NEW YORK, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1938 ‘Steel Casting Co. Makes Workers Pay Learners’ Wages | (By a Worker Correspondent) CHESTER, Pa.—The General Steel | Casting Co. at Eddystone forces the Piece workers to pay the wages of the new men that are learning to |do the work there. Those men do jthe chipping and several men work on one piece of machinery. The new man cannot make the wage, so his wage, which averages about $3.50 per day at blood sweat speed, is taken from the other work- ers’ wages, and thus the company follows the N. R. A. code. Letters from DENOUNCES “FORWARD” SYMPATHY ON EXPULSION; SAYS “PARTY WAS CORRECT” Dear Comrades: The Jewish “Forwarts” in its issue dated October 13th, carried a news item dealing with my expusion from the ranks of the Communist Party. In this statement in the proposed form that it had appeared, one who is not aware of the role of the For- warts will come to the conclusion that I had, besides leaving my post, gone over to the camp of an enemy. | It insinuat< that, because of the | so-called “gaucter attacks by the Alteration Painters Union on Zaus- ner’s innocent union men” that these | so-called attacks were so brutal that they forced me out of my position. I do not wish at this time to go into politics with the Forwarts, which rep- resents not the interests of the workers but the traitors to the work- ing class. With this statement I only wish to bring out certain vital questions | so that there will be no misunder- standing as to my present position and likewise to remove from the minds of the comrades with whom I had worked for long periods of time: any suspicion that I have any deul-; ings with the enemy, or had any conferences with the renegades as the rumors have been spread. I want’ to deny very emphatically any of these rumors. These people are ren>- gades and I havo never considered them anything different. It is but a natural fact that the enemies of the workers, of which tse, renegades of either camp are the most outstanding, will utilize every weakness that appears in the field of the worker's struggle in order to utilize the capitulation of individuals as @ means to attack the Party and its policies. I view my expulsion from the ranks of the Party as correct and in line with the principles of the class strug- gle. The crime for which { was ex- pelled is no doubt a virtue with the Tenegades but is incompatible with 4) leadership or membership im th | Communist Party. ‘The lack of confidence in myself, illusions about the NRA and above all lack of confidence in the ability of the workers to defeat the strike- breaking policies of the leaders of the A. F. of L, and the NRA were chiefly responsible for my plight. Ir- respective of the factors that brought me to this position, the act in itself was anti-working class and the expul- sion that followed it was a correct step by the Party and I am admitting it fully and sincerely. My expulsion, contrary to the hopes and wishes of the renegades, has only strengthened ; my. belief in the Party and its poli-| cies and I sincerely hope and wish. and ask that I be given an oppor- tunity to become a part of the move- ment and serve it with all of my abilities more than prior to my ex- pulsion. Comradely yours, —L. J. BRAVERMAN. Our Readers arrangements with the priest; the priest told him he would be scheduled to speak after the program of the meeting had been presented. Immediately after the closing of the catertainment, Priest Zarwistowski announced Mr. Wronski, member of a workers’ organization, and he added, “I think this is a Polish Bolshevik.” He also said, “This man has asked me if he can have the floor to speak for a few minutes and if you people want to hear him spe: you can, if not, you can go home.” The workers assented. Thereupon Comrade Wronski got on the stage, thanked the workers for the courtesy extended him, thanked the Priest Zarwistowski and the ad- ditional six priests who were also present and he began thus, “Yes, I am a Bolshevik. Now you have a chance to see what I look like. I am proud to bear the name Bol- shevik.” Comrade Wronski told the workers what had taken place at the Chicago Polish Convention and called upon [eee workers to join the workers’ or- Banizations in Chicago, and urged upon them the building of workers’ clubs. He asked that they join the Polish National Organization and to help the worker Communists build a workers’ and farmers’ government in ,this country. Everybody favored Wronski’s speech and showed it by a prolonged applause. All our litera- ture was disposed of. | ‘We called upon the workers to at- tend a mass meeting which we were calling for the following Sunday. I should like to state in closing, Comrade Wronski spoke for one hour ‘and made a fine speech. —r. 8. A MEETING OF THE SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY Alexandria, Va. Dear Comrades: Although I should have known bet- ter, I went to a meeting of the So- cialis Labor Party in Washington. So far I haven't found any Socialism in the SL.P, They met, not in the working-class district, but in a nice, aristocratic hall on exclusive 16th St., where a large percentage of the local fascists reside. The lecture was to have been “The Class Struggle To- day,” by a Socialist Laborite, who merely gave a dilettante speech about industrial unions and was clever enough to quote from Marx’ Theory of Surplus Value, so the audience would think he was a friend of the working-class. The only worker in the hall was an I.W.W., a real, militant proletari- an, although I cannot agree with his tactics. A Socialist. asked for the fundamental difference between the S.LP. and the S.P., and the speaker evaded the auestion by saying the Socialists were the same as the Dem- ,ocrats, and the S.L.P. was the legiti- mate product of the messiah De Leon. The LW.W. worker exposed the fake “industrial unionism” of the 8.L.P by showing the S.L.P. never had any unions. I asked a few questions tha* certainly got the speakers goat.

