When a person goes to them for this dole or relief check once a month, the County comes out with a sob story that they have no money, they are broke, and hand that person from $8 to $12 for the month to live on, includ- ing his rent.

DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1934 Quar antine Frank Balizak Killed By Speedup in Gary Plot Jails Candidate Relief Officials He] p Frame Communist Nominee By a Worker Correspondent FT. DODGE, Ia.—Henry Mosher, Communist candidate for state rep- resentative from Webster County, | has again been picked out for an at- | tack by the local bosses. Following a recent talk to a large group of workers and farmers during his campaign, he was arrested and held | in jail for a day. During this time the local authorities framed-up with the relief officials to have Mosher quarantined. The relief doctor | signed papers charging that the Mosher family must be quarantined | for a period of 30 days because of scarlet fever. pa There is no member of the family | ill at present, nor has there been in the past, from scarlet fever. One of the children did have a mild attack of measles, but this was over two weeks ago. Today the children are up and playing about the house} with no sign of sickness, yet the doctor refuses to release Mosher from quarantine. | This is an obvious attempt of the bosses to keep Mosher from talking | to the workers and farmers and) winning many Communist votes in the election. Also, in view of the repeated | warnings against Mosher, if he| breaks quarantine, the bosses can | provoke Mosher so that they will have a “legal” excuse to throw him back into jail. Workers and farmers of Ft, Dodge are urged to protest against this vicious method of intimidation against their fellow workers.

This very day (Saturday) many will be told not to come in again until | “business picks up.” And now we workers are being toid, we must contribute to the Community Chest Fund Campaign, whereby the city administration and the employers are cooperating jin an attempt to force the em- ployes of Springfield's industries and corporations to bear the burden of relief to the unemployed. And} what are our union representatives | doing about it? | October 23rd they had a meeting with the management where it was decided to adopt one of two methods for putting over this plan.| One «'vocated by the Community | Chest Program is for compulsory contributions of ten cents a week for 40 weeks by each worker—$4 a year. The second method, advocated by the conipany, asks for 10 cents! a week for 52 weeks. Did the Employe Representatives make any attempt to expose the vicious anti-labor nature of the plan to make the workers bear the burden of responsibility for the unemployed, which is the rightful obligation of the employers and the government? No. Instead they agreed to go to their respective sec- tions, find out which method of paying it was less objectionable to the workers, and tiyn in a report to the Works manager in two days. Since when did true trade union | democracy permit any groups or committees to make such an agree- ment without bringing it before a ful membership meeting?

