Ninety Cents Is Wage for Thirty-Hour Week— Stool Pigeons and Police Used To Put Plan Over NORFOLK, Va.—During October, the unemployed seamen here forced the Relief Ad- ministration to house and feed the seamen of this port on the basis of three twenty-cent meals a day and a twenty- | cent night's lodging. In addition to this, they also received | toilet articles and tobacco.® clothing A strong Unemployment Council was built around these concessions. For a time the situation assumed a smooth tenor. Then, suddeniv ere was a rumor that the whole relief set-un was to undergo a rad eel re The leaders of the Waterfront Unemployment Council foresaw the danger and warned the seamen In folk, we have a situation analogous to that of other seaports. Here we have terrorist elements in the form of Vigilantes, special police terror, jim-crow laws and a second to none system made up of Project #tool-nigeons Reiief Heads Maneuver The attack on the seamen was made through maneuvers. First, the relief authorities warned the restau- rants, where the seamen had been eating. that thev were going to cut down the meals to fifteen cents. The result was that two restaurants re- fused to feed on the grounds that they could not make a profit at that Price This gave the fakers th- excuse to force the seamen to eat and live in the nroject. It was a meneuver to divide the seamen. ‘We held a meeting on this ques- tion and elected a committee to de. mand that they raise the price to twenty cents a meal. When the spv committee saw the local relief head, | he stated that the budget would not allow this. The next attack came when sev- eral police came up the hall for three nichts in a row and ssid they liked to attend meetings. The re- Sult was that a great many seamen stond away. ‘The rats started to broadcast that | we were a bunch of reds and bomb | throwers, telling the seamen to stay aweyv from us.

Plunkert called this camp. “My Baby.” There should be no doubt in the minds of the readers of the Daily Worker what is the purport of this Baby of Plunkert’s During the police terror, many seamen became demoralized. Many left. town hoping to find better re- lief in other ports, not knowing that the attack will be made there also. There is no way out but to fight these fakers in every port. They made the attack here first because they figured it was the weakest of all the ports.

There are a number of this, but one we here will only difficulty and ercome it great percentage of the steel workers are foreign born. At the present time, this nercentage is even greater among those that are close to the revolutionary movement. This creates the difficulty of lan- guage in developing correspondence for the Daily Worker. Many of these workers because of their foreign origin and the lack of educational facilities in the steel towns find it difficult to write English. Still these workers have a great deal of information and experience to contribute. that will not only be of value to steel workers, but also to workers in other industries. In Steel. we have had some of the richest exneriences in working with- in and fighting against the company unions. Theve is now developing a strong rank and file movement in the A. A.

By Relief on By a Worker Correspondent ROCKFORD, Til—The West End | Food Shop, located at 1002 West | State Street, a small home-owned food store, had their relief orders to the amount of twenty-five regular customers cancelled by the local re- lief committee recently. Because these people who oper- ated this small store were deeply sympathetic to the unemployed workers, and gave them as much as was possible on their relief slips, many workers had their orders di- | rected to this place of business. But, this did not agree with Mr. Poole, manager of the A. & P. store across the street. He complained that this store gave the relief clients anything they wanted, and as there! is a restriction on the food articles that persons on relief can buy, the relief officials can remove all orders from any store that fails to live up! to this rule, The relief officials, help the Wall Street concern, approved by the rest cf the official '| stooped to the vilest and most des- pieable of taetics in order to frame up this small shepkeeper.

Jim Crow Act By a Student Correspondent NEW YORK—“I almost didn’t get here today; I started to Roancke to witness a lynching.” This was’ the| | exe given by the white nurse of | the Armstrong High Schcol for Negroes in Richmond, Virginia, to the principal of the school, also white, for being late for her duties, The remark was made in the pres- ence of a Negro teacher, who re-| ported it to the National Student League Chapter at the school. In answer to the protests and de- mands for expulsion of this Negro- hating nurse, made by the students of the school, the Principal W. W. Townsend, who had accepted her excuse, said: “It was a slip. It came from the tongue, not from the heart.” It was only by chance that the nurse appeared for duties at all that day. It happened that the Negro who was to have been lynch- ed, Philip Jones, had been moved during the night from Roanoke to Richmond “for safe keeping.” Armstrong High School | Chapter of the National Student League is carrying on an intensive struggle for the ousting of this lynch-loving nurse. Maurice Gates, Negro member of the National Ex- ecutive Committee of the N.S.L., who organized the Armstrong chap- ter on a recent organizational trip through the South, reports that in | Southern jim-crow Negro schools | the principal and ene or two mem- bers of the staff are invariably White and enemies of the Negro people. The High School Section of the National Student League has voted unanimously to support the fight of the Armstrong students for the ousting of the nurse and has issued an appeal to students, workers and intellectuals to send protests to W.

Ingrown Toe-Nails H K., Bronx, N. Y.:—Ingrown toe- * nails could be treated easily without operation. The treatment is very simple and consists of gently inserting smail strips of absorbent cotton beneath the protruding nail and skin. This procedure should be performed daily. The first day very little cotton should be used and subsequently, increasing amounts to be inserted. The object of the treatment is te ently raise the nail over the im- inging skin; thus, as the nail rows it will tend to grow over the skin instead of into the skin. Unless ingrown toe-nails are thus treated, they will eventually become infected, swollen, and very painful, Should an infection be present, the best method of treatment is bathing it in hot boric acid solution at in- tervals of two or three hours. Where such attention could not be given, operation is resorted to, The operation should be performed in a recognized orthopedic hospital and not in an office. The operative procedure is not a serious one and does not require lengthy hospitale ization, ee E, Cleveland, Ohio: — Ordinary '* pure henna will cause no harme ful effects to the hair or scalp im ordinary use.
