Such preparations of actual germs, weakened or dead, are called vaccines. Sometimes the poisons of germs (toxins) also treated in various w are introduced; and usually substances which neutralize the effect of the toxins, called anti- toxins, are combined with the toxins hefore injection. This has the effect of eliminating the harmful effects to the toxin without destroying its power to stimulate the formation of anti-bodies. Such a preparation is alled toxin-anti-toxin. to are in- Sometimes dead germs Is Vaccination Dangerous? Now, the question arises: Are hese methods of preventing and treating disease “dangerous”? What are the effects of this treatment? The most outstanding example of the effect of practising vaccination upon whole communities is the dis- appearance of small-pox ep’ ics. In ancient times, and as tly as the 19th century, whole towns and villages were practically wiped out by these epidemics. Today, when small-pox occurs, it is always found in localities where vaccina- tion laws are loosely enforced, or 'from diptheria and typhoid fever | where they are not enforced at all. | And that these few cases do not spread to epidemic proportions, is explained solely by the fact that most people are vaccinated against small-pox. Furthermore, death from rabies (disease from mad-dog bite), cted by the Daily Worker Medical Advisory Board from tetanus (lock-jaw) and others, is no longer a certain fate, thanks to the science of immunology. For today, these diseases are treated with great success, by the injection of serums immediately upon ex- posure. The decrease of deaths since the use of vaccination against them is also striking evidence of its value. Furthermore, in the Soviet Union, where vaccination is used on a mass scale, as it has never been used in any capitalist country, the reduction of devastat- ing epidemics has been so great, that its value cannot be denied. And now, you ask, what are the effects of vaccination upon the in- dividual? These vary with the type of immunizing substance used, and with the individual being vaccin- ated. On the whole, the effects are rarely tions y from no ill-feeling at all, to possible chill and fever with oc- casional ill-feeling for one or two d With some types of immuniz- ing substances like that against dysentery, more severe, and is, therefore, given only in known cases of exposure. In very rare cases there are unex- pectedly violent reactions due to a sensitiveness of the individual to | the substance injected or to a pos- sible impurity in the preparation to be introduced. However, skin tests are usually given to individuals who give a history of “sensitivity” to determine their possible reac- tion; and with the development of the modern technique of prevent- ing other germs from getting into the vaccine, which is used in mak- ing these preparations, the possi- bility of the presence of impurities is negligible.

In nearly all shipyards, especially those that have navy contracts, the bosses used the lie that there was a shortage of welders, as an excuse to break in young workers on that class of work. When activity slackens at the yards, the old weld- ers, men who have spent years at the trade, are fired and the stu- | dents are kept on. The reason for this is the fact that the students receive a maximum of 62 cents an | hour, while the welders get 80 to | 90 cents. In other words, it is sim- ply a scheme to cut wages, because the yards haven’t the slightest in- tention of raising the wages of the students to conform with the ex- | isting welders’ rate. Another of the bosses’ reasons for flooding the market with weld- ers is the fact that nearly all ma- terial used in the construction of | navy craft is galvanized. In the process of welding gal- vanized steel, the fumes, consist- ing of sulphuric acid and zinc, combine with the welding fiux, making a very poisonous mixture. These fumes practically burn out the lungs of the welders. When the welder becomes too sick (or dead) to work, the boss wants to |make sure he will have a man to replace him. The instruments of destruc- tion start to destroy workers’ lives before they are even placed in the water. As a means of combating this and other workers’ evils, I would suggest that all shipyard workers join the SM.W.LU. We are all in the same boat, students included. When we become members, of so- called “unions” designed for in- dividual crafts, we use precious ammunition fighting with other |crafts (a la Mr. Green) which | should be directed at our com- mon enemy—Capital. LETTERS FROM OUR READERS CORRECTION:—On August 31, a letter was printed in this column, | reporting that Sol Gothofsky, an employee of the Silver Rod chain | stores, died of heart failure at a general meeting of employees, at} which the president announced a wage cut. | A correction is made by an em- ployee of the company to the effect (that there had been a rumor of a | wage cut before the meeting was | \called, and that Sol Gothofsky | | dropped dead when the announce- ment was made that there would be no wege cut. | We reprint here the final para- | graph of the original letter, which |has not been denied: “Those of us | who knew Sol and the conditions he worked under, knew that he died a victim to years of miserable working conditions and to the ex- ploitation of the Silver Rod com- pany.” “FIGHTERS IN THE FRONT LINE TRENCHES” | Dear Editor: Jamaica, N. Y. | A few friends and myself have | begun to read the “Daily” lately and like it very much because it is a fearless paper and it always fights | the battles of the working class. But |there is one thing that puzzles us, and would appreciate your enlight- ening us a bit as to the following: What is the difference between Communism and Socialism, and the Communist Party and the Socialist | Party? They both seems to be for the abolition of the capitalist sys- tem, and both say they represent the working class, In short, they} both talk the same language, and} yet they are separate parties. | We must also heard some speak- ‘ers on the Communist platform remark, “we want a socialist so- ciety,” and yet represent the Com- munist Party. We are therefore |somewhat in the dark and a bit confused as to which party to sup- port. Frankly, we are more in sympathy with the Communist | Party, as we feel that they are bet- ter fighters and are always in the front line trenches whenever it con- cerns the working class. Neverthe- | less, we would appreciate your en- | lightening us a bit as to the above: May we also suggest that the Daily Worker devote a column or two every day to the teachings of Communism. This would attract |many workers to the movement if | they knew what Communism stands for. Many workers we speak to about the evils of the system admit |to us that conditions are bad and |the present system is rotten, but what has Communism got to offer, what is its program, how will it function, how will the workers bene- fit by it, and how do we know they are sincere, etc., etc. Fraternally yours, A FEW RAILROAD ,VORKERS NOTE: Communism is defined as a society in which all traces of classes and class antagonism have | disappeared.

