Employment Agent Heads Welfare and Uses Position to Supply Scabs By a Worker Correspondent BESSEMER, Ala.— The Muscoda ore mine in Bessemer, Alabama, which is owned by the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co., (U. S. Steel sub- sidiary), ine in the rict The are very : have just ing a good fight company union. The c 21¢ International Union of Mine Mill and Smelter Workers (A. F. of L.) has a weekly attendance of at least 500 members. | The Communist Party and Young Communist League are making great headway among these miners. This may be seen from the follow- port of a young Negro Mu iner, af a meeting of the Y. before the vote on the com- anion last wii some of the company Officials ere trying to find those miners who had a great deal of influence among the work- ers and get them to help swing the vote in favor of the company union. | One of the men they picked, who is now a Communist, was very popular among the other workers. They even offered to pay him. “T} wasn’t even connected with the Y.| C. L. at that time,” he told us, “but | I just knew the right principle.” A few days before the election, the officials renewed their drive to gain votes for the company union. They invited the workers up to get sacks of coal free. “I'll do you a favor today — you do me one to- morrow and vote for the company union,” they told the workers. “We all went up for coal because we knew we wouldn't get any more, for | we knew we weren't going to vote for the company union. But we just listened to them talk, and didn’t say anything.” Jack Brown, the sheriff, was one of the most active in the campaign | for votes. He helped the company tell the workers what a wonderful | outfit they were for giving the men} coal. “You find any other company | that'll give you coal like this and|join the Y. C. L., and what he| TH give you five dollars,” he told | them. “Now you know we are for you. And I know you won't let nobody fool you.” The workers an- | swered, “No sir! We won't let| nobody fool us!” When voting time came all the|¥. C L. anr the Party don’t stand | Officials were nervous but tried to| put on a sure front. None of the | |in the local. salaried men were supposed to vote, but before it was over, the company called them all out to vote, because they were getting desperate The ballots were fixed so that no matter how you marked your vote, for or against the company union it registered for it. But even with that, only 125 men out of the 900 ‘orkers voted for the company inion. Then the company got out the report that 87 per cent of the workers voted for it, but that was not true. All this was just before the big strike in the ore mine in May and June. All of the workers wanted a raise in wages, but a few of them not bad enough to strike for it After the sell-out of the strike, the relief has been trying to starve us oui he said “Some of those who were elief have been cut | off because their wives are making $2 and $2.50 a week doing wash- ing and house work. Just last week a man with a family of seven was cut off the relief because his wife makes $2 a week. The case worker goes around to the people who hire these women and tells them to pay the workers as little as possible. They also have stool pigeons who carry information to the company. “The relief operates through the company. The head lady, Mrs. A. D. Mallett, is the wife of the em- ployment agent for the T. C. I, and she takes dictation from her husband. He hires men to scab. |The relief orders are very small Meal is not even included, and one order has to last for two weeks. Young single workers are given al- most nothing—say, two loaves of | bread, a small bag of potatoes, and a can or two of something, for two wee! When questioned about the A. F. L. local, and the mines he told us that there are about 900 members Negroes attend very well even though they are jim- crowed in the local, although there are both white and Negro on the executive board. We asked him how he came to thinks about the movement. He replied: “Well, I just figured it out this way. An old man is just about what he’s gonna be—a young man has a good chance to be what he’s | not. He can advance. Well, the still. They advance with the rank and file workers. oudeed dn d Detroit Weak Against Each Other Last week, District 6, Clevela: , and District 7, Detroit, in Socialist competition in the $60,000 drive, gained only 3 per cent’each.

