Page Six WORKERS’ HEALTH Conducted by A é ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Body Odor L. S., Swan Lake, N. ¥Y.—Thank you for your letter. ui have stated | the problem very Regularly | you hear people s of course, | they have nott the Ne-| gro, etc., but o: mit that he has a disti the speaker e, and, of course, t the Ne-| groes are a race with dif-| ferent body structure from the whites. It is interesting to spec- ulate how many would have no-} ticed or looked for that odor if they | had not been openly or sub-| consciously looking for stigmas in the Negro in order to affirm their| own superiority. Your companions had heard this stated so often about the Negro, that they were | bound to imagine they noticed aj distinctive odor, to vindicate their | superior (white) powers of per-| ception. r many years of ob- has been unable to cover any evidence of body struc- ture or junction in the Negro, peculiar to them. Their charac- teristics are variations only in de-| gree, and found to the same extent in other races, including the white.| In very dark Negroes, the skin contains an abundance of the pig-| ment, melanin, which is present in all skins. In addition, there is a poor development of body hair. Sometimes there is a large develop- ment of the blood circulation be- neath the skin, which is of loose texture and contains many oil and sweat glands. These are qualities which serve to secure free evap-| oration and cooling in hot climates. This last, at times valuable qual: is found only in a portion of the race whose original native climate | demanded freer sweating The sweat and body oils so produced, have, chemically, exactly the same) the Daily Worker Medical Advisory Board composition as any other human sweat and body oil. As you know, civilized people in some lands have been educated to| Worker’s drive for the $60,000 that | find the odor of ordinary perpira- tion offensive, and have often made @ great to-do about body odor (B.O. in magazine ads), ostracizing the unfortunate human who dares to sweat freely. If people are pros- perous, they possess good bathing facilities and have plenty of time besides to devote to the care and cultivation of the Body Beautiful; but the possession of baths, showers and plenty of spare time is in pro- portion to one’s income; some of us must labor and sweat and live herded together. Those who profit by this labor and sweat will be quickest to point out that this sweat is offensive to their noses and hence marks us as different, ie. inferior, i. e. slave peoples. Measles and Scarlet Fever S. G—We have not happened to to. However, if it is a correct quo- tation, we can say that it does not express the bulk of present-day medical opinion, but is the as yet unconfirmed theory of a small group. Measles is spread mainly by droplet contagion, i. e., by more or less direct contact with secretions from the eyes, nose, or throat of those infected. Measles germs are not supposed to live for any con- siderable length of time outside the human body, so contagion through objects, such as coins, must be fairly, immediate and direct. Scarlet fever is the only common contagious disease of childhood whose germs can exist for any time outside the body. So after scarlet fever, all objects in contact with the patient should be sterilized or destroyed; with measles, no such precaution is necessary! IN THE HOME By See Comrade M. G., who sent the recipe for carrot pudding last fall, writes a newsy letter from Ne- braska: “A young social worker, still of the complacent middle class (im- molation in a middle western uni- versity has so far protected her from the ideological effects of the economic bankruptcy of her own family) tells me, gaily and callously, without being aware of the impli-| cations of desperate poverty in- volved, of incidents at a charity camp where she served (for no} salary) as counsellor this summer. “One little girl asked over and over again whether she could use her soap as often as she wished, and when she found out that there were no -restrictions, spent the first of her days at camp continually washing her hands and face. “Many of the children, said our counsellor, preferred margarine to butter. They had had butter so seldom that they weren't used to it. Many of them had become so ac- customed to an all-starch diet that they could not be coaxed to eat| vegetables but wanted only po- tatoes and bread. Many of them) had not learned to drink milk, and| preferred coffee. we “One little girl, bright and invur- rigible, stole little things and stowed them in her clothes box—little tin dishes, beads, such things as chil- dren love and should have. The counsellors came to her for things that were missing. If she was in- nocent of the theft, she would say, “Oh, no, I didn’t take that. I have one :of those!” “Our college girl, prating all the time of ‘developing charatcer and valuable traits’ in her charges, casually told me of setting one of the other children to spy on the little kleptomaniac. “About another matter. When we have the whole machinery of cap- italist oppression to fight, it seems petty to pick on our own comrades for slight matters. And yet I feel that, those comrades are playing into the hands of the enemy when they further disunite among work- ers by jokes about the ‘inferior sex.’ “I can stand a laugh at my ex- pense as well as anyone, when it is directed at me as an individual. But I can’t help seeing red when I hear otherwise first-rate com- rades, politically clear on most things, pulling this old stuff that for all its pretense at humor, is based on the double enslavement of women, for the advantage of the exploiters. These seemingly inno- cent cracks rub salt in old sores for me, who took my university train- ing in a college department where the students were almost all women, but it was a ‘tradition’ (an iron- bound rule) of the department that there be no woman instructors; who Saw women who were sent out to fill jobs having to have at least one higher college degree to get a job | | | HELE (Ex) Middle-Class Women Who Have Eyes and | N LUKE Not and receive the wage that a man would. “Correctly, we do not tolerate jokes at the expense of our colored fellow-workers, at the expense of our Jewish, or Italian, or Irish fellow-workers.