F. of L., held an open meeting here at Moose Hall on Sept. 22, at which the Big Shot, Arthur E. Greer, chairman of the A. A. W., was the main speaker. The big point of the meeting was that. Mr. Greer was exposed by workers from the floor and made a hasty exit. Greer explained that his union was an industrial union, with 100 per cent democracy. He spoke | conference in Detroit June 23 and} 24. He admitted that he had been | connected with the Hudson com- | pany union in Detroit, but said he did this for a purpose; his pur- pose was to gather information to defeat the company, later. Of course, he said, if the men would join his union, they would be free to act in their local as they saw fit; there would be no dicta- tion from the top leaders. Only a couple of rules from the top lead- | ership would have to be obeyed: | one, a five-cent per capita tax; two, a majority rule in all matters. His mild attack on the A. F. of L. was that Collins, A. F. of L. organizer, | started to draw a salary of $1.21 per week, and at the end of the year Collins’ salary amounted to $18,000, In his speech Greer quoted a story he had heard. He said there is a man with a wishbone, a man with a jawbone and a man with a backbone. He said the man with a wishbone always wishes that the union would get him a raise in wages, etc., but he never says any- thing. The man with the jawbone chews about how the officers spend too much of the local union’s money and don’t do anything for the workers. Both these men do their talking on the street corner, in the factory, in the pool rooms, | union. backbone,” Greer shouted, “he is the man that gets up on the floor of his local union and speaks his we want and need in this union.” conference on June 23 and 24 in | Detroit. So were you. Didn't you | submit a resolution calling for the | | same thing as Green and Collins did—a rubber-stamp Executive Council?

Meeting in Flint and it was the opinion of a large part of the delegates there that you, Greer, wanted to head the rub- ber-stamp council.” The worker pointed his finger straight at Greer and went on: “When Collins invited you on the floor of the conference to fight for your resolution, you answered by sitting down like a little lamb. You refused to fight. Will you tell us why you didn’t fight for your reso- lution?” Greer got up from his chair and started to clear his throat. He |stammered and coughed and be- gan to try to answer by saying the conference was run by a machine and that he had no chance. Then he sat down. The same worker took the floor again and said: “Greer asks men with backbone to join this union while he has none himself. Didn’t Collins invite you to speak for your resolution? What Was your answer? ‘You have no backbone. Fellow-workers, here is @ man who poses as a leader, who has no backbone to fight for him- self, let alone the workers. Fur- thermore, I myself and two other delegates tried to contact Greer’s delegation at the conference, but we found that you, Mr. Greer, had them bound hand and foot. And this is the man that tells us that his union is built on workers’ democracy.” At this point Greer said to the chairman: “I am late, I must leave,” and he got his briefcase |and went to the rear of the hall, but he sat down for a minute. The worker said he had some more questions to ask, and Greer got up and made for the door, his face red. Another worker arose and said he had a question. Greer stopped. “that, you served in the United States Secret Service?” Greer answered: “I did serve in the Intelligence or Secret Service |of the United States government , during the war, but all of my serv- etc., never on the floor of the local | “But the man with the| li ice was overseas,” and he began to say how proud he was that he had served his country.

