O. writes as follows: “Please let me know whether vios- ke use of these | having spent at least six years of my life in hospitals, so that I can tell pretty well my condition. And since I've been losing weight rapidly, I have to take either cod liver oil or sterol to build up health. I am e feet six, and weigh 117 lbs.” Our Reply Dear Comrade J. O.—It would be easier to give you concrete advice if you gave us more details as to your illness. You do not state whether a definite diagnosis of T.B. (tubercle bacilli found in the sputum, or ray evidence) was made in your case; nor how much weight you have recently lost. It is true that part of the neces-| sary treatment of T.B. patients is hygenic and educational; and, there- fore, you perhaps do know more about yourself than some other pa- | tients. But if so. you must realize |that any really definite loss of | weight is significant, and demands a |mew check-up by a good doctor of clinic; also that viosterol alone will not arrest an active case without | other measures, On the other hand, there are certain people who nat- urally tend to be thin (often with a family history of leanness) who give the doctor some concern on this ac- count, whereas for them it may be their perfectly normal weight. We cannot tell from your letter, but if you have definitely lost weight recently, or have other suspicious symptoms, a new check-up is im- | perative. If, on the other hand, you | have only lost two or three pounds | over a considerable period, and have |no other signs of activity, we can | advise you by letter and encourage | you to continue hygienic living, and | attempt to put on what weight you | can. | Recent work has not shown that | viosterol has any value either in the terol loses its potency with age; also! treatment of tuberculosis or in help- whether it is better than cod liver|ing an adult on weight.

I have heard it recom-| phe samples of viosterol you mended by many physicians, but you| mention, and their use, is not ad- comrades are the only ones I feel I| vised. We repeat that you would can trust. “My mother died of T.B., and I've had to watch myself since childhood, best help yourself by securing a good general examination, including es- | pecially the state of your lungs.

Crisis Cookery Corner A comparatively inexpensive dish of seasonable vegetables, which would combine excellently with crisp bacon, “fatback,” or other cut | of smoked pork, to make a nour- ishing meal containing some vita- mins, can be made as follows: Mix two cups of fresh stewed tomatoes, two of sliced okra and two of fresh, sweet corn cut from the cobs, with a minced onion. Season with a teaspoon of salt and a-dash each of pepper and sugar; add a spoonful or so of butter or oil; simmer slowly, or cook in double-boiler, until tender, or about three-quarters of an hour. : “Serve over boiled or steamed brown rice (buttered or oiled with a salad oil if available). In lieu of a meat accompaniment, grated cheese could be added. And noodles or boiled potatoes could be sub- stituted for the rice. By HELEN LUKE Can You Make ’Em | Yourself?

More than 3,000, or about 75 per cent of all the Boston shoe workers, are on the streets. The shoe manufacturers are press- ing for wage cuts, despite the fact that the recent agreement signed on | Aug. 1 resulted in wage cuts in most | instances. | Even during the so-called busy | season, which is very short, the | earnings of the shoe workers are low. The majority earn from $11 to $20 |for a 40-hour week. Very few get |more than that. Taking into con- | sideration that a shoe worker does | not work full time more than three | to four months during the year, his | average wage is from $6 to $10 a week, At the mass meeting, called by the Joint Council of Boston, on Sept. 26, about 1,500 workers were present. The meeting was addressed by the General Organizer of the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union, Mackesey, the General Secretary- Treasury, George Wilson, a member of the Council, Patsy Bennedict, and by Mike Salvagio, a member of the General Executive Board. Paul Sel- | vagio was chairman, As usual, none of the speakers | made any proposal as to what should be done in answer to the shoe man- ufacturers who demand wage cuts and who aim to destroy the union.} Mr. Mackesey took occasion to make a bitter attack against the leader- ship of the N. Y. union in a con- cealed way, and also served notice to the Boston District Council leader- ship, saying that the general offi- cials of the union will not tolerate an “unconstructive” criticism, no matter where it does come from. Mike Salvagio of the G.EB. said that although on the one hand he accepts most of the criticism levelled jat the G. E. B. and recognized that the G.EB. made a lot of “mistakes,” on the other hand, he defended gen- eraly the policies of the Resident Committee of the G.E.B. He said that he is as militant as any one of the rank and file, but that militancy cannot at present help to solve the situation; in other words, he does not stand for a policy | of militant struggle. The only concrete proposals for | immediate action came embodied in | @ resolution presented to the meet- ing by the Stitchers local. The res- olution was read at the end of the meeting, only after the insistence on the part of the militant rank and file of the Stitchers local that it be read. | Under the excuse that many had | already left the meeting, the chair- man managed