All milk contains a certain number of bacteria. Milk is an excellent food for bacteria as well as for humans, so this is unavoidable. In fact, it is a cer- tain kind of bacteria that turns milk sour, just as yeast causes wine to r to cil fever and sep ore throat; isolated instances of typhoid fever and other discases may occur through contact in transit with infected carriers. There are definite generally well- enforced laws for taking care of these matters: Laws regulating the testing of cows for tuberculosis and for the germ of undulant fever; for inspecting the udders for the streptococcus which produces sore throat; regulating the amount of fat; for frigeration in! and for paste' I of slow off most of t knowledge, in any of the la to conform to these fairly rules.

JUSTICE FOR FASC 's New York, N. Y. Dear Editor: To those familiar with the col- laboration of the authorities of the state with the attacks of fascist groups against the workers in Italy and Germany prior to the official ascension of fascist rule, an item in the World Telegram offers a striking parallel in the march of events in this country: “HAMMONTON, N. J., Aug. 27.— For ix members of what the po- lice described as the ‘Khaki Shirts,’ an asserted fascist organization, were arrested when the authorities invaded a meeting here yesterday. Police charged many here were armed with knives and clubs.

We should say that except in the case of a pecially-prescribed diet for an in- nt with sensitive digestion, any ed and bottled Grade B milk is y as good for a child. It is interesting to note that in some recent strikes where the poor farmers have offered aid to the strikers, the big companies have stepped in with the hue and cry of “impure milk” in the effort to break this unity. As a matter of fact, in these cases, if the milk was from tested cows, the milk was probably 2s good as could be ob- tained, because by cutting out the middlemen, the journey from cow to consumer was made particularly quick and direct. In closing, one might add that most child specialists nowadays ad- vocate as an extra precaution bringing the milk to a boil before feeding to infants under one year. The vitamins destroyed by boiling should be supplied by giving orange or tomato juice and cod liver oil. Our Readers ous trouble, as a crowd of anti- | fascists had asesmbled outside the meeting hall and was hurling abuse at the khaki-shirted faction. “All except four of those arrested were given $10 suspended fines. The others were held in $50 bail for investigation.” It is particularly important to note that of 46 avowed fascists, armed with knives and clubs, 42 of those arrested on this charge were given $10 fines—which fines were suspended. Contrast this with the $1,000 bail on simple vagrancy charges (cooked up in the absence of any legal pro- ceedings under which they could be held) in California. Contrast this further with the terror against militant workers in the recent Sea- brook strike in the same section of the State of New Jersey. This is an evidence of the assist- ance of the “constituted authori- ties” to the rise of fascism in America.

Write Tllus- | Fall River Misleader Hits Strike By a Worker Correspondent | FALL RIVER, Mass.—The A. F. T. O. leadership (American Fed- eration of Textile Operatives) is certainly playing a lousy part in this strike. Last Wednesday they asked for police protection for | their own meeting. Thursday the Fall River paper printed that the secretary of the Weavers’ Protec- tive Association, Larner, affiliated to the A. F. T. O., said that 85 per cent of the Fall River strikers de- sire to work and would do so if | given adequate protection. Only a strikebreaker and a labor faker could issue such a statement. | The workers in Fall River know too well what “adequate protection” means. About statement workers don't want to strike: Everybody here in town knows that before the strike the U. T. W. was very weak. Everybody in town knows that the A. F. T. O. leaders voted against the strike. And in spite of that, the second day of the strike, the mills were shut 100 per cent. And only one attempt to open has been made and that mill has to elose again pretty quick. ‘Yet Larner has the nerve to say that the workers didn’t want to go on strike. The Fall River paper, of | course, grabbed that le ‘and printed it on the front page. The Fall River Herald News also prints an editorial today about “minorities” | nity. The paper is using every | trick such as that schools will close if the strike continues, and muni- cipal services curtailed. But they got enough money to increase the | police force and get more dicks. There are rumors through the town that the National Guards are practicing, and they’ve got money | for that. The workers of Fall River are 100 per cent behind the strike. | They didn’t need the union leaders to tell them to strike. The stretch- out system and low pay made con- ditions unbearable. And the strike will be won if we prevent any monkey business with | arbitration boards and settle the | strike ourselves. the 85 first per of his of the part cent Tuining the commu- | tiie Up Dues While Chee 3 C. ig? Workers Talk Strike Program in Taetics of Discowragement Cause Lines im Front | (By a Worker Correspondent) LAWRENCE, Mass.— Even the slightest pretenses for strike action jhave been discarded by the U.T.W. misleaders in Lawrence, in their anxiety to cooperate with the mill owners and keep the textile work- ers handcuffed to their looms. Conspicuous in these efforts to sabotage the national textile strike in general, and the local strike situation in particular, are CotteH, a faker of the rankest order from Fall River, and his hireling, Joe Salerno, 8 Socialist demagogue, who is posing as a friend of labor, but whose real motive is to recruit members into the U.T.W., which has only about a dozen members in Lawrence, collect dués, and break down any militancy on the part of the strike-anxious workers. A typical illustration of these methods is seen in the following speech by Cottell before a gather- ing of workers waiting to picket the Duck Mill on the morning of Sept. 13. “If a strike call would be issued, it would be a complete washout. ganizer.

