Anna Schultz, who was the main speaker at three consecutive meet- ings, urged the women to send reso- lutions of protest against the, con- tinued imprisonment and torture of | Ernst Thaelmann. The following resolution was cabled to the Hitler Government: “We workers assembled at the mass meetings in New York, in Bronx, Harlem, and Brooklyn on May 15. 16 and 17 resolve to con- tinue the struggle against war and fascism. We demand the re- lease of Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the German working class, now tortured in the dungeons of fas- cist Germany, and demand the release of all class war prisoners. We pledge to support and partici- pate in the National Youth Day, May against war and fascism.” The funds collected by the Fin-| Women's Club amounted. to| $14.10, while the Women’s Council | nish collected $9.29. Dear Friend Anna: I have been working all evening long on this important work for the Women’s Congress Against War and Fascism. I have had a meeting in my home. enthusiastic one. About 40 women were present, including a ‘ood many Negro women—about ten, I should judge, which is very gratifying indeed.

This is the usual answer given by these agents of the N. R. A. hunger plan. The majority of those‘unemployed or working part time are miners. Those who are totally unemployed have recently had their ranks thinned by a few getting jobs on the F. E. R. A. (building dams on the land erosion projects), with an aver- age of 120 Hours a month. This will pay them on an average of $40 a month. None of these workers has yet received any pay, yet their relief has been cut off. Miss Daniels has refused many of the miners relief, that are getting one or two days work a week at the mines, on the grounds that the suverintendent of the Diamond Coa! Co. told her there was plenty of cars to load but that the N. M. U. would not let the diggers go into the pits on idle days. She admitted that she bad seen some of the pay slips of miners who had not drawn any pay for several months. The Committee pointed out why the N. M. U. had stopped work on idle days. When a digger goes to work in the pits on idle days and an accident should happen and the miner hart, the company insurance company would refuse to do anything on the grounds that the diggers had no business in the pits when the mine was idle. Going to work on idle days helps the oper- ators cut wages. If the whistle blows one day avgl the digger works four days, then the company can point to the fact that when the company worked only one or two days, the men were making good wages, de- spite the fact that it took the digger five or six days to get out one day’s digging. The companies have announced} the intentions of paying the new] but this; will not heln the diggers, but will merely give ‘the overators a chance to check off a little more each pay for back rent and sweeten the bribe | for the tompany men. The N. M. U. has been carrying on a fight for the enforcement of the new code and for relief for the unemployed and | part time miners and all other work- | ers in this country, and will continue the fight. When the city commis- sion.meets a committee will be pres- ent to demand of them increased | relief and no discrimination in giv- | ing out relief jobs under the F. E. R. A. At the same time they will call on the new administration to endorse’the Workers Unemployment, and Social Insurance Bill H.R. 7598.

WITH OUR YOUNG READERS WANT ie PLAY- GROUND! WE N WEST 23rd STREET in New York there’s a very big empty lot. It extends right through to 24th Street. There’s lots of room jand all the teams in the neighbor- there to play baseball. Of course it’s possible to practice in the street, dodging the trucks, but for a real game of ball you need space. Here’s this swell lot, the only empty spot in a big crowded neighborhocd; but it is private property. The cop is for- ever chasing the boys. Sure they sneak back again. but it’s tough always to have the game broken up, and to feel like criminals be- sides. One Saturday, recently, the usual groups were gathered there. Among them were the 24th Street Gang, the Pirates, and the Chelsea Aces. The Chelsea Aces were new on the lot. The Club is only a few weeks old. They have a leader, Her name is Esther. The Pirates were chal- lenging the Aces to a game. “Sorry, fellows, but you've got to get out of here.” hood come “Aw, heck,” grumbled Billy, “It’s always the same old thing.” “But what can we do?” asked Red. “There's no other place to play.” “Oh well, you might ask the po- lice captain on 20th Street,” an- swered the cop. “Yeah,” piped up Frankie. “Once a couple of fellows went to the police station to ask about play- ing a game here, and they wouldn’t even let them in.” PUZZLE CORNER ange one letter each time—and make ‘g new word, As: Boss to Bass, etc “Aw, that's nothin.’ We're a| whole bunch here,” put in Red. | “Let's go ask the other fellows.” No sooner said than done. Only a very few hung back. So about forty of the boys marched down to the police station. “Golly, will they let us all in?” d Freddie with a worried look. ‘Ne said Esther. -“I guess not. We'll have to elect two of you to go in. Now who wants to talk | to the police captain?” .. “Me! Tl talk to him,” Tommy is all enthusiasm. “Sure, I'll tell him a thing of two,” Red ‘bursts out: “I will, I’m not scared to tell him what we want,” added Frankie. They decided that Red and Frankie should go others waited outside. They were quiet but impatient, though it wasn’t really very long before Red and Frankie and Esther came out. “What did he say? asked every- ons ct Arce. “Aw, he cried around and said how sorry he was he couldn't do anything for us,” said Red. “He had lots of excuses. There’s an old paralyzed ¢Coctor in 24th Street who's always complaining about the noise,” added Frankie. “Aw, what's one guy? When’ there are cn anv of 159” “Well,” said Esther, “we asked | him to sign a petition asking the Commissioner of playgrounds to lease the land and make an all year round playground. He said he'd sign it. Looks as though we've got plenty of work to do. They’re not just going to hand us that playground.” “That's all right,” Tommy had a determined look in his dark eyes. “We're sigk of being chased. We’ve got to get that lot. And all of us together WILL!” Now there are hundreds of peti- tions that the boys and girls and neighbors are getting signed. They know it’s not going to be so easy.

