Va.—Mrs. Roosevelt rode on the Blue Buzzard to Morgan- town, W. Va., recently. On the first trip Mrs. Roosevelt came to visit the unemployed workers. She sent us empty fruit jars for a present, but we have nothing to put in these jars. The jars only cost 65c a doren in the stores here, but we had to work one day on the R. F. C. for them.

J —H. 8., of this Worker states, “The Daily Worker is not a bosses’ paper. I like it better than any other paper because it is for the workers. It tells the truth about working conditions. Every worker should read it.” HELEN A clipping from cago Tribune has been sent us} —one which lets the cat out of the bag about the manner in which the bourgeoisie sometimes slips in its own banana oil It seems that at a press conference mm Washington, Ellen Woodward, Cirector of woman’s work for the Zederal relicf administration, “was sinking in @ sea of questions” and had “got all mixed up in her dis- cussion of the pay schedules for women,” when Mrs. Roosevelt dashed to the rescue. ‘Women given jobs in civil works service projects receive, regardless how skilled their labor, a “minimum” of 30 cents an hour; but a “mini- mum” of 90 cents an hour is paid for unskilled labor in other relief ‘Te Exist—Or Not To Exist—on 99 a Week fo quote from the article: “There has been no trouble,” Mrs. ‘Woodward started to say. “©, yes there has’ chorused helt ® dozen voices.” So there ensued an argument be- tween the newspaper gals and Mrs. Woodward, in the course of which One of the gals figured out that 30 cents an hour for a 30 hour week gave 2 girl (maybe = nurse or a teacher) the magnificent sum of $9 @ week to live on. When asked if anybody could live on that, Mrs. Woodward replied that if not, supplementary relief would be received by the women. The “sob sisters” pointed out that this would be charity, and “not what a teacher, or nurse, or anybody wants.” So Of Course — Everything Wil Be Jake Now. It was at this point that Mrs. Roosevelt hauled the floundering director of woman's work out of the bog by asking if the difficulty were not with the classification of skilled and unskilled labor, and announc- ing that women doing skilled work should be so classified. So the wrath of the newspaper ladies was appeased, Mrs. Woodward Promised to “take that up at the conference” and “left just as soon as she could.” The headline on the above- described article is a demagogic honey. It reads: “Mrs. Roosevelt Comes to Aid Fellow Worker.” How those “workers” do sweat for @ living! ‘ e Russian Mushroom Soup Boil a cup of rice in rather ® lot of salted water; when nearly done, add a cupful of chopped, cooked mushrooms, and finish cooking rice.

The coal company had refused to put in scales, to which it had agreed to months ago. The cars held much more than they paid for. The cars held over five s, but the miners are peid only $1.09 or 20¢ a ton, which coal is sold for $9 to $10 in the cities. The coal bosses found even this to be too much, and tried to make the miners’ wages still lower, in which the U. M. W. A. officials gave the bosses 100 ner cent co-operation. They ordered miners back to work. In the agreement they put down that all grievances must be settled by collective bargaining and all strikes are illegal. So this strike they declared illegal, too. The company broke the agreement. The scales should have been in use @ long time ago. ‘The miners were tired of such bargaining which meant to them 8-10 more tons to load without pay.

Although the unemployed miners work their mines on the land owned by the coal barons they are not ar- rested inasmuch as the law would require payment to keep the men in jail. They can, however, without paying, manage to get the men con- véicted on such charges as giving short weights. A number of bootleg miners were arrested on these charges recently.

The “Daily Worker” will publish as many of these letters as possible, and the best fifteen will appear in the trade union paper of the workers of the Soviet Union. UMWA Against Mass Struggle _ to Force Relief (By s Mine Worker Correspondent) REPUBLIC, Pa.—The conditions of the miners and their families here in Republic are extremely bad. We have not worked since the second strike last August, and we do not know when we will get back to work. This company, Republic Coal & Coke, is working its Russellton mine, and has now started the Searights mine, but there is no indication that Re- public. will start, although it is the biggest mine. Some say it is be- cause we in Republic have a bunch of fighters in the local and we would not submit to the various attempts by which the company wants to get “cheap coal.” A family of two gets $3 a week, and a family of 5 gets $6 a week, a single man gets $1.50 a week, When the relief started here it was through the commissary system, but after 2 long fight led by the National Miners’ Union, which organized several hunger marches to Union- town, we got that changed to checks. With this low relief it. is impos- sible to buy all the necessities. This is especially true of the larger fami- lies who have children of school age. There were no shoes given and some children stayed out of the school for five weeks. Milk for the children is given only to those that have doctors’ prescriptions, but even !f you set the prescripticn, you often don’t get the milk. In one case the chil- dren had the doctor’s order for the milk, but did not get any milk for six weeks. Clothing is given only to one in a family. U. M. W. A. Does Not Fight for Relief All of the men in the Republic mine belong to the U. M. W. A. We have ® relief committee of three men, and these are avvointed. They take the complaints from the members and go to Uniontown to settle the griev- ances, Generally they report that nothing can be times they are sent back from one office to another, from one “director” to another. ‘ The same situaiion is facing thou- sands of others of the unemployed in the Fayette County, and what is needed is to organize a County March or a broad county delegation from every town and every local to demand clothing, shoes, milk, increase in the relief for every one that needs it. Of course neither Mr. Hynes. our appointed District President, nor Mr. Minor our local prestdent agree with such @ action. They would rather see the $200 director Hibbs themselves and “fix it up” with him.’ Recently when brother Kemmeno- vich came to blic to’ speak Our local was one of the most militant locals in the Coke Region this summer.

Mrs. Rose S., Swansea, Mass.— The only way you can find out which of the articles of diet is causing your hives is to live on just one of them for a day or two. For instance, begin by drinking only orange juice for 24 hours. If no hives develop during this period, add a cereal like oatmeal. If no hives develop at the end of 24 hours, add a vegetable like spinach. Keep on adding to your diet one ar- ticle at a time and if you notice the appearance of hives following the new addition, stop eating this food. Ex- clude this article from your diet for a week, at the end of which period try it again and if it causes your skin to. break out, you can be sure that it is the cause of your hives. Of course this is a long drawn out meth- od, which requires patience and ob- servation; but it is the only one we know outside of the scientific skin tests.
