I. Bosses in Move to Imprison Holders of Communist Literature By a Worker Correspondent BESSEMER, Ala.—The city coun- cil in Bessemer has passed a law forbidding possession of more than two pieces of Communist literature. The penalty under this iaw is $1 to $100 fine and/or six months in jat. The growth of Communism in Bessemer, the heart of U. S. Steel in the South, has been very rapid. The Communist Party has won the sympathy of both white and Negro wv ers by leading the fight against discrimination, wage cuts, lay-offs and terror of the T.C.I. and Repub- lic bosses. The unemployed who are being slashed off the relief are tak- ing up the fight for relief along the lines proposed by the Communist Party. This law was passed at the time the bosses are preparing big wage cuts in the steel industry and while the Roosevelt government is cut- ting relief as low as possible. The city council which is a tool in the hands of the T.C.I. is organizing the fight against the Communist Party to help the bosses put over their starvation program. The fakers in the Bessemer Trades Council back- ed this law because the Communists are exposing all their dirty work and keep them explaining their be- trayals to the masses. This law and all the other terror against the Party (bombing, and so on), has made the Party members!

I want to tell you the story of the first successful workers revolution, In 1917 the war was three years old. For the Russians, the war was a losing one, and brought great suffering to the workers and peas- ants. In March, 1917, their anger rises and in one mighty blow they throw out their Czar. For hun- dreds of years they have wanted to do this. Now it is done. But the well-to-do middle class people who are called “bourgeoisie,” still own the factories, the mills and the mines. They set up_a provisional government and promise the work- ers a great deal, but actually give them nothing. The bosses’ main idea is to win the war so as to get more wealth. Kerensky is their leader. He rides around in a big military car making grand speeches about saving Russia, and about carrying on the war to a glorious victory.

Lenin hurries back from exile in Switzerland to guide them. And so a great movement of the people rises and grows stronger. In factories and villages, the workers are already organizing their own Soviets, in the trenches the soldiers hear the cry too. They leave for home clutching their guns, Kerensky and the bourgeoisie are frightened. They declare the Bol- shevik Party illegal.

We saw the need of spreading the organi-) zation in order to win our demands, and since our local has nearly 1,100 members, majority unemployed, we |approached the local officers, and asked them to permit the U. C. organizer to speak. The local presi- dent, Chick Conteen, gave us a tentative promise that he will per- mit the organizer to speak. How- ever, when the organizer did come, Conteen went to call the district office of District No. 4 UM.W.A., and the secretary, C. C. Bonner, told Conteen not to permit the U. C. speaker to take the floor. This did not discourage us. We continued to recruit new members. We continued to take up cases of the members of the local, and kept on winning case after case. Through the U. C. we gained an increase in relief of 50c a week for the single men, and some families got an in- crease of $4.25 a week, or from $6.00 a week to $10.25 a week. The de- liveries of clothes increased. We kept harping and demanding | that our local give the U. C. or- ganizer an opportunity to present the U. C. program.

The enemies of the new workers’ government gather their forces, and with the help of the bosses of other lands, begin the civil war which lays the whole of Russia in ruins. But in the end, famine and disease are conquered by the great courage of the workers and peasants, They build their country anew. They sing at their work. They are happy in the knowledge that the land and factories belong to them. The first Five Year Plan for building the country is finished with great enthusiasm. In 1924 Comrade Lenin, the beloved, died. But the Bolshevik Party still leads the way. Stalin faithfully follows the way that Lenin has shown and carries on his work. Now the So- viet Union, carrying out its second Five Year Plan, is the only country in the world with real planning. There can be no unemployment. There everything the workers pro- duce is for themselves. The Soviet Union has become the hate of alt capitalists and the guid- ing red star of all the workers of the world.

You also say that your menstruation is normal As long as you have no symptoms (no complaints) you need do noth- ing about the cyst. Very often these cysts remain the same size and never give any trouble. Some- times there may be an acute attack of pain in the lower abdomen and vomiting. This may indicate that the cyst has twisted on itself. An operation should be performed for removing it as soon as the diag- nosis is made. Operation should be performed under the following | conditions: If the menstrual flow becomes | profuse, or if the cyst becomes large (as revealed by examination); if the | woman decides to have a child, it | is usually advisable to have the cyst | removed before she becomes preg- nant. Even though you have no complaints, it is important that you be examined about twice a year to| see if the cyst. has become larger. You also ask whether you should be sterilized, We do not advise a/| healthy woman to be sterilized un- less she has as many children as she desires and unless both she and her husband have thought the mat- | ter over carefully.

She grew up on New York's East Side, and her early memories include the talk of her father and mother returning from trade union meetings. Strike! Wages! Hours! Union agreements! She heard these words and consid- ered them. In 1914 and 1916, a murderous terror was directed against the coal and iron strikers in Colorado and Arizona by the Rockefeller inter- ests. Women and children were burned to death in a tent colony at Ludlow. Rebecca Grecht began to read books and pamphlets to learn what it was turned the wheels of such a society. When the Russian Revolution became a reality part of the Social- ist Party denounced the new work- ers’ state. Rebecca knew that she was with that other group that took a position for the Soviet Unien. When that group became the Communist Party, Rebecca Grecht knew she was a Communist. She joined the Party in 1921 and within two weeks was organizer of her unit. Her activity steadily in- creased, until there was no other thing more important in her life than to help build the Party that would organize the workers to establish a new world. She was elected to the New York District Committee of the Communist Party, and became secretary of the New York Workers’ School the first year of i's existence. While working in a millinery shop she was elected to the executive board of Local 43 of the Millinery Union. +e oe OM that time on she has par- ticipated in and led strike and other working-class struggles of the workers all over the country. She has worked among miners, s eel workers, textile workers, shoe work- ers, bringing into action with them the line of the Communist Party, to guide and strengthen their strug- gles. She went to Chicago to raise money for the textile strikers in Passaic in 1926. and rallied the local unions of the A. F. of L. to aid the strikers. She went to Pittsburgh in 1928, where for six months she worked among the miners in the left wing “Save the Union” moye- ment, which drew around it masses of miners, angry with the rotten leadership of the United Mine Workers. Several times she was election campaign manager in New York and herself ran on the Com- munist ticket. She was a leading Party functionary in the Minne- sota area, where among other struggles of the workers of Minne- sota to defend their standard of living she was active in a dock workers’ strike in Superior. In 1931 and 1932, she was in Pittsburgh, working among the coal and steel workers, a leading Party ‘igure. After that and until recently she was District Organizer of the Com- munist Party in New Jersey at a time when the workers throughout New Jersey were engaging in mass struggles, in South River, in Tren- WORKERS’ HEALTH Conducted by the Daily Worker Medical Advisory Board necessary, the tubes will be tied off in the course of the operation, and sterility will result, solving the problem in this way. a Refitting Glasses V. S. writes: — “Please give me some information regarding my eyes. I have already had three dif- ferent kinds of glasses. The doctor tells me I have astigmatism of both eyes. Is there any other way to cure this without glasses? I also have high blood pressure.” oar ie Our Reply The only advice one could give would be entirely dependent upon facts which can only be determined by examination. If, as you say, you have astigmatism, there is no other way of helping your eyes except with glasses. The fact that you are not satisfied with the glasses you have only indicates that they are not the proper glasses. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a little time after getting new glasses, to get properly adjusted to them. You mention your high blood pressure. You should see a good eye doctor (oculist) who can look into the inside of the eye with the proper instruments and determine if the high blood pressure is affect- ing your vision.