to put through an amendment that the resolution be proposed to the locals for approval. The resolution calls for strikes against wage-cuts, for a fight for |immediate unemployment relief, | and for the Workers Unemployment | Insurance Bill (H-R.7598), for or- | ganization of demonstrations in | front of shops that threaten to move out, and for preparations for a gen- | eral strike for the doing away with grading, and for the establishment jof the minimum hourly rate for | skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers. and for shorter hours. The situation is an alarming one. The shoe workers are thoroughly | disgusted with the officialdom of the union. The bosses take advan- tage of the unemployment situation and attempt to enforce further wage cuts. The rank and file members of the union begin to realize that only by adopting a policy of struggle against the manufacturers can the union be strengthened. It is the job of the militant rank and filer in the union to mobilize the shoe workers in every shop and in every local to put the program embodied in the Stitchers resolution into action. Gorman Gave Up Fight At Time When Strike Pressed Mills Hardest By a Worker Correspondent DETROIT, Mich.—The capitalist press, long before the textile strike, told the workers not to go on strike because the manufacturers are piled |sky high with goods. After a few weeks of the strike, certain firms begin to feel the effect of the strike. Yet at a time like this the sup- posed strike leaders go and stab the workers in the back by calling off the strike without winning any of the demands, (Editor's Note: This worker cor- Tespondent a‘taches a letter sent out by Fashion Frocks, Inc., of Cincin- nati, which begins with this sen- tence: “At present, as a result of the textile mills strike, we are unable to obtain any more material for style Guidance Given to Strikers in Lowell By a Worker Correspondent LOWELL, Mass. — The “Daily” was by far the biggest factor in the strike here in Lowell in fighting for strikers’ demands and exposing the most brazen sell-out in American labor history. In the first days of the strike the Daily Worker sellers were chased off the picket lines, and it was pos- sible to sell only about ten papers in an hour on the main Square. ‘We raised the bundle to 500 copies, and as the strike progressed the effective agitational streamers on the front page, which hit at the very bottom of every worker’s heart, raised the sales of papers to 20 and 25 an hour. At every mass meeting of the strikers, every person entered the hall with a Daily Worker and a leaflet. The Daily Worker sellers were the principal agitators in calling for |mass picketing. Monday mornings the paper made the biggest hit in town. “Stay Out Till We Win,” “Mass | Picketing,” “Defeat Gorman’s Seil- jout Starvation Plan,” “Read All About It in the Daily Worker.” These were the slogans we shouted. The Daily Worker defeated the | ‘red scare,” and on Monday morning all the so-called “trouble makers” were on the front ranks—the picket lines and in the union meetings. The Officials didn’t dare try to put any of the militant workers out of the meetings, To advertise the paper, back num- bers were distributed every day to the strikers, Every striker in Lowell today is looking to the Daily Worker for further leadershp and gudance in fighting the sell-out and ousting the fakers from union leadership. JESSIE TAFT (Signature Aufforized) Newark Plants Expand While Wages Decrease By a Worker Correspondent NEWARK, N. J.—To all pressers, drivers, spotters, washers, benzine- men in the shops of Newark and vicinity. Every day our condition in the shops are getting worse and worse. The union officials still al- low the bosses to do as they please. It’s not any secret that the majority of the workers haven’t even re- ceived the miserable code wage that the N. R. A. has promised. Drivers, who also have to collect for the company, work untold hours and receive the smallest wages in the history of this trade, Pressers are speeded up like ma- chines. They turn out a week’s work in three days—one worker does the work of two. Benzine men work night work, and all with cut wages. Spotters get half the pay they once got, and what do the union officials do for us workers? They come into the bosses’ office and they collect the dues from the workers—$3 a month from our starving wages. We at one time paid only $2 dues a month, then they raised it to $3 a month, with promises of a $500 policy in case of death. A member of the union died and his family never received this $500 policy. If we dare to criticize these officials they threaten us with fines, and bring us up on charges. If the conditions of the white work- ers are unbearable, it’s twice as unbearable for the Négro workers. In the summer season, when the bosses needed us and we could have demanded our rights, the union of- ficials did not hold any meetings. The bosses are always crying that they are going into bankruptcy. Meanwhile their factories are ex-| panding and our wages are getting smaller. It's still fresh in our minds that} Sofman and Ziebold declared a false bankruptcy in order to get rid of the older workers, and after that step the other bosses threatened bank- ruptcy. After putting out these elderly workers they hired younger workers. We will demand a living wage and shorter hours and strengthen our union by uniting, men and women, Negro and white. Letters from