BLANKENSTEIN GREETS
DAILY WORKER FROM
PENNSYLVANIA PRISON

If "The Daily Worker" started
without greetings from the inside
Of a prison it would hardly be COM
plete. Here is a greeting from
Israel Blankenstein, who has been
in for several years and unless the
workers get him out will stay there
few more. The SO which Com
rade Blankenstein sends should
rouse others, who are much more
fortunate, to action. Three dollars
from prisoner is a real sacrifice.
Blankenstein writes:
Dear Comrades: Congratulations
on the appearance Of The Daily
Worker. Believe me, the event is
a source of joy TO me, temporarily
disabled as am. With the w. p.
membership, ] am proud of this ac-
complishment. The appearance of
the Call and the Milwaukee Leader
was made possible only after six
years Of effort. The Daily Worker
Is launched scarcely six months after
the issuance Of the call for funds.
And the one hundred thousand dol
lars were subscribed not by lawyers
and realtors, nor from union treas
urles, but by men and women of
the shops, factories and mines.
The Daily Worker has a glorious
mission to perform-to arouse, 10
cement, to point the way TO the
workers Of America. But it will
have to fight against tremendous
odds and it will be a long time
at best before it will become SELF
sustaining. /, therefore. Comrade
Manager, move that you start i'm

It's continued existence. THE DAILY

WHO is YOUR DELEGATE?

The miners of the entire country
have, by this time, elected their Gel
egates to the Indianapolis convention
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, Jan. %, and now that you know
who is going to represent you, you
should find out where he stands on
the various issues that will come up
for consideration. There will be the
customary battles, of course, but the
question is, where does he stand on
such issues as will be brought in by
the militant miners under the leader
ship of the Progressives, to-wit:
Kansas Miners.
Reinstatement Of Jim McLachIan and the
restoration Of autonomy to Dist No. 2e.
Naturalization Of the coal mines.
Establishment Of the Labor Party.
Election Of organizers BY the membership
Six-hour day and fye-day week.
Alliance with the railroad workers.
Organization Of the unorRanized hslds.
Industrial unionism and amalgamation.
Abolition Of the payroll votes in conven.
tons.
Recognition Of Soviet Russia.
International afhllation with world labor
movement
Honest and efficient Leadership.
These are 13 definite issues that
must be thrashed out, and each and
every one is Of vital Importance TO,
not only the miners, but also TO the
entire labor movement. Make it
your business to see the one who has
been elected as delegate from your
local union. and ask him where he
stands on these questions. Take It
up in the next meeting Of your local
union and see to it that your delegate
is instructed TO support these issues
and the Progressive Program in its
entirety.

Wheeler Asked for Facts.
The letter to Mr.. Wheeler reads:

Everett P. Wheeler, Esq, 81 William
Street, New York City.
"Sir' have your letter of Novem-
Der 30 inclosing a copy of your ar
ticle reprinted from The American
Journal of International Law ana
note the discussion in your letter
with respect to the Interpretation of
section 5 of the United States crimi-
nal code. Both your letter and your
article are interesting, but what this
department needs, and what it has
never had, is some evidence to 1t
on. No names of American citizens
alleged to have offended this section
have been submitted to this depart
ment. No verbal or written CORE
spondence has been submitted to this
department. No facts constituting
intercourse have been submitted to
this department.
"If you will submit detailed evil

zens, the correspondence or inter.
course, the message or conduct of the
foreign government, the dispute or
controversy, which are necessary to
be pleaded in an indictment this de-
partment will be, as it always has
been, glad to take appropriate action.
"All that it has ever had from your
association is letters or papers of the
character of your letter of November
80, which amount to no more than
academic discussions of section s of
the criminal code. In such letter you
state:

sideration the question as to whether

JOLIET WORKERS
HEAR The LABOR
PARTY DISCUSSED
Manley and Rodriguez
Give Views to Council