I know that the Party is concentrating on basic indus- tries, like metal, marine, and on un- employed work. For all this the Party | has no trained leadership. I also know that the Party is doing its utmost to train such leaders and therefore sends such comrades to the various training | schools which the Party holds. | Necessity of Developing Cadres in | Needle Trades Union And now to the point that I want to discuss. Some may sneer at what} I am going to write below. While the | Party is concentrating in the basic| industries, the district must also not} forget that it has in its territory, light industries as well, like the needle trades and many others. I know that in the past, lives have been lost in the struggles of the needle trades workers of the Party and that the Party will again, as in the past, or at present, carry on struggles in support of the| needle trades workers, for the better- ment of their conditions, I therefore cannot see why the needle trades workers should be sneered at, and, when it comes to sending some needle trades comrades to the district train- ing school, the comrades are told, well, “We don’t think that needle workers are important now,” and in Section 2, there is a special name for them: “needle pushers,” so as to make it funnier. There is a situation right now where opposition must be organized in the International Ladies Garment Work- ers Union. The activities have to be carried on in all the locals of the A. F. of L., and the workers will easily follow the opposition providing the comrades that are supposed to be the leaders will understand their role. ‘We have a good many leaders who have experience in opposition work, but these comrades are now the lead- ers of revolutionary trade unions, and they cannot very well help us in our activities. The rank and file of left wingers who have to come to the forefront and face the old bureaucracy, as well as the renegades, and except for one or two they have no theoretical equip- ment, and especially the Party mem- bers in the fractions cannot very well jead the opposition work without this theoretical or trade union knowledge. ‘There are a good many young and enthusiastic comrades in these frac- tions, who when given a good political {and trade union training could do a lot. more than at present. And as to the importance of the needle workers, at they participate in major struggle, de- n or picket line, whether it own trade or not. They are |militant and have contributed in Party activities as no other trade has done-until now. I therefore propose since you have om for us in the district school, that. the ict establishes a trade union cl a period of three months, is a week, and if it will 1 | activities of those participating, it will pay back in the future with a better approach and ‘knowledge in their future activities, NOTE BY EDITOR We feel sure that Comrade K. A. understands and appreciates the im- portance of centering the major at- tention of the Party upon the basic industries, and also the necessity of training cadres of steel, metal, marine and mine workers to carry on this work. Because the Party has neglected this work in the past, i¢ is all the more necessary at the present time that our training schools should have the majority of their students from the workers in the basic industries, which by no means implies that needle trades Workers should be excluded from the schools. The necessary concentration of our-work on the most important in- dustries does not in any way mean that we should allow our work in the light industries to slacken, and eertainly Comrade K. A. is correct in stressing the importance of train- ing comrades to carry on the op- position work in the LL.G.W.U. Particularly in the New York Dis- trict, where there are tens of thou- sands of needle trades workers, the task of training comrades to carry on this most important work must be stressed. The suggestion for « three months class in trade union- im is a good one, and District No. %.should find ways and means of carrying it out. Certainly the Party cannot under- estimate the heroic struggles car- ried on by the needle trades com- rades, as well as by the comrades in the food and shoe industries, Neither has any comrade in the Patty the right to “sneer” at the needle trades workers, whose devo- tion and loyalty to the Party and its struggles have been proven over and over again.

K.—Irregular menstruation is no bar to impregnation or to the bearing of children. From your letter we gather that the cause of her ir- regularity might be due ‘to anemia; but it-also may be due to some mal- development of the ovaries. It is im- possible for us to state whether she can bear any children or not. Such . examined by a com- petent. physician, ‘Thanks for the con- tribution. The Drink Habit Mrs, A. R., Pittsburgh, Pa.—Your husband is right in refusing to take Dr. Haines’ drink cure. It will not do him any good and you are wasting your money. The best cure for the drink habit comes from within the addict himself. He has to realize the harm he is doing himself, those de- pending upon him and the working class of which he is a part. A habitual drunkard has no place in the revolu- tionary movement because he can never be fully trusted. Mistreatment in Public Hospitals D.

J—There is no remedy on the market, which will promote the growth of hair. Any kind of a hair tonic is as good as another. The only thing to remember is that for dry hair, you ought to use a hair tonic having a fatty base such ‘as olive oil, cocoanut oil, etc. For a greasy scalp the hair tonie should have an alcoholic base. Plain castor oil is as good as the best hair tonic for a dry skin; while a mixture of-green soap and alcohol is exceller for the oily cases. If,you think that Kremel mak. your-hair grow,’go to it. The psycho- logical effect of any drugs, is not to be sneezed at! Your salvation ee come from Kremel; but we look for ours from the Kremlin. Nervousness? Numb Sarah—We do not believe that any kind of a diet will have any influence upon your nervousness. It makes no difference whether you take the two soft boiled eggs in the morn- ing or not. You are underweight and you,ought to have yourself examined again’ “by a competent From your long letter, we got the impression that at your age (33), a good remedy for your nervousness might consist in beginning to think about getting yourself a mate. ‘ Helping the Daily Worker Through Dr. Luttinger Contributions received to the of Dr. Luttinger in his Socialist com- petition with Michael Gold, Edward Newhouse, Helen Luke, Jacob Burek and Del to raise $1,000 in the $40,00° Daily Worker Drive; ‘Total to d