They are extracts from letters written as entries in the contest “Why Workers Should Read the Daily Worker.” These letters, written by workers from all parts of the United States, con- cisely and clearly show the urgent necessity of your support. Send your nickels, dimes and dollars. You can put the “Daily” drive across! Writes R. Walds, from Province- town, Massachusetts: “The bos is interested in profits, and not in the kind of life the worker leads. ‘The most labor for the cheapest pay’ is his motto. If the worker did not fight back, the | very bread would be taken from his |mouth. And the Daily Worker is | the only paper that sides with the vorkers in their struggle. The “Daily” is owned by workers. All the other papers are owned by the rich. That is why they have to interpret things in a way that is good for the rich. ... The Daily Worker alone was not afraid to point out to the workers that for them the blue eagle meant more starvation. .. . The “Daily” teaches the workers that the ultimate aim of their struggle should be the | building of a Soviet America. .. . Support the Daily Worker. The Daily Worker supports you!” a eh | “THE press is the mightiest tool | of capitalism,” says S. Grod- | jinsky, New York. “In times of | strikes, the press has always done its best to break them by saying |they were ‘un-American,’ or the | strikers used ‘foreign’ methods. In times of war the press has always let loose the filthiest jingoistic poison in support of the ruling class. . . . The Communist Party knew the effect these newspapers had on the minds of the American people. It realized how they were | turning the minds of the workers j against their own interests. Thus came the birth of the Daily Worker ten years ago. ... Here the worker reads of the lynchings, eyietions, arrests of militant working class leaders who are fighting for the in- terests of the workers, fighting for a society that will benefit the work- ing class.” citi eet? J. Snite, of Chicago, gives you his reasons for putting the Daily Worker's finance drive over the top: “The Daily Worker tells the truth |about the capitalist system under | which workers in America are |forced to live. The papers of the j capitalists keep the truth from the workers. Because the Daily Worker fearlessly prints the truth, it is revolutionary. . The capitalist clas uses its papers to dope the minds of the workers. That ac- counts for all of the murder stories, divorce and sex scandals they print, and their kidnapings and o‘her sen- satio: ‘important’ news. When it comes to dealing with strikes, struggles of the. unemployed, and demonstrations of the workers, there is no limit to how low the capitalist papers will sink in lies and distortion of the facts. . But the Daily Worker is in the forefront of all working class strug- gles. It gives workers political guidance, not only in relation to problems in America, but all over the world. The Daily Worker is the great leader and organizer of the working class, with the ultimate purpose of setting up a workers’ and farmers’ government.” Ala. Brickyard Unions Indorse Workers’ Bill By a Worker Correspondent BESSEMER, Ala.— The Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill was passed unanimously by the Federal Labor Unions No. 18464 and No. 18465 of the Hobson Walker Brick- yard and the Alabama Clay Prod- ucts Co. Neither of these plants are working full time and many of the union members are unem- ployed. They realize the necessity of the protection for their families that is guaranteed in the Unem- ployment Insurance Bill. When the bill was read before each local there was not any hesi- tation on the part of the workers to endorse it. The brickyard work- ers have a record for being militant. When the A. F. of L. organized these workers they went out on strike since the A. F. of L. renewed activity here. The leaders of these Federal unions are honest militant workers that will not be duped by the big A. F. of L. fakers. This is the rea- son they were the first ones to break the stranglehold of the fakers. In endorsing the Workers Unem- ployment Insurance Bill the brick- yard workers are adding courage to their brothers in the mines and steel mills to line up the working people of Bessemer behind this bill and force the bosses’ government to pass it and give the workers what they need, ‘Lay Off 1,059 Relief Men in Brockton, Mass.