Every year articles describing GARY, Ind.—Fellow steel work- ers, I would like to tell the details of how Frank Balizck was run over and killed Saturday morning, Oct. 13, 1:30 a.m., at No. 5 Stockyard. The bosses are preaching day and night about “safety first,” but they forget to preach about the reducing workers. This man was placed to work on the stockyard cranes, as @ hooker, but his real job is to straighten the iron scrap that the crane is loading into the charging buggies. This man was compelled to use a long iron rod about 8 or 10 feet long, shaped as a hook, that he could get a hold of the magnet whieh is loading the scrap-iron from the Standard R.R. cars to the buggies. The magnet alone weighs from 7 to 10 tons, not counting the iron. The stock foreman’s duties are to lead the buggies into the yard and see that everything is clear, and the same goes when he is up on the floor of the open hearth, but they do not do that, for the simple reason that they make a few cents a day in the form of tonnage, Natu- rally that makes them forget all the safety rules in the world, So the stock foreman, whom we switchmen call a stock chaser, in- stead of going in the yard, stops at the scale shanty and lets the buggies run down the yard blindly. At that very moment the hooker was trying to swing the magnet of speed-up which really kills the | square on top of the charging boxes, | be accused of trying to deliberately | — wards right in front of the buggies, | and you can imagine the rest. That was not all. The very same |morning the investigation was jopened by the open-hearth super- | intendent, locomotive shop. general foreman, transportation superin- tendent Dinhey, the yard master, | and the same old safety inspector, | J. J. Davis, who refused to build safety devices for the engineers when they are getting their coal. The first question was, “Where | was the switchman, what was he| doing; did he make a kick on the buggies?” You all know that kick- ing buggies and cutting off is a job for the stock foreman and not the | switchmen. | Fellow workers, why all these | questions to be put up to the switch- men? Well, you fellows know or ought to know that switchmen are only paid nowadays for three to five! days, and if they can put the blame on the switchman and get him laid off they will do it. Mr. Davis is paid $250 a month, which means | | Something to him, and if he can | | get the switchmen in bad he would not stop. Nothing more was reported on this case. Fellow workers, the only way to |stop accidents and speed-up is | through organization. Unless we do this, we couldn't do anything. Let's get shoulder to shoulder and start | things rolling our way, the workers’ way. | By a Worker Correspondent DANVILLE, Pa.—Although Con- stable “Bungy” Young, who was the prosecutor and only witness against the defendants, admitted that the crowd had “treated him nice and there was no_ disorder,” Harold Thomas and Hubert Buck were held for court, as a result of their ac- tivities in organizing the workers in defense of Buck's home against eviction. At least 28 workers who were pres- ent at the sale testified that there had been no disorder or violence. no threats or intimidations, and that the constable had not even at- tempted to carry through the sale, but had merely postponed it. The militancy of the workers forced Squire Hogelsby to reduce the bail from $1,000 each to $250 each. District Attorney Robbins, who owns plenty of houses, gave the whole show away when he asked Thomas, “If Constable Young drop- ped these charges against you would you leave town and go back to Wil- mington?” Thomas, who is the lead- er of the unemployed workers cf Danville, threw this petty bribe back into the teeth of the D. A. and shouted “No!” The workers in the court room cheered and stamped their feet at this display of courage of their leader, and many joined oe Unemployment Council after that. those that are of x jy Worker readers, letters received are carefully welcome and whenever possible for the improvement of the Worker. sed Daily |ON QUESTION OF VOTING COM- MUNIST, SEES LESSON IN GERMANY Brooklyn, N. Y. Dear Comrade Editor: This column printed a letter from comrade C, P. who asked the fol- lowing question: “Is it not playing into the hands of our enemies to tell us Communists to register ,Com- munist?” I am not a Pariy member, yet I enrolled Communist last year and this year. I voted six years for the Communist ticket and will vote Communist on this election day again, and what’s more I am not afraid. As to comrade C. P., there are people with the same thoughts in every country. In Germany too there were people who never voted or sup- ported the Communists for fear of |what might become of them if | Hitler came to power, and therefore | abstained in order to “save” them- selves. But what happened when Hitler did come to power? Were not countless thousands of people who never voted red murdered, or thrown into concentration camps? Were not thousands of Socialist workers who followed their non-resisting leaders treated alike? Were noi little Jewish business men who voted for Hindenburg and contributed money fo the Nazi party chest not for love, but just to be “safe” should fascism come to power, likewise murdered, thrown into con- centration camps, confiscated, exiled? In the fight to prevent fascism in this country the workers must enroll, vote and elect Communists to office. their property; Paper Forced to Drop Lies | On Unemployment Council The local press continued its vicious attack on the unemployed workers and tried to scare them |away from the Unemployment Council through a front-page article that the Unemployment Council was | a branch of the “Central Organ Communist Party.” A large delega- \tion of the Unemployment Council |marched down to the newspaper office and demanded that this state- | ment be corrected. Mr. Lowrie of the Morning News, sneered at the workers and said, “How would you like to go to hell?” The workers replied that instead of going to “Hell” they would go on the picket line in front of the office and boycott the paper unless a statement was printed giving the workers’ side. This fighting spirit of the work- ers forced the editor to change his tune quickly and he accepted a statement for publication to the effect that the Unemployment Council was made up of members of all political parties—Democrat, Communist, Republican and Social- ist, and that there was no discrim- ination whatsoever among them, Plans are being made by the Dan- ville Unemployment Council to cir- | culate a petition among the work- ers demanding that the city council | pass a law “declaring a moratorium jon evictions of unemployed work- ers aS well as exemption from taxes for small homeowners.” Letters from Our Readers “MAN OF ARAN” HAS REVOLU- TIONARY HISTORY New York, N. Y, Comrade Editor: I am in complete agreement with the review of “Man of Aran,” by David Platt, that from a technical standpoint the picture is most ex- cellent. But this criticism in itself was not sufficient. Robert Flaherty had the material and could have made the picture a most important social document by exposing Brit- ish imperialism which is chiefly responsible for the hardships and the primitive way of living of the people of Aran who were part of the Celtic clans driven from Ireland by a ruthless imperialism. When Cromwell and the British military invaded Ireland they found a people who lived a harmonious communal life. These people re- sented the invasion and fought bit- terly with true anti-imperialist hate but due to the superior civilization of the British imperialists with their instruments of death, Irish were defeated but not con- quered. Many of the clans rather than pay the land annuities and become slaves of an absentee land- lord class fled the land. Such a people were the clan of Aran who fled to the island rocks off the coast of Ireland. Here they had to return to a very primitive existence for livelihood.

In Clairton By a Worker Correspondent GLASSPORT, Pa. — Some 300/ workers from the Glassport and at the sight of the stunning new winter clothes in the shop win- dows? The luscious looking reds, browns and greens of the dresses, the lux- urious appearing warmth of the furred coats, the woolens, the tweeds, the slippers, the suits, the hats with their piquant feathers— all this is enough to make the mouth water. We are like children standing in front of a bakery win- dow longing for the forbidden frosted cake. The mother of the working-class family living on relief may look in those windows until the coats and dresses become blurred from teo much staring. The girls from fac- tory or office may stand for hours looking at the $15 and $25 dresses, the $47.50 coats.

Incidentally, Clairton is a steel corporation-controlled town, with a labor-hating mayor, and this is the first time the unemployed have suc- ceeded in actually marching on to the welfare station. Previously we were fotced to meet beyond the city limits.

There are , about” 300 sleeping on the bare ground at the Riverside rooming place and the Kokomo rooming place. It seems that no one can make money here except the preachers and the bootleggers. textile strikers in Paterson want these clothes. These are some of the things that women who fight to lower the cost of living have in their mind’s eye. A Comrade Helps To those who have a few dollars to spend on clothes now, Comrade Natalie sends some excellent prac- tical advice on the buying of clothes. She says, “The majority of girls either don't know how to sew or don’t have the opportunity. They have to go to the cheapest stores to buy their dresses, hats, lingeries, etc. Time and again a girl gets a dress which seems to look well on her in the store, and for a few days afterwards, and then it goes all wrong, and again her money has been thrown to the exploiting clothing manufacturers. “When a girl has only three or four doilars to spend on a dress, how can we get the best value for our money? Here are a few sug- gestions: “Never buy anything that has a ‘dated’ style, such as tricky sleeves, shoulders, or what-not, unless this can be very easily made plain later on. Buy something that is either very conservative in cut and can be changed by a few tricks such as collars, belts, etc., or buy something that is of a style so standardized that it is always in the mode, such as shirtwaist dresses, tailored skirts and blouses, etc. Never buy a dress with perishable trimmings unless you want to take them off and re- Place them. Collars and cuffs should be made of linen, pique, or other washable material. Chiffon flowers, rhinestones, and such are positively out. Many times, by tak- ing such a dress and stripping it of its unnecessary trimmings, you can achieve something quite good look- ing.