In Boston alone, several of them, | such as the Marmon, Selvin and | others, have already served notice on the Joint Council of Boston to , that effect. They do this in the old worn out | way. First they get a few suckers |in the shop, promise them that the cut is only for those who are mak- ing “too much” and the “good boys”’ will not be affected by it. It is true that the Joint Council took a stand at this time, and flatly | refused to give wage cuts, and some | of the members went even so far as making “militant” speeches to the crews against cuts. But we must not forget, that only a few weeks | ago this same Joint Council granted a 7% per cent cut to the Harvard | and Prospect, thus laying the ground | for this widespread wage cut move- ment. | Are the shoe workers any better | off than the textile workers?

At a meeting on Sept. 1 in Ha- verhill of the Resident Committee of the General Executive Board, |Joint Councils and Executive Boards of Boston, Lynn, Haverhill, Salem, Chelsea, Amesbury, Mar- borro, etc., of the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union, represent- ing more than 30,000 shoe workers, the general organizer, Mr. Mackas- sey, reported that the shoe manu- facturers of New England and New York and the big shoe chain stores have organized in a combine and decided to announce a reduction in the price of shoes Oct. 1. They fur- ther decided to dictate the wages to be paid to the shoe workers. This combine is organized and controlled by the biggest open shops in the shoe industry, namely, the Endicott-Johnson and the In- ternational of Manchester, N. H. Mackassey further reported that they cannot produce any shoes at present wages paid, and compete with these chain stores controlled by the combine, The Resident Committee of the General Executive Board of the United offered no proposal to meet the situation.

Up until now we had been | unsuccessful. However, on Wednes- | day night, September 5, we managed | after many trying efforts to contact the leaders to ask a united front for | the coming City Hall Demonstration | and Parade on Sept. 22. These leaders, we found, were | very evasive and hemhawed and squirmed and thought up all kinds | of subterfuges. After a lengthy dis- cussion, we could obtain no definite results. Therefore, we, the Commit- tee, that was elected by the Unem- | ployment Council membership, de- | cided that we were wasting our time | with these fakers and misleaders. | We concluded that the best thing | that we could do, would be to de- |mand the floor from the chairman and present our own case to the | rank and file members of the Work- | {plainly name, address and style|¢rs’ Unemployed Union and state numker.

It ts get- ting late, and . . .” Cotte: “How many here from the Duck Mill? (No one raises hand.) Cottell: “We appealed to the Commission to have peaceful pick- eting, but if the Duck Mill workers aren’t here and don’t want to strike then we cannot force them. We must first build the U.T.W. and I have some application cards here.” Steve: “I think we should have a vote on picketing the D.M. right now!” Salerno: “If there {s any doubt as to whether we shoulid picket or not, then there should be no picketing.” Steve: “Let's take a vote.” Salerno: (finally) How many in |favor? (All stand up.) All right, we will picket.” Cottell: “After picketing we will come back to this hall and have a meeting to start the organization. Those who won't join the U. T. W. will not be allowed to picket or par- ticipate in any of these meetings.” Voice: “How about the unor- ganized workers from the D. M. itself?” (Interruptions from the floor, but Salerno adjourns the meeting.) Thirty-four pickets go. Fourteen from Lowell and twenty from Law- rence. These tactics of discouragement, continued, the lines dwindled daily, until on Friday afternoon no pick- eting was held. Some pickets were present, but Cottell and Salerno stalled and then announced “no picketing.” Note: This letter gives a good picture of the way the U. T. W. officials attempt to block mili- tant strike action in the textile strike. Against these attempts there should take place actions over the heads of these officials toward forming united front of all textile workers for mass picketing. A rank and file committee of the best fighters in the union should be elected to take charge of the strike activities and the mass picketing. The method of flying squadrons to pull out the slower mills should be employed as it is being employed through- out the strike area. The workers in the mill are anxious for mili- tant leadership. They should be drawn into the active work of organizing the picket limes, re- gardiess of the actions of the U. T. W. officials. cil was carried. This motion states “that the Joint Council and Execu- tive Boards and the G.E.B. go on record to strike every shop where a wage cut is threatened directly or through regrading, and that mass meetings be called immedi- ately in every shoe locality to ex- pose the attempt of the manufac- turers to cut wages, and smash our union. That the GEB. be em- powered to enforce this decision.” While Mackassey and GEB. members accept a motion which passed unanimously to notify the manufacturers that the union will stand pat and not accept reduc- tions, up to date no such notifica- tion was sent to the manufacturers.