Our Readers FASCISM IN FINLAND Camarillo, Calif. Dear Editor: I surely appreciate the article in the Daily Worker, September 4, entitled, Finland Imperialist Base for Attack on Soviet Union, as on my tour of Europe in 1933 I went to Finland the latter part of De- cember. I also visited parts of the Soviet Union, The Finnish fascist rulers have great dreams of grabbing Soviet Karelia and clear into the Urals. I saw the soldiers training in all Kinds of weather, while it was snowing and sleeting, so as to get hardened up to the weather con- ditions, which are very severe in Finland. I was surprised what a hatred the Fascists have created in Finlond toward the Russians. Finns think they are the superior race, the pure race, and the Russians are hated in Finland just like the Jews are in Nazi Germany. I am very glad that the Daily Worker is exposing the work of Fascist Finland. E. W. ie. he rae NOTE: The incitement of race and national hatreds is a typical weapon of fascism and capitalist reaction. This is one of the ways the expleiting class, industrialists and big landlords attempt to blind the workers of their own country as to who their real enemy is. Against this chauvinism, the Communist Party fights for inter- nationalism, for the solidarity of all who toil. In Finland, the fascist rulers are, of course, using this old trick of race and national hatreds, But this deesn’t mean that everybody in Finland is filled with race and national hatreds, The Finnish Communists are leading the toil- ing population of Finland in a fight against this chauvinism. There is a deep-seated solidarity among the Finnish workers and poor peasants for the Soviet Union. EX-SERVICEMAN, FATHER WRITES TO PRESS New York City. The following letter was sent to the New York Daily News, a capitalist paper, We herewith print, in full, copy sent to Daily Worker. Dear Sir: I am writing these few lines in the hope they will be published in both the New York News and the Daily Worker. As an American born citizen, ex-service man, having done service in both army and navy, I believe I have a right to express my opinion of things in general. I am a married man, with two children. I have graduated from our public schools, have always been as patriotic as most anyone, have led a clean, honest life, until now, when I find it impossible to do so. The so-called depression has separated me from my family. I have one daughter, exactly seven- teen, who last June graduated from High School with honor, and without any help from me, as I have not been able to do anything for her in years, in fact she is two hundred miles from here. I also have another daughter in the house who is being cared for by 840—navy and red color.”) notice that my daughter of s>ven- teen, being unable to find work, has been arrested for stealing in a Boston department store. This news I don’t like, but can I blame her? No, I can only blame this on the system we are living under. She cannot get work. What else is there to expect. I note in your New York News that you give your share of knocks to the Communist Party, a party that is fighting for the interest of the working class. I have not ever been called a Communist, but from my experience I am only glad from now on to be called a Red, not only called this but I will vote that way and all my friends who have any faith in me will do the same. From now on I am for a prole- tarian revolution, against capital- ism, fascism and all other terror- ism. I am a real American born ex- army and navy man, Lhe. Hye 2 CRITICISM THAT IS NEEDED New York, N. Y. Dear Comrade Editor: I was going to “let it slide” in uncomradely fashion, but since you printed the criticism of the Hern- don demonstration at Rockland Palace, the companion piece ought to follow. I was at the Bronx Coliseum the night of Angelo Herndon’s appearance, and I must say the whole affair was badly run off. At the demonstration last week on the square in support of the textile strike, the same deplorable disorder prevailed that so many comrades and bystanders have criticized. You'd think by now they'd know enough to exhibit a little self-control. The meeting Was miserably small, and even this small turnout was broken up into chattering cliques. If they aren5't interested in the speaker, they should go away, not stand and talk small talk, which sounds very silly in the face of a life-and- death strike and is annoying to those who would like to listen. Just a few comments on the Daily. The question and answer column is a long-needed inn tion; David Ramsey's stuff is in- dispensable. How about an o- casional paragraph of Sceince for Pioneers on Saturdeys? Simple experiments in physics and chem- istry, etc. The Daily is very easy to sell if you str its working class appeal, explain to the buyer that “working class” includes professionals, intellectuals and un- employed. T guess that’s all. It's a lot, but I’m so enxious to eradicate our worst mistakes. Please keep telling the comrades not to disrupt other meetings, nor sneer at A. F. of Lers, Socialists, etc. They need it. R. B, POLICIES OF DEFEAT New York, N. Y. Dear Editor, Your splendid editorial “How To End Bloodshed In Strike,” is in- dicative of the clear thinking, firmness, and strike wisdom so characteristic of the Communist Party in its fight for the workers. The vacillating policies of the opportunist leaders of the U. T. W. and A. F. of L. will result only in defeat for the strike. tax payers.
