Wages range from ten to fifteen dollars a month for working hours of twelve | and fourteen hours a day. The farmers take advantage of the work- ers’ dire needs, and force their help to accept farm products instead of | money for wages.

Y. Dear Comrade Editor: I am now in a position to send the full amoun{ of the money col- lected in this store and wish to heave it put under the quota of Michael Gold. I expected to get more, but many workers have to figure with every penny that they make. Some workers said that the collection came too soon after the strike and they are not able to con- tribute right now. To those I ap- pealed that they may still, outside of this collection, send money to the Daily Worker if they should be able f0 do so by the first of December. Many of the workers have learned the significance of the Daily Worker during the strike struggle. I be- | lieve what we need is more and | more strikes. A strike ts the best educator in the class struggle. Meny workers today still look upon the bosses as their benefactors |and think they should be grateful jfor a job. Yet there will come a itime when through their own eyes | they will finally see themselves as | victims of an exploiting society. Then they will throw away their shackles and join with the workers’ Soviets. Now that our fight for the recog- nition of our union and better con- ditions is won, in which the work- jers have displayed their power against the bosses’ power; now that the bosses have been forced to ac- cspt our union, that does not mean | that the battle is settled; on the | contrary. the fight for better condi- tions, more pay and less hours is go- | ing on, and the bosses’ fight to split and disrupt our union is also going on. Only the solidarity of the workers, the united action and com- | Plete cconeration of the workers as ene solid body, can bring about. complete success.

I am only a few months returned from the Soviet Union where I lived for fourteen months. During | that time, I worked a seven hour day in my factory, attended the Evening University, taught English and had energy and time to make excursions to the country, to the theaters, museums and a glorious vacation in the Soviet workers’ playground, the Crimea. Back in the land of capitalism and exploitation, after an eight or nine hour day, I am so fatigued that I find it almost impossible to live a normal life, even if I could afford to. While in my factory in Moscow, I had become so accustomed to in- dependence, that I am surprised to find myself working faster when my boss i3 near. My comrades in Moscow's bread factory number five, where I worked as an elec- trical apprentice, will never know the sting of a boss’s whip. I am a University trained eco- nomist, but under this damnable system of capitalism, dectors must drive taxicabs, architects pound the pavements and economists work as shipping clerks. In the Soviet Union, my young comrades who study at the Univer- sity know full well that when they complete their courses, there will be work for them in their respective fields. I went to the Soviet Union not. as a Communist Party member, nor as an invited specialist. but as a regular tourist. Due to the language difficulty, I could not work in my field, so I became an_ electrical worker in a large Moscow bread fac- tory. I mention this because so many people have mentioned to me that since foreign workers get special privileges, naturally I would be enthusiastic about that country. But I received no special privilege, and in fact I was one of the low- est paid workers in my factory, due to my lack of training. Yet in spite of that, I lived a healthier, fuller and more secure life there than T am living now. “Then why did vou come back to the United States?” My audience usually asks. And I always answer, “Because I am an American, and after seeing the Soviet system at work in Russia, Tam convinced that a Sovict Amer- ica will be paradise. end I went to help to bring it avout.” Incidentally. it was the Daily Worker and the New Masses that Tuced to read in the Moscow Fovcien Workers’ Club, that told me of the oping revolutionary mood of This mote tien anvtsine els+ eae, me realize the nese of returning to) the Staion, ao thet I could take part | in the struggle “for a Soviet Amer- | isa. u a. Minnesota Workers and Farmers in United Relief Action | ‘Jail T Threat for Trying To Organize CCC Boys By a Worker Correspondent ESCANABA, Mich.—I am an ex-C.C.C. boy, having been re- leased from the forced camps. A comrade and I were threat- ened 5 and 15 years in Leaven- worth, Kan., for fighting for our rights, Colonel Wood of Fort Sheridan said we were creating a revolutionary spirit among the boys. We were only telling the boys to stick together. After the hearing, I was placed on 6 months parole. In 4 months and 17 days Com- pany 646 was acked to sign over. The excuse for this was that win- ter was almost here, If you don’t think you could take it, you were supposed to go home. But, the fact is that there was a strong unity amonest us. More than 50 per cent of the fellows turned down the offer to be slaves for another six months. Communists Poll Vote Despite Terror By An Agricultural Worker Correspondent CENTRAL POINT, Ore.—Despite the reign of terror conducted in Jackson County, which resulted in the frame up against Comrade Cluster, organizer of the Cannery and Agricultural Workers Indus- trial Union, on charges of non-sup- port of two children; and the arrest of two other comrades on Criminal Syndicalism, and the formation of @ local Vigilance Committee of 200, the Communist Party polled 25 votes in the last elections. Another sign of which way the wind is blowing is the fact that the capital out of deputizing the 200 | Vigilantes, got a back-fire and was badly defeated. For Governor, Peter Zimmerman, | who was an independent candidate and ran on the platform of state development of power sites, a state bank and against the Criminal Syn- dicalism Law, ran second here in Jackson County as well as all over | the state. Gen. Martin, who was elected, was supported by the New Deal- Love- | Roosevelt Power Co, Bunk Sheet, a Republican paper which often points out that the reason for their support of Roosevelt is that he is trying to save the capitalist system. Most of the workers around here are employed in the orchards, can- neries and the fruit, packing houses. Many workers only have this short seasonal work to depend on for a, livelihood. Thirty to forty days is about the average time the pickers get in. The | pay is from 20 cents to 27% cents an hour for a 9 hour day. Even when several members of the family work through the season it is hard sledding through the year. Here as elsewhere it is hard to get on relief, where there are plenty of well paid officials to tell applicants after a hard, humiliating grilling, that there is no relief in sight at present due to shortage of funds. Shoe Lockout Threatened To Cut Wages By a Shoe Worker Correspondent BOSTON, Mass.—The Boston shoe manufacturers are attempting to starve the workers into accepting wage cuts. Although the season is drawing closer, more shops close down. Many firms threaten to liquidate or move to unorganized centers, unless the workers accept wage cuts. Five big shops have al- ready gone out of Boston. The officials of the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union are passing the buck from the District Council to the general officials, and back again. Though McKassey and other union officials do speak pub- licly against wage cuts, they do not take steps to mobilize the work- ers to struggle against remoyals of shops, for unemployment insur- ance and for an energetic campaign to organize the unorganized shoe centers. The shoe workers are losing what- ever confidence they had in the lead- ership of the union, The danger is that many workers do not see any solution in the present situation. Some are even favoring wage re- ductions, oniy because the union of- ficials continuously follow a policy of passivity and the mass of shoe workers can only see the industry moving away from Boston and othe: organized shoe centers. The militant rank and file and the Communists are the only ones that show the way out of this situa- tion. They propose to mobilize the shoe workers for struggle against wage cuts, for general strike throughout the shoe industry, for the establishment of a uniform wage based on an hourly rate for skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers end above all for unemployment in- surance to be paid for by the Gov- ernment and the besses.