Bosses Jittery In Connecticut Strike Section By a Worker Correspondent | DANIELSON, Conn.— Danielson |is known as the curtain center of the United States. This sleepy little town is now transformed into a volcano of hatred, the class lines are drawn, the petty shopkeepers are lined up with the masters, but you find real militancy in the workers. Putnam, 8 miles nosth, is now the center of attack by the flying squadrons. Thouble was expected there this morning. Troops are still concentrated and being strengthened in Danielson and Putnam. The workers’ spirit is not demoralized but very high, the same feeling prevails here as in RI. and Woonsocket. The U.T.W. leadership is not spreading the strike effectively here. The mills are working in Baltic and other points. Mystic is still working along with Welling- ton Cotton mill. National Guards in plain or civilian dress are being used in secret service work here. and in other centers, to spy out the activ- ity of workers. I was approached for some information about the strike activity in a restaurant here and found out this information, The bosses are sure jittery. | MILLS SHUT IN MIDDLETOWN By a Worker Correspondent MIDDLETOWN, N. Y.—Most of the mills here and around here are closed. There are one or two mills that are not closed, but they will be before long. The workers at the Dundee mill here in Middletown went on strike a week ago, because four men of the local union had been dismissed for union activities. NOTE; We publish letters from textile, needle, shoe and leather workers every Wetlnesday. Workers in those industries are urged to write us of their conditions of work, and of their struggles to organize. Get the letters to us by Saturday of each week. The Boston Joint Council, under the the pressure of the militant rank and file, has so far refused the demand of the manufacturers for cuts. In the next few days the membership will be mobilized for a fight against the attempt of the manufacturers to smash the union. Build Unity for Jobless Demonstr he read a letter from the Unem-| Unemployed Union, the Rank and ployment Council members, request- | ing rank and file workers to join us in the huge demonstration and protest parade at City Hall and also in going to the Home Relief Station to picket and present the various cases which, from time to time, we of the Unemployment Council take to the Relief Station to get relief. The chairman objected to reading this letter but came to the conclu- sion that it would be better to grant us the privilege of speaking to the rank and file from the floor. We could see from the very beginning that the members were of the same opinion and in sympathy with our proposal for a united front. And they themselves demanded that the chairman read this letter, which he did, and then asked for them to vote on the matter; the vote was unani- mously in favor of participating on | the United Front basis in the pa- rade, regardless whether or not the executive leadership approves of it. The chairman became somewhat | upset, and admonished the mem- bers that it would not be advisable for them to take part in the parade | without them first consulting the Executive Central Leadership. One! member rose and said that since he had been a member of the Workers’! File members had brought up many subjects on a proposal for a volun- tary united front with the Unem- ployed Council and that the leader- ship found many excuses for refus- ing on a proper basis. He said that when the executive was approached on the basis of forming a united front with the Unemployed Council, they would tell the Rank and File members that they could do nothing without the sanction and approval of the Rank and File; and when the Rank and File voted in their locals in favor of any important question lconcerning the United Front, they, ation. the leadership of the local, would repeat like parrots the same phrases of the executive, that they could do nothing until they had seen the ex- ecutive and brought it to their at- tention. ‘We advised the members of the Rank and File that they march in this demonstration in spite of what the Leadership will have to say. We pointed out that their struggle is as much our struggle, and that we! should co-operate and assist one another instead of pulling against leach other. no matter what organi- | zation they belong to. The mem- bers heartily approved. Here Is My Bit Toward the $60,000! NAME ADDRESS AMOUNT Tear off and ma $ il immediately to DAILY WORKER 50 EAST 13th St. New York, N. ¥.