This is shown by the coal strike. Al- though the 40 per cent raise in wages is not sufficient for the work- ers to be satisfied with. We must | join the Communist Party, because all iterests of this Party is directed to the welfare of the workers’ living standards, such as wage increases, social insurance, shorter hours and equal rights for the Negroes. What else has the Communist Party forced on the bosses through correct action? It has made it pos- sible for the Negroes to enter unions. The A. F. of L. previously did not allow the Negro in it, es- pecially the common laborer. But now to keep close check on the Ne- groes they are allowed to join, which the Communist Party fully agrees witM. We' are for unions, but we are against the making of all agree- ments from the top. We say the rank and file must have something to say in making agreements and demands and not. just the leaders. Of all the strikes that have been pulled by the A. F. of L. the work- ers themselves did not know what it was all about until they go back and then they signed away all right to strike or any other bad condition, such as Coal mask system, no growl- ing about dead work, etc. This the Communist Party is against. We all make and know what the agreement is before signing anything. We are being sharply attacked by the bosses. They are going from house to house, going in arresting workers. The six arrested workers, they are afraid to pass a decision on them. Mass pressure can force them—as much as Mr. Slace and Frank Hefferly Breaks Strike in By a Mine Worker Correspondent RATON, N. M—It is pitiful to see how the miners around here, thru the fakery of Frank Hefferly, pres- ident of District 15, Us M. W. A.. are constantly betrayed. Frank Hefferly spends most of his time in the most luxurious hotel in Denver and there is where the’ representatives of the coal operator live. And all the dirty work takes place there. Besides Frank Hefferly, there are always two or three: in every local who have the best jobs and tell the miners how nice Mr. French, Rocky Mountain Coal manager, is. F. H. flew over from Denver to the rescue of both the Phelps Dodge Corp, and the Rocky Mountain Coal Co., and told the miners that under the rule of the N. R. A. the bosses had the right to close their ntine down, but the workers had no right to lay their tools down. In a few words he settled the strike satisfac- torily by firing two militant leaders, Felesforo Galligos and Davey Jones, now waiting on the promises of F. H. that he would see the labor board so they put them back to work and get their back pay. The new deal is not doing any- thing for the workers: The only means is to unite and not be afraid to expose the labor fakers as soon as they are detected. adi ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Instructions to Foodhandlers Edward B., Bronx.—The following instructions are printed on the back of each foodhandler’s certificate is- sued by the Department of Health, in New York City: 1. High temperature and a too moist air promote disease in work- ers. Kitchens can be made perfectly comfortable by proper devices. 2. Many waiters and cooks de- velop heart and kidney diseases early in life; long hours of work, insufficient sleep, fatigue and the excessive use of alcoholic drink help to cause these diseases. 3. Fatigue and the intemperate use of liquors and lack of fresh air in the workplace or in the home, are likewise frequently the cause of tuberculosis. Keep your windows open and insist upon adequate ven- tilation of your workplace. 4. If you have a contagious dis- ease, STOP WORK immediately. Contagious diseases are more quick- ly cured if the patient gives up work for the time. 5. If you, or any person in your home or your place of business has @ contagious disease, notify the Health Department and you will be given information what to do, . Pain in your feet is very likely to be due to flat feet and not to rheumatism, it is a very frequent complaint in your trade; if present, see your doctor. 7. SPITTING IS A DANGER- OUS HABIT. If you must spit, use a cuspidor, or better still, your hand- kerchief, and then wash your hands. 8. Separate clean towels should be provided for each person for use after washing; also running hot water and soap. These should be used espevially after going to the toilet, blowing the nose or handling any dusty or sailed objects. 9.~The towels and clothes that are provided for cleaning dishes or eating utensils, should never be em- ployed by waiters and chefs to wipe perspiration from the face or hands, Striker Cites Work of Party in || .