PHILADELPHIA, — With the beginning of the N. R. A., the same as in all other big corporations, the R. C. A. Victor, has called for elections to a representation plan. The Radio & Metal Workers In- dustrial Union (an independent union) felt that they were as yet too weak to call upon the workers | to boycott the elections. They suc- |ceeded through participation in the elections to elect quite a num- ber of R. & M. I. U. members into the representation plan. After a short period of work, they con- vinced the workers as to role of the representation plan and then resigned as members of the repre- sentation plan and compelled the company to deal in these various departments, with officers of the Radio & Metal Workers Industrial Union. When the representation plan was thoroughly exposed, the com- pany, through their trusted flunky, | Mr, Kline, who was also the chair- |man of the representation plan, or- ganized a so-called independent union, the “employes union,” with dues on a voluntary basis. This |new form of the company union | terrorized the girls, particularly in the unskilled departments, to join it. However, this new outfit, was exposed by the Radio & Metal Workers Industrial Union, with the result that it was losing ground R. C. A. Vicior W orkers Smash Company Union By a Radio Worker Correspondent steadily. The situation reached such a bad stage, that in the be- ginning of July Mr. Kline and his agents agreed to merge both forms of the company union into one, as the “employes representation plan” On Aug. 29 notices ap- peared in all departments calling upon the workers to participate in an election for representatives to be held on Aug. 30 and 31. The workers were given exactly 24 hours to choose their representa- tives. The pester, to encourage the workers, further stated that the new reprsentation plan, will be “self-governing, self-supporting, and independent.” The men in charge of the new plan were the same Mr. Kline and his supporters. On Aug. 30, early in the morn- ing, we workers in the R. C. A. Victor Plant, received leaflets signed by the Radio & Metal Workers Industrial Union. The en- tire role of the old and new repre- sentation plan were exposed In spite of all the terror cam- paign of the company, such as tak- ing down the clock numbers of those members who refused to vote, the ballots being handed out by supervisors, the workers supported the Radio & Metal Workers In- dustrial Union.

In the Soviet Union today, the pro- letariat has already laid the basis for a Socialist society, but they are still on the way to a Commu- nist society. The Communist Party, there- fore, we can see, fights both for Secialism and for Communism. It fights for Socialism as that form of society to be set up by the pro- letariat after the overthrow of capitalism. The leaders of the Socialist Party, while they speak about the abolition of capitalist society, do not propose to smash (as Marx said) the capitalist state machine and set up in its place a prole- tarian state. On the contrary, de- pite all their phrases about abol- ishing capitalism, they teach the theory of a peaceful path to So- cialism, a path which does not in- | clude the essential step of the rev- | olutionary seizure of state power, and the setting up of a Soviet gov- ernment. In this way, the Social- ist Party does not seriously pre- pare the working class for the smashing of capitalism and the setting up of a Socialist society. ‘The Social-Democratic (Social- ist) parties actually help to pre- serve capitalism by restraining the masses from mass revolutionary struggle against the capitalist state and against the capitalist way out of the crisis, For example, in Germany they gave the greatest support to Ger- man capitalism in the name of the German Republic, and urged the voters to vote for Hindenburg, who ushered in Hitler, In the U. 8. they “criticize,” nevertheless they neyer attack Rooseveit as the agent of the Wall Street capitalist dictatorship. In fact, Norman Thomas declared that “The ‘New Deal’ opens the possibility for transition to Socialism.” ..Thus, in the name of Socialism the Amer- ican Socialist Party leaders urge the workers to accept the intensi- fied exploitation of the N.

The N. R.

Since the N. R. A. the price of their products have increased plenty, and they are hogging in big profits, but the workers are just as hard off as before. We can tell the whole working class (slaves) that the N. R. A. or any other A. B. C., etc., devised by the Roosevelts, cannot favor the rich and the poor at the same time. And if we workers want to better our conditions at all, it has got to be done by ourselves. Let us follow the example of the workers of Soviet Russia, and add that extra S. to the U.S. A. Metal Workers Achieve Gains Through Unity By a Worker Correspondent BROOKLYN, N. Y¥.—We, of the Presto Lock Corp, in the com- paratively short time of member- ship in our Local Union 301, can to some extent boast of certain gains and advantages that are coming our way. The spirit of unity and friendship has arrived at last to our departments. A year ago we were not organized, now almost every individual can point out some of the changes that has taken place toward the betterment of conditions in the shop, All this has come through the militant and honest ways in which our union leaders have conducted the whole issue. To put forth some example of how we were abused in our jobs. In the polishing room we had piece-work and time work, strange to say, but the piece-workers never knew how much they were get- ting on the jobs they were doing (by the gross). In other words, piece and time wotkers used to get the same wages at the end of the week as those not working piece-work, No matter how hard one would work no one could make $20 a week, due to the foreman who tried to save the boss’ capital. Now that we belong to the SM.W.LU. things are quite different. Our jobs are secure, we know how much we're making, decent working con- ditions, which are spreading all over the shop. This should show very clearly to the average straight thinker that only by unity and struggle can the workers obtain from the bosses what constitutes the right of de- cent working conditions. It’s a great feeling of being one for all and all for one. | Radiator Co. Shut Down, | 250 ThrownOut of Work in Newcastle, Penn.