Blue Eagle ‘Hides Hour Cheating By a Worker Correspondent CHICAGO, Ill—The Goldblatt Bros. Dept. Stores recently had their Blue Eagle taken away and |had to pay $10,000 in fines before it was returned. It seems some of their equally “honorable” competit- }ors (including Marshall Field) in: formed on them. The charges wer |price cutting, working employes over code hours, and not paying code wages—with the emphasis on \the first charge. Certainly the lat- ter two offenses still continue to be practiced by the inordinately wealthy Goldblatts, whose stores are the worst sort of sweatshops to |be found anywhere. | Workers are still laid off and not | replaced; those remaining are speeded up still more. The air and hygeinic conditions in the stores |are terrible. The toilets, for both customers and employees, are in- | describably filthy. The company re- |fuses to make available to workers men and women, dressing rooms for their convenience. After the Blue Buzzard was re- stored, the bosses were careful for a short time, but now they are pull- jing the same old stuff. We don’t punch the clock in the morning till 9, but must be in at 830. We are required to punch out at 5.30—but work afterwards till 6.00 and later. In the Grocery Dept., the girls are told to punch out and then come |back to work, sometimes for 2 hours | without pay. Workers in the Food | Department are forced to work 60 | hours, instead of the code 48 hours | -the extra hours without pay. | We publish every Saturday | letters from coal and ore miners, | and oil workers. We urge miners | and oil workers to write us of | their conditions and their ef- | forts to organize. Please get these | to us by Wednesday of each week. | A Worker Tells A Story There was going to be the de- |dication of a new statue down on the “Common,” on Armistice | day, so I decide to go along. I'm glad to get out of the house; makes me jumpy to sit around, doing nothing, with the wife looking so tired and worried. And it’s nice and sunny outdoors, the air soft and warm and springlike. I look around for my kid, but he’s no where in sight. I walk down the streets with the grey-shingled houses, down Caton Ave. and on |to Main St. A ways up is the fire house and our City Hall. | Across the street is the Square, with the cannon in front and the little pile of cannon balls that was put there after the Civil War. You should see the way they fixed up the place now. It’s looked pretty | bad for years. Of course, the trees was always nice and tall, but the fountain was all broke up and the benches rickety. Then the mayor got hold of those P. W. A. funds and he and the Chamber of Com- merce decided to fix up the Square. ‘They made gardens and new gravel paths and put shiny rubbish cans all around. Yeah, because it’s in the best part of town where all the swell houses are. Well, there's quite a standing on the Common. There’s the brass-hatted American Legion band and the police captain. Up on a special built grand-stand. all crowd | draped with red, white and blue, By a Mine Worker Correspondent) SHENANDOAH, . Pa.—Here is a | little patch called Beaver Township | | where about 1.000 human beings} | live conditions became so intoler- able that the farmers who live here were forced to go into the nearby} mines to gain a means of existence. When they worked for a period of two weeks, the coal company re-| fused to pay them their wages. saying they did not have sufficient funds on hand and furthermore | asked the men to work two more | weeks and then they will be paid. |Some men quit, others worked. After working the other two weeks the mines were closed down and the miners did not get a penny for} | their labor, | Seeing that there was no other way out of these existing miseries, | the workers began to bootleg coal and sell it in the nearby cities. The coal company together with the township politicians imported gun{ | thugs to stop the miners from tak-| | ing their coal. The result was that | after the miners put up a militant | fight 39 miners were arrested and put into jail and held for court. | The company then turns around | and offers the arrested workers the | following proposition. “That since Operators Swindle, Then Jail Miners » |Company Uses Prison Threat in Attempt to Get Away With Paying Month’s Back Wages we the operators owe you one month’s salary we are willing to; drop all charges in court against} you, providing you sign a document releasing us of that money owed you, and that we collect $4 off of every ton of bootleg coal you at present produce.” | The miners here only get $5.50} for bootleg coal. The coal com- pany after owing the workers a month’s salary has them arrested} and offers them a proposition that | is even worse than the yellow dog) contract. The miners in Beaver Township refused this rotten proposition and | their case comes up in court in} December. The workers here because of the| existing misery one day decided to| organize, and went to sec what | kind of an crganization was the Unemployed Council functioning | near here, in Shenandoah, Frack-| ville, Pottsville, etc. After hearing organizers of the councils speak, they decided to ask questions con- cerning the organization. As a result today in Beaver Township more than 50 workers joined the council and a commit- tee was elected immediately to take up cases, UMWA Officials Help _ To Break Agreement By a Mine Worker Correspondent BOOTH, W. Va.—The Riverseam |mine is still working under the N. R, A. code and under the supervi- sion of the U. M. W. of A. According to the agreement we should work seven hours. At the coal face or your working place, we are working nine and ten hours a |day. The night shift goes into the mine at 4:30 p. m.

