THERE IS THE NECESSITY that this amendment be ratified in the remaining sixteen states neces- sary. There is the necessity for a mass campaign for further legisla- tion. It js not sufficient that Con- gress sfall “decide” in specific in- dustries. Child labor under sixteen must be abolished. And working conditions, wages, hours, of ado- lescents, up to eighteen must be strictly safeguarded, from the point of view of their health and needs. There must be provided government funds for the children now working. Only the gravest economic pressure sends a child working. Without funds for maintenance of those who are now child workers, any child labor legislation would be a farce, and just for the record.

Calls for Defense Of Ward Rogers By a Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—Enclosed you will find a clipping from page 12 of | the Jewish newspaper, The Day, of Jan. 26, 1935. I am ‘sending it so that you may have checked my free translation of the item. It appears that Ward A. Rogers, @ young man of 24 years, recently graduated from college and was then lucky enough to obtain a job as an F.E.R.A. teacher (at about | $1.25 a day) in Arkansas. Now, Mr. | Rogers was sent to Arkansas to | tell the people of the wonders of | the New Deal. But it appears that Rogers was an honest and intelligent person and so told the sharecroppers that the feudal system under which they lived had never been good, but that now the New Deal, since it restricted jPlanting and thus threw men out of work, had made conditions unbearable for the sharecroppers. Mr. Rogers went on to read the Declaration of Independence to his students and to preach from other “anarchistic, communistic, bolshe- vistic and alienistic” (as any Amer- jican Congressman would say) docu- ments, Therefore he was promptly deprived of his $1.25 a day, fined $500 and put into prison for six months. Mr. Rogers’ education is certainly progressing. Should we not show him the strength of a united | workers’ protest? in the Daily Worker DISTRICT 1— Boston, Mass.: William Cacciola Mary E.

No, she went to work with some other good workers with the help of the International Labor Defense. Now these workers are out on bond. I know why the A. F. of L. offi- cials don’t want her to speak to the workers, It is because they know that she will tell the truth, and the tgith is what Gorman and Green do not want the workers to know. I don’t know anybody that can bring out the truth like Ann Bur- She will make friends when Gorman and Green will not have a single worker following them. Why? Because the workers have never heard her lie. She goes on the picket lines while Gorman and the rest stay in warm hotels, Become a Red Builder, earn ex- penses and build Daily Worker circulation. Write to 50 East 13th Street, New York, for details, _Forward’s Keen Eye Hunts Militaney By a Needle Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—I want to express my great satisfaction through the Daily Worker with the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union. I charge the editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, Abe Cahan, and his assistants with continually throw- ing dirt and lies to damage the struggles of the workers. For years, whenever the more conscious workers in the union dared to breathe a breath more militant that would lead toward Class struggle ideology, the group of workers were detected and ruth- lessly exterminated by the agents of the Forward who were in control of the union. They were deprived of jobs, and driven from shop to shop, suffering from all sorts of perse- cution.

That evening the Relief Workers’ | Protective Union held a regular weekly meeting in the Community | Room of the County Court House. | At that time the relief problem was | taken up. All three of the County | Commissioners were present and two spoke, The substance of their speeches was that we should “sit tight” and “wait,” that Congress | was going to help us. However, the workers there were past waiting, and wanted action. They elected a commitiee of fif- teen that was to lead a demonstra- tion the next day in the relief of- fice. They also drew up at the meeting the following demands: 1. Immediate re-enactment of all relief on the following rates: $25 minimum and $10 for each de- pendent, with no discrimination. 2. That Mayor Coe, the County | Commissioners and the I. E. R. A.| representatives be called to the I. E. R. A. office to meet with our com- mittee to make temporary plans for | caring for our immediate needs. | 3. That demands be telephoned to Washington, D. C., and Boise, Idaho. 4. That commodities on hand be distributed, 5. That free medical and dental care be given, with the workers having the right to choose their own doctor. 6. Thes mattresses on hand be distributed, 1. That direct relief be given to those who are sick, or who unavoid- ably miss a day’s work, 8. Free wood for those in need. 9. That the I. E. R. A. recognize the Relief Workers’ Protective Union. 10. Free lights and water for all those unemployed. For the rest of the week we held continuous demonstrations in the relief office, and won many con- cessions: 1. A $5 grocery order. 2. Wood for those in need. 3. Recognition of the union and a promise that one representative of the union would be placed upon the investigating committee in the re- lief office. 4. Thirty-five mattresses to be distributed to the most needy. 5. Clothing given to individual needy. 6. Transients to be given relief instead of being sent to transient camps. 7.

