THE FIGHT OF THE CHILDREN | For the past weeks, Comrade | Del, in his daily cartoon strip, | “Little Lefty,” has been telling the true story of the splendid fight made by Miss Syivia Ettinger, teacher of P. S. 36 in Brooklyn, | who was dismissed from her job for feedimg hungry children in the school lunch room, and the | brave boys and girls who sup- | ported her in her fight against hunger. The following is a letter to Del from Miss Ettinger: Brooklyn, N.

Of Victory By a Worker Correspondent | CENTRAL CITY, Pa.—Over two| months ago William Miller, working as a timberman in Gahagan Mine of the Huskin Run Coal Mining Company, was discharged. The reason given by the company was that William Miller had tam- pered with an electric meter in his house and that he was an unsatis- knows that Miller is a competent timberman with many years of ex- perience in mine work. After the company refused to set-} tle with the Mine Committee and give the job back to Miller, the case went to the District Arbitration| Commissioners. They found that Miller was unjustly discharged and| they ordered the company to re- hire Miller. Miller and the Mine Committee went to the company office and de- manded that Miller be put back on the job and that the company pay| n for all the time that he had} lost, The company refused to do} this. | The officials of District No. 2 of| the U. M. W. of A. seeing that| the miners were going to strike, took a hand in it, and sent Alfred B.| Martin, U. M. W. of A. organizer, to call the miners out in an “author- ized” strike. This was the first to be called at a commercial mine District No. 2. The strike. involv-| ing 115 miners, was called Dec. 5th.| ‘This was only a move by the dis- trict officials to sell out the strike, | and this is how it was done: The miners were forced to strike to get} Miller back on the job, and force; the company to pay him his back} wages. According to the agreement, a third demand arose in the strike. | Since the company unjustly dis-| charged Miller and refused to take him back, the company is supposed to pay a one-dolar fine to each miner as that was deducted from them before in unauthorized strikes, However, the District tried to get the miners back to work with only| back pay. They settled the strike} so that Miller got his job back and his back pay, but as far as the fine goes, the company was not forced to pay anything to the striking miners. This is how the U. M. W. of A. officials conduct strikes in order to sell the miners out. The miners see clearly the role of the District No. 2 Officials, not only in this strike, but in every strike they lead. They sell out, and then they claim “vic- | tory” as they claim in this case. This also shows that the miners must get busy and build the Rank and File Committees in every local’ and mine, so as to not give these misleaders a chance to betray the selves control their struggles. Only then will we able to win a real victory, isolate these misleaders and take the union into the hands of children and I also have found the Communist Party to be the only party that fights for our interests. I want to appeal to all workers to concentrate on the extreme need of an astonishing number of school children and to join us in our fight for free food and clothing for the children of the unemployed. Send telegrams demanding appropriations for food and clothing for this win- ter. Also, support the Unemployed Teachers Association in its fight against the Ives Bill, a fascist meas- | ure designed to silence the protest | of teachers against the starvation program of the administration. One answer to their attacks must be more and better Free Food Fighters Clubs. And we have good news to tell you! A new branch has just been organized, the Free Food Fighters Club of Greenpoint. We invite all workers’ children to our meetings on Wednesdays at 4 p.m. at 46 Ten Eyck Street, Brook- lyn. With unswerving loyalty in this fight against hunger, Comradely yours, SYLVIA ETTINGER.