The president of our local is one who was part of the Lewis machine in 1922. He was financial secretary of Sub-District 3. The rest of the committee during the last strike here were opposed |to the U. M. W. of A. and openly backed the company union. One foreign worker here was working on a section in which there | Was a slow turn. Some of the work- }ers were pushing their loads out and changing on themselves, load- | ing two and three cars on each trip. This foreign worker refused to push | ears. He asked the face boss for |an equal turn. The boss told him |to do the same as the rest of the men who were getting more cars or |shut up. This worker went directly le the mine committee and put his grievance to them. He asked them the question, is the N.R.A. supposed }to make mules out of us workers? |The reply of the committee was: | “If you don’t like this country, go | back to the old country where you | belong.” The officials of our local were jelected last election through force and intimidation.

There's a loud crash and the band begins to play, “The Star Spangled Banner.” The policemen salute. Everyone puts his hand with his hat, across his chest. They look very sad and very solemn. And I’m doing lots of thinking. Here's this rich widow giving this statue to the town. I suppose she and the other big shots are worry- ing that workers aren't so patriotic any more and want to pep them up for another war. I suppose she thinks it’s a shame there’s no real monument, only the tablet with the names of the soldiers that were killed. It was just by a narrow squeak that my own name isn’t on that list.

The workers here have the greatest opportunity of expos- ing these crooks by the following methods: 1) Mobilization of the workers to fight for payment of all dead work. No discrimination against the for- eign born. 2) Force the mine committee to present these demands or have them removed immediately. 3) Militant workers must expose the link between the local leader- ship and the top leadership. 4) To fight for the Workers’ Social and Unemployment Insurance Bill H.R. 7598.

On Oc- tober 3ist, cight Fayette County deputies appeared in Alicia No, 1 patch, of the Monessen Coal and Coke, to evict some of the miners. The first to be evicted was the Mullen family, ene member of which, Joe, is the president of Lecal Union 63¢8 U. M. W. A. The deputies carried some of the furniture into a truck that was brought along. But they did not get very far. Practically the entire patch gathered and took the fur- niture back and carried it into the house. The deputies threatened to tear gas the men and women, but the threat did not carry any weight. I believe that this is the first time in history of the Coke Region, that the miners prevented an eviction from a company patch, The Alicia miners, not satisfied with this one victory, went on the following day to Jim Gerry, the super at the Alicia No, 1 plant. Practically every miner and his wife were part of the “delegation.” Mr. Gerry made excuses that it was not his fault, that the company was selling these houses, etc. The funny part about this was that there are 52 empty houses, and the company supposedly sold only the houses in which union families were living. Finally Gerry made a promise that the Monessen Coal and Coke will sell first the 52 empty houses, and in. the mean- time no eviction will take place. This mine is now closed down, and has been closed about three months, It was closed by a picket line when Gerry refused to divide the work. Since then, Gerry has been doing everything in his power to have the local leaders evicted. It may be said in passing that practically all the miners in the patch belonging to the Unemployed Councils.

The cloth comes down, uncovering a bronze soldier, charging. The crowd gasped with admiration. But, look, what’s that hanging from the gun? The mayor's eyes pop open. The big lady’s smile fades.

