However, these unions do not and will not have everything their own way.

EDITOR’S NOTE: By this time taximen have already had clear evidence that LaGuardia, the bank- ers’ mayor, was only waiting for a chance te come out with his strike- breaking sell-out announcement that the strike was settled, and thus try to get the taxi men back to work with none of their de- mands granted. The mayor's pre- tended “moral support” mentioned in the above letter is now seen to be only a preparation for his latest attempt to break the strike.

MORE NEWS ON LIFE IN THE | ARMY | ar Comrade Editor: | There have been various letter from workers who rote that they leave their copies of the Daily on the seat’ of subway and train cars for other to get them. I would suggest that th’r is too much of a hit-and-miss system I have always looked through the ce: and spotted the proletarians—they always can be found in overalls, work- clothes, uniforms, ete—and handed them a ccopy. Very few have ever re- fused; I always nected out cf the cor- ner of my eye their reaction and vor few put them acide, esnecially today when the “Reds” are acceptable or something to be understood by every worker. More important yet are the number of men in military uniform. When- ever I see a soldier, sailor, guardsman, marine, etc., I become interested; be- cause of their importance to the struggle they have an intense interest to me. They are always my first choice for handing a “Daily” to. But the real shortcoming of our “Daiiy” is the lack of news for military men. One time that there was news, I cir- cled it in blue and handed it to two guardsmen on a train as I was leav- ing. They were about to put the paper aside until they saw this ar- ticle; then they showed an intense interest, both reading the paper which neither wanted to read before. How about some news of the military in the “Daily”? Comradely, A Y. C. L. MEMBER. DULUTH WORKERS HEAR COR- LISS LAMONT ON RADIO Duluth, Minn.

A. N. A DAILY LENIN CORNER Miami Beach, Fla. Dear Editor: I have missed the “Lenin Corner’ in the “Daily” these last few days, and feel sure that many more readers have been looking for it too. May I suggest therefore, *.2t you continue to print a “Lenin “ner” daily as it seems to me that now, more than ever, with the danger of imperialist Party, on the basis of the closest unity and solidarity with the Negro people. The southern landlords, the capi- | talists and their newspapers, have called the Commtmist Party a “nig- ger party.” They do not say that the Communist Party is proud of the fact that the most militant and ad- vanced of the Negro people are mem- bers of the Communist Party. And the big officials of the Socialist Party, the American Federation of Labor, and the National Association | for the Advancement of Colored Peo- | ple, say that the Communist Party is stirring up race hatred, and will never win the white workers. They say that the Communist Party pro- gram of 100 per cent absolute equal- ity for the Negro peonle, and the right of self-determination (freedom) in the Black Belt, will never be ac- cepted by the white toilers. White Workers Turning Communists But histo-y is proving that who-|# ever says this is elther a liar, or an} enemy of the working people, or both. In the single month of January, 1934, about as many white workers joined the Communist Party in the Bir- mingham District, as did during the entire year of 1933, This is only the beginning. These workers have joined the Communist Party because of its position on the Negro question. They see that only the Communist Party is able to destroy race prejudice, and establish working-class unity. They see the Negro people as a fighting force against misery. They see that lynching and Jim-Crowism and the inhuman persecution of the Negro masses, are used by the rich para- sites to exploit the Negro slavishly. And they see that this is the reason for the N.R.A. wate differential for the South, and the worst conditions here on the C.W.A., not only for the Negroes, but also for the white work- ers. They see that only the Commu- nist Party is capable of developing a powerful trade union movement of millions, which will lead militant struggles and strikes, which will help to destroy lynching and inequality, as it destroys at the same time. the rotten conditions and the wage dif- ferentials for the South. Ex-Members Denounce Klan A large number of white workers who join the Communist Party be- longed to various organizations. Quite a few were former members of the K.K.K. But these workers have seen that the main purpose of the Klan, in spite of some of its pledges, is to help in the oppression and lynching of Negroes, in order to keep southern labor divided among itself. ‘These workers have seen how such a policy has aided the bosses in keep- ing the white workers down, too, and they now completely abandon the ee rs Denounce in Birmingham in Total 1933 Recruits ROSS Klan and turn their backs on it.

When you do wash it, it would be advisable to do so with a shampoo made cf shav- ings of castile scan melted in boiling water. Eating fatty foods such as Olive oil, bacon, butter, cream, etc., may also help in increasing the oili- ness of your scalp. Lead Arsenate Poisoning In Orchards W. I. W., Yakima, Wash—It is a recognized fact that workers with poison sprays, in orchards, are apt to suffer from chronic poisoning, if they are not careful. The fresh air and sufficient attention to personal hygiene, such as frequent washing of the hands, face and body, minimize, to a certain extent, the bad effects of the poison. But sooner or later, the average worker begins to suffer with the unmistakable signs of chroric lead or other metal poisoning. In your case, the symptoms are not def- inite enouzh to lead us to believe that you are suffering from chronic lead poisoning, but if you can possibly se- cure another job, then we should ad- vise you to give up the one that you have been holding for the last seven years, Gre Ow By PAUL LUTTINGER, M.D. milk for her child: Malt beer is often as efficacious as milk for that pur- pose.