Although street meetings on the West Side have been banned by the police, the revolutionary movement has already held two successful ones. Last week the crowd was too large for the police to dare break up. This Saturday, the Young Communist League and the Na- tional Students’ League held a bicycle and roller skate sign parade for free speech and to popularize International Youth Day, Aug. 31. Afterward, a street meeting was to have been held at St. Louis, 12th | St, but by the time the pa- rade wound up at the specided | street corner the cops, from the lowliest up to the lieutenant in his private car and the plain clothes dicks, all were there. Leaflets were confiscated and boys on bicycles were told to keep off 12th St. The comrades scattered and in & Letters from RECOMMENDS BACKYARD ELECTION CAMPAIGN ‘ New York City. | Now that the election campaign is starting, may I suggest the back yard campaign; that is, speaking from windows of apartment houses. Comrades with radios with micro- phones attached could use them for broadcasting. The Party would as- sign five or more speakers for each neighborhood. The first speaker would speak at the first house for a limited time, then go to the sec- ond house, while the second speaker took his place at the first house, etc. In this way I believe we can reach people who for some reason can’t attend our open or indoor meetings and the masses in neigh- borhoods where for certain reasons we can’t hold meetings. It is a great advantage to do your own broadcasting without the per- mission of the Federal Radio Com- mission, And besides, we can hold more meetings with less forces and have {more people hear about us.

L., stooping as if to lace his shoes, started yelling slogans and for the crowd to come closer. Immediately after, two comrades hoisted a girl comrade on their shoulders and she began to speak. Then who should come tearing up but one squad car after another, vomiting police with clubs and plain clothes men with something wrapped in paper that looked just like lead pipes. They pushed men, women and even babies in buggies around until there was almost a stampede. A few of our comrades were hurt, but none were arrested, and were those cops mad! Throughout the following weeks, street meetings will be held all over the West Side, short and snappy ones, and Communist _ election petitions are going to be filled one after the other. This meeting sure has pepped us up. Our Readers was a very good article in that paper about the “Catholic Worker,” which I would like to send to a miner in a catholic mining town in | Pennsylvania.

LET US NOT STARVE Turtle Creek, Pa. | Editor, the Daily Worker: In view of the coming elections, \it is fitting to tell the workers to organize against this barbarous sys- tem, which starves us by degrees.

The gov- ernment, through its offices, sent in handymen at 55 cents per hour to do mechanics’ work for which the pay was $11.20 per dav. These men were classified as handymen to take the place of a mechanic. At present scabs are at work. There are many private detec- tives in overalls as mechanics, with revolvers in their pants, on the job. There is some picketing going on. The A. F. of L. leaders are in con- | trol of the strike. The scabs are from Texas, Ver- | mont, Tennessee, etc. The police, as usual, are protecting scabs. | —_—-- gemini ‘Turn Efficiency ‘Hound on Men At Rubber Co. By a Worker Correspondent PROVIDENCE, R. I—at the Phillips Baker Ruber Co., there is a fellow added to the “efficiency” squad who is an honor graduate of Holy Cross College, also a K, of C., who paid $30 for his job, according to the story going round. This fel- low is the worst type of a system- izer, as bad as some of the others ere. They would give half a break whenever possible, but no such thing in his case. In the office along with him are others who have no use for him whatever. Is this the type of “honor pupils” Holy Cross College is proud of? I got this story from one of the workers in the plant who tells me how bad things are in there. When the Daily Worker got spread around it did good work, and has been the cause of more than one “red” sym- pathize:. When this plant was the Bourve Rubber Co., it was a half decent place to work in, if a rubber shop can be so called, that but. things have changed since the “old man died.” They used to pay fairly good wages and did not drive the guts out of the workers. Workers are on the job trying to get an organization formed. Grant’s Food Mother Prefer Strike Strength to Bosses’ Fake Promise By a Worker Correspondent NEWARK, N. J—I staried to work for Grant's Lunch, Inc., in 1928, for $1 a week. I am a counterman by trade. Since the N. R. A, went into effect. at Grant's, the following changes took place: 1, They decreased my pay by $1.50. 2, They are making me and others pay $3 a week for food that is not fit even for pigs. We cannot choose our food. Just before the strike the bosses made us all kinds of. promises. They promised us $300 in order’ to make us drop our union. They also told us they would give us a $3 raise and a loft where we . could all meet. I as well as the others under- stand very well that these prom- ises are a lot of hooey. They promise you the world today and give you a kick in the pants to- morrow. IT am from the 76 Market St. shop.

