L., Long Beach, Calif.:—The operation sterilization of the male is very sim not dangerous When done by a good surgeon, and does not har oy the sexual desires. It simpler op- €ration tha e done for ster- ilization of the le. However, ery important to remember t n a capitalist so- ciety, Ss C 1 sterilization (ike most other laws), always have catches in them which make them extremely da rous for anyone who struggles against the oppres- sion of the bosses. Although originally those laws are Supposed to give legal permission for sterilization of the unfit, such as the ane, epileptics, “crim- inals,” etc., the wording of the law is so loose that one can give it any meaning one wan For example, the word “unfit” or “criminal” can f desired, be applied to anyone who s his voice against war, aga yage cuts, against anything w ht cut down the profits of bosses. Such laws are espec: dangerous in Fascist countries where anyone disagreeing w cism is considered “criminal “unfit.” and Sexual Relations During Pregnancy L. L., Buffalo, N. ¥.:—The best authorities agree that intercourse should not be permitted during the first three months and the last two | months of pregnancy. One of the most important rea- sons given for the taboo in the first three months, is that if a woman is, liable to miscarriages, sexual re- lations may be one of the causative factors in bringing one on. This is due to the excitement and the irri- tation and congestion of the or- gans during the sexual act. No doubt, the frequency of miscarri- ages in the newly married is due to this cause. During the last two months of pregnancy, the situation is differ- ent. At this time the better trained obstetricians will not permit them- selves even a simple vaginal exami- | nation, except under unusual cir- cumstances or extreme emergencies, to say nothing of allowing inter- sourse. No matter how carefully clean the doctor may be in doing such An examination, there is a strong possibility of introducing germs from the outside into the vagina. ‘These germs may produce an infec- tion in the woman during or after | labor, sometimes leading even to fatal blood poisoning. For this reason, doctors nowa- days do few or no vaginal exami- nations during childbirth. The prog- ress of labor is determined by rec- tal examination. Therefore, one can readily under- stand why intercourse should be denied. The sexual act can hardly be carried out under conditions which permit strict surgical cleanli- ness. Then ‘again, the strain and ex- citement associated with cohabita- tion may cause the bag of waters which develop the child to break, bringing on premature labor. Sometimes intercourse may even cause a separation of the afterbirth from the wall of the womb produc- ing alarming hemorrhage in the mother and possibly death of the infant In the intervening period between | the third and eighth month, indul- gence is permitted, if it is agree- able to both husband and wife. There are no set rules about a woman's desire for intercourse dur- ing pregnancy. It is quite variable Many women have a distaste for it during this time and in others the desire is increased. After childbearing, it requires ap- proximately six weeks for the pelvic organs to return to their normal state. Intercourse should there- fore, not be allowed for at least 2 months after the birth of the baby. CORRECTION In our Saturday column the quo- ta set by the Board for the Daily Worker drive, was announced at $3,500. It should have read $1,500. The mistake was the result of the enthusiastic interpretation given our scrawl by our Secretary. Your support can still justify Comrade Secretary's enthusiasm, Workers Plan Labor Conference to Help Win Textile Strike LANCASTER, Pa., Sept. 18. Steps are being taken here to form a united front of all workers to aid the textile strike. The Workers Pro- tective Association, an organization of unemployed, will present a pro- posal to the strike committee of the United Textile Workers for the or- ganization of a labor conference to mobilize all working class forces to help the strike. Only three mills remain open here and these will be closed by united | mass picketing.

The right foot ends at the ankle and the left ends half way between the heel and the normal location of the toes. “The baby, a boy, was born with +a cleft palate and rudimentary ..tongue grown into the palate. It | was taken to the clinic building today and the tongue was dis- sected from the palate in the presence of doctors, who were all very much interested in examin- ing the baby. “Its abnormality was attributed to a deficiency in cell growth by Dr. Cummins, and is not due to any lack of nourishment on the part of the mother, the doctor | stated. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs are relief clients.

The company | refused to grant this just demand and the membership of the union decided on strike, to gain 10 per cent wage raise increase and union | recognition. The firm claimed that |it did not make profit enough to give a general raise, but they were | willing to give partial raise to de- | serving workers “to be selected by | themselves,” of course. This was |turned down by the union as an |effort to split the ranks of the | workers. | Then at Mahoney's, A. F. of L. official, suggestion “N. R. A.” ar- bitration was accepted, which |proved a grave mistake. The re- | sult of the arbitration was an agree- ment between the union and the |firm. According to this agreement |the union called the strike off and the firm agreed to cooperate with the accountant appointed by the union to check up on the truth- fulness of the firm’s contention of not making profit. If the joint the firm agreed to grant 10 per cent | raise; if not, the union would not demand any raise. Believing in the firm’s honest intentions, this seemed fair to the union member- ship. The union recognition was gained; which did not mean much | as on account of the militancy and | check up would show enough profit | |peal to the N. R. A. proved to be | useless. The N. R. A. handled the firm | with gentle kid - gloved hands. | Finally the firm turned over a sheet | of paper to the union’s accountant half filled with figures. According to this statement the accountant | finds that the company is making | | approximately 35 per cent profit. The shop committee contacted the | Management and demanded that the agreement be fulfilled. The management asked three days to | think the mateer over and the union, convinced of the company’s insin- cerity, declared a holiday until the | agreement was fulfilled. On Thursday, Sept. 13, there was an N.R. A. arbitration hearing and the following New Deal Model 1934 | was proposed by the company’s | | representatives: 1—Open shop; 2. | | —10 per cent raise after six months | from now “if the company makes | enough profit; 3.—Will take back only 50 men selected by themselves of course; 4—Bonus system (speed | up) and some more lesser New Deals | lin similar veins. Needless to say | that this new deal was promptly | turned down by the membership. | In order to split the workers’ | ranks, the company circularized the | | workers. Their circular contained | some lies which speak for them- | selves. We note the following: “It | is our belief, that there are people | | employed in our plant who have | | constantly agitated our employees, who are in the employ of our com- | | petitors for the purpose of break- ing up the company’s business,” “in | a number of instances we have found | foreign material in our products that could be put there only by some one in our employ for the fur- ther purpose of making it impos- sible for us to continue business. All these efforts of the company to split the ranks back-fired and made the union stronger in fighting spirit than ever. In the meantime the strike is conducted militantly.

These in the main are the reasons why Lawrence is out of the picture in this great strike. “However, there is current in Lawrence much sympathy for the strikers which could be utilized for support of the strike. This was evident at the mass meeting on the at which Giovanneti spoke. “Lawrence should have received more attention from the N. T.
