Originally, the above concern was only selling the ivory trimmings. When the boycott on German goods set in, and a number of garter manufacturers refused to buy this merchandise, the Ropa began to have the complete garter made up for them. My employer has stopped hand- ling their merchandise, but he did not hesitate in manufacturing a few hundred dozen garters for them. He defended himself on the grounds that if he did not make up the garters for them some other con- cern would, so why shouldn’t it be him? It reminded me of the argument that the duPonts had used at the munition investigations. Since someone has to manufacture muni- tions, then it may as well be they who should handle the job. The trade name of this garter is “Palm Beach.” Workers who come across the above garter should know that it is made with German trimmings.

H.—I find the slab spruce cabin still standing in the woods near Red Water Brook Road, and its two occupants, one working in the forest for two or three dollars a week, the other in the saw mill, now and then. This morning the thermometer stood at fourty-one degrees below zero, and at daybreak the powerful but gray brother, once a railroad conductor, now cast aside by the bosses, struck off into the pines, up to his knees in snow with an axe over his shoulder. Behind him are varied scenes in a life of toil; conductor, sailor twice on ships| torpedoed during the war, carpen- ter, camp cook, a participant in the National Hunger March, stricken with pneumonia on the route, now coughing as he swings his axe in the depth of the woods. His brother, past fifty, rolls logs and carries lumber at the mill. A tree fell on his back, and because he could not earn a decent living he lost his home and his family. The boss at the mill, a member of the State Legislature is back on his pay, crying hard times. At night we sit in the single room of the cabin by the wood stove, under the rays of a kerosene lamp and eat our supper of boiled pota- toes and flap-jacks, an unvarying fare, seldom accompanied by coffee, or syrup, or bread. Then the man with the grey hair sits forward, spreads the Daily Worker on th2 home-made table and reads every word from cover to cover, part of it aloud to his brother whose eyes are failing him. Each year they find it more diffi- cult to live; there are less stray jobs, pay is smaller, men are coming to farms offering their services for board and_ tobacco, During the textile strike these men were in the picket lines five miles away. They went into the union hall, demanded the floor, and spoke. They obtained a Model-A Ford to ride to Barre for help from the International Labor Defense, when a picket was arrested. Then, they started their own I. L. D. Branch when the Barre comrades obtained the worker's release. The brother who chops in the woods, also tramps five miles to town to cover .his Daily Worker route, small but a route among mill workers. The brothers belong to a unit of the Communist Party which is scattered over a wide area, made up of farm and mill workers 7 Before the textile stzike Clare- mont, where strikes were unheard of, presented a picture of defeat, somnolence and a religious domina- tion over a prostrate mass. After the strike, the workers are conscious of their salvation. The town is younger. Fiftv is not quite youthful when men have ca:ried, hoisted. chopped and hewn all their lives. Neverthe- less, my graying hosts in the spruce cabin have succeeded in building a Communist nucleus which, though small, is respected by the mill and farm workers, and which grows as a eet, New York City. us by Saturday of each week, conscious sector of the Claremont workers. By a Lumber Worker Correspondent ROCKWOOD, Me. — We are at present working for the Great Northern Paper Company in the woods department, The conditions here are rotten. First, we will take up wages. The common wage is $2.16 a day with seventy-five cents taken out for board, leaving $1.28 a day. This would give you $7.71 clear, taking out seven days board, providing you get in a full week’s work, consisting of six days from dawn to dark. However, this happens very seldom due to stormy weather. This wage is paid to workers who are called swampers or road monkeys. Their job is to build roads through the woods and keep them in repair, Teamsters’ Pay The teamsters and helpers get $1.75 a day and free board. The first named gets paid for a seven day week, while the second gets paid for six. However, they get free board on all seven days, They are haul- ing pulp wood with one pair of horses and a thirty-two foot sled to each pair. They haul from twelve to fifteen cords of wood a day, working from six in the morn- ing till five-thirty at night. A cord of pulp wood (frozen) weighs about two and one half tons. Wood must be handled twice, piled on to the sled in the woods and piled on the landing at the river: in preparation for the spring drive. A bonus of ten cents a cord is prom- ised any teamster who hauls five hundred cords of wood on to the landing. Very few will be paid the bonus, as work is so hard that