Dependency From
Facing Bosses World
Takes More Victims

An old lady committed suicide in
her dingy room in a boarding house
by covering her face with chloroform-
soaked towels. Dependency over
ill-health," her landlady said.
A married man of middle age COM
mitted suicide at almost the same
time by inhaling gas. Dependency
over i'll health and unemployment"
his wife said.
These cases are only two of many
suicides because Of dependency over
ill-health and unemployment" which
the conditions of the proflts-system
society brings on young and old. The
young, altho down and out, will yet
cling to life little longer. The
young can work when there are jobs,
but the old are scrapped by the greed
OF the bosses.
The old, WORKOUT workers, forgot
ten and weary, muster their courage
to end the burden Of life which no
merciful god will remove.

president Of the Carpenters District
Council, OF the ballot in the June cleo
ton, came to head when Jensen's
own local, No. Isl, passed resolu-
ton rebuking Jensen for the suspen-
sion.
In spite of the fact that Jensen was
present at the meeting. and spoke in
defense Of the action OF his machine,
Local ISL, at their last meeting, al
most unanimously passed the resolu-
tion declaring that a grave error had
been committed and demanding that
Jensen and his co-workers immediate
~ declare the nine suspended locals
IN good standing again.

zinovlev on National Problems.
In his mastery address, lasting
more than four hours, Comrade Zinc
view gave a detailed report of the re-
markable progress made by the So
Wet republic in the handling of its
internal affairs. Particular stress was
laid on the manner in which the many
nationalities constituting the Union
Of Soviet Republics were being weld
ed together into one powerful Soviet
republic. The non-Russian speaking
minority peoples are today receiving
and enjoying full rights and are
achieving their ambitions long re-
strained and crushed by the czarist
capitalist clique formerly ruling Rus
STA.
In his speech Zinoviev declared,
amidst thunderous cheering of the
delegates: I'VE can say with pride
that such problems as the Armenian
question, which has for years baf-
fed the entire world, which has for
generations proved unsolvable to the
capitalists, has been solved by So
Wet Russia. We have done as well in
our relations with the Soviet repub-
lies of Georgia and the Ukraine"
Trotsky for Party Unity.
Comrade Trotsky, who in the recent
party controversy was at variance
with the central executive committee,
made strong plea for the unity of
the party. The spirit and contents
of his speech showed how the recent
disputes have been completely nqui-
dated.
In closing his address, which was a
passionate appeal for the greatest
possible unity and the building Of an
invincible Communist party, Comrade
Trotsky said: "The Communist par
ty is always correct in its fundamen-
tai general aims. 1 understand the
duty of every disciplined Communist,
of my duty as party member at the
present momement 1 am ready to
admit, as every other member is, mis-
takes, but these are not aimed against
discipline and party unity"

SOVIET Chief LEAVING
LONDON FOR CONFERENCE
WITH FRENCH LEADERS

LONDON, May 2e.--The Soviet
delegates to the Anelo-Russlan con-
ference, despite inspired reports to
the contrary in the Tory press are
by no means disappointed with the
progress made by the negotiations
so far. The result Of the French
elections considerably strengthened
the diplomatic position Of the Sow
let Republic and the passage Of the
Japanese Expulsion Bill In the
American Congress, had a SOLDERING
effect on the antl-Russian saber-
rattlers In the oriental empire.

member of suspended local told the
DAILY WORKER yesterday that, 1--WE
have said from the first that the build
ing assessment WIN be paid as soon
as the proper committee is elected to
take care Of the funds.
This committee was to have con-
sisted of one member from each To-
cal union in the district council, but
it has never been formed. The com.
mittee was supposed to have been
elected and bonded before the locals
paid over the building assessment.
The membership has contributed the
money, but the local unions are hold
ing it until the building committee
is elected"
Council Meets Tonight.
A special meeting of the district
council has been called for tonight to
consider the cases Of the suspended
locals, one member of the district
council told the DAILY WORKER yes
terday.
The membership is especially
wrought up over the fact that, altho
the elections are not to be held until
the second week in June, Jensen is
trying to keep the opponents of his
slate off the ballots on the ground
that they were nominated when the
locals were under suspension.
This was confirmed when Charles
Sand, ecretary-treasurer of the dis
trict council, told the DAILY WORK
Err that he did not believe the op-
ponents Of Jensen would be allowed
back on the ballots.
Its too bad" said Sand, But ac-
cording to our law, the members of
the suspended locals are not entitled
to have their names on the ballot be-
cause they were under suspensions
when nominated"
Sand said that there were no locals
suspended who had nominees on the
Jensen slate among their member
ship.
Il don't believe the Jensen slate is
menaced by it's opponents in the COM
ing election" Sand told the DAILY
WORKER. "They haven't enough
standing to worry us. Take myself
for instance. / was unopposed for
nomination, and viii run without any
opposition"
Members of Local Union No. so,
however, violently disagreed with this
statement of Sand.
Sand told the DAILY WORKER that
in his opinion, the suspended mem
bership will be allowed to vote in
the June elections, but that Jensen
will rule that the nominees opposed
to him cannot go on the ballots. Sand
declared he believes that President
Hutchinson will back up Jensen. He
claimed the locals would be taken
back into the union as soon as they
pay the district council their building
assessment.
Jensen's opponents, however, term
the election trick pulled by Jensen as
"the rawest deal ever pulled OF in the
carpenters union"
