The purpose of this meeting was to bulldoze us to kill the sentiment for a real union. Dr. Harry Spiegel the secretary of the company union. opened the meeting with an attack on Sam Karris, a waiter, who was fired for union activities and rein- stated, due to the pressure from the Hotel and Restaurant Workers Union Local 119 of the Food Work- | ers Industrial Union. and gave a very good answer to all questions raised by the officials of the company union. Sam exposed the company union and fear and Restaurant Workers Union. The company union officials became panicky and shouted that he should stop propagandizing but he con- tinued until three of the officials, including the secretary, forced Sam % sit down. At this point, several workers questioned the lack of free speech. Instead of answering the ques- tions, the officials tried to justify the existence of the company union and put to a vote a motion for the maintenance of the company union.

EW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1935 MOVIES USED AS BAIT | | By an Agricultural Worker Corre- spondent HAINES CITY, Fia—The condi- tions at the Polk Canning Company, the largest grapefruit: cannery in the world, are becoming worse each day for the workers. This is one of the canneries where there was a peaceful strike last sea- son and this strike was through arbitration by one of the bosses’ tools J. M. Chapman, a fas- cist of Haines City. At that time Chapman was the president of the United Citrus Workers Union. Now he advises Polk as to how to organize their yellow dog union. They call it an association. They give their employes a free picture show every two weeks. This is to win them over to the company | union. | In the past few weeks several | workers have been fired because of | their refusal to work soft grapefruit, for which they receive no pay. Several workers have been seri- jously hurt in accidents because of settled | {and receive a meesly one doilar a the speed-up on the machines which is forced upon them through the | N.R.A. policies and arbitration. These workers received no pay for | the time that they lost in recover- ing from their inju Polk company union told them that this should be a good lesson for them to join the company union day for the time they lost. These are good lessons for all} the workers—not to join a company | union but to get into a real mili- tant union that fights the N.R.A. policies of forced arbitration and slave conditions that we now have to endure. We should organize stronger than ever before and settle our own la- bor troubles, not through a bosses’ tool like Chapman but through the rank and fiy of the workers.

S. New York.—You say you have the habit of biting your nails and that since you are unémployed you are at it continuously. Your nail biting 1s a symptom of restlessness or nervousness. Any- thing that increases your nervous- ness would naturally tend to m2ke the condition worse. A fundamental cure would involve removing the causes of nervousness, such as, unemployment and all other insecurities of life. More sup- erficial methods are to keep the nails cut short, and to apply bitter substances to the finger tips. A good substance for this purpose is Fluid Extract of Gentian. which is ape Plied to the finger tins and allowed to dry. If you can’t afford to buy an ounce of this, a cheap substitute is a strong solution of epsom salts. jdone away with the gains won by | revolutionary movement.

J., Philadelphia.—The best de- odorant is soap and water. Bath- ing daily, providing you have the facilities, is the best way of keeping the armpits, ete., free of offensive odors. However, if you feel that you would like to use something in ad- dition to bathing, then you can either use a fine boric acid powder, or a boric acid solution made up by dissolving a level teaspoonful of boric acid powder to a glass of hot water, After allowing to cool a little, perfume may be added. Decdorants sold in fancy bottles at high prices will prove no better, Indeed, they often contain boric acid as their chief ingredient. A wash cloth soaked in ordinary rub- bing alecho] and held for five mine utss under the armpit is another effective deodorant. SUBSCRIPTION.
