In the first place, let us consider what known factors make one more liable to get cancer. As far as heredity is concerned, no definitely i ‘ited factor has been traced. cancer cases do not give a| history, yet, there are fam- ilies in which cancer does seem to occur with unusual frequency. Long continued, chronic irritation has been found to be a definite factor in producing cancer; while) the effects of a viclent blow on the| part afflicted is coming to he con- ered of little importance. Fo: e, cancer of the mouth or is found in inveterate 's and people with bad dental nygiene; cancer of the skin is found in X-ray doctors and technicians; cancer of the lung is prevalent among Czechoslovakian pitchblende miners (working in radioactive ore); cancer of the womb is found in women who have borne many | children with inadequate repair to torn parts.

HELEN HOME LUKE | | san Fall River Shut Down By a Worker Correspondent FALL RIVER, Mass.—Fall River is out 100 percent! The manufac- turers were forced to close all mills, due to mass picketing. Last night police attacked thou- of pickets in front of the Pepperill mill and threw tear gas bombs. Up to date there have been three strikers arrested. The American Federation of Tex- tile Operatives is all out on strike, even though the leaders voted against it. The American League against War and Fascism passed the fol- lowing resolution: “We, the Amer- ican League against War and Fas- cism, support the united national textile strike. We believe that the leaders of the A-F.T.O. should come out immediately in support of the strike, We protest the use of tear gas bombs at the Pepperill Mill. We further protest the unwar- ranted arrest of three strikers.” The workers are militant and de- termined. But the U.T.W. is con- sidered the radical union, and the workers are not watching the union, Ann Burlak spoke Thursday the Big Berry Stadium. at 30 Days in Jail Is Penalty for Strike Activity in Portland By a Worker Correspondent PORTLAND, Me.—Dave Helpern was trying to organize workers to strike in the textile mills and was arrested and put under $500 bail, and given 30 days in jail Thursday |for his acticity.

It is the high- esp point of the Congress. The delegation is headed by Stassova and Kirsanova (leading Russian Communists) and includes the fa- mous woman scientist of the Chel- juskin expedition, and sturdy women from the factories and farms. At that moment something | electric startles the Convention. | “It seemed,’ said Mother Bloor, ‘that then a wave of realization Swept over all of us, that women could never be free until we had) abolished the cause of war and all women’s oppression and inequality —the capitalist system!’ The whole audience goes wild, and though all ate not Communists, all rise to their feet and sing the Internationale, each in her language. The French delegation shouts “Soviets Partout! Soviets Partout!’ (‘Soviets Every- where!’) The other women of the Gongress take up the cry. The Russian women are the most re- markable of the Congress, beautiful, with the vigor, dignity, and poise that can only exist in women of the mly liberated country of the entire world. “A woman from the Bashkir So- viet, Republic speaks. She relates how women had been sold in her country as slaves.