NOTE: The gagging of the workers can only be fought by or- ganization. The Grievance Committee of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employes should hear the case of any worker who is threatened with punishment by the Penn and defend the worker, This worker should join the Brother- hood, if he is not already in, and present the grievance at Council No. 1 meeting.

OQ. Recruitment Classes Are Arranged By MAX BEDACHT The classes for actives preparing for the campaign of the Interna- tional Workers Order for social in- surance, and for the drive to build the Order to 75,000 members, have now been finally arranged. The Pittsburgh classes and meetings will take place Sept. 11 to 18 with Com- rade Bedacht as director. In Chi- cago Comrade Saltzman will direct the classes and the meetings; there the arrangements are made between Sept. 20 and 27. For Detroit the direction is in the hands of Com- rade Weiner from Sept. 29 to Oct. 6. Cleveland arranges its meetings and classes from Sept. 20 to 27, with Comrade Bedacht as director. The New York classes have not yet been definitely arranged. Daily Worker Campaign All of the branches of the I.W.O. must become active parts of the Daily Worker campaign in their lo- cality. Without the services of our Daily Worker, the Order cannot grow. Without our Daily Worker the Order cannot fulfill its duty of developing class consciousness among its members. We need the Daily Worker to speak to us: we need it to speak for us. Our efforts for the Daily Worker, therefoi2, are a legitimate part of our efforts to build and to strength- en the 1.W.O. That is why in the current cam- paign to raise $60,000 for the Daily Worker our 1.W.O, branches must be heard from very much. Week-End Party fer 7.8. Patients Preparations for the week-end of Sept. 7 to 11 in Camp Kinderland are promising days full of educa- tional and entertaining features. ‘The purpose of the arrangements is to raise funds to secure some help for tubercular members of the I.W.O. who have already drawn all of their benefits and are still sick, disabled and in need of help. Only last week the Order placed two such comrades in a California saniterium. The cost of such extra service must be raised outside of the dues of the Order. To give such service is a comradely duty of our Order to those of its members who by their activities on behalf of the working class haye earned more than the right to receive their con- stitutional benefits. The week-end in camp is not only to raise funds. It will also en- deavor, by lectures of leaders of the Order and of medical experts, to create a better understanding of the problems of workers’ health and of the duty of the Order toward the solution of this preblem. Comrades and friends desiring to come to Camp Kinderland for this week-end can make arrangements for transportation there and back, at the office of the Order, 80 Fifth Ave. The round trip fare is $2.25, in Four Cities ‘The membership drive of our Or- der last Fall has contributed toward making recruiting of new members a continuous function of our branches. Of course, quite a num- ber of branches have not yet been captured by that habit. But enough have to assure a steady and rapid growth of our Order. During 30 weeks since the closing of our last drive we have taken in an average of 269 new members per week. We started our last campaign with less than 25,000 members (ex- clusive of children and of the Rus- sian Section). We begin this cam- paign a month from now with 42,- 500 members. Thus, since our last convention in May, 1933, we have added nearly 20,000 members net to our ranks. Before this year is out we intend to add at least that many more. This new campaign will plant the habit of regular and continuous re- cruiting into still more branches. Thus the regular everyday recruit- ing activity of the branches will be- come a source of still more rapid and steady growth, Forward hed 75,000 Members! . Youth Section Trains Leaders Forty members of the Youth Sec- tion are now completing their third week of training at the Chicago dis- trict school. Soon they will go beck to their branches throughout the West to stimulate the drive for the recruitment of 1,500 young workers both Negro and white during the coming campaign. The young com- rades have taken the school seri- ously, and are learning rapidly how to tackle the problems facing the working class youth and -how to build the L.W.O. The Eastern District Training School is scheduled to open on Sept. 7 at Camp’ Kindetland. It already records a registration of over 700 students. There are a number of Negro youth, in addition to youth from practically every nationality represented in the I.W.O.; Jewish, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Pol- ish, Italian, Russian, Slovak, etc. Such important districts as Pitts- burgh, Buffalo, and Scranton will have students at the school. There is a danger that the school will not be carried through success- fully because of lack of funds. Every possible assistance must be given to our Youth and Children Sections in the training of these leaders. Financial assistance is an immediate necessity. Our adult branches have been asked to contribute $2 and $1, Gepending on the size of the branch. Certainly our Youth and Children Sections deserve this support from each and every adult branch. Let's give it to them. Send funds imme- diately to the National-School Com- oe 80 Fifth Ave, New York