With only one industry to depend upon, and when that industry closes down, the workers are forced to live off the tax monies obtained from the Steel Trust. And when they withhold these monies and get tax cuts which always decrease the amounts upon which the workers depend, it throws them into actual starvation. In this way the Steel Trust hopes to force people to leave the range, thereby having to pay less per capita tax. But the workers are refusing to leave, they are de- manding some form of a works pro- gram, such as C.W.A. and some form of unemployment insurance. This situation on the range has | the earmarks of giving birth to bit- ter economic struggles for security by the workers in the near future. Green’s Bill Used Against Bill HR 7598 By a Worker Correspondent QUINCY, Mass. — International President Squibb (a grandiloquent title for a spluttering cracker) has advised the members of the Granite | Cutters Union to support an A. F. of | L. bill as against the Workers Un- employment and Social Insurance Bill, H. R. 7598 (Lundeen Bill). The only reason he gives for this is that it would be better to unite on the A. F. of L. bill than divide up among many other proposed bills. Squibb is woefully ignorant of the support already given the bill known as H. R. 7598. It is not a question in the mind of this “labor leader” Squibb as to whether or not any or all proposed bills other than H. R. 7598 meet the needs of the workers. Official policy rather than rank and file poverty dictate Sauibb’s actions, It will not be necessary for Sauibd to read and compare H. R. 7698 with other bills for him to change his mind. Only show him which way the wind is to blow and he will veer his course to suit the most favorable wind. This type of labor leader changes his mind only when the rank and file thinks and acts for itself. -| outlook to the already undernour-| UMW Head plies coal to cities like Akron, Cleve- land, etc., delivered to them by | large trucks and trailers. | Wages Fall As Profits | Are Static By a Worker Correspondent JAMESTOWN, N. Y.—The man- ufacturers of Jamestown, N. Y. are making big profits while the work- ers are receiving starvation wages the following figures reveal. In 1933 the manufacturers of 110 establishments made _ $7,909,916 clear profit, while 5,773 workers re- ceived $4,536,917, or, on the aver- age received $15.11 each per week. Many higher up, straw bosses, en- gineers, superintendents, etc. re- | ceive as high as $9,000 and $10,000 salary a year. This shows that the workers actually received much less than $15 a week on the average; the workers actually received $10 to $12 a week to feed, clothe and shelter their families as well as pay taxes, Here are some more figures to} compare: 1933 1931 Number of estab- lishments . ‘ 110 12a Wage earners’ aver- | age for year. 5,778 7,207 Wages total for the J year wn. $4,536,917 8,596,975 | Cost for materials, | | containers for | | Brcetrie “eneret = $8,966,842 $12,540,064 | Value of products $21,313,675 $33,520,484 Value added by manufacturers. $12,346,833 $20,989,420 | Under Roosevelt’s N. R. A. and | the Rotten New Deal the workers are receiving half the wages that they received in 1931, or are un- employed totally. Because of this they are unable to pay the taxes. These workers largely own their! own homes which took their life- time savings. Now, on a large scale, tax scales are taking place and the bosses with their representatives in the City Council are arming them- selves with tear gas and riot guns against these workers. The City Council was exposed Monday, Dec. 10th by various | speakers who presented the Work- ers’ Unemployment and Social In- surance Bill, for endorsement by the City Council. These speakers |also demanded that the City Coun- | cil endorse the National Congress ;for Unemployment and Social In- surance and that they appropriate $100 to help send the delegates to Washington. They pointed out that if the City Council can spend the money of the tax payers to arm themselves against the workers, they certainly can give $100 to ‘Emergency’ Clause Is Bosses’ Pretext To Violate Contract Discrimination, Overtime and Sunday Work} | | Practised by Mine WEST BROWNSVILLE, and District No. 5 of the U. continuously to, and does violate? the agreement. The methods are different in each | case, but in majority of the cases, the violation is hidden under the guise of “emergency work.” This| is because the agreement gives the company the right to work the men overtime, double or three shifts, or anything else they wish to do, by calling it “emergency.” A couple of Sundays ago, the as- sistant boss went to a house in Blainsburg, and got two brothers to go into the mine ofi Sunday and load coal. They loaded sixteen wagons pick coal. This is more than some of the men get in a whole week, These men may be called to work again and again.

Any one violating this rule should be penal- ized by the local union to the point of expulsion, By 2 Mine Worker Correspondent YUKON, Pa—I am enclosing a duplicate copy of a letter we received from J. Lewis in reply to a resolu- tion sent to him protesting against the taking of rank and file candi- dates off the ballot in the U.M.W. of A. elections. The letter we received | reads as follows: Noy. 28, 1934. Mr. Clark G. Noonan, Central Trades Council, P. O. Box 253, Jeannette, Pa. Dear Sir and Brother: I acknowledge receipt of your communication of Nov. 22, but I am rather amazed that the C. T. C. of Jeannette should undertake to interfere with the affairs of the U. M. W. of A. The laws of the A. F. of L. under which your Trades Council is chartered do not give such organi- zations any authority to inquire into or participate in the business affairs of affiliated International Unions, The action of your coun- cil is unwarranted and a violation of privilege. With respect to your inquiry, gress. If the workers would elect their own representatives, the candidates of the Communist Party, into the City Administration these things would not happen, for the Com- munists would tax those who are} making millions of dollars out of | the toil of the workers. They would not sell the homes of the workers for taxes, as is now being done with 2,000 workers’ homes for support the delegation to the con- sale. Absence of Opposition Slate ‘Explained’ by Lewis, however, the identity of the “cer- tain individuals” to whom you refer, a Jarge number of individ- uals received |nominations from local unions of the U. M. W. of A, for some International office. Many of them did not choose to accept such nominations and be- come candidates. This is true of two men who had announced themselves candidates for exec tive offices in the U. M. W. of A. They did not choose to become candidates and consequently their names are not on the ballois. With respect to another indi- vidual candidate for executive office, he did not run because he could not meet the constitutional requirements of the U.M.W. of A. Yours truly, J. LEWIS. Among other things that are hap- pening here, Local 6558, U. M. W. of A., elected a delegate to the Con- gress for Unemployment and Social Insurance. In the voting in Wyano Local, Charles Walker, rank and file can- didate, received 34 votes and Fagan received 31, The Wyano Local also elected a delegate to the Pittsburgh Confer- ence for Unemployment and Social Insurance.

