DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, DECEMBER 1994 Ellis Island Prisoners Score Slander of Boss Press Bare Mistreatment And Total Isolation From Other Prisoners Political Prisoners Urge Struggle Against Their Deportation By a Worker Correspondent | ELLIS ISLAND, N. Y. — A short) time ago, a mouthpiece of Wall Street came out with an article given out by some official of Ellis Island. In that article a slanderous attack was made upon five political prisoners who are now held for de- portation. We were referred to as Anarchists, etc. If those responsible for the ar- ticle would se there, we would not mind for we know that the workers have learned how to read the reports of the servants of the bosses, but when discrimination against political prisoners is carried on inside of Ellis Island then it is our duty to fight it and fully ex- pose it. If the wardens of Ellis Island ac- tually believe we are Anarchists, why do they deprive us of the right to talk, walk, and meet with the other prisoners?

To a polite | inquiry as to whether this was all | to be expected for Thanksgiving | |for five Americans to give thanks | | with, the government inspector snapped back with: “d’ye think the | guv’nment is hand’n ye out a toiky.” | On reaching home I opened the government's present and muna the two cans of beef covered white with mould and the odor that of | putrefaction; three of the five | pounds of potatoes were rotten and | Pay of Relief Workers Cut unfit for human or beast. That left our family of five with two pounds | of edible potatoes with which to | sit down; celebrate and thank our | glorious country for this blessing it had bestowed upon us. I showed this unsavory gift to my boy of 15, without passing the least remark to him. I believe that the lad’s own conclusions are note- worthy to our government brain- trusters and might serve as true American Thanksgiving food to the foggy brains of our nation’s leaders at Washington. “Dad—that’s a shame. The trick is as rotten as their meat. We'd be better off in jail. Never mind, Dad—I won't forget it. Believe me or not I'll never again hang out or carry or salute another American flag just for that.” And that from an American boy of 15. Will you cease wondering why radicals and ‘nalcontents exist; will you understand how Commu- nists are born and made; how anti- government propaganda gets its start and why the cry of revolt for liberty and decency rises louder and louder to heaven. Bares Reason For Survival What Is Ovulation? |G. P., Coadale, Pa.; Once a month beginning at puberty (the be- ginning of reproductive life) and stopping at the menopause (change of life) a process called ovulation takes place in every healthy female. |Ovulation is the casting off of a ripe egg or ovum from the female | |sex gland called the ovary. Only jone egg is produced each month. |When the mature egg leaves the ovary it enters the tube. Sexual intercourse has nothing to do with ovulation. According to Ogino and |Knaus, in women with a regular }menstrual cycle ovulation takes \place on the fourteenth day after \the onset of menstruation. Since jthe egg does not live very long, they jconsider that fertilization or union jof the egg with the male sex cell must take place from the eleventh to the seventeenth day of the men- |strual cycle, | The male cell or sperm is much |smaller than the egg and much more active.

Meetings should begin on time and move right along. A man’s attentive capacity wears out after an hour and a half or two. I suggest this as a starter: let every meeting begin promptly on the hour scheduled. After the first time the comrades will be in their seats on time. Meetings like this will draw people in.

Dear Comrade Editor: | | The general sentiment in labor and radical circles is that the Com- munist Party received quite a raw | deal at the hands of all other papers | in the last elections except for its own Daily Worker. Of course, not much more could be expected from the cowardly yellow press. Still, with such an understanding on the part of a large number of people, as a working basis, we can organize a mass boycott of the capitalist news- papers. If it is absolutely necessary that workers buy capitalist papers, for want ads and the like, they | would pick them up, or borrow them, |BUT NOT SUPPORT THEIR | MOST VILE ENEMIES. This will serve two purposes. The “Daily” is now a first class journal, and can be relied upon for “all-the news that’s fit to print for people who think.” “Boycott the yellow press and build the Daily Worker,” must be our slogan, B.