The Central Committee Resolu- tion on recent Strike Struggles printed in the Daily Worker of Saturday, Sept. 15, emphasizes, among many other things, the im-| portance of intensified work by the |Party in its concentration work on transportation industries. In speak- | ing of the tasks facing our Party in the present strike wave the Reso- lution states, “To give special at- tention to such workers as the teamsters—to increase work among railroad workers.” The Party sections and units in tion must take this decision seri- ously if the Party is to entrench it- self in these basic industries. In this article we are attempting to show what the immediate prob- lems are that the Party must un- dertake to solve before it can carry on proper work among the rail- road workers. Party Must Clear Track The railroad workers are of stra~ tegic political importance. Their Special place in the productive machinery of the country ties them up with the political life of the land. The Grand Lodge chiefs un- derstand this and consequently crowd their official paper, Labor, and other rail papers with a skill- ful combination of “radical” phrase- ology and the most reactionary en- dorsement of capitalist political parties, Our Party has the task of clear- ing the tracks for the locomotive of railroad labor. We must bring jour program to the rails and win the majority of the railroad work- | ers for the Party. This task means first of all systematic concentration of the Party forces with Party lit- erature and press; it means estab- lshing the most intimate contact with the railroad workers; it means Jems, to learn of their smallest | grievances and as a Party giving them leadership in helping them | organize struggles around these, grievances. Concentration Behind Schedule | The special District Conference held on Aug. 11 and 12 in Chicago raised some %pecial problems in connection with our concentration work. With the exceptions of min- ing and railroad, the general situ- ation showed our district lagging behind at the shops of concentra- tion. | The railroad comrades reported | that a beginning had been made since the last District Convention. New shop units had been formed. Work was being carried on in some of the lodges. Some good work in concentration was recorded on the Chicago and Northwestern. But the comrades recognized that this was true only in one or two points of concentration, Only one section seriously carried on con- centration work; and even here it was mainly the work of comrades in the concentration units on the Chicago and North Western. The experiences brought out at the Chicago district that have rail- | road for their points of concentra- | trying to understand their prob- | District 8 Behind Schedule Concentration Railroad Workers School Opened in Chicago— Greater Effort Urged in Key Activity the conference proved two things, eee 1, The railroad workers are basically the same as other work- ers. 2. The application of correct | methods of concentration brings results, The conference, however, eme phasized the need for convincing | the Party of the importance of car+ | rying on concentration work. In\ | this article we must point out that! | the proper understanding of this task has not yet penetrated the \ Party, especially at the points of | concentration, What Is Really Missing? Does the Party membership un- derstand the importance of con- centration? The answer is found in the fine work done by one street nucleus in Section Five which con- centrates on the Chicago and North Western. The Section worked on this unit | for three months and with the help of the railroad comrades succeeded in changing it from a “dead” body into the liveliest unit in the sec- tion, As a result, most of the prog- ress made in the C and N. W. must be credited to this unit, The membership will carry con- centration work when the leader- ship will give proper guidance. Sec= tions must change their irrespon- sible approach and work more closely with the units at the im- portant points of concentration. Towards Better Understanding We can best understand this fail- ure of sections to do better work on railroad concentration when we see with what stubborn resistance some sections face this task. The special Railroad Conference recently called by the District had only two section committees rep- resented. This is unfortunately true of all our city Party railroad meet- ings. It is one reason why some sections do not understand the |problems of the railroad workers. | How then can they convince their membership to carry the work of concentration? The Railroad Workers School which opens on Oct, 1 at 3911 W. Chicago Avenue, will go a long way towards solving this problem. The school will deal with the history and problems of the railroad work- ers and will serve as a center of mobilizing railroad workers for struggle on the job and in the rail- road lodges. Railroad concentration sections, units, shop nuclei, etc., should send students to this school. 10 Railroad Lodges at Anti-War Conference This was the pledge made by the railroad comrades at the District Conference. This goal can and must be realized! For this task, every section which has railroad lodges in its territory, must send in its speakers. Calls to the Congress must be brought into every lodge! The magazine “Fight” must be sold at every lodge meet ing! Fulfilling this task will speed the Party schedule of concentration and | will help win the railroad workers |for the struggle against war and fascism.
