing in the Anderson Clayton slave hole. Before the period of the bally- hooed N. R. A., the workers at this cotton mill were getting 20 cents an hour, working from 13 to 14 hours a day. But after Roosevelt sprang his Simon Legree system upon Ameri- can workers, the Anderson Clayton Co. cut the day’s grind to eight hours, but altered the pittance in lieu of wages to only 25 cents an hour, which means a wage cut for the week.

Ashland Blvd., at $35 a month. Having two children and a wife, it was hard for me to get along on it. But I took it just the same. ‘When they called me they took in 18 new nurses.

Extra Work ‘When I came down there, they told me that they had three chamber- maids, and instead of getting one more they would hire me. I was to | mop all the rooms, clean all bathroom floors, walls, clean toilet bowls, tus and sinks. All bathrooms were to be scrubbed three times and mopped three times a week besides all other work, and I was to get off every other Sunday afternoon and every Thursday afternoon.

Resolutions and reports from our’ hiding the Party workers. In this connection we should read again, and take to heart the words of Comrade Stalin addressed to the First All-Union Congress of Collec- | tive Farm Shock Brigade Workers on | the attitude of Party members to} non-Party workers and farmers, Although Comrade Stalin was speaking of Party members in the rural districts of the Soviet Union, his remarks apply with particular ap- | propriateness to our own Party, which also has many members “so puffed up about their belonging to the Party that they do not permit a non-Party | person to come near them.” Read | what Comrade Stalin has to say on | the relation of Party members to} non-Party workers: from the Former Socialists Help Support ‘Daily’ Member of ‘the Nature Friends, Greta Kornfeld collected $15.50 for the Daily Worker in a short time. She is continuing her efforts. She Pes, GRETA KORNFELD was also active in the last Daily Worker Drive.

There are Communists who approach the non- Party farmers in a bolshevik manner, ‘\ But there are Communists who are so puffed up about their belo ‘ng to the Party that they do not r ait & non-Pariy person to come nedr them. This is bad and harmful. The strength of the Bolsheviks, the strength of the Commiuhists, Mes in the fact that they are ‘able to rally millions of active non-Party workers We Bolsheviks would never haye achieved the suc- cesses we have now achieved had we not been able to win for the Party the confidence of millions of non- Party workers and peasants. And what is required for this? For this it is required that the members of the Party should not isolate them. selves from the non-Party workers and peasants, that the Party mem- bers should not withdraw into their Party shell, that they should not be puffed up about their belonging to the Party, but that they should heed the voice of the non-Party workers and peasants, that they should not only teach the non-Party. workers and peasants, but also.dearn from them, 7 “It must not be forgotten that Party members do not drop from the skies. We must remember that all Party members at one time were not members of the Party. Today he is non-Party, tomorrow he will become a member of -the Party. What is there to get puffed up about? Among us old Bolsheviks there are not a few who have been working in the Party for 20 or 30 years. But we too were non-Party at one time or an- other, What would have happened to us 20 or 30 years ago had the Party members at that time domineered over us and refused to let us join the Pacty? Perhaps we would. then have been kept away from the Party for @ number of years. But, comrades, we old Bolsheviks aré not the last peo- ple in the world. “That is why our Party members, the present young Party “members, who sometimes turn their noses up at the non-Party. workers and peas- ants should remember all this, should remember that jt is not boastfulness but modesty that is the adornment cf the Bolshevik.” f i Join the Com | NAME ‘especially if the patient happens to | fen retire aie is often beaten by | them before being admitted to the hospital.

Scores Arrested in Memphis Terror MEMPHIS, Tenn.. Nov. 9.—An un- known number of Negro and white workers, estimated at several score, have been arrested and are being held incommunicado in a reign of terror announced by Chief of Police Will D. Lee as a campaign “to wipe out Communism.” The arrested workers, after the third degree, are still held incom~ | municado, and fines imposed on them at random, which must be worked out on the chain gang. No opportunity is given them for any defense, and most are not even brought into court. otis is all being conducted right in my office,” Chief Lee has an- nounced. “We are getting at the roots of this thing.” The charges usually preferred are “creating ® disturbance,” but Chief Lee has admitted that suspicion of sympathy with the Unemployed Councils or the Communist Party is sufficient evidence for him. This reign of terror is closely con- nected with the public works pro- gram under R. F. C., with the cot- ton plow-under program, and with the preparations being made all over the South for the new Scottsboro lynch trials. Resistance of the masses 5! of Negro and white toilers to star- to being “plowed- under,” and their organization in unity to help save the Scottsboro boys is the target of the terror reign.