Rackets Rife On Jobs Under City Contract By A Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—We, a’ group of |workers in the Eighth Ave subway new-stands, would like to present to \the readers of the Daily Worker ‘some facts concerning the legal racket that is going on now in these stands, The subways belong to the city jbut the stands belong to the Inter- borough News Co., which exploits | its employees in a horrible fashion. ‘To begin with, before one can get ;employment at one of the stands one must give $75 bond for which {he gets no interest Several weeks after paying the money, he gets a night job. If he works satisfactorily at that for some |time he becomes a “manager” and ‘gets day work. In either case he | gets 28 cents an hour. He works six days a week, nine hours a day. | The manager is supposed to get a |$2 bonus every week because of the lextra work and additional respon- |sibility, but-he hardly ever gets it. \If an inspector should find that a |magazine on display is not tipped iat the right angle, his bonus is for- | feited. | This manager is responsible for |the stand, and any time anything jis missing he has to pay for it out \of his own wages or bond. This is |not a mere possibility or a rare oc- ‘currence. We know people who |have lost $30, $50, and in one case, ‘$90 in a month. This is due to the |fact that the company does not care to apprehend the robbers as it loses ‘nothing no matter what happens. | This is not all. Before the job is given, the applicant is asked if he jwishes to waive his right to a 15- ‘minute lunch period, which is re- quired by law. The boss makes it |known that the worker is “free” to jchoose, but the company “prefers” jhis waiving the right. Those people who work Sundays, | |work 11 hours with no time off ite ‘inch or to attend to human needs. After working several months there, indigestion and uri- | nary troubles are common. Several |weeks ago an inspector from the State Labor Department came| around to “find out” what's what. | |He was given the facts, but of) ‘course, did nothing about it. This is | ithe kind of company to which La | Guardia handed over the city) ‘stands.

But here is the rub, how they sur- vived: The Building & Loan Ass'n of South Bend, Ind., for instance, survived at the expense of their vic- tims.

Many victims, who were unable | during this period, to draw even @ penny in four years are now forced to sell their shares to money sharks and speculators with a loss of 50 per ceht, which means in reality a loss of 75 per cent, since the in- fiation of the dollar. This is how the big mortgage group survived the crisis. Forced Labor For Homeless In Elizabeth By a Worker Correspondent ELIZABETH, N. J.—At the city relief station here, conditions are pretty bad. First you have to go through the transient bureau, where they take down the whole history of your life. After this is done, they send you over to the shelters, Then they make you fill out an- other application, and then they give you a meal ticket. Bread and soup and a cup of coffee, with no milk in it, and the bread is about 2 days old—that’s all we get. They make you work in the morning in the woodpile, a total of 24 hours a week. They fumigate your clothes at night. Now, if we got wages for the work we do, we would have say, at Jeast eight to ten dollars a week, while they give us in return only this rotten food and very bad lodgings. ‘They give you a cot, with only one sheet, and no mattress, and one army blanket. They get you up at 5:30 in the morning, and you get the same old stuff in the morning for breakfast. Lunch is at noon, and they make you work an hour or two in the afternoon. We must be in bed by eight o'clock at night. This is how the City of Elizabeth takes care of its homeless men, Forced labor, with wretched lodg- ings and food as the only return. Conditions are the same in New- ark, at the Good Will Mission, TUNE IN!

But he does not think that women can do anything to- wards the workers’ movement, and tells me that a husband has a per- fect right to dictate to his own wife, “I wanted to show him that I can do just as much, so I joined the Womens Council against his will. When I came home from the first meeting, he threw a shoe at me. I did not say a word. The next day he tried to reason with me, telling me that I have two small children, I must wait until they grow up first. When I wanted to go to the next meeting, he tried to stop me. I slid out of the house when he was not looking. “Of course he gave me an argu- ment when I came home, but one person cannot argue. I did not an- swer. The third time, he tried to leave before I could, and leave me with the children. So I told him “When you come home, you will find the children alone.” I put the chil- dren to sleep, and asked my next door neighbor to keep an eye on them, I headed towards the meet- ing. When I came downstairs, I saw my husband standing across the street, waiting to see if I would carry out my word, “Since then he is tired of fighting with me. He knows that on Wed- nesday night, his place is home. ‘Thanks to the Council, I have learned how to fight for my rights. I am an active member in my organ- ization, I have gained courage to speak at open air meetings. “After I place my children in school, I go canvassing. I go to demonstrations. On many occa- sions, I take the children along— that is when they don’t have to go to school the next day. And believe ‘it or not, I do not neglect my chil- dren or my household. “Please withhold my name, if you print my letter.” HAT would you do, if your husband took the same posi- tion as the husband in the letter above? Do you thing the writer of the letter took steps to con- vince her husband that she was right? Write your answer direct to Working Woman Contest Edi- tor, 50 East 13th St., New York.
