keep Communists out of Poland by
chopping down the forests along the

Doctors Decry Greed
Which Daily Murders
Industrial Workers

Selfishness of employers in hinder
ing medical aid to working men was
bitterly assailed by d. L. E. Cofer,
in talk before the American Medical
Association convention.
For good reasons, the employer
fears the doctor with police power -"
said DIR. Cofer. HE feels that the
doctor has come to stick his nose in
to the affairs Of the factory. He fears
that trade secrets might be discovered.
Above all, he is afraid that the med
ical man will be friendly to labor"
piece workers are made to feel I'M
favorably toward medical examina-
tons because of the time spent away
from the factory. Needless to say,
employers will not make up the loss"
Figures compiled by the National
Safety Council prove conclusively that
sheer selfish negligence is responsible
for most of the industrial accidents
and disease with which factory work
ers are afflicted, and that the only
remedy is to impose heavy fines on
employers who violate the laws, thus
touching them in their only vulnerable
spot-the pocketbook.
Assailing the National Education
Association for its backwardness in
the spread Of the knowledge of pre-
ventive medicine, DR.. J. NJ. Dodson.
Chicago practitioner, said: ut is Grim
inal that the prohibition question
should absorb all of the time OF energy
which the N. K. A. gives to health
matters"

JUNE GRADUATES

laugh loud and long, or give quiet
appreciative smile, according to the
desires of the master which you must
learn by intuition. When they state
anything as a fact, you must swear to
it whether it is so or not. You must
feed their sense of superiority. OF
course, If you are dealing with a SUI
perior servant, you may try by any
means to discredit him and take his
job away from him.
If you happen to be an honest soul,
to whom all this sham, servility and
spiritual corruption is abhorrent, then
you are in bad, indeed We have but
one bit OF advice to offer you: Go
get job in the freight-house of a
Chicago railroad hustling boxes, or
in the packinghouse shoveling fertili-
ger. Either win allow you to retain
your self-respect, earn a meagre liv-
ing, read the DAILY WORKER, join
union, become a member of the
Workers Party, and begin to fight
for the abolition of the rotten system
that makes schooling, which should
be one of mans noblest activities, to-
day a producer of tyrants and syco-
plants.
June graduates, you are coming into
world of struggle between classes
the working class and the capitalist
class. You will have to take your
position on one side or the other. If
you have any idealism, any aspira-
tions for human progress, any desire
for an intelligent ordering Of life, you
will find that you have to join the
exploited working class and partake
in Its struggle. And then you will
find that to do that most effectively,
you must join the Workers Party.

WORKERS
LEAGUE HOLDS
BIG MEETING
Many Subscriptions and
New Members Secured
By M. coLDsTEIN.

over two hundred and fifty young
workers were present at an enthusi-
astic mass and membership meeting
held by the Young Workers League Of
Chicago at the North Side Turner
Hall.
Speaking about the young reds"
comrade Tom O'Flaherty, associate
editor of the DAILY WORKER, de-
clared that they, in conjunction with
the Workers Party we're the only
forces in America interested in and
fighting in behalf of the workers.
The recent exposures in the DAILY
WORKER of the terrible conditions
prevailing at the Western Electric
plant in Cicero has shown that the
thousands Of young workers employed
there have been neglected by the or
ganized workers of this city and that
1t is up to the Communists, and par
ticularly the Young Communists to
bring the question of organizing that
great plant to the attention of the
trade unionists in Chicago.
League members have been very
active in selling the DAILY WORK
Err at the gates Of the Western
Electric; thousands of copies having
been sold there during the past week.
'Young Worker Sub Drive.
Comrade Max Schactman, editor
Of the young Worker" speaking
about the drive being carried on by
the League for three thousand new
subscribers to the Young Worker"
made a smashing indictment of the
capitalist newspapers, with their
scandals, stories of sex perversions
and sensational "red scares." 1t is al
most impossible for worker to find
anything in these rags" dealing with
the struggles of the workers, with un-
employment, with the misery and
poverty that is prevalent today.
A stirring appeal was made by COM
rade Schactman to all those present
to subscribe to the Young Worker"
the only working class youth paper in
the country that concerns itself with
the life and struggle of the exploited
young wage workers. Over forty
subscriptions were obtained, most of
them from young proletarians who
had never before been in contact with
any revolutionary propaganda.
The Chicago League is well on the
way to realize it's quota of four hun
bred subs before the 18th of August,
the day set for the end of the drive.
Nine applications for membership
were received; many of the young
workers present also expressed their
intention of visiting the league branch
in their neighborhood and becoming
better acquainted with our aims and
activities.
The meeting adjourned with sing
ing of the International led by the
boisterous young reds" from the
Marshfield Junior Group.

homely advice on how to get on in

usual thing and observe the tradi-

You have been given a training as

If they are inferior, you must cult

place. This will gain you the favor
of your superiors, and procure adj

you.
On the other hand, you must be ex-

NEW YORK CITY
Party Activities

NEW YORK, June 1s.-The Work
ers Party gave its answer to the at
tacks of LaFollette at a well-attended
mass meeting in Cooper Union, Tues
day evening, June 10th. LaFollette
was exposed as the enemy OF all work
ers' attempts to organize a class
Farmer Labor Party for independent
political action.
Kisses and jeers greeted every men
ton of the name of LaFollette. Com
rades Wicks, Poyntz, Lore and Krum-
bein pointed out the great need for a
class party Of the workers and poor
farmers this year.
A collection was taken up to pro
mote the sending of delegates to st.
Paul and to further the work for the
formation Of class Farmer Labor
Party Of close to $4,000.
The following resolution was passed
unanimously: believing that the
only solution of the immediate prob
lens of the workers and exploited
farmers in the United States is acting
politically thru political party of
their own, we therefore urge the con-
vention to be held in st. Paul on June
18th to organize a powerful class
Farmer Labor Party to challenge
alike the power of the two major
parties Of capitalism and the middle
class politicians Of the LaFollette
type"

SOVIET FINANCE

GOOD RESULTS
Czarist Refugees Now

Especial to the DAILY wOrker.)

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
MOSCOW, June 16.-Success of the
Soviet financial policy is shown by
the immense surplus of receipts over
expenditures, declared by the report
of the treasury on the national budget
for the last three months of the cur
rent fiscal year, July, August and Sep
TENDER.
Shipments Of large quantities of
grain, cotton and wool from Russia by
way of Rotterdam, which is fast be-
coming the base OF Russian commerce
In western Europe, give evidences of a
tremendous boom of the trade be-
tween Russia and Holland.
Prophecies of opponents Of the So
Wet government that the pressure
brought to bear on private capital in
Russia would decrease the deficit,
bring about further emissions of char
vonetz and disorganize the whole eco
nomic system, have proven to be
groundless assertions Of propagan-
dists. Hoping to influence the mar
ket, these agitators declared that by
June Is the Chervonetz currency
would begin tobogganning on the path
to depreciation. Today the budget
shows that expenses for the coming
three months will amount to 480,000,-
900 gold roubles, and that receipts
will total 498,O0O,000.
The policy of rigid exclusion of dis
honest and undesirable business men
has been mercilessly followed.
Altho negotiations between Holland
and Russia were broken off, business
between the two countries is flourish
ing. Representatives of the Russian
commercial mission are now visiting
Amsterdam, and Rotterdam mer-
chants have placed huge orders for
raw materials, chemicals and colonial
products.
Russian refugees are seeking the
aid of the League of Nations, which
has undertaken the task Of finding
jobs in South America for former
scions Of the nobility.