GETTING WEIGHT | IOMRADE S. W. of Brooklyn, writes:—“Compared. to real ail-| ments my case must seem very in- consequential. I am about five feet How- ever, I am built very much out of proportion having large thighs and hips. I find it very hard to diet, but even when I am_ successful, I get too thin in my face, arms and} neck, Recently I heard that obesity of this sort is due to improper gland- ular functioning, and that it can be cured by injections. Will you please let me know if this is so and whether the treatments are expen- sive. While I am in fairly good health, this condition has given me such an inferior feeling that if it could be cured, I know it ‘would be as if I had recovered srom a terrible illness.” RID OF EXCESS ! Diet Is Essential BESITY of the type you describe is probably due more to a dis- proportionately built body than to any faulty working of certain glands, although, it is hard to be sure about this without a direct examination. There is no sound medical basis for treating obesity with injections. ‘They are a source of revenue to the doctor since they must be given in his office. Unscrupulous doctors, therefore, insist on injections much more often than is necessary. As- suming that you are a woman of 25 years, your weight should be between 122-134 pounds. Exercise sometimes help to reduce inactive parts of the body, but diet is es- sential. A diet of 1,200 calories will reduce you slowly and avoid as much as possible the excessive leanness of your face and neck. A fairly good diet may be had by writing to the Department of Health. * * * * Lecture Dr. Frankwood E.

IERE is the story of a South- ern woman who found the Daily Worker on the floor of her home, where it had fallen from her husband’s pocket. She'd read a bit now and then, and think it over as she went about her work, She read it slowly and thoughtfully. One night as her husband was abont to leave the house, she put on her coat. . “Where you goin’?” he asked her. “With you.” she said. “Oh no, you can’t do that” he said sternly. “Where I'm goin’ there’s no women allowed!” * UT she followed along as he went out the door. “Oh yes I am. I'm goin’ with you. You're goin’ to. those Communists.” "If I am, you can’t come with me. No women allowed.” “Yes I am. There are women allowed, too. I read it in that Daily Worker!” “You read what! now!” But the Southern woman did not go home. The quicker he walked, the quicker she walked. They ar- rived at a little shack a mile out of town. There was a meeting there sure enough. They were all men, The man was embarrassed as the woman slid in alongside him, The other men looked startled too, but the man at the table got up and said, “Hello, Jim. Glad you brought your wife!” eer * * Go on home * A Leader Named Lenin IEN the organizer of the Com- munist Party unit (it was the Communists) spoke. He spoke of building the Communist Party. He said that a great leader named Lenin said there can be no real mass movement without women. The women must be won for the struggles and in particular for the Communist transformation of society, This party unit must draw in women. The Southern woman got up. “That’s what I told my husband. He didn’t tell me to come tonight. But I knew it was my place to come!” The unit organizer urged her to join the Communist Party. “No,” the Southern woman said “not yet, I’ve got to study it over a little first.” Then the other men, and her husband asked her to join. But the Southern woman went on back to her own little shtck and studied it over. In two weeks she went back with her husband, no longer protesting—and joined the Communist Party! ee Our “Daily” Must Grow That Daily Worker of ours must reach many, many more of these women.

A simple method of treatment is to apply calamine lotion several times a day. On drying, a pinkish powder remains. Do not rub off the lotion, when re-applying. Pate air Whooping Cough Vaccine . G. A., Newark, N. J.:—The value of whooping cough vaccine has not been definitely settled. How- ever, most authorities believe that the vaccine in cases exposed to ng cough may be of decided it and especially in young nildren (under three years of age) may often entirely the disease. It is advisable to expose the patient to cold fresh air, avoiding, however, other children, so as not to infect them. Sedatives will lessen the frequency of the whoop- ing and vomiting, and certain drugs, prescribed by a physician, often give a great deal of relief, Care must be taken to insure the child’s nourishment, and after vomiting the child must be relieved, IS IT TRUE?