Joseph Marley, for the Federated
Farmer-Labor Party, and William e,
Rodriguez for the Illinois Farmer
Labor Party, were invited TO speak
before the Central Trades and Labor
Council Of Will County, at Joliet, ILL.,,
at its last meeting.
The meeting was a crowded and
successful one. Marley opened up by
presenting the case for the Federated
Farmer-Labor Party in a comprehen-
sive and non-controversial manner.
He cited fact after fact in proof Of
the steady growth on a national scale
of the Federated Party.
Rodriguez followed, with ramb-
ling statement couched in high brow,
legal terms on the status OF the Hill
nois Farmer-Labor Party. He took
occasion to air his differences with
John Fitzpatrick, Jay Brown and Rob-
ert M. Buck on the calling Of the July
3rd convention. His whole talk was
repetition of the charges against
the Federated and the Workers Party
as agents Of Moscow.
Rodriguez displayed a woeful lack

ers in the east, but again said that
their movement was of little eonse-
auence as compared to the great in
dustrial centeYs to be found in llli-
nois.
Following his TRADE delegate
asked him about his statement that
the Illinois Federation of Labor backs
the Farmer-Labor Party, Rodriguez
sidestepped the answer but the dele
gate supplied 1t by saying: "that the
action Of the Decatur convention,
in endorsing the Gompers non-par-
tisan political policy, was a virtual
reputation of the Farmer-Labor
Party"
This meeting was one Of the most
successful ever held in Joliet, and
will mark the beginning of real in
terest in the Federated Farmer-Labor
Party.

amuse himself much more wisely than we grown-ups seem to realize.
 Too many babies are driven well-nigh mad with mistaken kindness.
 Be sure that they are warm and dry and comfortable. That they are fed punctually, given drinks of water ire quently-then let them alone. Don't dress them up too much and don't bother them.
 Life is full of discoveries for a baby. Let, him make them himself.
 As for the children who are always clamoring for 'pieces" between meals have you ever noticed that they rare ly eat properly at the table?
 Eating between meals is bad for them unless they are actually suffering from hunger. Children quickly get into the habit of "piecing," thus taking the edge off q normal appetite and interfering in no small degree with their body's digestive processes.
 Mothers with small children would have more time to bake cakes and less need of worry if they taught their children the doctrine of regularity as by-way to health.
 Regular habits of eating and drink ing, of playing and sleeping. are little golden keys of good health. Teach your children to use the keys.

Making Woman S Career In
 Home

NAN a woman with a career make ' home? Yes, if she is married to
 man who is interested in her career and sympathizes with it. Indeed, l think that the nerves and mind of the woman with a career need home more than do those of any other type; place to rest and relax in, and where she will find harmony, writes Amelita Calli-Curci in the Designer. She can not assume the drudgery of the house i; artistic demands upon her and constant study will not allow of that But she the expression of herself and her fem inity. Home should be the hobby of a woman with career. In fact think we women who make a career enjoy home more thoroughly than do those who live secluded lives.
 Nothing has brought me greater hap piness than planning for our home. My American husband, Homer Samuels, searched through magazines with me to find the architect whose houses we liked best We found him, and we built in the rambling, old English style. Our place stands on the crest of tall mountain in the Catskills, near High Mount, in New York state. Solid and enduring, it looks as if it had been there for centuries. Every woman will understand me when I say that in sum- mer-time as I watched the house grow, stone by stone, it semed to become part of me. There was to be my haven, my place of rest, my old friend whom I would find waiting for me every time that I came back.