This emphasis is necessary if | we want to break down the defeatist wards having candidates | elected. | widespread not only in our lower | cadres and among our candidat our but is permewting the ranks of many of our leading committees also. This defeatist attitude is mainly responsible for the manifest under- estimation of our election campaign in a great many of our units, sec- tions, and in many high leading committees. The failure to realize the possibility of electing some of | of the election campaign activity— to treat it as a special campaign, as we already have on hand with the | consequent ill results, This defeatist | attitude accounts in large measure |for the neglect of using the elec- | tion campaign as one of the most | objectives, | Some Recent Experiences | To illustrate how the election campaign can help broaden out our contacts and fulfill our control tasks it will be worth while to recount some of the experiences of our elec- tion campaign in the City of Cleve- Jand, To broaden out our among those strata of the working class we were unable to reach till now it was decided to build a broad committee of non-Party members around each and every candidate, making the candidates responsible to build up this committee, Even the first results were surprising. These candidates who took this task seriously found such a ready re- sponse from the workers that in- stead of a committee of five or ten as the plan called for, good pos- sibilities exist to have even com- mittees of fifty, a hundred, or even several hundred around them to serve as their campaign machinery. To be specific, around Comrade Yetta Land, candidate for Attorney General a committee of thirty-five was set up in the Mayfield territory, a committee of twenty-two on the South Side, a committee of about. twenty-five in the Scoville area, with more committees in the offing. More than a hundred active mem- bers were organized in her commit- tees already, and as Comrade Land remarked, she is only beginning to scratch the surface now. Similar committees are now forming around Comrades E. C. Greenfield, Edith Meffin, Alex Voros Wrought, Mary Lindsey, N. D. Davis, candidate for county prosecutor and others. Comrade Meffin in organizing her committee secured the support of the Star Social Club (which, until now has never participated in pol- ities). Comrade Lindsey received the wholehearted endorsement of Negro youth, promising her active support in every respect. Negro preachers are being drawn in on some of the committees organized around our Negro candidates. In the organization of these committees great care is taken to recruit only active and capable workers, those who will be able to draw others around them and reach sections of the working class we weren't able to reach before. Some of these committees have former Democratic, Republican ward and precinct men on them. attitude, even in our own ranks, to- | This defeatist attitude is| our candidates leads to the neglect | something additional to the tasks! important levers to reach our basic | influence | the Yukon Club—an organization of | Elected Scored by Ohio Election Manager In organizing these committees the greatest use is made of the personal following of the candidate to draw in active persons who are willing |to support and work for that par- ticular candidate even if they do not accept the full program of the Com- munist Party but have confidence in the honesty and sincerity of that particular candidate towards \ the | working class. These committees ‘sx9 building broad groups around thega in various territories, drawing An more active people into the coma: mittee, building our machinery, New Paths to the Shops In organizing these committees | we found that we were able to draw workers from concentration shops, from the A. F. of L. and other unions where we were long trying to get contact but were unable to secure them and who, properly util- ized, can become instrumental in building our revolutionary unions and the opposition in the A. F. of | L, and reformist unions. To explain the organization of these committees, let us take the example of Comrade Yetta Land again. A week ago Friday, a number of Italian workers whom she knew personally, were approached by Comrade Land and called to a meeting. Ten of them responded, (eight of them non-Party), two from the South Side, eight from the | Mayfield Territory. These ten or- ganized a comittee of 35 in less than a week in Mayfield and about twenty-two on the South Side. House meetings were called by these committees, reacting over two hun- ; dred workers who enthusiastically | responded to support Comrade Yetta Land and the Communist Party in the coming elections. In these house meetings the committees were fur- ther enlarged from the most active elements who pledged to carry on active mobilization, raise fin- ances, organize additional house- meetings and ararnge a big mass meeting for Sept, 21 and 22. To some of these house meetings so many people came from the neighborhoods that not only the house, but even the yard was jammed mostly with people who now for the first time heard the Communist program. The organization of other groups is ismilarly done. Although this was started little over two weeks ago, some of our candidates are al- ready reporting committees as high as fifty or more around them. The Role and Utilization of House Meetings House meetings to be successful should be organized two, three or four for the same evening in blocks neighboring each other so the can- | didate can attend and address all of them in one evening. The neigh- bors have to be visited and invited over by explaining to them that such and such a candidate is visit- ing that particular family at such and such a time and everybody is welcome. At this house meeting the candi- date has a chance to deliver an in- formal talk of about ten minutes and answer all questions, It was found that the intimate relationship thus set up between the candidates and the workers brings the work- ers far closer to us than the tradi« tional method of formal speech= making. Great care must be taken that the unit members also attend these house meetings to sell litera- ture and recruit for the Party, or other mass organizations. The first week we initiated this, twelve new party members and two Y. C. L. members were recruited, splendid material for the Party. As @ result, a socialist competition has been started between the candi- dates as to who will recruit the most party members by Sept. 30. The or- ganization of the house meetings is also on a socialist competition basis —who will bring the most people. The $60, | Picnic & PB 28.50 Sec 2, Dorchester Tot.