I.—You that you have two children, 244 years and 8 weeks respectively; that your doctor has just told you that your womb is very “low,” for which he inserted a ring to hold it up; you also state that your doctor advised an operation to cure this condition. You do not state your state age, nor do you mention. whether | you have any compli. ints, From your letter it is difficult to| determine whether your condition is one of a turned womb (retrover- sion), or one in which the chief supports of the womb have been) | loosened (prolapse). After giving | birth, a woman's womb may be turned. This is one of the rea- sons why it is so important that aj woman should have adequate post- pertum (care after child-birth). The early recognition of a turned womb, its correction by the doctor, followed by the insertion of a ring in the femal canal and special ex- ercises and douches by the woman —-such steps will often save the woman from an operation later on. These cases which do not respond to such treatment may need an operation. The mere finding of a turned wouik is not in itself a reason for cperation, Many women go along all their lives with turned wombs and are never disturbed by this condition. If there are no asso- ciated complaints—such as, back- ache, a dragging sensation inter- nally, bladder trouble, discharge, or irregularity in the monthly flow— there is no need for operation or any other treatment, If, however, these complaints are present (and are not due to other causes), the doctor should try to treat them medically. If medical treatment fails to relieve the patient, or only relieves her temporarily, then she should have an operation to cor- | rect the position of the womb, The age of the woman is also an im- portant consideration. Many doc- | tors feel that such an operation should not be performed until the woman has given birth to as many children as bot she and her hus- band desire, IN THE HOME By ANN 1 The treatment of prolapse of the womb — a loosening of the main | supports of the womb which in | time, if untreated, may project oute | side of the female canal—differs from that of the turned womb. If the condition has been noticed | 800n after child-birth, it can somee | times be corregted by complete rest |in bed for three or four weeks, at | the same time taking measures to | build up the general tone of the muscles. In older women, who | have as many children as they dee sire, it is best to operation as soon | as the diagnosis has been made— at the same time the tmbes should be tied off to prevent further | pregnancies, | to sterilize a woman does not caus | painful menstruation.

These operations when done by competent surgeons in good hospitals are usually not serious.

Y., has written us to describe the report of one of the Negro woman del- egates, a Mrs. Flauntleroy, as she gave that report to the Bronx sec- tion of the Women’s Council after her return from Albany. Mrs. Klein says “Mrs. Fauntleroy shows a re-' markable character. We must reach othrs like her.” This is Mrs. Klein's description of the report. The first words of Comrade Fauntleroy, after she was intro- duced, were, “Comrades, I'd like you to sing the chorus of ‘Soli- darity Forever.’ She sang the solo, a little falteringly, because she was greatly touched. The comrades were surprised, and did not respond quickly, but soon more and more voices chimed in. She begged us to sing the chorus once more, And then she beautifully pointed out that this was the song sung by the marchers during their ex- periences with the law, cold, and hunger. Her opening words were in the form of a question, “Yes, why did we march to Albany? Because we need winter relief now, and to de- mand Unemployment Insurance.