A CHRISTMAS FAIRY TALE By William Sanderson Everyone knows that Santa Claus lives up at the North Pole, in a house made of snow. He has hun- dreds of little gnomes who work for him. They make the toys, see that all o-ders are attended to, that the reindeer are fed and properly shod and that everything is in shipshape order for the night of December 24th. One doesn’t have to be a | Young Pioneer to know that Santa Claus appears only in the homes of the rich, where there are food, clothes and toys anyhow. Old Santa doesn’t like the houses of workezs and poor farmers. Did you ever hear} about a worker's child getting a Christmas present of a real live pony, or a French doll with twelve trunks of clothes? I never did. Well, one night just before going to bed Santa told his gnomes, “You runts will have to put in some extra work. I must have all these pack- ages addressed before tomorrow. You can copy them from my big address book.” With these words, he went to his bedroom. The gnomes scratched their heads. They were all so tired they could hardly stand. The Christmas rush in the past few weeks was tezrible. They had to work 18 hours a day. “To think how we have to work,” said one of them whose name was Mingo, “ and old Santa gets all the credit. All he has to do is to deliver the toys.” “What do I care about credit?” said another. “We have to do every- thing here, and what do we get? Our wages are so low that we can't even get clothes for ourselves, and it is pretty cold here all year around and the food—why Donder and Blitzen wouldn’t even look at it!” “and who do we make all the toys for?” chimed in a third one. “Look at these addresses: Master Jeffrey Wimbledon, Park Avenue; Miss Cynthia Aylesworth, Palm Beach, Fla., and so on down the line—just a bunch of spoiled brats, who have everything they want anyway.” “T hate the whole thing myself/’ said Mingo, “but what can we do?” There was a minute of silence. “I know what we can do,” a voice piped up in the corner, Everybody turned around and saw Pingo—a gnome who was called the book- worm because he was so fond of reading whenever he could find time, “You know how the reindeer like to pick up everything in sight to chew on. Well, last time the old man went for a little trial ride, Donder picked up a copy of the | Daily Worker. Santa told me to take care of the deer when he came back, and I pulled out a couple of pages from the deer’s mouth be- fore it was all gone. I've been get- ting the Daily Worker since, and I see where, all over the world, work- ers are mistreated the way we are, and the workers fight back by going on strike.” “How can we strike,” several cried out, “the old man will throw us out in the cold and we shall freeze.” “If we all stop work he won’t daze to. He has the orders to fill. If he should not appear this year, it would be his end. As it is, fewer and fewer people believe in Sania every year,” said Pingo. all had to agree. “But we must see to it that everybody quits working right away and does not go on until we get decent hours and good food, an increase in pay and a Christmas bonus.” Whereupon everyone dropped work and march- ed off to bed. Santa woke up next morning after a good sleep and called for breakfast. There was no answer, After waiting a few minutes he put on his slippers and walked into the workshop. None was there. The boxes were lying in one corner, the toys in another. “What is this,” yelled Santa. “Where is everybody? Why aren’t you working?” he shouted at a few gnomes, who came from their bed- rooms. “Oh, we're on strike,” the gnomes answered. “We demand an increase in pay.” “What?’ screamed Senta, “a strike?” His face grew as red as his coat, and his whiskers stood up like the fur of a scared cat. He raged and fumed and even broke some tree ornaments, but it was no use. The gnomes stood firm. To make the story short, they won all their demands and now they have a union, “The North Pole Workers Industrial Union,” affiliated with the International Association of Gnomes. Well, to tell you the truth—this is a dream I had last night. But the dream is not su far from truth. The workers in factories and stores are the gnomes, and they are work- ed to death by the bosses. And they’ve been fighting back by going This was so reasonable that they on strike and picketing the sto-es. | And only when Santa Claus and other bosses are put where they belong, will the workers’ children enjoy all the nice things they can- not get today. x as ¢ : i 84 BY Jo a 2 ae o SC OM a Beas pd 49 beet vy * \ * Y Bo yy eet Vw "5 he ie eSiNeT tle # SSe “i i Wee eg aie Directions: Start from Dot No. 1, and draw lines through all the numbers up to 55.

Before exploding this theory, let us see who is behind it, who are its strongest. supporters When we look into the history of the Catholic Church, we find that One of their most powerful means for holding on to their people had been to give in to mass demands, at the same time convincing them that it is through divine providence that these demands are granted; bishops and popes see God's will. Obviously, what they have done was to put the cart before the horse; instead of calling it mass demand, they called it God’s will. The granting of indulgences and the confessional are two examples of this. The most recent divine in- and fertility. The demand and the need for \birth control has become universal.

Comrade Dunn writes today on “Routine.” ei ee “THIS article, as well as the fol- lowing ones will have in mind mainly, children of pre- ischool age (2 to 6 years), since these are the most important years for health building and training, “One of the very important factors in child training is dafiy routine, All physical care of the child, as well as his other activi- ties and play should be organized as far as possible.

It helps to do away with endiess persuasions, nag- ging, coaxing, bribing, arguing and threats which are all so often used in a home where the child never knows when he is expected to sleep, eat, work or play. The regular life also is very important to the child’s physical health and nervous stability.