Dear Editor: Iw to comment on the man- ner in which the “Times” prints news of the advance of Soviet Union industry. At the very beginning of the a:ticle which appeared on Aug. 23 was the insidious remark, “Fig- ures for industrial production dur- ing the first half of this year throw | a bright light on the sacrifices this country is making now for the future.” The fact that industry as a whole has advanced 19 per cent in the Soviet, Union, giving immediate im- provement for the Russian masczes, is interpreted by the “Times” as a sacrifice. As a matter of fact Stalin himself stated that the yoars of sacrifice and crisis in the Soviet Union have alrcady passed and that there would be steady progress and advancement without any sacrifice on the part of the Russian workers. Yet the Times begins a purely | news item with an insidious bit of class propaganda for American con- sumption. Following which comes an account of the tremendous ad- vances in the different kinds of, Soviet industry. These reports, al- though well planned with the skep- ticism of a capitalist paper,still show | tnat progress is being made and that very vapidly the industrial ad- vance in the Soviet Union is greater than that achieved in any, capitalist country in the heyday of | its development. I write this letter because I am PARTY LIFE Suggestions Are Offered For Open Air Meetings Thoughtful Preparation Should Be Given as to Content and Presentation of Speeches sion on the technique demonstrations and open-air meetings, begun Tuesday, Aug. 28, should be continued until a set of general rules or suggesiions is hammered out. These principles should fall into two natural divi- sions: how the speakers should |conduct themselves and how the other Party members at the meet- ing should conduct themselves. First of all, there should be one member in complete charge of every open-air meeting—preferably the agitprop—or else the unit or- ganizer. He should send for the permit and supervise the activity of both the speakers and the aon- speakers, As ior the speeches—they should be planned in advance. Otherwise, they will tend to lap over and thus create a feeling of deadly repeti- tiousness, Furthermore, they :aust be planned in an orderly fashion. They should build up to a climax. They should center around one im- portant idea—the election cam- paign,, the Negro question, a future demonstration, etc. This central idea should provide the basis for an exposition of the greater part of the Party line. (Many good speeches, however, have been spoiled by bringing in so much of the Party line that the central issue became obscured. This danger is greatest in neighborhoods least familiar with Communist, ideas.) All speeches must be vivid and interesting. A tention must be given to tonal qualities, to pitch, to volume, to pauses, rhetorical questions. A speaker's voice must vary. Many otherwise dull speeches ‘have been made interesting imerely by an interesting voice. A voice must be appropriate io the neighborhood. Foreign accents are apt to create an unfavorable attitude in a community of Ameri- can born. On the other hand, ac- eented voices and the proper for- eign tongue can often be used with success among foreign-born work- ers. Manchester U. T. W.

In | this way they will help draw in passers-by and stimulate attention on the part of the crowd. The non- speakers, too, often stand with an expression of complete boredom on their faces. They too often look for the nearest pole or the nearest wall—against which they can rest their tired bodies! Moreover, the non-speakers should always be on the alert to button- hole passers-by and draw them to the meeting.

FRONT PAGE NEWS FOR WORKERS New York City. Dear Editor: In the drive for new readers for the Daily Worker, don't | you think you ought to consider some imprevements in reading-mat- ter for the Daily? Do ycu thin thet workers who were brought up on sensational news can all of a sudden become readers of the Daily, which is full of hard bitter stories of struggles, of strikes, of pickets beaten up, of lynchings, terror, party theses, and long editorials? I think that with all the efforts of the Party members, and the mass organizations to make the Deily a real mass paper we will not make much headway if some chang2s are not made in the setup of the Daily. I think that the Daily should have all the news of general inte-est on the front page in a brief form. scores on front page, and mak? the front page attractive as a newspaper to a casual reader. I think that if the Daily make> these changes and gives the front pag? to more news of general inter- est and sporis, it would be worth the “sacrifice,” as some of our sec- tarians think; it would result in bringing thousands of new readers to the Daily, and eventually they will get used to reading the editcrials and eyen the Party theses in the Daily. The question of bow to make the Da‘ly Worker interesting for workers who are not clasc-con- scious or politically developed, is one that has s2riowsly ccmcc=ned the editors. It must be romem- bered, however, first, that @he Daily Worker is a working class newspaper in which the gz<c1 emphasis must be given to work- ing class news not provided io workers by any ether medium; Jn performing this functioa, the Daily Worker muct of course roach the widest strata of wor’ To @o this we haye introdvesd a sports celuma, comic strips, car- toons, a feature page, ete. and will consider further features, But the working class character of the | peper cannot be changed as pro- posed. “No,” develop these answers clima- tically and present a plan for trans- lating this growing energy into ac- | tion. An ideal speech, however, must have more in back of it than the proper kind of manner and voice. Color should be given to our speeches by the use of catchy phrases, humor and irony, refer- ences to neighborhood affairs and national and interna‘ional events of the day, calling attention to specific | articles in the Daily Worker and the fact that this paper is being sold on the spot.
