Many of them are practically destitute, their only chance for work being the C. W. A. and the Federal Meat Cannery.

Bell and Wallace have a strong pull with all the port stewards in the city of New York, including Bordas of the Ward Line, Ringold of the Clyde Line, Freeman of the Munson Line, Dougherty of the In- ternational Merchants Marine. All the above are very friendly towards them, The two phony delegates, Bell and Wallace, can always be seen at the payoff line-up to collect their dollars. What for? All I can see them doing, is entertain themselves in the chief's and second steward’s rooms, 4 ONE OF THE STEWARD DEPT. Grand Lodge Officials Isolate Struggles of Railroad Engineers By a Worker Correspondent received that a group of Rock Island engineers, of the B. of L. E., had sent a donation of some $6 to their brothers of the K.C.S. at Kansas City. It develops that members of the B. of L. E. are being solicited to donate what they can to help the union members of the K. C. S, to get out of debt, which was occa- sioned by their long fight against the Loree plan. Funds are solicited on the grounds that these brothers fought for all. It is true that it was a fight for all engineers in the United States and the plan should have been fought by and with the support of all railroad men in the country, both on a financial and economic basis. But the Grand Lodge betray- ers isolated these brothers, and let them fight the battle all alone. The entire financial cost of the fight should have come from grand lodge funds, and every local lodge should have been mobilized to pre- sent vigorous resolutions against the plan, This plan and other schemes will be proposed elsewhere on individual system3, for the purpose of deplet- ing local treasuries and for break- ing the spirit of the men under the isolating policies of their present Jeadership. NOTE: ‘We publish letters every Friday from workers in the transporta- tion and communications indus- tries—railroad, marine, surface lines, subway, elevated lines, ex- press companies, truck drivers, taxi drivers, etc—and post office, telephone, telegraph, etc. We urge workers from these in- dustries to write us of their con- ditions of work, and their strug- gles to organize. Please get these letters to us by Tuesday of each week. | A Red Builder on every busy street corner in the country means age wage to that extremely low level), a tremendous step toward the dictatorship of the proletariat! CHICAGO, Il!.—Information just ; Public Endangered By Railroad Economy On Street Crossings By a Worker Correspondent ASHTABULA, Ohio—They are continuing to burn up the bodies of the old wooden cars on the New York Central Railroad here, when no doubt, they could be given to the poor for kindling or to make garages, hen coops, pig pens, or whatever they could be used for. One railroad crossing here on 5th St. an important street that is crossed by the Pennsylvania's branch, used to have a watchman at the crossing, besides gates, and a warning bell. Two years ago they did away with the watchmen, and this year they are doing away with the gates and the bell. Last year I wrote to several different depart- ments in Washington about it, and it did no good. This Pennsylvania Railroad has its lecal superintendent, and com- plaint was made to him by one of the counsels that his railroad has no watchman at 5th Si., and this local superintendent replied that a brakeman is supposed to get off and run ahead and flag the crossing, and if they don’t hop off and flag, then they and the conductor of that train get a 30-day layoff for dis- obedience. But at that, who wants to see some poor innocent man laid off by the railroad company’s fault, When they could just as well hire a watchman to protect that cross- ing at all times? I have also heard that where there used to be about 20 or more dispatchers or telegranh operators between here and Warren, Ohio, there is not one now. Slop and Vermin In The “House of Jesus” By a Marine Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—A year ago when a seaman called for relief at the House of Jesus, Seamen's Church Institute, 211 Walnut St., Philadel- phia, he would be sent upstairs to \the Rev. Maxsell’s office. There he would have to be fingerprinted, then he would be given a bowl of slop and assigned to a lousy bed.

We station agents have developed, by the Way, @ sort of a cat-watch posi- tion towards our change window, namely: as soon as any shadow of a movement appears on the window opening, our hand re- sponds immediately like a gong. This time instead of a dime I Picked up the Daily Worker. I looked to see him better, but the meetoric speed of this transpor- tation unit was so high that brown heels and the bottom of a black briefcase were all I could notice. Queer behavior of this kind arouses immediate suspi- cion and might spoil rather than do any good, Calmness on such occasions is very important. Do not make yourselves conspicuous more than the average passenger. Do not invite special attention. And the detective sense, cultivated in every American by the public school, by the Boy and Girl Scouts, by the News, will not be called to action on similar oc- casions. This, of course, will en- able the same person to cover the same territory over and over again without probably being noticed, and many even give a chance to establish contacts, ing you would have plenty of com- pany.

There are three colossal chemical plants in Russia; The Chernorechensk, the Berezniki and the Energo-Chemical Combinat (ately re-named the Stalin). The last one has 110 industrial buildings and 7,500 machines, lathes, fittings and instruments. Voice, Vegetables and Morals Beatrice D., Provincetown—Beni- amino Gigli, tenor, is a vegetarian, does not smoke, earns $250,000 a year and is reputed to be a mil- lionaire; but there are 300,000,000 vegetarians in India who are neither famous tenors nor millionaires. Diet jhas nothing to do with “morals.” Deaths From Appendicitis Skeptic—Twenty thousand people died of appendicitis in the United States in 1933. The death rate of this disease is higher here than in Black and Blue Marks Henry W., Baltimore—Black and blue marks on the body are not necessarily due to trauma (blows), They are often due to lack of cal~ cium (lime) in the system. Such individuals get them spontaneously or by the slightest pressure, such as crossing the legs, leaning against the back of a chair or from a friendly squeeze of the shoulder, arm, etc. The lack of calcium causes the wall of the capillaries (the blood vessels) to become fragile or thinned out and the blood easily escapes from them into the surrounding tis- sues just as if a blow had ruptured them. In the case you mention, we are inclined to believe that your lady is suffering from calcium deficiency, The character of the husband, ag you describe it, does not fit a wife beater. 2,000 Are Laid Off On B. & O. Railway By a Worker Correspondent BALTIMORE, Md.—The Publi Relations Department of the B. é O. Railway announced ‘today that about 2,000 employees in the Motive Power Department have been given a “furlough for an indefinite per= icd.” They also report a near-fu- ture building of about 800 cars at the Keyser, W. Va., shops which will re-employ about 200 men. This is done under the guidance of President Daniel Willard, to whom the Brotherhood chiefs pre- sented a howl of flowers with a card reading, “To our friend Daniel Willard.” The brotherhood chiefs with their new jobs in the Pension Boards and the compulsory-wage- acceptance boards are, of course, not any other civilized country in the world. included in this lay-off order from “our friend Daniel Willard.” first the kingdom of heaven and all; $15,000 International Labor Defense Room 430, 80 East 11th St. New York City I contribute $.......6.......for and Defense.