most men will be played out long before the five hundred cords are hauled. Sleeping Quariers There is no bribe held out to the helpers. Their only goal is a chance For Swampers in Lumber Camp to become a teamster in order that they might compete for the bonus. All hands, except the boss, clerks, etc., are compelled to sleep in bunks. Two rows of bunks, one above the other on each side of the bunk house, each bunk to accomodate two workers, Bunks are too narrow and not long enough. All bunks are made of small logs with fir boughs piled on top. (A few bunks have straw.) The bunk house accommo- dates 86 men, with only one small window in the roof for ventilation. This window must be kept closed at | night as the men in the lower bunks cannot stand the cold if it is open, Men were forced to work on days when it was forty to fifty below | zero, Poor Food Food is plentiful, but of a very poor quality. Dinner is served to men hauling pulp, in a tar paper shack which is twelve feet by twelve in size. Twenty-four men are fed there at noon. ‘The rest eat in camp. The meal consists of beans and cold meat, tea and bread, also cookies. Breakfast and supper are not so bad. The cook is always out of something. When he has plenty of meat, he has no potatoes and so forth. Sometimes he is supplied with enough of everything and then we have a fair meal, The transportation from the camp to the city is very poor. If a man gets hurt or is sick, he must be taken to depot camp (eight miles away) in a wagon over a very rough road. He has to stay over night and be taken to Greenville (ninety miles) in a company truck, before he can get medical attention. It is about one hundred and fifty miles to the hospital at Bangor. I would like to write some more, but it is so dark that I can’t see any more. Also, the mail is going out tonight on tote team. He has eight miles to go and it is dark now. Negroes Paid Less On Trucking Job By a Worker Correspondent SELMA, Ala.—I am a laborer for the Wicker Transfer Company. When I first started to work for them I only got ten cents an hour. When the N.R.A. came in, my day's pay was raised to $1.33. I don’t get but two or three days a week now, but before the N.R.A. came in I got from four to five days work a week. Of course, Mr. Wicker signed the code of the New Deal, but he is not keeping his promises at all. He has eight trucks, three of those trucks are for city service, the other five for road service. He has sixteen men working for him, thirteen Negroes and three whites. These white workers stay on the road as long as he has something for them to do. They have Negro helpers, and these helpers do the hard work while the white men sit down and read the paper or drink. They have to load from fifteen to seventeen tons on those trucks. If they do not load that way, the boss will raise all kinds of hell. If a tire blows out on the road, the boss starts to cussing them out when they get in and talk about firing them off the job. A job is a job in Selma, and they stay there and take his low down dogging just because they can’t get a job at any time. The Negroes’ salary for road work is $1.50 a day, the whites get $2 a day. The city men get only $133 a day and do harder work than the road men. Southern Worker Urges Organization By a Steel Worker Correspondent FAIRFIELD, Ala. — The city of Fairfield is in a bad condition. The officers is putting the people in jail and won't let you have a word to say. Is we going to let them put Jobless Leader Freed By Mass Protest By a Worker Correspondent WELLSVILLE, Ohio. — On Jan. 23, comrades Harry French and Charles Montgomery Jr., leaders of the Unemployed Council, were ar- rested for taking coal laying on the tracks of the Pennsylvania Rail- road. The coal amounted to about a bushel or so and would never haye been used by anyone. But a crooked railroad “bull” said he saw them with the coal and filed charges of petit larceny with the mayor of Wellsville. As the mayor wanted to “get” Harry French especially for the good work he had done in getting relief for many needy workers in Wellsville, he discharged Mont- gomery and bound French over to the Grand Jury on a bail of $500. Almost immediately when workers and sympathetic small business men learned of his plight, they came with the required bail many times over. In the meantime the I. L. D. also had gotten on the job and had secured a bondsman. The mayor, much chagrined by the state of things, kept French in jail over night, intending to send him to the county jail the next day, making his release more difficult. But in addition to the pressure exerted by the bondsmen, workers called from the shops asking the mayor if he was conducting a Hitler court and demanded the immediate release of French. The mayor realizing his lone stand in his dirt, was forced to capitulate. He drop- ped the charges against his prisoner and let him go free. The mass pressure was more than he could stand against. doing us continue to get worse and worse? Listen, people. let us or- ganize and kill this thing or else it will kill us all.