ONION STRIKE LOOMS LAREDO, Texas, Jan. 29.—Prep- arations are under way here for a strike in the onion fields, when the crop ripens, as a result of a meet- ing held here last week, to hear delegates from the National Unem- ployment Congress. Two represen- tatives of a united front confedera- tion from Nueva Laredo, Mexico, spoke. The strike will reach across international borders. The 400 work- ers who attended the meeting rose to their feet cheering when the two workers from Nueva Laredo de- hardly run it. They could not make more than 50 pounds. Production was 75 pounds. The foreman | thought these girls were not doing | their best, so they sent to E. M. | Holt Plaid Mill for experienced | hands, but it was impossible for | them to make more than the learn- | ers. The bossman told them that if they couldn’t make production to get out. The girls were driven so hard that they were forced to quit. | He hired new learners and pays them according to what they pro- duce, which is never over $4 or $5 | per week, instead of paying them the code prices. After these learners begin to make good as experienced hands, they will be turned off and new ones taken on. In this way they have never to pay more than $5 per week for redrawing. Will Press Protest On Wagner Bill PHILADEPHIA, Pa., Jan, 29,—| In a telegram to Congressman Rob- | ert L. Doughton, Saturday, the Lo- | cal Action Committee for the Work- ers’ Unemployment and Social In- surance Bill informed him that 115 organizations represented by the Committee demanded a chance to expose the Wagner-Lewis Bill be- fore the Ways and Means Commit- tee of the House of Representatives, and the passage of the Workers’ Bill, H. R. 2627, At a series of meetings in South Philadelphia, West Philadelphia and Strawberry Mansions, held under the auspices of the United Jewish Committee for the Workers’ Bill, resolutions demanding free expres- sion of opposition to the Wagner- Lewis Bill and for passage of the Lundeen Bill were ordered sent to Doughton, Roosevelt, Vice-President Garner, Senate Finance Committee, the House Committee on Labor and to individual congressmen. A delegation of five has been elected by the Local Action Com- mittee to go to Washington this week when the Ways and Means Committee opens hearings on the Wagner-Lewis Bill. An appeal for funds, to finance the trip and to clear up debts left by the Sponsor- ing Committee for the National Congress on Unemployment, was is- sued Saturday by the Action Com- mittee. Organizations and individ- uals have been urged to rush funds to Room 707 Flanders Building. Siring Attached To Relief ~ By a Worker Correspondent EL PASO, Tex.—The relief here is pretty bad. Some of us are get- ting two days a week at 30 cents an hour for a six-hour day. That makes $3.60 a week with which to pay for food, clothes, rent and all other necessities of life. So our standard of living, if you can call it living, is worse than it is in most states. We were buying our groceries in Juarez, Mexico, exchanging our dollar for $3.55 Mexican money. In this way we were almost able to get by. Now the relief, united with the Chamber of Commerce, is go- ing to pass a law that every worker \clared that they were ready to join hands across the border to fight American imperialism, that svends a dollar for groceries [in Juarez is going to be drepped from the relief rolls, condition. “Morning sickness” is more likely to occur when the wo- man fears or does not want the pregnancy. However, what begins as @ nervous reaction soon leads to Physical difficulties because the patient does not eat the things re- quired at this time. Prevention of “morning sickness” requires first a happy mental ad- justment to the pregnancy, secondly, |an abundance of carbohydrates. that is foods containing sugars and starches, should be taken. Foods containing vitamins, such as milk, green vegetables and fresh fruit, are important. Six small meals should be eaten daily. The first thing in the morning, in the forenoon, at lunch, in mid-afternoon, at supper time and before going to bed. Plenty of fluids should be taken, especially alkalines like mineral water. Constipation should be avoided by the use of a mild cath- artic, as milk of magnesia or min- eral oil. Medicines are of very little value in “morning sickness.” The condition usually disappears in about four and a half months, when the movements of the baby are first felt. The second half of pregnancy is a veriod of exception- ally good health. Cie Warts Doris: The exact cause of warts is not yet fully understood. Accord- ing to investigations of this subject, it is not likely that they are caused by some unusually small germ, , It jis known that the presence of one wart (the mother wart) is not in- frequently followed by the appear- ance of many more warts. It is also believed that they are mildly contagious, In most cases, the use of such remedies as the electric needle, X-rays or radium causes their dis- appearance. There are however many instances where the warts keep returning despite any or all treatments. In many cases they dissappear without any treatment, ° Win a free trip to the Soviet Union; a free vacation in a work- ers’ camp, or cash.