is hardly worth knowing, for he is very old and accounted very wise.
 He had told Peter that he didn't know just where the home of Rattles was be cause it was none of his business, and that if he had known he wouldn't have told Peter because it was none of Pc | ter's business. This was quite true but suspect that it made Peter all the more anxious to find that home. Peter | is always interested in the affairs of other folks. He just cannot seem tc help it. So he made up his mind to find the home of Rattles if it took him all summer. He began to suspect that it might. Hunting for particular hole in the ground without any idea where il was likely to be was good deal like hunting for a needle in a haystack You see there are so many good holes l in the ground, some in the Green For est, some in the Green Meadows, some in the Old Orchard, some in the Old Pasture, some around the Smiling Pool and some along the Laughing Brook though he had never been there, he sus- pected that there were some along the Big River.
 First Peter sat down and tried to re member all the holes of which he knew and he knew of a great many. You know he makes uses of holes to escape from his enemies, and so he makes il his business to know about all the holes where he is in the habit of going.
 Tt must be a hole that some one else has dug" thought Peter, "because however could bird with such little 1 feet as Rattles Kingfisher has dig a hole? Of course it isn't a hole that anyone else is using, so 1t must be an old hole. I'll go visit all the old holes I know of." T
 Off he started, npperty-lipperty-lip, to visit all the old holes he could re. member on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest. He didn't once stop to think that never had he seen Rat tles on the Green Meadow or in the Green, Forest, except along the Laugh. ing Brook. If he had he would have saved himself a lot of trouble. But Peter is that way he thinks of only one thing at a time. Just then it was holes in the ground. So he pretty near ly ran his, legs off visiting all those old holes. Finally he just had to sit down and rest. He was Fed and he was discouraged, but he was just as curious as ever, and he had no idea of giving up. Jimmy Skunk happened along just then. Although Peter didn't know it, Jimmy had been watching him for some | time.
 "Lost something?" inquired Jimmy.
 Peter looked at Jimmy with such a look of surprise that Jimmy laughed right out. ''No, I haven't lost any thing. Why do you asked?" said Pc | ter.
 "You have been running about as if you were trying to find something, and so I thought you must have lost some thing" replied Jimmy, who didn'' think anything of the kind, but said il
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-01

just to find out what Peter would say.
 For few minutes Peter said noth- ing. He fairly ached to" ask Jimmy if he knew where the home of Rattles was, but he was little ashamed to. He knew that the chances were that Jimmy would tell him that 1t was none of his business. But at last he decided to risk it.
 Eve heard" said he, "that Rattles the Kingfisher makes his home in a hole in the ground, and it seems such funny thing for a bird to do that I have been visiting all the old holes I know of just to see if it is true, but haven't found it yet. You don't happen to know where his home is, do you, Jimmy?"
 'No," replied Jimmy, land I don't want to know. But if did wouldn't spend my time on the Green Meadows or in the Green Forest. :. I'd look around those places where Rattles, is most often seen. Did you ever sec him very far from water2" rs,
 "NoP confessed Peter; T hadn't thought of that" !.
 'Well, think about it now," replied Jimmy Skunk, and went on about his business.

Golden Keys To Health

ssCRACI0Us-there's the baby P s0T As she spoke the harrassed
 mother put down the cake she was mixing and ran to the veranda where her four-months-old son was cry ing Justify.
 Her five-year-old daughter followed getting in the way and winding herself up in the baby's shawl in an effort to help her mother carry the weeping child into the house.
 It was fully fifteen minutes before the baby was hushed, sootfed, rocked and coaxed off to sleep again. By that time the cake batter was looking dis couraged and the oven was far too hot
 Life Is discouraging," sighed Mary Purvis as, before her cake was quite ready to go into the oven, the baby began to fret again.
 Mother, may I have some bread and butter and apple saucer" begged Tom mic, the ten-year-old, appearing hope fully at the back door. And: Mother, I want some, too ?' whimpered little Jane, following on Tommie's heels.
 Copy cat!" hissed Tommie, and hur- ried into the garden.
 Then Jane wept of course. And the baby cried and the cake fell, instead of rising as it should have, and Mary Purvis was on the verge of tears her self.
 Not a very unusual story, after all, but one that unfortunately is too often true.
 The baby, as a matter of fact, had slept long enough. He was a normally healthy, happy infant and it was still early in the afternoon. What he want ed to be alolwed to do was to lie awake and talk to himself in baby language. He did not crave entertainment. neither did he desire to be caught up every time he opened his mouth and jigged and hushed, rocked cradled in his moth- er's arms. Nor, when he cried did he always want a drink of water or a silver rattle.
 He wanted to be normal-lie awake. That was all.
 Small babies are more or less re- stricted when wrapped in shawl, like little woelen coccoons. They love to kick and stretch and feel perfectly free and untrammelled. Left alone, the average baby will