In spite of the recovery ballyhoo, working conditions in all lines are growing steadily worse and the speed-up increasing.

Dismissal Threat In Ford Plant By a Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—I did not realize the degradation the workers have to suffer until I worked for Henry Ford in Kearny, N. J. I was new from the plough then and the stark horror of it revolted me. The slave-driving speed-up. the ruthlessness and brutality and the eternal fear of being dismissed. | I have seen no work under the sun | to equal Ford’s in shearing a man | of all human dignity. He is cursed and threatened and spied upon and the longer he is there the more he wonders each morning if he will be | there till night. I knew a worker about fifty vears of age in charge of a tool-crib there, and who had been with Ford for ten years. One day a batch of visitors from Detroit came through the factory and one of them noticed that this man in the tool-crib did not have his identification number in the correct place—on the left breast. The worker begged to get another chance, said he had forgotten, he had the badge in his pocket and that it would never occur again. But, he was dismissed. For many months afterwards he tried to get back. He never got back. Southern Steel Workers Hit By Stagger Plan By A Steel Worker Correspondent FAIRFIELD, Ala—The bosses of the T. C. I. wire mill is very hard to please in every respect. The workers are driven hard every day on tonnage and just make a little above day rates. If the loading is over twenty minutes before quitting time. they will have to go out and be docked for twenty minutes. In the morn- ing or at noon, if the gang has nothing to do for an hour, they have to go out and be docked for one hour. The bosses said that every one should work forty hours a week, but since then they have been run- ning from twelve to twenty-four hours per week, and pay day comes short for the workers. The bosses have also changed the rates at the rail mill. Jamaica Store Fires Negro Worker.. By a Worker Correspondent JAMAICA, N. Y.—A young Negro worker was fired from Bohack’s Store for “incompetency” despite the fact that he has worked indus- triously in this store, which is located at 171st Street and 107th of the customers. He has been re- Placed by a white worker and is now left without any means of sup- port for himself, his wife and child. This was an open case of dis- crimination and all workers, white end Negro, should protest against it.

You look so tired and done up every night you get home.” My reply was that I’m on the production line and no matter how much work one does the bosses de- mand more each day. After the continual rush hour after hour you begin to feel that your senses are leaving you. I told her of a young man who after working only three weeks on this same production line remarked, “I feel like quitting every day. I never thought this Ford method of speed-up was possible. I am begin- ning to see ‘Reds.’” In my sleep I count 3,000 to 4,000 a FOR A-RANK G3 > FILE UNION ce to 10,000 parts and sometimes the line keeps pouring more and more parts upon me until my sleep turns into a nightmare.

Its the feeling you have of being |tortured alive, of having your brains, your emotions and all the finer parts of a human being ripped away from you piece by piece. tion workers feel about it as you |and the young man you speak of do?” My answer was that being decent workmen there was not the least doubt that they did.

An X-ray will help rule out the existence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (consumption) which is an import- ant cause of chronic cough, often mistaken for bronchitis. Vaccines and Alpine Ray treatment are worthless or even harmful in Pul- monary Tuberculosis. Absolute rest, preferably in a sanatorium, is neces sary. Did the chronic bronchitis follow an attack of influenza, measles or whooping cough? In that case, the child may have what is known as “Bronchiectasis.” In this disease, |the bronchial tubes are chronically |inflamed and stretched. Special tests are necessary to make the diagnosis. These are performed in hospital clinics. Vaccines and Al- pine Rays are likewise worthless in the disease. Chronic bronchitis also accoms panies or follows attacks of asthma. A brief discussion of the treatment | of asthma appeared recently in the |Daily Worker. Sputum vaccines and Alpine rays are of no value. Chronic bronchitis is seen in heart disease where there is congestion of the lungs, The treatment should be directed towards correcting the heart trouble. Mild attacks of whooping cough must also be distinguished from at- tacks of bronchitis. Special tests (aboratory) may be necessary to make the diagnosis. The treatment of a case of chronio bronchitis, therefore, depends upon the primary cause of the bronchitis. There is no good evidence that sputum vaccines or Alpine Rays will help every case of chronic bronchitis. They may do harm in so far as they delay the institution of correct treatment for the primary | cause of the chronic bronchitis.
