When the crop- per refused to be evicted, he de- manded that the Negro cropper pay $25 rent for the cabin. The Negro cropper went to the relief buro in} Camp Hill and put in a complaint, and the boss was called up and told to allow the family to stay. Croppers are being evicted as the result of the acreage reduction pro- gram, or they are forced to pay rent or work it out for the boss. But the Share Croppers Union is de- manding that those eliminated be given the right to remain on the land rent free and without forced the relief office, and asked what right a landiord had to throw folks out of homes on land rented to the government.

A, EMPLOYERS WORKERS TO LAW, We promised to print the ietter sent from the N. R. A. to the Domestic Workers’ Union when the union sub- mitted the code which it had drawn up—a code, as Mary Ford of the union said, “contain- ing such demands as 50 cents an hour for day work, $12.50 a week for ime work, and $20 a week for work, no discrimination because of age, sex, color or nation- ality, no agency fee, and an eight- hour day day week.” Well the union got a couple of letters from the N. R. A. One of them was printed in March is- sue of the Domestic Workers’ News, one sentence reading as follow: “You will observe that industry codes are submitted by industry gronps and not by groups of work- ers.” Here’s the other letter.

I was the stenographer at a swell dinner given by a Jewish charity organization. The chairman of the dinner was Morris White, and at his side sat Osip Wolinsky, his sec- retary. At my table I heard the following story from the lips of one of Mor- ris White’s society friends, told as a funny story. “That's Osip Wolinsky, right hand man of Morris White. He’s called a traitor.” And further. “He was man- ager of the pocketbook union, and Morris White had to pay him too much graft to make him stop the workers from striking. So White said to him, ‘Osip, how much do you as manager of the union?’ 0,000 a year,’ he answered. ‘O.K,,” says Morris, ‘Come over to me and T'll give you $10,000 a year!’ and Dancing — Entertainment — April 14 by a shutdown (lockout), | Osip accepted. He keeps his son in | with the shortage of orders, as| Harvard and wants his daughter in society.” | 3 “Now that Morris White can’t) it looks as tho Wolinsky is back in the union.

In Birmingham, Ala., on May Day, |fascism was more plainly, shown, than in most, any city in the U. S., with a population of around 250,000 |People. The May Day was thor- oughly advertised for two or three | weeks or more, before the event. And if it had been permitted, there would have been at least 8,000 per- | Sons to witness the demonstration. | But, under the American liberty, that fascism forces upon the citi- zens of the South, there was only about 5,000 in all, for the May Day demonstrations. The law met trucks out of town and turned them back or scattered the crowds. They had Capitol Park all roped off on all sides, with a reinforced force of laws and two truck-loads of machine guns, tear gas, and other weapons and clubs. And there were |many persons asking why the park was roped in like that, and what | Was the police all doing up there, | what is it all about?

W. D, in this state has fallen flat. Presented by Washing- ton as a straw-man to succeed the criminally conducted C.W.A., which | failed dismally in February, this all | too inadequate aid to the unem- | ployed is being removed also. | One of the significant features of | this “relief” was that some 25,400 | people on the relief rolis were to | benefit in Philadelphia. However, | the allotment of funds actually re- | duced this to 18,000 out of a total number of 100,000 breadwinners who | | are out of jobs—a miserable, penny- pinching program in view of the billions being spent on death-deal- ing devices for the next war. Eric H. Biddle, a steel boss and the State Emergency Relief Direc- tor, has just issued a stop-order on all L. W. D. jobs, effective April 30.

The chaotic state of our “public servants” is evidenced by the fact ' that some $15,000,000 in projects will be left hanging in mid-air.

Those who are! fer from sunstroke, especially those | gather in a swimming spot of lim-! for men to even talk in fr"-~ of a strike down here. B. B. susceptible to poison-ivy or poison- oak will do well to get a prophyl: tic dose against poison-ivy or | sumac. For those who intend to! camp, one of the most essential re- quirements is to have plenty of netting or cheesecloth to protect. them against mosquitos and other insects. If you intend to bathe in a lake or a stream used by a large number of people, do not fail to take along a ten per cent solution of argyrol to be used in nose and eye infections. A form of inflamma- tion of the eye known as “pinkeye” is often contracted where crowds ited capacity. Remember also that typhoid fever can be gotten by swimming in an infected stream: the small quantities of water swal- lowed during swimming or bathing are often enough to produce typhoid fever if the water contains the germs. Remember also that any deep wound that cannot be thor- oughly cleansed requires the ad- ministration of tetanus antitoxin. During the summer a number of people contract, lockjaw and die by neglecting this advice. Tetanus anti- toxin can be gotten from any health officer free of charge. Finally, we must caution the) who are in the habit of not wear- ing hats. The best thing to do for sunburn or sunstroke is to drink plenty of water and to put ice to the head. The water carries away the toxins produced by the burnt epidermics (skin), while the ice pro- tects the brain against meningitis. Finally, if you are bitten by a stray dog, do not neglect to get your wound cauterized; the sama precaution should be taken with snake-bites. FURNITURE WORKERS SUBSCRIBE! ‘ JUNE ISSUE OUT!