F. O., served 60 days on the chain-gang, and faces another, longer sentence, now being appealed. Blanket orders have been issued by the police to ar- test him on sight. Meantime, he has wired an urgent message to the national office of the International Labor Defense in New York, asking that an appeal be made for widest protest from all over the country against the reign of terror, in the form of letters, resolutions and wires to Chief of Police W. D, Lee, Memphis, Tenn., demanding the im- mediate release of all arrested work- ers, Negro and white, and an end to arrests and terrorization.

At any |rate, neither a stiff neck, a bad liver, |nor a wodden leg are sufficient ex- cuses to stay away from the F, S. U. celebration in honor of Ambassador Litvinoff. We expect to be there in | spite of the seven-year itch, Fae Rae) There Ain't No Such Grass Martin B.—We have advised you several times that there is no drug which would cause a man to hate wo~ men. We do not believe that a grass having such properties grows in Jugo~ slavia—or anywhere else. Please do not write again, unless you give us the name of the book in which you have found such a statement. * * “pink Toothbrush.” Elsie W.—There is no such disease as “pink toothbrush.” This term, like “halitosis” and body odor (“B. O.”) is played up by certain mercan- tile interests with the object of scar- ing the gullible readers of false ad- vertisements into the use of their pro- ducts. Any person using the tooth brush long and energetically enough will cause the gums to bleed and the brush to become tinted pink. There are some comparatively rare condi- tions in which the gums are spongy and bleed easily. But the common pink tinge is usually due to excessive brushing of the teeth. Stop using the brush and wash your mouth with plain water (a teaspoonful of salt to a glass of water) and your “dis- ; ease” will disappear in 8 few days. Vaginal Douche. Mae G., East Orange, N. J.—The best vaginal douche for your condi- tion, and inridentally the least ex~- pensive, should consist of one table- spoonful of boric acid, bicarbonate of soda and alum to two quarts of luke- warm water. It is more effective than any of the expensive antiseptic pow- ders which are sold in pretty gold or silver boxes and have such alluring colors and intriguing odors. ‘The hand bulb is to be preferred to the hanging douche bag, because the water is propelled with more force and the swirl created cleanses more | thoroughly than the thin lackadaisi- cal streams from the bag. Dysentery? X. Y. Z., Indianapolis.—Try a tea- spoonful of calcium lactate before ezch meal. Your druggist will sell you a pound of it at wholesale price. Mix the calcium (lime) in half a glass of water. Your description does not sound like real dysentery.. Your en- thusiasm about the column is flatter- ing, but we fear the delay in replying to your query has cooled your ardor by now. * Exercise for Toeing-Qut. ® Robert W., Stelton, N. J.—Arches are of no use in this condition. Insist that your little son walk wit large toes facing each other, of meeting. In t his position,’ toes touching and heels’ apart) him rise on his toes about. times, in the morning, noon night. Let him do these exercises barefoot and, if possible, in front & @ mirror. * * slr i oe) oe An Interesting Suggestion. “KEEN’S DRUG STORS “Fourth and Buchanan Sts, “Bethlehem, Pa, “Dear Dr. Luttinger: 5 “I heartily agree with’ You that dolar speaks louder than a ht compliments and, thereforé, I like make a suggestion to the readers the “Daily Worker” and especially to those who enjoy. your, column sd much: I am sure that many a worker has profited from your column with its wealth of information”and sound advive, so may I suggest''that there should be a weekly contribution from all the readers of your column in or- der that it may continue. } Enclosed find 25 cents atid I hope the others will follow me.’ With comradelv greetings, NELLIE KEEN.
